Chapter 4229
Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan were startled by the eerie face and involuntarily took a few steps back.
It was precisely because they retreated that they immediately exposed their weaknesses and allowed the Black Bones to close in on them from behind. The two of them were immediately surrounded by danger and began to suffer injuries.
Sorrow and Yuan Buyuan stood back to back and finally managed to stabilize their bodies with all their might. However, they were already at the end of their rope and would not be able to hold on for long before they were completely annihilated.
They finally saw the owner of the gloomy face clearly. It was an old woman in a white robe. She was as thin as a match, like a bamboo pole, and her face was frighteningly pale. The wrinkles on her face were like fish scales.
The old woman floated in the air with the corners of her mouth curled up. She gave a strange smile to Sorrow and Yuan Buyuan, her smile full of resentment and ridicule.
"What is this old woman?"
Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan were puzzled. This strange old woman didn't seem like a living person. She was more like a dead person. Moreover, she appeared and disappeared like a ghost. Even they couldn't sense her aura. If they hadn't seen her in front of them, they would have thought that she didn't exist at all.
After the old woman took away their bracelets, she did not make a move again. Instead, she watched coldly from the sidelines. Sorrow and Yuan Buyuan felt bitter in their hearts. With their bracelets taken away, they had no way out. This time, it seemed that they were going to die here.
Just when the two of them were in despair, they suddenly noticed a huge movement in front of the Black Bones.
They saw that the formation of the Black Bones was in chaos. They even saw many of the Black Bones inexplicably fall apart, black bones flying all over the sky.
In the middle of the countless broken bones, they immediately noticed a figure running quickly among the Black Bones.
Extremely blazing purplish-gold energy surged around this figure, and it swept over like a storm. Everywhere it passed, the black bones collapsed on their own, and then strands of invisible evil energy entered this figure's body like swimming fish.
This figure was extremely fast, and wherever he passed, the Black Bones were all shattered.
"It's him … Brother Yuan, this person seems to have come to save us for your sake!"
Sorrow immediately noticed the appearance of this figure, and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Zhuowen's return made Sorrow subconsciously think that Zhuowen had helped them because of Yuan Buyuan. After all, only Yuan Buyuan knew Zhuowen.
Yuan Buyuan secretly shook his head in confusion. He had only met Zhuowen once, and the latter might not even have an impression of him.
There was no friendship between the two of them. He wasn't narcissistic enough to think that Zhuowen would risk his life to save him.
"Fellow Daoist, we're here!
Thank you for your help! "
Sad Feeling quickly shouted towards Zhuowen, the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Zhuowen also noticed Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan. He was a little surprised that the two of them were still alive.
However, he only paused for a moment and ignored Sorrow Youqing. Instead, he flew away from Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan and began to deal with the Black Bones in the periphery. He did not want to know these two people.
Sorrow Youqing felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and his voice came to an abrupt stop. He looked awkwardly at Zhuowen, who had turned around and left.
"Brother Yuan!
This … "Sorrow Youqing said embarrassedly.
"It's better to rely on oneself than on others!
This person is not here to save us as you think. He must have other motives! "
Yuan Buyuan was much calmer, and he was struggling to resist the attacks of the surrounding Black Bones.
Due to Zhuowen's intervention, part of the Black Bones' attention was attracted by Zhuowen, so the pressure on Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan was reduced by a lot.
Although Zhuowen's aura was disguised as evil energy, the Black Bones could not tell whether he was a friend or foe.
However, as Zhuowen continued to attack the Black Bones, the Black Bones began to react and began to attack Zhuowen.
Unfortunately, Zhuowen, who had mastered the ability to absorb evil energy, was the Black Bones' nemesis. No matter how many Black Bones came, they would all be destroyed. Moreover, the more Black Bones were destroyed, the more terrifying Zhuowen's aura and power became, and his aura became more vigorous and vast.
Not far away, the strange old woman who had taken away Sorrow Youqing and Yuan Buyuan's bracelets coldly looked at Zhuowen's back, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a strange smile.
Without a sound, the old woman disappeared on the spot. When she reappeared, she was already behind Zhuo Wen.
After Zhuowen had just dealt with dozens of Black Bones, his back suddenly became gloomy, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He felt a familiar aura and quickly turned around. Behind him, there was nothing but a group of lifeless Black Bones.
Boom!
Zhuowen stomped his foot, and a terrifying energy wave rippled out. The Black Bones surrounding him were immediately torn apart, turning into evil energy that entered Zhuowen's body.
Zhuowen looked around and frowned. Since just now, he felt that his body had gradually become cold. This kind of cold was the kind that penetrated deep into his bones, and even he could not help but want to shiver a little.
At the same time, his cervical vertebra had been tingling since just now, but he did not feel anything strange after touching his cervical vertebra several times.
"Fellow friend, there's an old thing hanging around your neck. Didn't you notice?"
Just as Zhuowen was feeling puzzled, Sorrow Youqing shouted at Zhuowen from not far away.
From his angle, he could clearly see that the strange old woman's legs were clamping Zhuowen's neck. She was sitting on top of him just like that, and the strange smile on the corners of her mouth became more and more intense.
Hearing this, Zhuowen felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly looked up, but did not find anything strange.
He immediately thought of the giant tower ruins, and what happened in the strange bonfire pit. At that time, the ghostly thing inside had secretly hung around his neck.
But at least Zhuowen could see that ghost, and now there was a similar ghost?
But why could Sorrow Youqing see it, but he did not feel it?
And Zhuowen also began to feel that the pain in his cervical vertebra was becoming more and more intense. If it was a piercing pain just now, it was now a heavy pain as if a large stone was pressing down on his cervical vertebra.
He determined that Sorrow Youqing was not lying to him, and there was indeed something hanging around his neck.
"You really think I can't deal with you?"
Zhuowen's eyes were biting cold, and he fully mobilized the power of his Spirit. Streaks of Spirit sword intent burned with purple gold flames, bursting out, and rushed straight to the back of his neck.
If Sorrow Youqing had not warned him, Zhuowen would not have noticed this, and would not have taken the initiative to attack the back of his neck. By the time he noticed it, it may be too late.
Now, since he knew in advance, he naturally would not hesitate to make the first move.
Streaks of Spirit sword intent spread out, turning into a blazing purple gold Spirit sword intent storm, and swept towards the space behind his neck.
There was a shrill scream from the back of his neck, and then Zhuowen found that the pain at the back of his neck had eased a lot, and the cold feeling all over his body gradually dissipated.
And he found that there was a wisp of greyish white gas at the back of his neck, and like an arrow shot from a bow, it shot into the distance, and then landed at the outermost periphery of the black bones, turning into a strange old woman as thin as a match.
