The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 90 Both sides suffer losses
According to Blackwater Butcher's prediction, this black energy illusion attack should at least severely injure the old man on the other side, leaving him on the verge of death. After all, the real Elder Fu was killed in one move by General Kugu Bai using this technique!
But the result?

When it was my turn to use it, the opponent only spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered some minor injuries. If I hadn't taken precautions and used the black energy of the snake-patterned scepter to deliver an unprecedented "millstone" black water claw strike behind the tombstone, it would have been difficult to seriously injure the opponent!
"Could it be that my cultivation level is not high enough?" Blackwater Butcher couldn't help but fall into troubled thought, his heart pounding with anger.

Back then, the Blackwater Sect was suppressed by the Weiyun Sect, which made him unhappy; now, he himself is still being suppressed by that old man Ling Weiyun, which makes him resentful!

"Collect...!" Without time to think further, taking advantage of Blackwater Butcher's momentary daze, the withered old man roared again, and thousands of colorful lights burst forth from the Kunpeng Luoshen Diagram, pulling the struggling skeleton of the evil demon into it in one fell swoop.

"Damn it—!" A gust of cold wind swept in, and this sudden outburst of power finally snapped the stunned old man out of his daze. Blackwater Butcher leaped up in a rage, his eyes trembling as he stared at the eerie painting in front of the withered old man. It was that damned, strange magic weapon that had once again devoured an evil demon.

"Go...!" A strong sense of crisis shot out from the front. Ling Weiyun's clone quickly flashed past the huge skeleton wrapped in colorful light in front of him. With a sudden push of his old hand, a ball of blue, violent thunder met him again.

Even if it means being severely injured, we must hold off the enemy, because we have reached the critical moment of devouring the last evil demon, and we cannot afford any mistakes!

"Boom—!" Sand and stones flew as the two old hands clashed violently. The black water writhed and emitted a corrosive force comparable to sulfuric acid. Upon contact, the raging lightning aura trembled precariously.

Immediately afterwards, an abnormal flush appeared on Ling Weiyun's clone's face. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily, but successfully stopped the opponent's destructive momentum.

"Cough, cough...!" Upon closer inspection, a trace of bright red blood seeped from the corner of Blackwater Butcher's mouth. Clearly, the backlash from the intense clash was also making him feel unwell.

Both of them were injured and had been fighting frequently and intensely for so long, which had taken a huge toll on their bodies and minds. As their power of the ghosts and gods was nearly exhausted, they began to show signs of fatigue.

The worst part is that fatigue and weakness are also starting to appear!

"Damn it—!" Watching the last skeleton howl and struggle in the painting, Blackwater Butcher was both shocked and furious. Although he didn't know what level the magical scroll was, it didn't stop a strong greed from showing in his eyes.

"Let's burn our bridges! We'll fight tooth and nail for this treasure!"

Blackwater Butcher's eyes flickered slightly. After gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, he decided to use a secret technique and, despite being severely injured and punished by White Bone General, actively destroy this last skeleton!
"Old man! Do you think it's so easy to take what evil spirit masters keep?" Seeing the old man opposite him with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious and terrifying face, the withered old man's weariness vanished, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding...!
"The black snake transformed into energy and vanished—"

The skeleton kills—

……

A deep, obscure, and drawn-out incantation was chanted from Blackwater Butcher's mouth. Immediately, wisps of evil power erupted from the serpentine scepter, enveloping a wandering black snake formed from black mist, and were injected into the massive white skeleton, which stood two and a half meters tall and was shrouded in colorful light.

The withered old man's heart skipped a beat. He tried to create some distance, but the fierce old man opposite him held him back, preventing him from breaking free. He could only watch as the evil demon, which was originally wrapped in green light, slowly turned into a dangerous blood red... "Clang...!" A shrill ghostly cry rang out. The two-meter-tall skeleton was surrounded by burning blood-red flames, and its creaking body was growing to nearly three meters in size, as if it were about to crack open, stretching itself in great pain.

"Boom!...!"

Boom——!
As Blackwater Butcher uttered his final incantation, the skeleton, now three meters in size, exploded like a powerful bomb. The colorful light quickly dimmed, and the mighty explosion instantly broke through the restraining force.

The Kunpeng Luoshen Tu cried out in sorrow as it flew away. Although it was unwilling to let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away, it still quickly bloomed with thousands of dazzling colors and turned around to rush towards the withered old man who had been ravaged by the wave.

"Pfft—!" Ling Weiyun's clone looked horrified and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, thinking that he was doomed this time. Unexpectedly, a colorful scroll suddenly appeared in front of him and thickly enveloped his body when the next wave of energy arrived.

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

A devastating aura surged forth wave after wave, crashing against the shore. Amidst the turmoil, a faint, stubborn glimmer of color still flickered. Feng Ling felt a pang of pain in his heart; he could sense a tender affection emanating from the Kunpeng Luoshen Diagram!

"Pfft—!" Blackwater Butcher, who had retreated violently, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura plummeted, dropping to a mere ninth level within a few breaths, stopping at the peak of the eighth level. Immediately afterward, a fierce gust of wind howled, blowing his swaying body down into the chaotic pile of graves, where he struggled.

This guy was extremely vicious before. When he saw that the skeleton was about to explode, he took advantage of the situation and launched a powerful claw attack, forcing Ling Weiyun's clone towards the center of the explosion behind him. He then took the opportunity to use the recoil to retreat rapidly in the opposite direction from the source of the explosion.

Judging from Blackwater Butcher's perspective, after this explosion, if anyone is to die, it will be the one closest to him. After the opponent's power is mostly dissipated, Blackwater Butcher, who is furthest away, might be able to survive unscathed with the help of the Serpent Scepter!

Unfortunately, his idea was far too optimistic. This earth-shattering explosion was at least equivalent to the full-force attack of a beginner legendary expert! How could it be resolved with just this short buffer distance and the serpentine scepter?

If Blackwater Butcher hadn't foreseen that the withered old man would be the first to be hit, thus negating most of the energy, he wouldn't have survived unscathed; in fact, it would be questionable whether he could even lie on the ground alive and gasping for breath!

"Boom—!" The ground collapsed and caved in violently, and the entire cemetery disintegrated. After the array base was damaged and the array was destroyed, large sections of the black gas barrier were mercilessly torn apart. Then, like a dreamlike bubble, it vanished into thin air, slowly revealing the long-lost outside world.

"Cough cough...!" Two violent coughs came from the ruins of the tomb. Fifty meters apart, on the rubble, two old figures collapsed, coughing up blood, barely clinging to life...!
Both sides suffer!
