Ch 30: Red Powder Skeleton
“This is a Death Knight.”
Fang Yan’s voice carried a hint of solemnity as she stared intently at the knight riding the Skeleton War Horse in front of them, offering a reminder.
“Bronze Eighth Rank? If I can’t beat the s*it out of you, I’ll consider you clean!”
Chu Qiu nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing with excitement as he pondered how to snatch that Skeleton War Horse and become a dashing Black Steed Prince.
The Death Knight sensed his provocation, slowly raised the Knight’s Sword in his hand, the blade shimmering with a cold light, and then transformed into a black shadow, charging towards Chu Qiu.
Diting sensed the threat from the Death Knight and leaped forward, transforming into a black storm.
The storm carried scorching flames, sweeping towards the Death Knight, even the air was burned and distorted.
Faced with the surging Flame Storm, the Death Knight coldly snorted and swung the Knight’s Sword in his hand.
A black sword energy instantly cut through the sky, like a black dragon emerging from the sea, splitting the Flame Storm in two.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the flames extinguished, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
Just as the black sword light was about to dissipate, Diting suddenly rushed out of the wreckage of the Flame Storm, and clawed fiercely at the Death Knight’s chest.
Netherworld Flames burned fiercely on the claws, with a sharp sound of tearing through the air, as if even space was torn apart.
“Nether Claw Strike!”
Diting roared in a low voice, the claw tips were already at the Death Knight’s chest. Although the Death Knight reacted quickly, he was still a step too slow.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound came, and the armor on his chest was actually torn apart by Diting’s claw, revealing the black-glowing sternum inside, and the faint aura of death.
Seeing this, Chu Qiu immediately seized the opportunity and silently chanted a spell: “Soul Summoning!”
Ghosts with hideous faces and continuous wails, from the dark all directions, with a cold aura, instantly submerged the Death Knight in it.
The Death Knight waved the Knight’s Sword in his hand, constantly beheading the surrounding ghosts, and each time a ghost disappeared, it would trigger a small explosion.
Although the power was not great, the continuous damage caused his armor to gradually be covered with cracks, and his face became even paler.
The Death Knight couldn’t bear it, and suddenly took a deep breath, and the surrounding air was immediately sucked into his stomach.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes turned blood red, and a powerful force of the undead surged out, instantly shaking all the surrounding ghosts away, dissipating into nothingness.
“Flame Storm!”
Seeing this, Diting suddenly roared to the sky, the flames all over his body instantly became more intense, turning into a raging Flame Storm, and once again swept towards the Death Knight. This time, the Flame Storm was more violent and hotter than before, and the surrounding air crackled from being scorched.
The Death Knight’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved the Knight’s Sword in his hand, trying to resist this terrifying wave of flames.
However, Diting’s power was too great, and the Knight’s Sword in his hand was actually shaken off by the impact of the Flame Storm.
“Ah!”
The Death Knight suddenly lost all support, let out a shrill scream, and the armor gradually melted under the scorching of the flames, revealing the bones inside.
The body twisted and struggled in the flames, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in the air.
The core area of the underground palace is a vast and deep open space.
On the surrounding cave walls, hideous skeleton patterns appeared and disappeared in the dim light, and the air was filled with a depressing and strange atmosphere.
In the center of the open space, a throne carefully piled up with countless bones stood proudly, every inch revealed a sense of horror and majesty, and the height was enough for the person sitting on it to overlook the entire palace.
On the throne, a Skeleton King wearing a white cloak and exuding an aura of death sat on it.
Its figure was slender, and it held a slender bone sword tightly in its hand, the blade shimmering faintly.
“The one delivering fried dough sticks has already entered, and the one delivering eggs is still knocking on the door outside!”
Chu Qiu looked at the bone seam and speculated wildly about what the Skeleton King looked like before his death. It seemed that it should be a tightly built girl.
The Skeleton King slowly raised his head, the blue death fire burning in his eye sockets, and let out a deafening roar, his voice full of coldness.
Immediately afterwards, he took a big step, like a white lightning cutting through the night sky, and rushed towards Chu Qiu.
“Damn! Even if someone has spat in it, this Monk will go deep to beg for alms, and I will taste you today!”
Faced with the sudden offensive, Chu Qiu quickly summoned ghosts to build a line of defense for himself.
At the same time, Diting also rushed towards the Skeleton King, its claws drawing afterimages in the air, with a sharp wind, and instantly hit the Skeleton King’s body.
“Bang!”
With a loud noise, the Skeleton King was knocked back a few steps by Diting’s blow, but surprisingly, its body was not substantially damaged.
“Ya hoo!”
A powerful energy wave came from the Skeleton King’s mouth and swept towards Diting.
Diting instantly burst out with amazing speed, and its figure drew a beautiful arc in the air, dodging its attack.
It rushed towards the Skeleton King again, and the raging flames instantly swept over the Skeleton King’s entire body.
The flames burned wantonly on the Skeleton King’s bones, burning its bones black and emitting a pungent odor.
The cracks left by Diting’s attack continued to expand under the scorching of the flames, and finally shattered.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the Skeleton King’s body collapsed in the flames, turning into a sky full of broken bones and ashes.
“Hey, give me a reason why you didn’t get to the top by using your body!”
Chu Qiu looked at the Skeleton King who was so easily rubbed on the ground, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Before he finished speaking, an accident happened.
“The pink girl drank the red powder wine of the pink girl, and the pink girl drank the wine pink of the red powder girl…”
A low murmur of incantation echoed in the air, and then, a mysterious force drove those broken bones, and they actually began to slowly condense in the ashes, reassembling.
Its body gradually became taller under the wrapping of the ashes, and a strange ghostly green light flashed between the bones.
“This is… a resurrection skill?”
Fang Yan’s beautiful face paled, and she never expected that the Skeleton King would have such a powerful special skill.
The Skeleton King waved the Bone Sword again and launched an attack on Chu Qiu.
The Bone Sword drew afterimages in the air, with a whistling sound, and attacked Chu Qiu.
Chu Qiu flashed his figure, and with the help of Diting’s vision perception, he predicted the Skeleton King’s attack trajectory and narrowly dodged this fatal blow.
“Soul Summoning!”
Chu Qiu once again used the Great Summoning Technique, and a cloud of ghosts poured in from all directions, hovering and roaring in the air, pressing towards the Skeleton King.
Diting also took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from the side, its claws flashing across the Skeleton King’s bones like lightning, leaving several deep scars.
The Skeleton King let out an even more deafening roar, and the Bone Sword waved even more violently in the air, constantly repelling the ghosts that approached it.
As time went by, its physical strength began to gradually run out.
The movements became slower and slower, the scars on his body became more and more, and the ghostly green light flashing between the bones also began to dim.
Finally, under Diting’s fierce attack, the Skeleton King’s body could no longer hold on, and it collapsed with a bang, once again turning into a sky full of broken bones and ashes.
This time, it did not resurrect again, and its body disappeared without a trace in the ashes, and the Skeleton King Throne also collapsed with it.
“Waste, I gave you a chance, but you are useless!”
Chu Qiu looked at the countdown on the interface, which was frozen at 5 hours and 37 minutes, and then an unprecedented powerful force surged in his body, successfully promoting him to the Seventh Level.
“Ooh!”
At the same time, Diting also made a cheerful cry, and its rank also jumped to the Sixth Level, and its aura became even more powerful.
