Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 583

The crimson shadow that Geon Noma had transformed into hesitated at the densely gathered silver rays. Taking advantage of this opening, the ugly woman swung her black club in the air, and layers of club shadows formed, fiercely descending upon the crimson shadow’s head.

Geon Noma was unable to move, feeling the immense pressure even before the attack came close.

As Lady Gyu attacked, Han Li pointed at the silver rings, and some of the silver rays transformed into a massive net, attempting to engulf the crimson shadow.

In response, the crimson shadow let out a low growl, and a bizarre scene unfolded. Suddenly, a strange light flowed through the crimson shadow’s entire body, causing its belly to bulge and then burst.

However, countless crimson fragments scattered in all directions, avoiding the club shadows and the giant net formed by the Arctic Origin Light, and then re-coagulated ten feet away.

The crimson shadow that Geon Noma had transformed into reappeared in a perfect state.

Han Li hadn’t expected to kill his opponent so easily, but he hadn’t anticipated that Geon Noma would evade in such a peculiar manner. It was as if he had transformed into a formless, true shadow.

This type of demonic art was mainly used by ancient demons, and it was known that ancient cultivators had suffered greatly from it. Seeing it in person, it was indeed very troublesome.

Although inwardly surprised, Han Li didn’t slow his offensive. He opened his mouth and spat out a purple fireball. The fireball grew larger as it cut through the air and rushed towards the crimson shadow.

Without stopping, he formed a hand seal to control the net made of Arctic Origin Light, and with a flick of his other sleeve, he unleashed thick golden lightning.

Lady Gyu also swung her black club magic treasure, creating more black shadows. The pitch-black club shadows flew in layers from all directions towards the crimson shadow.

In truth, when fighting within the Arctic Origin Light, it was difficult to recklessly release sword-type treasures. If one miscontrolled them, they could be shattered by the Arctic Origin Light before even harming the opponent.

That was why Han Li was using the Evil-Slaying Divine Lightning and the Violet Aurora Flame rather than the Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords.

Geon Noma, having escaped the crisis, gritted his teeth as he saw another powerful attack surging towards him. He bit his tongue, took blood into his mouth, and spat out gray light masses wrapped in crimson.

The lightning collided with them, emitting green smoke and disappearing.

At that moment, five white pillars of light rose, and skeletons appeared from within the demonic energy. Geon Noma had summoned the main bodies of the Five Corpse Heart Demons.

As soon as the five skeletons appeared, they spewed out cyan flames from their mouths. They looked ordinary, but two of the streams collided with the fireball transformed from the Violet Aurora Flame and didn’t budge.

The remaining three streams of flames formed a cyan flame barrier, blocking the giant net made of Arctic Origin Light. At the same time, black club shadows flew in from all directions, once again trying to restrain Geon Noma with pressure.

However, this time, Geon Noma didn’t explode his form. No matter how great the ability, the consumption of magic power would be enormous, so he couldn’t use it recklessly.

Moreover, having summoned the main bodies of the Five Corpse Heart Demons, he must have already devised another plan.

As Geon Noma used his consciousness to issue commands, the five skeletons turned their backs to him and spread their hands. Then, a grayish-white light barrier unfolded, enveloping Geon Noma and the skeletons entirely.

Kwarurung!

While the black club shadows and the grayish-white light flickered, a chilling, massive rumble was heard.

Han Li was satisfied with the power of the black club. The abilities of the tenth-grade demon beast, the Dark Rock Ghost, were extraordinary. It was clear that it hadn’t been able to fully display its power when fighting him due to a lack of magic power.

However, the grayish-white protective barrier emitted by the Five Corpse Heart Demons was also unimaginably sturdy. Even after all the black club shadows had disappeared, the grayish-white protective barrier remained intact.

Lady Gyu’s expression darkened as she saw this.

She glared at the protective barrier with a grim look, snorted, and opened her mouth. She released her essence, which was absorbed by the black club.

