Chapter 794: Chapter 788 Mutation

The Saint’s skeleton was entirely pitch black, not the black of decay but that of a lustrous, steel-like gleam.

Ye Xuan still harbored some doubts; however, as soon as he saw the transformation of the powerful skeleton, his pupils shrank sharply.

As Master Wu Xuan and Elder Gui rapidly closed in on the skeleton, the Saint’s skeleton suddenly lifted its head; from the hollow eye sockets burst forth a sinister red glow!

Something was not right with the Saint’s skeleton!

Ye Xuan instinctively sensed danger.

"Those who trespass here shall die!"

The Saint’s skeleton slowly lifted its head, and, from the empty eyes, a blood-red glint flickered as an old and hoarse indifferent voice softly echoed throughout the great hall.

As the hoarse and ancient voice slowly fell, everyone’s complexion changed, clearly not expecting such a turn of events.

"What’s there to fear? It’s just a dead man. No matter how strong he was, he has fallen. Could he still turn the heavens upside down?" The tense atmosphere solidified for a moment before Elder Gui sneered, breaking the silence.

Hearing this, the tense look on Master Wu Xuan’s face also disappeared for the most part. Elder Gui was right; it was just a skeleton. Even if some consciousness remained, could it really cause an uprising?

"Let me take this most valuable head first!"

Elder Gui smirked chillingly. Of the entire Saint’s skeleton, the head was most valuable, potentially providing the most energy.

"This old ghost is about to succeed."

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed. How could a Saint’s skeleton match up to a genuine Martial Saint Strong Person? This old guy was getting quite the deal.

"Tch!"

However, in the next moment, the scene unfolding before Ye Xuan left him completely dumbfounded.

Accompanied by a swooshing sound, the skeleton had barely lifted its palm when it tore through the space before it. As the arm went through the shattered space and reappeared, it was already in front of Elder Gui.

This skeleton could actually traverse space in this place!

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel astounded.

Bang!

In that split second, the Saint’s skeleton’s palm heavily slammed into Elder Gui’s chest, tearing off a large chunk of flesh and skin, almost ripping out the heart—horrifically gruesome.

"How is this possible?"

Elder Gui was also utterly shocked, struggling to believe what he was seeing. He had tried before; this space could not be broken, much less traversed at will. But now, this Saint’s skeleton seemed to do it effortlessly.

Had they all become sitting ducks, helplessly awaiting their doom?

"Not good."

Master Wu Xuan quickly started to retreat. In this situation, who could be an opponent to this Saint’s skeleton?

Not just Master Wu Xuan, Ye Xuan too had begun to contemplate retreat. The Saint’s skeleton was too formidable, invincible by force.

However, the Saint’s skeleton didn’t seem willing to let them off so easily. Barely had their figures begun to withdraw when the opponent moved again, disappearing from sight.

Bang!

Ye Xuan felt a tingling on his scalp, and the next moment, Master Wu Xuan, not far away, was spitting blood and flying backward. A deep scratch appeared on his neck, almost wrenching his entire head off.

In just two moments, two Fourth Grade Martial Saint level experts were severely injured one after the other.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly; next, it seemed likely that he would be the target of the Saint’s skeleton.

As he expected, just as Master Wu Xuan was heavily injured, a terrifying aura had already locked onto him.

Before he could react, the space before him twisted open, and the Saint’s skeleton lashed out with its claw fiercely.

Ye Xuan was about to defend himself, but suddenly, everything went dark, and the scent filled his nostrils; Ling Qianxue’s slender, delicate body stood in front of Ye Xuan.

"What are you doing?!"

Ye Xuan’s expression suddenly darkened; he wasn’t the match of this Saint’s skeleton, so what was Ling Qianxue doing with such an action, seeking death?

However, a shocking scene unfolded as the bony claw, which seemed capable of tearing apart any Sacred Body, came to an abrupt halt in front of Ling Qianxue, not continuing its attack.

At the same moment, a strange rune suddenly lit up on Ling Qianxue’s forehead, and a beam of light burst forth, directly entering the palm of the Saint’s skeleton.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

A sound like electricity scattering erupted, and after the beam of light penetrated, it quickly delved deep into the body of the Saint’s skeleton. Following this, the skeleton let out a piercing cry, as if in extreme pain.

Wisps of dark mist rose from the skeleton’s body, wriggling like maggots.

"What’s going on?"

Ye Xuan was filled with surprise; it looked as if Ling Qianxue was purifying the Saint’s skeleton?

"I’m not sure, it seems to be related to the power inside me."

Ling Qianxue furrowed her brows; clearly, she didn’t know the full story either.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan could only watch silently. If anything abnormal happened, he would intervene immediately.

As the purification process continued, the blackness on the skeleton slowly faded, replaced by a jade-white color.

With such a change, the blood-red in the eyes of the Saint’s skeleton also quickly dimmed, seemingly losing the previous ferocious and crazed aura.

Yet just as Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, the skeleton suddenly moved; its claw swiftly reached out and grabbed Ling Qianxue. Then, like a bolt of lightning, it fled back towards the throne.

Boom boom boom!

The wall behind the throne suddenly cracked open, and then the Saint’s skeleton took Ling Qianxue and darted inside.

"Damn it! Stop right there!"

Ye Xuan’s expression changed; even he hadn’t expected the Saint’s skeleton to suddenly act, kidnapping Ling Qianxue before he could even react.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan’s reflexes were fast; as soon as the Saint’s skeleton made its move, he immediately followed and broke into the chamber just as the wall was closing.

"That guy actually followed him in!"

The remaining Elder Gui and Master Wu Xuan - both looked somewhat changed. They too wanted to go inside and see what would happen, but before that, they needed to heal their wounds.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was in hot pursuit of the Saint’s skeleton, having entered the deepest part of the ancient hall. Despite his relentless chase, the skeleton seemed only interested in Ling Qianxue, paying no mind to his pursuit.

"What on earth is this guy trying to do?"

Ye Xuan’s complexion looked a bit grim. Given the power of the Saint’s skeleton within this hall, if it intended to harm Ling Qianxue, it would certainly be fairly easy.

However, since the Saint’s skeleton was intent on taking Ling Qianxue into the deeper parts of the hall, it probably wasn’t to kill her—at least, there likely wasn’t a threat to her life for the time being.
