If Lu Xiaotian hadn't missed by a bit, that blow would have been enough to kill the black-robed skeleton.
Even so, the black-robed skeleton was now extremely weak after being injured again and again. Seeing that Lu Xiaotian and the others had suppressed the Extermination Corpse, the black-robed skeleton left silently and came here alone. At this time, its injuries were acting up and its body was getting weaker.
The wide black robe fluttered in the wind. The black-robed skeleton hugged its knees and curled up. Its chin rested on its knees as it endured the pain in its body. However, it did not make a sound. Its empty eye sockets stared blankly at the swamp. There seemed to be some green grass on the swamp that occasionally had one or two shallow swamps. There was nothing to see. It was even far from the green grass on the shore and the scattered purple and yellow flowers.
But for the black-robed skeleton, there seemed to be something on the swamp that was not on the shore.
Suddenly, a long and narrow shadow was reflected on the ground and landed beside the black-robed skeleton.
The black-robed skeleton reached out to touch the long and narrow shadow on the ground. But halfway through, the black-robed skeleton's courage seemed to have completely disappeared and it suddenly retracted its hand as if it had been electrocuted.
Lu Xiaotian looked at the thin shoulders under the loose black robe and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Junior Sister Su, is that you?"
The black-robed skeleton's body stiffened, but it did not turn its head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you before. Are your injuries serious?" Lu Xiaotian let out a long sigh. He thought of the bone arrow message he had suddenly received before entering the bloody forbidden area. At that time, he was a little surprised. Who would use this method to inform him?
In this world, there was no such thing as love or hatred for no reason. People who had nothing to do with him would not care about his life or death. Later, because of the battle between the Azure Sky Ghost King and the Extermination Corpse, the restrictions of the bloody forbidden area were accidentally opened, causing a group of people to be teleported in. Lu Xiaotian did not know why, but he suddenly attacked the black-robed skeleton beside him.
However, the black-robed skeleton did not guard against him at all. Lu Xiaotian immediately became suspicious. This was not how an enemy should behave, especially when this enemy's strength was not ordinary. He was much stronger than most Jin Dan late stage cultivators.
When they arrived at the swamp, Blue Sky Ghost King whipped the black-robed skeleton. This confirmed Lu Xiaotian's suspicion that this person was the one who had sent him the bone arrow. However, Lu Xiaotian still didn't know why the other party wanted to inform him. What did it have to do with him? If it had anything to do with ghosts, Lu Xiaotian had met Ge Changting and the other two ghost cultivators when he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage. It was definitely not the black-robed skeleton in front of him.
However, when the black-robed skeleton struggled under the whip of the Azure Sky Ghost King, it revealed a small green bangle on his wrist. Lu Xiaotian's heart throbbed, and he roughly understood.
The black-robed skeleton was injured repeatedly. When it came down from the tree trunk, its speed was not fast. In fact, Lu Xiaotian had already followed the black-robed skeleton to the cave where it had fought with the Black-scaled Winged Wind Serpent. That place had been reduced to ruins, and it was covered with all kinds of spiritual herbs and other plants.
They went to the place where the black-robed skeleton had fought with the Golden Chanism disciple, Dugu Han. The small green bangle on the black-robed skeleton's wrist was the magic weapon used to kill the short-haired female cultivator with Dugu Han. At that time, Su Qing's magic weapon had been damaged in the fight with Dugu Han's Earth-shattering Blade. He had let Su Qing take the two magic weapons left behind by the short-haired female cultivator.
Then, he came to this swamp in front of him. Back then, he had joined forces with Su Qing, Oh Yeon, and Yuan Hao to step into the swamp to retrieve the Purple Radish Ginseng.
With so many factors combined, if Lu Xiaotian still could not guess who the black-robed skeleton in front of him was, he would not have survived until now.
Lu Xiaotian had followed Su Qing all the way here. He watched as Su Qing longingly looked at the place where she had been with him and Oh Yeon in the past. In the end, she sat by the swamp in a daze, her thin shoulders trembling under the torment of pain. She had helped him secretly and was not guarded against him at all. However, she did not dare to acknowledge him. Even Lu Xiaotian, who had always had a firm temperament and was rarely moved by external things, was suddenly touched in the softest part of his heart.
The black-robed skeleton hugged his head with both hands and bent over his legs. His shoulders trembled violently, as if he was crying. However, the black-robed skeleton was now just a pink skeleton. There were no tears to speak of. The black-robed skeleton's heart was cold. He got up and walked away from Lu Xiaotian.
Seeing that Su Qing was still suppressing her cries, Lu Xiaotian felt sorry for this stubborn woman. When they first met, Su Qing was still a young and naive girl. She was pampered by Su Hongtao, the Patriarch of Jin Dan in the Divine Cloud Palace. Compared to Lu Xiaotian and other guys who were born as Individual Cultivators, she was of noble birth. Her face was charming and enchanting, and her talent for cultivation was also extraordinary. Such a person was destined to be different from Lu Xiaotian. There were countless people who wanted to pursue Su Qing but felt ashamed of themselves.
Later, after entering the Forbidden Blood-red Lands and experiencing many things, Su Qing was considered to have matured a little. However, for ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them, Su Qing still had a great advantage with her grandfather, Jin Dan, Su Hongchou.
However, in the years after Lu Xiaotian left, although Su Qing had successfully formed her Aurous Core, she had encountered a great change. Her grandfather, Su Hongtao, who she had always regarded as her pillar of support, had died in the hands of others. Even she had fallen and become a white skeleton wearing a black robe. She had become a member of the Ghost Clan and had to deal with those skeleton ghosts all day long.
She was even chosen as one of the six Ghost Furnaces by the Azure Sky Ghost King. Sooner or later, she would be used as a furnace by the Azure Sky Ghost King and refined to death.
At this time, Su Qing was like a walking corpse. She did not know why she was alive. Until she saw Lu Xiaotian again, whom she had not seen for more than a hundred years. That familiar head of silver hair, that indifferent and calm gaze. The Brother Lu who had always stood up for her when she was in danger and saved her from danger, appeared in front of her again when she was at her most desperate and almost numb.
However, Su Qing sadly found that she did not dare to acknowledge him. She did not dare to let Lu Xiaotian see her like this. She no longer had the beautiful face of the past. What was left was only a hideous and terrifying skeleton. When Lu Xiaotian injured her, Su Qing's face was ashen. Perhaps the furthest distance in the world was not the ends of the earth, but the fact that they were already strangers when they met on the opposite side. However, Su Qing did not have the slightest bit of hatred in her heart for Lu Xiaotian injuring her.
The Azure Sky Ghost King, who was so powerful that he almost suffocated her, and the Extermination Corpse Old Monster, who was only slightly weaker than the Azure Sky Ghost King, died one after another. Lu Xiaotian was as mysterious as ever. He had the last laugh and could often do things that seemed unimaginable. He overturned the mountain that was pressing on her head. However, Su Qing did not dare to let Brother Lu in front of her recognize her. At this time, all her hopes had turned into bubbles, like the moon in the water. Brother Lu was still the Brother Lu of the past, but she could no longer go back to the past.
