Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"what?"

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, noticing this change.

She had been worried that the "Blue Flame" was a disposable item, and that it would be completely depleted after slaying two or three Red Mist Beasts, so she needed to use it sparingly. But now it seemed... she had been worrying too much.

Since these red mists can be swallowed by the "green flames", these ferocious beasts in front of her are not only a threat to her, but also a bargaining chip for her to achieve "fighting to support fighting".

"Big White!"

Bai Yuan shouted again in his heart.

The white tiger under him understood what he meant, and opened a pair of huge bone wings behind him, flapping them suddenly. Then, it soared into the sky with a huge gust of wind, carrying the white kite to the sky, where another red mist beast was.

During this process, Bai Yuan raised her hand and swung her sword. The blue and red flames surged once more, forming a massive twenty-meter-long blade of light. Gripping it in her hand, she drew a vast arc in mid-air. Then, using the inertia of the arc, she slashed heavily at the ferocious red mist beast opposite her!

Swish——! !

As the white tiger flapped its wings and flew across the blood-red sky, the green and red intertwined flame blades drew a dazzling trajectory in the night sky.

The second red mist beast had no time to react before it was split diagonally in two by the sword energy. The dispersing mist was drawn into the sword's edge by the blue flames, and the flames suddenly surged another three feet, reaching a staggering length of thirty meters!

"really..."

Bai Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he looked up at the third ferocious beast.

Just as she was doing the same thing, swinging the Chixiao sword into the surrounding red fog and rushing towards the third ferocious beast with the force of burning the sky, the entire red fog suddenly floated violently, shrinking to form a vacuum area in the direction she was moving.

All the ferocious beasts around stopped attacking and retreated to a farther place. In the direction of the clock tower, the sea of ​​clouds was once again rolling, as if a huge shadow was appearing behind the fog.

"That is……"

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because of her cultivation limitations, her perception was significantly reduced, making it impossible for her to discern the situation behind the blood-red moonlight. However, a vague sense of crisis gripped her, and the white tiger beneath her blasted its fur, flying away from the clock tower at a speed even faster than before!

Hulonglong...

The red fog rolled up again, and those "ferocious beasts" abandoned their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. They chased after Bai Yuan one by one across the night sky, blocked her way, and pounced on her with a ferocious attitude.

Bai Yuan swung his thirty-meter-long sword and slashed repeatedly, while Bai Hu used all his strength to dodge and move in the air. At the moment when the man and the tiger were temporarily slowed down, a huge vortex emerged from the red fog in the direction of the clock tower, stirring up the fog of nearly a thousand meters around it, and it began to spin.

The ground right below Bai Yuan and Bai Hu suddenly cracked into a twisted crack, as if a prehistoric beast had opened its huge mouth towards the man and tiger in mid-air!

You can faintly hear the sound of gurgling water coming from that huge mouth!

"phantom?!"

"No, this is..."

Bai Yuan's pupils jumped, and he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Bai Hu's fur stood on end, and his bony wings trembled uncontrollably.

next moment.

An invisible giant palm emerged from the void, and the space shattered like a mirror. Half of the white tiger's bone wings turned into powder in an instant, and even Bai Yuan's forty-meter-long Qingyan Chixiao was torn into pieces by that strange force!

"boom--!!!"

A man and a tiger fell like meteorites!

At the last moment, the white tiger desperately flapped its remaining bony wings, avoiding the abyss's maw and crashing into the ruins of a house a few hundred meters away. During this process, countless starlights rose and violently vibrated around the man and the tiger. Nearly half of them dimmed or even went out, leaving only the remaining half still glowing.

More than a dozen red mist beasts of various appearances came like a tide.

But before they could pounce on Bai Yuan and Bai Hu, golden flames appeared on the surface of the Star Track Array, bursting out with blazing golden light, and pouring down like a rain of fire from the sky, hitting the four or five nearest red fog beasts and tearing their bodies apart!

——[Exquisite Heart Fire Array]!

This is the passive ability of [Exquisite Heart Clothes]. Without Bai Yuan himself calling it, it spontaneously emerged and burst out with amazing power!

Then, Bai Yuan forced himself to swing his sword, barely reaping some of the remaining red mist and replenishing the severely damaged blue flames. However, he was unable to recreate the awe-inspiring momentum of the forty-meter-long sword.

