178: Lady Bone

Su Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at the tallest bone mountain in the distance.

"The coordinates on that scroll point in that direction."

"There's a city there, built from the skulls of countless living beings."

"A city?" Su Hongling carried her greatsword, her face full of excitement. "Where there's a city, there's good food! Although the bugs here look unappetizing, what if there are local specialties?"

"Let's go."

Su Lin didn't want to stay in this place full of eyeballs and tentacles for another second.

His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light, flying low above the ground.

His three disciple followed closely... In this world of chaotic Laws, flying was not easy.

But this group of people were all monsters.

Su Lin had the Law of Space protecting him, moving as easily as a fish in water.

Su Hongling was even more direct and brutal; no matter how gravity changed, she would charge through with greater force, creating a vacuum tunnel in the air with sparks and lightning all the way.

Luo Ximei and Chu Weiwei were two streaks of light, one black and one white, with Devilish Qi and poisonous mist intertwined. Wherever they passed, the flyingMythical Beasts that tried to ambush them fell.

Half an hour later.

A magnificent and ferocious city appeared on the horizon.

It was a colossal city built entirely from eerie white bones.

The city walls were a thousand zhang tall, entirely pieced together from thespine of some giant beast.

The city gate was an enormous skull, its gaping mouth serving as the entrance, with two wisps of eerie green Soul fire burning in its eye sockets, acting as illumination.

White Bone City.

Su Lin stopped ten li outside the city, looking at the city that exuded monstrous Death Qi.

"So ugly."

Su Hongling gave the most direct evaluation, "No aesthetic appeal at all, just like the skeletons the third Junior Sister refines medicine with."

"Second Senior Sister, please don't insult my aesthetics."

Chu Weiwei rolled her eyes. "My skeletons are all polished, ground, and perfumed with spices. How can they be compared to these, which reek of rotten flesh?"

"Someone's coming."

Luo Ximei suddenly spoke, a flash of light in her platinum-gold right eye as she looked towards the city gate.

They were not Human Race, but rather Undead Puppets refined through secret arts after the death of some humanoid creatures.

Each skeleton displayed a jade-like texture, covered in engraved curse runes.

The leading knight was exceptionally tall, riding a two-headed demonic wolf that was merely a skeleton.

In its hand, it held a bone Dragon spear three zhang long, its tip glinting with a chilling light.

"Living ones... halt."

A dry, hoarse voice, as if two bones were rubbing against each other, directly resounded in everyone's Sea of Consciousness.

It was a Soul-level tremor.

The White Bone General reined in its mount, its eye sockets, containing only two wisps of ghostly fire, gazing down at Su Lin and the other three.

In its perception, these four people had no Death Qi on them; instead, they exuded a dazzling, vigorous vital essence that it found extremely repulsive.

Especially that short person in red, whose blood Qi was like a sun ready to explode at any moment.

"Another batch of blood food coming to die?"

The White Bone General let out a disdainful snort.

In this world, Human Race were the lowest existence, livestock to be raised, delicious rations.

"Take them. Mince the men to feed the wolves, and the women... offer them to the City Lord as new bone sculptures."

It casually waved its Dragon spear.

Behind it, the squad of Skeleton Knights immediately charged, their hooves striking the ground not raising dust, but instead stirring up circles of grayish-white Death Qi ripples.

"Feed the wolves?"

Su Hongling raised an eyebrow, switching her greatsword, no edge, to her other hand, a malicious grin spreading across her lips.

"Old Man, it said it's going to mince you to feed the dogs."

Su Lin was expressionless, not even bothering to glance at the White Bone General, merely uttering a single word:

"Dismantle."

"Alright!"

Su Hongling agreed without hesitation.

The next instant, a red shadow flashed.

She didn't even use spiritual power, nor did she use her greatsword.

She was like a wild ox, directly charging towards the advancing Skeleton Knights!

"Boom!"

The foremost knight, man and horse, was directly shattered into a sky full of bone fragments.

"Too brittle!"

Su Hongling laughed heartily, her figure weaving through the knight group.

She reached out and grabbed the foreleg of a bone horse, using it as a weapon to violently swing at the nearby knights.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, that imposing Skeleton Knight regiment was reduced to a scattered pile of building blocks on the ground.

Only the White Bone General remained, sitting alone on its two-headed demonic wolf, the Soul fire in its eye sockets flickering violently, clearly not having reacted to what had happened.

"You..."

