Chapter 746: Chapter 201: Immortal Evil Witch King_5
Seizing the opportunity while Ah Dai was blocking the Bone Dragon and slowing it down, Little Skeleton had successfully devoured all the other evil spirits that posed a threat to the group. After swallowing nine powerful evil spirits in a row, its body was emanating a deep black glow. Thanks to this massive boost, Little Skeleton’s cultivation appeared to have increased considerably.
The Pope was the first to react, raising the Divine Wand in his hand and launching a massive golden Light Blade towards the Bone Dragon chasing Ah Dai. The divine energy made the bone dragon, which was part of the undead lineage, hesitate. Its forward momentum slowed suddenly, its giant bone wings spread wide, and it drew a line in the air with its front paw. A flash of black light clashed with the Light Blade released by the Pope. Although the Light Blade was hastily released by the Pope, its power was not weaker than that of typical sixth or seventh-level magic due to the amplification provided by the high-level divine artifact, the Divine Wand. There was a thunderous bang, the Light Blade dissipated, and the Bone Dragon momentarily came to a halt in mid-air, a shower of bone dust flew from its enormous bone claw, causing it to suffer losses unprepared. The injured Bone Dragon, furious, charged madly at the Pope and the others. By this time, everyone had recovered, and the three Sword Saints simultaneously launched their attacks, meeting the Bone Dragon with their tri-colored fighting spirits. The Bone Dragon was powerful, but it couldn’t afford to act recklessly in the face of the three Sword Saints’ onslaughts. As it slowed its charging force under the pressure of the tri-colored fighting spirit, and fiercely exhaled breaths to resist the three Sword Saints. Ah Dai took this opportunity to quickly chant the spell for Divine Dragon Body Cover. A blue giant dragon emerged and shielded his entire body. The voice of the Pope resounded in his deep conscience, saying, "Ah Dai, don’t attack for now, retreat to our side and protect us. I’m about to cast a Forbidden Curse with the four Red Robe Priests. Only the Forbidden Curse stands a chance against the Nazgul." Heeding the Pope’s words, Ah Dai swiftly moved to his side without any hesitation. The energy of the Sumeru Sword was expanded to its maximum, as Ah Dai kept his gaze on the dark clouds in the sky and the Bone Dragon battling the three Sword Saints. The Pope surveyed the four Red Robe Priests behind him, raised the Divine Wand high, and began chanting quickly. In an instant, a golden light flashed brightly, continuously converging behind Ah Dai.
The Hundred-Meter Bone Dragon was indeed formidable. In the face of the three top swordsmen of the continent, it managed to hold its ground for a time. Even though its bones were often broken by the Sword Saints, it swiftly recovered continuously with Nazgul’s support, maintaining its ferocious and frantic state. To ensure that the Pope and the others could use the Forbidden Curse, Ah Dai commanded Little Skeleton to guard beside everyone along with him. The golden light suddenly brightened dramatically. Lead by the Pope, the first-level Forbidden Curse, Heavenly Light Holy Dance, formed quickly. Xuan Yue and three others surrounded the Pope, continuously channeling their energy into the Divine Wand. The sacred aura in the air grew stronger, and the Divine Wand released trails of golden light, which condensed into a vast field of pure white light in mid-air.
Nazgul also sensed that something was wrong. He was powerful, but he knew well that the power of human Forbidden Curses could be tantamount to an attack from a Sky God. However, summoning the Hundred-Meter Bone Dragon had also placed a considerable strain on him. To be able to resist the attack of the Forbidden Curse, he quickly condensed the black fog he emitted to concentrate his energy. When the Pope was halfway through chanting his spell, countless black tendrils shot out from the twenty square meters of condensed black fog, lazily curling towards the Pope’s direction. Unlike the previous evil spirits, these black tendrils had a powerful physical attack energy. They seemed to advance slowly, but the humming sounds created by the hundreds of tendrils breaking through the air sent a chill down Ah Dai’s spine.
The Sumeru Sword transformed into thousands of golden rays, moving towards those black tendrils. Without Ah Dai’s command, Little Skeleton had already taken over his previous position. It spread its enlarged wings to shield the Pope and the four others behind it. The might of the Sumeru Sword was finally fully displayed. After the strain of summoning the Hundred-Meter Bone Dragon, the tendrils filled with powerful dark energy released by Nazgul couldn’t penetrate the defensive net set up by Ah Dai using the Sumeru Sword. Whenever the golden light came into contact with a black tendril, it would invariably turn into ash, failing to overcome the line of defense, like the Thunder Pond.
