A tall red-robed elder was dueling a giant skeleton over ten zhang tall. The giant skeleton wielded a bone saber shrouded in black qi, while the red-robed elder manipulated three red-flashing flying knives that struck the giant skeleton, emitting sounds akin to metal clashing against iron.
Waving a red feather fan in his hand, the red-robed elder unleashed a vast wave of crimson flames that swept forth, engulfing the giant skeleton's figure. However, shortly after, a piercing wail of a ghost rose, and an eye-stinging burst of black light flared, dispersing the fierce flames.
The giant skeleton opened its mouth to spit out a stream of black ghostly fire that landed on the protective spirit light around the red-robed elder, causing it instantly to dim, as the bone saber cleaved down towards him.
With a muffled sound, the protective spirit light shattered, but the elder reacted swiftly, conjuring a red shield in front of him.