"You what you!"

Su Hongling had already appeared in front of its horse's head.

She reached out a hand and gently grasped the bone Dragon spear that was thrusting towards her.

"This thing, is it made of bone?"

She curiously squeezed it.

"Crack."

That Dragon spear, whose hardness was comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, shattered into powder like a crisp biscuit under her fingertips.

White Bone General: "..."

It wanted to retreat, to escape.

As a high-level Undead, it had already developed sentience. It knew that the red-clad human before it was an ancient Vicious Beast in human skin.

But Su Hongling didn't give it a chance.

"Get down, you!"

She grabbed the White Bone General'sspine, forcibly yanked it off the demonic wolf's back, then threw it down with a backhand.

"Boom!"

The White Bone General was slammed hard into the ground, its entire skeleton emitting a series of explosive cracks. Except for its skull, which was still relatively intact, the rest had basically turned to powder.

The two-headed demonic wolf was about to bite someone when Luo Ximei, who had caught up, kicked both its heads off.

"Useless."

Luo Ximei disdainfully flicked non-existent dust from her shoes. "Even a gatekeeper is so weak. This other world is nothing special."

"Don't be careless."

Su Lin walked up to the White Bone General, which was now just a head sticking out of the ground, still spewing Soul fire and curses.

"Ask for directions."

Chu Weiwei immediately came closer, holding the terrifying dark green small bottle in her hand.

"Revered Master, poison isn't very effective on these tough bones. We need corrosive liquid."

She smiled sweetly and poured a drop of purple liquid onto the White Bone General's skull.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

The jade-hard skull instantly emitted white smoke, letting out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Ahhh! Stop! Stop!"

"Tell us, where is the world core? Who is the City Lord of this city?"

Chu Weiwei's voice was gentle, but her actions were anything but. She poured another drop, this time burning directly through the skull and into the Soul fire within.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

The White Bone General collapsed. The pain of its Soul being corroded by strong acid was ten thousand times worse than death.

"It's in the inner city! The White Bone Palace! The City Lord is... Bone Madam! She is the ruler of this territory! The world core... I don't know what it is... but I've seen the Lady with a black heart in her hand that can devour the vitality of all things!"

The City Lord is... Bone Madam! She is the ruler of this territory! The world core... I don't know what it is... but I've seen the Lady with a black heart in her hand that can devour the vitality of all things!"

The City Lord is... Bone Madam! She is the ruler of this territory! The world core... I don't know what it is... but I've seen the Lady with a black heart in her hand that can devour the vitality of all things!"

"Black heart?"

Su Lin's eyes narrowed.

The core marked on the scroll map was also black.

"Lead the way."

Su Lin didn't waste words and directly stepped into the city.

Chu Weiwei grabbed the still-smoking skull and held it like a lantern.

"Point the way. If you point wrong, I'll throw you into the septic tank."

"Yes, yes, yes... go inside... straight ahead..."

The White Bone General was as docile as a grandson at this moment... Inside White Bone City.

The scene was even more horrifying than outside.

The buildings on both sides of the street were all constructed from the bones of various creatures.

The streetlights were skulls hanging on rib cages, and the ground was paved with polished leg bones.

But this was not a dead city.

The streets were bustling, filled with grotesquealien race.

There were winged lizardmen, festering zombies, and tentacle monsters.

They were trading at stalls on both sides of the street.

The goods were even more shocking: beating hearts, skinned creature young, and living Souls in bottles.

The appearance of Su Lin and his three disciple attracted everyone's attention.

The previously noisy street instantly fell silent.

Countless pairs of greedy and cruel eyes stared intently at these four seemingly tender-skinned Human Race.

"Humans?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such fresh humans..."

"That man's flesh must be tender..."

"That red-clad one's blood Qi is so vigorous..."

Whispers came from all directions, carrying undisguised malice.

"Revered Master."

Luo Ximei frowned slightly; the feeling of being stared at like food made her extremely uncomfortable.

"The gazes of these trash make me want to slaughter this city."

Her black-gold flowing cloud dress moved without wind, and the black and white Devilish Qi vaguely stretched out her own Domain in this world full of stagnant Laws.

"Don't rush."

Su Lin looked straight ahead, as if walking in his own backyard.

"Someone will act for us."

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Roar!"

A gigantic, spiky Ogre couldn't hold back. It brandished its huge mace, drooling as it charged towards the seemingly weakest Chu Weiwei.

