Chapter 525: Danger
He opened his mouth and released a gust of wind, causing a sudden sharp wind to form. Then he released a burst of white flames onto his arms and scorched the melting skin. The pain was constrained by his mental technique and he performed one last action with brutal efficiency. A thin thread wrapped around his biceps and sliced deep, pulling down his arms and peeling off a few layers of his skin, isolating the internal structure from the outer portions that had started to resemble melting butter.
A bloody mess splashed onto the ground and he shot another gust of flame onto it. Brilliant ruby blood spilled to the ground at his sides, falling from his freshly skinned arms. Then a shimmery blue liquid appeared from the torn sleeves on his shoulders and flowed over his bloody arms. The shimmery liquid turned cloudy like ice and partially solidified, forming a sheath around his two arms. Then his enhanced healing ability quickly went to work, repairing the damage while the layer of Blue Icesilver kept him from bleeding out.
Very slowly, the person in the black cloak turned around to face him, and a pair of wrinkled hands reached up and pulled back the hood. An old and leathery face greeted him, covered with deep scars. The scars and loose skin made it look like she had saggy jowls, and one of her eyes had a milky cataract, while the other was clear and strong, filled with menace.
Damn it, how is she still alive?
Hei Bai. We meet again. Was it you who purchased that stuff at the auction? Seems youve been planning this for quite a few years.
The old womans face twisted with perverse pleasure, and she cackled loudly, Kekeke. Looks like Ive already collected on a little of the interest you owe me. You can stop pretending to be a human, you cant fool me. Im going to tear out your soul and torture it for a hundred years until you become a Spirit of Resentment. Your monstrous body will become my puppet, and Ill use it to kill every person youve ever known. Youll see that choosing not to be my partner has led you to a fate many times worse than death.
Especially now, when she was just standing there. Hed only barely brushed against it and suffered such a terrible injury yet now she didnt move at all. There were likely to be severe limitations and costs to using such a power.
At that moment, she lifted her hand and a series of interconnected femur bones appeared. From end to end they formed a staff as tall as she was, topped with a skull. An eerie green flame formed in the eyes of the skull and an apparition flew out of Hei Bais back. It was wispy and indistinct, a green ghost floating into the air and wailing with sorrow. She waved her other hand and a huge pile of bones appeared next to her. One of them flew into her hand, an elongated animal skull with a pair of large horns on the nose and forehead. The green ghost swooped downwards and was sucked into the skull, like a vacuum facing off against a small cloud of smoke.
Sage recognized the Yin Bone Adornment technique that hed found in Hei Bais possessions. The skull flew out of her hand and floated in mid-air. The pile of bones flew up off the ground of their own accord and started to attach themselves to the skull. A full skeleton was formed, looking like some sort of middle ground between a rhino and a horse. The large bulk and horns of a rhino, yet with the graceful neck and long legs of a horse. The skeleton smashed its hooves down against the ground and dirt blasted into the air. It took a few steps and then reared up into the air on its hind legs, releasing a deep and low pitched neigh.
At that moment, he also took action and he grabbed hold of the laws around him. His Qi resonated with the energy of the world and manifested as the Law of Corruption. He reached out for the power around Hei Bai and dampened it. That terrible energy had caused the skin to melt off his arms with just the barest contact. It corrupted his true nature and so, it fell under the purview of his law. He lifted his hand and reached out towards Hei Bai. Then he dramatically closed his fist, and the terrible aura coming from her was drastically diminished.
She felt the sudden change and shrieked in anger, What?! How dare you!
The skeletal rhino-horse waited no longer, throwing its upper body back to the ground and accelerating itself forward. It charged towards Sage at high speed, creating a thunderous sound as its hooves smashed the rock and dirt apart.
