Chapter 514: Chapter 509: Mysterious Old Man

The radiance of the Evil Dragon Jade practically penetrated the entire Evil Dragon Temple, seeping upwards to even affect the sky outside, where black vortexes appeared, stirred into chaos by this evil force.

"Hmm? Such intense evil fluctuations."

At that moment, not far away, an elder clad in mysterious black robes noticed the disturbance. His pupils flickered slightly before he vanished in a flash, leaving no trace behind.

"This is actually an Evil Dragon Temple."

Outside the Evil Dragon Temple, a blurry figure emerged, precisely the black-robed elder, whose face revealed a look of surprise. However, a hint of delight soon appeared in his eyes as well. The fame of the Evil Dragon Temple was well known to anyone with a bit of insight.

"This..."

Xue Lingzi and Fei Yue were somewhat taken aback as they stared at the scene before them, observing the sea of dragon bones teeming with life. A chill surged in their hearts; the scale of this army of Evil Dragon Clan skeletons was shockingly overwhelming.

However, at the same time, they looked at Ye Xuan with some admiration. This guy was really prescient, and they had no idea how he had known about it.

"Don’t look at me. I just said this matter wasn’t simple. I didn’t mention that the Evil Dragon Jade was controlling an army of skeletons. Let’s move quickly and prepare to escape."

The scene before them was beyond Ye Xuan’s expectations. What a joke—so many Evil Dragon skeletons. Even if everyone here combined forces, they couldn’t possibly kill them all; they would be consumed alive in this place.

"Okay!"

Xue Lingzi and Fei Yue realized that Ye Xuan wasn’t joking and immediately sprang into action, alert and ready.

Shoo, shoo, shoo!

At that instant, the dragon skeletons entrenched on the ground suddenly burst forth, sweeping over like lightning.

"Let’s go!"

Ye Xuan felt a tingling in his scalp, made a snap decision, and dashed toward the exit of the great hall.

However, those dragon skeletons, as if possessing a sense of spirit, swarmed over just as Ye Xuan moved, blocking the passage of the group.

"Open!"

Not wanting to be entangled here any longer, Ye Xuan twisted his wrist, readied the Thunder Brilliance Bow, then gathered blazing arrows on the bowstrings which tore through the air violently.

Puff, puff, puff!

The dragon skeletons collapsed upon the impact, pierced by the arrows, falling back to the ground, only to rise again in an instant, their aura hardly diminished.

"This is too eerie."

Ouyang Tie, watching the skeletons rising again, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. Considering this, these dragon skeletons seemed to possess an undead ability. What was the point of fighting, if continuing the struggle here would only result in their demise?

"The entire Evil Dragon Temple is under the control of the Evil Dragon Jade. If we can’t break out, we must start with the Evil Dragon Jade itself,"

Ye Xuan put away the Thunder Brilliance Bow and switched to the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword to fend off the incoming dragon skeletons, speaking to the others.

"I’m afraid that won’t work. The Evil Dragon Jade is heavily guarded by those skeletons. The possibility of breaking through so many layers of defense to get it is extremely low."

Xue Lingzi shook his head, not to mention the strong power of the Evil Dragon Jade itself. Just the dragon skeletons released now were enough to give them a hard time; thinking about capturing the leader in hopes of defeating the followers was almost impossible.

"Let’s break through with all our might."

Ye Xuan slashed away the oncoming Evil Dragon bones with his sword, then a pair of dragon wings spread behind him as he flashed and slashed out with another sword.

At that moment, in other parts of the hall, other people were also fiercely battling the Evil Dragon bones—countless bones continually fell from the air, then, just moments later, the bones regrouped and rejoined the battle circle.

On the side of the human fighters, casualties were mounting.

"Damn it!"

Yun Xiao Saint’s eyes dimmed slightly, regretting his miscalculation. He had thought the Evil Dragon Jade was within easy reach, but not only had he not obtained the item, he had instead fallen into this dire situation. However, with his strength, the surrounding Evil Dragon skeletons could do him no harm.

"The three Saints, Elder Shangguan, we can hardly hold them off any longer."

Only over ten people remained from the Daluo Heavenly Palace, many of whom were merely persevering, with only the top tier in strength being able to withstand the impact of the Evil Dragon bones.

"Form a defensive formation."

Amidst a commanding shout from Yun Xiao Saint, the forces from the Daluo Heavenly Palace sprung into action, forming a circular array to defend with all their might.

Others, from the Gentleman Sect and the Crown Prince Party, also formed their own team battle formations to withstand the onslaught of bones.

Ye Xuan was gradually moving towards the exit of the hall, but the progress was exceedingly slow due to the troublesome Evil Dragon bones making it difficult to advance even an inch.

This was after Ye Xuan had previously seized the initiative, positioning five people relatively close to the hall exit, otherwise, their chances would have been even slimmer.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, among the Evil Dragon bones, a half-human, half-dragon creature drew a bone bow and swiftly shot a dragon bone arrow targeting Fei Yue’s back.

Clang!

Just as the dragon bone arrow was about to hit Fei Yue, Ye Xuan’s Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword blocked behind Fei Yue, deflecting the arrow.

"Thank you, I owe you my life."

Fei Yue gasped heavily—if that dragon bone arrow had hit her, even if it wouldn’t have been fatal, it could have caused her to lose her balance. Falling down could have led to dire consequences and potentially trapped her in a desperate situation.

Thus, her saying she owed Ye Xuan her life was not an exaggeration.

"This doesn’t look good."

Xue Lingzi frowned, facing the relentless surge of Evil Dragon bones, feeling the situation growing tricky. Escaping the hall seemed extremely difficult.

Who would have guessed that the Evil Dragon Jade could trap so many of them here in a blink of an eye?

Boom!

Just then, the entire hall suddenly shook violently—a dazzling column of light surged in through the doorway, sweeping dozens of Evil Dragon bones out, and then an elderly man in dark clothes slowly entered.

As this elder stepped into the hall, a surprised voice also resonated.

"It really is the Evil Dragon Temple, housing something like the Evil Dragon Jade. Youngsters, this is not something you can subdue."

The gaze of the elder in dark clothes passed through the Evil Dragon bones and landed on the Evil Dragon Jade, and then he spoke to himself with a gleam in his eyes.
