Chapter 180

A preliminary attempt.

Chen Yu came to the conclusion that the defense of the "Copper Statue Body" was more than twice as strong as when he was at the entry level "Copper Bone"!

After that, ordinary attacks from the Qi Transformation Stage and Postcelestial Stage would not be able to hurt him easily.

Not only that!

The "Copper Statue Body" was no longer a pure defense. It could produce a copper statue force field that could reflect all kinds of attacks.

Simply put.

Even if Chen Yu stood still, the enemy could be injured by the recoil.

Of course.

There were certain conditions for this recoil:

The main limitation was distance. It needed to be a close attack to be able to reflect the opponent.

Because.

The Copper Statue Force Field formed by the Copper Statue Body was, in essence, formed by pure physical strength. It wasn't energy like inner breath or True Qi.

This kind of physical strength was only attached to the surface of the body.

"If it was a close attack below the Qi Transformation Stage, I'm afraid that my 'Copper Statue Body' would cause them to vomit blood."

Chen Yu revealed a faint smile.

Then.

Chen Yu tried the power of the "Copper Statue Body".

He found that the increase in strength was almost doubled, but due to the formation of the copper statue force field, the attack power was far more than doubled.

At this moment.

Chen Yu did not use inner breath or true qi. Just by relying on the "Copper Statue Skill", he could fight against ordinary early and middle stage Postcelestial Stage.

Advancing to the Copper Statue Body was of great significance to Chen Yu.

This meant that in the field of body cultivation, he had stepped into the level of the Qi Transformation Stage.

Before this.

Although Chen Yu could fight with the Qi Transformation Stage Postcelestial Stage, the amount of "Cloud Fiend Qi" was very small, and the Black Emperor bloodline also had to be used sparingly.

If he encountered a powerful Qi Transformation Stage, it would be troublesome to fight a protracted battle.

And now.

Chen Yu was confident that if he encountered the two Postcelestial Stage Cultivators from the Water Moon Sect, he would have a high chance of winning without the help of insects and puppets.

…

Not long after Chen Yu advanced to the "Copper Statue Body", the war in the Chu Sect world had a historical turn.

Three days later.

A member of the Yunyue Gate rode a bird and hurriedly landed in the Iron Ridge Mine.

"The front line is not good!"

"The Iron Sword Sect and our side have been defeated. The main force is retreating and tightening the defensive line …"

This member of the Yunyue Gate reported to Chen Yu, the leader of the guards.

"Defeated? Could it be that the reinforcements from the Soaring Sword Sect have not arrived yet? "

Chen Yu said in surprise.

"The Towering Sword Sect has indeed sent many reinforcements, and it isn't even inferior to the reinforcements from 05 years ago."

"It's just that Bone Demon Palace was already prepared this time. They revived the first-generation Bone Demon King that they viewed as a taboo and won in one fell swoop."

This Yun Yue Martial School disciple's face was filled with fear.

"Bone Devil King?"

Chen Yu was shocked.

As a member of the Chu Sect, he had heard the rumor of the first "Bone Devil".

Legend had it that this creature was an otherworldly fiend that the founder of Bone Devil Palace had subdued with a supreme divine ability.

This demonic creature possessed world-shocking might. At its peak, it could practically fight against a Void Sea Realm Supremacy.

Later, for some unknown reason, the first-generation Bone Devil King rebelled and brought disaster to Bone Demon Palace.

After suffering heavy losses, Bone Demon Palace sealed the first-generation Bone Devil King and let it fall into a deep slumber. It was gradually forgotten by the world and became a legend.

"What instructions does the Sect have for the Ironridge Mine?"

Chen Yu's expression was solemn.

"Tighten the defenses!"

The messenger left the last four words and left on a flying beast.

From this day onwards.

The entire Ironridge Mine fell into a solemn atmosphere.

Chen Yu mobilized the thirty or so members in the mine to strengthen the vigilance day and night.

Even he himself did not dare to focus on cultivation. He even released the Ironmoon Strange Insects to scout the nearby area.

