Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 287 The White Bone Arm: Until We Meet Again?

Realizing he had been used, Fang Shu remained calm and composed, his voice steady as he simply blurted out:

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Please give me these valuables."

Upon hearing this, the immortal surnamed Hui's laughter suddenly rose, like the hooting of an owl, as he uttered:
"Haha, it's unfortunate that I can't meet you, and I also need to borrow your head to appease my sect."

The man leaped to his feet, his withered fingers flying, and pointed a finger at Fang Shu, shouting, "Deploy troops and generals, heed my command! Go!"

Click click.

The skeletons that were transformed from the disciples of the Bone Temple suddenly had their eye sockets filled with ghostly fire, and their white bones clattered as they formed a white bone army formation in an instant.

Nearly ten skeletons swarmed around like ants, closing in from all sides, their sharp bone claws bringing with them gusts of eerie wind and ghostly aura.

As for the gray-robed immortal, his figure was like smoke, drifting erratically within the skeleton array.

This fang sometimes reached out from the left wing, sometimes attacked from behind. Its right arm was white and bony, gleaming with the cold light of jade. It could be large or small. Each feint was precisely aimed at Fang Shu's vital points, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, waiting for the right moment to devour him.

Compared to the previous battles, the gray-robed immortal was clearly using his full strength now.

In an instant, it seemed as if this fiend was turning around and trying to kill Fang Shu.

Ding Ding Ding!
Fang Shu was not idle either. He turned around quickly, and the nail-headed arrows in his sleeve poured down like a torrential rain. At the same time, he formed a sword with his right hand and used the sword technique he had learned on the mountain.

The two nail-headed arrows transformed into two streaks of black light, shooting out like rain, continuous as mercury spilling onto the ground, relentlessly piercing the gray shadow.

Unfortunately, the right arm of that immortal surnamed Hui was strange. Judging from its texture, it was harder than refined gold and was in no way inferior to the Nine Tribulations White Sword on the Golden Mountain!

With a casual deflection, he sent the square-headed arrow flying, sending sparks flying and veering off course.

The various filth and evil energies associated with the nail-headed arrow had little effect on this bone arm.

If it weren't for the fact that this monstrous creature was still somewhat clumsy in maneuvering this bony arm, with occasional sluggishness in its movements, its power would probably be three times stronger.

Pfft!

Just then, Fang Shu lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped out of the encirclement of the white bone soldiers, like a hawk taking a somersault.

However, as his figure rose into the air, his movements inevitably paused for a moment because Qi Refining Immortals could not step into the air on their own.

Several invisible ghostly energies wrapped around his ankles!
This delighted the immortal surnamed Hui, who seized the opportunity and thrust out his right arm like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, fiercely grabbing at Fang Shu's chest with a foul stench!
The other party also emitted a loud laugh, which seemed to come from within their consciousness.

"The one who will kill you is none other than Hui Yi!"

Rumble!
This beast's aura was so powerful that it caused muffled thunder to rumble in the sky above the secret realm, and streaks of lightning and silver snakes to writhe in the dark clouds, its majestic presence seemingly ready to unleash a thunderous punishment at any moment.

This strike hit the target squarely.

Hui Yi's right arm bone suddenly unleashed magical power equivalent to that of a seventh-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Gu worms protecting Fang Shu were suddenly crushed and exploded with a crackling sound, bursting into pus and blood, leaving dead and injured everywhere, falling like rain.

Then, in Huiyi's imagination, Fang Shu's body was not covered in blood and flesh, nor were there any broken bones or tendons.

Only chains of spiritual light, like slender snakes emerging from their holes, shot out swiftly from Fang Shu's collar!

Runes flowed on the chains, and golden light shone brightly, instantly protecting his entire body completely. Like an iron clamp, it firmly gripped Hui Yi's ferocious white bone right arm!

This scene was precisely the Foundation Establishment Armor Talisman, which, under Fang Shu's command, promptly protected its master, saving him from trouble.

"Foundation Building Talisman?"

Hui Yi's gaze narrowed slightly, then a cold smile appeared on his face: "A mere talisman dares to compete with my treasure?"

He was about to shake his bony arm and use his great magic to shatter these obstructive chains, so that this ignorant brat could see what a true Foundation Establishment treasure was.

Just as Hui Yi made a move, a cold smile appeared on Fang Shu's face, which he had the upper hand to control.

At the same time, a deadly sense of crisis, like a thorn in his back, coiled around Hui Yi's back like a venomous snake!

"not good!!"

Hui Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was terrified. He hurriedly tried to retract his bone arm to protect himself.

However, those obstructive chains seemed to be alive, wrapping around his bony arm layer by layer, continuing to trap it. Their size also changed according to his shape, making it impossible for him to pull them back for the time being.

So he hastily made a hand seal with his left hand, talismans burned on his body, and as his true energy surged, layers of light rose up, their texture thick and substantial, almost reaching the level of Foundation Establishment spells.
Take a breath.

