Chapter 287: Chapter 286: White Bone Mighty Demon

“Sword Qi Silk?!”

Seeing this scene, the elder surnamed Ji felt his scalp tingling, almost about to explode.

As a Golden Core Great Cultivator, how could he not know what Sword Qi Silk signifies?

Moreover, Gu Yuan’s Sword Qi Silk, with his Flying Sword turned into threads, was incredibly sharp, a superior technique of a Sword Cultivator, unstoppable in its brilliance!

He wanted to maneuver his Lifebound Magical Artifact, the short blade, to resist it, but unfortunately, his Lifebound Magical Artifact was entangled by the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, leaving him no time to do so.

However, sensing the terrifying killing intent contained within this silver thread, the elder surnamed Ji had no choice but to play his trump card.

He simply opened his mouth and spat out a small blue gourd.

This gourd, no more than an inch in size, looked delicate and exquisite and exuded an astonishing pressure, causing a sense of oppressive awe.

With a shake, the inch-high gourd grew to over a foot tall, spewing out a pale blue flame from its mouth, radiating an astonishing temperature.

Even Gu Yuan felt a sense of danger from the power contained within!

However, the flaw was that this blue gourd had a hole the size of an egg in its belly.

Because of this hole, the aura of the blue gourd was severely weakened, giving a sense of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Magical Treasure!

Gu Yuan immediately determined that this was a Magical Treasure.

A Magical Treasure is an instrument that surpasses a Magical Artifact. Gu Yuan’s Flying Sword Silver Flood Dragon Sword is considered a rare Top-grade Magical Artifact, with sixty-three Restrictions.

Such a good thing is rare; even a Golden Core Great Cultivator wouldn’t feel slighted using it.

Magical Artifacts are divided into Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Top Grade.

Below a Magical Treasure, there are seventy-two Earth Demon Restrictions, falling under the category of fifty-five to seventy-two Restrictions for Top-grade Magical Artifacts.

Gu Yuan’s Silver Flood Dragon Sword naturally falls under the Top-grade Magical Artifact category, yet it still has a considerable distance from the Magical Treasure grade.

Even if Gu Yuan breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, it would take three to five hundred years to refine this Flying Sword into a Lifebound Flying Sword, and there’s only a meager chance to refine it into a Magical Treasure!

Hmm, the possibility is very small, only a tiny sliver.

Even Gu Yuan’s master, He Ling True Master, uses a Top-grade Magical Artifact as his Lifebound Flying Sword.

Instead of a Magical Treasure.

This shows how rare and precious a Magical Treasure is!

Luckily, a Magical Treasure is still a Magical Treasure. This Magical Treasure is already damaged and dilapidated, with only a small part of its power remaining, so Gu Yuan naturally doesn’t need to fear it.

His swordsmanship has reached an exceedingly profound level, and the Sword Qi Silk, being known for its sharpness, was performed with finesse.

Furthermore, the silver Sword Silk transformed from the Silver Flood Dragon Sword’s power increased tenfold, and the Magical Treasure gourd was only partially intact, making fear unnecessary for him.

Crack—crack—

Exactly as anticipated, under the Sword Silk transformed by Gu Yuan’s Silver Flood Dragon Sword, the true flame spewed from the blue gourd was shredded into pieces.

Along with that, the Magical Treasure gourd was also shredded by the Sword Silk, emitting a harsh noise, with even a faint Sword Mark appearing on its surface.

Gu Yuan folded his hands, forming Sword Formulas, then the Hand Formulas changed, and that single silver Sword Silk instantly split into two, then into four, and then into eight, and eight into sixteen.

With the release of sixteen Sword Silks, the elder surnamed Ji was stunned. Then he saw eight of the Sword Silks trapping the blue Magical Treasure gourd, and the other eight charging directly at him.

At this moment, even as a Golden Core Great Cultivator, he had reached the end of his line.

Entangled by the eight Sword Silks, even if there were Body-Protecting Divine Techniques blocking it, he was directly dismembered on the spot, only managing to emit a sharp and urgent scream, and then he turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

Witnessing this scene, some cultivators in the entire hall were shocked with fear.

Many fled hastily, running for their lives.

Indeed, Gu Yuan was too ruthless, and his methods too straightforward and frightening.

A formidable Golden Core Great Cultivator, yet turned into a pile of minced meat in front of everyone, was difficult for those present to accept, generating fear in their hearts.

Characters like him are best kept at a distance.

However, at this moment,

A pale white hand, like mutton fat jade, crystalline and translucent, stealthily reached out toward Gu Yuan’s back.

A chilling sensation spread throughout Gu Yuan’s body!

At this time, it was precisely Gu Yuan’s most “fragile” moment.

Presently, both of his Spirit Pets were some distance away. The Silver Flood Dragon Sword had not yet returned, needing a certain amount of time to react, and Gu Yuan’s two predominant methods were temporarily unavailable.

Which meant that the timing of this strike was extremely well calculated.

As for Gu Yuan’s response, it was very straightforward and direct!

He turned around, raising his hand to punch, his entire palm enveloped in a layer of pitch-black mysterious light.

This punch was silent, without any momentum, with no roaring Gang Feng or powerful Qi, instead giving off a strange discomforting sensation.

Wherever it passed, even sound and fluctuations seemed to be swallowed and disappeared.

Then this punch confronted the white bone hand.

Black and white, punch and claw, they collided together.

Bang!

With a faint dull thudding sound, Gu Yuan took a few steps back, the black light of Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Techniques on his hand flickering uncertainly.

As for the owner of the white bone hand, he revealed his true form; it was a Skeleton Demon, entirely jade white like an exquisite sculpture made of mutton fat white jade.

Gu Yuan had previously seen Skeleton Demons, but those he had encountered before were ordinary ones, and with his current Cultivation strength, he could probably extinguish a few with just a spit.

But this Skeleton demon before him was different; its bones were entirely jade white and delicate, like they were carved from mutton fat white jade, making it look like a masterful artwork rather than a skeleton.

Very likely, it was an upgraded version of Bone Demon—the White Bone Mighty Demon!

Moreover, within its eye sockets, there were flickering pale red lights, shifting calmly, giving an eerie yet lively impression.

This Skeleton Demon clearly possessed some degree of intelligence!

Gu Yuan first scrutinized this skeleton, frowning, then glanced towards an artificial hill: “Who might you be?”

“Why not reveal yourself now?”

He had already discerned that this Skeleton Demon wasn’t a cultivator but a Magical Artifact refined by a Demon Cultivator, or rather a demonic head!

The true master was hiding in the shadows at this moment.

“Well! Well done, Gu Yuan, defeating a Golden Core Great Cultivator with Celestial Human Realm Cultivation, and now can even withstand my White Bone Mighty Demon with mere physical strength; more formidable than this old man had imagined!”

An elder with ordinary looks, very dark skin, thin build, face full of wrinkles, stepped out from behind the artificial hill.

This was the very black and thin elder who had previously let Gu Yuan feel a faint sense of unease!
