Chapter 159: Skeleton Corps

Demon Realm

Ye Beiming sat above the main hall, exuding low air pressure all over his body, and his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and a discerning person could see at a glance that he was in a very unhappy mood.

The twelve envoys and the four protectors stood respectfully below, not daring to breathe, eager to bury their heads in their chests, always feeling the cold around them, a chill rushed straight to their heads from the soles of their feet, and fine beads of sweat were oozing from their foreheads, but no one dared to reach out to wipe them.

"It's been months, and that's the news you've brought back?" Yebei asked coldly.

"Back to ...... Back to the Demon Lord, that Demon Slayer is too cunning, and every time we find it, it is his clone. Qingchen replied cautiously, for fear that the Demon Lord would not be satisfied and throw him into the Nine Shadows Abyss.

"Another doppelganger!" Ye Beiming's voice was still cold, and with a slight pinch of his five fingers, the teacup in his hand instantly turned into powder.

Ye Beiming thought that the Demon Killer actually had crooked thoughts about her Long'er, and the last time the Demon Killer Heaven also captured Long'er, if he hadn't left some demonic qi in the colorful cloud chain, he condensed a clone to save Long'er at the critical moment, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

As soon as he thought of the treasure he held in the palm of his hand, he was actually remembered by his sworn enemy, and Yebei Ming was on fire, and he couldn't wait to immediately dismantle the demon killing heaven.

So, he sent additional people to search for the traces of the Demon Slayer Heaven, but after so much time, he found nothing except for finding a few clones.

Seeing Ye Beiming's actions, a chill ran down the spine of all his subordinates, and their hearts were even more uneasy, for fear that the Demon Lord would burn his anger on himself.

"Keep searching, once found, kill it!" Yebei said coldly.

Then, his figure flashed, and the space distorted, and he disappeared in place.

After Ye Beiming left, a long exhalation sounded in the hall, and he felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Qingmo, what's wrong with the Demon Lord? I hadn't found Demon Slayer Heaven before, and I hadn't seen him so angry. Qingchen asked suspiciously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do what you're told." Qing Mo said coldly, turned around and walked outside the hall.

"Alright! Let's keep looking, I don't believe it, this demon slaying heaven has nine lives! Qingmo, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me! Qingchen said as he quickly followed.

And Qing Tian and Qing Che glanced at Mo Ya in the distance, their eyes were a little complicated, and then they also walked outside the hall, they suspected that the person who seriously injured them last time and released the Demon Killing Sky was Mo Ya, but the two had no evidence, so they could only start investigating Mo Ya in private.

Mo Ya clutched a handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes staring at the direction in which Ye Beiming disappeared, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

……

Inside the Stone Gate

"Squeak~squeak~" is like the sound of many hard objects hitting the ground, and the ground trembles slightly, and the sound is particularly clear in the empty passage, and it is particularly terrifying to listen to.

"Where's the voice? Sounds weird. Qu Huaiyu shrunk his neck and asked.

"It's certainly not a good thing." Nangong Xue pursed her chapped lips and said.

"What to do? Let's run! Can't you stand here waiting to be beaten? Qu Huaiyu hurriedly said.

"It's too late, you see." Yue Linglong pointed in the direction she came.

"Squeak~Squeak~~" A group of skeleton puppets are walking towards this side, their foot bones rubbing against the jade ground, making a tooth-sore sound, and the skeletons are densely packed with no end in sight.

Each skeleton exuded a trace of black qi all over its body, and the eyes of the original black hole flashed with a strange red light, and the entire passage looked ghostly.

Looking at these skeletons, Yue Linglong frowned slightly, she always felt that the skeleton puppet in front of her was a little different from what she had encountered before.

"Ding~" Qu Huaiqi raised the long sword, the sword body was infused with aura, and slashed towards the nearest skeleton puppet, "clang", the sword broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, Qu Huaiqing felt like it was split on a piece of dark iron, which shocked him and made his mouth numb.

"Giggle~" The skeleton puppet grinned, as if mocking Qu Huaiyu's indiscretion.

Qu Huaiqi felt a little incredible, his long sword was also a top-grade holy weapon, and the blow just now was actually directly broken!

And Nangong Jin and the others were also a little surprised, their weapons were of similar grades, and they were usually offered like treasures, but in front of these skeleton puppets, they were like scrap metal.

Seeing that the skeleton stretched out its withered claws, and was about to claw towards Qu Huaiqing, Yue Linglong's eyes lit up, and he threw a whip over, and the skeleton was quickly burned into ashes by the flames on the fire phoenix whip.

"These skeleton puppets are different from the previous ones, ordinary weapons are useless to them, and it may be useful to cut them with these knives." Yue Linglong took out four knives from the space and handed them to Qu Huaiqi and a few people.

These knives were still scraped by her in the trap of Yun Ji's underground palace, but I don't know if they can be used against these skeleton puppets?

"Linglong, these knives are actually pseudo-immortal weapons, and they are also of the highest grade!" Qu Huaiqi took the knife in his hand and sighed.

