Chapter 170: Endless Undead Army

~6 min read 1,185 words

In the central area of Wangling Hai, the ground suddenly split open, and a bottomless huge pit appeared before everyone's eyes.

From the pit, black mist drifted out like demonic tendrils, slowly spreading outward.

This black mist carried a cold, deathly aura, as if foretelling an impending disaster.

Within the black mist, various undead creatures gradually became visible.

There were zombies with shuffling steps, extremely slow movement, rotting flesh all over their bodies, yet possessing great strength.

And there were skeletons composed entirely of white bones, equally slow-moving, with flickering blue firelight in their eyes, wielding dilapidated weapons.

These undead creatures were mostly of Supernatural Grade First Rank to Second Rank, but their numbers were vast, surging in dense crowds, giving a feeling of oppressive despair.

Even more alarming, the black mist concealed some headless knights, clad in tattered armor, wielding massive battle axes or longswords.

Although they lacked heads, their bodies were enormous, standing three meters tall, possessing extraordinary strength, and their Supernatural Grade reached Third Tier.

These headless knights were like commanders of the undead, leading the undead army to launch an attack against the surrounding skeletons.

The skeletons of Wangling Hai were caught off guard; their previously peaceful lives were instantly shattered, forcing them to battle these invaders.

However, the undead creatures in the black mist were simply too numerous, with Third Tier headless knights holding the line, and Second Rank undead surged forward like a tidal wave.

Although the skeletons of Wangling Hai were also numerous, and they even had some Second Rank undead cavalry, their formation was quickly scattered, showing signs of collapse.

Andrew's soul fire, which he had transformed into, hovered in midair, witnessing all of this.

He knew this was the evil god breaking free from the shackles of the death god.

If not stopped, the entire world would fall under the dominion of the undead.

"Xiao Bai!"

Andrew's voice echoed in the air: "We can't let this continue; you must stop the spread of this black mist."

The Bone Dragon was massive, blue soul fire flickering across its body; it slowly turned its head and glanced at Andrew.

"Roar (I understand, Lord Andrew, I will fight with all my strength.)"

Xiao Bai's voice was low and firm; thereafter it flapped its massive bone wings and charged toward the battlefield shrouded in black mist.

Its appearance immediately drew the attention of the headless knights; these Third Tier undead creatures waved their weapons and charged at Xiao Bai.

Their goal was clear: to destroy this powerful bone dragon, after which nothing here could stop the black mist's expansion.

Faced with the encirclement of numerous headless knights, Xiao Bai showed no fear.

The soul fire in its eyes flickered slightly, releasing powerful undead magic; the surrounding air instantly became bitterly cold.

Only the sounds of "Crack! Crack!" rang out continuously, as ordinary First and Second Rank undead creatures had their bodies instantly frozen.

Even the Third Tier headless knights had a layer of frost form on their bodies.

Immediately after.

It swung its massive dragon claw with force, and sharp bone spurs sprang from the ground; with a "Bang!", they pierced the bodies of the Third Tier headless knights.

But this wasn't over; the headless knights weren't so easy to kill.

Taking advantage of the headless knights' bodies being frosted and pierced by bone spurs, making them hard to move, Xiao Bai exhaled a stream of azure dragon breath flame, instantly turning these headless knights to ash.

However, the headless knights were simply too numerous; even if Xiao Bai instantly killed a batch, the rest did not retreat. They swarmed from all directions, continuing to charge at Xiao Bai with an even more frenzied posture.

These headless knights were tall and formidable; their corroded armor still possessed decent defensive power.

Their weapons were immensely lethal; each swing could whip up a gale, leaving a wound on Xiao Bai's bones.

Xiao Bai roared, engaging in a fierce clash with the headless knights.

Even though its undead magic was on cooldown, its dragon claws and sharp teeth still possessed great lethal power.

Each collision and bite could exact a heavy toll from the headless knights.

Yet these undead creatures seemed endless, constantly pouring out of the black mist, imposing tremendous pressure on Xiao Bai.

In repeated clashes, Xiao Bai's wounds kept increasing, and the blue soul fire on its body grew much dimmer.

But this did not make Xiao Bai retreat; instead, it stirred its fighting spirit, making its attacks even more ferocious.

Thus, Xiao Bai and the headless knights became locked in a bitter battle.

During this time, Xiao Bai displayed great magic and strength, continually ramming, biting, and waving its dragon claws and sharp teeth, engaging in a death struggle with the headless knights.

Each ram could send a headless knight flying hundreds of meters, and each bite could rob a headless knight of its combat ability.

More importantly, Xiao Bai would occasionally use undead magic and breath.

Each use could kill a large group of headless knights; magic and breath were Xiao Bai's true killing moves, while ramming and biting were merely basic attacks.

However, no matter how strong Xiao Bai personally was, its strength gradually drained under the endless onslaught of headless knights.

At that moment, Xiao Bai's dragon claw tore apart a headless knight's armor, but before it could retract the claw, that headless knight grabbed it tightly.

Immediately after.

The surrounding headless knights swarmed over, pressing it firmly to the ground, denying it any chance to take flight again, and unleashed all their attack skills upon Xiao Bai's body.

Xiao Bai was already at the end of its tether; after successive fierce battles, it was utterly exhausted, its soul power nearly depleted.

Then, it suffered a heavy blow from the headless knight army; the immense impact almost tore its entire body apart, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Numerous bones were shattered by the headless knights, scattering as fragments; the blue soul fire on its body also dimmed under this violent assault, as if it might extinguish at any moment.

"Roar——!"

Xiao Bai let out a roar, exerted its remaining strength, broke free from the headless knights' grasp, and flew back up into the sky.

However, its injuries were too severe; it ultimately fell from the air and crashed heavily onto the edge of Wangling Hai.

"Damn it!"

Andrew witnessed this scene, and a surge of despair rose in his heart.

He now had no combat strength; if Xiao Bai were defeated, he could not stop the black mist's spread, and the evil god's power covering the world would be only a matter of time.

"Roar——!"

However, at this moment, the now combat‑ineffective Xiao Bai nevertheless let out an excited roar.

After Xiao Bai fell to the ground, in his peripheral vision he saw a person in the distance, riding on the back of a Da Xiong Mao, followed by over a hundred black giant cows and over ten thousand skeleton warriors, silently gazing in the direction of Wangling Hai.
