Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the skeleton in front of them. Even though they had the absolute advantage in numbers, they still did not dare to take a deep breath, afraid that they would disturb this thing.
Even though they had already returned all the treasures that they had obtained in the Secret Realm, the skeleton was still unmoved. The pupils that were condensed by the purple lightning were staring straight at Gu Xi in the crowd.
Gu Xi looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, his back was already soaked in cold sweat. He really could not understand why this guy kept staring at him.
He had already handed over everything that needed to be handed over. Why was this guy still sticking onto him?
Both parties stared at each other. For a moment, no one made a move.
After a long time, the skeleton finally made a move.
His dry fingers trembled and then pointed forward.
A small but complicated purple array was drawn out in an instant. Immediately, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket shot out from it.
Its target was Gu Xi!
Gu Xi was already on guard. The moment the spirit formation appeared, his body quickly retreated backward, and in the blink of an eye, he had already retreated more than a thousand feet.
“What enmity? What grudge!” Gu Xi said with a bitter smile, his pupils reflecting the attack that was coming at him through the air.
He did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, and the spiritual power in his body, which had long been ready to be unleashed, burst out in an instant. He held the longsword in his hand, and raised his hand to draw out another sword technique.
It was simple and plain, but it contained the ultimate will of the sword!
A sharp Sword Will mixed with boundless spiritual power rushed out and directly rushed toward the lightning that was as thick as a bucket.
Wherever it passed, the surrounding void was even opened up by this sharp Sword Qi, revealing the endless darkness within.
Boom boom boom —
Soon, a series of explosions sounded in the square.
A spiritual energy ripple mixed with lightning and sword qi spread out at an extremely fast speed.
Everyone was already prepared. Spiritual energy barriers of different colors were erected, but faced with such a powerful impact, most of the barriers were shattered in just a few seconds. The people behind had no choice but to retreat.
“Go!” someone in the crowd shouted.
Then, everyone rushed toward the direction of the stone door.
Now that the mysterious skeleton was being held back by Gu Xi, it was a good time to leave.
Everyone rushed towards the stone door, afraid that they would not be able to leave if they were a little later.
“Senior Sister, we…” Su Lian asked worriedly.
“Leave this place!” Qing Xue did not hesitate at all.
Su Lian pursed her lips but hesitated.
If Gu Xi was left here alone, he would definitely die.
“I know what you’re thinking. Have you forgotten what happened just now?”
“All of us combined are no match for the skeleton. It’s impossible to save Gu Xi now!” Qing Xue said sternly, then signaled the others to retreat.
Su Lian sighed helplessly, then turned around and left as well.
She could not sacrifice all of them here just for Gu Xi.
After they passed through the stone door, Qing Xue turned back to look at Gu Xi who was struggling to deal with the skeleton in the distance, and muttered to herself, “I believe you can walk out of here alive.”
For some reason, Gu Xi always gave her an inexplicable sense of confidence.
Without further hesitation, Qing Xue also faintly sighed and used her movement technique to leave.
Not far away, Wang Zhan, who had seen everything, sneered.
“Gu Xi, oh Gu Xi, now no one will care about you.”
“This time, I want to see what you can use to escape!”
After saying that, Wang Zhan’s figure also disappeared from the stone door.
At this point, everyone had successfully retreated out of the Secret Realm.
Except for Gu Xi.
On the square, the battle was still ongoing.
Gu Xi’s figure continuously dodged the skeleton’s attacks, appearing to be in a sorry state.
He had tried to take the initiative to attack the skeleton, but each time, he was defused skillfully, and what followed was an even more violent attack.
The high-level magic array that was set up with a raise of his hand could only make Gu Xi run away.
In just a few minutes, Gu Xi had completely realized the power of the magic array that the Master of the Secret Realm had when he was alive. It was simply terrifying!
‘I can’t continue to drag this out, or I’ll be exhausted to death by it sooner or later.’ Narrowly dodging the skeleton’s attack again, Gu Xi thought to himself.
At this moment, his chest was heaving up and down, and the spiritual power in his body was already stretched to the limit. He estimated that in another hour, the spiritual power in his body would be completely exhausted.
At that time, it would be the time of his death!
Currently, the only trump card in his hand was Little Jin.
However, even if Little Jin had the strength of a Saint, the two of them were no match for the skeleton in front of him. However, at this moment, he had no other choice but to gamble.
“Dammit, let’s go all out!” Gu Xi spoke in a deep voice. After which, he summoned Little Jin.
At the same time, a blue light shot out from his storage bag. In the blink of an eye, it flew towards the skeleton.
“This is… The Lightning Spirit Pearl?”
Gu Xi was a little surprised. In an instant, he recognized this item.
“Could it be that this fellow is here for this thing?”
This thought quickly surfaced in Gu Xi’s mind.
The Lightning Spirit Pearl directly penetrated into the skull of the skeleton. Immediately, the skeleton, which was about to attack Gu Xi, stopped in its tracks at this moment. It was as though it had fallen into a deep sleep.
“This… Is it over?”
The end of the battle was too sudden. It really caught Gu Xi off guard.
For a moment, Gu Xi did not know whether to stay or leave.
A moment later, he tiptoed and chose to take this opportunity to leave.
Such a good opportunity was right in front of him. It would be a pity if he did not seize it.
When he passed by the dozens of treasures, Gu Xi could not help but glance at them. Then, he turned his head to look at the skeleton that was still standing in the same spot. He gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, wealth comes from danger. I’ll risk it all!”
In the end, he could not resist the temptation of the treasures. Gu Xi raised his hand and grabbed them.
He did not want much. He just wanted to take back the two original treasures.
Everything went smoothly. The treasures entered his hands and he kept them in his bag.
However, just as he turned around and was about to leave, a chill came from behind him for no reason. This made him subconsciously shiver.
“I can’t be that unlucky, can I?”
Even though he didn’t turn around, Gu Xi had already roughly guessed it.
“It seems that Young Friend really likes these things.”
Just as the little remaining spiritual energy in Gu Xi’s body was once again ready to be released, this sentence came from behind him.
