Chapter 393 Bone Prison
Chapter 393 Bone Prison
The fierce vertical pupil shrank into a thin line, and the scaly face was distorted by rage.
He stared at the two daring human monks in front of him, and the bone staff in his claws made a creaking sound under the heavy burden.
"Despicable human beings! How dare you slaughter orcs in the Orc Kingdom!"
He roared, his voice like the friction of metal, "This elder will make your heads into decorations for the throne!"
Before he finished speaking, he slammed the bone staff to the ground.
In an instant, the ground within a radius of hundreds of feet began to tremble violently, and countless pale bone spurs broke out of the ground, like a suddenly growing forest of death.
The tips of these bone spurs glowed with a dark green poisonous light, and each one attacked the three people with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
"No, retreat quickly!" Hu Qing shouted loudly, and his body rushed backward like lightning.
Gu Yang reacted extremely quickly, the Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand emitted a bright black light and instantly transformed into a giant sword as wide as a door panel.
The muscles in his arms flexed, and he fiercely plunged the giant sword into the ground—
"Rock barrier!"
Rumble!
Several thick earth walls rose from the ground, temporarily blocking the attack of the bone spurs.
However, these seemingly solid defenses were as fragile as paper in the face of the fierce demonic power. They only lasted for a few breaths before collapsing and turning into flying ashes.
"Xiao Zi!" Gu Yang's eyes were bloodshot. He saw the purple dragon in mid-air unable to dodge.
A bone spur instantly pierced through his slender dragon tail, and blood splattered in the air like a blooming rose.
A cold light flashed in Hu Qing's eyes, and his figure turned into a shadow.
At the critical moment, he caught the falling Xiao Zi with his left hand, grabbed Gu Yang's collar with his right hand, and his feet released spiritual power, and he flew backwards at an astonishing speed.
"I want to see how far your bone spur can extend!" Hu Qing gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He could feel the breath of death chasing after him. The bone spurs seemed to be alive and kept extending, with the closest one only an inch away from his back.
Xiao Zi's face was pale, but the dragon's strong physique allowed him to remain awake.
The venom on these bone spurs continued to erode the spiritual power in his body.
"This guy... is more troublesome than expected..." Gu Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gripped the giant sword tightly.
Standing in the middle of the bone forest, Zhe let out a harsh, sinister laugh: "Run! Let's see how far you can run!"
He raised his bone staff again, and the bone spurs stuck in the ground suddenly began to twist and deform, with the tops cracking into five claw shapes, like countless white bone claws grabbing towards the three people!
But Hu Qing suddenly accelerated and escaped from this place in an instant. He didn't believe that this bone spur had no distance limit.
Soon, as he expected, the bone spurs' attack came to an abrupt halt, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters was covered with hideous holes, like a target pierced by countless sharp arrows.
Zhe retracted the bone staff, and a cruel light flashed in his scarlet vertical pupils.
"Is that all you can do?"
He sneered, a look of contempt on his scaly face. "A human who can only run away like a rat dares to challenge this elder?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his claws and a strange suction force burst out from his palms.
In an instant, all the blood on the ground disappeared - including the dragon blood spilled by Xiao Zi and the blood splattered when the black-feathered vulture was pierced by the bone spurs.
Even the blood droplets oozing from the soil—all gathered towards his palm as if summoned.
Hu Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a scarlet blood ball spinning rapidly in his fierce palm. It expanded a little with each rotation, emitting a creepy feeling of oppression.
"Can't let him finish!"
Hu Qing suddenly jumped up, the standard long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and pierced Zhe's back.
The sword was as fast as lightning, and the tip of the sword even tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
However, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhe's mouth.
"You're the one I've been waiting for!"
He suddenly smashed the blood ball to the ground under his feet, and in an instant, a dazzling blood light burst out.
Hu Qing only felt a scarlet glow before his eyes, and then a shock wave like a tidal wave hit him head-on.
"boom!!!"
Amid the deafening explosion, Hu Qing flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, plowing a gully dozens of meters long on the ground.