A few days later.

The Ironridge Mine welcomed some wounded. They were all members of the Yunyue Gate who had retreated from the battlefield.

The cultivation of these defeated and wounded soldiers ranged from the Pulse Soothing Realm to the Qi Transformation Realm.

"Chen!"

At this time, a blood-soaked, black-robed youth hobbled his way to Chen Yu.

"Senior Brother Chang!"

Chen Yu was shocked and looked at his senior brother Chang Xuan.

Chang Xuan was actually one of the wounded who had retreated from the frontlines. He seemed to be severely injured.

"Chen, if not for the Sky Bamboo Shoot Liquid you gave me, I would have died from the pursuit of Bone Demon Palace and Watermoon Sect."

Chang Xuan said bitterly.

Seeing that his figure was swaying, Chen Yu hurriedly went to support him.

"Senior Brother Chang, you should recuperate first. We can talk about it later."

"No! Chen, I came to find you this time to complete Master's request. "

Chang Xuan took out a few items from his storage bag.

They were four sparkling and translucent Origin Stones and a small black jar that was filled with a sticky black substance.

"Middle-grade Primordial Stones!"

Chen Yu immediately understood and hurried to take the two items.

These two items were obviously arranged by Elder Mao to facilitate Chen Yu's use of the ancient transportation array.

Next.

Chang Xuan briefly explained the situation at the frontlines.

"All lines have been routed!"

"Our sect's Grand Elder Gong Yang was heavily injured by the Bone Demon King. Master was also injured by Enforcer Shangguan and the others in battle … "

Chang Xuan had a bitter expression.

He himself had been entrusted by Elder Mao to deliver the items to Chen Yu after the defeat.

In the end, he was pursued by Bone Demon Palace's camp during the retreat.

"Looking at the situation, Bone Demon Palace's camp is likely to attack the vicinity of the Ironridge Mine."

Chen Yu took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

With the Ironridge Mine's forces and wounded, it would be akin to striking a rock with an egg if they encountered a large force from Bone Demon Palace.

The development of the situation was similar to Chen Yu's speculation.

Or rather, it was even worse.

On the second day.

"Chen! There's a large force approaching ten miles away. There seems to be a battle. "

Fang Haofei said hurriedly.

"I'll go take a look!"

Chen Yu's expression tightened as he rushed to the observation tower at the peak of the Ironridge Mine.

Boom!

As soon as he set foot on the observation tower, Chen Yu vaguely felt the nearby mountains shake slightly. A large cloud of dust appeared in the distance.

"That's …"

Chen Yu looked into the distance, his face aghast.

From his vantage point, he saw the confrontation in the dusty area with his superhuman vision.

The word 'confrontation' was not appropriate to describe it.

To be precise, it was a pursuit.

There were hundreds of people being pursued. Chen Yu barely caught a glimpse of some familiar figures.

"Does the heavens want my Yunyue Gate dead?"

The blue-robed Yunyue Sect Master looked aghast as he floated to a mountain peak. A circle of light blue True Qi crackling with electricity appeared around him.

In the vicinity.

There were also Elder Nangong, Elder Mao, Fairy Summer Rain, and other qi transforming realm upper echelons.

There were hundreds of Yunyue Gate members, ranging from qi transforming connate elders to the lowest Soothing Pulse cultivators. All of them were fleeing in a sorry state, most of them injured.

"Whoosh!"

A three-story tall Skeleton King covered in black Qi swept over like a pitch-black tornado, bringing with it surging sinister winds and demonic Qi.

"Run!"

Sect Master Yunyue and a few qi transforming elders quickly retreated.

Boom!

The mountain peak that everyone was originally on was instantly smashed into pieces, directly flattened by the Skeleton King.

"Ahhh …"

The screams were drowned out by the collapsed mountain and dust.

The mountain was flattened with one attack.

Yunyue Gate lost forty to fifty elites in an instant. Not only were there Soothing Pulse and Viscera Refinement cultivators, but there were also some qi transforming cultivators.