The club let out a long cry, and within the light, its form suddenly changed, transforming into a sharp, black axe.

The axe, floating above her head, emitted an increasingly sharp silver light as it grew, reaching nearly ten feet in size, accompanied by incantations.

As its size increased, it was as if the seal it had been holding was released, and the killing intent it possessed was so intense that even Han Li, who was far away, could feel the axe’s ferocity.

At this moment, Lady Gyu formed a hand seal with both hands and transformed into a giant seven feet tall.

‘Giant Technique! To be able to use such divine abilities without revealing her true form, she has already reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!’

Han Li’s heart sank at the bizarre phenomenon. However, he didn’t show it and looked towards the Arctic Origin Light, taking out a feather fan.

Lady Gyu spread her large palms and grasped the silver axe with both hands, then slowly swung it towards Geon Noma. Then, a silver crescent-shaped light appeared from the axe with a sharp sound, leaving a white trail as it flew, as if cutting through space.

Geon Noma, who was watching this from within the protective barrier, immediately changed his expression.

He was confident in the Five Corpse Heart Demons, but he had no intention of taking such a massive attack head-on. Without much hesitation, he grabbed a pure white dagger and cut off a joint of his index finger.

Before the finger could fall to the ground, Geon Noma spat blood, enveloping it, and the crimson light burst out, merging with his finger and transforming it into a crimson blade. The narrow, thin blade had a bizarre shape.

As the giant silver crescent flew towards Geon Noma, who was holding the bizarre blade in one hand, the crimson blade in his hand disappeared, blocking the light emitted from the axe.

Contrary to Han Li’s expectations, the crimson and silver lights fiercely clashed, and only a mournful wail was heard, with no other noise.

After a while, the Five Corpse Heart Demons gathered in the middle, and the five skeletons merged into one large, giant skeleton, blocking Geon Noma’s path.

Chaeng!

At that moment, the crimson blade shattered, and the silver axe’s light surged towards Geon Noma. However, the giant skeleton formed by the merged Five Corpse Heart Demons let out a bizarre laugh and spewed out gray energy from its mouth.

As the gray energy absorbed the crescent-shaped light, the light emitted from the axe surprisingly floundered as if it had fallen into water.

The silver axe light let out a short cry and was instantly absorbed by the grayish-white energy. The grayish-white light circled in the air and returned to the giant skeleton’s mouth.

“Foul Yin Demonic Qi! For the Five Corpse Heart Demons to be able to use such divine abilities, they must have been Nascent Soul stage cultivators in their previous lives. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to exert such power.”

The giant that Lady Gyu had transformed into made a rumbling sound as she looked at the grayish-white energy.

“It’s none of your business how I refined the Five Corpse Heart Demons. Since you’ve seen the power of the Foul Yin Demonic Qi, you might as well witness the other powers of the merged demons.”

Geon Noma sneered and stretched out his hand, sending a hand seal towards the giant skeleton.

The giant skeleton let out a low growl, its eyes turning crimson, and it leaped up, rushing towards the giant that Lady Gyu had transformed into. Each step it took caused the ground to rumble.

Han Li, watching this, threw the silver rings instead of the Three Flame Fan.

In an instant, a silver wave formed by the Arctic Origin Light rose, densely gathering towards the giant skeleton.

However, the skeleton let out a chilling scream and covered its entire body with a gray protective barrier, and the densely gathered Arctic Origin Lights scattered, unable to penetrate the barrier.

Han Li’s face hardened as he poured more magic power into the silver rings. Then, a strange thing happened. The silver rays intertwined in mid-air, transforming into dozens of silver chains and disappearing.

Pupupupupuk!

More than a dozen finger-sized holes appeared in the giant skeleton’s body, and some chains even pierced through the front of its head and exited through the back.

This time, the protective barrier made of Foul Yin Demonic Qi couldn’t stop the silver chains. However, Han Li’s face, which had briefly shown a hint of joy, darkened even further.

