The Warring Palace Skeleton was sitting where Ling Chen had first seen it. Back then, Ling Chen had only been able to see it when he was very close to it. But now, without the Eerie Castle blocking the light, Ling Chen could clearly see its gigantic body from hundreds of metres away. When he saw it, Ling Chen took a deep breath, and took out his weapon. He patted the Cloud-treading Colt and roared, "Charge!!!"
The first time he had come here, he had been extremely careful with his every step. But now, he was charging with all his might!
If Xi Ling was here, facing the Celestial grade Warring Palace Skeleton, she would only need 3 "Crimson Lasers" to easily kill it. Xi Ling could no longer fight, and even without Xi Ling, he could still kill it.
As he ran, Ling Chen got closer and closer to the Warring Palace Skeleton. In the blink of an eye, he had already stepped into the Eerie Castle. He squinted his eyes … he remembered clearly that he had asked Xi Ling to attack the semi-spirit girl, which had awakened the Warring Palace Skeleton. In other words, if he didn't attack it, this giant skeleton wouldn't take the initiative to awaken and attack him. As such, he didn't have any misgivings as he approached.
"Soul Sacrifice!!"
"Battle Soul Possession!!"
The semi-spirit girl's ability to seal him was something he couldn't resist. So before he even got close, he had already activated his strongest skill, his attack power exploding to its peak. He then stared at the Warring Palace Skeleton, and when he was less than 10 metres away, he leapt up from the Cloud-treading Colt. At the same time, he recalled it, and used Ling Tian Slash with his left hand and Four Corners Star Formation with his right, attacking the Warring Palace Skeleton at the same time. Right from the start, he had used his strongest 2 attacks. This was because if he didn't use them at the start, he wouldn't be able to use them later on. Moreover, facing a LV20 Celestial grade BOSS, any one of its attacks would be enough to kill him. There was no difference between 1 HP and full HP.
"Hah!!!"
Using the speed from before, Ling Chen's body glided through the air for nearly 10 metres. His spear and sword simultaneously slashed at the Warring Palace Skeleton's body, giving off a deafening explosion … That's right, when Ling Chen's attacks landed on the Warring Palace Skeleton's body, they only gave off the sound of metal colliding, but this time, they gave off a solid explosion.
Bang!! Boom!!
− 31046, − 29568!
A purple and blue damage value floated up from the Warring Palace Skeleton's body. The purple damage value represented a critical hit and a pierce hit, while the blue damage value represented a pierce hit … the two attacks hadn't affected the Warring Palace Skeleton's defense at all! With the Cancer Orb, the damage dealt by Ling Chen's attacks would only be blue and purple, no longer red and yellow. This was because all of his attacks were either Piercing Attacks or Explosive Attacks.
Rumble …
The two sudden attacks woke up the Warring Palace Skeleton from its slumber. As the ground trembled, the Warring Palace Skeleton slowly stood up, a gigantic bone sword appearing in its hands. At the same time, a deep voice sounded out from above.
"Who dares to disturb my rest …"
"Shut up …"
The first time he had heard this voice, he had felt a chill down his spine. Such a large skeleton, such a deep and long voice, was filled with an imposing and oppressive aura. But now, to him, it seemed like an idiot. It had taken at least 3 seconds to get up, and another 5 seconds to shake the sword in its hands and roar. During this period of time, Ling Chen was at his most relaxed, as he continued to attack the Warring Palace Skeleton.

With [Soul Sacrifice], Ling Chen's attacks were terrifying. His previous two attacks under [Battle Soul Possession] had taken over 60,000 of the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP. And now, with the third wave of [Ling Tian Slash], the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP of 250,000 had fallen to less than half, and a layer of grey light appeared on its body.
At this moment, Ling Chen quickly stopped his attacks and retreated at full speed. After retreating 30 meters, the Warring Palace Skeleton finally entered battle mode. In its right hand, Ling Chen saw a girl in a black dress with a pair of jet black eyes.
Her hair was as black as ink, and it danced in the dim light, lightly brushing against her jade-white cheeks. Under the black dress was a pair of delicate, snow-white calves. She did not have shoes, and her toes were sparkling and translucent, looking incredibly exquisite. In his arms, there was still the rabbit plushie with long ears, but it looked old. Everything about her was completely out of place with the giant skeleton behind her. And Ling Chen's enemy was not just the Warring Palace Skeleton. This girl was the biggest obstacle to him defeating the Warring Palace Skeleton.
The Warring Palace Skeleton's strongest abilities were its attack and defense, especially its defense, which was so strong that it could cause people to feel despair. Even with Ling Chen's powerful attack, he would not be able to break through its defense without [Soul Sacrifice]. While its attack and defense were extremely high, its movement speed was also extremely low. After each attack, it would take a few seconds before it could attack again. Furthermore, its attack style was very simple. Apart from its ultimate skill that could only be used once a day, the only other attack it had was [Earth Rending Slash].
