Chapter 267

The sword in Jiang Li's hand was only half a meter away from the Five Elements Crystal.

In less than half a breath, the icy cold qi of the Five Elements Skeleton King completely receded.

Jiang Li was greatly shocked in his heart; his most powerful reliance, the freezing method, could freeze the Jin Gang Five Elements Skeleton King for less than half a second.

One centimeter.

The sword tip was only one centimeter from the Five Elements Crystal.

But the Jin Gang Skeleton King still wore a smile on his face.

"Puchi!" came a sound.

The smile on the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King's face froze, and the flame of life within his skull instantly vanished.

"Bang!" With a sound, the entire skeleton frame of the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King, known for its eternal defense, scattered across the ground.

Just as Jiang Li was about to withdraw, he saw a shimmering crystal on the ground; without thinking, he directly collected it and stored it in his item slot.

The soul flames within the skulls of all the Eternal Skeleton Guards and Skeleton Soldiers trembled, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Jiang Li dared not delay for even a moment.

"Heaven"

"Image"

"Descend"

"Arrive"

Jiang Li waved the Ice Wheel in his hand and fully activated the large-scale domain freezing skill; in an instant, the entire Tenth Layer Eternal Dungeon was filled with cold qi.

In that instant, the cold qi swept over everything, covering some in ice, and even Xiao Ning'er was frozen within it.

Jiang Li was overjoyed in his heart.

His ordinary attacks carried a freezing effect because of the passive skill of the Level 10 Unlocked Ice Wheel.

Previously, when he was in the Fourth Layer Reincarnation Dungeon, he had also used large-scale freezing skills, but they had not displayed this kind of freezing effect.

Jiang Li guessed that the true effect of the Ice Soul was this—no matter how powerful one was, once a large-scale freezing skill was cast, a freezing effect lasting less than half a second would occur.

It ignored level restrictions.

Although it was very brief.

But for Jiang Li, it was enough.

"Shadow Escape!"

He turned into a shadow and directly disappeared before the many skeletons; when he reappeared, he was before Xiao Ning'er, and disregarding everything else, he picked her up and tried to leave.

However, just at that moment, the Eternal Skeleton Guard holding Xiao Ning'er thawed from the ice.

"Human, where are you going!"

【Monster: Skeleton Guard】

【HP: 20 million】

【Attack: 10 million】

【Skills: Bloodthirsty, Symbiosis, Frenzy, Gale.】

Facing a Skeleton Guard with such stats, Jiang Li, using normal means at his current state, absolutely could not win a direct clash.

Xiao Ning'er also woke up from the ice.

"Jiang Li, run quickly!"

Seeing the charging Eternal Skeleton Guard, he held the great sword in his hand and slashed down from the sky.

That great iron sword carried sword qi light a hundred meters long; before the sword even arrived, the oppressive pressure made Jiang Li's skin crack.

However, Jiang Li stood still like a fool, staring fixedly, his eyes focused, motionless in place.

"Don't!"

Xiao Ning'er shouted loudly.

"I saw it!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Li saw it.

He saw the death point on the forehead of the Eternal Skeleton Guard.

Without the slightest hesitation, he struck upward with the Ice Wheel.

"Bang!"

This strike was accurate and without error, directly smashing the head of the Eternal Skeleton Guard with a "bang."

Even Xiao Ning'er was shocked; all the Skeleton Guards and Skeleton Soldiers who were about to charge paused their steps, hesitated for a moment, and then Jiang Li carried Xiao Ning'er and escaped into the darkness.

In the next moment, the two left the Tenth Layer Eternal Dungeon.

From the Ninth Layer Mythical to Shi Shi, then to Diamond, and finally to the Golden Dungeon frozen into a dead zone, the two walked out from the shadows.

"Alright, it's over, nothing is wrong!"

"Why did you appear in the Tenth Layer Eternal Dungeon?"

Jiang Li asked.

Xiao Ning'er's beautiful face was pale; she had not yet recovered from the danger just now.

Jiang Li helplessly had to repeat the question, and only then did Xiao Ning'er come to her senses.

"Ah—like this, you went to the Eternal Dungeon, and everyone knew; just now, seeing you motionless in the Eternal Dungeon, so the three of us were worried about you, afraid you were trapped in the Eternal Dungeon, so the three of us temporarily decided that I, the one with the best Shadow Escape Technique, would go and bring you out from the Tenth Layer Eternal Dungeon."

"But—"

"But—I didn't expect that you actually..."

"Actually—"

She spoke somewhat stutteringly, still unable to believe that what she had just seen was real.

"Jiang Li, did you really slay the Jin Gang Five Elements Skeleton King? And did you bring me from the tenth floor all the way here?"

Jiang Li nodded, his heart somewhat moved.

He had not expected that in such a moment of crisis, someone would have him in their thoughts; this counted as risking death to save him.

Just as Xiao Ning'er was about to ask further, a notification announcement went out to the entire world declaring that Jiang Li had slain the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King.
