The performance of the three skeletons had surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation, all lay sideways in the marshland, surrounded by many scattered bones. Xiao Chen was momentarily stunned. These three were far more intelligent than he had anticipated, and he could even sense a hint of cunningness from them.
Outside the marshland, Zhao Lin'er, with her skin as white as snow and her graceful figure, was incredibly beautiful. She had the physique of a jade-like beauty that could topple cities and kingdoms with her allure. In this vast jungle, she appeared to transcend the secular world.
The brown-haired man, Gu Luo, silently waved his hand. The dozens of people behind him quickly scattered and stealthily advanced towards the marshland, with him and Zhao Lin'er following behind.
The eerie marshland filled infiltrators with terror. A chilling atmosphere permeated the forest, indicating that this place was far from benevolent!
The white bones were everywhere, truly a land of the dead!
Thirty experts had spread deep into the marshland. A cold smile hung on Gu Luo's lips. Various signs indicated that Xiao Chen was in the marsh, and his time to annihilate him was now.
The setting sun was blood red. An ominous premonition suddenly came to Gu Luo's mind. He sensed danger but couldn't pinpoint its origin.
Suddenly, a flash of white light erupted!
A skeleton beneath his feet leapt up, its grim claw reaching straight for his chest!
The turn of events was utterly unexpected!
The enemy, devoid of any life fluctuations, lay just under his foot. It was near impossible to guard against!
Gu Luo swung his fists in a hurry, barely blocking the pair of bony claws. He intended to move his feet to defend, but was shocked to find his legs tightly clamped down by a skeleton!
In his flurry to counter the skeleton in front of him, a severe pain surged from his back. A white bone claw had deeply embedded itself into him!
There was another skeleton at the back!
"Ah..."
From the moment when King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation suddenly launched the attack, to Gu Luo's heart-wrenching scream, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
The stunning Royal Heavenly Girl Zhao Lin'er blanched at the sight. She had never seen a skeleton kill before. But she was not an ordinary person. With longsword in hand, she swiftly rushed forward.
"Undying creatures!"
"These are undying creatures that have achieved immortality in an alternative way!"
The crowd shouted from a distance.
"Quickly protect Sir!"
...
Chaos ensued in the marshland. All the scattered experts rushed hurriedly towards this place.
King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation were aware of the approaching danger. They fled without delay but before leaving, they impaled Gu Luo one more time. Four bloody holes were present in his chest and abdomen. His blood flowed continuously outwards, and the pungent smell of iron-filled the air.
Zhao Lin'er steadied Gu Luo as he was about to collapse into a pool of blood. Seven or eight experts instantly surrounded them, while others roared in fury, charging towards the three skeletons.
Hidden atop a massive tree, Xiao Chen watched in astonishment!
In his perception, the brunette man was a terrifying adversary! However, the three skeletons sprung an unexpected pleasant surprise! The three kings ambushed him craftily and knocked him down cleanly and swiftly. This was indeed a great achievement beyond his imagination!
Without any hesitation, Xiao Chen rushed down the giant tree and stomped hard on the ground. With several "snap snap" sounds, he rushed past the two men here, their chests caved in profoundly, bleeding from the mouth, their bodies fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen moved swiftly amongst the panicked crowd, leaving several afterimages in the swamp and started a ruthless slaughter!
The three skeletons also displayed formidable combat power at this moment! King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation were incredibly fast, and like three beams of white light, they darted through the crowd. Already three or four people had their chests pierced by them - their white-bone claws were lethal on impact!
After experiencing chaos, this group of people quickly and effectively organized a counterattack.
"Holy Light of Brightness, burn away all evil!"
A brunette cultivator chanted rapidly, then shook out a scroll, throwing it towards Xiao Chen and the three skeletons. An endless sea of fire erupted in the air, turning half the sky a blazing red. Like a meteor shower, it began to envelop Xiao Chen and the three skeletons.
Xiao Chen swiftly sidestepped, just narrowly avoiding the terrifying flames. The tree beside him was instantly turned to ashes by the fire!
Terrifying sacred fire! It seemed like it could indeed burn everything down to nothingness.
The three skeletons hurriedly dodged, their speed limited by their aversion to the flames. They left trails of white light in the swamp, but they were still briefly covered by the flames.
Xiao Chen felt a sinking sensation in his heart!
However, the performance of the three kings again surprised him. Although their bones were slightly blackened, they weren't destroyed by the sacred fire! They were intact and charged out. Upon closer inspection, one could see a faint glow receding back into their skulls protecting them with a pure energy.
Xiao Chen quickly regrouped with the three skeletons, confronting Zhao Lin'er's side. Just now, they seized the opportunity to kill eight of their opponents in one go, scoring a significant victory.
A brief calm ensued, with neither side initiating an attack.
The Royal Celestial Maiden, unrivalled in beauty and grace, was now emitting endless murderous intent. Suffering heavy losses due to a surprise attack despite having the upper hand, she was filled with frustration. The appearance of the three undead creatures was unexpected, catching her off guard, and making her hesitant to act recklessly.
Xiao Chen and the three skeletons also remained motionless. The other side had greater numbers, and the scroll they controlled made them somewhat wary.
At this moment, a moan of pain broke the brief silence.
Gu Luo, who had four bloody holes pierced in his chest and abdomen, miraculously woke up. However, with his terrifying wound closed again, the blood started to seep out again, making those attendants indulge in bandaging him once more.
Gu Luo stopped them. He leaned against an attendant, took out a scroll from his robe, and muttered with difficulty, "Light of Life, eternally shine on me!"
The scroll instantly unfurled into a painting, and an incredibly dazzling light burst forth. The breath of life flooded out in an instant, a boundless holy radiance enveloped Gu Luo.
Everyone on Gu Luo's side cheered; they were all incredibly excited because they knew that Gu Luo's life was now out of danger.
As they were celebrating, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons suddenly launched an attack. The moment the strong life fluctuations appeared, Xiao Chen guessed that Gu Luo was healing himself and decided they couldn't give their opponents any chance!
King Qin Guang, King Yan Luo, King Reincarnation were truly powerful. Together, the three skeletons managed to briefly entangle Zhao Lin'er, creating an excellent opportunity for Xiao Chen. He entered the crowd enveloped in a hazy radiance, aiming to kill the recovering Gu Luo with all his might.
The nearby combat experts bravely shielded Gu Luo, blocking Xiao Chen's surprise attack; the brief combat was brutal and ruthless!
Xiao Chen's hands gleamed with divine light, shattering seven or eight longswords. He even slashed out several light blades, cutting open the bellies of a few people. Blood splattered everywhere! In this process, a strange thing occurred. Underneath the extravagant Light of Life, all the heavy injuries inflicted by Xiao Chen were healing rapidly. Everyone injured seemed to be out of immediate mortal danger.
Meanwhile, under the same cover of holy radiance, Xiao Chen's body was also healing rapidly at that moment!
