Mortal Bones

Instantly, Huai Lu's panicked shout spread throughout Qingxuan.

"Zheng!..."

"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng!..."

After a brief silence, sword lights, accompanied by the piercing sound of swords breaking through the air, rushed up from the peaks of Yunlu Mountain.

The originally dark Yunlu Mountain was illuminated by the sword lights bit by bit.

And these sword lights soon flew towards Huai Lu from all directions like flocks of flying birds.

In the past ten years since Qingxuan Sect closed the mountain, the entire sect has been on alert all year round because of the increasing frequency of corpse demon disasters.

Because of this, when Huai Lu opened the communication talisman, the peaks reacted so quickly.

Seeing this, Huai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Liang Zhu with a look of surviving a disaster:

"Sister, thank you just now..."

"Bang!"

As soon as Huai Lu said "thank you", a ball of blood mist suddenly exploded from his chest.

With a look of astonishment on her face, Huaiyu looked down and saw a pale and skinny hand stirring in her chest.

Then, she watched her heart being grasped by the pale hand.

Then, a cold voice came from behind Huailu——

"I've got you."

Huailu turned her head and saw a ghostly man with sparse hair and a pale face, smiling behind her.

Huailu turned her head silently, and then looked at Liang Zhu not far in front of her with horror and said:

"Master...Senior Sister...Save...Save me!"

However, just as she said this, she saw the ghostly man stretched out his hand and squeezed her heart hard.

In an instant, a sharp pain that went deep into her bones made Huailu scream with a distorted face.

But soon, Huailu's mouth was tightly covered by the ghostly man's other hand.

When covering Huai Lu's mouth, the ghost zombie's sharp nails even pierced deeply into Huai Lu's cheek.

For a moment, Huai Lu was almost fainted from the pain.

Although Liang Zhu was extremely angry at this moment, he did not act rashly. He just stared at the ghost zombie with cold eyes and said: "If she dies, you must die too!"

The ghost zombie pressed Huai Lu's head on his chest, then narrowed his eyes and smiled at Huai Lu:

"Put down the sword."

How could Liang Zhu listen to him?

Not only did she not put down the green fish in her hand, but she held it tighter, and the red fire lotus under her feet kept blooming.

Seeing this, the ghost zombie gently stroked Huai Lu's cheek, and then narrowed his eyes and smiled at Liang Zhu again:

"Put down the sword, I will let her go, how about it?"

Liang Zhu was still unmoved.

The ghost zombie did not speak again, but just squeezed Huai Lu's heart hard, and Huai Lu, who had fainted, woke up immediately.

The pain then invaded her mind again.

Huai Lu screamed again.

Obviously, this ghost zombie man was deliberately torturing Huai Lu.

Liang Zhu was not very old after all, and after hearing this scream, she was a little shaken.

So she held the green fish horizontally in front of her, and then looked at the ghost zombie man without blinking and said:

"Pull your hand out of her chest first."

Although Huai Lu's cultivation was far inferior to hers, she was now in the realm of refining spirits. Even if she was seriously injured and could not be cured, there was at least a way to die.

So Liang Zhu still wanted to fight for her life.

The ghost zombie man smiled and narrowed his eyes and said:

"Don't play tricks. Within ten steps, no matter how strong your sword is, I can make her soul fly away."

Liang Zhu said coldly:

"You too."

The ghost zombie man then loosened his hand that was pinching Huai Lu's heart, and as Huai Lu screamed, he pulled his hand out of the blood hole on her back little by little.

Then, the ghost zombie man put his bloody hand on Huai Lu's head, smiled at Liang Zhu and said:

"It's your turn."

Liang Zhu didn't waste any words and immediately let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

Qingyu fell straight to the ground.

Although she could control the sword with her soul, it would take time, and it would be much faster than holding the sword with her hand in close combat.

The ghost zombie man obviously knew this and used Huai Lu to threaten Liang Zhu to let go of the sword.

"Bang!"

And at the moment Liang Zhu let go, the ghost zombie man slapped Huai Lu's back hard.

Immediately, Huai Lu's body flew towards Liang Zhu with a "bang".

The ghost zombie man controlled the strength of this palm very well, deliberately leaving Huai Lu with a breath, so that Liang Zhu could distract himself to save her.

As the ghost zombie man expected, Liang Zhu did not pick up the Qingyu sword, but flew to save Huai Lu.

Seeing this scene, the ghost zombie man immediately raised his mouth, and then snapped his fingers with a "click".

"Boom!..."

Almost at the moment when the snap sounded, eight blood rays rose from the ground.

In a flash, eight red-clothed flying zombies surrounded Liang Zhu and Huai Lu.

Seeing this, Liang Zhu recalled Qingyu and murmured in confusion:

"Why are there so many red-clothed flying zombies today?"

Although Qingxuan has been suffering from ghost zombies over the years, most of the time only four or five blood-clothed flying zombies appear in a month.

It is almost impossible for so many to appear in one go like today.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just when Liang Zhu was full of confusion, under the night sky of the ghost moon, the light of the communication runes lit up one after another.

Along with the brilliance of this communication rune, there were also calls for help from all directions——

"A large number of ghost zombies have appeared in the Yanlai Valley of the Western Mountains. Please ask Qifeng to come to your aid as soon as possible."

"A large number of ghost zombies have appeared in Dongshan Lion's Roar Forest, and several annexes have been breached!"

"There are a large number of ghost zombies in Beishan Huxiao Cliff. Tingyue Xuan is leading his troops to stop the attack. Please ask Qifeng to come to your aid as soon as possible."

After hearing these cries for help, Liang Zhu's heart suddenly tightened.

She turned her head and glanced behind her, and found that the sword light that was flying towards her like a flock of birds was being blocked by streaks of red light flying up from the ground.

Seeing this situation, Liang Zhu felt his scalp numb and secretly said:

"Could it be that these ghosts...could it be that they want to destroy Qingxuan today?"

"Zheng!"

At this time, Qingyu seemed to sense the urgency in Liang Zhu's heart, and turned into a line of green light and rushed straight up from the ground.

But before Qingyu returned to Liang Zhu's hands, he saw the ghostly man in white suddenly jumped from the air and punched Qingyu down hard.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, Qingyu was punched by the stiff man and flew backwards.

Liang Zhu, who was connected to Qingyu's mind, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood.

He had just broken through to the Sky-Wang Realm, and the realm was not yet completely stable. The killing power of the Divine Soul Sword was far less than that of a sword held in his hand.

"boom!"

The eight blood-clothed heads around him froze, as if they had noticed Liang Zhu's heartbeat, and immediately rushed towards Liang Zhu.

Although these flying zombies cannot perform magical powers, they can fly, and their bodies are as strong as those of warriors in the Martial God Realm.

If he couldn't kill him with one sword, Liang Zhu would definitely fall behind when they got into a close fight.

"boom!"

At this moment, Liang Zhu flicked his sleeves and threw out a mass of his true form, hitting the blood-clothed ghost zombie closest to him.

"boom!"

Guizheng, who was hit by the real fire, immediately fell from the air.

But before Liang Zhu could summon the second ball of real fire, a blood-clothed figure flew to a standstill, and a claw came from behind her heart.

"boom!"

Although he was protected by the sword, Liang Zhu was still staggered by the huge force.

Before she could stand upright, someone in blood-clothed clothes flew stiff and punched her chest hard.
