At the far end of the tunnel, a giant archway radiating a dark purple hue stood there.
The archway was made of individual white bones, each emitting Youyou, dark purple light that sent chills down one's spine.
The bones were arranged closely together, with purple light flowing between them, constantly changing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Upon closer inspection, each bone was covered with countless tiny barbs that moved up and down with the purple light.
Countless skeletons were scattered all around, with blue-white ghostly flames flickering among the white bones, illuminating the surroundings and creating an extremely eerie scene.
A blood mist suddenly rushed in, carrying the wind and stirring the will-o'-the-wisps, causing countless skeletal shadows to writhe on the walls, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
The biting cold caused the blood mist to instantly recede, finally revealing a human form.
Worshipper Duan's face was deathly pale, the scar on his face looked even more ferocious, and he was holding the two sisters and the little remaining flesh and blood of the Snow Flame Tiger in his arms.
In order to escape here, Snow Flame Tiger had almost completely consumed his flesh and blood.
Worshipper Duan heavily, Duan Gongfeng didn't stop for a moment and immediately staggered towards the gate. He could feel the powerful auras of the two people behind him approaching him.
Damn it!
Upon reaching the gate, Worshipper Duan threw the two sisters to the ground and began to beat them violently.
The knocking was deep and heavy, and a sound like a bell inexplicably came from behind the door, echoing the knocking.
The large door made of bones began to emit a dark purple light, illuminating the entire tunnel. The previously closed door opened to create a path for people to pass through.
Worshipper Duan immediately picked up the Snow Flame Tiger's flesh and blood, along with the two unconscious sisters, and hurriedly ran inside.
"Stop right there!"
A clear shout came from behind!
Countless Blue Silver Grass vines shot down towards the gate like sharp swords, but just as they were about to touch Worshipper Duan, a terrifying pressure emanated from the white bone gate, isolating and shattering it!
The oppressive aura, imbued with unparalleled divinity, pressed down upon the two women without diminishing its force.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan sensed something was wrong, and with a quick flick of their toes, they retreated, trying to escape.
The pressure spread so quickly that neither of the women had expected it. They had only retreated ten meters and were about to turn around to avoid it when the invisible pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down on them, directly struck them.
He let out two muffled groans.
Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were directly pinned to the ground. This force made it impossible for them to resist. Even if they used the power given to them by Lord Shadow, the most they could do was move a finger. Anything more was simply wishful thinking.
Worshipper Duan the two of them like this, Duan Gongfeng's fear vanished instantly, replaced by a greedy glint in his eyes. "Hehehe, with our master here, you two can just wait to become his prey."
The gate of white bones still exudes the oppressive aura that only Deity can possess.
As the messenger of this mysterious Deity, Worshipper Duan was naturally unaffected. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry and walked slowly towards Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.
Tang Ya struggled to lift her head; the immense pressure above her made it almost impossible for her to open her eyes. Worshipper Duan's eyes greedily scanned the two people in front of him, his heart filled with lust.
"Stay... stay away from us!" Tang Ya managed to say.
Tang Ya desperately urged her Soul Power, and a weak Dark Blue Silver Grass slowly sprouted in her hand, trying to grow stronger to block Duan Gongfeng in front of Worshipper Duan.
However, with his Soul Power almost completely exhausted, the Blue Silver Grass only grew slightly larger before stopping its growth.
Protector Duan chuckled mockingly, "Stop struggling." As his Martial Soul Possession, his First Soul Ring lit up, and his entire right hand transformed into a bone hand. The surrounding blue and white ghost flames seemed to have heard the summons and flew over, condensing into a large ball of flame between his bone claws.
As the flames drew closer, the expected heat did not arrive; instead, a chilling coldness prevailed.
Just a few seconds later, white frost appeared on the cheeks of the two women in a strange way, but the Blue Silver Grass blocking their way was still instantly ignited and then completely burned away.
Worshipper Duan the two helpless figures, Duan raised his right hand, the raging ghost fire burning fiercely, and smashed it down without hesitation.
The blue-white flames trailed a dazzling white light in the air before crashing down onto the white bone gate.
The flames vanished instantly upon impact, leaving the white bone gate smooth as jade, exuding Sisi chilling aura.
Only the right hand, Worshipper Duan, was now empty.
The sudden turn of events caught Duan Worshipper Duan off guard. He stared blankly at his vanished right hand. Unbeknownst to him, a dark figure had appeared behind the two women, a sword pressed directly against his brow.
"Lord Shadow!" The two women were overjoyed and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
A unique aura emanated from behind them, and without turning around, the two women knew that the person who had arrived was none other than Lord Shadow.
The cold sword tip pressed against his brow. Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from the man in front of him, Duan Gongfeng's scalp tingled Worshipper Duan. Even with the blessing of Deity power, he couldn't muster the will to resist.
"You... you, who are you?!" Worshipper Duan stammered.
Huo Yuhao stared at him coldly, a slight smile playing on his lips. He didn't answer, but with a slight exertion of force in his right hand, the tip of his sword pierced through Worshipper Duan's skin, drawing a trail of blood.
"No..."
With a soft "pfft!"
The black longsword pierced straight through his head, leaving traces of white brain matter on the blade.
Huo Yuhao flicked his longsword, and with a casual flick of his wrist, Duan Worshipper Duan, flew directly into the nearby skeleton.
boom.
The sound of bones snapping echoed, and Worshipper Duan never stood up again.
"Are you two alright?"
Huo Yuhao placed his hands on the two women and channeled his Soul Power into their bodies.
The two women let out a soft groan as their Soul Power was immediately replenished, and the overwhelming pressure on their bodies disappeared with Huo Yuhao's help.
"Lord Shadow, you scared me to death!"
Jiang Nannan quickly stood up, tears welling in her eyes, and hugged Huo Yuhao tightly, bursting into tears.
Seeing this, Tang Ya was not to be outdone. She snuggled into Huo Yuhao's arms, feeling the strong sense of security that his solid body gave her.
The feeling of helplessness they had just experienced had left them both still reeling.
Even when facing the Deity alone, they were still powerless to resist.
Huo Yuhao tried to get out from between the two, but before he could even reach out, he was pulled back, and he had no choice but to give up.
His purple eyes were fixed on the white bone gate in front of him. When he tried to cover it with his Spiritual Power, he was met with strong resistance. A fierce Deity aura kept assaulting his mind.
Seeing the open door, Huo Yuhao stopped fighting it, withdrew his Spiritual Power to protect himself, and prepared to enter and explore.
