Chapter 237: Skull

uestioned.“Aren’t those strange fellows from Beast Demon Valley here as well Our Wu clan saved several of their disciples before, and this time we’re pursuing a heavily injured Jindan female cultivato...The green lion's two fluffy paws swiped at the several people, its claws emitting a faint green light and a stench. If it scratched someone, it would probably be very painful.

However, both Lu Xia Tian and Su Qing were enough to stop Green Nosed Tiger. After all, the immense power of the Dan Yuan Artifacts had allowed them to fight on equal terms with their opponent. Logically speaking, these two beasts, knowing they were outmatched, should at least show a hint of fear or apprehension. But from what we see now, these two beasts seem to have no worry about retreat whatsoever. 。Lu Xia Tian and Su Qing, who reacted the fastest, simultaneously made their move. One sword, one whip, sealed off all attack and retreat routes for the two beasts. In just a few moves, they could slaughter these two incredibly formidable Yin corpses. 。As the two clashed, the other three reacted and tried to join the fight. Suddenly, a faint voice echoed through the mysterious space. 。On this very juncture, behind the Seven Nights Phantom Ancient Flower, there was once a pitch-black void of utter silence. 。But this darkness suddenly condensed into a point, forming a black mirror. Suddenly, three white skulls the size of baskets emerged from the mirror, accompanied by eerie laughter and gnashing teeth directed at Lu Xia Tian, Luo Qian, and Su Qing. 。Each skull emanates a powerful aura. 。< A mole in the shape of a "hou" character is on his forehead > 。

The Ghost Marquis, originally equivalent to a human cultivator who has established their foundation, and the three skulls in front of me, the character "Hou" on each is as black as ink. They are already among the strongest Ghost Marquises.

Lu XiaTian could even feel that these ghost marshals were no weaker than the green armored skeletons from before in terms of aura. 。Su Qing and Luo Qian's attention was originally focused on the lion crocodile demon and the green lion. 。While Su Qing's moves were old-fashioned, she had no time to spare. 。Facing the gnawed skull, a nameless fear gripped my heart. 。As for Luo Qian, he woke up a half beat later than Su Qing. Before this, Lu Xia Tian and Su Qing had made their move. Now that Luo Qian had time to spare, with both hands he summoned forth a gigantic lightning spear, crackling with electric light. Its powerful aura even surpassed the Blazing Flame Fire Sword. The massive lightning column formed by the spear shot straight ahead. 。The originally arrogant white skull monster's laughter came to an abrupt halt. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of gray smoke, and within the smoke, it seemed that countless vengeful spirits were howling. The lightning bolt struck the smoke, emitting bursts of screams. The sound and smoke crackled under the impact of the lightning bolt, but the fierce light of the lightning bolt was also rapidly fading. 。

What a powerful thunder gun, no wonder Luo Qian's eyes always looked at him with a challenge before. I didn't expect to get a thunder-type dan yuan magic weapon. Lei Wantian is really generous to this disciple.

Lu Xiaitian's heart sank. He had been struggling outside, working hard to obtain the Dan Yuan. But Luo Qian, with a good master, surpassed all his countless efforts. It really was infuriating to compare oneself to others. 。

With the addition of three skulls to the fray, the balance of power shifted dramatically. Three ghost kings at the peak of their power, along with Green Lion, made for four individuals comparable to cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Whether it was Green Lion's yin corpse or the skulls themselves, they were far more formidable than ordinary cultivators.

In terms of cultivation, the other party had a clear advantage. Hu Ruining and Xia Dong looked at each other, their faces full of apprehension. 。There was a hint of retreat in her expression. 。

The three skulls were obviously not easy to deal with, and Lu Xiaoteng discovered a very complicated situation. Since the appearance of the three skulls, the gray ripples emanating from the Qiyè Mínggǔ Flower seemed to be absorbed by the skulls. The one entangled in battle with Luo Qian after eliminating the thunder pillar's power, let out a sinister laugh and recovered its previous arrogance. Logically speaking, Lei Xiu was originally the nemesis of ghost cultivators, but the skull in front of him didn't seem to fear him at all. It must be because of the Qiyè Mínggǔ Flower.

But for now, the priority is to stop the remaining two skulls. 。“Su Shimei, you attack the Green Salamander with all your might. Xia Shidi and Hu Shidi will kill the Lion Crocodile Demon. I’ll hold off these two skulls first.” 。Time waits for no one, Lu Xia Tian shouted resolutely. 。Xia Dong and Hu Ruining instinctively cast a doubtful look. Even Luo Qian, who could suppress ghost cultivators, could only barely hold his own against one skeleton head. Lu Xiaotian relied on a fire-attributed Dan Yuan magic weapon, which was probably not even as powerful as Luo Qian's. He dared to boast that he could withstand two skeleton heads – it was truly outrageous. 。In the midst of their private doubts, a giant ochre-colored puppet materialized out of thin air. The clay golem held a hammer in one hand and a large, yellow earthen shield in the other. 。The ostentatiously forward skull just blocked that sturdy large shield. 。

Being flung back, the skull's anger flared. It opened its mouth and spewed a torrent of ash, instantly surrounding the clay puppet with swirling gray smoke. Lu Xia Tian seemed to feel countless vengeful spirits swarming around the clay puppet, biting at it relentlessly.

