RNP Chapter 664 The Skeleton Demon!
Chapter 664 The Skeleton Demon!
The voice was neither fast nor slow, each step seemingly treading on the intervals between heartbeats, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Mo's gaze was intense, and he secretly gathered his inner strength, staring intently at the darkness.
Who else could appear deep within the Blood Demon's lair besides the Blood Demon himself?
The footsteps are getting closer.
Finally, a figure stepped out of the dark red halo, completely exposed to the dim light of the oil lamp at the end of the passage.
However, what Lin Mo saw was not the Blood Demon he had expected.
The first thing to appear was a leg bone so white it was almost blinding, as if it had been carved from the finest jade.
Then came another one.
Then there's the pelvis, spine, ribs... made up of countless pale bones tightly joined together.
In the blink of an eye, a humanoid skeleton, over ten feet tall and entirely pieced together from human bones, completely filled Lin Mo's field of vision.
The crystal-clear white bones are like works of art.
However, the winding, twisting, dark red lines on the white bones, which seemed to be naturally formed, added to their eeriness and ferocity.
At this moment, the head of the white skeleton drooped slightly.
Within those empty eye sockets, two eerie green flames of the soul flickered.
It exuded a chilling, resentful, and scrutinizing aura, which was firmly fixed on Lin Mo.
A terrifying aura, a mixture of eerie ghostly energy and savage demonic power, emanated from its skeletal body, creating an oppressive atmosphere as heavy as a mountain.
It's more than ten times stronger than those demons and monsters from before!
"This is……"
Lin Mo's gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
Skeletons turned into spirits?
Tianjue, standing to the side, couldn't help but gasp.
That usually cold face was now replaced by undisguised shock and solemnity.
He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "The Bone Demon!"
"Oh?"
The eerie green soul fire flickering in the eye sockets of the white bone skull turned slightly toward Tianjue.
The jaw opens and closes, producing a metallic, grinding sound that makes your teeth ache.
"You actually recognize me?"
"Of course I recognize it."
A hint of apprehension flashed deep in Tianjue's eyes, and his voice was deep and solemn.
"It is said that the White Bone Demon is a special kind of creature in the Abyss Demon Realm."
It is formed by the fusion of bones filled with resentment and bitterness from ancient battlefields or mass graves.
Born from demonic energy, it is naturally endowed with a strong ferocious aura and is bloodthirsty by nature.
Judging from the demonic patterns appearing all over its body and the solidified soul fire... it is probably not an ordinary skeleton demon.
"At least a demon general level who has devoured countless of his own kind and evolved!"
"Oh, I didn't expect you little bird to have some knowledge."
The Bone Demon seemed quite satisfied with Tianjue's "introduction".
The soul fire pulsed even more vigorously, carrying a condescending sense of approval.
Upon hearing the term "little bird," Tianjue's face twitched violently, and a flash of violent anger appeared in his eyes.
Normally, anyone who dared to insult him like this would have been torn to shreds long ago.
But at this moment, facing this skeletal demon from the abyss, he ultimately suppressed his killing intent.
The opponent is formidable; a direct confrontation would be unwise.
He subtly turned to the side and used a secret technique to transmit his voice, which urgently entered Lin Mo's ears.
"Kid, things have changed! Something terrible is going to happen!"
The core cultivation technique of the Blood Demon is called the "Yellow Spring Blood Demon Scripture".
It is said that by practicing the final level, 'Yellow Spring Guide', one can briefly connect their consciousness to the abyss demon realm.
By offering flesh and spirit as sacrifices, they forcibly open a temporary spatial passage and summon powerful monsters from it to command!
This skeleton demon is one of the most troublesome types!
Judging from this... could it be that the old ghost Blood Demon has actually mastered the final level of the "Yellow Springs Blood Demon Scripture"?
If that's the case, then we'll be facing a Blood Demon who can summon abyssal monsters.
