Free Web NovelChapter 750: Chapter 185: My Lord Is Unrivaled (Three Updates)
Somewhere in the ancient battlefield, Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze were running desperately, with the ground beneath their feet a dull gray, layered with bone fragments. The ground continuously trembled, each shake causing the bone fragments to jump and stir up clouds of bone dust.
Behind them, a gigantic beast was leisurely chasing after them, seemingly intent on toying with them, waiting until they could no longer run, gave up hope of escape, and then swallow them whole.
Ying Ze pressed his lips tightly together, his thick eyebrows knit slightly, his gaze extremely sharp.
Ji Yaohua’s face also showed an uncommon seriousness. While running, she kept glancing back at the skeletal beast.
Their previous attacks couldn’t harm the creature and almost resulted in their injury.
Ji Yaohua secretly resented it; this skeletal beast was much more difficult to deal with than those skeletal soldiers before. Its entire skeleton seemed impervious to swords and spears, even his fan could only leave an insignificant mark on its bones.
"This creature’s bones can’t even be split by a Holy Artifact. Could its defense really be higher than Holy Level?" Ji Yaohua complained to Ying Ze while running.
Ying Ze turned his gaze towards him, his eyes thoughtful.
Ji Yaohua initially thought Ying Ze would mock him again, but unexpectedly, after a moment’s silence, he spoke, "I suspect those skeletal soldiers were all controlled by this skeletal beast."
"What?" Ji Yaohua exclaimed in shock.
Ying Ze shared his theory, "I noticed earlier, each time we shattered a skull, the green light inside would fly out."
Ji Yaohua’s eyes narrowed sharply, immediately realizing, "You mean, those green lights were the means this monster used to control the skeletal soldiers? When the skeletal soldiers were destroyed by us, it would automatically fly back to the monster?"
Ying Ze nodded heavily.
Ji Yaohua’s face darkened, he gritted his teeth and said, "There’s no point discussing this now. Do you have a way to break its defense? Regardless of what its deal is, if we can crush its head, the problem would definitely be solved."
Ying Ze remained silent. If he had a way to break through the defense, why would they still be running?
No! Wait!
A glimmer of light flashed in Ying Ze’s eyes, and he suddenly stopped.
Ji Yaohua immediately shouted, "Why are you stopping?"
But Ying Ze was oblivious, turning to face the massive creature behind them. Ji Yaohua was forced to stop as well, pulling at him, "Hurry up, it’s catching up!"
Yet Ying Ze shook his head slowly, the fire of battle flickering in his eyes. He suddenly blurted, "Do you remember how Mu Qingge broke through Wei Molili’s defense?"
Huh?
Ji Yaohua was taken aback. Although he didn’t understand why Ying Ze suddenly brought this up, he quickly recalled the details from that day.
Mu Qingge abandoned the Linglong Spear, choosing instead to fight Wei Molili barehanded.
Just as this scene played out in his mind, he saw in the corner of his eye, a silhouette darting forward, and Ying Ze had already charged out.
Ji Yaohua could only curse ’damn!’ in his heart as he watched Ying Ze leap from the ground, spin midair, and land on the head of the skeletal giant.
The main point was that the rascal hadn’t brought a weapon!
Ji Yaohua’s eyes contracted at the sight, and at this moment, the giant beast, noticing someone on its head, began to rage. But Ying Ze remained unfazed, channeling Giant Power into his hands, mimicking Mu Qingge’s Phoenix Eye Fist, and fiercely smashed down on the giant beast’s head.
At this moment, Ji Yaohua understood Ying Ze’s intention.
He reacted quickly, shouting to the beast, "Hey! Beastie, I’m over here!"
Sure enough, his shout attracted the skeleton beast’s attention, and its long tail swung horizontally towards Ji Yaohua.
Ji Yaohua swiftly moved on his feet, disappearing from his spot in an instant and reappearing further away.
The beast was furious, missing its target, and launched another attack on Ji Yaohua.
Ji Yaohua, leveraging his speed advantage, tangled with the beast while Ying Ze relentlessly pummeled the skeleton giant’s skull.
The giant beast roared in anger, these two ants daring to challenge it so.
It shook its head, trying to shake Ying Ze off, while its claws came down towards Ji Yaohua, intending to crush him into mush.
...
The spiritual attack was unexpectedly thwarted, and the small monster’s grotesque face showed astonishment. It didn’t continue attacking Mu Qingge; instead, it turned its head to the tall monster, as if communicating with it.
