I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 150: Chapter 49: Rivers of Lava, Undying Corpses!

The scorching molten lava scoured the ground, continuously converging and finally flowing into a gurgling river.

The original Flame Village had been completely devoured by the molten lava, and newly spouting lava continued to pour into this river.

Han Zhan stepped into the molten lava, racing at high speed towards the body of the Phoenix Perch Wood.

At this moment, from within the withered, dull vines above his head, a budding crimson flower suddenly bloomed, and from the flower, a figure fell down, blocking his path.

It was a white skeleton!

Its entire body was made of white bones, without a single inch of flesh.

When it stepped into the lava, the scorching lava caused its leg bones to smoke sizzle, yet even so, it did not hinder its movement.

The white skeleton wasted no words, lunging at Han Zhan.

As it wielded the Bone Blade and swung it horizontally past Han Zhan’s face, if not for Han Zhan’s quick reflexes, he would have lost his nose to this plain and straightforward slash!

”Tier Seven!”

Han Zhan was currently at Tier Six strength; the speed that nearly caught him off guard had to be at least Tier Seven!

Missing its first strike, the white skeleton stepped hard into the searing lava, recklessly bowed forward, and thrust its blade straight at Han Zhan’s heart.

Clang!

A Qi Blade shot forth from behind Han Zhan as he raised his hand.

The hardened Bone Blade deflected the Zither Sound Air Blade attack; the second Zither Sound Air Blade followed closely, hitting the white skeleton in the chest as it couldn’t block in time.

Bang!

A dull collision sound echoed.

The Zither Sound Air Blade pierced the white skeleton’s chest, breaking a few ribs, but in the next second, the broken bones rapidly regenerated.

High-speed regeneration!

Had this white skeleton inherited the Phoenix Blood’s ability?!

Moreover, being a white skeleton, it feared no pain and exhaustion and could trade injuries for injuries without hesitation, always striking with full force.

Though its moves were simple, bolstered by Tier Seven power, they still posed a great threat to Han Zhan.

He was slightly careless, and the white skeleton landed a slash on him.

The blade was sharper than expected, even managing to cut through the invincible Celestial Serpent Body, leaving a deep wound visible to the bone.

Seizing the opportunity, Han Zhan launched a close-range attack, pounding several Zither Sound Air Blades into the white skeleton, shattering it into fragments that exploded and scattered!

Just as Han Zhan thought he had successfully dealt with it, unexpectedly, the fragments that had dissipated in the sky suddenly reassembled as if the film was playing in reverse!

The white skeleton resurrected once more before Han Zhan’s eyes.

”Isn’t this ability a bit overpowered?” Han Zhan was quite shocked to see this scene.

Facing a Tier Seven opponent was already difficult, the white skeleton’s defense wasn’t weak either, and it wasn’t afraid to trade blows. Even after being blown to pieces, it could resurrect?

How could he fight against such enemies?

Before Han Zhan could finish criticizing mentally, a second bud had already bloomed above him.

Another white skeleton was born!

Not just one!

The appearance of two Tier Seven white skeletons made the battle situation even more dangerous.

The two white skeletons attacked in front and behind, their actions of wielding the Bone Blade eerily synchronized, like perfectly coordinated robots, flanking and encircling.

Han Zhan dodged to the side.

They seemed to have anticipated this move, once again slashing horizontally in unison, two sharp blade lights sweeping past Han Zhan’s neck.

Boom boom boom boom!

The Fu Xi Zither launched four slashes successively, once again reducing the skeletons to dust.

But the next second, before Han Zhan could pull back, the resurrecting white skeletons had already begun restoring from dust, still maintaining the charging momentum. Then their arms, bodies, legs, and finally heads restored.

Han Zhan’s shoulders were instantly struck left and right simultaneously.

The bones pierced into him, blood seeping along the blades from both shoulders.

Amid excruciating pain, Han Zhan was knocked flying backward by the immense inertia of the two Tier Seven opponents.

The two white skeletons did not relent, pressing hard with their Blades, dragging Han Zhan a short distance through the river of lava.

It wasn’t until Han Zhan shattered the two Bone Blades that he managed to escape.

He panted lightly a few breaths.

The pain from his shoulder made his mind even clearer.

Since breaking through to Tier Six and contracting the four Ancient Divine Soldiers, he rarely encountered such a dire situation.

Without overwhelming combat power, he needed to use his brain.

The third bud appeared, the third white skeleton emerged on Han Zhan’s back right.

The three skeletons advanced in unison once more, adopting the same combat stance, unleashing their next strike at Tier Seven’s full power.

Han Zhan released a faint white aura from his body.

Fourth Urgent Lock, open!

Simultaneously, the Fu Xi Zither’s tune completed its switch; it was no longer ”Array Breaking” representing enemy-slaying and Zither Sound Air Blade release, but had changed to ”Dragon Soaring Technique” capable of self-enhancement.

Eight Urgent Fist, paired with Dragon Soaring Technique.

Han Zhan abandoned the advantage of long-range attacks against his opponents, switching to close combat, engaging them with real fists.

In close combat mode, Han Zhan’s power soared, reaching mid-upper Tier Seven level, not far from the peak.

With this power boost, he could finally keep up with the white skeletons’ speed.

The gloves gifted by eldest martial brother were worn on his hands; each punch he threw accompanied by thick Blood Evil Energy.

Now two ”dragons” circled and chased around Han Zhan, resembling two dragons playing with a pearl.

One ”dragon” was white mist, representing the release of the Eight Urgent Fist’s Urgent Lock.

The other ”dragon” was Blood Evil Energy, representing the gloves’ killing frenzy and its insane blood energy.

Entangled with these two dragons, Han Zhan’s punches became even more terrifyingly fierce, directly smashing the head of the white skeleton in front of him with a single punch.

Then a second punch to the chest, a third punch to the entire body.

The white skeleton repeated its old trick, attempting a third resurrection.

Suddenly, Han Zhan’s eyes flashed, as he swiftly extracted something from the continually regenerating skeletons.

It was a white bead.

Tightly gripped in Han Zhan’s gloved hand.

As Han Zhan extracted the bead and crushed it, in the next moment, the rapidly regenerating white skeleton instantly collapsed, turning into piles of ashes, vanishing.

Resurrection failed!

”I was right, there has to be something on you that cannot be resurrected. It is the key to your endless resurrection.”

”Earlier, using the Fu Xi Zither for attacks, the large commotion of long-range assaults masked the trickery during your resurrection. Besides, even if discovered, it was too late to prevent it.”

After switching to close combat mode, such problems no longer existed.

Han Zhan uncovered the secret of the white skeletons’ infinite resurrection, his eyes filled once more with fighting spirit, gazing at the other surrounding skeletons.

”You no longer pose a threat to me.”
