Chapter 2073
But she ultimately underestimated the obsession of the Immortal Ancient Dao Lord.
Even after suffering severe damage, the skeleton paused in mid-air before abruptly changing direction, its severed arm sweeping out with afterimages.
"Pfft-"
Blood splattered as Xia Jiuyou's slender body was severed at the waist, his lower body plummeting towards the Crimson Cloud Domain below, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.
Although she was a Qi Refining cultivator, her physical body could still be rebuilt with pills after being destroyed, but at this moment, surrounded by three powerful enemies, they obviously wouldn't give her that opportunity.
"Hahaha! You wretched wench! Go ahead and try to run away! Keep your madness in front of us!"
Bai Rong burst into laughter, his laughter filled with smugness, but at the same time, a jet of blood spurted from his mouth and nose—the forced activation of the Dao Lord's remains had a severe backlash on his soul, his face was as pale as paper, and his aura had weakened considerably.
Sanguang and Youruo were also in bad shape, with bloodstains at the corners of their mouths and rapid breathing, clearly having paid a heavy price.
"To kill you, we have sacrificed nearly half of our divine souls! Rest assured, we will let you die in endless torment!"
You Ruo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes as cold as knives, and together with Bai Rong, she swooped down toward the falling Xia Jiuyou, wanting to snatch the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold from her arms as soon as possible.
In the darkness of the void, a wisp of condensed purple-gold sword light lingered around Chen Xuan's fingertips. The sword light was contained and did not shine, but it had already locked onto the soul aura of the three people.
He had been waiting for the right moment—although the Dao Lord's skeleton was strong, the one who activated it was at its weakest at this moment, especially the moment they put away their treasures, their defenses would inevitably have a flaw.
Sure enough, Bai Rong and You Ru rushed to Xia Jiuyou's side, first waving their hands to recall their own skeletal fragments, and then carefully storing them in their storage rings.
Chen Xuan's gaze fell on San Guang, watching him also make a gesture to collect the treasure. The sword light at his fingertips trembled slightly, and with just a thought, it could explode and annihilate the three of them at the same time.
"Kill!" Just as San Guang was about to put the complete sternum in his sleeve, Chen Xuan shouted in his heart, and the purple-gold sword light was ready to be unleashed.
However, the next moment, a sinister and chilling word "kill" suddenly rang out in the void, bursting forth simultaneously with Chen Xuan's will.
The one who made the sound was none other than Sanguang, who was collecting the last treasure!
"Kill!" The word had barely left his lips when the complete Dao Lord's sternum, which was about to dissipate from San Guang's sleeve, suddenly burst forth. The pure white bone body abruptly disintegrated in mid-air, and the eight ribs, like arrows released from a bow, transformed into eight streaks of gray-black light, carrying a sharp whistling sound that tore through the void, heading straight for Bai Rong and You Ruo, who were diving towards Xia Jiu You with joy on their faces!
As Bai Rong looked at Xia Jiuyou, who was on the verge of death with only her upper body remaining on the ground, and was showing a smug smile, thinking about how to torture and kill this crazy woman afterward, the hair on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end.
You Ruo's delicate body trembled, and she turned around abruptly, only to catch a glimpse of several cold lights piercing through the air.
Both were top-tier Void Reversal Realm cultivators, possessing incredibly keen senses of danger. However, when they realized that the attack was coming from fragments of Dao Lord's skeleton controlled by San Guang, the joy on their faces instantly froze, replaced by unbelievable horror.
"San Guang! How dare you!" Bai Rong roared and retreated sharply. The Seven-Colored Immortal Gold was within reach, but he had no intention of seizing it. Now that the killing intent was approaching, saving his life was the priority.
"We have sworn a blood oath to Heaven, to advance and retreat together! Are you insane!" The color drained from You Ruo's face beneath the black veil, and her voice trembled with shock.
The most fatal mistake is when someone is caught off guard by someone else's intentions.
Previously, the three of them had exhausted most of their divine souls by working together to activate the skeleton. Now that the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold was within their grasp and they had the Heavenly Dao's oath as a "guarantee," the two of them had already let down their guard against their companions and focused all their attention on the treasure.
They never expected that the Three Lights would disregard the backlash from Heaven and ruthlessly kill their allies at this most critical moment!
"He can actually disassemble and manipulate a complete sternum... His understanding of the Dao Lord's remains far surpasses ours!" This thought flashed through Bai Rong's mind in a flash, and regret surged like a tide.
