Chapter 1615

"Jie jie jie jie jie…" Yet, those undead creatures only paused for a moment before continuing their charge toward Heimu City.

Boom boom boom…

In the blink of an eye, they crossed dozens of zhang, smashing through countless houses and buildings.

Yet Heimu City remained utterly unharmed.

Clearly, these skeletons were incapable of destroying Heimu City—at most, they could damage a few structures.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why are these skeletons immune to arrows?!"

"Bad! These skeletons have breached the city! Everyone, grab your weapons and hold them off!"

"Kill!"

The Heimu City guard force cried out in shock and fury.

"Hmph!"

"A mere bunch of skeletons dare to provoke? You're asking for death!"

Yet the next instant, a cold snort suddenly echoed.

Hum~~~

A thick violet light flared, illuminating the entire Heimu City as bright as day.

A brilliant, blinding sword beam erupted from Xiao Ye's hand, slicing through the void.

Splash!

The skeletons rushing into Heimu City were instantly severed at the waist.

A few skeletons with severed limbs crashed against Heimu City's walls.

"This…"

Witnessing this terrifying scene, both the Heimu City guard force and the undead creatures stared wide-eyed in shock at Xiao Ye.

"Ding, host used skill—Decapitation!"

"Ding, skill used successfully. Skeleton skull suffered fatal trauma, entered critical death state, temporarily lost combat capability."

The system's notification chimed abruptly.

"Such a powerful skill—it can effortlessly annihilate first-rank undead creatures." Xiao Ye marveled inwardly.

The Decapitation skill was a unique ability of the Sword Immortal, and once unleashed, it was truly earth-shattering.

Moreover, this skill could be stacked.

"Roar!"

The undead creature, now reduced to half its body, roared as it scrambled up, its eyes glowing crimson as it lunged straight at Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, if you want to die, I'll oblige you." Xiao Ye sneered.

Boom!

Vast, overwhelming Saint Body power surged wildly, causing the undead creature to explode into fragments.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Xiao Ye's form darted unpredictably; wherever he passed, the undead creatures crumbled into scattered piles of bones.

In just a few breaths, five or six hundred skeletons of the bone legion were slaughtered to the last, their remains left piled outside the city.

Swish!

Xiao Ye shot forward again, charging into the undead horde, sweeping through them with unstoppable force.

In mere moments, another ten thousand undead creatures were annihilated.

"Ding, congratulations, host has slain a Two-Star Skeleton, gained 1000 points."

"Ding, congratulations, host gained 100 points."

…

At this moment, the system's notifications kept ringing out continuously.

"Hm?" Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, for he noticed among the undead creatures, one Two-Star Skeleton still lived.

"Boy, you're lucky—you've encountered a Two-Star Skeleton King. Its points should be double those of a One-Star Skeleton." The system spoke coldly.

"What? A Two-Star Skeleton King?" Xiao Ye trembled at the news.

A Two-Star Skeleton was equivalent to a Human Realm's ninth-layer cultivator.

This was unimaginable!

You should know that in a barren frontier region like Dongyang Commandery, the birth of a two-star Skeleton King is absolutely astonishing.

Boom!

At that moment, a towering aura of demonic energy surged from afar, terrifying malevolence spreading in all directions, as if ready to obliterate everything, suffocating all who felt it.

A colossal Skeleton King strode forward with heavy steps, walking through the air.

Its entire body gleamed dark gold, bones translucent as jade, forged like precious gems, radiating chilling cold that sent shivers down the spine.

This was a true sovereign—even standing still, it exuded a mountainous, boundless presence, as if a monarch had descended from heaven.

"This… this is a Skeleton King?"

"We're finished! Heimu City has angered such a terrifying monster—we're doomed!"

…

Seeing this colossal Skeleton King, the Heimu City guards stationed at the gate trembled violently, their faces filled with despair.

Though all of them were at the ninth layer of Postnatal Realm, they had zero chance against a true sovereign.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the massive Skeleton King had already closed in on the crowd, its claws suddenly shooting out, tearing through the air as it slashed viciously at them.

Whoooosh!

At the same time, a gust of yin wind swept in, sending chills through every bone in their bodies.

This yin wind carried wisps of poison—any ordinary person it touched would drop dead on the spot.

"Not good, dodge!"

The Blackwood City guards' faces changed drastically as they scattered in all directions.

Boom!

And that king-class skeleton simply opened its mouth and inhaled; the yin wind instantly vanished. Then it swung a claw and smashed the head of the weakest martial artist, who died a gruesome death on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton King had slaughtered two-thirds of the guards.

Boom boom boom~~~

At the same time, three undead creatures suddenly sprang up beside Ximen Wudi, all ferociously vicious, charging at him in unison.

"Get lost!"

Ximen Wudi roared. The longsword in his hand blazed with dazzling light, and with one slash he cleaved the three undead creatures—shattering them into powder.

This sight left the surrounding martial artists dumbfounded.

They had all heard of Ximen Wudi's might.

Especially within Blackwood City, Ximen Wudi had defeated Wu'an City's number-one genius Qin Mu with raw physical strength, and was regarded as the strongest figure among Wu'an City's younger generation.

But now?

Ximen Wudi had actually crushed three of Wu'an City's number-one geniuses in a row, leaving everyone utterly bewildered.

"This guy's strength is terrifying—he's probably already reached the Postnatal Limit martial artist realm, maybe even grasped a Concept." Ximen Wudi muttered to himself.

He paid no heed to the guards' shock. He sprang up from the city's ruins and leapt toward another direction, preparing to hunt down the second Skeleton King.

Whoosh!

But just then, an arrow shot from Chengmenkou, its speed faster than lightning, its momentum fierce and chilling.

Puchi!

Ximen Wudi had just dodged that arrow when his chest was pierced through, blood gushing out, nearly sending him tumbling to the ground.

"Heh heh, Brother Xiao, you are indeed formidable, but you're still new here—let young master help you deal with it."

A voice dripping with wicked laughter rang out from behind Ximen Wudi.
