Chapter 1198: Target: Copper Rock Town (9)

The giant skeleton's long tusks had already gathered a golden hue.

"Roar—!!"

It had no muscles, no expression, yet it seemed to be smiling.

Smiling at Qi Yue's overreach.

Smiling that Qi Yue had actually turned around.

This was fucking suicide.

Watch me ram you to death, you whore.

The 16th Moon Blade came slashing.

Boom!

The skull still shattered it on impact.

Crack.

Yet a faint, subtle sound unexpectedly rang out.

The giant skeleton felt something off about its forehead.

Before it could investigate, the 17th Moon Blade arrived.

Boom!

Crack!

The Moon Blade shattered, but a distinct, crisp sound rang out.

Huh?

The 18th and 19th Moon Blades struck simultaneously.

Boom boom!

Crack!

The giant skeleton's skull was violently torn apart.

Right after came the 20th Moon Blade.

This strike had already stacked Qi Yue's exclusive tearing talent far too many times.

Combined with the massive attack bonus of the twin Phoenix Cry Blades, even if that giant skeleton's skull were truly steel, it could no longer endure.

Boom-crack!

The giant skeleton's entire skull split in two.

Completely cleaved apart!

Right after, the 21st Moon Blade came slashing and split it clean in two.

The giant skeleton's massive bone frame collapsed with a rumbling roar, sending bone dust and ash billowing across the ground.

In the end it became a huge pile of bones.

But the remaining 9 Moon Blades surged in, smashing even that bone pile to pieces, then howling on to hack apart dozens more skeletons along their path.

At this moment, a human clad in steel armor appeared nearby.

Staring blankly at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue was also a little surprised.

Because she saw that at the instant the giant skeleton collapsed, a strange light had projected to the side.

And then that person had appeared.

By all reason, he should have been the giant skeleton's pilot.

But strangely, how was he still wearing armor?

When Zhao Chi piloted Qi Yue and the others, armor simply couldn't get in; one could only enter bare-bodied.

Still, Qi Yue could basically confirm that he was the pilot.

"Are you a Lord or a Hero?" Qi Yue asked on Zhao Chi's behalf.

But that man simply refused to answer.

He shot Qi Yue a vicious glare: "Stinking whore, you actually wrecked my giant… watch me toy you all to death!"

Finished speaking, he once again became a streak of strange light and charged into the skeleton horde.

Qi Yue looked up, but couldn't tell which skeleton that man had actually burrowed into.

Because her view was blocked by firelight.

The entire battlefield was ablaze.

And… high-pitched laughter.

"Come on! Come on, hahahaha!"

Zhuang Ya's face was beet red, excited beyond words.

Her enormous palms spewed coarse and heavy flames, making the skeletons around her crackle and pop as they burned.

At this point the Tier-1 and Tier-2 skeletons were no longer skeletons, just bones waiting for cremation.

And the Tier-3 skeletons' leather armor was more like fuel, burning fiercely.

"That's right, this way, free cremation, hahahaha."

The flames from her hands were extremely thick, fully deserving the name fire pillars.

This Sea of Fire technique's damage value was 50 points per second.

With Zhuang Ya's 50-point spiritual pressure boost, it could reach 75 damage per second.

And it was area-of-effect.

Further boosted by the Enlargement Art, these flames' power directly exceeded 300 points, pressing hard against the 400-point threshold, becoming true hellfire.

Ordinary 1st to 2nd-tier skeletons would die almost on contact.

Burned straight to ash.

3rd-tier skeleton wanderers had leather armor that could hold for a moment, but they too couldn't escape the flames' power.

Quickly reduced to ash.

Only the 4th-tier skeleton bloodsuckers could hold out for a while.

They had iron armor, and their bodies weren't afraid of heat.

In the flames, all the 4th-tier skeletons turned into flame skeletons, charging at Zhuang Ya wreathed in fire.

However, Zhuang Ya's agility was extremely high.

These skeleton bloodsuckers couldn't touch her at all before turning into molten iron and bone slag.

Soon, an entire circle around Zhuang Ya was completely free of skeletons.

Only black scorched earth, and white ash.

And… Zhuang Ya's bright, clear laughter.
