Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 287 The Bone Mighty Demon!

"Sword energy transforming into silk?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the elderly man surnamed Ji felt his scalp tingle and was about to explode.

As a Golden Core cultivator, how could he not know what it meant for sword energy to turn into threads?
Moreover, Gu Yuan's technique of turning sword energy into silk, which involves turning a flying sword into silk threads, is incredibly sharp and is a superior technique of sword cultivators, unstoppable!
He wanted to use his natal magic weapon, the short sword, to defend himself, but unfortunately, his natal magic weapon was currently entangled with the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, and he couldn't spare the time at all.

However, sensing the terrifying killing intent contained within the silver thread, the old man surnamed Ji had no choice but to use his trump card.

He simply opened his mouth and spat out a small blue gourd.

This gourd was only an inch in size, small and exquisite, yet it faintly exuded an astonishing aura, giving people a sense of dread and oppression.

With a mere shake, the small gourd, only an inch tall, grew to over a foot tall, spewing out a pale blue flame that emitted an astonishing temperature.

Even Gu Yuan sensed a dangerous aura from the power contained within!

However, the only flaw is that this little blue gourd has a hole the size of an egg on its belly.

It was precisely because of this hole that the aura of the small blue gourd weakened considerably, giving it a feeling of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

magic weapon!

Gu Yuan immediately recognized that this was a magical artifact.

Magic treasures are objects that surpass magical artifacts. Gu Yuan's magical artifact, the Silver Dragon Sword, is a rare and top-grade magical artifact with sixty-three restrictions.

Such a treasure is rare, and it would be beneath the dignity of a Golden Core cultivator to use it.

Buddhist ritual implements are classified into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Beneath the magic weapon lies a total of seventy-two earthly restrictions, while the range of top-grade magic artifacts is fifty-five to seventy-two restrictions.

Gu Yuan's Silver Dragon Sword is naturally a top-grade magic weapon, but it is still quite far from being a magic treasure.

Even if Gu Yuan breaks through to the Golden Core realm and properly refines this flying sword into his natal flying sword, it would still take three to five hundred years before there is even a slight chance that he could refine it into a magic weapon!
Well, the possibility is very small, only a tiny, almost negligible one.

Even Gu Yuan's master, Master Heling, used a top-grade magic weapon as his natal flying sword.

And not illegal treasures.

This shows just how rare and precious a magical artifact is!
Fortunately, despite being a magical artifact, this one was damaged and incomplete, with only a small portion of its power remaining. Therefore, Gu Yuan had no reason to be wary.

His swordsmanship has reached an extremely high level, and the sword technique of turning sword energy into silk is known for its sharpness.

The silver sword threads formed by the Silver Dragon Sword were ten times more powerful, and the magic gourd was only incomplete, so he naturally had no reason to be wary of anything.

creak- creak-

As expected, the true fire spewed from the blue gourd was shattered into pieces by the sword threads formed by Gu Yuan's silver dragon sword.

The magic gourd itself was also shredded by the sword threads, making a piercing sound, and a faint sword mark even appeared on its surface.

Gu Yuan formed a sword incantation with both hands, and then the hand seals changed, and the wisp of silver sword thread instantly split into two, then into four, then into eight, and finally into sixteen.

As soon as the sixteen sword threads appeared, the old man surnamed Ji was dumbfounded. Then he saw eight of the sword threads trap the blue magic gourd, while the other eight sword threads went straight for the old man surnamed Ji.

At this point, even though he was a Golden Core cultivator, he had reached a point where he had exhausted all his tricks.

Entangled by eight sword threads, even with protective supernatural powers, he was instantly torn to pieces, only managing a shrill, rapid scream before turning into a pile of mangled flesh. Seeing this, many cultivators in the hall were stunned into silence.

Many people were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated and fled for their lives.

Gu Yuan was simply too ruthless, and the methods he used were too decisive and terrifying.

A perfectly healthy Golden Core cultivator was actually shredded into a pile of minced meat right in front of everyone, which was hard for the crowd to accept and filled them with fear.

It's best to stay as far away from people like that as possible.

However, at this time,
A white, translucent skeletal hand, as white as mutton fat jade, silently reached out and pressed against Gu Yuan's back.

A chilling feeling spread throughout Gu Yuan's body!

However, this was precisely when Gu Yuan was at his most vulnerable.

At this moment, his two spirit pets were still some distance away from him. The Silver Dragon Sword had not yet been retrieved, and it would take some time for it to react. Gu Yuan's two most proficient methods were temporarily unusable.

In other words, the timing of this attack was absolutely perfect.

As for Gu Yuan's reaction, it was straightforward and even more direct!
He turned around, raised his hand and threw a punch, his entire palm covered with a layer of eerie black light.

This punch was delivered without any fanfare or sound, and it didn't even stir up any wind or energy. Instead, it gave people a strange and uncomfortable feeling.

Wherever it passed, even sounds and vibrations seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared.

Then this punch met the skeletal hand.

One black, one white; one fist, one claw; the two collided.

Bang!
With a faint, muffled sound, Gu Yuan took a few steps back, and the black light of the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power in his hand flickered erratically.

As for the owner of that skeletal hand, he now revealed his true form, which turned out to be a skeleton demon with a body as white as jade!

Gu Yuan had seen skeleton demons before, but those skeleton demons he had seen before were just ordinary ones. With Gu Yuan's current cultivation level, he could probably kill a few with a spit.

The skeleton demon before them was different. Its bones were white and delicate, as if carved from mutton fat jade. It did not look like a skeleton, but rather like a masterpiece of art.

It is very likely an upgraded version of the Bone Demon – the Bone Mighty Demon!
Moreover, a faint red light flickered within both eye sockets, pulsating calmly, giving off a lively yet eerie feeling.

This skeleton demon clearly possesses a certain level of intelligence!

Gu Yuan first stared intently at the skeleton, his brows furrowed, then looked at a rockery: "Just who are you?"

"Now that things have come to this, why not show yourself?"

He had already figured it out: this skeleton demon was not a cultivator, but a magical artifact or a demon lord refined by a demonic cultivator!

The real culprit is hiding in the shadows.

"Good! Well done, Gu Yuan! To defeat a Golden Core cultivator with only the cultivation of a Celestial Realm cultivator, and to withstand my Bone Mighty Demon God with your physical strength, you are even more powerful than I imagined!"

An old man with plain looks, dark skin, thin body, and a face full of wrinkles walked out from behind the artificial hill.

This person was the same dark-skinned, thin old man who had given Gu Yuan a faint sense of crisis earlier!
