Journey to the West: Please Call Me the White Bone Demon

Now that his cultivation level had increased, Yun Zhao could smell a murderous aura coming from the air.

A figure emerged from the black wind on the horizon, graceful and beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom – who else could it be but the White Bone Demon?

She looked down at Yun Zhao, who had been startled by a strange sword intent and had hurriedly come out to check.

I thought he was a cultivator from the human world, but it turns out he's just a skeleton demon?

Although the White Bone Demon was not strong enough, her cultivation level was indeed at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal, and she saw through Yun Zhao's cultivation at a glance.

"Early stage of Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao?"

Her eyes flashed with disdain as she sneered, "A mere mortal demon at the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage dares to trespass on my White Tiger Ridge?"

In the White Bone Demon's eyes, this place was her training ground, and Yun Zhao's blatant display of swordsmanship here could be seen as a provocation, which was why she couldn't help but come out.

When they saw that the other party was just a minor demon at the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm, they were completely relieved.

She's a powerful demon at the Earth Immortal realm; dealing with a mere mortal demon would be a piece of cake.

"And who are you to claim this place as yours?"

Yun Zhao looked up, pretending not to know the White Bone Demon's identity, and spoke provocatively.

With his previous experience, he could have completely avoided the White Bone Demon's consciousness to use his swordsmanship.

But Yun Zhao did it on purpose.

Now that his cultivation has reached the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing with the Dao realm, and he has also obtained the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, his strength is vastly different from what it was before.

It is said that returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Since we are no longer afraid of the White Bone Demon, we should naturally show off our strength openly.

Moreover, although the Holy Spirit Sword Technique is wonderful, it still needs to be honed in actual combat to make continuous progress.

Practicing swordsmanship alone in these mountains in a rigid and monotonous manner would be too boring. If he had a sparring partner, his proficiency would increase rapidly.

Yun Zhao immediately thought of the White Bone Demon.

In these mountains, is there anyone more suitable than her?

Their strength is neither too high nor too low, just right within their acceptable range.

Even if you can't win, you can still escape; it's like a godsend whetstone.

That's why Yun Zhao openly used the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, intending to lure out the White Bone Demon so that she could fight him.

It seems we were indeed fooled.

There's no way around it; his strength is just too deceptive.

On the surface, he was only at the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao level, but the White Bone Demon was a whole realm higher than him, and she had even crossed from mortal to immortal. The gap between them could only be greater.

Anyone who comes here will only think of him as an easy target, and will not be afraid of a fight.

The White Bone Demon is exactly like that.

Although she is not known for her fighting skills.

But if their cultivation level alone can overwhelm the little demon in front of them, what is there to fear?

She was just wondering why there were other cultivators' auras on White Tiger Ridge.

Yun Zhao's words, however, ignited Bai Gu's anger.

"How dare you provoke me repeatedly! Do you think I'm made of clay?"

Having said that, her willow-leaf eyebrows shot up, and she transformed her palm into a claw, reaching out to grab Yun Zhao.

"What a strong, pungent smell."

Yun Zhao felt a chill run down his spine; he wondered how much blood this White Bone Demon had consumed.

Faced with that fierce claw, he drew out his ribs to make a sword. He had now reached the Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao realm, and even the bones in his body were much sharper and harder than ordinary swords, making them a perfect weapon.

He then unleashed the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

Clang!

The bone sword kept the White Bone Demon three feet away.

"Hmm? You do have some skill!"

The White Bone Demon thought she could easily kill Yun Zhao, but she didn't expect her attack to be easily blocked by him.

Realizing that Yun Zhao was no ordinary cultivator who had reached the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage, she became serious and immediately unleashed her demonic power, condensing a hundred-foot-long hand in the void, which pressed straight down on Yun Zhao.

Enveloped in black mist, Yun Zhao was greeted by a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"not good!"

In an instant, he realized he had been tricked and quickly focused his mind, unleashing the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"

A resounding dragon roar echoed across the sky.

The illusion dissipated, and the giant hand in the sky was only inches away from him.

Fortunately, at that moment, the bone sword in his hand immediately transformed into a blue dragon and crashed into that giant hand.

Boom!

Sand and stones flew all around.

Within a hundred meters of the two people, a deep pit appeared.

The giant hand in the sky vanished instantly, and the phantom of the azure dragon returned to dust.

"Ahem!"

Yun Zhao was sent flying back more than ten feet, but the White Bone Demon remained unmoved.

On the surface, he looked somewhat disheveled and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

But Yun Zhao was overjoyed.

"As expected, although the White Bone Demon is stronger than me, she's not as powerful as I imagined!"

At this moment, the White Bone Demon's heart was filled with even more turmoil.

"How is that possible!"

She looked at the slightly disheveled figure in disbelief.

How could a mere demon at the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm possibly block my way?

Even a cultivator at the early stage of Earth Immortal would suffer considerable injury from taking that attack head-on.

But the skeleton in front of her only coughed a few times and flew backward a distance. If this move hadn't instantly consumed 30% of her magic power, the White Bone Demon would have thought that she hadn't used any force.

"Again!"

In contrast, Yun Zhao was now filled with fighting spirit and charged towards her once again.

The White Bone Demon dared not think too much, and even when facing a mortal demon who had just reached the stage of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

The two fought fiercely, their momentum so great that the creatures on White Tiger Ridge scattered and fled.

Even so, anyone caught in the crossfire of their battle was either killed or wounded.

The more the White Bone Demon fought, the more terrified she became.

"He was using me as a whetstone?"

The swordsmanship of Yun Zhao before my eyes is becoming more and more exquisite and skillful.

At the beginning, although they took the initiative to fight her, they mostly just defended and were somewhat passive in the face of the White Bone Demon's offensive.

As time went on, Yun Zhao was able to fight her on equal terms, and if she wasn't careful, the White Bone Demon's clothes would be torn.

Later on, the roles of offense and defense shifted.

Is it reasonable that a powerful demon at the Earth Immortal realm was being suppressed and beaten by a mortal demon?

The White Bone Demon was utterly bewildered.

"Where did this monster come from?"

This moment of distraction was disastrous. Yun Zhao seized the opportunity, his sword flashing like a tiger descending from the mountain, and instantly pierced through the White Bone Demon's collarbone.

With a fierce cry, Yun Zhao pulled out another rib and firmly chained the White Bone Demon to a large tree.

"Are you convinced now?"

At this moment, the White Bone Demon's cultivation was locked, making her no different from an ordinary person.

Yun Zhao pinched her delicate face, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing.

"I...I give up."

In the world of demons, the strong are respected.

Being defeated by someone whose cultivation level was far weaker than hers, the White Bone Demon was completely convinced of her defeat.

Faced with Yun Zhao's question, he dared not harbor any resentment and nodded hastily.

"Hand over a wisp of your natal soul, and I'll spare your life!"

After exchanging blows with the White Bone Demon, Yun Zhao gained a better understanding of himself, and his swordsmanship proficiency improved significantly.

But they didn't want to let the other party off so easily.

At this critical moment, we need manpower. After all, the White Bone Demon is a powerful demon within a radius of hundreds of miles. If we can recruit her, it would be a great help!