Then, it turned back around, baring a sinister grin at Mu Qingge. Landing on all fours, it charged rapidly towards her.
Besides it, two more small monsters also charged alongside it, seemingly aiming for a three-on-one.
Mu Qingge’s gaze was cool and clear, her eyes coldly skimming over the tall monster hiding in the center, commanding the small monsters’ moves, her lips curling into a frosty smile.
Xi Qianxue, hidden in a dark corner, continuously reinforced her head’s defense with Spiritual Power, her eyes fixed intently on Mu Qingge, her heart tightening as she saw the three small monsters charging at her.
"Chirp—!"
"Chirp Chirp—!"
"Chirp—! Chirp—!"
The three small monsters simultaneously launched a spiritual attack at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge’s eyes sharpened, and her golden eyes emitted a beam of golden light that spread into a shield, crashing against the invisible attacks.
Boom!
The attack struck the golden shield, dissolving into nothingness.
This made the three small monsters bare their teeth in anger, launching continuous attacks.
However, the golden transparent shield securely protected Mu Qingge, repelling all the spiritual attacks outside.
This was her newfound defensive technique from the Divine Strategy Middle Volume. How could these monsters break through it?
Mu Qingge, grasping the Linglong Spear, pushed off from her feet, charging towards the small monsters.
The Golden Shield paved the way ahead, she followed close behind with her spear, her red war boots stomping on the petrified corpses of hundreds of thousands of years, making ’thump thump’ sounds. Her long hair was swept up by the wind, waving behind her, and the strands falling over her eyes occasionally brushed past her sharp gaze.
Xi Qianxue watched dazedly, her heartbeat thundering intensely with Mu Qingge’s every move.
The spiritual attack was completely ineffective, and the little monsters were also panicking.
The three little monsters extended their sharp claws and leapt towards Mu Qingge, wanting to tear her apart. However, they were effortlessly deflected by her with the Linglong Spear, sending the three little monsters flying away.
With the three little monsters no longer obstructing her path, Mu Qingge accelerated and charged into the group of monsters, her eyes fixed intently on the towering monster.
Meanwhile, the three little monsters that were flung aside agilely twisted their bodies in the air, changed direction, and quickly pursued Mu Qingge from behind.
Seemingly aware of her intentions, the large monster surrounded by the little monsters let out a sharp scream. This scream posed no harm to Mu Qingge but instead ordered the surrounding little monsters.
Sure enough, as his voice fell, the little monsters that were standing ready on the spot all revealed hideous expressions, baring their teeth as they charged at Mu Qingge.
Only less than a hundred little monsters were left tightly guarding him.
The remaining two to three hundred little monsters attacked Mu Qingge from all directions.
Xi Qianxue’s heart suddenly leaped, her grasp on the Divine Sword had already drawn the blade. However, she remembered Mu Qingge’s words, ’She said she had a way to deal with these monsters!’ Xi Qianxue forced herself to calm down. She didn’t know what method Mu Qingge referred to, but she was sure that if she went out now, she couldn’t save Mu Qingge and would only create chaos.
With hundreds of little monsters swarming over, Mu Qingge remained calm, her clear, sharp eyes staying composed.
In her hand, the Linglong Spear continuously swept aside the little monsters.
As the number of little monsters increased, she naturally wouldn’t pierce their skin and flesh with the Linglong Spear.
The little monsters were constantly knocked away by the Linglong Spear but would quickly regroup and surround Mu Qingge once they landed. Mu Qingge was blocked by hundreds of little monsters, unable to move an inch.
In the center, the towering monster, seeing Mu Qingge trapped, revealed a menacingly satisfied grin on its ugly face.
The little monsters could not harm Mu Qingge, so they simply surrounded her and launched a spiritual attack.
Suddenly, the unseen spiritual attacks were like ten thousand arrows directed at Mu Qingge.
The golden shield that had been following Mu Qingge quickly descended above her head, spreading outwards and instantly forming a dome that enveloped her within it.
With spiritual attacks falling like raindrops on the golden shield, they made a sound akin to sizzling oil.
Raising her eyes, Mu Qingge saw cracks already forming on the golden shield; it seemed the shield wouldn’t hold much longer.
Gripping the Linglong Spear, she fiercely thrust it into the ground, and the golden hue in her eyes grew more intense, her black hair billowed without wind, and her blood-red battle armor appeared strikingly fierce.
