Chapter 778: Chapter 771: Annihilation

The God-Slaying Blade, an Acquired Spiritual Treasure wrested from Wu Meng’s grasp, had been in Chen Hai’s possession for quite some time.

Inside the void space evolved from the Eye of Greed, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower was still undulating uncertainly amidst the white mist.

Perhaps due to the high grade of this spiritual treasure, the white mist’s erosion of the treasure had barely reached half completion.

It seemed that a considerable amount of time was still needed for Chen Hai to fully control it.

Such an outcome was naturally quite expected.

After all, the Golden Jiao Scissors had stayed in the white mist of the void space for around ten to twenty days after being taken by the Eye of Greed, before the mist completely eroded them.

In terms of grade, the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower was definitely not inferior to the Golden Jiao Scissors.

The time the white mist needed to completely erode this treasure might even be longer than it took with the Golden Jiao Scissors.

As an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, compared to the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Tower or the Golden Jiao Scissors, the God-Slaying Blade was naturally much inferior.

The erosion speed of the white mist in the void space was naturally much faster for the God-Slaying Blade.

Even so, it was only yesterday that Chen Hai had managed to finally harness this treasure.

Seeing that the skeletons summoned by Mrs. White Bone seemed to inherently resist his Devouring Touch, he naturally pulled out the God-Slaying Blade after a moment of thought.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he used the treasure since it had come into his possession.

Using the God-Slaying Blade to contend with Mrs. White Bone and Chi Lian, he also wanted to test the true power that this treasure could exert in his hands.

To be honest, he really didn’t expect such a huge reaction from both Chi Lian and Mrs. White Bone when they saw the God-Slaying Blade!

“The God-Slaying Blade can restrain the ghost clan?”

After a slight startle, Chen Hai had fully reacted, “Chi Lian, you do have sharp eyes. It’s only my first time using the God-Slaying Blade, yet you’ve already deduced the origin of this item in a glance.”

“As a reward for your wide knowledge, this first strike I make with this treasure since obtaining it shall be thoroughly enjoyed by you, and I definitely won’t let anyone else have it!”

Mrs. White Bone and Chi Lian had only just met Chen Hai for the first time, but through their conversation, he had already learned their names.

With a light laugh, he waved his hand, and the God-Slaying Blade transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting straight towards Chi Lian, who had already escaped some distance.

Transforming into a cloud of blood mist, Chi Lian, who had nearly reached the wall of the compound and was about to escape to the backyard, was suddenly locked in place by the God-Slaying Blade at that instant, a mysterious force acting directly on her, forcibly freezing her in the void.

“Mrs. White Bone, block it, quickly block it for me!”

“As long as you can help me escape this calamity, I’ll give you anything you want, including myself!”

Feeling utterly helpless and seeing the God-Slaying Blade flying towards her, Chi Lian, who could not do anything, could only repeatedly shout out in anger, making continuous promises to Mrs. White Bone.

Dignity and pride were no longer her concerns; whether she could survive was now her sole focus, all her hopes resting solely on Mrs. White Bone.

“With me here, no one can hurt a single hair on you, Chi Lian!”

“White Bone General, assemble!”

Perhaps because he wasn’t as knowledgeable as Chi Lian, Mrs. White Bone knew very little about the God-Slaying Blade.

However, upon seeing Chi Lian’s terrified expression, he became cautious and equally prudent.

If it were any other ghost of their kind, they might have fled just like Chi Lian did under such circumstances.

However, the loyal White Bone clearly possessed the potential of a loyal follower.

Hiding after finally seizing an opportunity to fulfill his long-held wish to be close to Chi Lian, Fang Ze, he ultimately found it hard to leave Chi Lian and flee alone.

As his shout resounded, hundreds of skeletons, like a torrent, instantly converged into a giant skeleton over ninety feet tall.

Meanwhile, White Bone himself transformed into a streak of black light and entered the giant skeleton’s skull.

The originally hollow sockets of the skeleton head, with the integration of White Bone, were instantly alight with Black Fire, and the giant skeleton began to animate.

With just one step forward, he already stood in front of Chi Lian, completely shielding her smaller frame behind him.

“I am here, no one can hurt you!”

“Chi Lian, remember your promise, from today onwards, you are Mrs. White Bone…”

It seemed he wanted to show off and display his manliness as he stood in front of Chi Lian, roaring out with his gruff voice, but he only managed to yell a few sentences.

In the next moment, a streak of blue light flew in, piercing through the giant skull head and continued toward Chi Lian.

The giant skeleton, formed from hundreds of skeletons, was incredibly resilient, especially its skull.

Even a small hill, if placed in front of it, could be easily shattered, but its hard skull would not be damaged in the slightest.

The blue light, transformed from the God-Slaying Blade, although it pierced cleanly through, to the naked eye, the skull seemed still intact.

However, the roaring Black Fire in its sockets was instantly extinguished, becoming hollow once more.

The words from White Bone’s mouth were also cut off halfway, as silence returned.

The entire giant skeleton, with bones as its structure and White Bone as its spirit.

Of course, this ‘White Bone’ refers to the ghost, White Bone, who transformed into black light and entered the skull.

The God-Slaying Blade, sweeping through the skull, seemed not to have damaged the bone, but had utterly annihilated White Bone’s spirit.

Without its spirit, the giant skeleton lost its spirituality and reverted into countless bones that clattered to the ground.

“Master, spare me…” The previously protected Chi Lian, now utterly despairing.

With a pitiable look, she turned to Chen Hai, her tone now completely pleading.

“You anomalies, who devour human living souls for cultivation nourishment, being a true member of the human race, do you think it’s possible for me to spare you?”

Chen Hai sneered as he spoke, and the blue light transformed by the God-Slaying Blade directly entered into Chi Lian’s body locked in the Void Space.

Her already somewhat ethereal body rapidly disintegrated, vanishing completely in less than an instant, leaving no trace behind.

The target of the God-Slaying Blade was Chi Lian from the start; the annihilation of White Bone was merely incidental.

Spinning around, the blue light transformed back into a small dagger several inches long in Chen Hai’s hand.
