The muscles of the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s hind legs were knotted like granite.
Tang Yinmeng bit the tip of her tongue. Driven by the sharp pain, she mustered all her strength and stabbed down fiercely.
Swoosh—
A puff of scorching green smoke shot up.
The dark purple light of the blade tip, like a venomous snake, burrowed into the wound.
“Awooo—”
The Bone Eater Stage Peak’s massive body trembled violently, letting out a shrill roar born purely of intense pain.
Its thick hind leg lashed out, unleashing terrifying power like a volcanic eruption.
Bang—
Tang Yinmeng was struck as if by a high-speed train, her entire body, like a kite with a broken string, was violently thrown into a pile of rubble more than ten meters away.
Her vision went black, and the dissection knife in her hand flew out, clattering into the pile of gravel next to Ling Chen’s feet.
“Ugh…” Tang Yinmeng struggled to get up, but her entire body ached as if her bones had come apart. The double impact of spiritual energy overdraft and mental backlash made her vision darken in waves, and her consciousness began to blur.
“Tsk. Still a bit too green,” a slightly regretful sigh sounded in her ear.
Tang Yinmeng’s eyes snapped open. She saw that Ling Chen had, at some point, appeared in front of her.
He stood with his back to her, his silhouette stretching long and oppressive under the blood moon.
He tilted his head slightly, his crimson pupils glancing at the faintly purple-glowing dissection knife on the ground, a cold, playful smile curling on his lips.
“However, the timing was good.”
He muttered to himself.
Before his words even finished—
“Roar—”
The completely enraged Bone Eater Stage Peak was already bearing down like an out-of-control meteor. Its crimson beast eyes were locked onto Ling Chen.
Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed. To be honest, after fighting for so long, he was also a bit exhausted, but… he still had one trump card left.
“Thunder Wings. Activate.”
The cold voice was like a judgment.
Buzz—
A violent, destructive dark purple electric arc suddenly exploded from behind him.
Crack. Crack.
Amidst the teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking, two dark purple bone wings, covered in savage bone spurs and flowing with violent electric arcs, brutally tore through the clothes on his back like the claws of a sleeping demon, unfurling defiantly.
“I didn’t want to use this originally, it’s just too hard on clothes.”
With a six-meter wingspan, jagged bone spurs, and crackling electric arcs, it ionized the air within a several-meter radius, filling it with a pungent ozone smell.
A terrifying electromagnetic pressure, like an invisible tsunami, instantly swept across the entire scene.
“Sonic Boom · Thrust.”
Ling Chen’s figure instantly vanished from his original spot.
Only a visible ring of milky-white sonic boom clouds remained, exploding with a roar.
The next instant—
A blood-red figure, entwined with violent dark purple electric arcs and accompanied by a deafening sonic boom shriek, slammed violently into the incoming stream of corrosive, poisonous breath, which contained a large amount of water vapor.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
The terrifying conductive effect erupted instantly.
The dark purple, violent electric arcs, like a flood finding its outlet, surged madly back along the viscous, water-rich venom, violently rushing into the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s gaping maw.
“Awooo—”
The Bone Eater Stage Peak let out a distorted, shrill shriek. Its massive body convulsed violently, like a giant beast struck by high voltage.
Dark purple electric arcs raged wildly within its body, tearing muscles, scorching internal organs, and even spewing out from its seven orifices.
Its corrosive, poisonous breath instantly ceased and dissipated.
Ling Chen’s figure had already pierced through the dissipating toxic mist, appearing directly in front of the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s massive head, which was defenseless due to pain and paralysis.
The bone spurs on the edges of his Thunder Wings were covered in fine cracks due to the conductive backlash, and even tiny bone fragments were falling, but he paid them no mind.
His crimson pupils coldly locked onto the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s crimson beast eyes, which were violently contracting in pain and fear.
The large dark-red blood scythe in his right hand was already raised high.
The dark-red blood light on the scythe blade and the dark purple electric arcs jumping on the Thunder Wings furiously intertwined and coiled, forming a destructive energy vortex.
“Blood Thunder · Slash”
The cold voice was like the judgment of the Grim Reaper.
The blood scythe, carrying the sharpness to tear through everything and the destructive power of violent lightning, transformed into a destructive Guangren (Light Blade) of dark red and purple electricity, fiercely slashing towards the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s vulnerable throat.
Pfft—
It met no resistance whatsoever.
The sharp scythe blade cut through the relatively thin grayish-white bone armor on the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s throat as easily as a hot knife through butter, severing the thick neck bone and cutting through the pulsing artery.
Beast blood gushed out like a bursting dam, splattering all over Ling Chen.
The Bone Eater Stage Peak’s massive body suddenly stiffened.
Its huge head slowly and powerlessly drooped.
Rumble—
Like a collapsing mountain, the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s massive body, covered in grayish-white bone armor, crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The earth trembled.
The Bone Eater Stage Peak, a Bone Eater Realm beast, had fallen.
The dust slowly settled.
Ling Chen slowly landed.
The light of the Thunder Wings on his back dimmed and slowly retracted back into his body. A piercing pain shot through the base of his right shoulder where the Thunder Wings connected.
His scapula was fractured.
The price of conductive backlash.
But his crimson pupils gleamed with an indescribable excitement and greed.
He slowly walked to the side of the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s massive corpse, squatted down, and dark-red blood slowly seeped from his right hand, condensing into a small, blood-red dagger.
He precisely cut open the Bone Eater Stage Peak’s chest, carefully slicing off a piece of dark-gold heart meat, tinged with a crystalline, jade-like quality, from beside its still faintly warm, massive heart.
The heart essence of a Bone Eater Realm beast contained its purest life origin.
And that completely energy-formed high-grade crystal core.
He carefully put away this still-warm piece of heart meat. Then his gaze fell on the dissection knife not far away, lying in the pile of rubble, still emitting a faint, eerie purple glow.
The woman’s face pattern on the blade now seemed to have come alive. Her lips curled into a satisfied yet eerie smile. The eyes, outlined by the pattern, even slowly shed two lines of dark purple liquid, like tears.
Ling Chen’s pupils constricted slightly.
He slowly walked over, bent down, and picked up the dissection knife.
It was cold to the touch. A chaotic will, full of resentment and greed, tried to burrow into his mind along the hilt.
“Hmph.” Ling Chen snorted coldly. The cold will of the Soul Jade Physique, like an invisible barrier, instantly crushed and dispersed that chaotic will.
The dissection knife instantly quieted down. The purple light on the blade also completely receded, leaving only the eerie woman’s face pattern, now with tears.
Ling Chen toyed with the dissection knife in his hand, his gaze slowly turning towards Tang Yinmeng, who was struggling to get up in the rubble pile not far away.
A cold arc slowly formed on his lips.
The chess piece… had been cultivated.
Next, with just slight psychological guidance and suggestion, even without a bloodline slave seal, he could make her loyal.
