Free Web NovelChapter 749: Chapter 184: Just This Handsome! (Second Update)
Bam—!
Crash—!
"Roar—!"
Ji Yaohua’s fan whirled through the air, stirring up bursts of golden light wherever it passed, mixed with gray-white bone fragments.
The eerie roars echoed endlessly, sending shivers down the spine.
Ying Ze swung the long weapon in his hand, constantly sweeping it towards the approaching skeletons. His spiritual power was already tinged with a faint golden hue, ready to enter the Golden Realm at any moment.
The long weapon stabbed fiercely at the skeletons, resulting in a burst of shattering bones.
The two stood back to back, faces cold and firm, eyes vigilantly scanning the surrounding skeleton soldiers that were continuously closing in on them, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.
"Jie jie..."
A sinister laugh emanated from the mouths of the skeleton soldiers, their eye sockets glowing with clusters of green fire.
"Damn it! How did we get so unlucky to provoke these guys!" Ji Yaohua gritted his teeth and said.
Ying Ze swung the long weapon in his hand, his face looking very grim. Upon hearing Ji Yaohua’s words, he shot him a cold glance, "Who told you to mess with their weapons?"
Ji Yaohua’s face turned awkward, embarrassed, "How was I supposed to know they could still rise and fight after becoming skeletons? I just thought the dagger looked nice and wanted to bring it back for Pianpian. Besides, I did put it back!"
"However, they have no intention of letting us go," Ying Ze coldly stated the fact.
After recuperating, the two of them continued to move forward, just as Mu Qingge and the others had expected, hoping to regroup.
Along the way, it was relatively calm.
Those unkillable green-skinned monsters did not appear again. However, as they passed by a peculiar battlefield relic, an unexpected situation arose.
This particular battlefield relic was different from others.
Their bodies hadn’t petrified; they had simply turned into skeletons.
Layer upon layer spread across the ground, appearing as a patch of whiteness from afar. The two, while passing through here, remained cautious at all times. But when Ji Yaohua’s eyes fixed on a dagger adorned on skeleton armor, the incident occurred.
"These skeletons must be suicidal, wanting a fight. As Young Master, I’ll send them on their way! Once these skeletons are all smashed to bone fragments, I’m still going to reclaim that dagger!" Ji Yaohua fiercely declared, gripping his fan and launching a violent attack.
Ying Ze was not to be outdone, swinging the long weapon in his hand back and forth, constantly shattering those skeletons. Even occasionally, sweeping in circles with formidable strength, he directly smashed those skeletons into bone fragments.
Yet, after fighting for a while, the two realized something was amiss!
The skeletons whose bodies were damaged did not die again as expected.
In their skulls, the green glow remained unextinguished. Each skull emitted a gnashing sound, rolling towards them like snowballs.
"Holy sh**!" Ji Yaohua’s toes were almost bitten by a skull. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, swiftly lifted his foot, and stomped down hard, shattering the skull.
At that moment, the green glow finally drifted out of the skull and quickly disappeared.
Ji Yaohua didn’t notice the green light vanishing, instead, he turned to Ying Ze and said, "These monsters need to be smashed directly in the head!"
Ying Ze silently nodded.
The punch he swung directly shattered the skull flying towards him.
As expected, once the skeleton’s head was smashed, the skeleton below would automatically collapse. And the green light hidden in its sockets would fly out from the eye sockets, swiftly escaping as before.
This scene made Ying Ze furrow his brows, his eyes full of doubt.
Yet, amidst the thousands of skeleton soldiers, he had no time to ponder further. He quickly composed himself and, together with Ji Yaohua, continued to rampage.
Since entering the ancient battlefield, Ying Ze felt particularly aggrieved.
When encountering death energy, all his cultivation was utterly useless. When facing lingering souls, his attacks were ineffective. Encountering those green-skinned monsters, the more he killed, the more appeared.
Now, finally encountering a kind of monster that could be killed! He slaughtered furiously, venting the resentment in his heart.
...
’They’ve arrived!’ Mu Qingge saw those green figures, her heart sinking.
The green-skinned monsters appeared again, and this time in considerable numbers. Xi Qianxue also noticed the approaching green mass, her expression changed, she exclaimed, "When did they circle around to our front?"
Upon hearing her words, Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered. She spoke in a deep voice, "Perhaps, it’s not the same group."
Xi Qianxue looked at her in shock.
’If it’s not the same group, then just how many of these green-skinned monsters exist in the ancient battlefield?’ Xi Qianxue could hardly imagine.
Even just one or two minor monsters had already left them battered, nearly losing their lives.
If there were countless green-skinned monsters, how would they manage?
"Should we leave?" Xi Qianxue asked Mu Qingge.
In her heart, since they couldn’t be killed, the best solution was to quickly leave before the enemy discovered them to avoid confrontation.
"No."
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge rejected her suggestion.
While Xi Qianxue was shocked, Mu Qingge turned her gaze towards her, her clear eyes holding an irresistible light, and said to her, "Find a place to hide and protect your head with Spiritual Power, I’ll stay."
