"Ah... who?! Who dares play such a joke on me?! Have they grown tired of living?"
At this moment, a shadow flew out from the ruined temple, ascending skyward. The voice was ancient and filled with exasperation and a sinister killing intent!
It was then that Gu Yuan finally saw the appearance of the Xuan You Old Monster.
This person's appearance seemed noticeably younger than Chen Laotou, looking to be in his forties, with a hooked nose, high bridge of the nose, and deep-set eyes, his face shadowed and menacing.
He originally wore a luxurious black robe with gold patterns, but now the robe was tattered and torn.
His waist and back were bloody and mangled, with some areas exposing pale bones!
In his hand, he held a gray-yellow banner more than five feet long, but the banner surface had several different-sized holes, with wisps of gray yin energy seeping out and dissipating in the air.
"Hahaha... Xuan You Old Monster, how does the taste of my Yin Thunder Pearl feel?"
Chen Laotou appeared, laughing loudly: "You should know, I have prepared this grand gift for you for decades! Now that I can personally deliver it to you, I am truly overjoyed!"
He laughed heartily, seeing the embarrassing state of the Xuan You Old Monster, feeling exceedingly pleased at heart, especially upon seeing the tattered Soul-Killing Banner in his hand, feeling an immense satisfaction.
"Chen Qi, it's you!"
Upon seeing Chen Laotou, the Xuan You Old Monster's face showed a momentary pause of surprise and anger, then gradually collected itself, with his eyes flickering:
"A decrepit person with not many years left like you dares to trouble me; aren't you afraid of exhausting your source, burning out your life's lamp?!"
"Burning out?"
Chen Laotou sneered: "Being about to burn out isn't something unique to me alone, is it?"
The Xuan You Old Monster's face flickered with anger, wanting to retort, but Chen Laotou waved a hand, and a cyan spiritual light shot out.
"Enough with the nonsense, do you think I don't know you're deliberately stalling for time? Old Monster, prepare to die!"
At that moment, the ground around the Xuan You Old Monster suddenly cracked open.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thick, cyan-gray vines emerged, covered with sharp spikes, gleaming coldly, writhing like living pythons towards the Xuan You Old Monster.
"Damn it!"
The Xuan You Old Monster's face turned unpleasant, shaking his Soul-Killing Banner to block the cyan light.
The cyan light was indeed a cyan wooden sword over a foot long!
This wooden sword was also a Magical Artifact, though made of wood, emitted a sharp Sword Qi, poking another hole in the banner surface of the Soul-Killing Banner.
The Xuan You Old Monster shivered in heartache.
This Soul-Killing Banner was something he crafted painstakingly over decades with materials like millennial pagoda tree heart and ghost-faced spider sacs.
Though of lower-grade, because many killer ghosts were refined within it, its power rivaled that of middle-grade Magical Artifacts.
But now, this treasure, like his lifeline, was continually damaged, and estimated to have been tossed on the street, no one would take a second glance!
He couldn't afford to be heartbroken, after driving back the cyan wooden sword, the Soul-Killing Banner moved, intercepting the incoming vines.
Clang!
Yet at this time, the wooden sword carved out a cyan streak in the air, slashing towards him again!
At the same time, Chen Laotou sneered: "Old Monster, stop pretending, did you think I wouldn't know? How long do you plan to hide the White Bone Yin Demon Sword you've been refining?!"
"You actually know!"
The Xuan You Old Monster's eyes widened, then realized something was amiss:
"You killed my disciple!"
The Soul-Killing Banner shook violently, blocking the wooden sword Magical Artifact again, with another piece of the banner surface being sliced off.
However, the Xuan You Old Monster didn't even spare it a glance, he just glared at Chen Laotou, his eyes turning red, gritting his teeth:
"Do you know how long I searched to find a good material like a Three Evil Child Fate, patiently waiting for more than a decade to help him grow? Just need to wait a bit more, and I could use killer ghosts to temper its blade, finally refining it into a top-grade Magical Artifact!"
"But now, all this has been destroyed by you, you truly deserve death!"
"Destruction is good!"
Chen Laotou laughed heartily, not explaining much: "I not only want to destroy your Magical Artifacts but also kill you!"
"You seek death!"
Thinking of his long-planned White Bone Yin Demon Sword falling through, the Xuan You Old Monster was heartbroken beyond consolation, his face turning indifferent and icy:
"So be it, since the top-grade Magical Artifact is no more, then I can only settle for the next best thing... Fortunately, I corrected in time, there will still be a chance to upgrade to a top-grade Magical Artifact in the future. As for you, Chen Laotou, today you shall be the first sacrifice under my Demon Sword!"
Before the words finished, the Xuan You Old Monster's Soul-Killing Banner exploded with a boom.
Clang!
With the sound of sword singing, a pure white long sword emerged, trailing a long white light, thrusting towards Chen Laotou!
This long sword was as white as snow, exuding a crystalline feeling, as if carved from precious jade.
At least, Gu Yuan, observing from afar, recognized the origin of this long sword.
It was clearly transformed from that White Bone Human Demon!
That Qian Yunfeng, reveling in being an apprentice to the Xuan You Old Monster, who would have thought he was just material for Xuan You Old Monster's Artifact Refining!
Where the white Sword Light passed, black mist pervaded, accompanied by sinister and piercing ghostly cries, making the listener feel a splitting headache, with distracting thoughts filling the heart!
Clang!
The Sword Light from the White Bone Yin Demon Sword was blocked by the wooden sword, but the next moment.
Crack!
The wooden sword was cut in half.
Pff!
As the Magical Artifact he had sacrificed his heart blood for was destroyed, Chen Laotou immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What a flying sword!"
Even while spitting blood, Chen Laotou just wiped his mouth, acting nonchalantly, admiring:
"I never thought you would be so decisive, directly destroying your Soul-Killing Banner, to achieve the White Bone Yin Demon Sword, even in further 'Great Success,' it should become a middle-grade Magical Artifact, right?!"
"But I wonder, can your flying sword still withstand another Yin Thunder Pearl from me?"
Chen Laotou flicked his finger, a gray-white light point shot out like a meteor.
"You..."
Seeing this, the Xuan You Old Monster's sinister smile froze on his face, his eyes filled with intense surprise and horror!
How could it be!
How could there be another Yin Thunder Pearl, such a rare treasure? He actually had another one?!
Boom!!!
The gray-white light point quickly hit the White Bone Yin Demon Sword, then exploded violently.
The earth trembled, forests swayed!
A torrent of air waves roared, sweeping in all directions!
Blasting a thick layer off the ground as hard as iron stone, flinging it far away!
At the same time, the gray-white Thunder Light spread like substance, destroying everything tangible and intangible around it!
Where it passed, dirt, stones, grass, and wood were all annihilated by the Thunder Light, vanishing!
When all this calmed down,
Clatter!
Two grayish pieces fell to the ground with a clear sound, exactly that White Bone Yin Demon Sword.
But now this flying sword had been blown into two halves, its surface dim, with the sword body pitted, completely turned into scrap.
On the spot, a pit more than three meters deep and several zhangs wide appeared.