Mmm ~

The Skeleton King's body was covered in a layer of purple-and-blood-colored flames. The black chains that bound its body made clanking noises.

In an instant.

The giant skeleton body expanded again, growing to the height of a seven-story building. Red flames the size of lanterns danced in its eye sockets.

The Yunyue Gate members were the size of insects in front of it.

"Swoosh!"

The giant shadow of black Qi flashed in the air, and the evil Qi roared as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

The giant bony hand that was comparable to a giant python waved like lightning.

"Ahhh!"

A blood-curdling scream was heard as a white-bearded old man was caught in the hands of the Bone Demon King.

The white-bearded elder's body burst out a ball of dazzling Connate True Qi, but it suddenly dimmed.

"Kacha!"

The white-bearded elder's body was squeezed into two pieces by the Bone Demon King like a small insect.

"No! Grandpa … "

Nangong Li, who was dressed in white, almost fainted in the crowd.

The person who died was Elder Nangong!

"Nangong Li! Retreat … "

Zong Tianchen, the chief disciple, dragged Nangong Li away.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a whirlwind of black smoke that looked like a tornado appeared, flattening all the trees in the surrounding hundreds of feet radius. Another few tens of Yun Yue Martial School's disciples were killed.

"Stop this monster!"

A fierce shout came from the sky.

A man and a woman descended from the sky and blocked the Bone Demon King's way.

The man was in his thirties or forties, wearing a loose black robe, and emitted a grand and fierce aura.

The other woman was in her late twenties, wearing a colorful palace dress. Her eyes were filled with invisible sword intent.

"Slash!"

The man and the woman each held a sword and drew two dazzling sword rainbows. One was golden, the other colorful.

Boom! Ding Ding Ding Chi!

The golden and colorful sword auras intertwined and turned into a colorful golden Sword Qi storm, shrouding the Bone Demon King who was six or seven floors high.

"What a terrifying sword aura!"

Ten miles away, Chen Yu stood on the observation deck and saw the shocking confrontation.

The man and the woman's sword attack was no weaker than Lu Tiezu's, especially the beautiful woman in colorful dress, whose sword intent was even better.

The two joined forces and their strength rose to a new height, enough to look down on the Chu Sect world.

"All of you, retreat quickly! The two of us can only stall the Bone Demon King for half a cup of tea's time. "

The black-robed man turned his head and shouted.

Retreat!

Sect Master Yunyue looked anxious as he led the people of the Yunyue Gate to escape.

"Fortunately, the two seniors of the High Sword Sect arrived, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

"The Bone Demon King alone can flatten the Yunyue Gate, not to mention the Supreme Elder is being chased and missing …"

Some of the Yunyue Gate's higher-ups said with lingering fear.

Looking back.

The black-robed man and the rainbow-robed woman combined their swords, and a vast colorful golden Sword Qi storm enveloped the Bone Demon King. Sparks flew everywhere, but it didn't leave any obvious wounds.

The sword cultivators who were famous for their attack power couldn't do anything to the Bone Demon King.

And on the battlefield before.

The Supreme Elder of the Yunyue Gate, Gong Yang, had been seriously injured by the Bone Demon King.

"Leave these two to me. You go after the defeated soldiers of the Yunyue Gate."

A calm voice came from the head of the Bone Demon King.

Through the flashing red eyes of the Bone Demon King, a handsome and elegant blood-robed man could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in the head.

"Kill!"

Behind the huge body of the Bone Demon King, a team of hundreds of people came, full of murderous intent.

Among them, there were nearly ten Qi Transformation Connate experts, led by Protector Shangguan and the Sect Master of the Shuiyue Sect. Their strength was far stronger than the Yunyue Gate.

"These people of the Yunyue Gate want to retreat to the mountain gate?"

The beautiful female Sect Master of the Shuiyue Sect giggled with a cold face.

"Huh? It seems to be the Iron Ridge Mine in front. "

Protector Shangguan unfolded a map, his eyes flashing.
