Chapter 227 - 202: The Grandmaster’s Demise, Where did this Old Man Come From? _1

While Guan Shan was in a fierce battle with the green-haired old man, beast roars were incessant as a flood of alien beasts within Kunwu Mountain rushed towards these martial spirits.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianyang, Zhao Tianxing, Wei Changkong, and others, hidden among the alien beasts, each engaged with a martial spirit in battle.

There were too many experts from the Spirit Sect present this time.

The majority of them were unfamiliar to Zhao Tianyang and Wei Changkong.

The ones they recognized were only eight.

These eight were from various master-level feudal lords.

Among them, the family head of the Gao Family, the Ancestor of the Ouyang Family and the Ancestor of the Bai Family were all at the second-rank master cultivation level.

The remaining five of them were at the first-level master, they came respectively from the Gao Family, Ouyang Family, Bai Family, Li Family, and the Fang Family.

No member from the Qiu Family was present, so it appeared that besides their Ancestor Qiu Cao, who had embarked on the path of Martial Spirit, none of the others cultivated martial spirits.

As for the Fang Family’s Ancestor, this second-rank master, his whereabouts were unknown, presumably he had met the same fate as Li Xingyuan and had been eliminated.

The rest, who they didn’t know, were more than ten in number.

The Spirit Sect’s eight Great Protectors, two were at the third-level master and six were at the second-level master.

There were also seven more Spirit Sect strongmen who were at the first-level master.

If you exclude the monsters, there were twenty-three master-level strongmen in total.

Nine of them were at the second-level master.

In comparison, on the Kunwu Mountain’s side, excluding the Monster King, there were only twelve master-level experts.

Six from the Ding Family, three from the Zhao Clan, along with Wei Changkong, Li Xingchen, and Guan Shan.

And only five of them were at the second-rank master level.

The strength was completely unequal.

Luckily, this was Kunwu Mountain, and they also had an army of alien beasts.

The red-gold monkey let out a long howl, and droves of alien beast army rushed out, tens of hundreds at a time, charging the masters of the Spirit Sect with no regard for their own lives.

For a while, more than half of the Spirit Sect’s experts were held up.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianyang, Zhao Tianxing, Wei Changkong, and the others all had found their own opponents and were engaged in intense battles.

The existence of the master-level fighters was fine for the time being; they could temporarily hold off their opponents and neither side could gain an advantage.

But, the difference in strength was too great for these alien beasts. They were being killed constantly. Martial Marquis Level Five or lower alien beasts were virtually invincible, often they would be decapitated by the masters of the Spirit Sect in a single encounter.

Only the alien beasts at the Martial Marquis Level five or the Mutated Beast Kings of second rank could withstand a few blows.

Within a short time, the scent of blood permeated the air and the corpses of the alien beasts were strewn around, continuously falling to the ground.

In a brief clash, hundreds of various kinds of alien beasts had fallen, it was too tragic to bear.

However, the green-haired elder and Dongfang Shi were not satisfied.

Because, the pressure Guan Shan brought to them, was too great.

Coming from the 9th son’s direct line of King Ming, his combat power was truly astounding, not only was he practiced in top martial arts, but his level was also extremely high.

Even, the inner strength he mastered was more than one type.

This person, was either an Innate Martial Body or an Acquired Martial Body.

They needed other people to eliminate their opponents first, then come together to kill Guan Shan.

"Go full out, end it quickly!"

The green-haired elder bellowed.

Roar...

The Spirit Sect’s masters, one by one, let out roars similar to wild beasts, their faces distorted in agony, their muscles and bones wriggled, the black mist diffused, and all used their martial spirit force, their bodies mutated, and they showcased a variety of strange skills.

The alien beast herd was even less of a match. The enormous beast bodies were being easily ripped apart by the martial spirits. The scent of blood filled the forest, it was like a purgatory.

Stimulated by the killing and the scent of blood, these martial spirits became even more frenzied.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianyang, Wei Changkong and others, after their opponents had used their martial spirit power, also began to feel the pressure increasing, they were completely at a disadvantage and were falling back continuously.

Ahh!

A miserable scream echoed through the forest.

A first-level master of the Ding Family was stabbed through the heart by his opponent.

At the same time, his opponent, with disgusting tentacles all over his body, tightly wrapped him up, sucking his Qi-blood.

Everyone else watched helplessly.

Their own selves were hard to protect, how could they have the strength to help others.

"Use the Immortal Bone to suppress their Martial Spirit power."

Guan Shan bellowed.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Horn in his embrace flew out, radiating brilliant light in the thousands of meters, and suspended above his head.

The brilliant light enveloped the green-haired elder and Dongfang Shi.

The green-haired elder and Dongfang Shi howled incessantly, the black mist that was on their bodies, on meeting the energy of the Immortal Horn, started to shrink quickly.

The mutations on their bodies also retreated at a quick pace, as if they had met their nemesis and shrunk back into their bodies.

As the spiritual power waned, their combat power also declined naturally.

At the same time, Zhao Tianyang and a second-rank master from the Ding family, each had a piece of Immortal Bone appear in their hands.

This was prearranged by Guan Shan.

The inner strength was inputted, the Immortal Bone radiated a bright light. When the light shone on the martial spirits, their spiritual power also diminished.

But there were, after all, too few Immortal Bones, only two pieces, the range of illumination was limited. Just five or six martial spirits within the range were affected.

The other people’s situation was perilous.

"Immortal Horn? We were prepared for this."

The green-haired elder was calm and composed, the next moment, a pitch-black bone appeared in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was a rib bone.

The pitch-black bone suddenly exploded with intense fluctuations, a dense black mist spread about like a flood, the demonic qi was filled with dread. Within a radius of a hundred meters, it was like the Devil’s Domain.