This level of attack, Lu Xia Tian was secretly startled. If it were him, he was afraid his spirit would also be affected. This skull is truly powerful. 。However, it's a pity that the earthen puppet itself is not made of flesh and blood. It relies entirely on Lu Xiaoteng's control. The materials used to create the earthen puppet are extremely rare... Before the skull could see the result of victory, the earthen puppet swung its heavy hammer and struck the white skull directly. The skull let out a shriek of pain and recoiled backward. 。In contrast, Lu Xia Tian used his Chi Yan Li Huo Jian to pierce the skull. The third skull was ignited with an inferno that burned with such intensity that the gray mist stirred in response. 。But it was only a draw. 。“A Rank 6 Peak Puppet!” Xia Dong and Hu Ruining were both taken aback. Lu Xiaotian himself had a burning flame sword, which was fine, but he could actually use one mind to control a Rank 6 peak puppet in battle. 。How terrifying is this power! 。Luo Qian's heart was filled with anger. Since he parted ways with Lu Xiaoteng after defeating the extraterrestrial cultivators, Luo Qian was deeply stimulated and went into seclusion in Lingxiao Palace to cultivate diligently. Because of his outstanding talent and the favor of Lei Wantian, he was even bestowed by Lei Wantian with a precious drop of thunder element elixir. Luo Qian day and night refined it, his strength increased rapidly. He originally thought that he could suppress this enemy, Lu Xiaoteng. 。Lu Xiaitian already had a Chi Yan Lihuo Sword in his hand, which was enough to surprise him. He knew Lu Xiaitian's background very well and wanted to get Dan Yuan, it wasn't an easy task at all. 。To Luo Qian's surprise, Lu XiaTian not only possessed a Dan Yuan artifact but also a formidable sixth-rank peak puppet. Furthermore, he had cultivated a peculiar divine sense attack technique, allowing him to multitask effectively. In terms of overall strength, Luo Qian believed he could handle either Lu XiaTian wielding the Chi Yan Li Huo sword or this earthen puppet. 。But the sum of the two is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals this. 。Lu Qian's bitter discovery was that if he fought Lu Xia Tian at this moment, he would still only be forced to flee in defeat. 。The earthen puppet excels at defense, while the Blazing Inferno Sword is adept at attack. When used together, he has no confidence in being able to hold out for long. 。Among the few, only Su Qing was overjoyed. Taking advantage of the three skulls that suddenly emerged being held back by Luo Qian and Lu Xiaoteng, Su Qing's golden whip lashed out, winding around the Green Lion's neck. The golden whip writhed strangely, like a snake constricting something, then quickly strangled its target. 。The green scaled beast fought back fiercely, struggling to break free, but was bound tightly by the golden whip. 。At this time, with suspicion gone, Xia Dong and the other partnered up to fight the Lion Crocodile Demon. To their astonishment, they discovered that despite their higher cultivation levels, in a real fight, they were actually the weakest among them. 。

Lu XiaTian, while controlling the burning flame sword and fighting a skull, also controlled the earth puppet to wield a heavy hammer and chase after another floundering skeleton.

This skull was struck several times by the earth puppet's great hammer. Every time it was damaged, Lu Xia Tian could always feel the aura emanating from the Seven Nights Underworld Ancient Flower restoring the skull's vitality. 。Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, as long as there was this plant of Seven Nights Underworld Ancient Flower, these few skulls would be almost invincible. 。

Luo Qian also found the same problem. In order not to lose face in front of Su Qing, Luo Qian forced back his opponent's hand, combining man and gun, and fired a shot at Qi Ye Ming Gu Hua.

Physical and magical power circulated to their limit, the skull couldn't withstand it and could only deflect a portion of Luo Qian's attack. 。It was then ripped apart, the spearhead aimed at the Seven Nights Underworld Ancient Flower. If they could destroy this evil plant, these skeletons would become unrooted and withered, no matter how powerful, they probably wouldn't last long. 。Just then, a giant bony hand suddenly reached out from the pitch-black mirror. The hand carried a powerful aura. It seemed to be dozens of feet away from Luo Qian originally, but in an instant, the distance was bridged by the bone hand. It moved incredibly fast, grabbing directly towards Luo Qian's chest. 。Luo Qian was taken aback, he didn't expect another unexpected event to happen. 。Without a second thought, the lightning spear swept across, piercing directly at Gu Shou's bones. The two forces collided with intense force. 。However, the skeletal hand's aura became even stronger. Luo Qian repelled a skeleton with a similar head, and his momentum had weakened considerably. He was caught off guard again and couldn't resist. His eyes turned towards the huge bone hand, which shattered the Lei Gun's defenses in an instant. A claw directly grasped towards Luo Qian's chest. 。Lu Qian's face turned pale with fright. Although he hadn't been caught by the bone hand yet, the aura of death swept over him. Even if he didn't die, being attacked by this sinister power would be extremely unpleasant. 。In a moment of peril, a brownish-yellow hammer roared and struck the bone hand. 。It was the earthen golem wielding a massive hammer that repelled the skull-faced horde. 。

The rusty metal sheet glistened under the dim moonlight. A gentle breeze rustled the withered leaves, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and decaying wood. A lone crow cawed in the distance, its eerie cry echoing through the silent night.

The drums of war thundered, the air thick with a sense of impending doom. A massive hammer, interwoven with ghostly wails, struck the seven-night ghost flower. The blow sent ripples through its gray light, causing it to tremble violently as if on the verge of collapse. 。"Damn it!" a gritted voice came from the black mirror. 。"It's really a green armored skeleton!" The eerie voice sounded familiar to Lu Xia Tian's ears. Lu Xia Tian's face darkened, since the Seven Nights Ghost Flower was so important to this green armored skeleton, he couldn't let it get to the skeleton. Every time he encountered this skeleton, something bad happened. 。ut such a powerful puppet. Just now, those two Golden Core stage monsters, any one of them would have been enough to crush these dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators. Yet, this Ox-Head Gia...