"Cough cough..."

Bai Yuan coughed softly a few times.

She undoubtedly looked rather disheveled. Not only were her clothes disheveled, but there were also several tears at the shoulders and waist of her gorgeous red gown. Her snow-white skin took on a dark red hue in the moonlight.

As for the White Tiger, it looked like it had just crawled out of a pool of blood, with most of its body covered in blood, especially the side where the bone wing was torn, which showed a huge tear. There was a faint black yin energy lingering around the wound, forming the shape of a black red spider lily, quietly blooming with a tiny amplitude.

——In this state, apart from anything else, the first thing is that it is definitely impossible to fly.

opposite.

In the violently rolling red fog.

The "shadow" that Bai Yuan had just noticed finally revealed its true form—

The first thing that catches your eye is nine huge bronze pillars.

Each pillar was engraved with twisted crying faces. Thick chains extended from the mouths of the crying faces, intertwining with each other and surrounding a simple-shaped circular platform in the middle, like a huge bronze throne.

Atop the circular platform sat a gigantic skeleton, a hundred feet tall. There was no trace of flesh left on the skeleton, save for a massive, pitch-black heart embedded in its chest and abdomen. This heart lay motionless, as if already dead.

just.

Inside the skeleton's empty eye sockets, two faint green ghost lights shone clearly.

With this movement, an oppressive feeling like a sea of ​​blood and corpses washed over them, causing both Bai Yuan and Bai Hu to gasp. The entire Cangwu County trembled slightly, and sticky black blood began to seep out of the streets, like snakes, curling towards Bai Yuan.

The star track array opened again, separating the bites of these "snakes".

However, after a long period of continuous fighting without the replenishment of star power - the moon in [Cangwu County] is not a real moon, so naturally there is no star power - the power of [Galaxy Fantasy Veil] has been greatly consumed.

Although resisting these "snakes" formed by black blood is no problem, if the thing on the Qingtong round platform attacks again...

It is hard to say whether it can be stopped.

After all, judging by the aura it had just displayed, its strength was definitely above the Spiritual Transformation Realm. This was completely different from the red mist "ferocious beasts" that had previously been defeated by White Tiger, whose strength was actually inferior to White Tiger and White Kite's, and who were only able to suppress them because their spiritual powers were suppressed.

Facing this skeletal giant, even if Bai Yuan was at his peak, it would be no easy task to deal with it, let alone in his current state of being severely suppressed and having his strength greatly reduced.

Boom——! !

The skeleton giant's heart seemed to beat.

Then, the red mist rolled up again, and the blood-red vortex that had just subsided also appeared.

“…Again?”

Bai Yuan frowned.

I watched as cracks appeared on the ground beneath my feet again.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and lightly touched her forehead with her fingertips. Then, a trace of green leaf veins appeared there, echoing the light golden leaf veins on her chest, and then stretched out like a thriving tree.

Click...

It was as if a lock was quietly opened inside Bai Yuan's body.

Then, a large amount of spiritual power emerged from her dantian, flowing along her meridians and throughout her limbs and bones.

During this process, Bai Yuan's body was enveloped in a hazy glow, and his aura began to rise steadily. From the initial state of being severely suppressed, almost at the level of Qi training, he quickly ascended to the foundation building stage, the golden elixir stage... and finally the Nascent Soul stage!

——"Qingmu Cangling Jue"!

This technique, originating from Ji Lingyun, seemed to possess a certain resistance to the rules of Cangwu County. Bai Yuan had previously been accumulating spiritual energy for several months, and now, unleashing it in one swift burst, she instantly advanced through the first to ninth Golden Core stages, ultimately advancing unstoppably into the Nascent Soul stage, where she remained at the third stage.

This is exactly the true level of cultivation that Bai Yuan can achieve without using a "reservoir" to store his strength!

Also.

When the light faded, Bai Yuan's body transformed into a tall, mature lady.

It was still the same oval face, with long eyebrows and a pair of eyes with crimson eyeshadow, looking up at the sky coldly with a disdainful look.

And in her hand, she was clearly holding a slender, white bone flute!

