Chapter 1348: Bai’s Request

The phantom looked down at the battlefield.

The eyeballs condensed from white light turned slightly, and their gaze landed on the bone claw.

It raised its right hand, extended its index finger, and lightly tapped toward the bone claw.

At the same time, Daoist Master Zhenyi appeared from a shower of light. A gentle breeze and fine rain drifted around him, misty and hazy.

His figure looked somewhat ethereal, but his movements were no slower than Canghong’s. He swiftly formed a hand seal, then overlapped his hands. An illusory array diagram shot out from his palms.

Canghong’s target was the bone claw itself. The instant the phantom pointed, the void trembled, and a speck of white light struck the bone claw at the critical moment.

Crack, crack, crack... The white light seemed to contain countless blades, madly cutting into the ghost claw.

Meanwhile, Zhenyi had chosen to help Qin Sang block the danger.

The array diagram flashed and appeared between Qin Sang and the bone claw. It unfurled, standing upright with its center facing the bone claw, then began spinning rapidly.

The array diagram stirred the wind and clouds while runes flickered in and out.

The two top experts attacked at the same time, displaying extraordinary secret techniques to jointly stop the bone claw!

In the next moment, horror appeared in all three men’s eyes at once.

Poof! The white light dimmed, and countless threads of light burst apart.

Boom! A palm-shaped hole was torn open in the center of the array diagram.

The bone claw forcibly broke through both obstructions. Although its momentum weakened slightly, its devilish qi still towered to the sky!

At this critical moment, a black shadow charged over and barely inserted itself between Qin Sang and the bone claw. It was the Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet, which had revealed itself to save its master.

The Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet did not know what fear was. Facing the bone claw directly, its expression remained as stiff as ever, without the slightest change, and it stepped forward to attack.

Bang! The Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet collided with the bone claw. In an instant, a black shadow flew back and crashed heavily to the ground.

Shockingly, there was now a claw mark on the Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet’s chest. It was deeply embedded in the puppet’s chest cavity. If it had been an ordinary person, they would likely have already been disemboweled.

The Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet rolled over and stood up. The claw mark on its chest was smoothed away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it appeared completely unharmed on the outside. Only the damaged puppet seal within its body revealed that it had been injured.

The jade skeleton was quite surprised.

Although he knew this was a puppet body and that this blow could not possibly inflict a fatal wound, the talisman puppet’s easy recovery still surprised him somewhat. It had clearly been refined with excellent spiritual materials.

However, his target was not the puppet. His soul fire still fixed on Qin Sang.

With Canghong, Zhenyi, and the Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet joining hands to obstruct it, the bone claw finally came to a stop.

Qin Sang did not stop moving. He retreated rapidly, and his vigilance did not lessen in the slightest, because he knew very well that the jade skeleton had already set his sights on him. He would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Get lost!" The jade skeleton’s true body appeared. His head turned, sweeping over Canghong and Zhenyi. The soul fire in his eye sockets abruptly erupted.

Warning signs surged in Zhenyi’s heart. His figure instantly shifted dozens of zhang sideways, but then he felt a burst of pain. He was horrified to discover that his Thousand-Treasure Fly-Whisk had already revealed its true form and was surrounded by a mass of soul fire, so he hurriedly recalled it.

Canghong gave a muffled groan. A thread of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the phantom behind him shattered in response!

Whoosh, whoosh... One treasure light after another shot out from the blood clouds in succession, all focusing their attacks on the jade skeleton.

During this time, the other Spiritual Infant cultivators had finally steadied themselves from the impact. Seeing the situation outside, they each sacrificed their treasures to provide support.

Zhenyi and Canghong suppressed their injuries and attacked again.

The jade skeleton snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

All the Spiritual Infant cultivators were seasoned in battle. Although they could not see through the jade skeleton’s movements, from his determined attitude toward Qin Sang, they could still judge a thing or two. In tacit understanding, they all drove their astras to change direction.

Boom! Streaming lights scattered in all directions.