His protective spell, once activated, only lasted for a single breath before being pierced by a deafening roar, its spiritual light scattering everywhere.

Pfft!

Hui Yi's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with small pieces of internal organs.

With a whoosh, three nail-headed arrows appeared in front of him, arranged in the three directions of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The arrows trembled and dripped blood!
These three nail-headed arrows were interconnected, and the power they unleashed was formidable, far beyond what a mere quasi-Foundation Establishment level protective talisman could withstand.

Just now, they joined forces to break the spell and pierce through Huiyi's body.

If Huiyi hadn't turned around in time and avoided the heart orifice, he would have already died from a shattered heart orifice.

Even so, Huiyi's face was ashen, and his eyes showed fear.

"What a vicious magical artifact! It seems that Luo Fuyin's death just now was not unjust."

Hui Yi vaguely sensed that even the white bone of his right arm within this secret realm might not be able to suppress the three nail-headed arrows from before.

"Not dead yet?"

Seeing that the thief was still alive, Fang Shu immediately cast another spell, summoning the nail-headed arrows to deliver a fatal blow.

Whizzing.

The three spiked arrows, like bees and butterflies flitting among flowers, nimbly turned in mid-air, their tips shifting, and aimed at Hui Yi's three vital points: his brow, heart, and dantian, before hurtling towards him.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Damn it!

This horrified Hui Yi. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately spat out another mouthful of blood, disregarding his internal injuries.

This mouthful was essence blood, which was directly spat onto the skeletal right arm.

Boom! A blood-red, fierce light, like fire, ignited on the right arm of this fiend. It was a malevolent aura that he had unleashed by burning his life essence, both eerie and ferocious.

He simply waved his hand, and with a series of clicks, the sound of his fingers clicking filled the air.

This caused the armor on Fang Shu's body to shake violently, and the chains that were holding his bone arm to break off one by one, shattering into countless sparks of light.

Hui Yi finally withdrew his right arm and hurriedly swung his bone arm, transforming it into a bone shield that protected his entire body from wind and rain!
Clang, clang, clang—three spiked arrows, once again failing to achieve their goal.

At this moment, a sharp shout came from Hui Yi's mouth: "You dare to hurt me? You're asking for death!"

This monstrous creature had a ferocious appearance, and its aura rose steadily. Blood flames and ghostly energy intertwined, eventually condensing into a three-zhang-tall white bone phantom behind it.

The enormous skeletal phantom swayed, and its right bone claw once again reached out like a dragon, trying to grab Fang Shu and kill him in one blow.

This scene was completely different from the initial impressive move; even the secret realm was drawn into a flurry of lightning.

Fang Shu noticed this and his eyelids twitched.

Having witnessed the power of this bony arm, he naturally had no desire to continue confronting this fiend head-on.

With a light touch of his toes, he floated back ten feet like a willow catkin.

The leaping spell was cast in time, and his body vanished into thin air in an instant. Boom!

The enormous skeletal phantom slammed down with its claw, striking the hill once more.

This time, the hill wasn't just overturned; it was completely broken open, with rocks and soil flying everywhere.

Hui Yi, supported by the skeletal phantom, looked around at the empty surroundings and shouted sharply:
"Thief, please leave!"

He knew that Fang Shu had not fled far, but was merely using some kind of illusion to secretly observe him.

So the fang then wielded its bony arm and frantically pounded its surroundings, attempting to kill Fang Shu.

Although the attempt failed, the dust that flew everywhere revealed Fang Shu's hidden figure.

Hui Yi was overjoyed and immediately rushed forward, eager to fight Fang Shu to the death.

But when he pounced on Fang Shu, he found that Fang Shu's eyes were filled with mockery, and he no longer dodged.

"Fellow Daoist, are you still feeling alright?"

A light, whispered message reached Huiyi's ears.

Upon hearing this, Hui Yi suddenly realized something. His pupils contracted sharply, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.

He quickly looked down and glanced at the wound on his chest.

Even though he had immediately used his true energy to seal the wound and solidify the surrounding blood and qi after being injured, the skin and flesh there had turned a strange bluish-black color and was exuding an evil aura.

Deep within his skin, there were fine black lines, as thin as hair, that were undulating like snakes and worms along his blood vessels and meridians toward his heart and skull.

"Poisonous!" Hui Yi exclaimed in shock and anger.

He suddenly remembered the name of the flying nail magic weapon that Luo Fuyin had called out before she died.

Seven arrows with nail heads, each one insidious and deadly.

Moreover, Hui Yi soon discovered that the most troublesome aspect of this evil poison was not that it would damage his vital energy, but that it could subtly erode his mind.

He felt a throbbing pain in his temples, his vision blurred, and the scenery in front of him began to distort and overlap.

