Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 97 Mysterious Bone Appears

A moment later, there was no sound in the hall.

"Brother Zhang, there's no one here! You're not talking nonsense!"

Hu Yue scanned the hall with her divine sense but found nothing unusual.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, I didn't detect anything unusual with my divine sense!"

Jin Qing spoke as well, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Brother Zhang, are you sensing something wrong? There are only Seven-Colored Lotuses here!"

Jianming slightly left the group, keeping a close eye on the Seven-Colored Lotus.

"Senior Brother Zhang, the rumors about the Xuan Bone are false. What is sealed here is the Seven-Colored Lotus."

After scanning with his divine sense, Shi Die confirmed the sound again.

"Please don't worry about the Seven-Colored Lotus for now. Pay attention to the right hand of that white jade skeleton. The water in this pool might be poisonous, so it's best to be careful."

Han Li quickly approached Zhang Feng and then spoke up to remind him.

Whoosh!

Without further ado, Zhang Feng thrust a black, terrifying dagger several feet long straight at the white jade skeleton hiding Xuan Gu.

"Hahaha, where did this junior come from? How dare he disturb my peaceful cultivation?"

A ghostly figure suddenly burst out from the white jade skeleton, then vanished without a trace into the hall wall in an instant.

"Who is it?"

After witnessing a spirit fly out, the crowd began to believe it and gathered together again.

Zhang Feng frowned, unable to sense the presence of the Xuan Bone with his divine sense, nor could he detect it with his Soul Sensing Technique.

Evil spirits were everywhere, clinging to the walls, the ground, and even the ruins.

It seemed as if there were ghostly figures everywhere, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing there at all.

Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed not to be underestimated.

"Heh heh, Seven-Colored Lotus, I'm taking it with me. You outnumber me, so I won't keep you company!"

Eerie, ghostly sounds echoed throughout the hall.

"Oh no, the Seven-Colored Lotus!"

Jianming exclaimed in surprise, turned around and flew straight towards the Seven-Colored Lotus, wanting to pick it ahead of time.

"idiot!"

Zhang Feng cursed angrily, and a flash of blue light appeared. A dark blue flying sword suddenly flew out and struck the Seven-Colored Lotus stalk before he could reach it.

"Roar~"

A serpent several meters long cried out in pain, bursting out of the pool and opening its huge mouth to bite Jianming who was approaching.

"What?"

Jianming stared in shock at the disappearing Seven-Colored Lotus, but the stench of the demonic snake was already upon him.

"You wretched creature, how dare you deceive me by turning it into a treasure!"

In an instant, Jianming regained his senses, his mind cleared, and he activated his protective aura.

Click!

The serpent's teeth rubbed violently against the spiritual energy shield.

As a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, Jian Ming faced some difficulties dealing with a level six demonic beast, but he was not about to be killed by a sneak attack.

"Old Jian, hang in there, I'm here to help you!"

Hu Yue shouted, and two flying blades, wrapped in azure spiritual light, shot out in a cross pattern.

"Hang in there, I'm coming too!"

Jin Qing followed suit, and a golden seal suddenly grew larger, trailing a long golden tail of flame as it crashed towards the demon snake.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng stopped paying attention to them.

Three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators are enough to deal with a level six mutated demon snake.

"Fellow Daoist Han, the ghostly mist and evil energy here are gradually accumulating, interfering with our thoughts and clouding our minds. Is there any way to clear it away?"

Zhang Feng asked, as he needed to keep a close eye on Xuan Gu's movements to prevent him from harming anyone.

As long as his side doesn't suffer any casualties, even if Xuan Gu possesses extraordinary abilities, he couldn't possibly face so many Core Formation cultivators at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Han Li did not hesitate and summoned three cyan talismans.

Call ~

A gentle breeze blew by, and the evil spirits dispelled the talisman, instantly dispersing the ghostly mist and revealing the hall's true appearance.

"Kid, you're quite clever, but unfortunately, your cultivation is too weak!"

