"Kill!"
After receiving Fang Yang's instruction, the skeleton soldiers couldn't speak in response. But the green flames in their eyes burned furiously like raging bonfires!
The bone sabres in the hands of the skeletons slashed down in complete unison, creating a terrifying storm, and what happened next could only be described as carnage.
A bloody blender of flesh and bone had started as chunks of rat flesh and blood were scattered across the mineshaft walls.
The stun created by the Battle Saint's war cry was only temporary and with the bloody slaughter happening all around them, the remaining gold-eating rats all shot back into life!
Suddenly, a large blur dashed across the battlefield and from its direction one could see it was heading straight for the mid-stage demon beasts!
Before the stun effect of the war cry completely wore off, Fang Yang knew that he had to do some damage to at least one of the beasts.
The giant figure of the Battle Saint appeared in front of the trio of mid-stage demon beasts, and before they could even react, it attacked.
The corpse puppet's giant fists blasted out like a pair of cannons, heading for the unfortunate gold-eating rat that was unlucky enough to be nearest to him.
Still, the attack made by the Corpse puppet still came a little while after it had used a war cry, so it barely allowed enough time for the gold-eating rat to raise a claw to block.
"Boom!"
Although the gold-eating rat was able to block one of The Corpse puppet's fists and avoid a fatal blow, it was unable to block the other and could only twist its body in a desperate attempt to reduce the effects of the impact.
But no matter how much the gold-eating rat tried, the corpse puppet's fierce attack sent a shockwave throughout its body, sending it smashing into a nearby wall
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The two mid stage gold-eating rats at the side had only now broken free from the stun effect and realised what had happened.
They instantly shot towards the corpse puppet, attacking it from both directions.
A fierce battle quickly broke out between the 3 of them with the furious fists of the corpse puppet smashing into the ground like miniature explosions and the gold-eating rats dodging in what could only be described as a golden blur.
The Battle Saint Corpse puppet was definitely stronger than the gold-eating rats, but what they lacked in strength they made up for in agility. But the defence of the Battle Saint Corpse puppet was no joke either.
The strength of its skin easily surpassed levels of leather armour and could even put refined steel to shame. With such a strong defence, the corpse puppet could easily brush off the attacks that the gold eating rats made.
The pair of gold-eating rats could only use their superior speed to faintly restrain the corpse puppet, but with time, the battle was actually showing signs of tilting towards the side of Fang Yang and his forces.
The suppression of the gold-eating rats did not last for too long, however, as a loud shriek sounded in the mineshaft.
"Squeak!"
The mid-stage gold-eating rat that the corpse puppet had blasted away earlier had now recovered and joined back in the fight.
It wasn't completely unscathed after the corpse puppet's attack. It was unable to display the same levels of agility as its two other compatriots, but it was still enough to turn the tide.
But when faced with the addition of another enemy, the Battle Saint Corpse puppet didn't back down and only became more ferocious!
Its fists and legs created havoc, smashing miniature craters around it with ease.
With the conflict between these powerhouses, heating and becoming more and more brutal, no one else dared to interfere.
Now that the mid-stage level battle was at a stalemate, Fang Yang turned back to the fight on the lower end.
The fight between the skeletons and the early stage gold-eating rats was going much better.
The defensive formation of the 6 skeletons completely blocked off the pathway, making it almost impossible for the rats to get past. And for the few rats that did slip past, all they would be able to see was the flashing silver light of Fang Yang's knives before their lives came to an abrupt end.
Even if the gold-eating rats managed to show much higher agility levels than the skeleton soldiers, because skeletons were maintaining a defensive posture that always brought the fight to them, they were able to fight back, taking no casualties at all.
The rats were completely helpless in front of the Fang Yang's skeleton formation and could only end up becoming souls under their bone sabres.
Fang Yang watched in excitement as the green souls of the rats rushed towards his body.
"Ding! Congratulations on levelling up!"
"Ding! Congratulations on levelling up!"
The two successive notifications of levelling up nearly sent Fang Yang to the moon.
This was it! The kingly way!
Forget about fighting on the front lines and rolling around in blood and guts.
Just stay back and watch your enemies be swarmed to death by your undead servants.
That is the true kingly way!
But just as Fang Yang was laughing to himself about his profits. He suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
Cultivators are extremely sensitive, so while a cultivator in the qi refinement stage hadn't completely unlocked the functions of their divine sense. Their innate senses and instincts have been heightened past the levels of regular humans and right now, Fang Yang's senses were telling him that he was in extreme danger!
Before Fang Yang could even react, he only saw a blurry golden image as one of the three mid stage gold-eating rats broke away from the fight with the Battle Saint Corpse puppet and dashed in his direction!
Fang Yang quickly instructed his corpse puppet to block it, but the two remaining gold-eating rats seemed to go berserk, blocking the Corpse Puppet with all they had.