"Little hussy! Be my snack!"

Chu Weiwei didn't even lift an eyelid.

She merely gently shook the skull she was holding.

"Point the way."

Then, she casually waved her other hand backward.

A large basin of colorless, odorless powder was scattered.

The Ogre, halfway through its charge, suddenly froze.

Immediately after, its body began to melt like a candle.

Skin, flesh, internal organs, bones... In just three breaths, it turned into a puddle of colorful liquid, flowing along the bone-paved street, still bubbling eerily.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The surroundingalien race, who had been eager to move, instantly became like ducks whose necks had been squeezed, all their greed turning into extreme terror.

They retreated in horror, clearing a wide path.

"Let's go."

Su Lin's steps did not falter.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak to the extreme, reasoning was useless.

Only absolute violence was thePass token.

The group thus swaggered through the outer city, and wherever they passed, thealien race scattered, as if demons had descended... Inner city, White Bone Imperial Palace.

This was a magnificent palace built entirely from the skeleton of a giant Dragon, exuding ancient Dragon might.

But in front of Su Hongling, this Dragon might was like a joke.

"Is this the lair of that Bone Madam?"

Su Hongling plunged her greatsword into the ground, looking at the tightly shut gate, pieced together from countless delicate finger bones.

"What disgusting aesthetics."

"Should we knock?" Luo Ximei asked, although she was already charging up to blast the door open.

"No need."

Su Lin shook his head.

He looked up at the highest point of the palace.

There, an extremely powerful Aura was awakening.

Although that Aura was not as strong as the five Mahayana Stage commanders who had burned their Origin before, it had definitely reached the Early Stage of Mahayana.

Moreover, it exuded an extremely eerie chill.

"Distinguished guests have arrived, why not come in for a chat?"

A voice, charming to the bone yet carrying a chilling coldness, came from deep within the palace.

"Creak—"

The finger-bone gate automatically slid open to both sides.

Revealing a long corridor paved with a crimson carpet.

On both sides of the corridor stood two rows of beautiful maids in light gauze.

But upon closer inspection, one would find that these maids had no flesh and blood beneath their skin, only white bones. They were Painted Skin Bone Spirits.

"Playing tricks."

Luo Ximei snorted coldly and stepped in first.

Su Lin followed closely.

Passing through the corridor, they entered a massive White Bone Grand Hall.

In the center of the grand hall was a throne piled high with countless skulls.

On the throne, a woman reclined.

She wore a set of ghastly white bone armor, but the armor was designed to be extremely revealing, only covering key areas, exposing large expanses of skin as pale as paper.

She had an extremely beautiful face, with charm in every glance and curve of her brows, and held a high-stemmed bone cup in her hand.

"Oh my, I never expected the Human Race in this land ofExtinction to have such a handsome Young Master."

Bone Madam put down her wine cup, her pair of eerie green eyes circling Su Lin before settling on his face, her tongue lightly licking her red lips.

"He's a hundred times better than the three thousand male consorts I keep in my palace."

"How dare you!"

"Presumptuous!"

Two sharp shouts rang out simultaneously.

Luo Ximei and Chu Weiwei both bristled at the same time.

This seductive hussy actually dared to covet their Revered Master?!

And compare him to those three thousand pieces of trash?!

"Old hag! I think you're tired of living!"

Luo Ximei's Devilish Qi erupted, her black hair instantly lengthened, and her platinum-gold right eye locked onto the woman on the throne.

"If you want to die, this Venerable will grant it!"

"Don't be so hasty, little sister."

Bone Madam giggled, not taking Luo Ximei's threat seriously at all.

She casually hooked a finger.

From the shadows around the grand hall, dozens of powerful figures suddenly emerged.

Each exuded the Aura of the Body Integration Peak.

They were her Imperial Guards, all high-level Undead creatures.

"When you're on big sister's territory, you follow big sister's rules."

Bone Madam sat up straight, her gaze playfully watching Su Lin.

"Young Master, how about we make a deal?"

"You give me these three fierce little girls to use as flower fertilizer, and you stay here as my bedmate."

"As long as you serve big sister well, I'll give you half of White Bone City, how about it?"

Su Lin looked at her, his eyes as calm as stagnant water.

He didn't answer, but instead asked a question:

"The world core, is it in your hands?"

Bone Madam was startled for a moment, then laughed even more merrily.

"So Young Master came for that little trinket?"
