Chapter 62

"Hide first!" Su Shier reacted the fastest, grabbing Zhu Hanwei and hiding behind a nearby rock in the garden.

Immediately, he calmed his true essence, completely concealing his aura.

Turning to look at Zhu Hanwei, he whispered a reminder:

"Conceal your aura, don't make a sound! If you're discovered, use the escape talisman to leave!"

Zhu Hanwei was already in a panic, but hearing Su Shier's voice, he felt as if he had found a mainstay. He quickly concealed his aura and held the escape talisman in his hand.

The next second, three figures landed in succession.

The first to land was a hunched old man in a gray robe, exuding a sinister and evil aura. The old man was at the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage, with a crooked mouth and a slanted eye, his face devoid of any blood, making him look particularly terrifying.

Neither Su Shier nor Zhu Hanwei recognized this person, but from his pale face, they could guess that he was the so-called White Bone High Priest.

The two people who followed, however, made Su Shier and Zhu Hanwei's pupils contract simultaneously.

"Senior Sister Xiao Yue?"

"Senior Brother Han Yu?"

"How could it be them?"

Neither of them spoke, but their faces showed surprise.

Zhu Hanwei visibly relaxed, feeling much safer with these two present.

Su Shier narrowed his eyes and immediately understood. So the task Senior Sister Xiao Yue mentioned was to kill this guy?

After a moment's thought, the two exchanged a glance and did not rush to reveal their position, continuing to observe the situation.

Han Yu held a golden spear, his true essence surging, looking mighty and impressive.

He glared at the hunched old man, coldly snorted, and said angrily:

"Hmph! White Bone High Priest, you have no chance of escape today! If you know what's good for you, die obediently. Otherwise, I'll make sure you are completely destroyed, leaving you no chance to reincarnate!"

"Escape? Do you really think this old man is afraid of you, you ignorant brats?"

"Coming here, should I say you are ignorant or foolish?"

The White Bone High Priest turned sharply after landing, looking at the two pursuers, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

He spoke in a sinister voice, quickly forming seals with his hands, muttering incantations.

"Bone spirits, heed my command! White Bone Sword, weep and shock the spirits!"

With a shout, the ground trembled.

Then, bones of various sizes emerged from the ground, floating and quickly forming eight bone swords, each as tall as a person.

Each bone sword was composed of 204 bones, containing astonishing spiritual energy and怨气 (resentment).

The eight bone swords hovered in the air, circling around the White Bone High Priest, immediately enveloping the entire Lin Manor in a powerful pressure.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue and Han Yu exchanged a glance, their faces changing instantly.

These eight bone swords were clearly not ordinary, and both of them felt a strong sense of danger.

"Senior Sister, this old man has too many tricks. We must end this quickly!" Han Yu frowned and immediately said to Xiao Yue.

"Right! We must not let him escape again this time!"

Xiao Yue also looked serious.

Nodding slightly, she held the Jinghong Sword, infusing it with true essence from her body.

With a sweep of her hand, several rainbow-like sword beams flew out.

Each sword beam emitted a fierce aura, heading straight for the White Bone High Priest.

"Heavenly Cloud Control!"

Han Yu, standing beside her, was not to be outdone. He held his spear and thrust it forward with force.

Instantly, a strong wind rose, and a golden spear shadow shot towards the White Bone High Priest.

"Ignorant brats, you dare to show off your skills in front of this old man!"

"Today, I will take your lives and use them to forge more White Bone Swords."

The White Bone High Priest remained calm, forming seals with his hands, and a powerful true essence surged from his body.

In the air, the bone swords moved according to his gestures.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The sound of swords breaking through the air echoed as the eight bone swords flew towards Xiao Yue and Han Yu.

The next second, their attacks met in the air.

A powerful energy exploded.

After the spiritual energy explosion, the eight bone swords only trembled slightly.

"What?!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yue and Han Yu's faces changed again.

They knew the old man was skilled, but they didn't expect him to be so formidable.

The sword beams continued to attack, a fierce killing intent enveloping the two.

Hiding in the shadows, Su Shier's gaze immediately fell on Xiao Yue. He subconsciously gripped the Silver Light Sword, ready to help at any moment.

In the Yun Ge Sect, Xiao Yue was the only one who had taken care of him.

In fact, Xiao Yue was kind and friendly to every disciple, but that didn't concern him!

The bone swords drew closer, and Xiao Yue tightly gripped the Jinghong Sword, preparing for a decisive strike.

Beside her, Han Yu gritted his teeth and stared intently at the sword beams. Then, he wielded his spear with great force.

"Universe Embrace!"

With a loud shout, he thrust his spear, creating eight afterimages in one go.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Several sounds echoed in succession.

Each spear thrust precisely hit a flying bone sword, causing a powerful energy explosion.

After the clear sounds, the bone swords flew back, quickly returning to the White Bone High Priest's side.

Han Yu, however, was forced to retreat several steps, his tiger's mouth split, and his arms trembling. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was seriously injured.

At the same time, a strange force was moving within his body, making it difficult for his true essence to function normally.

Quickly stabilizing himself, he immediately warned Xiao Yue: "Senior Sister, these bone swords are strange. The yin energy surrounding them can hinder the flow of true essence!"

Xiao Yue nodded, her expression particularly serious, and said in a low voice: "Right! This guy is indeed tough. It seems we can only retreat and come up with a new plan to subdue him."

Seeing Han Yu injured by a single move, she immediately realized that with her current strength, she could not possibly deal with the White Bone High Priest.

At this moment, she had already decided to leave.

"Leave? Little girl, do you think you have a chance?"

"Judging from your spiritual roots, you both have good potential. If you can be forged into White Bone Swords, you will surely be very powerful!"

The White Bone High Priest laughed coldly, continuing to form seals with his hands.

The bone swords that had just returned to his side immediately shot out like meteors, landing around Xiao Yue and Han Yu, blocking their path forward and backward.

He had gone to great lengths to lure them here; how could he let them escape?

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yue snorted, gritted her teeth, and without hesitation, activated the Jinghong Sword, unleashing a strike with the power of a spiritual weapon.

"Buzz..."

The Jinghong Sword swept lightly, and a brilliant rainbow beam shot out, immediately causing a faint buzzing sound in the air.

In the buzzing sound, the Jinghong Sword's light dimmed, and a long crack appeared on the blade.

"Bad! How is this possible? You actually have a spiritual weapon?!"

The White Bone High Priest's face changed abruptly, and he shouted in surprise, hurriedly recalling his bone swords.

His bone swords were only top-grade magical weapons refined using special methods, far inferior to spiritual weapons.

However, his reaction was still too slow. The rainbow beam swept past, and with two cracks, two of the bone swords were shattered and scattered on the ground.

Having landed a successful strike, Xiao Yue did not waste time. She quickly grabbed Han Yu and prepared to leave.
