Chapter 591 - Humans and Beasts Joining Forces

Rumble!

Li Yao unleashed the full might of a Divine Nascent realm expert. A massive hand of primeval qi had swept out, annihilating countless white-bone corpse demons in a terrifying display of power.

These white-bone corpse demons were relatively weak, many being only in the Core Formation realm. They stood no chance against a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse like Li Yao and were utterly powerless to resist him.

“Kill!”

“Kill them!”

The others also sprang into action. Powerful qi erupted from them, shaking the very heavens and earth as they charged at the white-bone corpse demons.

Chaos erupted at the foot of the ghost mountain.

The clash between the crowd and the white-bone corpse demons created a spectacular scene—flashing sabers and swords, dazzling cultivation techniques, and continuous, terrifying explosions.

“Ignore these minions. I’m sure someone is creating these white-bone corpse demons. Among the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s nine palaces, only the Underworld Palace is capable of this. The evil cult’s members must have infiltrated those who entered the Hidden Dragon Island.” A cold light flickered in Li Yao’s eyes.

The sudden upheaval on the ghost mountain, the awakening of vengeful spirits, and the formation of these white-bone corpse demons all pointed to a hidden manipulator.

The methods used were characteristic of the evil cult, suggesting that they had embedded themselves among the thousands who had come to the Hidden Dragon Island. Specifically, it seemed to be remnants of the Underworld Palace, one of the nine palaces of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.

“Charge, we must kill the evil cult’s remnants and neutralize the other party’s cultivation technique to put an end to this situation. Otherwise, the white-bone corpse demons will be endless!” Li Yao’s expression was cold and grim as he shoved his palm out, sweeping through the white-bone corpse demons charging ahead. He formed a path toward the top of the ghost mountain.

But just as he was about to rush forward, a rumbling noise suddenly rang out.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura descended. Three thirty-foot-tall white-bone corpse demons came charging down, emanating incomparably powerful auras.

Those auras weren’t much weaker than Li Yao’s.

These three white-bone corpse demons were at the half-step Divine Nascent realm. Li Yao’s expression darkened.

The human martial artists and the demonic beasts seemed to have joined forces to deal with these white-bone corpse demons.

Rumble!

Chen Fan finally arrived at the ghost mountain. From the sky, he grabbed at the void, summoning the Purgatory Divine Halberd. He slashed down violently from above. A halberd light of death instantly blasted a large swathe of white-bone corpse demons, killing them.

Those who had been surrounded by the demons and were on the verge of being torn apart saw their attackers vanish in a flash. They immediately saw Chen Fan in the air and cried out in joy.

“It’s Chen Fan, Chen Fan is here!”

Chen Fan didn’t spare them a glance. He pressed on, climbing the ghost mountain. No white-bone corpse demon could withstand his advance; they fell before him effortlessly.

On the mountainside, Li Yao was locked in a fierce battle with the three half-step Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons, producing earth-shaking noises. The fight was intense, with earth-shaking sounds as Li Yao gradually drove the demons back, their bones splintering under his overwhelming strength.

Chla!

Suddenly, a spear flew over, blasting a half-step Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon on Li Yao’s left side and blowing it to bits instantly.

Li Yao also sent out two punches that landed on the two remaining white-bone corpse demons. The terrifying force turned them into smithereens.

Turning to see who had intervened, Li Yao spotted Chen Fan.

“What’s going on?” Chen Fan asked directly.

Li Yao replied with a grave expression, “Some remnants from the Underworld Palace have infiltrated the island, summoned dead spirits, and created this army of white-bone corpse demons. I’m afraid they plan to wipe out all of us in one go.”

Chen Fan nodded inwardly, confirming his suspicion. The presence of demonic path cultivators on Hidden Dragon Island was as he had feared.

Alas, this was unavoidable.

After all, it was likely that some people would be killed while on their way to the Hidden Dragon Island and have their nomination tokens stolen by the demonic beings. No one would know if they mixed in with the crowd.

“We must push forward and eliminate the source of this demonic technique,” Li Yao said. “Otherwise, no matter how many white-bone corpse demons we defeat, they will keep coming.”

“Alright, let’s charge up together, then!” Chen Fan nodded, a ferocious light flickering in his eyes.
