“Your Bone Sect has a notorious reputation, so you think you can cover up everything and monopolize all opportunities? Do you really think that we cultivators from all sects are just ants that you can manipulate at will!”
Following closely behind, the leading experts from several second-rate sects, such as the Xuanling Ancient Sect and the Qingxiao Sword Sect, stepped forward together, their spiritual power surging and their fighting spirit awe-inspiring. They formed a temporary battle line, facing the pressure from the Kugu Sect head-on without backing down.
“That’s right! Opportunities have arisen, and everyone can compete for them! Why should you have them all to yourself?”
“Although the Bone Sect is strong, it may not be able to subdue everyone with one hand! If a war really breaks out, your Bone Sect will also have to pay a bloody price!”
“Want to gain something for nothing, or steal treasure without any effort? That’s wishful thinking!”
The pent-up greed and discontent of various forces erupted instantly.
Everyone had come for the treasure, their hearts filled with the hope of a heaven-defying opportunity, and none of them were willing to back down easily.
Previously, they had been wary of the infamous reputation of the Dry Bone Sect and had only temporarily held back. Now, being forced into a corner by the other party’s arrogance, their pent-up emotions have finally erupted.
Furthermore, with dozens of forces and thousands of cultivators present, they are numerous and powerful, and are not necessarily afraid of a mere small team from the Dry Bone Sect!
Why should everyone risk their lives to enter the Dao Ruins and brave countless dangers, only to have the treasure given away to the Dry Bone Ashes for nothing?
Nobody wants to suffer a loss!
“Stubborn and obstinate! They’re courting death!”
Withered Bones’ eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his face instantly turned gloomy and chilling. His previous pretense of being refined was completely shattered, revealing his sinister and domineering nature. “Since you all insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish!”
“Let’s do it!”
At his command, seven or eight core elites of the Dry Bone Sect instantly sprang into action!
A dark, deathly aura surged into the sky, and stark white bone patterns filled the void. The chilling power of soul devouring instantly spread out, specifically targeting and crushing the cultivators of various sects.
The disciples of the Dry Bone Sect are ruthless and vicious, and their attacks are always deadly. Their bone blades pierce the air and their death energy devours souls, making each move fatal!
“Kill! Seize the treasure!”
In an instant, the core area of the treasure was completely turned into a brutal battlefield!
Spiritual energy roared, spells exploded, bones flew, and blood splattered in the void.
Cultivators from various sects launched a desperate counterattack and fought bloody battles. All sorts of spells and spiritual lights collided in the sky, and the originally orderly airspace was instantly covered by the flames of war.
Some charged forward desperately to seize the location of the treasure, some engaged in close-quarters combat to the death, and some launched surprise attacks to reap the benefits. Chaos reigned and murderous intent was palpable.
Although the number of people in the Dry Bone Sect was small, each of them was an elite of the sixth rank or above Immortal Lord, with fierce combat power and insidious methods.
In addition, the Bone Path Secret Technique is effective against ordinary spiritual cultivators, allowing them to overwhelm the enemy with fewer troops and slaughter everyone around them. They forcefully broke through the chaos and gained an absolute advantage, suppressing the major sects and causing them to suffer heavy casualties.
The screams of agony, the roars of despair, and the booming of spells were endless. In just a few dozen breaths, the center of the battlefield was a river of blood and littered with corpses, with countless cultivators falling.
On the periphery, the group from Wanfa Tiangong stood quietly, observing the entire process with indifference, without intervening, getting involved, or getting involved in the slightest conflict.
The two white-haired elders had completely given up the idea of fighting over it, and were filled with relief.
If Chen Ping hadn’t intervened in time, they would have already led their team into the chaos, plunging into this endless melee.
At that time, we will be attacked from both sides, and will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and lose more than we gain.
Thinking of this, the two elders subconsciously looked at Chen Ping at the end of the line, their eyes filled with surprise and admiration.
This young man may seem timid and cowardly with low cultivation, but his vision, temperament, and judgment of the situation far surpass those of other prodigies, and he is even comparable to these veteran elders, which is truly rare.
Su Qingyuan also glanced sideways, her peripheral vision sweeping over the boy beside her who was feigning timidity and silently watching the show. A faint hint of appreciation flashed in her cool eyes.
She increasingly felt that this rogue cultivator named Chen Ping, who seemed ordinary, humble, timid and cowardly, was actually insightful and calm, and could always see the advantages and disadvantages and see through the mystery at critical moments.
Meanwhile, Chen Ping, the person involved, was watching the drama unfold with a bewildered expression, thoroughly enjoying himself.
His mouth was slightly open, his eyes showing just the right amount of fear and astonishment.
He seemed frightened by the brutal fighting scene before him, but in reality, he was extremely calm and silently reviewed the entire situation.