Xi Qianxue’s expression changed drastically, "No way!"
Mu Qingge said to her, "I might have a way to deal with them, but I need to try it out. You hide first, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll leave immediately, I won’t linger."
Xi Qianxue’s eyes were filled with worry.
She really wanted to persuade Mu Qingge not to take the risk, but she also knew that Mu Qingge was right.
As long as they were still in the ancient battlefield, it was inevitable to encounter these strange green-skinned monsters, and if they kept running every time, even if they were lucky, the mere act of constant evasion would create a Heart Demon in their minds, greatly hindering their future cultivation.
"Be careful." Xi Qianxue finally swallowed her worries and instructed Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge nodded.
Xi Qianxue gritted her teeth, turned, and quickly left. The only thing she could do now was to find a safe place, hide herself well, stay undetected, protect herself, not cause trouble for Mu Qingge, or slow her down!
Xi Qianxue quickly found a hiding spot, choosing a location where a gap allowed her to see Mu Qingge.
She wrapped her head layer by layer in Spiritual Power to defend against the monsters’ Spiritual Attack, her eyes fixed on Mu Qingge’s figure, her hand tightly gripping her Divine Sword.
Mu Qingge’s right hand mimicked grasping something. As the gleam appeared, the Linglong Spear was in her hand. Those green monsters were gradually becoming clearer, but were still some distance away.
Mu Qingge fixed her eyes on them, took a deep breath, her fingers slightly moved, grasping the Linglong Spear tightly.
...
On a battlefield ruin, far away from Mu Qingge and her companions, Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze stood back to back, each holding a weapon, standing amidst a heap of broken white bones.
"I’ve killed so many my arms are numb," Ji Yaohua said, slightly panting.
Ying Ze pressed his lips, remaining silent, also breathing heavily.
The tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers had been slaughtered by them, turning into layers of bone shards beneath their feet. At this moment, they only wanted to rest a bit.
The Giant Power Bloodline Ying Ze inherited caused his hands, holding the long weapon, to tremble slightly.
Just as they relaxed, intending to recover, suddenly the ground began to shake.
"What’s happening!" The trembling ground made Ji Yaohua look down in shock.
The bone fragments beneath their feet were all slipping down to a lower place, making it difficult for them to stand firm.
Ji Yaohua grabbed Ying Ze’s wrist, his face changing dramatically, "Is there another monster?"
Before Ying Ze could speak, they saw a huge shadow slowly approaching from the distance, enveloping them.
They slowly looked up to see the owner of that enormous shadow.
Suddenly, they gasped.
Fixing their eyes on the colossal creature, Ying Ze said to Ji Yaohua, "Jinx!"
Ji Yaohua mouth turned bitter—he didn’t want this either, okay?
"What on earth is this monster’s skeleton?" Ji Yaohua swallowed, speaking softly.
What appeared before them was a colossal Beast Clan skeleton, enormous as a hill; it was also in a skeletal state, with limbs and a long, spiked tail. Its long neck and back were covered with diamond-shaped bone plates, making it appear terrifyingly grotesque. In its presence, Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze seemed as small as ants.
And in its skull’s eye sockets, green flames flickered. Unlike the previous skeleton soldiers, its eyebrows were marked with a blood-red seal, demonically dazzling, shining brightly, and exceedingly eerie.
It appeared in front of them with a thunderous roar, raising its forepaw and pounding towards them.
Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze’s eyes contracted suddenly, quickly jumping aside, exchanging a look filled with fighting spirit, each flying towards one of the beast’s eyes.
...
’Here they come!’ The green monsters appeared in front of Mu Qingge.
The green monster that ran at the forefront had already spotted her figure and quickly reported to the tall monster. This taller monster, like the group Mu Qingge encountered before, wore a cloth bag over its body.
These monsters looked almost identical, making it impossible for Mu Qingge to tell if they were the same group.
The little monster that discovered her received orders, grinned menacingly at Mu Qingge, and let out a sharp screech.
Mu Qingge’s eyes glowed with a layer of gold. In her vision, she saw an invisible Spiritual Attack shoot out from the little monster’s mouth, directly coming at her.
Her eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashed.
Mu Qingge swung the Linglong Spear, sweeping it across, the gold energy shot out from the spear tip, drawing an arc and colliding with the invisible Spiritual Attack, immediately neutralizing it.
’It works!’ This result made Mu Qingge’s eyes light up.
In the shadows, Xi Qianxue couldn’t see the invisible Spiritual Attack. She only witnessed Mu Qingge, majestic and imposing, releasing golden energy after the little monster screeched. The golden energy exploded in mid-air, turning into countless illusory golden dust, and the power of the Spiritual Attack vanished.
Red battle armor, silver long spear, ink-black hair fluttering, expression cold and sharp... In this moment, Xi Qianxue’s eyes contained nothing but the heroic figure of Mu Qingge standing on the ancient battlefield.