For example, Fang Shu's figure suddenly split into three illusory images in front of him, making it really difficult to distinguish them.

How can we possibly fight like this?!
"How hateful, how hateful..." Hui Yi bit his tongue hard, excruciating pain to gain a moment of clarity.

He quickly channeled his magic power to deflect another wave of nail-headed arrows. However, this channeling of magic power caused the evil poison within his body to rise even faster, further blurring his vision.

Fang Shu, on the other hand, moved like a ghost, constantly shifting around Hui Yi.

"Fellow Daoist's precious right hand seems to be a bit unruly."

Fang Shu chuckled, using words to distract the other party while his attacks became increasingly fierce.

The three nail-headed arrows transformed into dragons, specifically targeting Hui Yi's weakest points: his ribs, back of the neck, and soles of his feet. They did not aim to kill him instantly, but only to force him to circulate his magic power again, thus accelerating the onset of the poison.

Hui Yi was overwhelmed and overwhelmed with fear and anger.

He had intended to crush Fang Shu with overwhelming force, then find a place to seclude himself and expel the poison. But now, with each passing breath, his mind grew more hazy. The evil poison from the nail-headed arrow was like a bone-deep infection; if this dragged on any longer, let alone killing anyone, he would even have difficulty protecting himself.

In fact, in Fang Shu's opinion, this Fiend's performance was already quite remarkable, making him the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered.

Not only did this fellow not die after being hit by three nail-headed arrows, but he also managed to withstand the evil poison for so long, fighting him to a standstill.

"It seems that Huiyi not only possesses extraordinary treasures, but also has a very solid foundation. He is undoubtedly one of the best among these immortals," Fang Shu thought to himself.

But the more he did this, the stronger his murderous intent became.

Since such a proud person has been offended, it is only natural to eliminate him completely and prevent him from becoming a major threat in the future!
chap!
Another spiked arrow grazed past Hui Yi's ear, causing him to sway and momentarily lose consciousness.

"No... if we don't leave now, we'll really perish here." The beast's face was ferocious, and a ruthless glint flashed in its eyes.

He pounded his chest violently, spitting out another mouthful of blood. This blood was no longer bright red, but had an eerie purplish-black hue!
Boom! The skeletal phantom behind Hui Yi extended its claws again and pounced fiercely towards Fang Shu.

Taking advantage of the window where Fang Shu dodged, he decisively leaped away with great speed.

Furthermore, this fellow remained calm under pressure and immediately issued orders:

"Go! Stop him!"

With a crackling sound, nearly ten skeletons, transformed from the disciples of the Bone Temple, crawled or walked, and pounced on Fang Shu once again.

Once they got close to Fang Shu, they either flew out arms or jumped up with their skulls, no longer caring about any rules, just trying to buy themselves a little time.

"Trying to leave?"

Fang Shu's expression turned cold. He used the Armored Horse Talisman to withstand the attacks of the skeletons and relentlessly pursued Hui Yi from behind.

The two walked one in front of the other.

Just moments ago, Huiyi was so fierce that he caused the secret realm to change constantly, but now his back looked extremely panicked, like a stray dog.

When he realized Fang Shu was biting him tightly from behind, the man's expression changed, and he even cried out in surprise:
"You bastard, are you really going to wipe us out completely?!"

Fang Shu did not answer, but responded with flying nails.

With a clang, three more spiked arrows shot out, forcing Hui Yi in front to dodge hastily and lose his bearings.

The two chased and fled, creating quite a stir. In no time, they had caught up with the area near the exit of the secret realm, attracting the attention of many immortals passing by.

"Is that figure Hui Yi from the Dry Bones Temple?"

"It's Hui Yi? Didn't that kid obtain a treasure in the secret realm and greatly increase his magical power? Who's chasing him?"

Suddenly, a flurry of gazes turned to the two of them from the left and right.

When Huiyi saw these people, his expression changed, and he had the urge to call for help, but he suppressed this thought and did not want to delay any longer.

The beast, exerting all its strength, continued its charge towards the exit of the secret realm.

Before long, a formation exit the size of a small mountain appeared before their eyes. There were even immortals lingering around, forming a small market where they were exchanging items.

This place is only a few steps away from the exit. Even if a battle broke out, the immortals might not be able to kill each other. They would only force the other party to leave in a panic. Therefore, everyone was much more at ease near the exit.

Who is this?

"Interesting, interesting, so rushed."

More immortal gazes fell upon Hui Yi and Fang Shu, with some even shouting at Fang Shu:

“Fellow Daoist Wuna, stop now. The exit is right here. It’s too late.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Hui Yi, on the other hand, was overjoyed.

In a few breaths, he escaped to the exit of the secret realm, and various spiritual lights began to entwine around him, making him feel a force pulling him.

Hui Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and grinned maliciously at Fang Shu: "Fellow Daoist, until we meet again!"

But the next moment, the fang's pupils contracted.
