Facing the threat of the Darkness Spike, Ling Chen began to run at full speed. He did not run in a straight line, but he did not run randomly either. His two weapons also landed on the Warring Palace Skeleton's feet as he ran, and his attack rate did not decrease at all.
Compared to the Warring Palace Skeleton's gigantic body, Ling Chen's body was quite small. As such, after the Warring Palace Skeleton attacked once, it would have to spend more effort to lock onto his position. As such, the frequency of its attacks was much lower. The second before the Warring Palace Skeleton sheathed its sword, Ling Chen immediately stopped his attacks and distanced himself from it, in order to prevent its feet from stepping on his body. He then waited for its second attack as he moved.
Boom!!
Another Earth-splitting Slash descended, and Ling Chen easily dodged it like before. He rushed to the Warring Palace Skeleton's feet, and attacked 6 times in a row, leaving the half-spirit girl's Darkness Spike far behind him. Ling Chen's judgement was not wrong at all. The Darkness Spike was silent, and extremely difficult to detect and defend against. However, it had a huge flaw, which was that it required a very short amount of time to form, and its attack range was not very large. If one's control and judgement were not good enough, it would be very difficult to hit a moving target.
-924, -930, -1862, -921 … …
The Warring Palace Skeleton's HP once again dropped. After six attacks, Ling Chen quickly retreated, putting enough distance between himself and the Warring Palace Skeleton. He did not want to be greedy and attack a few more times. The most important thing for him to do was to stay alive. Furthermore, with his current attack rate and the Warring Palace Skeleton's remaining HP, if there were no accidents, he would be able to kill it in less than 20 attacks!
"Fall … with … me … into … the … white … hell …"
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
… …
The Warring Palace Skeleton's deep undead voice continued to ring in Ling Chen's ears, but it was unable to distract him. He had already entered into battle mode, and his mind was extremely focused. Under the dual attacks of the Warring Palace Skeleton and the semi-spirit girl, Ling Chen was like a phantom, leaving all of the enemy's attacks behind him. Then, he would rush in between the gaps of the Warring Palace Skeleton's attacks, unleashing six swift and fierce attacks. From start to finish, he had not been hit by the Warring Palace Skeleton's AOE attacks. All of the damage he had taken had come from himself.
Back then, the Greedy Giant Toad's pounce and barbed tongue were so fast that it couldn't even touch him for nine hours. Not to mention this giant skeleton that had a big head but a terrible mobility. He struck again and again, using his normal attacks to evenly destroy its HP, and at the same time, he recovered the HP that he lost. With Absolute Hit, Absolute Pierce, and an extremely high critical rate, even with normal attacks, the Warring Palace Skeleton's efficiency was astonishing. In less than ten exchanges, the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP fell to around 50,000.
Alright, let's continue like this …
All of the attacks missed, but the Warring Palace Skeleton continued to lock onto Ling Chen's position, slashing down with its giant sword. It still had a sliver of consciousness, but it didn't have any intelligence, nor did it know how to use tactics. As such, the situation that Ling Chen was worried about did not occur. When Ling Chen pulled away from it for the tenth time, the Warring Palace Skeleton did not raise its giant sword. Instead, it raised its right leg and stomped heavily on the ground.
Ling Chen squinted his eyes, and gave a disdainful smile. His gaze was focused on the Warring Palace Skeleton's right leg, and just as it was about to hit the ground, he suddenly jumped up.
Boom!!
This was the Warring Palace Skeleton's [Earth Shaking Trample], which had a high chance of stunning. If he was hit by it, the stunned Ling Chen would definitely die. At the same time, the [Earth Shaking Trample]'s large area of effect made it impossible for Ling Chen to escape. However, from Little Gray's [Eye of the Holy Spirit], it clearly indicated that this skill only affected enemies on the ground … which meant that the ground shook violently to stun nearby targets. As such, as long as he judged the right time, he would be able to leave the ground in that instant, and he wouldn't be affected.
A loud sound rang out in his ears, and the ground shook violently. Under the effect of the semi-spirit girl's [Dark Hell Lock], his jumping ability had been reduced, but it was still enough. After staying in the air for less than a second, Ling Chen had already landed on the ground. The shaking of the ground caused his body to stagger a bit, but it didn't stun him. Ling Chen grinned, and quickly rushed forward, taking advantage of this opening to attack with his Soaring Cloud and Zephyr Blade.
-930，-1862，-921，-1858，-923，-929。
The [Earth Splitting Slash] no longer posed any threat to him, and the [Earth Shaking Trample] couldn't do anything to him. As long as he could focus on avoiding the Darkness Spike, killing this large skeleton was only a matter of time.
After another round of attacks, the Warring Palace Skeleton lost more than 7,000 HP. Ling Chen quickly retreated and recovered his own HP, waiting for the Warring Palace Skeleton's next attack. Just like this, the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP gradually fell to one-fifth, one-sixth … one-tenth.
