Chapter 486 (1/2)

The uncompromising stand this youth took stunned the four members who were in a black robe. When all was said and done, this youth was their young master. They had orders to bring him back alive. If they had the guts to return with his corpse, they were afraid that they would be sent to the underworld with him.

Just when the four black robed personnel were in an awkward predicament, suddenly, two blood-red lights flashed. A horrible shriek could be heard. Two heads flew into the air. They were the heads of the people wearing a black hood. Blood sprayed into the air, filling the entire area with a b.l.o.o.d.y stench.

Two green lights shot out from the chest of the two who had their heads cut off. However, the green light was destroyed the moment they appeared. Sad cries were heard and the green light fell to the ground. They were Emerald Magic Birds which were sealed within the high-leveled personnel from the Dark Church.

Of course, since they were high-leveled personnel from the Dark Church, they naturally had defensive barriers which would be activated upon touch. However, the speed and strength of their attacker were too terrifying. The defensive barriers around them were just like a piece of paper in front of the enemy. It didn't even resist the attack for a second.

The rain grew bigger and bigger. Even the scenery in front of them turned blurred. The only scene in front of their eyes was that of their companions' corpses. Even though they had their heads chopped off, they were still standing upright. Not too far away from them, a figure gradually solidified. The figure wore a pitch black bone armor with purple veins on it. It held a blood-red death scythe and it had two strange demonic pupils.

”Long Two?” The youth muttered.

”Dry Bones, let's retreat……” When the other black robed member sensed Long Two's aura, he felt as though he was standing in front of the gates of h.e.l.l. After seeing what happened to his companions, the remaining black robed member started to tremble. His legs started to wobble and he wasn't able to finish his sentence.

Swish, a huge purple claw appeared out of thin air. It smacked the black robed member and he fell to the ground.

With great difficulty, the black robed member stood up. He subconsciously leaned towards Dry Bones. The only problem was that he didn't notice that the purple claw was summoned by Dry Bones.

”Soul Devour.” Dry Bones muttered a few words and a withered tree-like claw reached out towards the black robed member. The claw pressed against the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and started sucking the life out of him.

”Dry Bones, you……” Never in his wildest imagination would he have thought that his companion would be the one to attack him. He didn't guard himself against Dry Bones at all. After using his magic spell, Dry Bones absorbed a thin dark mist through his claw. The body of the black robed man started to wither. It turned into a dried corpse and fell to the ground.

After the black robed man fell, Long Yi and Liuxu appeared in front of that youth and Dry Bones.

”Dry Bones pays respect to Uncle Master.” When Dry Bones saw the appearance of Long Yi, he instantly became excited.

Long Yi smiled and patted Dry Bones' shoulder and said, ”Not bad. Your undead magic is really progressing at an extremely fast speed.”

”Everything is because of Uncle Master's pointers. Now, my body is gradually returning to normal. Uncle Master, thank you.” Dry Bones pulled up his s.p.a.cious sleeve to show Long Yi his arm. That skinny arm under his clothes seemed to look more like a normal human arm now. Long Yi believed that as long as he continued to cultivate according to Bite.Xiuge's magic book, his body would return to normal sooner or later.

Long Yi smiled and spoke a few words of encouragement to Dry Bones. Turning to the youth which who was staring at Long Yi with a blank expression, Long Yi asked, ”What's going on here?”

”Replying to Uncle Master, this person is our Dark Church's Young Master. The Pope ordered us to bring him back alive.” Dry Bones replied respectfully. However, he turned his gaze to the youth and a hint of killing intent flashed through his eyes. This young master saw everything. He saw how Dry Bones killed his companions. If he returned to the Dark Church and reported it to the Dark Pope, it would be difficult for Dry Bones to preserve his little life. Since Long Yi was here and seemed to be interesting in the young master, Dry Bones thought that it would be inappropriate for him to make a move. They might be old acquaintances for all he knew. As such, he didn't act rashly.