The danger of Lin Mo's battle will increase dramatically, and the outcome is unpredictable!
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes flashed.
However, there was no trace of panic on his face.
The experience he has accumulated is enough to allow him to step into the legendary realm of martial arts grandmaster.
The reason for remaining still is not that I cannot, but that I am unwilling.
He pursues the ultimate, a flawless foundation.
Just like forging a divine weapon, it takes countless hammerings and forgings to achieve its sharpness.
Therefore, he remained at the Grandmaster level.
But this "master" is no longer the same as that "master".
His vital energy was as abundant as rivers and seas, his physical body as resilient as dragons and elephants, and his spirit as refined as Vajra.
Just how powerful it was, even he himself had never fully tested.
Looking at the world today, martial arts masters have reached the pinnacle and are now able to dominate.
But Lin Mo already understood that the waters of this world were far deeper and more murky than they appeared.
The Yin God Meng E, whom he slew; the three-headed god-king he saw guarding the gates of the Netherworld, whose divine might was like a prison, whom he had seen through the Netherworld; Aputuo, who had once crossed over to cast a wisp of power from the Evil Dragon Prison; and Tian Jue and the Blood Demon before him...
Which one can be judged by common sense?
Ordinary masters here probably wouldn't even be qualified to be their opponents.
The skeletal demon before them, with its fierce aura and profound demonic power, was clearly among them.
But so what?
Deep in Lin Mo's eyes was absolute calmness and confidence.
He never lacks trump cards.
Whether it's the three sword techniques nurtured in one's heart, or other secret techniques that haven't been used, or even...
That final step that can be taken at any time!
Even if he were truly outmatched, he was absolutely confident that he could escape unscathed.
Therefore, after the initial surprise, his mind returned to a state of calm.
"I don't know about the others,"
Lin Mo's gaze swept over the tall, skeletal demonic body with sharp intensity, his tone calm.
"But I am clear on one point: if the Blood Demon really has mastered the final level of the 'Yellow Spring Blood Demon Scripture' as you say."
So, the one standing here now should be him.
Why bother summoning the skeletal demon to block our path?
Upon hearing this, Tianjue was taken aback at first, then his eyes flashed with a sudden sense of enlightenment!
"That makes sense! Yes, that's right!"
Tianjue nodded in sudden realization.
"That old devil Blood Demon is vindictive and extremely arrogant!"
If he truly possessed overwhelming strength, how could he possibly let go of such a golden opportunity to personally torture and kill you, both to vent his hatred and to establish his authority?
He must be at a crucial stage of his cultivation right now, unable to spare any attention, or...
Forcibly summoning you, the Bone Demon General, was already his limit; he himself was falling into an unprecedented state of weakness!
The Bone Demon originally thought that the two would tremble with fear once they learned of his name.
Unexpectedly, instead of trembling with fear and kneeling to beg for mercy, the two began to talk as if no one else was around.
This action undoubtedly enraged the Bone Demon.
Especially that human ant, whose eyes showed not a trace of fear from beginning to end.
Instead, it revealed a kind of utter disdain that it found extremely repulsive... ignoring!
“Ant… your energy and blood are very vigorous.”
The skeletal demon's jaws opened and closed, the cold, piercing sound of metal scraping against metal carrying an uncontrollable rage.
The eerie green soul fire in his eye sockets flickered violently, locking onto Lin Mo, "You will become the first flesh and blood sacrifice I offer upon descending to this world!"
Your bones will be extracted by me and polished into ornaments!
"A pile of bones pieced together dares to call itself king?"
Lin Mo scoffed, his eyes instantly sharpening like knives.
"Aaaaaah! You ignorant ants, die!"
The Bone Demon was utterly enraged!
Its right claw, gleaming with a jade-like luster, suddenly rose, its five fingers like hooks.
Enveloped in a thick black aura of death and a pungent, fishy wind, it moved so fast that it left afterimages as it viciously clawed down at Lin Mo's head!