And if its huge advantage in defense was gone, in Ling Tian's eyes, this Celestial BOSS would not be a threat at all. The only thing stopping him from defeating it was its [Shield of Resentment] and the semi-spirit girl.
When its HP fell below 50%, the Warring Palace Skeleton's [Shield of Resentment], which could reflect 10% of physical damage, was activated. Under the effect of [Soul Sacrifice], Ling Chen could not attack it at this moment, otherwise he would be killed by his own attack. He once again summoned Cloud-treading Colt, and quickly retreated. Behind him, the Warring Palace Skeleton began to move. With a single step, it closed the distance between it and Ling Chen by a third.
"Even if … I … die … I … will … not … allow … you … to … harm … the … person … I … protect …"
Even though it had fallen to Celestial grade, the Warring Palace Skeleton's voice was still deafening. Ling Chen calculated the time, while looking back at the distance between them. The reason why this giant skeleton forcefully maintained its consciousness was because it was protecting something … Was it protecting that bodiless, half-soulless girl?
Finally, the effects of [Soul Sacrifice] ended. Ling Chen immediately stopped, and drank a potion to restore his HP to full. He then turned around and charged towards the Warring Palace Skeleton.
"Today … you will die without a doubt!!"
Because of his relationship with Xi Ling, this was the first time he felt such hatred towards a monster that he had to kill. When he stepped into the Warring Palace Skeleton's attack range, the Warring Palace Skeleton stopped in its tracks, and raised its giant sword, slashing down towards Ling Chen's position.
Boom!!!
The ground cracked, and dust flew everywhere. If this attack had hit, Ling Chen would have died without a doubt. However … when the Warring Palace Skeleton attacked, the warning signs were very obvious. When it was at Heaven's End grade, Ling Chen could predict where it would attack, but because of its terrifying speed and terrifying attack range, he had no way of dodging it. However, the Celestial grade Warring Palace Skeleton's [Earth Splitting Slash] had shrunk by 3/4. Riding on Cloud-treading Colt, Ling Chen's current Movement Speed had reached 206! Dodging it was extremely easy.
Under the rumbling sound, Ling Chen easily escaped from the Warring Palace Skeleton's attack range, and rushed to its feet, slashing down with Ling Tian Slash.
-1940，-3878。
-194，-388。
Two Ling Tian Slashes had taken away 5000 of the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP, and his own HP had dropped by more than half. At the same time, two black lights silently appeared around his body, wrapping around his body.
"Ding … you have been bound by 'Darkness Lock', for 30 seconds your attack speed, jumping ability and evasion have all been reduced by 30%, hit rate and movement speed reduction have been nullified."
"Ding … you have been bound by 'Darkness Lock', for 30 seconds you will be unable to use any active skills."
Ling Chen raised his head. About 20 metres above him, there was a girl dressed in black, her hands flashing with a black light.
The Jadeite Jade had taken effect, nullifying the movement speed reduction from the Darkness Lock. As for his attack speed, evasion and jumping ability, he could basically ignore it, so not being able to use any skills was something he could accept. When the Warring Palace Skeleton launched its next attack, he used a normal attack to quickly rush forwards.
-924，-930
-92，-93
Four attacks, caused Ling Chen's HP to fall dangerously low. He stopped attacking, and prepared to recover his HP. Suddenly, a sense of danger came from above. By the time he sensed the danger, the pitch-black spike that had silently formed above his head was only half a metre away from him … before, when he had faced this pitch-black spike for the first time, his Movement Speed had been reduced, and adding on the fact that he had been caught off guard, he had been hit in one shot. Now that he was prepared, he definitely wouldn't be hit so easily like the first time.
Without even thinking, Ling Chen's body flashed, and he jumped down from Cloud-treading Colt like a bolt of lightning, narrowly avoiding the black spike that had descended from the sky. The black spike landed on Cloud-treading Colt's back, almost instantly killing it. After landing on the ground, Ling Chen furrowed his eyebrows. After hesitating for half a second, he recalled Cloud-treading Colt. To him, the black spike was an extremely frightening attack. This was because when it was released, it was completely silent. Even for him, he could only sense it through the countless times he had been on the brink of death. If he was hit even once while fighting with the Warring Palace Skeleton, he would most likely die on the spot. As such, he decisively abandoned his mount … although a mount increased his movement speed, it also decreased his agility. Even without Cloud-treading Colt, his own movement speed was more than enough to avoid the Warring Palace Skeleton's attacks.
And the best way to deal with the Pitch Black Thorn … was to keep his body in a high-speed state at all times. This was because the black spike first formed around the target, and then attacked afterwards. Under high speed, the black spike could easily deviate from its target, or even miss its target.
As such, after Ling Chen recovered his HP to full, he took a deep breath, and began to run around the Warring Palace Skeleton's body as fast as he could.
