Chapter 71 Unmelting Bones?

"Nine Yin Mystic Maiden Zombie?"

The gray-robed Taoist's expression changed slightly.

He stared at Shi Jian with a gloomy gaze and said coldly, "How should I address you, fellow Daoist? Where did you obtain this female zombie?"

Shi Jian glanced at the other party and saw that he was at the peak of the Earth Master level, and should be just short of breaking through to the Celestial Master level. He was a half-step Celestial Master.

"I am Shi Jian, a disciple of Maoshan."

"As for this female zombie, I obtained it from a cave in a zombie forest."

Shi Jian's words caused the black-robed Taoist's expression to change again.

"Maoshan, Shi Jian?"

"Zombie Forest?"

The gray-robed Taoist's aura surged, and his magical power coalesced.

His eyes were sinister as he spoke, "So this is Maoshan. So you are Shi Jian, the eldest disciple of Maoshan. Did you kill my disciple?"

"good."

Shi Jian nodded slightly in acknowledgment, there was no need to hide it.

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed Taoist's eyes turned icy cold, and he stared at Shi Jian with murderous intent.

"Very well, you have successfully angered me."

The gray-robed Taoist sneered, "Others may fear your Maoshan sect, but I do not. Today, I will kill you, the chief disciple of Maoshan, and refine you into a Taoist corpse."

"I'm afraid you don't have that ability."

Shi Jian laughed dismissively.

To refine him into a Dao Corpse, that's quite a bold statement.

Not to mention that the other party is not even a Celestial Master, how dare he speak so arrogantly in front of him, a peak Celestial Master?

You'll find out soon enough whether you're capable or not.

The gray-robed Taoist snorted coldly, formed a hand seal, and unleashed a burst of magical power onto the bronze coffin in front of him.

Ding~~!

The bronze coffin vibrated, producing a crisp sound.

The surface of the bronze coffin was covered with dense runes, each one glowing brightly.

Then the bronze coffin opened, and a terrifying aura emanated from it.

"Come out and let the Taoist priests of Maoshan see how powerful you are."

With a low growl, a skeleton slowly floated up from the bronze coffin.

It was a corpse dressed in an imperial robe, which was tattered and looked quite old.

The corpse was nothing but bones, with a layer of bluish-red flesh remaining on the head, and the eyes glowing with a bluish-red light, making it look extremely terrifying.

"Undying bones?"

Shi Jian narrowed his eyes, looking at the corpse in front of him with surprise.

That aura was extremely powerful, several times stronger than that of an ordinary flying zombie, and it faintly possessed a powerful, indestructible presence.

An emperor's corpse is actually transforming into an incorruptible bone.

There is an imperial tomb hidden here, and the emperor's remains inside are about to become incorruptible.

"Shi Jian, look carefully. This is an emperor from two thousand years ago. After more than two thousand years of nurturing and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, he is about to evolve into an incorruptible body."

The gray-robed Taoist priest was laughing wildly, somewhat carried away by his own smugness.

He sneered, "With this half-step Undying Bone, what do you have to fight me with?"

"With just your flying zombie form, the Nine Yin Mystic Maiden?"

The gray-robed Taoist said disdainfully, "Although I don't know how you raised her, if she had evolved to the level of a drought demon, she might still have a chance. It's a pity she's just a flying zombie."

Shi Jian looked at the imperial skeleton before him, and although he was surprised, he was not worried at all.

It was nothing more than the half-decomposed remains of an emperor.

Even if he had reached the level of "unyielding bones," he was confident he could still kill his opponent.

This confidence stems from strength; as a peak Celestial Master, he is just one step away from ascending to the ranks of immortals.

He has already reached the pinnacle of human achievement, the absolute ceiling of human potential.

Even if an immortal descended to earth, he could still achieve a one-for-one exchange, so why would he fear a mere half-step Undying Bone?

"Ha...is this the source of your arrogance?"

Shi Jian sneered, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

That look in his eyes really bothered the gray-robed Taoist.

"Insanity!"

The gray-robed Taoist was enraged and roared, "Go! Tear them to pieces!"

"Roar~~"

The emperor's skeleton roared and spewed out a cloud of black gas.

Shi Jian remained motionless, while the red-clad figure beside him opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black and red poisonous gas.

Boom~~

The two streams of poison gas collided, immediately causing an explosion.

The entire cemetery shook violently, and the ceiling began to collapse and fall.

"kill him."

