In the distance, Wen Yu and Chu Ziling were rapidly approaching.
They would reach this place in less than five seconds!
But five seconds felt like an eternity!
Just as the bone demon emerged from the ground and faced Jiang Wentao, its sharp claws had already pierced out!
The tips of the bone demon's claws transformed swiftly into a sharp point and aimed directly at the Fourth Prince in Jiang Wentao's arms, thrusting forward fiercely!
With the ancient demon boasting over 150 points in physical attributes, Jiang Wentao, with just over 50 points, simply couldn't react in time!
Throughout the journey, Jiang Wentao's contributions in battle were not significant, as his physical capabilities were evident!
Thus, Jiang Wentao could not evade this attack!
This strike was a deadlock!
“Boom!”
The sound of the earth bursting forth echoed.
Then came the sickening sound of claws piercing flesh!
“Run!”
The one who shouted this was William!
The difficulty of traversing through the sand was very low; even when dragged into it, William relied on his physical attributes of over 150 points, after activating the Majesty of the King, to forcefully dig himself out!
Without hesitation, he positioned himself between the bone demon and the Fourth Prince!
Just moments before being dragged underground, William had already engaged in a brief skirmish with the bone demon.
However, this couldn’t be counted as a proper engagement since underground was the bone demon's territory!
Now, on the surface, William was covered in wounds of various sizes, blood flowing continuously, the most terrifying being the perforating wounds caused by the bone demon!
This strike had created a large hole in William's chest!
Upon witnessing the scene before him, Jiang Wentao quickly retreated.
Just as he turned to flee, intense combat broke out!
......
The first to strike was William, who was left with barely half his life!
Given William's current injuries, it was practically equivalent to a death sentence!
So, he ignored the bone spikes still embedded in his body and directly slashed at the bone demon in front of him with his sword.
But what greeted William was the bone demon's cold sneer!
Bone Control Technique (B-grade, active ability): Freely manipulate the bones in one's body to create various transformations!
The earlier transformation of the bone demon's claws into bone spikes was achieved with this ability!
Now, the bone demon's claws transformed yet again.
The location was within William's body!
The speed of the bone demon's claw transformation was definitely much faster than William's sword swing!
Thus, a gruesome scene unfolded before Wen Yu and Chu Ziling!
Bone spikes erupted from William's body as if flowers were blooming, instantly tearing apart his upper half!
The giant sword he wielded slowed down considerably until, at last, it struck the bone demon's head, but it held no power.
The bone demon slowly pulled out its right hand.
A massive wound appeared in William's chest!
This wound was so large it resembled a small window! Through it, one could even clearly see the sands scattering in the distance.
“One!”
A low, indifferent voice emerged from the bone demon, and then it slightly turned, chasing after Jiang Wentao and the Fourth Prince!
This bone demon was intelligent; it naturally understood that engaging with these individuals held no meaning. As long as it could take down the Fourth Prince, all sacrifices would be rewarded!
However, just as the bone demon intended to turn and leave, it was suddenly yanked back by a force from behind!
“I’m not dead yet...”
As the words fell, a giant sword had already plunged into the bone demon's body!
The sheer force and sharpness caused the bone demon's armor to shatter, and the sword successfully pierced through it!
“I can perform that move too!”
A weak yet resolute voice came through, and then a white light flickered across the giant sword!
Moon Slash, Moon Slash! Moon... Slash...
Three Moon Slashes erupted from the giant sword!