"Let me show you what I'm capable of."

Suddenly, a ghostly howl echoed through the hall, and the surrounding walls began to move.

Countless skeletons and puppet-like ghosts roamed in mid-air.

The ground trembled slightly, tearing open cracks from which dark blue-green ghostly mist poured out.

"He used his body to refine the array; he transformed the entire island into an array!"

Shi Die gasped in surprise.

Zhang Feng's gaze sharpened slightly, no longer concealing it.

Twenty-four dark blue flying swords appeared simultaneously, each sword transforming into a spirit body several meters long.

Bang bang bang!

Twenty-four giant swords were thrust into the ground one after another, surrounding the group in the center.

"rise!"

Zhang Feng slightly raised his palms, and his extremely cold spiritual power erupted instantly, along with a large amount of ice flames.

Zizi!

In a short while, the entire hall was frozen by the cold air, the cracks were sealed, and the ghostly mist could not spread.

Skeletons and ghosts from the outside can only roam outside the sword formation.

The demonic serpent confronting Jin Qing was instantly frozen by the ice flames, and Hu Yue took the opportunity to cut off the serpent's head.

Jianming picked up the Demon Serpent Flower Crown, the Seven-Colored Lotus, which Zhang Feng had cut down, with a hint of regret.

"Alright, this place should indeed be the sealed place of that Xuan Gu Demon, just as Brother Zhang said."

"Let's gather quickly."

Jin Qing led the two of them and quickly gathered around Zhang Feng.

"The extreme cold power of the ten-thousand-year-old Xuan Jade, combined with some kind of ice flame... Kid, you've crafted a pretty good magic weapon!"

A ghostly figure appeared outside the sword formation, pointing at Zhang Feng and mocking him.

"Senior has keen insight, but I wonder how well you have progressed in your cultivation of the Ghost Path?"

Zhang Feng used his Soul Sensing Technique at full power, but the ghostly figure before him contained no spiritual power whatsoever; it was merely a skeleton puppet.

"Heh, junior, I was just wondering why you were able to sense the presence of ghosts."

"So it turns out they cultivated a Yin spirit-type technique."

"With your cultivation at the late stage of Core Formation and your practice of Yin Soul-type techniques, I'm somewhat fond of your body."

"Just hand over your body obediently!"

Xuan Gu snorted coldly, and countless skeleton puppets cried out as they broke free of the walls, rushing towards Zhang Feng's sword formation.

Click!Click!

As the bones struck the sword formation, before the two spiritual energies even collided, a ball of eerie blue flame had already climbed up the sword formation and attached itself to the skeleton horde.

The skeleton golems, like willow catkins ignited by fire, passed from the outside in, freezing and falling as they were frozen by the icy flames.

"Have you two found the key to the formation?"

Zhang Feng unleashed several sets of spells, once again activating the spiritual power of his flying sword to resist the erosion of the Xuan Bone Array.

"I can't find him. This person is also a master of formations. He himself is the core of the formation and is constantly wandering around the island."

"Even if they find it, it will be very difficult to defeat them!"

Shi Die's face was somewhat pale; these ghostly creatures were truly terrifying.

If Zhang Feng hadn't been in front of her, she probably would have been lost in the ghostly mist and ambushed by the demon.

"This kind of yin and evil mist is most afraid of extremely yang and strong things. This thing obtained from that strange man should be of some use."

Jin Qing said, holding a red scroll.

Zhang Feng glanced at it; it was a scroll containing a trace of the essence of the Fat Sun Bird.

He didn't take the item at the time because it was useless to the Xuan Bone, so he left it with the others.

"Give it a try!"

A glint of light flashed in Han Li's eyes. He would use this item to test the Xuan Bone's abilities and find out its true strength.

He also needed to consider whether to unleash the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder from his natal magic weapon.

Zhang Feng glanced at Han Li and nodded. He couldn't very well just tell Han Li to use the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

Wouldn't that delay their subsequent transaction?
