Chapter 29
Sword-Wielding Skeleton
At this moment, his face was filled with terror. He only felt his inner organs on the verge of shattering.
The intense impact rotted his entire lower body!
As he stared at the skeleton walking over with creaking sounds, he frenziedly wanted to gather the spirit qi in his body. However, his spirit sea was at its limit, and he basically couldn’t circulate it.
He then coughed up another large mouthful of blood again and struggled to stand. After that, when he saw the bone sword cleaving down, despair could be seen on his entire face.
“No…!”
Upon sensing the sharpness of the sword’s edge, half of his face already rotted away before the bone sword came in contact with him.
The powerful sword qi destroyed him completely.
At this moment, Scar-Face naturally knew that this skeleton was attracted here by his earlier attack.
In order to attract skeletons to surround the two women, his attack earlier dispersed blood qi in all directions, spreading to almost half of the mall with imposing momentum.
Hence, a thousand regrets filled his heart. If he knew this would happen, how would he dare to do so?
“Why am I so unlucky?!”
In ordinary cases of black fog, there would definitely not have an existence like this sword-wielding skeleton warrior!
As the thought froze in his mind, the sword didn’t even land completely and the sword qi already shattered him into pieces.
Other than despair and pain, his entire head was now disfigured to the point where no one would feel that his original appearance had any resemblance to it. His head looked completely wretched, and it rolled on the ground.
“Ahhh!” The woman with a buxom figure instantly screamed and stared at the scene of despair in front of her.
Her protector had died, so how would she still have a chance to survive?
At this moment, she looked at Lin Chang`an and felt that he was the last ray of light in this despair.
In fact, she even felt like kneeling right now to serve him. After all, that was her greatest capability.
“Save me! My tongue…”
Her voice abruptly stopped as she couldn’t even resist the sword qi. The skeleton ended this person’s life with a casual wave of its hand.
“Wielding a bone sword, it is equal to a first-realm expert,” Su Xi`er spoke heavily.
“First-realm?” Lin Chang`an started. From the clean actions of this skeleton, it looked like it could easily crush first-realm experts.
“Humans, when compared to other species, are basically the weakest in the same cultivation realm. Our only advantage is our intelligence and various methods at our disposal. If we fight head-on, demonic beasts and the ghostly and undead entities are all stronger than humans…”
Su Xi’er`s hands glowed with radiance.
She had yet to step into the first realm, but she could already use weaker versions of spirit techniques. This was simply incredible.
Hence, bright light streamed unceasingly forward, slamming into the bodies of the other skeletons.
“These skeletons haven’t reached the first-realm yet, so they have no intellect. However, their bodies are abnormally tough and much stronger than ordinary humans. As for that sword-wielding skeleton, it has reached the first-realm and would surely have some intelligence.”
The two of them protected Chu Li. The skeleton with the bone sword was already looking over in their direction.
There were no solutions as the distance was too close. They had nowhere to hide.
It stomped down and leaped over tens of meters high at the next moment.
After that, the sound of a violent wind rang out as its sword cleaved over!
Meanwhile, the smaller skeletons in the surroundings didn’t fear death, and they were so densely packed that not even a drop of water could pass through them.
When Lin Chang`an saw the bone sword falling, he gritted his teeth and charged forward to meet it.
His qi and blood abruptly blazed and a vast power began churning like a tsunami wave, brimming with destructive might, wanting to break everything!
A huge boom then echoed out upon the collision. Lin Chang`an suddenly felt that the qi and blood in his body were vibrating vigorously. He was then knocked back by the impact and got thrown backward.
After that, he felt his back pressing into something soft like he was leaning against something.
Lin Chang`an glanced at his fist and intense pain assailed his senses.
After all, he didn’t have spirit qi. When he used his body to clash against the monsters, if it wasn’t for the reinforcement of his robust qi and blood, his fist would have shattered into pieces from his punch.
Right now, he saw a deep wound on his fist, and some strange yin energy began squirming at the wound, akin to worms.
