Chapter 118: Successful Kill

“Roar!”

Lin Zhibai’s Earth Demon Bear let out a roar. Then, it stomped the ground and absorbed the earth’s power before quickly covering itself in a layer of earth armor.

The next moment, it faced off with the Dried Skeleton General charging towards it with a spear in its hands. The demon bar did not try to dodge and quickly charged forward.

Bam!

In an instant, the Dried Skeleton General, riding on the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory, was in front of the Earth Demon Bear.

It swung its spear towards the Earth Demon Bear’s neck.

The Dried Skeleton General was around two meters and five or six inches. It was a rather noticeable difference when compared to the Earth Demon Bear.

However, the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory it was riding was three meters tall. So, the size of the Dried Skeleton General riding on the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory was actually quite similar to the Earth Demon Bear, and its size disadvantage was essentially nullified.

However, seeing the Dried Skeleton General’s spear swing, the Earth Demon Bear violence was put on full display.

A loud bang rang in the air as two giant bear claws moved up in a blocking motion. The Earth Demon Bear wanted to slam away the Dried Skeleton General’s spear and then charge towards Purgatory’s Three-headed Horse.

However, the Dried Skeleton General’s spear technique was excellent. Faced with the Earth Demon Bear’s block, the skeleton general twisted its wrist, and the bony white spear in its hand went from a swing to a thrust.

Three consecutive strikes thrust at the same location of the Earth Demon Bear’s chest in the blink of an eye.

The thrusts instantly pierced through the Earth Armor of the Earth Demon Bear. Fresh blood spilled out of the bear’s chest area struck by the spear.

At that moment, the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory turned around and dodged the Earth Demon Bear’s charge.

“Roar!”

The Earth Demon Bear’s eyes turned completely red after it saw itself injured. It roared and charged straight toward the Dried Skeleton General. It did not bother with the injuries that it had sustained. i

Inside the empty eye sockets of the Dried Skeleton General, white soul flame burned fiercely, and as it prepared to get another thrust in, the Earth Demon Bear that looked like it had gone berserk slammed its feet into the ground and cast the Earth Spiritual Technique. Then, in front of the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory, the ground suddenly rose into the air as an earth wall was created.

Bang!

In that instant, the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory could not react in time and lost its footing. Then, it staggered and fell on the ground.

At the same time, throwing the Dried Skeleton General riding on its back on the ground.

Whoosh!

Just before the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory lost its footing, the soul fire in the Dried Skeleton General’s eyes burned fiercely and very quickly. It leaped into the air as it kicked itself off the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory’s back using its toe.

After that, it flipped in a back somersault in the air while thrusting the bone spear in its hand at the Earth Demon Bear behind it.

The Dried Skeleton General looked like a general on a real battlefield.

All its techniques and skills were excellent.

Whoosh!

However, at that moment, the Black Water Demon Snake that came out along with the Earth Demon Bear also made its move.

It raised its giant snakehead, and spiritual energy quickly gathered in the space in front of it, creating a string of black water.

The string of water was skinny.

However, it was highly resilient.

The string of black water charged forward like a musical instrument’s strings and bound the Dried Skeleton General’s bone spear.

It pulled and caused the spear to steer from its path, hitting nothing but air beside the Earth Demon Bear.

“Roar!”

Right after the Dried Skeleton General’s spear thrust missed, the Earth Demon Bear’s eyes lit up. Then, it took a step forward, and with a powerful roar, it slammed its body into the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory that had lost its footing and had fallen on the ground as if it was a human martial artist.

Crack, crack, crack!

In an instant, many of the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory’s bones were broken.

Like the Dried Skeleton General, it was made up of bones, and it did not have any flesh.

“Neigh!”

As the Earth Demon Bear slammed the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory, the soul flames in its eyes flickered. It turned its head around and let out an eerie neigh at the Earth Demon Bear.

Making the Earth Demon Bear’s body stiff for a moment.

Puff!

Then, in the next moment, as the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory’s body was sent flying by the body slam, a ball of black and red flame flew out from the horse’s bony mouth and towards the Earth Demon Bear.

While the Earth Demon Bear’s slam had largely shattered the bone in its body, the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory did not pay any heed to its injuries and directly cast two ultimate skills, which caused the Earth Demon Bear to fall on the ground. It could no longer get up.

On the other side, the Dried Skeleton General seized an opportunity to turn its body around.

Then, both its arms started to shake, and it managed to break the black water string bounding its bone spear.

Then, it charged towards the Earth Demon Bear again.

In the blink of an eye, the tide of the battle turned again.

Whoosh!

However, at that moment, the Black Water Demon Snake that followed the Earth Demon Bear over and had only taken action only once since the beginning suddenly moved.

Then, a batch of black water vapor gathered at some unknown time transformed into a clone of itself. However, the clone was two times the size of the Black Water Demon Snake.

The giant clone Black Water Demon Snake could even fly in the air under the original snake’s control.

Whoosh!

Seeing the Dried Skeleton General’s body descending, the spear in its hands about to thrust into the Earth Demon Bear’s temple, the Black Water Demon Snake cast the Black Water Snake Formation. The giant demon snake clone created by the Black Water Demon Snake charged forward. It did not only disperse the ball of flame from the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory but also slammed violently into the Dried Skeleton General’s body hanging in midair.

…sending the Dried Skeleton General’s body flying.

Crack, crack!

After the Dried Skeleton General’s body was sent flying, cracks appeared on two of its bones.

It landed on the ground and lowered its head to look at its injuries. Then, it looked at the Earth Demon Bear and Black Water Demon Snake staring at it fiercely from afar. The soul flame in its eyes flickered uncontrollably.

It seemed not to know if it should continue charging forward.

