Why are these skeletons fearless of arrows?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good, this group of skeletons has already attacked into the city. Everyone, hurry and take your weapons to resist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Wood City guard team shouted in shock and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mere group of skeletons dares to act recklessly; you are truly courting death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment, a cold snort suddenly came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Hum~~~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It saw a rich purple light flash, illuminating the entire Black Wood City as if it were broad daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant, piercing sword light burst forth from Xiao Ye’s hand, tearing through the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those skeletons rushing into Black Wood City were instantly cut in half at the waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And two or three of the skeletons whose legs and feet were cut off crashed onto the city wall of Black Wood City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such a horrifying scene, whether it was the Black Wood City guard team or those undead creatures, all stared with wide eyes, looking at Xiao Ye in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, host used skill—Decapitation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, skill used successfully, skeleton skull suffered fatal trauma, entered a near-death state, temporarily lost combat ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system’s prompt sound rang out suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a powerful skill, it can actually easily annihilate first-stage undead creatures.” Xiao Ye exclaimed in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Decapitation skill was the exclusive skill of a Sword Immortal. Once unleashed, it could be called heaven-defying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this skill could be stacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That undead creature with only half its body left roared and crawled up, its eyes glowing with blood-red light, and it lunged directly toward Xiao Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, if you want to die, I will fulfill your wish.” Xiao Ye snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immensely powerful Saint Body strength swept out crazily, causing this undead creature to directly explode into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish! Swish! Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ye’s figure was elusive, and wherever he passed, those undead creatures all turned into a pile of bones and fell apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, a full five or six hundred skeleton legions were slaughtered, leaving corpses scattered outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ye’s figure flew past, charging toward that group of undead creatures again, sweeping across everything in his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, nearly ten thousand more undead creatures were annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a Two-Star Skeleton, obtaining 1,000 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the system prompt sounds rang out continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh?” Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, because he saw that among this group of undead creatures, there was actually a Two-Star Skeleton still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, your luck is not bad, you actually encountered a Two-Star Skeleton King. Its points should be double that of a One-Star Skeleton.” The system said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Two-Star Skeleton King?” Xiao Ye, hearing this, trembled all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Two-Star Skeleton was equivalent to a human’s Innate Ninth-Layer Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply unimaginable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know, in a barren border land like Dongyang County, to actually be able to give birth to a Two-Star Skeleton King, this was too shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom rumble!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at this moment, in the distance, monstrous demonic energy suddenly rose, terrifying baleful energy permeated in all directions, as if it were going to annihilate everything, making one feel suffocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It saw a giant Skeleton King, moving with heavy footsteps, stepping through the air and arriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dark gold all over, its bones crystal clear, as if cast from precious jade, emitting a cold intent that made people shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a true king. Even standing there, it gave people a feeling as vast as a mountain, as if a monarch had descended to the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is a Skeleton King?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re done for. Our Black Wood City has actually provoked such a terrifying monster. This time we are definitely finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this giant Skeleton King, the Black Wood City guards who were originally guarding the city gate were all trembling with fear, their faces revealing despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they all possessed the Postnatal Ninth-Layer realm, facing a true king, they had absolutely no chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, that giant Skeleton King had already approached the crowd. It suddenly extended its claw, tearing through the air, and grabbed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Woo, woo, woo!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a gust of cold wind struck, making one’s whole body feel cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cold wind carried a trace of toxin; any ordinary person who came into contact with it would die immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not good, hurry and dodge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Wood City guards’ expressions changed drastically, and they scattered and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that King Skeleton opened its mouth and inhaled, and the cold wind instantly dissipated. Afterward, it swung a claw, crushing the head of the weakest martial artist, who died miserably on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, that Skeleton King had slaughtered two-thirds of the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom, boom, boom~~~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, three undead creatures suddenly appeared beside Ximen Wudi, all of them extremely fierce, charging toward him in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi roared, the long sword in his hand blooming with dazzling brilliance, slashing at the three undead creatures with one sword, actually splitting those three undead creatures into powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left the surrounding martial artists dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all heard of Ximen Wudi’s prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially inside Black Wood City, Ximen Wudi defeated the number one genius of Wu’an City, Qin Mu, with his physical strength, and was even regarded as the strongest person among the young generation of Wu’an City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi actually defeated three number one geniuses of Wu’an City in succession, which left everyone completely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy’s strength is terrifying. I reckon he has already reached the Postnatal limit martial artist, or perhaps he has even comprehended profound meanings.” Ximen Wudi muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not pay attention to the shock of those guards, leaping from the ruins of the city and heading toward another direction, preparing to hunt the second Skeleton King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shoo!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just at this moment, a sharp arrow shot out from the city gate, its speed faster than lightning, its momentum fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Puchi!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi had just dodged that sharp arrow when his chest was pierced, blood gushing out, and he nearly fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, Brother Xiao, you are indeed powerful, but you are a newcomer after all. Let this young master help you solve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice filled with an evil smile rang out from behind Ximen Wudi. \u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z","2026-06-18T03:52:24.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7bea8119c3c28e05b3db6ca37dfb58c5f1ced4d3d3fbbd754b7205e478568b39","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1248","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1246",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
