343: Chapter 343 Ye Xuantu's Little Thoughts

"Hahahaha!"

The Master of Tianshi Valley laughed loudly, his eyes cold and sinister: "I was wondering why an old hag like you dared to come to my Tianshi Valley to act so recklessly. So, you found two Mahayana Stage helpers from somewhere. Do you really think the three of you can destroy my Tianshi Valley? It is truly laughable!"

"With just the three of you pieces of trash, there is no need for the Holy Mother of the Blood Lotus to act. This Venerable One alone can slaughter you all!"

The Master of Tianshi Valley was extremely arrogant and overbearing; even facing three Mahayana Stage powerhouses, he was completely unafraid!

"Presumptuous!"

Ye Xuantu's expression changed abruptly: "You can insult me, but how dare you show disrespect to Senior!!"

"Enough, stop the act."

Ji Taichang raised his hand, stopping Ye Xuantu's performance.

This woman was merely trying to incite a conflict between Tianshi Valley and Ji Taichang, hoping to use Ji Taichang's hand to wipe out Tianshi Valley!

Such a small scheme could not deceive Ji Taichang's eyes.

"Wanting to use this Seat's hand to deal with Tianshi Valley, you certainly have a good plan."

Ji Taichang stared into Ye Xuantu's eyes with a look that was not quite a smile.

"Please forgive me, Senior!!"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Ye Xuantu's forehead. In her mind, she instantly recalled the unprecedented sense of life-and-death crisis when Ji Taichang had gripped her throat earlier, as well as his unfathomable, terrifying strength.

She hurriedly knelt before Ji Taichang with a "thump," her voice trembling: "This servant should not have used Senior. This servant deserves to die ten thousand deaths; I beg Senior to punish me!!"

This scene left the Demonic Cultivators of Tianshi Valley stunned, expressions of disbelief appearing in their eyes.

"What is this old hag doing?"

"The dignified Palace Master of Youluo Nether Palace, a Seventh-Level Mahayana Stage powerhouse, actually kneeling to beg for mercy from someone in public?!"

"Could it be that this pretty boy is a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? You might not even find one Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert in the entire Northern Desert Region. How could Youluo Nether Palace possibly hire someone of that level?"

"Exactly. I think this is just a play directed and acted by that old hag Ye Xuantu, trying to scare us."

"Playing god and acting like a ghost!"

The Demonic Cultivators of Tianshi Valley discussed among themselves, their eyes still full of disdain; they did not take Ye Xuantu and Ji Taichang seriously at all.

Ji Taichang ignored them and looked at Ye Xuantu, saying indifferently: "Since you want to deal with Tianshi Valley, take the lead."

Although Ji Taichang intended to plunder Tianshi Valley regardless, this did not mean he could be used and schemed against by Ye Xuantu!

"Yes!"

Ye Xuantu felt a sense of relief in her heart; she quickly climbed up and charged toward Tianshi Valley first!

She formed seals with both hands, activating several Demonic Weapon items of the Demonic Path. Rolling purple-black Evil Qi surged around her body; cold winds howled, and ghost Qi swirled.

With a wave of her slender hands in the Void Realm, she instantly outlined several mysterious blood-colored curse patterns with her fingertips. The Evil Qi in the sky condensed accordingly, transforming into one Nether Curse Claw after another. The bones were stark white, the claws gleamed with cold, chilling light, and they slammed toward the Protective Sect Array of Tianshi Valley with enough force to tear the heavens and earth.

Boom—

Spiritual light soared into the sky. The entire Protective Sect Array instantly transformed into a dazzling blood-red light screen, with array patterns crisscrossing like mountains and rivers, condensing a thick and majestic defensive power.

The Curse Claws slammed into the light screen, emitting a deafening roar. Ripples of spiritual light exploded in layers, causing sand and stones in the surrounding mountains and forests to fly, and deep cracks to open in the ground.

Although Ye Xuantu was most skilled in curses, as a Seventh-Level Mahayana Stage powerhouse, her frontal combat strength was not weak.

Coupled with her intimate knowledge of the weak points of the Tianshi Valley Protective Sect Array.

