Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Plague Bone Transformation_1

For Grant Valley Master Thomas, he indeed had miscalculated.

However, even if he miscalculated one Ling Xiao, it didn’t matter. The boy was nothing more than a Half-step Grandmaster; perhaps it was because he had some Magical Treasures on him or had taken some pills, that he wasn’t infected by the plague.

"You flatter me, I am merely an ordinary Outer Disciple of the Moon Hua Sect. The only reason I was not infected by the severe toxic plague was because I took the pills bestowed upon me by the Medicine Hall Master Yang Dan Lin."

Ling Xiao intentionally continued along the lines of the other’s speculations.

In fact, this was a lie.

The reason why he was not infected by the plague was naturally because of the "Nine Devilish Divine Art: Plague Demon King" techniques.

"Is everything he said true?"

Wan Yan Jun looked towards Grant Valley Master Thomas and asked.

Seeing Ling Xiao suddenly revived, not only did he not show any signs of disappointment, but he was somewhat elated.

He knew that Ling Xiao had a good relationship with Yang Dan Lin, so he must have had some specially made pills that could cure their plague poison.

Chen Zui and Shang Guan Lei both revealed looks of joy.

In their wildest dreams, they had not expected to actually hope for Ling Xiao to be alive.

"Indeed, this valley master is truly a blockhead; insisting on not collaborating with us, he ended up having his soul devoured by the master and his body turned over to me for use," said Grant Valley Master Thomas indifferently. "However, it’s of no significance for you to know this, as it still won’t change the outcome of your deaths."

"Hmph, the four of us joining forces to kill you two won’t be a problem!"

Wan Yan Jun suddenly snorted coldly. His longsword quivered as he stabbed towards Grant Valley Master Thomas again.

"Ling Xiao, the antidote!"

While attacking, he shouted loudly at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao did not hesitate. With a flick of his finger, three pills flew into the mouths of Wan Yan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shang Guan Lei respectively.

The reason Shang Guan Lei was seriously injured was also due to the profound toxicity of the plague in Grant Valley Master Thomas’s palm strike.

As long as the intense poison was dissolved, there would be no problem.

However, the three of them didn’t know that the pills Ling Xiao flicked were nothing more than three ordinary True Essence Pills.

It’s just that the breath of the "Plague Demon King" had been integrated into these three True Essence Pills.

Allowing these three pills to completely absorb and suppress the plague within their bodies.

Of course, if Ling Xiao wished, he could also instantly release this plague poison, causing the three of them to die on the spot from the acute toxicity.

Ling Xiao did this because he had his plans.

The mention of a "master" from Grant Valley Master Thomas’s lips was enough to indicate that someone else was controlling Plague Valley.

He needed to conserve his strength for any unexpected needs.

The battle here was quite appropriate to leave to Wan Yan Jun, Chen Zui, and Shang Guan Lei.

"Demon Beings, now that we are no longer troubled by the plague, let’s see how you escape!"

Feeling his body return to normal, Wan Yan Jun’s sword light surged, and he was thrilled as he chased after Grant Valley Master Thomas. He shouted, "Chen Zui, Shang Guan Lei, you two take on that Ferocious Beast. Ling Xiao, take good care of yourself and don’t die."

He was not being kind-hearted but felt that Ling Xiao might still be of great use.

"Yes!"

Perhaps because the acute poison of the plague had been resolved, Chen Zui and Shang Guan Lei also seemed reinvigorated, temporarily putting aside their previous displeasure.

The two cooperated in attacking the Plague Beast, finally gaining the upper hand and leaving some wounds on its body.

The battle between Wan Yan Jun and Grant Valley Master Thomas was also gradually tipping in their favor.

This person’s strength was indeed formidable, at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer; had he not been poisoned with the plague’s toxicity, he would not have ended up as embarrassed as before.

Logically speaking, Grant Valley Master Thomas should be panicking by now.

But Ling Xiao noticed an eerie smile on his face.

Ling Xiao certainly didn’t think the man was merely bluffing—there must be something he hadn’t yet considered!

Ling Xiao glanced at the situation and realized that the battle didn’t require his intervention, so he went to inspect the conditions of the Underground Devil’s Cave with peace of mind.

Although Grant Valley Master Thomas was fighting Wan Yan Jun, his gaze would occasionally flicker towards Ling Xiao.

He was very astonished.

Earlier, when Ling Xiao had sent the pills flying, he had considered intercepting them, but he ultimately didn’t act on it.

It wasn’t because he was being kind-hearted and gave up, it was because he simply didn’t have time.

The opponent was too fast.

He was truly shocked. How could someone merely at the level of a Half-step Grandmaster, not even reaching the Transcendent Realm, possess such terrifying strength?

Speed, strength, accuracy, not a hair was off!

"Where do you think you’re looking, demon thing!"

Wan Yan Jun seized the opportunity and his longsword pierced Grant Valley Master Thomas’s shoulder.

An excited expression bloomed on his face.

However, the next moment, that expression turned into astonishment.

His weapon was a Precious Treasure Sword, yet it couldn’t even pierce the opponent’s skin.

It felt as though he had stabbed into a piece of steel, incredibly tough.

No, to be exact, tougher than steel!

After all, a Precious Treasure Sword would easily penetrate steel.

"Hehehehe, human, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Grant Valley Master Thomas once again issued his eerie, cold laughter as his gaunt hands suddenly reached out and grabbed Wan Yan Jun’s longsword.

Crack!

In that moment, the longsword actually developed several cracks.

This was a Precious Treasure Artifact!

Not an ordinary longsword, yet it was being crushed by this creature’s bare hands!

Wan Yan Jun quickly retreated, watching as pieces of his fractured longsword fell to the ground, his heart filled with both terror and confusion.

This was always the case with him, once the enemy was stronger than him, or used moves he couldn’t comprehend, he would become confused, unable to remain completely calm.

On the other side, Shang guan Lei and Chen Zui were also caught up in a difficult battle.

Although they had the upper hand against the Plague Beast for some time, strangely, as time went on, this advantage not only failed to convert into victory, but it turned into a disadvantage instead.

Something was amiss!

Even they, usually slow on the uptake, realized that something was wrong at this point.

Hum~~

A loud noise came from the depths of the earth, and strands of blood-red light shot through the ground.

These blood-red lights formed a twisted and peculiar skeleton pattern, emitting a strange and terrifying aura.

"This is the ’Plague Osteoporosis Array’!"

A name flashed through Ling Xiao’s mind instantly.

It couldn’t be wrong; his master, Yuan Venerate, had mentioned this evil Array Formation in the books he gave him.

The Array Formation was rumored to have been created by the Plague Demon King, one of the nine generals under the True Demon Emperor who rampaged unchecked thousands of years ago.

The Plague Demon King was exceptionally fearsome, and on the current Heavenly Dragon Continent, definitely no one could match him.

This Array Formation not only released terrifying plagues to absorb the enemy’s True Essence and vitality but also continuously corroded the enemy’s body until they turned to bones.

Initially, everyone thought that the plague was causing the decline in Wan Yan Jun and the others’ strength.

Now it seems that the plague is just one of the effects of this "Plague Osteoporosis Array."

"Hahahaha, no one will leave today; all of you must die here and become nourishment for my master!"
