Chapter 846: Black skeleton

A skeleton that was around 1.8 meters (5.10ft) tall had appeared in front of Li Tian seemingly out of thin air, as he blocked his path towards Liu Mei.

At that moment, Xingyi and the others also noticed, that this skeleton wasn’t the same as the rest of the skeletons in Liu Mei’s army.

Unlike the normal jade-white skeletons whose eye sockets were burning with green wisps of ember and were normally holding their thin-looking but sharp bone swords, this skeleton in front of Liu Mei was pitch-black in appearance and his eye sockets were burning with purple flames instead!

Additionally, instead of the usual sword made of bones, this black skeleton was holding a peculiar-looking, massive dark-red sword that was emitting an extremely dense aura of death!

Without any hesitation, the black skeleton swung the dark-red sword in his hands sideways, meeting Li Tian’s daggers head-on!

At that moment, the scene that followed didn’t just stun the young man named ‘junior brother Xian’ and the young woman who was standing by his side who were waiting for Li Tian to kill Liu Mei, but even Li Tian himself who looked like he couldn’t believe his own eyes.

The moment that the black skeleton’s dark-red sword clashed with his daggers, both Li Tian and the black skeleton were actually pushed backwards by more than 3 steps until they regained their balance.

And yet, even after he regained his balance Li Tian didn’t make another move, as he stared at the black skeleton in front of him with a look of disbelief before he mumbled to himself in an incredulous voice

”How is this possible? This monster… it can actually rival a late-stage Dao King like me?”

”Senior brother, let me help you!” The young man called ‘junior brother Xian’ shouted from the distance when he witnessed the scene in front of him, before his figure shot towards Li Tian at full speed.

Originally, both he and the young woman who was standing next to him, had both expected that Li Tian would be able to effortlessly slaughter Liu Mei in just a few attacks, while the 2 of them would kill Shun Long and the other 3 by his side.

But from the looks of things, despite her lower cultivation base, it seemed that Liu Mei’s strength actually wasn’t inferior to Li Tian’s in the slightest.

Unlike his junior brother and his junior sister who didn’t seem to have realized what was going on, Li Tian actually understood exactly how dangerous the black skeleton in front of him really was.

Just now, Li Tian had truly gone all-out with this attack of his, activating even the Dao of Wind within his 1-star daggers as he aimed to take Liu Mei’s life in a single strike.

With his cultivation at the early rank 7 of the Dao King realm and his 2 daggers, even a normal middle rank 7 Dao King wouldn’t be able to escape if they didn’t have a star-rank weapon as well.

And yet, this black skeleton in front of him whose aura seemed to be similar to Liu Mei’s, at the peak of rank 6 in the Dao King realm, was able to block his attack head-on!

”Senior brother Li, let’s take down that skeleton together! I am sure that it won’t be able to last for too long under our combined atta-” ‘Junior brother Xian’ was about to speak, but his words seemed to have been suddenly stuck in his throat as his eyes widened in terror in the next moment.

In fact, it wasn’t just him, as even Li Tian who was standing beside him could feel his entire body that had started to shiver, as he stared at the scene that was unfolding in front of his eyes.

From the black hole on the ground, a massive, hideous monster that was more than 30 meters tall slowly emerged, followed by a hundred undead knights each of whom was emitting an aura similar to that of a peak rank 6 Dao King!

Staring at the Death Eater and sensing the aura of malice and bloodlust that it was emitting, even Li Tian could no longer keep himself calm as he involuntarily took a few steps back.

At that moment however, Liu Mei took a single step forward as she stood on the Death Eater’s back, and with a frosty look on her face she said coldly

”You want to leave? It’s too late!”

Before Li Tian and his ‘junior brother Xian’ could retreat, Liu Mei’s aura exploded outwards, before the black skeleton, the Death Eater, and the 100 undead knights all attacked them at once.

Unlike Li Tian who was an early rank 7 Dao King, ‘junior brother Xian’ was just a peak rank 5 Dao King and could at most fight a single of these undead knight head-on.

But under the onslaught of 100 undead knights, his body was soon riddled with tens of wounds before it was dismembered by the undead knights’ massive greatswords, leaving behind nothing else but an unrecognizable corpse.

”NO!” The young woman who was watching this scene from the distance shouted in horror, before a look of despair began to color her face.

Gritting her teeth, the young woman abruptly turned around and tried to flee, no longer intending to stay in this place any longer.

She could see that even Li Tian was having trouble and was unable to escape no matter how hard he tried, while his body seemed to be accumulating wounds at a terrifying rate.

Just the black skeleton itself was enough to match him in both strength and speed, posing a serious threat all by itself, but when its strength was combined with the Death Eater’s and the 100 undead knights, even Li Tian had no chance and could at most defend in a desperate manner.

The young woman understood that no matter what, once those monsters were done with Li Tian, they would definitely go after her.

With her cultivation of an early rank 5 Dao King, forget about the Death Eater, even a single undead knight would be enough to effortlessly take her life!

However, before the young woman could escape too far, her body suddenly trembled mid-air, before a look of horror appeared inside her eyes.

From the ground below her, more than a dozen of shadow tentacles seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, completely restricting her movements and holding her into place. Although the young woman struggled to break free, it didn’t matter how many shadow tentacles she destroyed, as even more spouted from the ground below her, firmly locking her into place.

At this moment, the young woman was determined to go all-out and use her strongest martial skills to escape from the tentacle’s entanglement as quickly as possible, but before she could gather all of her qi, she suddenly noticed the figure of an extremely beautiful blond-haired woman appearing behind her.

Before the young woman could react, Xingyi suddenly thrust the silver dagger in her left hand forward, piercing straight through the young woman’s heart.

A moment later, the shadow tentacles all disappeared, before the young woman’s lifeless corpse collapsed on the ground with a thud.

Meanwhile, Li Tian’s figure seemed to be growing slower and slower with every passing second, as his body was now covered in countless sword wounds.

”You bastards! Fuck off! I won’t die here! ‘Soul tornado’!” Li Tian roared out loudly before he gathered all of his qi in his 2 daggers and swung them horizontally, as he used his strongest martial skill.

A huge, black tornado slowly began to form itself around Li Tian, finally pushing the undead knights that were barraging him with attacks backwards.

This was Li Tian’s strongest martial skill, a Saint middle-grade martial skill that attacked his enemies’ bodies and souls at the same time.

Unfortunately for Li Tian, the last thing that Liu Mei’s undead creatures were afraid of was precisely spiritual attacks like this.

Although the undead knights were slightly pushed back by the power of Li Tian’s ‘Soul tornado’, the black skeleton and the Death Eater seemed barely affected by it, as the 2 undead creatures continued their unrelenting attacks on the middle-aged man in front of them.

A few moments later, the black skeleton and the Death Eater finally stopped, as only the figure of an unrecognizable corpse along with a jade-green spatial ring remained in front of them.
