Chapter 400: 400
That blood-colored saber quivered, and a biting-cold killing intent instantly enveloped the two of them .
What shocked Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian the most was that an aura suddenly surged out of the bronze-colored skeleton . That was an aura only a living person could have .
The blood-colored saber was pulled out of the ground . Bloody light filled the space, bringing with it endless killing intent that instantly wrapped around the two of them .
They felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse . That saber had yet to even arrive, but the two of them could already smell a strong scent of death .
That was a fatal saber . That Saber Qi filled all of heaven and earth . There was no way to avoid it . The first thing Long Chen did was push Yue Xiaoqian out of the way .
At the same time, a star appeared within his eyes . All his energy surged out crazily, his aura soaring to its peak in ant instant . This was the strongest attack Long Chen had experienced up to this point . He had to use his full strength .
“Split the Heavens!” Long Chen shouted . A saber-image extended out of Devil Decapitator, slashing onto the skeleton in a courageous and desperate manner .
BOOM!
The ground, which was harder than steel here, exploded, shooting out everywhere . The instant their weapons collided, Devil Decapitator shattered to pieces . As for Long Chen, he crazily vomited blood and was sent flying back .
“Long Chen!” Yue Xiaoqian quickly shot over to catch him .
“Idiot, why aren’t you running yet?!” Seeing that Yue Xiaoqian hadn’t taken that chance to instantly flee, Long Chen furiously cursed her .
“You’re the idiot”! Yue Xiaoqian’s eyes reddened, and she retorted, “You clearly know you can’t beat it . Since you wouldn’t abandon me to escape, I wouldn’t abandon you to escape either . ”
Long Chen was speechless . He was surprised this girl had such a strong sense of loyalty . However, this skeleton was too terrifying . “Run!”
He had no time to argue with her . The two of them fled for their lives .
“You clearly knew this skeleton’s origin . Why didn’t you warn me that it would awaken?” complained Long Chen .
“The barbarian race disappeared in the ancient era! The fact I even knew its origin is already not bad . How could I possibly know so many details?” Yue Xiaoqian felt a bit wronged to have all the blame piled on her .
The two of them hadn’t fled far when the skeleton caught up to them . It was incredibly fast .
“Lightning Sword!” Yue Xiaoqian once more used her attack . Thousands of rays of sword-light slashed out at that skeleton, aiming for its joints .
But with a wave of its saber, terrifying Saber Qi exploded out, shaking heaven and earth, easily destroying Yue Xiaoqian’s attack .
“It actually retained its battle consciousness!”
Both Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian’s expressions changed . Back when this skeleton was alive, it had definitely been a terrifying figure . This also seemed to prove that those Two-Winged Devilmen were also killed by it .
Buzz . It once more slashed out its saber, locking the two of them in place . This time the attack was even more terrifying than last time, and it was as if all of heaven and earth had solidified . The abyss was constantly shuddering, and it was as if the end of the world had come .
“Long Chen, I can only block a single one of its attacks . You should know what you need to do . ” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly clenched her teeth and pushed out her hand . Long Chen was sent flying out by some bizarre energy, escaping that terrifying lock .
“What kind of joke is that?!” Long Chen was both startled and furious . Yue Xiaoqian was planning on sacrificing herself so that Long Chen could escape .
Suddenly, an illusory image appeared behind Yue Xiaoqian, one that looked like a heavenly immortal . At the same time, countless runes lit up atop Yue Xiaoqian’s body, and all of heaven and earth began to quiver .
“Ancestral bloodline, hear your descendant’s call! Grant me my bloodline power!”
Divine light shone out of Yue Xiaoqian’s eyes . Following her words, an incredibly powerful aura began to surge out of her, one that caused the ground around her to crumble .
Golden lines began to appear over her forehead . As they gradually condensed together, they formed a single word: Devil!
As soon as that Devil character appeared, a powerful energy formed a huge pillar of light that surged into the clouds, causing heaven and earth to shudder .
Long Chen was stupefied by that energy . That energy wasn’t spiritual qi, nor was it any other energy he had ever seen before .
As her aura soared, Yue Xiaoqian’s veil broke apart, revealing a flawlessly beautiful face .
But before Long Chen could even get a clear look, Yue Xiaoqian raised her sword . Following this movement, all the energy from every direction converged together .
At the same time as Yue Xiaoqian moved, the illusory figure behind her moved . A sword appeared in its hand, and it followed her movements identically .
Dense lines appeared in her pupils, and her aura rose to a peak .
“Devil Heart Slash!”
Her sword merged with the sword of the illusory figure behind her, causing her aura to once more explosively rise as her attack slashed towards the skeleton .
BOOOM!!!
Long Chen only just saw Yue Xiaoqian’s sword collide with the skeleton’s saber when he was struck by a terrifying qi wave .
He felt as if a huge hammer had smashed into his chest, and he shot back like cannonball, smashing into a cliff . That terrifying force caused half the cliff to collapse, and Long Chen felt as if all his bones had broken .
But despite his pain, his gaze was still focused on that battle . He saw that Yue Xiaoqian also flew back after that world-shaking exchange .
