Li Yao felt that he was seeing stars. He felt that something was going on in his throat, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, but the two parties had switched roles.
In the past, he had been hunted by strong enemies and had to set up a lot of traps in order to escape. But today, he was the one hunting someone else, and an expert of the demon race such as Wang Ji could only flee like a rat and struggle with the bombs and traps under his pressure.
'I was too careless. I thought that I was invincible with the Ares Extension. I didn't expect that Wang Ji would be so cunning, too!
'As a bomb expert, I was dizzy because of the enemy's explosion. I've really failed miserably this time! '
Li Yao frowned. He had analyzed the situation immediately. The power of the explosion was astonishing. If the location of the explosion was right, it would have been enough to flatten the undersea town.
The Ares Extension was a one-time consumable in the first place. After the bombardment of the blast, one component after another lost its power and fell off the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, swirling and falling to the bottom of the ocean.
Li Yao's clothes immediately became ragged. He was no longer as glamorous as before.
What he was more worried about was the situation in Skeleton Dragon's residence.
'This idiot … He shouldn't have played with bombs if he didn't know how to play with them! '
Li Yao gritted his teeth, his eyebrows almost touching each other. He had never foreseen that Wang Ji would be so insane as to open Skeleton Dragon's residence in such a violent way.
"Haha. Vulture Li Yao, you didn't see this coming, did you? I've learned a lot from you after being defeated by you, too! Explosive magical equipment is your favorite. What do you think? Not bad, right? "
Wang Ji's arrogant laughter came over from the undercurrent of chaos. "Now, your Ares Extension is gone. Your Ares Set has lost its effect. How are you going to fight me? "
Li Yao's eyes were glittering. He completely ignored Wang Ji's provocation. He scanned the undersea town with his telepathic thoughts.
Half of the undersea town had been razed to the ground. The seabed was full of bumps and hollows as if it had been bombarded by a meteor shower for three days and three nights.
Wang Ji was standing in front of Skeleton Dragon's residence. He was arrogant.
Li Yao's heart trembled as he observed Skeleton Dragon's residence carefully.
Dense spiritual stripes and rune arrays had been carved on the outside of the cone-shaped building, but they were in two completely different styles that were incompatible with each other.
One of the spirit tattoos and rune arrays was crude, simple, and crooked, as if they had been dug out by the claws and teeth of a wild beast. They were filled with a ferocious and bloodthirsty aura. Just one look at it was enough to make one shudder.
The other, however, was upright and full of a shocking righteousness.
The two kinds of spiritual stripes and rune arrays were like two armies of different styles that were entangled and killing each other!
However, in the violent explosion, a large amount of rubble fell from the outside of the conical building. The spiritual tattoos and rune arrays of the two styles were all mottled. Many of them had been destroyed!
"Not good!"
Li Yao's heart was beating wildly. On the surface of the conical building, he discovered a crack that was more than half a meter long and thinner than a hair!
"This crack. Was it originally here, or was it just blown out? Did it infiltrate into Skeleton Dragon's residence? "
Cold sweat was popping up on Li Yao's forehead. He stared at the crack without blinking.
The crack that was thinner than a hair seemed to be alive. It was growing, splitting, and spreading like a mycelium. Very soon, it had expanded to more than ten square meters outside of Skeleton Dragon's residence. A dense spider web of cracks was formed!
"Go away!
"Get out of Skeleton Dragon's residence now!"
Li Yao summoned his spiritual energy and bellowed. His voice turned into an intense vibration in the seawater, mixed with the momentum of wind and thunder. It was rolling toward Wang Ji.
Wang Ji's face changed. He was so angry that he was laughing.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Vulture Li Yao, without the Ares Extension, your capability is on par with mine at best. Do you think that you are sure of your victory?
"I swear a blood oath in front of a hundred and eight thousand demons that, as long as I am not killed this time, I will fight you until you beg for death."
Before he finished his words, a weird force leaked out of the gaps of the spider webs on the ceiling of Skeleton Dragon's residence and interrupted Wang Ji's blood oath.
LUM DUM!
Li Yao suddenly heard the clear sound of a 'heartbeat' deep inside his brain.
It was a very weird feeling. The sound seemed to be coming from the depths of Skeleton Dragon's residence, but it completely ignored the blockage of the silver ocean and exploded inside Li Yao's head.
In the meantime, somebody seemed to be grabbing his heart and squeezing it hard, only to be loosened abruptly. He couldn't have felt more uncomfortable.
LUM DUM! LUM DUM!
The heartbeat sounded like dull drumbeats, neither too fast nor too slow. The frequency was higher and higher, and the sound was louder and louder.
In only a few seconds, the heartbeat had turned into a storm, raising surging tides inside Li Yao's brain and chest!
Li Yao felt that his head was splitting. His eyes were bloodshot. Bloody pictures seemed to be playing in front of his eyes.
He seemed to see countless Cultivators and ordinary people screaming in the burning flames in the world of Cultivators tens of thousands of years ago.
Many Cultivators were flying on their swords and fighting against the demons.
However, a weird breeze blew over. The flesh and blood of the ordinary people, Cultivators, and demons were all corroded and turned into white bones.
A moment later, the bones stood up on their own and assembled into the most hideous slaughter puppets, which spread out in all directions like a swarm of locusts!
"This is …"
Li Yao bit the tip of his tongue and shook his head hard. He managed to wake up from the illusion, only to discover that his back was soaked in sweat. His brain seemed to have been emptied. He couldn't have felt more empty!