Everyone’s attacks bombarded one place, but unfortunately, what they destroyed was only the jade skeleton’s afterimage.

Purple light burst from the jade skeleton, surging like a tide as he pounced straight toward Qin Sang.

Bang! Unsurprisingly, the Spiritual Infant Talisman Puppet was sent flying again. Qin Sang was caught in the shockwaves, and his figure trembled violently.

The Devil-Binding Chain had been in his hand the entire time, but he had never struck with it.

Bai had secretly sent the Devil-Binding Chain over and requested that Qin Sang use it against the jade skeleton once he felt his life was in danger. However, unless there was no other choice, it was best not to use it and to help him buy as much time as possible.

The jade skeleton’s strength is too terrifying. Even if he is not as powerful as the Devil Monarch’s split soul on Yitian Peak, he probably isn’t far off. Qin Sang thought. Back then, he had not been capable of facing the Devil Monarch’s split soul directly, so he had no way to judge accurately.

The Devil Lord of Canglang Sea and Lingzhuzi were probably no match for him!

This guy has set his sights on me... Thoughts flashed rapidly through Qin Sang’s mind as he raised the ebony sword again.

Bang! This time, the sword array lasted for an even shorter period.

Zhenyi and the others did not dare pause. They all sacrificed their own trump cards to rescue him.

The people present might not necessarily have had any goodwill toward Qin Sang, but they absolutely did not want to see him die at the jade skeleton’s hands. Otherwise, their own situation would become extremely dangerous as well.

Qin Sang seemed to have reached the end of the road and was making his final struggle. With a forceful flick of his sleeve, eighteen devilish banners spiraled out. The devilish flames were unsealed and transformed into a fire dragon, poised to pounce.

"Haha..." The jade skeleton laughed wildly and unrestrainedly. This was precisely the moment he had been waiting for. If he could kill Qin Sang, that would naturally settle everything once and for all. But forcing him to use the devilish flames was already enough to achieve his goal. Killing him was secondary.

Upon seeing the devilish flames, the jade skeleton immediately gave up on chasing Qin Sang.

An inexplicable suction force appeared in the void. At the source of the suction, soul qi pervaded the air, and a pitch-black funnel appeared before everyone.

The funnel was only the size of a palm, but the might it displayed was astonishing. Even the surrounding blood clouds were affected and began to curl.

The funnel turned upside down and aimed at Qin Sang. More accurately, it aimed at the eighteen devilish banners around Qin Sang.

Under Qin Sang’s control, the grand array unfolded. However, the devilish banners did not grow to several zhang tall. Each one was less than the height of a person as they revolved around Qin Sang.

The suction force arrived. The devilish banners all shook, immediately showing signs of instability.

Qin Sang’s expression changed slightly. He poured his true essence into the devilish banners with all his might, yet even then, he could not stabilize them.

Clatter... The devilish banners shook more and more violently.

The devilish flames, which had originally transformed into a fire dragon, now had clusters of flames peeling away from its body and drifting toward the funnel. At the sight of this, everyone was shocked.

Only now did they understand why the jade skeleton had been relentlessly pursuing Qin Sang. It turned out he had taken a fancy to the devilish flames in Qin Sang’s hands, and he was even capable of forcibly seizing it. His conduct was extremely domineering.

Even more astonishing was that Qin Sang could clearly sense that the devilish flames sealed within the devilish banners had also become restless at this moment. The devilish flames danced, attempting to break through the seals of the devilish banners.

Whoosh! The banner surfaces woven from Soul Threads flapped loudly, giving the impression they would be torn apart in the next moment.

No matter how Qin Sang drove the devilish banners, he could not restrain the devilish flames, nor could he cut off the funnel's attraction toward it.

The jade skeleton formed a seal with one hand and pressed it forcefully toward the funnel.

Boom! The devilish flames that had transformed into a fire dragon suddenly went berserk. It broke free from Qin Sang’s control and drifted upward involuntarily.

Qin Sang abruptly raised his head and looked coldly at the jade skeleton, yet there was not the slightest anxiety in his expression.