"Demon Bone..."

Guan Shan’s pupils contracted.

Roar!

The green-haired elder and Dongfang Shi’s faces became even more distorted, the images of the martial spirits emerged, and the black shadow also emerged, the mouth wide open, swallowing the demonic qi, it let out a satisfying roar.

The Demon Bone appeared, counteracting the energy of the Immortal Horn, causing the Martial Spirit to erupt.

The strength of the green-haired old man and Dongfang Shi increased dramatically. For a moment, they fought Guan Shan to a standstill, and even seemed to somewhat suppress him.

"Old Yuan, take it."

Guan Shan suddenly flung the Immortal Horn towards the Golden Iron Monkey.

With the Demon Bone in play, the Immortal Horn in his hand was useless. It was better off with the Golden Iron Monkey.

After all, the Immortal Horn had a significant restraining effect on demonic creatures.

The Golden Iron Monkey swung its iron rod to block the attack of the Monster King, leapt up, caught the Immortal Horn, and then, like a dagger, stabbed at the Monster King.

Before it hit, the light from the Immortal Horn made the Monster King’s body tremble incessantly.

The filthy Qi on the Monster King’s body rapidly dissolved upon encountering the energy of the Immortal Horn, like ice and snow encountering fire.

Roar!

The Monster King roared, his eyes turning blood red, and his right claw shone with a black light. It seemed that inside his right claw, there was a section of black bone, both apparent and hidden, fused with its own bones.

Was it that it hadn’t fully integrated because not enough time had passed?

His right claw swung out, colliding with the Immortal Horn.

With a boom, the Monster King and the Golden Iron Monkey retreated at the same time, still evenly matched.

Another Demon Bone.

Guan Shan’s heart sank.

"Damn..."

Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Tianxing roared with anger internally.

They recognized that the Demon Bones used by the green-haired old man and the Monster King came from the Zhao Clan.

The Zhao Clan had a complete set of Demon Bones.

However, it was evident that the Demon Bones had been split up; the green-haired old man and the Monster King each carried a piece.

As for the other martial spirits, and even those that Zhao Tianyang and others covered with Immortal Bones, none used Demon Bones.

Demon Bones are very useful for demonic creatures, but for Spirit Communicators who practice Martial Spirits, they are harmful without benefits.

Martial Spirits liked Demon Bones.

Demon Bones could help suppress the uncontrollable turbulence of Martial Spirits.

However, Martial Spirits that were too strong were not a good thing for Spirit Communicators, and it was very likely to cause adverse transformations.

The green-haired old man and Dongfang Shi, with their high level of cultivation and control over Martial Spirits, could occasionally use Demon Bones and still have the ability to suppress adverse changes.

But it was hard to say for the others.

Misusing the Demon Bones might cause an immediate and complete transformation into demons.

The battle continued, as did the fighting.

More accurately, it was slaughter that was continuing.

In the mountains and forests, hundreds of various alien creatures were already lying down.

On the Spirit Sect’s side, of the nine masters of the second rank, Zhao Tianyang and Wei Changkong had tied up five, leaving four.

These four were insurmountable entities for the alien beasts.

They slaughtered wherever they went, leaving behind dead alien beasts.

With the alien beasts being defeated, they could no longer block the powerful masters from the Spirit Sect.

Swoosh!

One of the second-rank Master-level Martial Spirits broke through the encirclement of alien beasts and charged towards Wei Changkong.

Wei Changkong, working near Zhao Tianyang, was bathed in Immortal Light, making it difficult for his opponent to exploit Martial Spirit’s power while still holding the opponent back.

However, even without the use of Martial Spirit power, the heritage received from the Martial Spirit often resulted in deep martial arts understanding and powerful strength, enough to suppress Wei Changkong.

Another Second-rank Master joined in, making Wei Changkong fall back continuously. He was caught off guard when his chest was grazed by a Martial Spirit’s blade, making him bleed profusely.

At this time, besides this Second-rank Master Martial Spirit, other Martial Spirits also began to break through the encirclement of the alien beasts one after another.

Some Martial Spirits attacked the ten alien beast kings.

One Second-rank Master Martial Spirit broke through the encirclement and quickly charged towards the first-rank White Tiger.

This Martial Spirit, using its Martial Spirit power, transformed into a giant bat, moved extremely fast and appeared beside the White Tiger in an instant. Its pair of sharp claws pierced the belly of the White Tiger and tore it in half.

This was the first fallen alien beast king.

Roar, roar...

The Golden Iron Monkey and others let out mournful roars, summoning all their power to attack their opponents.

The life force of the demonic creatures was too strong, and even if hit by the alien beast king, they recovered quickly, making it extremely hard to kill them.

The number of Martial Spirits breaking out of the alien beast encirclement was increasing, and not just the Second-rank Masters. The First-rank Masters also began to break out of the alien beast encirclement.

Spurt!

Zhao Tianmu of the First-rank Master of the Zhao Clan was attacked from behind by a Martial Spirit and beheaded.

One after another, the strong ones on Kunwu Mountain’s side fell, and the situation became increasingly passive.

Cough, cough...

Just then, a coughing sound was heard.

The sound wasn’t loud, but it rang in everyone’s ears.

"That is..."

Many people saw an old man with thin hair slowly walking from the depths of Kunwu Mountain.

He was eating Martial Food as he walked, stuffing it into his mouth.

However, his steps were not stable. He wobbled as he walked, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

"Master..."

Guan Shan’s eyes lit up.

Roar! Howl! Caw!

The alien beasts on Kunwu Mountain let out excited roars and their morale surged; they charged fearlessly at their enemies.

"Where did this old man come from?"

One of the Spirit Sect’s Masters sneered.
