The atmosphere at the exit of the fourth layer of the Earth Fire Demon Cave was exceptionally heavy.

Although He Yichao wanted his subordinates to capture Lu Yu and withdraw from the Earth Fire Demon Cave, his inner warning kept reminding him not to act rashly, otherwise, he might end up like those demon beasts, having their lives devoured by that silhouette.

Lu Yu also didn't dare to move recklessly. He felt that the silhouette had focused its attention on him, seeming to take a keen interest in him.

"Awoooo~" The demon beast let out a weak howl, which quickly grew fainter until it lost its breath, as the terrifying silhouette approached the crowd.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu felt the approaching icy and eerie aura, his heart stirred. Such dense and chilling yin energy, could it be a monster emerging from the Forest of White Bones?

Previously, he had encountered a monster made of bones in the Forest of White Bones and had obtained a piece of White Jade Spirit Bone. Had it come after him for taking a part of its body?

"Ha~" A stream of white breath was exhaled, the long trail of white breath passed over the crowd. Lu Yu felt a chill in his hands and feet, as the Qi Blood accelerated within his body, dispelling the cold.

"Hahaha~" A sound of teeth chattering reached Lu Yu's ears, and soon the people behind him used Spiritual Power to expel the cold within them and isolate the cold air, stopping the chattering of their teeth.

Suddenly exposed to the cold, it was difficult to control the instinctive chattering of their teeth. Once the cold was expelled, it got much better, and their facial muscles no longer twitched involuntarily.

The white mist rolled up, the mist that covered their vision disappeared, and the silhouette appeared before Lu Yu, visible to others as well.

It was a crystalline, spotless white figure, and upon seeing such a pure white body, the crowd felt nothing but a chill rising from their hearts.

Lu Yu gazed at the bony body before him, hesitating whether to return the piece of bone to it, as it indeed lacked several bones. The bones on its body appeared identical to the White Jade Spirit Bone Lu Yu had obtained, gleaming as white as jade.

Suddenly, he sensed a fatal danger. The Spiritual Power within the senior of the Liang family erupted violently, transforming into fierce beasts that crashed against the bony body, yet unable to make it retreat even half a step.

The bony body withstood the full force of the senior of the Liang family, standing firm in midair, extending a hand towards him.

The bone hand, white as jade, shattered Spiritual Power beasts capable of severely injuring a Qi Sea Realm fourth stage, piercing through the body of the senior of the Liang family, leaving a transparent bloody hole.

Strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed from the body of the senior of the Liang family, and the flesh around the bloody hole continued to wriggle, attempting to restrain the bone hand.

The senior of the Liang family showed no change in expression, as if the strike that pierced through his chest was merely a graze's ordinary attack.

He reached out to grasp the bone hand, the Spiritual Power within him wildly tearing at the bony body, producing a harsh, unpleasant sound. The bony body was too resilient, even more so than high-grade Spiritual Armor, and the senior of the Liang family could not break it.

Glancing at He Yichao and others behind him, Lu Yu took out a Fire Spirit Pearl filled with Purple Flame Demon Fire. When the purple-black Fire Spirit Pearl appeared in his hand, everyone felt a surge of violent energy.

Back then, the Fire Phoenix was nearly advancing to the Demon Core stage. Its fake core could contain power far beyond the peak of Qi Sea Realm. If fully unleashed, it could even hurt strong Core Formation Realm fighters, although Lu Yu himself would also be affected.

Detonating the Fire Spirit Pearl filled with power was equivalent to a self-detonation, perishing together with the opponent.

Seeing that not even the senior of the Liang family could harm the bony body, Lu Yu was uncertain whether the power from the Fire Spirit Pearl's explosion could destroy the bony body. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ⓝovelFire.net

His target wasn't the bony body but the He family members.

The bony body could withstand the explosion from the Fire Spirit Pearl, but He Yichao and the others certainly couldn't, as none of them even reached the peak of Qi Sea Realm.

Lu Yu handed the Fire Spirit Pearl to the senior of the Liang family, asking him to move the bony body towards the He family members, bringing them with him to self-detonate.

The dark eye sockets of the bony body flickered with light as it forcibly pulled back the arm attached and restrained by the blood and flesh of the senior of the Liang family, retreating while the flesh on the arm quickly dried and withered.

It didn't absorb the flesh of the senior of the Liang family because his flesh was already demonized. To the bony body, the senior's flesh was like expired poisonous food, not necessarily lethal, but would make it very uncomfortable.

Especially now, having just revived, its soul was not yet restored, it could only utilize a small portion of its Soul Power, and its consciousness could not be tainted by demonic aura. Otherwise, even if it revived, it wouldn't be its original self.

The bony body opened its mouth as if to speak, but it no longer had muscles or vocal cords to make a sound.

Noticing the action of the bony body, Lu Yu also paused in detonating the Fire Spirit Pearl's power, watching it intently. The senior of the Liang family remained expressionless, his flesh continually wriggling, filling the pierced body.

He Yichao and Wang Zhuangming's scalps tingled at the sight of the senior of the Liang family's wriggling flesh. Just seeing the bony body had already shocked them deeply, but even more astonishing was the fact that the Guardian beside Lu Yu wasn't human! Not human!

This made their scalps tingle and chilled their hearts.

What on earth was going on? Why were there monsters everywhere! Was no one acting human anymore?

Realizing it couldn't make a sound, the bony body gave up opening its mouth, vibrating the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to produce sound, "In consideration of you aiding my revival, I'll spare you this time."