After only a few attacks, many array patterns and runes were worn away, causing the Protective Sect Array to flicker and begin to shake violently.

"How bold!!"

Seeing that Ye Xuantu was serious, the Master of Tianshi Valley's expression turned cold instantly!

He immediately formed seals with both hands, chanted incantations, and cold, terrifying Devilish Qi rose around his body.

Thump!!

As the Master of Tianshi Valley cast his spell, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, the fissures spreading like a spiderweb for thousands of miles. A dull and terrifying sound of bone friction echoed from deep underground.

Several towering mountains around the gate of Tianshi Valley twisted and shook violently; rocks crumbled, strata split, and skeletons buried deep underground broke through the soil—tens of thousands of them, all surging into the sky.

Accompanied by continuous, hair-raising "crack" sounds.

The dense skeletons piled up like mountains, with spines forming beams and ribs forming armor, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-long Bone Dragon.

The Bone Dragon was pale and cold throughout, with sharp bone spikes. Ghostly blood-colored ghost fire ignited in its hollow eye sockets. Its Dragon roar shook the surroundings, carrying the ancient corpse Evil Qi and monstrous Demonic Path ferocity, circling the sky and locking onto Ye Xuantu.

This was a Demonic Weapon of the Demonic Path that Tianshi Valley had spent hundreds of thousands of years collecting the remains of countless powerful Cultivators, Yao Beasts, and Vicious Beasts to refine. It possessed boundless ferocity and terrifying power.

The Bone Dragon's giant claws slapped down, whipping up a sky full of fishy wind and Death Qi, carrying the force of crushing mountains and rivers as it lunged straight at Ye Xuantu.

Ye Xuantu's expression changed slightly; she hurriedly utilized her Divine Ability. The purple-black Evil Qi around her transformed into layers of Nether barriers, countless resentful spirit phantoms circled her body, and curse seals flew across the sky, bombarding the Bone Dragon's body.

However, the bone Demonic Weapon was a dead object; it was completely unfazed by the curse erosion, and its bone armor was indestructible.

Its Dragon tail swept across, bone blades cutting through the air, every strike carrying the power to collapse mountains and split the earth, forcing Ye Xuantu to retreat repeatedly.

Ye Xuantu's curses landed on the Bone Dragon, only sparking sporadic flames; they could hardly damage its core.

And every time the Bone Dragon lunged, whipped its tail, or roared, massive corpse Evil Qi broke through her curse screen, shaking her until her Qi and blood surged and her face turned pale.

After only a few rounds, Ye Xuantu was suppressed and forced into a disadvantage, able only to defend passively and dodge in a sorry state.

"Nothing more than this!!"

Seeing this, the Master of Tianshi Valley felt settled, suddenly filled with confidence.

He had thought that since Ye Xuantu came to attack Tianshi Valley openly, she would have some powerful and terrifying trump card; he hadn't expected there to be none at all!

"Cough, cough..."

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Ye Xuantu's mouth. She wanted to ask for help, but when she turned back, she saw Ji Taichang wearing a look that was not quite a smile, watching coldly from the sidelines with no intention of making a move.

Ye Xuantu's heart skipped a beat; she instantly understood that her little trick of pretending to be weak had long since been seen through.

Gritting her silver teeth, she stopped hiding her strength and immediately unleashed a secret technique of the Demonic Path. At the cost of burning her essence blood, she instantly erupted to her Peak combat strength, and the Evil Qi surged several times over.

"Curse locks a thousand skeletons, threads bind ten thousand bones!"

"Nether as a cage, Evil Qi as a binding!"

As Ye Xuantu chanted the incantation.

In an instant.

The rolling purple-black Evil Qi was ignited by the flames of essence blood, transforming into Evil Qi mist with scarlet patterns, churning and swirling, while countless shrill, resentful spirit phantoms floated and roared within it.

Her hand seals changed, becoming increasingly complex and profound.

Dense blood-colored curse patterns appeared out of thin air in the Void Realm, layered and intertwined, instantly forming a massive magic array that enveloped the ten-thousand-foot Bone Dragon on the spot.

Countless Evil Qi transformed into pitch-black chains, surging from all directions and piercing into the Bone Dragon's body.