"Click~" Qu Huaiyu raised the knife and cut a skeleton in half at once.

"Master, this knife is good, it can actually chop these skeletons, it is quite easy to use, and it is not heavy at all." Qu Huaiyu said excitedly.

"Click~Click~" Several people raised their knives and slashed the skeletons beside them.

"Linglong, this knife is really easy to use." Qu Huaiqing said excitedly.

"It's good to be easy, concentrate when fighting, don't get scratched, those black gas are not a good thing." Yue Linglong admonished.

"Click~Click~" More and more skeleton golems fell, and new skeletons poured in behind them.

Looking into the distance, the passage was densely packed with skeletons, and there were many people coming from behind, as if there was no end, they stretched out their withered claws and rushed in the direction of Yue Linglong and the others.

"Master, use the strange fire! With so many skeletons, how long are you going to cut them? Qu Huaiyu shouted loudly.

"Yes! Linglong, you hurry up and use different fires, although these puppets are not powerful, they can't stand the large number! My hands were almost unconscious. Qu Huaiqi said.

"No, it seems like something is blocking my connection with the other fire." Yue Linglong said.

She had tried to summon the alien fire before, but an invisible force blocked her previous connection with the alien fire, no matter how she summoned it, it was useless.

"Giggle~" The skeleton puppet opened its mouth and let out a sharp laugh like grinding teeth, and the whole passage was ghostly and creepy!

Seeing more and more skeleton puppets rushing over, Qu Huaiqi and the others were already showing fatigue.

"Stand back." Yue Linglong said coldly.

Nangong Jin and the others had absolute trust in Yue Linglong, and immediately retreated behind Yue Linglong, Yue Linglong swept out the fire phoenix whip, the whip burned with red flames, and a large number of skeletons in front of him turned into ashes.

"Scatter beans into soldiers." Yue Linglong took the opportunity to scatter a large handful of beans and began to urge spiritual power.

The beans took root and began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the vines were like living creatures, blocking the skeleton puppets in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go." Yue Linglong said.

Qu Huaiqing and the others listened to Yue Linglong's words, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the depths of the passage, and about a quarter of an hour later, many forks in the road appeared in front of Yue Linglong's eyes.

"Squeak~squeak~" The tooth-sore voice sounded again.

"Oh no, those skeleton puppets are following again." Nangong Xue said anxiously.

"Master, what should I do? With so many roads in front of us, which one should we take? Qu Huaiyu hurriedly asked.

"There are ten roads here, and only one is the way to live." Yue Linglong said.

"Isn't that a life of death?" Qu Huaiqi said in surprise.

"That's right, I sensed it with my divine thoughts, as if an invisible force blocked the detection of divine thoughts, and the divine thoughts I released were blocked back." Yue Linglong continued.

"I'll give it a try." Nangong Jin released his divine thoughts, as if there was an invisible force that bounced back his divine thoughts.

"How?" Qu Huaiqing hurriedly asked.

"Like Linglong, my divine thoughts have also been rebounded." Nangong Jin shook his head and said.

"Squeak~Squeak~" The skeleton puppet got closer and closer, knocking on the hearts of Qu Huaiyu and several people one by one, like a life-urging charm, and the atmosphere began to become tense and depressing.

From a distance, it was densely packed, with skulls moving and boundless, as if the entire passage was occupied.

"Why don't you pick one!" Qu Huaiyu said anxiously.

"Nine deaths and one life, a slight mistake, no return!" Qu Huaiqi said.

"Linglong, you make a decision! I listen to you. Nangong Jin said.

Whether it is the Sword Mountain or the Sea of Fire in front, as long as there is a place where Yue Linglong is, even if he dies, he has no regrets.

"Sister Linglong, I listen to you too." Nangong Xue said firmly.

"Of course I am." Qu Huaiqi said with a smile.

"Let me think about it!" Yue Linglong said.

"We'll wait for you to decide, and we'll take care of the rest." After Qu Huaiqi finished speaking, he jumped out first.

"Click~" The knife fell, and a skeleton puppet was split in half.

"Giggle~" The skeleton let out a sharp laugh like grinding teeth, and the human scalp tingled when he heard it.

"Click~click~" Qu Huaiyu brandished his long knife and slashed at the skeleton.

"Miss Ben makes you laugh, and the smile is so terrible, it doesn't sound good at all." Qu Huaiyu said while chopping.

The skeletons seemed to be endless, endless, and the space for movement became smaller and smaller.

"Master! Have you thought about it? We can't hold on anymore. Qu Huaiyu asked loudly.

"Go the first one." Yue Linglong said.

She retreated to Qu Huaiyu and Nangong Xue, covering the two of them to enter the first channel, with Yue Linglong joining, the pressure on Qu Huaiyu and Nangong Jin was greatly reduced, and they cut down the skeletons beside them, and also entered the first channel.

"Cher, you're hurt." As soon as Yue Linglong entered, she saw Nangong Xue's injured arm.
