Guo Ran was even angrier than Xia Chen. Although he was ostracized at the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy,
But that's how the cultivation world works: too many wolves, little meat, and so many resources. If you want to stand out, you have to compete.
But Gongsun Xuan, as the pavilion master, actually conspired with his granddaughter to harm others—and even those who had helped the Lingwen Pavilion. This was utterly despicable, shameless, and utterly insane.
What Guo Ran found most unacceptable was that they deceived Xia Chen emotionally. The pain caused by such hurt was unbearable.
"Let's go. It's about time. We need to move somewhere. Gongsun and the others have tampered with me somehow, but they can always find my rough location." Xia Chen said.
These days of forgetfulness helped Xia Chen find a pattern. He wondered if it was because he had cultivated the secret techniques of the Lingwen Pavilion, but the other party could slowly deduce his location.
"No more, someone's coming. We'll just kill them." Guo Ran said bitterly.
"Killing them is pointless. These people are just cannon fodder, used by the Lingwen Pavilion to interfere with me. There's no need to waste time with them." Xia Chen said.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Xia Chen is right. There's really no need to waste time with them."
Ji Wuying suffered a loss and ran away. Next time, either he won't act, or if he does, it will be thunderous. Of course, I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid you'll suffer a huge loss.
This person possesses the Supreme Bone and controls spatial power. He is a terrifying assassin himself, extremely difficult to deal with, and cannot be taken lightly.
Xia Chen hasn't fully recovered yet, and Guo Ran, don't you have important matters to discuss with him?? "
That's right!"
Guo Ran slapped his thigh and jumped up excitedly.
The three of them teleported several times and moved to a different location. After that, Guo Ran proudly took out his jet-black arm bone to show Xia Chen.
When Xia Chen saw the runes on the black arm bones, he jumped up in fright:
"These runes... It is a rune born and nurtured by heaven and earth—how could it appear on a person? "
Heh, just kidding. This is a Supreme Bone. Supreme-level prodigies are all children of the heavens. This is a gift bestowed upon them by heaven and earth, so of course it's extraordinary."
But the boss snatched this gift and gave it to me. Xia Chen, I know you're the best when it comes to rune magic. Look at how this thing can be attached to me."
I've been nurturing this thing for a while, and it's gradually bearing my spiritual imprint. I believe you must have a way, right? Guo Ran looked at Xia Chen with an urgent expression and said.
At this moment, Guo Ran was like a child, extremely anxious, afraid that Xia Chen would reveal he had no choice, as if waiting for the verdict—whether to be executed after autumn or released without charge? It all depended on what Xia Chen would say.
Xia Chen gently stroked the jet-black arm bone, his face filled with shock and seriousness. He had never touched such a rune before, and after staring at it for nearly half an hour, sweat was streaming down Xia Chen's forehead.
Xia Chen started sweating, and Guo Ran sweated too. Xia Chen stared at the jet-black arm bone, Guo Ran stared at Xia Chen, neither blinking an eye.
"Absolutely perfect, a masterpiece of the Heavenly Dao, a masterpiece crafted by divine axes. Truly breathtaking." Xia Chen looked at it for a long time, then said with a look of admiration.
"Damn, don't be shocked. Can I use this arm?" Guo Ran said impatiently.
"It can be used, but you'll probably have to pay a heavy price yourself. First, you need to cut off one of your own arms, then gradually implant some runes from the black arm bones onto your other bones. Only then can this arm fit with you faster.
Moreover, the fusion can't be achieved overnight; it requires many sessions. Each fusion is extremely painful, no less than the dragon blood body forging the boss gave us back then. You need to be mentally prepared.
Moreover, the source of power for this black arm bone lies in the power of the bloodline. Now that you have the boss's dragon blood power, you can control it.
However, because the source of your power is different, the black arm bone needs to gradually adapt to the power of dragonblood, and at the beginning, you'll have to endure quite a bit of pain.
This kind of pain only disappears when their powers fully unite. You must think carefully: once you take this step, you can't turn back. Xia Chen said sternly.
"That's not true. When have I, Guo Ran, ever been afraid of pain?" Showing off comes at a price. The boss said, if you want to be famous in public, you have to suffer behind the scenes.
The more suffering I've endured behind the scenes, the more noble I can be in front of others. Damn it, from now on I'll wear armor, carry broadswords on my shoulders, and have the bones of a supreme being. From now on, I'll be able to look at people through my nose.
Come on, brother, let's get started. Stop talking about useless stuff—if you say too much, your confidence will be ruined. Guo Ran gritted his teeth and stretched out his right arm.
"Not yet. I need to copy the runes of the black arm bone and plant it on you. Let your bones become more compatible with it before you can install it. Otherwise, this black arm bone is too strong and will shatter all your bones." Xia Chen said.
After saying that, Xia Chen got to work, taking out a delicate table, an inscription pen, and hundreds of powders of various colors, mixing the powder into a liquid.
Strangely, when all the various colored powders fused together, they turned black, and even their aura was identical to the bone arm. Long Chen couldn't help but marvel. The art of inscriptions was also part of the Great Dao, sharing a subtle similarity to alchemy. At a certain extreme, there was no superiority or inferiority.
Xia Chen first rubbed the runes on his bone arm one by one, then began copying them, ensuring the two were perfectly matched. Only then did he begin carving on the talisman paper.
A talisman must be copied hundreds of times. After hundreds of writings and writing into a talisman, it is continuously detonated and tested to test its power before it can be used.
When Xia Chen detonated a rune the size of a fingernail, huge ripples appeared in the space. The power was probably comparable to a full-force strike from a late-stage Realm King, and Guo Ran was stunned with fear.
This thing is so terrifyingly powerful—if it stuck to his bones, wouldn't it take him half his life? But the harsh words had already been spoken, leaving no way out. Guo Ran simply stopped looking, running aside, claiming to be their guardian, but in reality, he was afraid that if he kept watching, he wouldn't have the courage to install the black arm bones.
Time passed little by little. The three of them stopped and walked, and three days passed quickly. During these three days, Xia Chen had carved more than 3,600 runes, finally completing the task.
"Guo Ran, come here!" Xia Chen said.
Guo Ran's face turned pale at that moment, but he took a deep breath and ultimately extended his right arm.
"Pfft"
Without another word, Xia Chen severed Guo Ran's arm with a single stroke, causing Guo Ran to grimace in pain.
"Puff puff puff... Xia Chen waved his other hand, and 3,600 talismans, each the size of a fingernail, spread in different directions and covered Guo Ran's entire body.
"Ah..."
Guo Ran could no longer hold back and let out a piercing scream. The runes landed on him like insects, burrowing into his flesh and sticking to his bones.
"Boss, it's starting!" Xia Chen held the bone arm and said in a deep voice.
Long Chen nodded, placing one hand on Guo Ran's back. At that moment, Xia Chen's bony arm pressed against Guo Ran's severed arm.
"Boom"—
when the bone arm met Guo Ran's bones, there was a loud bang, the sound of bones shattering, and Guo Ran instantly lost consciousness.