The sword-wielding skeleton seemed to let out a peal of laughter filled with malice.
Although its intellect wasn’t high, it told him that once a human was infected by the strange yin energy, their qi and blood would solidify, and they would have no way to exert any more strength.
After that, it turned and glanced in other directions, no longer bothering about this place.
The minor skeletons under him should be enough to kill these humans now.
But just when it turned, it suddenly started as it felt some sort of fierce power.
At this moment, Lin Chang`an’s body blazed with yang energy, and that strange yin energy seemed to encounter its bane upon coming in contact with the yang energy. It was directly burned into ashes and vanished in the dim lighting.
Joy filled Lin Chang`an’s face. “My qi and blood has the pure yang attribute. I can counter all these yin-attributed entities completely.”
This strange yin energy was probably the biggest thing the skeleton was relying on, but it was completely ineffective on him.
As he pondered, he rushed at the minor skeleton swarm.
From inward to outward, his yang energy surged forth, and every punch equated to a minor skeleton being shattered.
“Aoooo~” The sword-wielding skeleton threw its head up and howled with anger. It then rushed forward, wanting to kill this human.
As it waved its bone sword from afar, sword qi gushed forth!
Seeing this, Su Xi`er flickered her finger out, and a beam of light collided against the sword qi. After that, the impact of the collision even caused many of the minor skeletons to be sent flying!
“The commotion here is too great, and we might attract even more first-realm skeletons. We have to end the battle as soon as possible…”
Su Xi`er glanced at the surroundings.
There were so many skeletons here. It was too difficult if they wanted to flee and hide.
If they didn’t kill this first-realm skeleton, they would have no hope.
As Su Xi`er contemplated, she exchanged a glance with Lin Chang`an. The two of them then acted in total harmony. Lin Chang`an stomped heavily on the ground and bore with the pain as he punched out again!
Bang! The sharp sound of metal clashing against metal rang out in the ears of everyone.
Lin Chang`an only felt as though his entire body was about to be crippled. He was sent flying once again.
As for Su Xi`er, she pointed her finger forward and a green beam of light exploded into the skeleton’s chest.
The skeleton trembled lightly and opened its mouth as though it felt some pain. It could see that a small hole had appeared on its chest, however, the might of the light beam wasn’t enough to penetrate its body cleanly.
“This…?” Su Xi`er’s expression sank.
The depth of this hole was too shallow. Even if she continuously attacked and exhausted all her energy, she might not be able to cleanly penetrate it!
“Buy me some time!” Lin Chang`an also discovered the problem as his expression sank.
“What do you want to do?” Just as she spoke, she saw that Lin Chang`an had sunk into a state of contemplation. “Did you gain…enlightenment?”
She didn’t have time to think too much because the minor skeletons at the side also charged over.
She pointed her fingers multiple times outward, penetrating these skeletons with light beams.
However, the sword-wielding skeleton directly roared and swept his sword forth, unleashing a wave of sword qi that wanted to neutralize everything.
The incomparably yin energy instantly ripped apart the fog. His sword was actually reinforced by the fog and instantly landed!
Seeing this scene, Su Xi`er’s countenance turned heavy. She folded mudras and the energy in her body gathered at one point before she managed to shoot out a beam of green light with difficulty!
A huge boom rang out as the collision dispersed the light completely.
Su Xi`er coughed and was forced back several steps by the impact. When she looked at her finger again, there was actually a thin wound there now.
“I’m already so careful, yet the yin-attributed strange energy still entered my body?!”
Terror flashed in her heart and she struggled to gather more energy to attack once more. But all of a sudden, a thick and warm hand patted her shoulder. “I’m done!”
Lin Chang`an lightly exhaled.
It was extremely fortunate that the simulations were very quick.
“In this simulation, I trained my fist art for a total of 42 years. Other than training my first art, I didn’t do anything else, so my mastery has reached the transcendent level. Let’s see if I can crush you!”
Intense confidence filled his heart.