-1848, -925, - 919,926 …
The [Dark Hell Lock] binding Ling Chen's body had never disappeared, but it didn't affect Ling Chen at all. When Ling Chen's next round of attacks landed, the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP had already fallen below 20,000.
15650/250000！！
Ling Chen slightly gritted his teeth. As long as he could do it three more times, he would be able to kill this large skeleton.
At this moment, an angry roar sounded out from the sky. The Warring Palace Skeleton stopped moving, and raised the giant sword in its hand high up. A dark grey light quickly appeared on the surface of its body.
Ling Chen's retreating footsteps immediately stopped … with its HP below 10%, this large skeleton was finally going to use its ultimate skill – [Exploding Heavens and Shaking Earth].
However, facing its final and strongest attack, Ling Chen only laughed. Not only did he not run away, but he also charged forward. If the Warring Palace Skeleton in its Heaven's End state used this skill, even if Ling Chen had 100 HP, he wouldn't be able to survive it. However, after the Warring Palace Skeleton had devolved to its Celestial state, this ultimate skill was basically useless … it wasn't that its power had decreased, but rather that it needed a full 10 seconds to charge up.
With its current HP, this amount of time was more than enough for Ling Chen to completely wipe out its remaining 20,000 HP, so there was no need for him to run away.
Just as Ling Chen reached the Warring Palace Skeleton's feet and was about to attack, he suddenly felt something and looked up. He saw the semi-spirit girl that had been sitting on the Warring Palace Skeleton's palm suddenly float out and quickly descend. In the blink of an eye, she was only 5 meters away from him.
This girl did not have a physical body and was not afraid of any physical attacks, so even if Ling Chen was a hundred times stronger, he would not be able to do anything to her. The girl's approach caused him to be on guard. He slightly furrowed his eyebrows as he watched the girl's movements. In that instant, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up with a pitch black light. Ling Chen's pupils contracted, and his gaze seemed to be pulled by some sort of force, locking onto the girl's pitch black eyes … at the same time, a message from Xiao Hei entered his consciousness.
[Eye of Eternal Darkness]: Soul Taboo Skill. Using the user's dark soul power to forcefully seal a single target's soul. If successful, the target's soul will be frozen for a long period of time, and will lose all consciousness in a "Soulless" state. The Soulless state will last for at least (10 + X) seconds. (X = User's Level – Target's Level, negative numbers are 0) But if the skill fails, the user will suffer a backlash. The success rate is directly related to the user's and the target's mental strength.
An icy cold feeling spread through Ling Chen's body, causing his body to feel slightly numb. At the same time, an unknown gust of wind seemed to pull something out of his body. This terrifying feeling lasted for a second, and Ling Chen's widened eyes suddenly moved. With a low cry, he shook his head and looked away from the girl's eyes.
The girl's body trembled, and the black light in her eyes quickly dissipated. Her entire body seemed to be frozen in place, and she stopped moving in the air.
She would never have thought that the Soul Shackles that she had placed on this insignificant human would not only fail to take effect, but would instead be broken in just a second. The effects of the Eye of Eternal Darkness had directly returned to her, causing her to lose all consciousness in an instant.
The icy cold feeling on his body completely disappeared, and Ling Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Without any hesitation, he charged towards the Warring Palace Skeleton that was using its final skill, and continued to attack.
-930, -925, -1848, -925, - 919,926, -1850 … …
-93, -93, -185, -93, -92, -93, -185 … …
The Warring Palace Skeleton and Ling Chen's HP fell at the same time. After a few seconds, Ling Chen's HP was immediately replenished, while the Warring Palace Skeleton's HP fell below 10,000, then 5,000 … 3,000 … the semi-spirit girl stood there motionlessly, as if she had been frozen.
"Even the Lunar Scourge was unable to destroy his mind, and was instead conquered by him. A semi-spirit with an incomplete soul dares to attack his mind?" Qi Yue muttered to herself. The Eye of Eternal Darkness was a terrifying darkness type forbidden skill, and there were very few people who could use it. This skill told Qi Yue that her background was definitely not simple … however, she had chosen the wrong target, and the backlash was only natural.
-1848, -925, - 919,926 … …
"You can go and die now!"
Seeing that the Warring Palace Skeleton was about to finish charging its final skill, Ling Chen coldly muttered as he lightly stabbed its foot with Soaring Cloud.
-930。
This light stab had extinguished the last bit of the Warring Palace Skeleton's life force. The skeleton, which was only a second away from completing its charge, froze in place, and the grey light that had reached its limit dissipated without a trace as if it had been swept away by a gust of wind …
"Even … if … I … die … I … definitely … won't … allow … you … to … harm … me …"
The muffled sound paused at this moment. Like a collapsing fortress, the huge white body fell towards the ground along with the sound of the wind. After which, with a "boom" sound, it violently smashed onto the cold hard ground.
"Ding … you have successfully killed the LV20 Celestial grade Boss' Undying Will- Warring Palace Skeleton ', Fame + 2000, SP + 2000."
