Chapter 1232: Weapon Unsheathed

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“This skeleton is a warlord? A weapon?”

Lu Li blinked in confusion. Looking at the skeleton that had nothing special, Lu Li felt Tian Lingzi was insulting his intelligence prowess.

Lu Li would find it easier to understand if this skeleton was like the immortal’s body with powerful formations and strength.

This was just a skeleton. There didn’t seem to be any runes or formations embedded in the bones. Lu Li believed he could punch the skeleton into pieces easily.

At the very least, say the bones were hard, so what? What could a skeleton do? There was no formation to supply power. Was Lu Li supposed to smash his enemies to death with bones?

Once again, Lu Li read the hide scroll word by word. After reading it three times, he still could not believe this.

According to Tian Lingzi, this skeleton had great combat power. However, to activate the skeleton, it would require a Blood Crystal. Each Blood Crystal could only enable the skeleton to launch one round of strikes. Therefore, the skeleton could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary…

As for the actual strength of the skeleton, Lu Li did not know because it was not specified on the hide scroll.

Lu Li thought for a moment and then opened the wooden box. There were six pieces of red crystals inside. He took one out and murmured to himself, “Are these Blood Crystals?”

“So be it!”

Lu Li was at his wit’s end. He must try everything he could. He reached out one hand and grabbed the skeleton’s hand then gradually poured divine energy inside. It said on the hide scroll that to use the skeleton, one must take control of it…

The skeleton didn’t show any reaction even though Lu Li had been pouring in divine energy for a while. Lu Li sat across the skeleton, feeling himself a foo. Once again, he wondered if this was a joke made by Tian Lingzi.

“Well, something is happening!”

An hour later, Lu Li suddenly noticed that some bones on the skeleton began to give out a faint glow. Finally, the skeleton began to emit a faint hue and demonstrated its powers just like a weapon should be.

“Keep going!”

Lu Li was thrilled. He began to pour in more divine energy. The hue on the bones was becoming increasingly bright. Lu Li was more and more excited. Tian Lingzi did not lie. This skeleton might really be a great weapon.

As time moved on, the bones were glowing with increasing radiance. However, no spiritual link has been established. Lu Li did not lose patience. It would take God of Wings some time to take control of the Wicked Bead. Lu Li still had time.

One day, two days, three days!

Lu Li was annoyed. Every piece of bone was glowing as if they were all sharp weapons. However, there was just no spirit link without which, Lu Li could not control the skeleton.

It had been six days and God of Wings had been working six days as well. As far as Lu Li could tell, God of Wings was halfway through in taking control of the Wicked Bead.

The spiritual connection between the Wicked Bead and Lu Li was weakening. Maybe, in a day or two, the Wicked Bead would become God of Wings’.

Once God of Wings had control of the Wicked Bead, she would have no further concerns. Lu Li would fall in her hands. She could do anything she wanted to punish Lu Li. The immortal’s body and the Deaf Taoist could not have stopped God of Wings.

During the six days, God of Wings said nothing to him, nor asked questions about the Slayer’s move. She was in no rush at all. Clearly, she wanted to take control of the Wicked Bead so that she could have control over Lu Li to interrogate him or search his soul…

There was no other way out. Lu Li felt as if he was hanging on a cliff, either he climbed up or fall down and be smashed to pieces.

Now, the skeleton was Lu Li’s only hope. If he could not take control of the skeleton, or it turned out to be useless in defeating or ending God of Wings, then Lu Li would die the cruelest death.

Lu Li cleared his mind. He even stopped observing the Wicked Bead. His entire mind was on the skeleton, and he mobilized tones of divine energy from his body and poured into the skeleton.

Time zipped by. Two days later, inside the Beast of the Void, God of Wings finally put the teacup down. Her stunningly beautiful cheeks turned rosy.

She could almost take control of the Wicked Bead. She believed that in another day, the bead would be completely hers.

She had been planning for a long time and had paid a huge price. On the verge of success, even with her level of sophistication, she could not stay composed.

As she thought of the treasures left behind by Tian Lingzi, the valuable materials and the tens of thousands of books on Inhibition Formations and artifacts, her cheeks became even redder. She could not help but smile. She was trembling in excitement, just like a lonely woman that was finally about to get intimate with the man of her dreams…

“Okay!”

Half a day later, God of Wings could detect a faint spiritual connection with the Wicked Bead. She trembled and used psychic power at once to observe the inside of the Wicked Bead.

“Well?”

Her sense was veiled, but she could feel there were several halls in the Wicked Bead. She could see the countless books on Inhibition Formations and the materials. She even spotted the Deaf Taoist and Little White.

“Where is Lu Li?”

She frowned since she did not find Lu Li anywhere in the halls. Finally, she could see into the main hall. Lu Li was sitting in front of a skeleton, grabbing the skeleton’s hand and pouring in divine energy.

“The skeleton!”

Informed as God of Wings was, she noticed something unusual from the skeleton after a while. Each piece of bones on the skeleton was like a weapon. On the outside, it appeared that there was no Inhibition Formation. As a matter of fact, within each bone, there seemed to be runes glistening inside.

The skeleton didn’t seem to be powerful. However, the glow from each bone was like sharp weapons were gradually revealing their strength…

“Lu Li!”

God of Wings shouted at once. “Stop now or our former deal will become invalid. When I take full control of the Wicked Bead, I will crush you in an instant!”

Lu Li sensed God of Wing’s psychic power. He knew the Wicked Bead was going to become hers. Still, he paid no attention to her words and kept on pouring divine energy into the skeleton.

Because…

At the moment, he sensed there was a faint spiritual link with the skeleton. He was going to succeed.

“Blood Fairy, try your best to stop God of Wings from controlling the Wicked Bead!”

Lu Li ordered Blood Fairy and then entered the Transcendent State. He took his mind off everything else. He had put all his eggs in one basket. The skeleton carried all of his hopes.

“Lu Li, stop, now!”

God of Wings shouted. Her voice could be heard in the cabin. She fastened her work in pouring in divine energy as well.

She did not know what the use of the skeleton was. Out of instinct, she had a bad feeling as if things were getting out of hand…

“Buzzing!”

Two hours later, that skeleton suddenly began to shine in dark light. Something horrifying about the skeleton spread out and Lu Li, who was sitting in front of the skeleton with his legs crossed, almost fell to the ground due to the shocking impact.

Lu Li opened his eyes at once. He took a look at the skeleton and gathered a sense of its powers. All of a sudden, he felt—this was no longer a skeleton, but a sharp weapon. Previously, being in a sheath, its sharpness was hidden.

Now, the weapon was unsheathed!