The giant skeleton trembled from the injuries, but as the grayish-white energy flowed again, the holes closed and were restored. A fatal attack that would have killed an ordinary cultivator was useless against the skeleton.

Han Li was convinced that he couldn’t deal with the Five Corpse Heart Demons without killing Geon Noma.

The giant skeleton wasn’t particularly fast, but it leaped and quickly reached Lady Gyu’s face.

The skeleton pulled out two ribs from its body, creating white blades and swinging them, and cyan flames appeared. In response, the giant that Lady Gyu had transformed into sneered and stepped forward, swinging the giant axe in her hand.

Kwakwang!

However, the blades made of the giant skeleton’s bones crossed and blocked the giant axe.

Lady Gyu didn’t show any change in expression until she suddenly shone her eyes and shouted.

“Tiger Devour!”

Then, a large demon beast’s head appeared on the surface of the giant axe. It was the head of a white tiger with horns on its head.

The demon beast opened its large mouth and bit off the skeleton’s head like lightning. It crunched and swallowed the skeleton’s head and then instantly disappeared into the axe.

The silver axe was not only a ferocious weapon in itself but also possessed a weapon spirit. Geon Noma, who had transformed into a crimson shadow, as well as Han Li, were both startled.

Lady Gyu didn’t stop there and swung the axe in her hand like a club, attacking the headless skeleton. The giant skeleton was shattered into pieces by the immense force carried by the sharp axe blade.

Lady Gyu, having stopped the axe, opened her mouth and spewed yellow flames towards the bone fragments on the ground. It seemed she intended to finish off the Five Corpse Heart Demons completely.

However, Geon Noma, who was watching this from afar, became calm instead. After a while, Geon Noma formed a hand seal and unleashed a demonic art.

From the bone fragments that were burning fiercely in the yellow flames, a cool gust of wind arose, and five black threads transparently floated up, escaping and exploding ten feet away. Grayish-white energies scattered like mist and then gathered again, giving birth to five skeletons once more.

“Demonic Transformation Without Form! To make the demon’s incarnation learn such divine abilities, aren’t you afraid of being counterattacked and devoured?”

“Is there a need to be cautious for fear of a backlash? As long as I’m careful, that will never happen!”

Geon Noma spoke as if it were nothing, but inwardly, he didn’t let his guard down while controlling the demonic art.

Suddenly, the five skeletons leaped up and merged into a giant skeleton again. And again, they pulled out two ribs and rushed towards Lady Gyu again.

This time, Lady Gyu didn’t summon the axe’s weapon spirit and tried to block the opponent’s attack with the giant axe blade. A fierce vibration and light erupted between the giant figures, shaking the entire Kunwu Mountain.

Han Li watched their battle intently.

Lady Gyu had recovered her magic power and grown in size, so she wouldn’t suffer much damage from the Arctic Origin Light, but she still wouldn’t be able to last as long as the giant skeleton. Therefore, it was best to make this battle quick.

Han Li’s gaze towards the crimson shadow in the distance became fierce. Sensing his consciousness, the silver rings above his head trembled and created silver chains that moved silently.

At this time, Geon Noma was also pondering how to deal with Han Li and Lady Gyu.

While he was pondering, the silver chains approached very closely, but due to the influence of the restrictions spread throughout Kunwu Mountain, he didn’t notice them. It was only when they were very close that he sensed their energy.

He hurriedly tried to dodge, but silver light flashed and pierced through the crimson shadow. Startled, Geon Noma looked down at the silver chains that had pierced his body and sneered.

It was very easy to recover from this level of injury. However, strangely, the silver chains didn’t disappear after piercing his body but emitted light.

“……!”

Geon Noma’s expression changed.

“It’s already too late.”

Han Li’s voice was heard, and the silver chains wrapped around the crimson shadow like a venomous snake, tearing his body apart with immense force.