Wang Ji's yelling came to an abrupt end. He floated in the seawater in a daze like a puppet whose strings had been cut off. Cracking noises echoed inside the black biochemical beast's body. All the joints were breaking apart. The head, the limbs, and the broken tail were all twisted in the opposite direction, twitching and cramping, while it charged at Skeleton Dragon's residence in the most rigid posture.
"BOOM!"
Wang Ji crashed into Skeleton Dragon's residence right in the middle of the spider web crack!
The crack immediately expanded, revealing the dark interior of the residence.
For some reason, Li Yao felt that thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him from the depths of the dark residence. They pierced through his Crystal Suit, his flesh, and all the way to his bone marrow.
Wang Ji was not woken up by the excruciating pain until this moment. He waved his hands and feet and struggled violently. He let out a terrified roar.
It was as if he was fighting against an invisible enemy, desperately trying to escape, but he was sucked back again and again, smashing heavily into the crack.
Li Yao activated his crystal cameras to the maximum and managed to see that countless transparent tentacles were wriggling, pulling, and corrupting the black biochemical beast. He tore through the shell and flesh and drilled in to attack Wang Ji's body!
At last
After almost ten collisions, the widest part of the crack was more than two meters long. It was like a giant mouth that sucked Wang Ji together with his biochemical beast into Skeleton Dragon's residence!
"Kacha kacha!"
"Chiliu chiliu!"
Creak! Creak!
From that pitch-black gap came a scalp-numbing sound. The sound of his legs being sore and powerless pierced into the depths of Li Yao's brain like red-hot steel needles.
Wang Ji let out a heart-rending scream. He did not sound like an expert of the demon race at all, but more like a pig that had been skinned but was not dead yet!
The miserable screams gradually turned into feeble moans, which then turned into intermittent moans. In the end, they turned into feeble whimpers.
A scent that was even more dangerous was getting denser and denser, as if an invisible devil was whispering behind his ear.
"Shua!"
Li Yao felt that his heart had been stabbed by a needle. His hair stood up. He blinked. The Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber rushed out.
In the seemingly empty sea water, he had actually cut into an incomparably sturdy object!
Li Yao summoned all his telepathic thoughts. He observed carefully and found that it was a weird creature that looked like the tentacles of a jellyfish, except that it was multiple times thicker and was swimming agilely.
It seemed to be as soft as water, but it was extremely tenacious. The aura of more than ten meters long triggered by the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber could only cut half of the tentacle. The tentacle was not affected at all. Instead, it crawled up along the body of the saber.
Wang Ji's screams were still echoing in his ears. Li Yao did not dare to fight the weird tentacle head-on. He hurried to withdraw his saber and retreat.
The tentacle did not chase after him but retreated into the gap. Then, an ear-splitting shriek burst out from the depths of Skeleton Dragon's residence, which exploded inside everyone's brain at the same time like countless crystal bombs!
The Cultivators and demons who were fighting on the battlefield not far away were all awed by the shriek. They were as stiff as puppets for a moment.
"What is that?"
"What a powerful aura!"
"Demonic energy. It's extremely intense demonic energy!"
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "
The shriek meant that the deadly demon from forty thousand years ago had been completely awakened. Deafening collisions echoed from the depths of Skeleton Dragon's residence. The soundwaves raised turbulence in the silver ocean. For a moment, the tides were surging and the ground was shaking!
The other twelve Cultivators sensed that a great demon was about to arrive, too. They all rushed to the top of Skeleton Dragon's residence!
"BOOM!"
After a deafening crash, the upper half of the cone-shaped building was completely blown apart.
The dirty seawater gradually dispersed. A terrifying shadow more than thirty meters long slowly unfolded itself.
As its name suggested, Skeleton Dragon's body was made of countless bones that were emitting bright silver brilliance. Its main body was like a giant egg, but the bones that made up its body were messy. If one were to observe more carefully, they would notice that the features of all kinds of creatures were on them, as if the bones of countless species had been jumbled together.
Around the egg-shaped body, nine tentacles made of bones extended out. At the front of each tentacle was a skull of a different species. They were all opening their bloody mouths, which made them look like hydras in the primeval behemoths, except that they were even more hideous and hideous.
The empty bones were filled with soft tissues that looked like jellyfish. Like a cluster of shivering jelly, they were protected by the bones and emitted translucent brilliance.
The jelly was in a half-frozen state. It flowed to the nine tentacles slowly and controlled every bone delicately.
At the center of the round body, in the deepest part of the jelly, a cluster of brilliance that was as red as blood was soaking in it. It was expanding and shrinking, beating like a human heart.
Skeleton Dragon, the deadly demon that had slept for forty thousand years, had finally broken the barrier and returned to the human world! — —
On the ranking of monthly votes, he was ranked seventh. There were still more than a hundred votes between him and those in front of him.
As a matter of fact, he was quite touched, because he had been ranked tenth at the beginning of the month, and his votes had been overwhelming.
Now that there were only three days left, I would like to ask for more monthly votes, hoping to make it to the top six. To be honest, it was not just an honor but also a reward, which could increase the income of his family by a few hundred to a thousand, so that he could buy more things for his wife and son.
Of course, even if I couldn't make it to the top, I would still be grateful to all of you. After all, the update speed was really not very fast. I knew that, too. Therefore, I was too embarrassed to ask for votes every now and then.
