93: thrilling

The hand bone glowed with a faint cyan-gray light, and intricate blood-colored patterns, like slender blood vessels, snaked around the joints.

Li Xiangyun was a little surprised; he actually felt a dangerous aura and a special pressure emanating from this hand bone.

He was certain it was a human bone, and very likely the hand bone of a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

Although it was merely a hand bone, to avoid any complications, Li Xiangyun still chose to strike with a terrifying force.

In an instant, a brilliant sword light flashed, cutting towards the Formation.

Meanwhile, Tian Shanhai, holding the hand bone, had a flicker of hesitation and pain in his eyes.

Finally, seeing the sword light approaching, Tian Shanhai took a deep breath and injected Spiritual Qi into the hand bone.

The patterns on the finger bone suddenly lit up, transforming into thousands of blood-red rays that pierced through the clouds.

The distant mountains began to tremble, and rocks, like grains of sand crushed by an invisible giant hand, turned into a sky full of dust.

As the Spiritual Qi injection intensified, the pressure emanating from the finger bone actually tore open dark cracks in the Void Realm.

Immediately after, a suction force erupted from those dark cracks. The surrounding Tian Family members, before they could react, turned into wisps of blood mist and drifted into the cracks.

At this moment, eerie roars echoed from the darkness, as if countless monsters were fighting to feed.

Seemingly not satisfied, black tentacles began to stretch out from the dark cracks.

Countless Tian Family members were swallowed and absorbed by the black tentacles without any resistance.

At this point, how could the Tian Family members not know what was happening?

They all fled from Tian Shanhai as if insane, but within the Formation, where could they run?

For a time, shrill screams were incessant.

"Clan Chief, Clan Chief, no!"

"Clan Chief, I beg you, Tian'er is still young."

"Ah~ no!"

"I don't want to die~"

"Grandpa, I am your own grandson!"

"Tian Shanhai, I hate you!"

...Tian Shanhai listened silently to the curses around him, tears streaming down his face.

He didn't want to either!

But he couldn't think of any other way.

Although this method came at too great a cost, the Tian Family at least had a chance of survival.

In fact, this hand bone was an ancestral heirloom of the Tian Family. No one knew its origin, only that as long as Spiritual Qi was injected, the hand bone would begin to absorb the flesh and blood of those around it and kill the target the wielder wished to kill.

A moment later, with only a few Tian Family members remaining, Tian Shanhai, feeling it was enough, stopped injecting Spiritual Qi into the hand bone.

The hand bone had undergone a great change; not only was it glowing with blood-red light, but even the originally smooth bone now had a bit of pale pink skin, as tender as a baby's.

Then, Tian Shanhai pointed the index finger of the hand bone towards the sky.

At this point, the Formation had been broken by the sword light, and the dim sword light was still shooting towards the Tian Family.

As for Li Xiangyun's figure, he had long since disappeared.

After all, he wasn't an idiot.

Feeling a dangerous aura and not running, was he waiting to stay for a feast?

Therefore, without hesitation, Li Xiangyun immediately fled.

To be even safer, he even spent prosperity points to buy a Teleportation Talisman, instantly teleporting fifty miles away.

Even then, Li Xiangyun still felt uneasy and continued to rush towards the distance.

Mainly, the scene just now was too terrifying; his Divine Sense had just probed into that eerie crack and was swallowed without a trace.

At the same time, Li Xiangyun hadn't expected it.

He hadn't even made a move yet, and the Tian Family had already been largely annihilated by Tian Shanhai himself.

Li Xiangyun was still running wildly; the distance between him and the Tian Family had now reached several hundred miles.

But even so, Li Xiangyun still had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, a moment later, Li Xiangyun saw a blood-red light crossing mountains and rivers from the horizon, moving extremely fast.

"Damn it!"

Li Xiangyun cursed, then changed direction and ran wildly again.

But then, a strange scene occurred.

The blood-red light actually changed direction as well, continuing to shoot towards him.

A moment later, seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Xiangyun simply stopped, choosing to confront it head-on.

So, he first threw out various defensive Magic Treasures like crazy, arranging them in front of him.

Then, he gripped his sword in his right hand, accumulating power, preparing to meet the blow.

Almost in an instant, the blood-red light, carrying the power to obliterate everything, split the night sky and arrived before Li Xiangyun.

Wherever it passed, all the defensive Magic Treasures shattered like tofu, completely powerless to resist.

Li Xiangyun had anticipated this, so he calmly drew his long sword and then swung it forcefully.

"Heaven-Shattering Sword Art!"

In an instant, a dazzling sword light collided with the blood-red light.

A flash of light passed, and Li Xiangyun touched his chest, which had been pierced through, then plummeted to the ground.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Li Xiangyun flew up again.

At this moment, Li Xiangyun's injuries had mostly recovered, but even so, he still felt some lingering fear, and his back was soaked with sweat.

If he hadn't run so far and had enough time to react to that attack just now, he might have truly been dead.

Clearly, having witnessed his strength, Tian Shanhai had aimed to kill with the power of a Golden Core Peak Cultivator.

But he didn't expect him to be so cunning.

"Then it's your turn next."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Li Xiangyun's eyes, and then he quickly rushed back.

Not only to kill Tian Shanhai, but also because he was somewhat covetous of that hand bone.

Although the cost of using it was indeed quite high, and there might be hidden dangers he didn't know about.

But undoubtedly, in certain special circumstances, that hand bone was enough to save his life.

To prevent Tian Shanhai from escaping, Li Xiangyun even spent another ten thousand prosperity points to buy a Teleportation Talisman.

But unfortunately, such Teleportation Talismans did not have the ability to pass through Formations, otherwise, back at the Spirit Beast Sect, Li Xiangyun would have fled immediately.

However, despite the limitations, it had miraculous uses in fleeing and dodging attacks, and at critical moments, it could save one's life.

Therefore, there was a reason for its high price.

When Li Xiangyun returned to the Tian Family again, he found that the Tian Family was silent under the night sky.

Under the moonlight, the fresh bloodstains were still glaring.

Clearly, Tian Shanhai had taken the remaining Tian Family members and left during this time.

Without hesitation, Li Xiangyun immediately pursued them by following the aura they left behind.

After a moment, seemingly confirming Li Xiangyun's departure.

The quiet Tian Family suddenly glowed, revealing Tian Shanhai and the others.

Clearly, the so-called departure was merely a smokescreen set up by Tian Shanhai.

After all, how could they escape the pursuit of a Golden Core True Person?

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Tian Shanhai quickly urged the remaining Clan members to run in the opposite direction.