Just as the golden shield shattered into golden powder and the spiritual attacks aimed at her, she slowly raised her eyes, the golden glow in them carrying a cold intent.
"Ong——! Ma!"
A peculiar syllable, as if descending from ancient times, emanated from Mu Qingge’s mouth.
Instantly, a massive golden rune appeared before her, and under the influence of Mu Qingge’s voice, the little monsters’ spiritual attacks collapsed entirely, vanishing without a trace.
Xi Qianxue looked at Mu Qingge in shock, her red lips slightly parted.
The sound Mu Qingge made did not discomfort Xi Qianxue; instead, it felt like she was bathing in divine music, dispelling the unease caused by the earlier attacks.
’Is this the method she mentioned?!’ Xi Qianxue was utterly astounded. The more she looked at Mu Qingge, the less she seemed to understand her, as if nothing could trouble her, and her methods were endlessly revealing.
The syllable Mu Qingge uttered caused the little monsters surrounding her to stiffen, their movements slowing down.
A flash of cold sternness crossed Mu Qingge’s eyes as she spoke again, "Mu——!"
The strange syllable sounded once more but differed from the previous one.
Fear surfaced in Xi Qianxue’s eyes; after Mu Qingge emitted the second syllable, the supposedly unkillable little monsters began to break apart invisibly.
The hundreds of little monsters stiffened as if struck, shattered by an unseen force, and disappeared—
This scene was overwhelmingly shocking. Xi Qianxue could only see the little monsters being crushed to pieces from the corner of her eyes, completely forgetting to think.
’The Divine Strategy Middle Volume is indeed a good thing!’ A smile appeared on Mu Qingge’s lips, although her face paled, and the golden light in her eyes dimmed significantly.
The two syllables just now were two of the eight methods of spiritual sense attack outlined in the Divine Strategy Middle Volume.
Using spiritual sense for attacks greatly consumes spiritual sense. With Mu Qingge’s current ability, she could only make those two sounds. The remaining six attack methods require a higher level of spiritual sense.
However, for Mu Qingge, who had tasted the sweetness of it, even a glimpse of just two methods was enough to spark intense interest, motivating her to cultivate the Divine Strategy Middle Volume more seriously.
At this moment, Mu Qingge could no longer attack with spiritual sense, but her enemies did not know this.
She raised her eyes, the faint golden hue in them causing the same shock among the towering monster, revealing a look of fear. He uttered a command, instructing the remaining little monsters to continue attacking Mu Qingge, seemingly with a plan to escape.
"Trying to run!" Mu Qingge sneered coldly.
Before, she had been chased all over the battlefield, now was the time to collect the debt!
Besides, she had a theory in her heart that needed validation! Mu Qingge swung the Linglong Spear, and pure golden Spiritual Power burst forth with tremendous force, sweeping the little monsters charging at her into the air, forcibly opening a path to seize the towering monster.
Mu Qingge was quick; before the towering monster had a chance to escape, she appeared before him.
The giant monster’s height made Mu Qingge seem somewhat small in comparison.
However, Mu Qingge’s momentum continued to climb, and with one punch, she struck the monster’s stomach.
Caught off guard, the giant monster bent over in pain, instinctively lowering his head. At this moment, Mu Qingge leapt agilely, her entire body lifting into the air, gripping the Linglong Spear, stabbing directly into the lowered head of the giant monster.
Meanwhile, the remaining little monsters desperately clawed at Mu Qingge’s back.
The little monsters’ furious attacks were ignored by Mu Qingge; her eyes were solely focused on the giant monster.
However, as Mu Qingge’s Linglong Spear easily pierced the giant monster’s head, the little monsters’ bodies abruptly froze, suspending mid-air, maintaining their attacking posture.
The giant monster’s eyes bulged, seemingly unable to believe he had been killed just like that.
The little monsters also appeared extremely frightened. After the giant monster was slain, they unexpectedly transformed into streams of green liquid, falling from the air and dripping onto the battlefield.
The giant monster’s corpse fell heavily to the ground, with Mu Qingge’s Linglong Spear still lodged in his head. His body eerily shriveled rapidly, the greenery of his skin turning ashen gray, ultimately reduced to a pile of dust.
The bag he carried silently dropped beside him.
’So it was true!’ Mu Qingge murmured in her heart, gazing at the ashen powder.
