Reborn Medicine King

Wan Chengfeng nodded. "Let's see your people perform."    

Jiang Fann wasted no time and summoned Xiao Mo and Gu Xie.    

Once they appeared, they glanced around, puzzled by their presence in the air. Gu Xie sniffed the air, then looked down at the ground, eyes lighting up at the sight of the bones.    

Xiao Mo followed Gu Xie's gaze and was equally surprised by the Bone Clan.    

"Seventh level of the Reincarnation Realm!"    

However, she wasn't the least bit nervous. To her, as long as the opponent's level didn't reach the Celestial Realm, it made no difference. Moreover, the Bone Clan royalty was entirely different from Gu Xie; their bloodline power wasn't even on the same level. Gu Xie had not only fused with royal blood but had also undergone a bloodline awakening, reaching a strength comparable to divine blood.    

Gu Xie calmly raised his bone staff. "I can handle this alone."    

Xiao Mo said, "I'll cut off his escape route for you. Be careful."    

With that, they transformed into streaks of light, descending rapidly from the sky and disappearing in an instant.    

Wan Chengfeng, now much stronger, could see their figures. In moments, they were near the Bone Clan, and a fierce battle was imminent.    

Hidden beneath the bones, the Bone Clan didn't notice the presence of the two individuals until their energy was released, snapping him out of his daze. Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted, and the white bones above were enveloped in a golden glow, transforming into a barrier of golden bones that blocked the approach of the two.    

Gu Xie made his move, and his bone staff emitted a radiant light. His bone spikes struck the barrier, shattering the golden bones into dust, visibly diminishing them at an incredible speed. Despite the higher realm of the opponent, the power gap was evident, and Gu Xie had the upper hand.    

As the barrier rapidly disintegrated, a massive golden bone warrior emerged with a thunderous roar, followed by a swarm of bone soldiers. They charged toward Gu Xie and Xiao Mo, exuding an intimidating aura, reminiscent of an ant colony on the attack. The sheer spectacle was terrifying, regardless of the actual threat.    

For Wan Chengfeng, this scene was nothing new. He had witnessed such tactics from the demons before, regardless of which realm they hailed from. Their strategy was always overwhelming numbers, and it never failed to astonish.    

Unfortunately, such tactics were nothing to Gu Xie and Xiao Mo, who were adept in their dark arts. The ghostly general, sensing Xiao Mo's superior combat strength, charged directly at her. However, as soon as they clashed, Xiao Mo shattered its arm with a single strike, dismantling the bone general effortlessly.    

Meanwhile, Gu Xie plunged into the pile of bones, her focus locked on the skeletal figure, determined not to give it a chance. Her goal was clear: absorb its power for herself.    

In the next moment, a golden glow shot out from the bone pile. The menacing golden skeleton, sensing danger, tried to flee in one direction, clearly avoiding a direct confrontation with Gu Xie. But Xiao Mo had anticipated this escape attempt and blocked its path immediately, while Gu Xie positioned herself behind it, trapping the skeleton between them.    

"Why do you have the treasure of my realm?" the skeleton demanded.    

Gu Xie remained silent. Xiao Mo had taken the treasure to help Jiang Fann fend off an invasion, nearly losing her life in the process. The incident had been covered up by the realm's leaders and never became public knowledge.    

Xiao Mo, however, was straightforward. "Surrender and let the master absorb your power. It'll spare you some pain."    

The skeleton retorted angrily, "Absorb my power? Ridiculous! I am the true king..."    

He hadn't finished speaking when Gu Xie charged at him. With a wave of his hand, a golden skeletal warrior materialized, resembling the Bone Clan's creation but even more menacing.    

"You..."    

In just two strides, the skeletal warrior was upon him, swinging its bone sword directly at his head. The Bone Clan member, seeing the sword descending, hurriedly used his own bone magic to defend, as dodging was no longer an option.    

A shield formed above his head to block the sword's attack, but in that instant, a golden bone spike pierced through his chest. He stared ahead in shock, golden flames flickering in his hollow eye sockets. He hadn't realized that while his attention was on the skeletal warrior, Gu Xie had somehow closed the distance and struck him with bone magic.    

In the next moment, he felt his strength being rapidly drained. In the blink of an eye, the bone in his chest turned to dust, his power completely absorbed by the opponent.    

A massive roar echoed from behind. The giant blue bear, which had been sitting on the ground, let out a beastly howl and then rose to its feet, unleashing a powerful aura.    

The massive bear slammed its enormous paw onto the ground, causing a tremor that sent a crack snaking toward Gu Xie. Within the fissure lay colossal skeletons, and from above, Jiang Fann and his companion watched with furrowed brows. They weren't intimidated, but rather mourned the lives lost at the hands of the Bone Clan.    