After that one attack, the Devil character on her forehead disappeared, and her aura instantly fell . That one attack had used up all her energy .
As for the skeleton, it was forced back hundreds of meters . It had stabbed its saber into the ground, carving out a long ditch . It had borrowed the power of the ground to stabilize itself .
Then it stamped on the ground and shot forward at Yue Xiaoqian . Even though she had used a secret art to overdraft her energy, her terrifying attack had been unable to harm the skeleton in the slightest, and a saber now came slashing down on her .
Her body was no longer listening to her . She could only watch as that saber came slashing down on her .
Suddenly, two arms wrapped around her and brought her rolling to the side . The blood-colored saber just missed their heads .
A ditch ten miles long was carved onto the ground . As for Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian, they tumbled back further into the distance .
Yue Xiaoqian had thought her death to be certain . She hadn’t expected that Long Chen hadn’t fled . But although she was moved, she also felt sad . The fact that he had stayed behind didn’t give her any hope . Instead, he would just be accompanying her as they died .
She hadn’t expected that amongst all the bad people her mother had told her about, there was a good person like Long Chen who was willing to sacrifice his life for her .
“I’m sorry Long Chen . I’ve implicated you . ” The two of them tumbled into the distance . Yue Xiaoqian was quietly sobbing into his chest .
“What nonsense is that? If it weren’t for my greed, you’d have long since left . I’m the one who implicated you . ” Long Chen tightly held Yue Xiaoqian . The current Yue Xiaoqian was no longer some expert, but a pitiable and weak girl .
Long Chen really was regretful . It was his greed that had pulled him and Yue Xiaoqian to the point of despair .
Just now when Yue Xiaoqian had pushed him away, he really had had a chance to flee . But if he really had fled like that, then he wouldn’t be Long Chen . He absolutely refused to let a woman sacrifice herself to block danger for him .
“Long Chen, we’re about to die . I’m glad I get to die with a good person like you . ” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly felt a burst of warmth .
“What nonsense is that? I still have many more things to do, so I can’t die . And since I can’t die, I won’t die . You just rest . I’ll see whether I can find some way to cut it down . Lend me your sword . ” Long Chen comforted Yue Xiaoqian, but he had already rushed over to the skeleton before finishing .
Yue Xiaoqian felt empty inside . She felt a bit cold after having left Long Chen’s embrace .
Seeing Long Chen’s courageous figure, she was extremely moved . In her heart, perhaps Long Chen wasn’t the strongest person, but he was definitely the bravest .
In front of an enemy he couldn’t possibly defeat, he still didn’t show the slightest discouragement . Even in this kind of situation, he still didn’t have any intention of giving up .
In his heart, there was an undefeatable belief in himself . Even Yue Xiaoqian was infected by that .
Charging at the skeleton, he dodged its saber and chopped his sword at its knee .
He knew this skeleton’s power had already surpassed his imagination . Facing it head-on was certain death .
Long Chen also didn’t hope to be able to defeat it . As long as he could cut off a leg, that would cause it to lose its speed, and then he and Yue Xiaoqian would have some hope of fleeing .
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Long Chen planned . This skeleton had retained its battle awareness . It seemed to know what Long Chen was trying to do, and it twisted its leg, causing Long Chen’s sword to strike its lower leg bone . Sparks flew along with a metallic ringing .
Not only had he not severed its leg, the webbing of his hand was greatly shaken, and he almost lost his grip of the sword .
Long Chen was horrified . Just this skeleton without any flesh or blood, one that only retained some fighting instincts, was already this terrifying . Then if it were alive, just how terrifying would it be?
Long Chen continuously dodged its attacks . However, no matter what he tried, he found this three-meter-tall skeleton was just too powerful . He was unable to find its weak point .
BOOM!
After repeatedly dodging multiple times, he finally wasn’t able to dodge an attack . All he could to was receive it directly with his sword .
That blood-colored saber sent Long Chen flying with a terrifying force . The skin on his hands split open, and he was finally unable to maintain a grip on his sword . It was sent flying out of his grip .
Long Chen tumbled back hundreds of meters . Suddenly, he felt a softness as he was caught by Yue Xiaoqian . Only then did he stop .
Before Long Chen could even say anything, the skeleton had already charged over . Long Chen extended both hands . Flames soared from his left hand, while a ball of lightning appeared in his right hand . He sent both these attacks crashing into the skeleton .
The instant his flame and lightning struck the skeleton, two explosions rang out . However, the skeleton didn’t have any flesh to injure . It merely slowed down for a moment before its saber came flashing down on them .
He had already lost Yue Xiaoqian’s sword . Furthermore, this blood-colored sword had locked them down tightly now, making it impossible to dodge . Long Chen could only shout, and clapped both his hands together on the saber .
He clenched the saber tightly . However, that saber was far too terrifying . Both Long Chen’s arms almost broke from the effort, but he bitterly endured .
But no matter how he tried, that saber still continued to slowly slash down . It landed on his shoulder, and that sharp blade instantly pierced his flesh, bringing with it a spurt of blood .