Chapter 140 The Yin soldiers killed the general!

After taking a deep breath.

Bai Yuan placed the flute in front of his lips, and his slender fingers fell on each hole, and he began to play gently.

——[Netherworld Bone Flute]

To be honest…

Bai Yuan actually didn't want to use this thing.

Although the [Netherworld Bone Flute] was the only one of all the magical instruments she currently possessed that was connected to the Yellow Springs, and a very close connection at that—after all, it was made of the throat bone of the Yellow Springs monster, and its ability was related to controlling life and death—theoretically, this place was actually its home turf.

but.

Precisely because the bone flute is related to the underworld, it may bring about some unpredictable changes that will make Bai Yuan himself unable to resolve the situation.

Ji Lingyun had warned her about this before. Although Ji Lingyun was not around at the moment, Bai Yuan could not ignore her words.

But now, there is no other way.

The white tiger was severely injured and lost the ability to fly, and could no longer carry her to fight in the sky;

Even if it were possible, the designated throwing opportunity for the [Exquisite Dice] had already been used up at the Jiang family's ancestral land. If Bai Yuan were to throw the dice again now, the result would be completely random among the remaining sides. Which side could be thrown out, and whether it would be effective against this skeleton giant...

It all depends on luck.

under these circumstances.

On the contrary, the chance of survival that [Netherworld Bone Flute] might bring seems to be more certain—

The main function of the bone flute is to resurrect corpses within a radius of ten miles.

Although the giant skeleton in the sky looked different from ordinary corpses and was a bit stronger than them, it was indeed a corpse. Therefore, in theory, it was within the range of the bone flute.

only……

Just as the dosage cannot be discussed without considering the poison's strength, Bai Yuan was not completely sure whether the bone flute could be effective against this awe-inspiring object, and to what extent it could be effective.

The sound of a flute was heard.

As the sound spread into the sky.

The skeleton giant on the bronze platform was obviously slow in movement for a moment.

The swirling red mist in the sky also froze for a moment. While it didn't stop completely, its rotation was noticeably slower than before. Consequently, the pressure on Bai Yuan and Bai Hu was also significantly reduced.

Even the crooked buildings around them seemed to be "awakened" by the sound of the bone flute. It seemed that some bones had been mixed into the formation of these things, but because they were wrapped in a black evil aura, they did not completely fall into the category of "corpses", so the impact on them was limited.

As for those black fog humanoids and red fog beasts, there is no need to say more.

Fortunately, they did not dare to stick their heads out at this time. They just hid far away and watched the confrontation between Bai Yuan and the skeleton giant.

For a while.

On the entire battlefield, it seemed as if Bai Yuan, with his own strength, was facing the terrifying skeleton giant from a distance, and was showing signs of not being at a disadvantage!

but……

All this is not without cost.

The price was that from the moment the Skeleton Giant's movements became sluggish, Bai Yuan felt her mental energy being drained away at an extremely fast speed. Then, through the body of the bone flute, it transformed into an invisible thread, connecting her and the Skeleton Giant.

For a moment, Bai Yuan felt as if she saw an endless sea of ​​corpses and blood rushing towards her. The aura of a thousand-year-old demon contained in it made her hair stand on end, and she almost lost control of the bone flute in her hand.

Fortunately, at the last second, Bai Yuan steadied his hands, gripped the bone flute tightly again, and continued playing.

She had encountered this situation before.

Because the [Netherworld Bone Flute] has the ability to control the resurrected corpses, and this control is achieved through the medium of mental power...so in theory it will indeed cause a continuous consumption of mental power, and the mental power consumed is proportional to the strength of the person being controlled.

In previous experiments, most of the people Bai Yuan controlled were ordinary people, and the few cultivators were all below the Jindan realm, so the consumption they caused was basically negligible.

The only relatively powerful corpse is Shentu Jialuo, who has the cultivation level of the ninth level of Nascent Soul. Bai Yuan has not tried to control it since he got it.

And now...

This was the first time she played the flute to an opponent who was stronger than herself.

"Is this guy... in the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"

"Or……"

Hmm...it shouldn't be Return to Void. Otherwise, [Netherworld Bone Flute] would most likely not even have this slight of an effect.

slam-la-

It only took a short moment.