The gray-robed Taoist roared in exasperation.

The emperor's corpse tried to rush over and kill Shi Jian time and time again, but was stopped by the red-clad female zombie each time.

The two sides clashed fiercely, and the moment they clashed, the entire tomb chamber was blown apart.

Boom~!

The ancient tomb collapsed.

The emperor's skeleton was blasted away by the red-clad female zombie, and the two of them pierced through the ground and soared into the sky.

Shi Jian and the gray-robed Taoist made their moves at almost the same time.

Bang bang!

Boom! !

A terrifying explosion rang out, the ground cracked open, and two figures rushed out one after the other.

The gray-robed Taoist priest rushed out of the collapsed tomb in a disheveled state, followed by Shi Jian, who was holding lightning in his hand.

"Lefa?"

Upon seeing the lightning, the gray-robed Taoist's expression changed drastically.

He dodged in panic, but was struck by an arc of electricity, and his body froze on the spot.

"Five thunders rectify the law, hurry~!"

Shi Jian crossed his hands, condensing a ball of lightning that struck the gray-robed Taoist.

"what..."

Thunder exploded, and the gray-robed Taoist's robes turned to ashes, revealing his emaciated body covered with dense black runes.

"what?"

Shi Jian looked at the other person in surprise and asked in astonishment, "You actually inscribed corpse runes on your body, do you want to become a zombie?"

"No, you want to integrate the Undying Bone into your own body, to become one with the corpse?"

He suddenly realized what the other party was planning.

The gray-robed Taoist sneered, "Well done, a top disciple of Maoshan. You actually saw through me."

"If it weren't for your interference, I could have completed this step in another three to five years. By then, once the bone-indestructible cultivation is complete and the human and corpse are united, I will be the most powerful being in heaven and earth."

"It's all your fault for ruining my plans."

The gray-robed Taoist priest, with a sinister look in his eyes and a murderous aura, unleashed his evil magic, preparing to kill Shi Jian and refine him into a Taoist corpse.

"The idea is good, but unfortunately you're destined not to succeed."

Shi Jian scoffed, "Good idea, but it's impossible to succeed."

One is that it is simply impossible to do in the Dharma-ending Age, but there is a great chance of success in ancient times or even in the recent ancient times.

Now, he's destined to fail.

"Boom~~!"

"Come and fight."

The gray-robed Taoist roared, black magical power surging from his body as he formed hand seals and attacked Shi Jian.

"Five Thunderbolts, Five Thunderbolts, heed my command!"

"Golden Light and Divine Thunder, swiftly descend with your divine power!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck, carrying a golden light, hitting the gray-robed Taoist.

With a single blow, he sent the gray-robed Taoist priest plunging into the ground.

Endless flashes of lightning, yet the gray-robed Taoist was nowhere to be seen.

"Binding rope for corpses, soul-destroying nails."

Suddenly, the soil behind them cracked open, and the gray-robed Taoist emerged, throwing out a gray-black rope that bound Shi Jian.

Then he drove in three nails, aiming them at Shi Jian's forehead and temple.

This is the Soul-Destroying Nail. Once hit, your soul will inevitably be damaged, and it may even pierce through your soul, causing severe injury and potentially annihilating you on the spot.

"Open~"

Shi Jian coldly shouted, and lightning erupted from his body.

With a deafening roar, thunder roared and lightning raged in all directions.

With a single strike, the rope binding the gray-robed Taoist was burned to charcoal, and the man, along with the nails, was blasted more than ten meters away.

"Cough-cough-"

"how is this possible?"

Amidst the ruins, the gray-robed Taoist priest coughed up blood incessantly, staring at Shi Jian with a grim expression.

He couldn't believe that the opponent's lightning magic was so powerful.

"Is this all you can do?"

Shi Jian was a little disappointed; he had wanted to see just how capable the other party was.

The result was a huge disappointment.

"Fine, I'll just send you on your way."

Shi Jian shook his head and said he would not hold back any longer.

He conjured a lightning sword by rubbing his hands together, and in a flash, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and attacked the gray-robed Taoist.

Danger!

The gray-robed Taoist's pupils dilated, and he instinctively wanted to avoid it.

But it felt as if my feet were rooted to the ground and I couldn't move, my body was imprisoned by an invisible pressure.

"No—" the gray-robed Taoist screamed.

He could only watch helplessly as lightning pierced through his body, and he was engulfed by endless thunder.
