Chapter 197 - 197 A Strange Aura

197 A Strange Aura

Under the pressure of the dragon’s might, everyone almost couldn’t stand still. Shen Changling forced himself to stay upright and said, “We have no intention of offending your eternal rest, Senior. We hope that you can…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the dragon skeleton. “Die!”

It was a simple word, but it was like the grim reaper had passed over everyone’s head, leaving behind a chill.

There was no warmth in its huge, black eyes. It looked at everyone like they were ants. Who would care about the life and death of ants? Obviously, the dragon skeleton did not take them seriously.

Among all of them, only Ye Xuan and the Penglai Immortal Beasts caught the dragon’s interest.

Two faint flames flickered in its eyes. The gaze was full of malice and greed, like some deep swamp. The air was also filled with the smell of decay, which made Ye Xuan and the Penglai Immortal Beasts feel a little strange.

Logically speaking, a dragon should be a sacred being, but the skeleton in front of them gave them a strange aura.

“Have you seen a dragon before?”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts shook their head and replied, “In our era, the dragon race was almost extinct. Even if they existed, they would hide from the world. Therefore, we have never seen them before.”

Even Penglai Immortal Beasts had never seen a dragon.

Ye Xuan’s sharp eyes noticed that the root of the dragon skeleton seemed to have been corroded by something, and there were some black spots. However, the skeleton was too large, so some of the minor parts were easily overlooked.

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to think about the mystery behind it, the dragon skeleton had already launched an attack. Even though it was dead, its power was not something that everyone could deal with.

It was just a light stomp of the dragon’s feet, but it was like a landslide and the earth cracking. The cracks in the ground grew larger and larger, and if they were not careful, they would fall into it and be crushed to pieces.

The first target of the dragon’s skeleton was Ye Xuan.

“Elder Ye, be careful!”

Looking at the two netherworld flames that were so close to him, Ye Xuan dodged them by a hair’s breadth. An extremely low temperature rose from the bottom of his feet, like the wind from hell. The spiritual power in his body became sluggish as if he was frozen.

Shen Changling quickly raised the long sword in his hand and mumbled something. A huge array rose from the bottom of his feet. At the same time, the cold sword was unsheathed. It split into more than one sword, and the air was filled with flying swords.

“Ten Thousand Swords Greets The Ancestors!”

As he shouted, countless spiritual lights gathered at the tip of the sword and pointed at the dragon’s skeleton. Such a scene should have looked extremely domineering. With so many flying swords, it was as if the world was filled with the glint of blades and the shadow of swords.

Even the sky was cut into countless pieces by the sword Qi. It was indeed worthy of the name ‘Ten Thousand Swords Greet The Ancestors’.

However, what they were facing was the skeleton of a giant dragon. The white bones extended for thousands of miles. It was impossible to tell how big it was. It covered the sky and made people feel fear.

Even with so many flying swords, they were nothing in front of it. They were like toys in the little kingdom. In the eyes of the dragon skeleton, these flying swords were not even qualified to pick its teeth.

“Go!”

As the flying swords landed on the dragon’s skeleton, countless tiny sparks exploded. It did not even leave a white mark, let alone damage the skeleton.

Legend had it that dragon bone was the toughest material in the world. It was indestructible and nothing could destroy it. It could be forged into a divine artifact. Now, it seemed to be true.

Shen Changling looked dejected when he saw the situation. The difference in strength was too great.

“Be careful!”

Not far away, Ye Xuan seemed to be shouting at him, and his expression was somewhat anxious.

Before Shen Changling could react, a shadow fell on his head. It was a long, huge tail that swept heavily on his body.

Shen Changling was sent flying a hundred meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up from the ground, but he felt pain all over his body. He couldn’t move at all. Most of his bones were probably broken.

When the others saw this, they couldn’t help but turn pale. In terms of overall strength, Shen Changling was considered to be at a good level among them.

He couldn’t even withstand half a move and was already seriously injured. This was under the condition that the dragon skeleton didn’t make a move. It was too terrifying.

Shen Changling looked at the remaining people who had not made a move. He was a little disappointed as he said, “Why are you all standing there? Are you waiting to die?”

He Feng revealed a bitter smile as he replied, “Brother Shen, do you think we have a chance of survival? ”

“You won’t know if you don’t try! Even if you die, you must be indomitable!”

The dragon seemed to be interrupted by Shen Changling.

The dragon skeleton wasn’t interested in this group of ants. It didn’t even care about Shen Changling, who had just provoked it. It just looked straight at Ye Xuan.

‘Not good!’ Ye Xuan cursed in his heart and hurriedly jumped to the side. His figure was so fast that only an afterimage was left behind. The dragon skeleton’s eyes also moved with him.

“Hand them over…” the dragon ordered.

The dragon was probably referring to the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

Ye Xuan didn’t understand why the dragon skeleton was so obsessed with the Penglai Immortal Beasts as if it was looking at some delicious food.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts were naturally unhappy to be looked at like this. They immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. One of them shouted, “So what if you’re a dragon?! Don’t tell me you want to eat us!”

The dragon skeleton really did have such a plan, otherwise, it wouldn’t have targeted Ye Xuan from the beginning.

As the skeleton moved, the earth shook again. This time, it was coming at Ye Xuan and the Penglai Immortal Beasts. Ye Xuan dodged it unhurriedly.

The others might be afraid, but he was not afraid at all. He still had so many Penglai Immortal Beasts in his spatial zone. Even if he couldn’t deal with this dragon skeleton, he should have no problem escaping.

However, it would be a little troublesome to bring Shen Changling and the others out.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts were quite unyielding. They were about to return to their original forms but were stopped by Ye Xuan. He stared thoughtfully into the eyes of the dragon skeleton, where the blood moon had been.
