Chapter 96

Zhao Shuo shook his head and said, "It's not that the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword is stronger than the Azure Dragon Seal, but rather that this Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword happens to be effective against these skeleton guards. The reason these skeleton guards are powerful is because of the heavy death aura contained within their bones. My Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword can absorb souls and spirits, so it can naturally take in this death aura. As a result, the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword can completely sever the bones of the skeleton guards."

Bai Jianjia nodded and said, "In that case, our safety is more assured."

A large hand held Bai Jianjia's slender waist, and the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword split into nine small swords, which circled around them like flowing light, protecting them. As Zhao Shuo gently jumped, the clinking sounds of the swords could be heard.

Anything that blocked their path was either shredded by the nine small swords or deflected, allowing them to charge through a sea of bone beasts like a sharp blade cutting through paper.

After breaking through the sea of bone beasts, the scene suddenly became bright. A huge square appeared before them, though it was impossible for there to be a square here. The open area was filled with densely packed skeleton guards, and there were no fewer than ten thousand of them.

The two of them hovered in the air, looking down at the tide of skeleton guards and a deep, dark hole in the center. It was clear that to leave, they had to charge through these skeleton guards.

"Damn, there are so many skeleton guards. Even if these guys stood there and let me cut them, I might not be able to finish them all," Zhao Shuo muttered.

Hearing Zhao Shuo's complaint, Bai Jianjia couldn't help but laugh, "Complaining now won't do any good. You might as well think about how to deal with these skeleton guards."

The skeleton guards advanced in neat rows, their killing aura so intense that it made the two of them feel as if they couldn't breathe.

Zhao Shuo shouted, "Thunderfall!"

Dense lightning bolts fell from the sky, crackling and flashing, with black mist swirling around. However, the skeleton guards, despite being hit and knocked askew, managed to withstand the lightning and slowly surrounded the two of them.

Bai Jianjia didn't stand idle either. The essence pearls she had collected earlier flew out one by one, accurately striking the skeleton guards. With each explosion of light, one skeleton guard would be dissolved.

Zhao Shuo's Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword danced among the skeleton guards, slicing them into pieces of bone. The clinking sounds were like a pleasant symphony.

For a moment, the skeleton guards were held back by the two of them. Although it was tiring, they were temporarily safe, which allowed Zhao Shuo and Bai Jianjia to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Zhao Shuo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skeleton knight, several zhang tall, slowly emerging from the deep hole in the center.

Bai Jianjia walked to Zhao Shuo's side and said seriously, "Zhao Shuo, this monster must be the skeleton general mentioned by the unnamed senior. I didn't expect it to be such a creature."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Damn, I wonder which ancient Daoist master this Death Island is. Why are there only these dead things, and we haven't even seen a few treasures?"

Bai Jianjia pointed to the ground, where there were numerous weapons made of Netherworld Black Iron, and said, "These weapons even moved the unnamed senior. How can you say they are not treasures?"

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, collecting dozens of Netherworld Black Iron weapons.

"You stay here and deal with these skeleton guards. I'll go take care of that skeleton knight. We might have to face these skeleton knights soon, so let's see how powerful they are first."

As he spoke, Zhao Shuo leaped forward, using the Great Dragon Claw technique. A green dragon swung its massive claw and fiercely grabbed at the several-zhang-tall skeleton knight.

The skeleton knight rode an unknown bone beast, completely black, and held a long spear in its hand, which suddenly thrust out.

A roar echoed as if two dragons had collided. Zhao Shuo felt a pain in his palm and a strong wind hit his face. He quickly stepped back to avoid the skeleton knight's charge.

Looking at his palm, he saw a faint white spot. The skeleton knight had almost broken through Zhao Shuo's technique and injured him, indicating that the skeleton knight's strength was at least at the First Return stage.

Bai Jianjia asked with concern, "Zhao Shuo, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head at Bai Jianjia and said, "I'm fine, but this monster is really powerful. Its strength is at least at the First Return stage. One or two wouldn't be a problem, but if there were thousands like these skeleton guards, we might as well give up on leaving."

Bai Jianjia rolled her eyes and said, "You still have the heart to joke. Let's kill this monster first."

Zhao Shuo laughed and said, "Roar, watch me show my might!"

The Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword instantly transformed into a giant sword, fiercely slashing down at the skeleton knight. The skeleton knight was truly formidable, and a black smoke column rose from its head, holding the sword in the air. Although the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword was absorbing the death aura, the skeleton knight's death aura was too much, and it couldn't do much for the moment.

However, if Zhao Shuo only had these skills, he wouldn't have been so reckless as to venture into the Fallen God Abyss.

"Northern Abyss Swallow!"

Under Zhao Shuo's full power, the technique was incredibly powerful. At least several hundred skeleton guards were involuntarily drawn into the vortex, and as the vortex spun, the death aura on their bodies was gradually consumed, eventually turning them into dust.

The skeleton guards were only affected by the vortex, but the target of the Northern Abyss Swallow was the skeleton knight.

The skeleton knight seemed to sense the danger, clamping its legs around the bone beast and thrusting its black spear to knock the Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword away. It then forcefully plunged the black spear into the ground, trying to stabilize itself.

However, Zhao Shuo had anticipated this. The Nine Sons Ghost Mother Yin-Yang Sword, after being knocked away, spun in the air and landed on the skeleton knight's black spear.

Zhao Shuo didn't expect to sever the skeleton knight's arm but only wanted to momentarily knock the spear out of its hand. As expected, the skeleton knight's hand trembled, and a suction force was generated, drawing the skeleton knight into the vortex.

Black smoke billowed, and Zhao Shuo had to use his magic power to maintain the technique, consuming decades of his magic power every second, like a flowing stream.

Finally, with a loud boom, the skeleton knight shattered into pieces of bone. Zhao Shuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.

He pulled out the black spear from the ground, but the moment he grasped it, he involuntarily shivered. A pure, sinister death aura rushed into his body, causing his tendons and veins to wither, and he looked as if he had been poisoned, his face turning blue and black.
