I Am Sword Bone

"Seven-Element Primordial Chaos Cannon!"

Chen Jianshu held the Elemental Nuclear Reactor, streaming with seven-colored light, in his hand and hurled it down at Long Yue.

Boom!

With an explosive roar, the powers of fire, ice, darkness, light, wind, earth, and space burst forth like a magnificent firework.

The powerful impact sent Chen Jianshu flying. He rolled twice across the ground before using the momentum to spring back to his feet.

On the other side, Dai Yueyan held his sister Dai Yun'er in his arms. His eyes were full of heartache as he looked at her battered body.

But the one who needed their attention most was Long Yue, who had gone mad. Everyone looked toward the center of the battlefield.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Long Yue emerged in tatters. Chen Jianshu had blown away the clothes on his upper body, while those on his lower body were just as ragged, held together solely by the tenacious will of his pants.

"Long Yue, wake up! Yun'er is all right!"

Dai Yueyan immediately shouted, trying to bring Long Yue to his senses. Long Yue instinctively looked over at the sound, only to see Dai Yun'er, supported by Dai Yueyan, in a sorry state, covered in wounds and dripping with blood. His eyes turned red once more.

"Yun'er!"

With a roar, Long Yue charged at him. Dai Yueyan was dumbfounded. Come on, man! We're on the same side!

From Long Yue's perspective, Dai Yun'er was covered in wounds, and the culprits, Ye Xinglan, Weng Daimin, and Wu Bingyu, were beside her. Dai Yueyan was standing next to them, so he was a culprit too.

In his frenzy, Long Yue bit at anyone he saw. Dai Yueyan immediately pushed Dai Yun'er away.

"Yun'er, get out of here first. Leave this to your fourth brother!"

"Fourth brother! Big Brother Long, please come to your senses! That's my fourth brother!"

The Dai siblings were shaken as they watched Long Yue, who could no longer tell friend from foe. Above all, they hadn't expected him to lose control so badly!

"White Tiger Protective Barrier! White Tiger Vajra Transformation! White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Yueyan went all out against the frenzied Long Yue. His White Tiger Fierce Light Wave met the dragon claw, but only made it pause for a moment.

Dragon and tiger roars rang out as the two grappled, but Dai Yueyan was clearly being beaten back.

"Sword Star God!"

"Asura Demon Fiend!"

"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"

At that moment, several streaks of star sword Qi and killing sword Qi, along with black claw lights, rained down and slammed into Long Yue's back.

Blood instantly poured from Long Yue's back. As if enraged, he unleashed his First Soul Skill, Mountains and Rivers, again. Countless mounds of earth rose from the ground, dividing the battlefield, and he charged at Dai Yueyan once more.

In Long Yue's mind, those who wielded swords or spears, the one with the ice element, and the white tiger were all enemies. The main reason for this logic was that Wu Siduo had revealed her White Tiger Martial Soul earlier.

The Mountain Dragon claw struck again, heading straight for Dai Yueyan. He immediately assumed a defensive stance, but Dai Yun'er, possessed by her Hell Spirit Cat, appeared and stepped directly in front of him.

"Big Brother Long, wake up! It's me, Yun'er!"

But clearly, his reason had already been completely devoured by the Mountain Dragon Martial Soul, turning him into a monster that knew only slaughter.

The Mountain Dragon claw came straight at them. Dai Yueyan immediately pulled his sister behind him to protect her, but the dragon claw tore a wound in him deep enough to expose bone.

Long Yue struck again, aiming his claw straight at Dai Yueyan's heart. Just as the attack was about to land, a Silver Dragon Spear shot over and pierced straight through Long Yue's palm.

"Roar!"

Long Yue screamed in pain. Chen Jianshu kicked hard off the ground and planted a foot in his face, sending him stumbling back several steps.

"If you want to go mad, go do it somewhere else!"

As he spoke, a full thirty Iron Swords appeared behind him and swept toward Long Yue like a rain of swords.

Clutching the gaping hole in his left hand, Long Yue let out a furious roar. He smashed through the incoming Iron Swords with his powerful body and charged at Chen Jianshu.

"Hey! Be careful. Big Brother Long is very strong. Don't get yourself killed."

Dai Yun'er looked at the figure beside her who had saved her life, her feelings complicated. For a moment, she didn't know what to say and could only warn him to be careful.

"The person my age who can defeat me hasn't been born yet!"

Chen Jianshu paid it no mind. He reached a hand toward Long Yue and murmured in a low voice:

"I am the bone of my sword. I am Sword Bone! Steel is my body, and fire is my blood!"

As his voice fell, a domain instantly spread out, encompassing everyone nearby.

"What is this?!"

Still shaken, Dai Yun'er stared at the transformed scenery around her. The battlefield seemed to have become a real forest, with more than twenty weapons floating overhead.

"This is a domain!"

Well-informed, Dai Yueyan immediately recognized it as a domain. Nearby, Xue Liushuang, Ye Xinglan, Wu Bingyu, and the others, who were also inside the domain, saw the many weapons of different shapes floating overhead.

"Why is my Light-Splitting Sword there too?"

"My Stargod Sword is there too?!"

"Mine is there as well!"

Xue Liushuang, Ye Xinglan, and Wu Bingyu soon noticed that their Martial Souls were among the weapons floating above.

"Time to end this! Unlimited Blade Works!"

As Chen Jianshu's voice fell, the weapons all aimed at Long Yue below. Iron Swords, the Holy Sword, the Coiling Dragon Staff, the Light-Splitting Sword, the Stargod Sword, the White Feather Sword, the Prototype Archaic, the Dawn Divine Sword, the Black Tassel Spear, and many other weapons rained down.

Long Yue was now only five meters away from him, and the weapons fell like a raging storm.

"Mountains and Rivers!"

Clang, clang, clang!

As several crisp sounds rang out, Long Yue felt the threat of death and unleashed his First Soul Skill to defend himself.

Numerous piles of stone rose from the ground, but they were all smashed apart by the weapons. Even so, several weapons struck him.

"Star Dou Forest, I am the Beast God. I issue the Imperial Decree! Beast Tide!"

Two Character Cards appeared in Chen Jianshu's hands, one for Gu Yuena and one for Gu Yue. Together with the Na'er Character Card he was using, they completed the Soul Beast Bond and the Star Dou Forest Bond.

The Soul Beast Bond was Beast Tide. At his command, the pounding footsteps of numerous Hundred-Year Soul Beasts and Ten-Year Soul Beasts rang out.

Everyone turned toward the sound and saw an army of more than fifty Hundred-Year and Ten-Year Soul Beasts thundering out of the depths of the forest.

"A Beast Tide?! How could there be a Beast Tide?!"

Everyone was shaken. Weren't they in the damn Spirit Ascension Platform? How could there be a Beast Tide?!

As everyone watched, the Beast Tide crashed into Long Yue's Soul Skill, Mountains and Rivers, smashing it apart and revealing Long Yue in a sorry state, with three weapons lodged in his body.

"Rivers!"

Long Yue roared and used his last sliver of Soul Power to unleash his second Soul Skill, Rivers. Rivers surged against the Soul Beast army. Although it held back the Beast Tide for a moment, it was ultimately overwhelmed.

Long Yue was trampled by the dozen or so remaining Soul Beasts, and a Hundred-Year Titan Giant Ape joined the battlefield. Under the effect of the Star Dou Forest Bond, a powerful Soul Beast from the Star Dou Forest would join the fight to assist after the Beast Tide.

But it looked like that wouldn't be necessary.
