1084: Chapter 1170: White Bone King 1084: Chapter 1170: White Bone King “Is that even possible?”

When he saw his opponent commit suicide and then be revived, not just Lu Ping’an but even Big Cat, who was well-versed and experienced, was stunned.

But in fact, it was indeed possible!

The festival was nearing its end, and whether actively or passively, the combatants were bearing a level of martial destiny so terrifying.

Under these circumstances, a low-probability killing move was bound to succeed, an insurmountable bottleneck would be broken through, and inspiration that had been elusive for years would suddenly descend like rain from the heavens.

The deadly festivals grew more and more spectacular toward the end.

Many people attributed it simply to temporary breakthroughs amid the fighting, but Lu Ping’an, who had seen through all these rules, took advantage of it along the way, turning it into an opportunity for rapid growth.

And now, as he pressured his opponent into a corner and the opponent’s desperate strike with abysmal odds of success strangely turned into a huge victory, he too wanted to lament the injustice of fate…

“…Unable to match in strength!”

Lu Ping’an, who had made that judgment, was just slapped away by the skeleton monster.

He had tried to divert the force to his body, but Lu Ping’an ached all over.

The monstrosity wasn’t large, now only about three meters tall with white skeletal flesh, but its strength was incomprehensibly immense.

Just a light touch of its feet on the ground created deep pits.

Such pure physical force, in the absence of proper equipment, was incredibly difficult to deal with, and what made Lu Ping’an feel most helpless…

“…The Holy Flame, confirmed ineffective.”

For the first time, Lu Ping’an was truly stumped.

The creature seemed to have adapted to the golden holy fire that almost took its life, even evolving a sort of immunity…

“…No, look closely, there are traces of your Holy Flame in the seams of its bones.

It might not have adapted and overcome it, but ‘possesses’ it now.

It’s a part of its current life form,” Big Cat’s perspective was even more insightful.

While dodging the reckless, forceful swipes of his opponent, Lu Ping’an frowned, trying to understand the intelligence on his enemy.

“Aren’t you the same, having acquired the Holy Flame from your opponent?

Why should you have a miraculous experience but not allow others to possess it?”

Son of Destiny encounters a miraculous monster, and Lu Ping’an didn’t quite know what to say.

“Does it still have its sanity?”

Lu Ping’an was still probing; when he attempted to slide under the opponent and aimed to leave a cut with his Beheading Blade, what greeted him instead was a perfectly timed roll from the opponent, followed by a near-fatal slap.

It seemed that the opponent not only retained its sanity but also was an old stager with ample combat experience.

“Then why is its attack method so rudimentary…”

The bone monster now was just punching and kicking like a street brawl.

Though the moves were rough yet with unexpected finesse, posing quite a threat to Lu Ping’an, they still lacked what a fighter should have…

The eerie synthesized voice echoed in the world, the bone monster’s Fast Fist, now a wild hurricane, forced Lu Ping’an to keep retreating.

Luckily, the opponent still hadn’t acclimated to “combat skills”; fast as it was, the accuracy was evidently poor, and Lu Ping’an managed to evade.

“…Do I still need to spell it out?

It’s adapting to its new body.

It will only get stronger.”

A newborn body needed adjustment, and the occupational trait of a fighter was to turn any body and condition into a weapon.

The bone monster was clearly getting faster, its actions more precise, and its tactics increasingly devious and hard to anticipate.

Lu Ping’an was forced once again to switch to “Energy-devouring Skin”; without it to drastically reduce the kinetic energy’s impact, he would likely have been killed outright.

“This thing is just too unreasonable…

The most outrageous part is that it actually possesses rationality!”

By now, Lu Ping’an had understood what kind of existence he was dealing with.

To put it plainly, it was probably already dead, just not yet buried.

If simply gambling on Talent Abilities could turn death into life, then a professional’s world would be far too easy to navigate.

Its current state was obviously only temporary…

It was more like an “Abnormal Ability” gone berserk, demonizing itself out of control, and now, by a fluke, it had retained its sanity.

“If it kills you, its Martial Destiny might stabilize, and even if that’s not enough, a Deity won’t let its sacrifice end without a victor—it’ll intervene…

What you need to worry about isn’t it, but yourself.”

Big Cat’s words always made one’s blood pressure rise.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s still evolving.

You need to act faster…”

However, at this moment, Lu Ping’an was indeed somewhat out of options.

His punches, whips landed on it, all unable to penetrate its defenses; the hardness of those bones was just too exaggerated…

Even the Abyss Beheading Blade, which urgently needed major repairs, ended up blunted upon striking.

The berserk of Talent Abilities, a Decree-level peak entity that had sacrificed its life to create a demon, was now vaguely moving towards the next stage of evolution.

If it truly crossed that line and became a Rule-level demon…

“Time is not on my side.”

Observing the defensive posture of the skeletal demon, Lu Ping’an confirmed that the current situation was indeed getting worse.

The creature’s bones were beginning to grow again.

The bones were clearly becoming whiter, thicker, the over two-meter-tall monster seemed to be growing, inch by inch becoming taller, larger…

What was even more unacceptable was its speed and strength were also increasing similarly, and it had begun to use Professional Skills like a Fighter’s.

“Hahaha, our Lu Ping’an has encountered a great crisis.

eh, ‘the demon that used to be Sarla’ is advancing.

Although its next form might be the rather unpromising ‘White Bone’ Rule, it’s probably more than the current Lu Ping’an can handle.”

The emcee in the sky mocked Lu Ping’an’s reality of being whacked like a mole, while also vaguely hinting at the current battle situation.

Time was not on Lu Ping’an’s side.

A “Runaway” demon often had a period of rapid growth before going completely insane, and this particular monster was originally at the Decree-level peak…

After another collision, it was still Lu Ping’an who was sent flying.

He had already switched strategies several times, from Drawing Life to slashing (with the Beheading Blade) and punching (Fast Fist), all with no effect.

It was as if the creature before him didn’t adhere to the basic logic of Life forms.

Its entire body had no weak spots, all made of unbreakable white bone.

“Absolute brute force can’t solve the problem, but it can solve the person who brings up the problem…”

Again sent flying by a slap, Lu Ping’an had no choice but to give himself a deferred payment to recover his condition and also had to face this overly harsh reality.

The skeletal monster had grown in size again.

Now, it probably stood over four meters tall, and its massive size did not undermine its speed.

On the contrary, the increased physique and large hands enhanced its ability to strike over a wide area.

“…If it were outside.”

If it were outside, Lu Ping’an would have many possible responses, at the very least he could Escape.

But now, limited to one-on-one…

the mercenary’s original plans, by some twist of fate, had become reality, leaving Lu Ping’an with no way out and most of his abilities to respond sealed off.

He pondered, calculated, and tried.

Time was passing, and a host of strange and various tactics were taken out and tried, yet one after another failed.

As time went on, the skeletal demon was once again clothed in armor, and as a bony crown appeared on its skull, it completed that moment’s drastic transformation.

at least a Quasi-rule level demon.”