Lin Zhibai’s Earth Demon Bear and Zhu Wen’s Black Water Demon Snake were Dark Iron Peak beasts.

However, they were one-star higher in terms of grade.

At that moment, while the two’s cultivation level was a level lower than itself, the two cooperating made it feel powerless.

Crack, crack!

Simultaneously, the three Divine Wood Guards summoned by Lil Wan had also worked together to turn the Dried Skeleton Soldiers brought from the valley by the Dried Skeleton General into piles of bones.

The Dried Skeleton General also had an ability called the General’s Aura. The ability could make the Dried Skeleton Soldiers under its command stronger than normal.

However, faced against the Divine Wood Guards that were at a higher level and grade, all they were good for was to keep them occupied for some time.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Just as the Dried Skeleton General was hesitating, dark nether energy rumbled within the valley in the distance. A giant tree of over a dozen meters tall pulled its root from the ground and charged out of the valley at high speed.

“Wu, wu, wu…”

Simultaneously, multiple Dried Skeleton Soldiers, Dried Skeleton Generals, Urn Demons, and other nether-type monsters also charged out of the valley behind the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon.

Of course, most of the Dried Skeleton Generals charging forward behind it were at the Dark Iron Peak level.

Their levels were not as high as the Dried Skeleton General that rode the Three-headed Horse of Purgatory earlier.

Upon seeing the scene before him, inside the illusion created by the Phantom Fox, Lin Zhibai could not help but ask, “Ye Xuan, this bastard is too cautious. What should we do? Should we go out now and kill the Dried Skeleton General first?”

In the current situation, if the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon, along with its lackeys, arrived there and they had not yet killed the Dried Skeleton General, their plan would have been all for nothing.

As for the crippled Three-headed Horse of Purgatory on the ground and the other Dried Skeleton Soldiers that the Divine Wood Guards had killed, they were not considerable gains to the group.

“No need!”

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “Just wait a little bit more!”

Just as he spoke, he moved his mind and rested his gaze on an illusory girl around 20 meters in front of the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon, analyzing and confirming its attributes.

[Baleful Banshee: Two stars

Level: Low-level Bronze

Abilities: Baleful Wail, Create Illusion, Banshee’s Claw]

At that time, the Baleful Banshee led a group of Urn Demons towards the Earth Demon Bear and Black Water Demon Snake at high speed.

Moreover, its speed was clearly faster than the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon.

In the blink of an eye, its distance from the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon had widened… 30 meters, 40 meters…

Upon observing this, Ye Xuan briefly calculated the distance and pointed at the Baleful Banshee. At the same time, he said to Lin Zhibai, “Zhibai, use your White Flame Bronze Bird to kill that Baleful Banshee!”

“Kill the Baleful Banshee?”

Lin Zhibai was stunned.

He was a little hesitant.

The reason was that even if he sent his White Flame Bronze Bird, with the distance between the Baleful Banshee and the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon, it would be tough to kill the Baleful Banshee right in front of the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon.

After all, the Baleful Banshee was also a low-level Bronze monster.

Simultaneously, as it was a tense moment, he did not notice that when Ye Xuan called out to him, he only called out his first name, “Zhibai,” which was actually exactly how Lin Shiru addressed him.

“Quickly!”

Ye Xuan frowned slightly when he saw Lin Zhibai hesitate.

“Okay!”

After hearing Ye Xuan’s instruction again, Lin Zhibai gritted his teeth and finally stopped hesitating.

After that, as soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, he sent out the White Flame Bronze Bird and sent it flying straight towards the Baleful Banshee.

The White Flame Bronze Bird was swift. In the blink of an eye and after just flapping its wings a few times, it had flown past the Dried Skeleton General and was only a dozen or so meters before the Baleful Banshee.

Despite seeing the White Flame Bronze Bird charging towards it, the Baleful Banshee had no intention of stopping.

It waved its arms, and a horde of Urn Demons quickly formed a barrier in front of it.

At the same time, it opened its mouth. Then, vague and translucent gas began to gather. It looked like it was about to cast the Baleful Wail at the White Flame Bronze Bird.

Vuong!

Then, at that moment, a spatial wave appeared on the left of its body.

The next moment, a gigantic being suddenly appeared.

It was faster than the Baleful Banshee. It opened its giant mouth.

“Roar!”

In an instant, a huge soundwave exploded from the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus before spreading in all directions.

Under the soundwave, all the Urn Demons that had formed the barrier in front of the Baleful Banshee shook and fell to the ground as if they were falling dumplings.

Simultaneously, the Baleful Banshee, which was preparing to cast the Baleful Wail, also stopped moving for a brief moment due to the Tyrannosaurus’ powerful roar.

Of course, since the level difference between it and the Tyrannosaurus was too large, the time it stopped moving was very brief.

It was really just a very brief moment.

However, that brief moment had decided its fate.

The reason was just as it stopped moving, the White Flame Bronze Bird that the Tyrannosaurus specifically avoided hitting with its soundwave had already arrived in front of the Baleful Banshee.

After that, it stretched out its claw covered in white flames and, with a thrust, pierced a hole in the Baleful Banshee’s chest.

“Ah!”

In an instant, the Baleful Banshee, amidst endless wails, turned into a wisp of green smoke before quickly evaporating into nothingness.

“Roar!”

Seeing the White Flame Bronze Bird kill the Baleful Banshee, the Tyrannosaurus turned around to look at the Ancient Tomb Tree Demon around 30 meters away. Then, it spread its wings and rose into the air. The battle no longer concerned it anymore.

It looked as if it was just there to complete its task, and all merits and fame connected to the task were irrelevant.

However, even though the Tyrannosaurus had decided to leave the battlefield, far away inside the illusion created by the Phantom Fox, the focus of Lin Zhibai and the others had fallen on it.