He struggled to stand up and spat out a mouthful of blood. The long sword in his hand had already broken into several pieces, leaving only the hilt in his hand.
"A Qing!" Gu Yang's eyes were bloodshot and he was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Xiao Zi.
Xiao Zi's face was pale, and the wound on the dragon's tail was still bleeding. He grabbed Gu Yang and shook his head slowly.
The monster at the center of the explosion was standing there unharmed, while the splattered blood was wriggling on the ground like a living thing.
Gradually, they gathered into small blood-red snakes, spitting out their tongues and swimming towards Hu Qing.
Zhe licked the blood on his claws and grinned, "Dragon blood is indeed delicious. After I kill you, this elder will taste it carefully."
Hu Qing struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His robe had been blown to shreds, revealing the soft armor underneath that was gleaming with a faint golden light - it was this treasure that reduced a lot of damage at the critical moment.
Fortunately, this time when I went out, Mr. Xia gave me a lot of good things.
"Is that all you're capable of?" Hu Qing sneered, deliberately provoking him, "The orc elder is no more than that."
Seeing this, Gu Yang no longer hesitated and sat cross-legged, his face turning pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual power in his body surged towards the mysterious twin flowers in his dantian like a dam breaking.
As spiritual power continued to be injected, the patterns on the petals gradually lit up, emitting a soft light.
"Hold on..." Gu Yang clenched his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead.
He could clearly feel his spiritual power rapidly draining away, but his eyes became more determined.
Hu Qing knelt on one knee and suddenly his whole body shook.
A warm and powerful force surged out from deep within the body, like a warm current of spring that instantly flowed through every part of the body.
He looked down in surprise and saw that the blood vessels in his arms were glowing with a faint golden light - that was all the power transmitted by Gu Yang through the twin flowers!
Hu Qing knew without looking back that it was Gu Yang who was exerting force, so he couldn't let Gu Yang down.
He narrowed his scarlet pupils and observed the scene with great interest:
"Interesting, sharing spiritual power? It seems you have more secrets than I thought."
He licked his fangs and smiled greedily, "But it doesn't matter. Once I bring your bodies back, all these secrets will be mine."
Hu Qing slowly stood up straight, and light golden spiritual energy began to linger around him.
He stared at Zhe indifferently, his voice frighteningly calm: "Really?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.
"So fast! Has your realm also improved?" Zhe's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively swung his bone staff. A thick bone wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking his way.
"Qiang!"
Amidst the harsh sound of metal collision, Hu Qing's sword energy slashed fiercely on the bone wall, sparking countless sparks.
The iron-hard bone wall was actually cracked deeply by this sword!
Zhe's face changed slightly and he quickly retreated a few steps.
He hadn't expected that this human's speed and strength would increase so much after gaining the power of his companions.
"Nothing more than that!" He clapped his hands to the ground with a sinister smile, "Bone Prison: Thousand Thorns!"
The earth shook violently, and countless sharp bone spurs shot out from the ground like a rainstorm, covering an area so wide that it almost covered the entire battlefield.
Hu Qing's figure shuttled between the bone spurs like a ghost, and each step was precisely placed on the only gap.
"Too slow." Hu Qing's voice suddenly sounded in Zhe's ears.
Zhe was horrified, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
Hu Qing's sword had already cut through his blood crystal scales, bringing up a puff of dark red blood!
"Damn humans!" Zhe roared furiously, and the bone wings behind him suddenly spread out, and countless tiny bone needles shot out in all directions like a rainstorm.
Hu Qing had anticipated this and quickly retreated to a safe distance.
He looked down at the sword in his hand. The hideous blood on the sword was actually corroding the metal, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Toxic?" Hu Qing frowned slightly and threw away the scrapped sword.
He looked through all his storage rings, then his expression changed, it seemed that he had no other weapons.
In the center of the battlefield, Zhe has completely gone berserk.
He swung the bone staff wildly, each attack carrying devastating force.
Huge bone pillars continued to rise from the ground, sharp bones rained down from the sky, and the entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a hell of bones.
