Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 201

As the earth-shattering rumbling gradually subsided, they looked around and saw that a large number of mounds had been destroyed. Such destructive power was not inferior to Luo Xue's previous attacks.

Looking at the two girls, although Yan Chutian was silent in his heart, he did not dare to say a word. He even deliberately suppressed the power of his Spirit Art, for fear of accidentally colliding with the two girls.

However, even though the three increased the speed of crushing the mound, after it was destroyed, a large number of mounds continued to rapidly increase. Moreover, it seemed like the actions of the three of them had angered the creatures in the darkness. As the mounds rose, the sound of ear-piercing cracks continued to be heard. It was actually transmitted from each mound, as if a demonic voice entered their minds, directly entering their minds.

This kind of attack was harder to resist than a Spirit Art attack. After all, the attacks of Spirit Art could be blocked, but this demonic voice was formless. If there were no suitable means of defense, even if one's cultivation was strong, his mind would be disturbed and pitifully defeated.

Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people. Even Luo Xue had used a suitable means of defense.

While holding on, Yan Chutian held his breath and opened his Spirit Eyes, constantly observing the surroundings. Even if his Spirit Eye did not see anything strange, now that the other party had launched an attack, it would definitely be difficult to hide.

Sure enough, as Yan Chutian had expected, even if all the mounds emitted ear-piercing sounds, most of them were wrong. Only a few of them had abnormal movements.

Therefore, how could Yan Chutian hesitate? Sword Spirit runes appeared, then turned into a sword between heaven and earth, slashing towards several abnormally moving mounds!

"Boom…!"

A rumbling sound rang out again, but along with this rumbling sound, several sharp screams rang out in succession. The mounds exploded, and several white skeletons fell down one after another, hitting the ground.

Almost all of the fallen skeletons were split apart, with broken bones strewn across the ground. Woeful screams came from their mouths. However, even under such circumstances, wherever bones fell, the grass around it would quickly wither. It was as if the entire body of the skeleton contained a terrifying corrosive power.

However, this time, Yan Chutian and the other two saw it clearly. Along with the withering of the grass, the originally shattered skeleton actually quickly fused into one. Strange green lights flickered in their eye sockets as they continued to dig a hole in the ground and quickly escaped.

"Did he absorb the life force to recover himself ?!"

Yan Chutian's eyes twinkled. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the fleeing skeleton. Without hesitation, he immediately slashed down with his heavy sword, pierced through one of the skeletons and lifted it up.

"Ci.Ci!"

The skull pierced by the Mystical Fire Sword screamed in pain, but no matter how hard it struggled, Yan Chutian would not let go. Under such circumstances, the skeleton's fighting movements gradually diminished, and in the end, it quickly decayed before the three of them, finally turning into dust and disappearing.

With such a living example, even if Yan Chutian did not say it, the other two girls immediately understood everything. Those strange skeletons could absorb the life force that came into contact with them, and then recuperate, as if they were immortals.

However, once it left behind a body that was still alive, they would soon rot and die.

As a result, it is no longer difficult to eliminate it. As long as the skeleton was separated from the surrounding grass, even if it did not move, it would collapse by itself!

With this thought in mind, how could Yan Chutian hesitate? He immediately opened his Spiritual Eye again, searching for that strange skeleton. During this process, of course, he would not act stupid himself. His Spiritual Eye detected some abnormal movements, and he told Qiu Yu or Luo Xue to let them cooperate.

Therefore, the following situation was almost a massacre for that strange skeleton. Wherever they fled, Yan Chutian's Spiritual Eye could catch them. After which, one of the three of them violently opened the pile of soil, and then wrapped it with spiritual power to leave the ground.

The result was as Yan Chutian had expected. Not long after leaving the ground, this strange skeleton began to rot and turn into dust.

After half an hour, Yan Chutian's Spiritual Eye looked around and could no longer detect abnormal movements. At the same time, the piles of crushed earth were no longer piled up, as if the skeletons had been obliterated entirely.

This result made Qiu Yu clap in satisfaction, and then he smiled at Yan Chutian, his gentle face looking quite gallant.

However, as Qiu Yu smiled, the originally calm ground suddenly shook violently. The ground where the three of them were shaking continuously, then continued to collapse, as if the earth was collapsing.

At the same time, the ground where they had originally stood completely collapsed, and then a huge head like a fierce rock emerged from the layer of soil.

Simultaneously with the head, countless thick vines shot out from the layers of soil, and struck the three of them violently like lightning. The three of them had no choice but to dodge again.

After dodging it again, Yan Chutian looked at the collapsed ground of the vines, and then at the ferocious head that had emerged from the collapsed ground, and a lot of vines that keep spinning behind the head. He couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that after hitting the young one, the old one came out for revenge.

"That is …"

Suddenly, Qiu Yu's voice sounded from the side. Yan Chutian turned his head and saw that one of the vines was tied with a figure. The figure's clothes were in tatters, but from the fresh blood on it, it was obvious that he had died not long ago.

However, the person who had died not long ago looked like a skeleton at this moment.

It was not difficult to imagine that he was definitely one of the so-called favorites who had just entered the outskirts of the Star Valley. He must have been killed by the giant monster in front, and even if he died, he could not calm down, and continued to be absorbed like food.

Yan Chutian did not feel that the person who died was miserable, because he was already used to such a scene. If one wanted to rise in the vast sea of humans, he naturally had to take the appropriate risk.

Not to mention being absorbed as nutrients after death, it was a common occurrence for them to die without leaving a trace of their remains.

But even so, Yan Chutian was vaguely determined to kill the monster in front of him. After all, they were all from the Human Clan. Even if they were not friends before death, or had not even met before, he could still avenge after death.

"Kill!"

Without any nonsense, Yan Chutian once again controlled the sword with a spiritual pattern to attack. This giant monster was only at the fourth level of the Elixir Realm. With such cultivation, Yan Chutian believed that he could still kill him alone.

And this giant monster was indeed not Yan Chutian's opponent. However, when Yan Chutian severely injured him and cut some vines, he discovered that this monster was like that skeleton, and could also absorb the life of the surrounding meadows.

With the enormous size of this monster, the movement of absorbing it was extremely frightening. The meadows around the monster withered after absorbing so much life force. After absorbing so much life force, his injuries almost recovered, and once again fought fiercely with Yan Chutian.

"It's a monster!"

Yan Chutian whispered. With this monstrous monster recovery ability, it would be extremely troublesome for ordinary practitioners at the fourth level to fight against it, and they might even be defeated.

Fortunately, he was no ordinary person. Therefore, he had a suitable method to deal with it as he fought with it.

After a moment of silence, Yan Chutian once again controlled the sword with a spiritual pattern to slash at the gigantic monster. Seeing this, the giant monster did not dodge. It immediately raised some thick vines behind it and rushed towards the heavy sword with a spiritual pattern.

The seemingly soft vines were constantly gathering on the reels. Finally, they seemed to solidify into a long cyan spear, which collided with Yan Chutian's sword.

"Boom…!"

The two collided, and a huge roar immediately echoed. However, neither side seemed to excel in this attack, and they were deadlocked.

This made Luo Xue, who was watching from the side, impatient. His subtle body surged with Spiritual Strength, and it seemed like he was about to attack. However, as his Spiritual Strength surged, Qiu Yu stepped forward lightly and stopped him. Then he looked towards Yan Chutian, who was still at a dead end, and said without looking towards Luo Xue.