The bear unleashed its earth-shaking power and charged into the fray, its thunderous footsteps a testament to its immense strength. The Bone Clan member glowed with a golden light, channeling all his energy into the ground. The skeletons seemed to respond to his power, emitting a formidable aura as they dispersed and reassembled, clearly forming some massive bone warrior.    

He was already contemplating every possible means to save himself, feeling an indescribable pressure from the woman before him. She hadn't uttered a word, making it clear she had no intention of negotiating. Her goal was simple: to consume his power, instilling him with an invisible fear.    

The sky-blue bear approached Gu Xie from behind, raising its massive paw high before bringing it down, aiming to assist the Bone Clan in breaking free.    

At that moment, a massive golden wall of bones rose behind Gu Xie, forming a barrier that blocked the bear's claws. Gu Xie then twirled the bone staff in his hand, transforming the wall into a colossal shield that enveloped him and his allies. No matter how powerful the bear was, it couldn't break through the bone wall, only producing deafening sounds with little effect.    

Meanwhile, skeletal structures continued to assemble from the ground's cracks, though their pace had slowed significantly. Xiao Mo sprang into action, appearing before the bear and delivering a powerful kick that sent the massive creature flying, showcasing a strength on a completely different level.    

Xiao Mo unleashed her technique, black spiritual energy covering the cracks, causing the skeletal structures to instantly disintegrate and scatter. Watching the battle from above, Wan Chengfeng's eyes flickered, struggling to remain calm. The Bone Realm royalty was notoriously formidable, challenging even for major sects to handle, yet Xiao Mo and her companion had easily subdued them, nullifying their abilities.    

Gu Xie, wielding the power of the fourth level of the Reincarnation Stage, suppressed his opponent across three minor stages, leaving them defenseless. "Is this what bloodline suppression looks like?" Jiang Fann remarked with a smile, "Surprised? There's a reason Xiao Mo calls her 'master.'"    

Wan Chengfeng finally understood how terrifying the woman who wielded the bone technique truly was. The massive blue bear had clearly lost consciousness, acting only on instinct. Each time it charged, Xiao Mo would kick it away, its enormous form bouncing like a ball.    

Xiao Mo seemed a bit bored and glanced up at the sky. "Master, this creature still has a bit of life left. Should we spare it?"    

After speaking, Xiao Mo took the initiative, using her spiritual strength to pin the bear to the ground. Without hesitation, she extracted all the golden bones from its body. As the bones were removed, the bear's aura quickly weakened until it was completely immobilized, black blood oozing from its wounds. Though it still had a faint breath, it was on the brink of death.    

Jiang Fann descended from the sky with Wan Chengfeng. With Xiao Mo suppressing the bone technique, the ground was no longer dangerous. As for the Bone Realm royalty, they were now trapped within the bone wall by Gu Xie, their fate sealed.    

"I never expected a powerful beast like this to end up in such a state," Wan Chengfeng remarked. "If we don't heal it, it'll die soon. I can't understand why it released that demon."    

Xiao Mo approached Jiang Fann and said directly, "It would be a waste for it to just die. Why not let me absorb its power instead?"    

Jiang Fann ignored Xiao Mo, not intending to let her act on her own. He leaped onto the giant bear, feeling the creature's aura. It was still trying hard to regain its strength, showing signs of consciousness. Jiang Fann channeled his spiritual strength into the bear to assess its injuries, then turned to look at Wan Chengfeng on the ground.    

"Wan, I've got a gift for you," Jiang Fann announced.    

Wan Chengfeng looked at him, puzzled by his words.    

Jiang Fann explained, "This sky-blue bear has regained some awareness. If you want it as a battle companion and it agrees, I'll help heal it. Its bloodline is powerful, and having it by your side would be quite impressive—much more so than Fang Xiang's big black dog."    

Wan Chengfeng was initially taken aback, but then a smile spread across his face. He had always envied Fang Xiang for having a battle companion. Although this bear wasn't as advanced as the black wolf, it was certainly more imposing, and its bloodline was nearly as strong. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a guardian beast for a sect.    

"You're giving it to me? Don't you need it yourself, Brother Jiang?" he asked.    

Xiao Mo chimed in, "The master has me, and that's enough..."    

Wan Chengfeng chuckled, then flew up to the bear's head, attempting to communicate with it using his spiritual sense. He indeed sensed a very weak response.    

The massive blue bear, despite its severe injuries, was still trying to heal itself, clearly driven by a strong will to survive. In just a moment, it responded to Wan Chengfeng without any hesitation.
