Chapter 2133 - 2130: Skeleton Army
Chapter 2133: Chapter 2130: Skeleton Army
"Lady Yu, did I pass the first trial?" Ling Feng returned to his human form and shouted to the sky.
"Just barely!" Yu Rujiao’s voice came through: "The power of the Chaos Divine Thunder was weak, but the next trial won’t be so easy to pass, you must be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, Ling Feng felt the ground around him shake, and then pairs of pale skeletal hands stretched out from underground, pressing against the ground, gradually dragging their bodies out from below.
Why are there so many skeletons? Ling Feng was startled, but what surprised him even more was the overwhelmingly powerful aura emanating from these skeletons, some even clad in heavy armor and wielding extraordinary weapons!
"What kind of Skeleton Warriors are these?" Ling Feng murmured to himself.
As tens of thousands of Skeleton Warriors appeared before Ling Feng, green flames flickered in their eyes, subsequently focusing their gaze on Ling Feng.
Suddenly being stared at by so many green eyes gave Ling Feng a creepy feeling in his heart.
"Ling Feng, these warriors are Outsiders who died on the Phantom Demon Continent! Though they are dead, their remains forever stay on this land!" Yu Rujiao’s voice echoed: "Your second trial is to defeat these eight thousand one hundred and ninety-seven Heroic Soul Warriors!"
More than eight thousand? Ling Feng’s heart sank; these weren’t ordinary skeletons. Each skeleton’s original owner had the cultivation of Half-step Immortality when alive, and even in death, their skeletons still retained sixty percent of their original power!
Ling Feng attempted to launch an attack at one of the Skeleton Warriors, but the skeleton easily deflected it with a single slash.
"This is troublesome!" Ling Feng murmured to himself. These Skeleton Warriors seemed difficult to deal with.
A strange rhythm echoed among the Skeleton Warriors, and at the same time, a rattling sound came from them as they suddenly charged towards Ling Feng.
"Such speed!" Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly; the speed of these Skeleton Warriors surprised him.
However, Ling Feng was not panicked; even if these Skeleton Warriors were strong, they were just the remains of former powerhouses. Their preserved strength was nothing compared to his peak. The only headache now was their overwhelming numbers!
"Gravity Field!" Ling Feng growled, attempting to unleash a broad suppression of laws, but he found he couldn’t mobilize any Power of Laws now.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, in this Heavenly Trap Array, I can manipulate any Power of Laws, meaning you cannot draw on external power... of course, you can use the strand of Chaos Divine Thunder inside you; after all, that thread of Chaotic Power is beyond the array’s bindings!"
Ling Feng’s face darkened; Yu Rujiao really gave him a big surprise!
But the Skeleton Warriors came at him like a tide.
"Get away!" Ling Feng shouted, punching at the dozens of Skeleton Warriors rushing at him.
With explosive force from Ling Feng’s fist, he knocked back the dozens of Skeleton Warriors charging him.
But to Ling Feng’s astonishment, despite his full-force punch, he hadn’t shattered his opponents. The skeletons just rolled a few times and charged at him again.
"What kind of monsters are these!" Ling Feng gazed at the massive number of Skeleton Warriors and truly felt a headache. If they were all this resilient, how was he supposed to defeat them, especially now that he couldn’t use any Power of Laws...
With this in mind, Ling Feng swiftly retreated, bending his palm slightly, and a strand of Thunder Power appeared in his hand.
The power of Chaos Divine Thunder absorbed by Ling Feng was minuscule, insufficient for wide-range attacks, but forming a Thunder Sword was not a problem.
With a Thunder Sword in hand, Ling Feng’s momentum soared instantly.
"Just eight thousand Skeleton Warriors? Bring it on!" Ling Feng shouted defiantly, charging into the Skeleton Warriors instead of retreating, and was instantly engulfed by them.
Outside the formation, the seven Demon Kings watched with some trepidation; over eight thousand Skeleton Warriors standing there were a sea of skeletons, their power undeniable. Yet Ling Feng dared to charge in head-on—such courage was beyond their own.
"Dark Night Demon King, do you think Ling Feng could die in the Heavenly Trap Array?" Demon King Kai hesitated and asked, "With those Skeleton Warriors’ strength, it’s not easy for Ling Feng to handle them!"
Yu Rujiao said lazily, "If Ling Feng’s strength is insufficient, then he may indeed die there! Not to mention the skeleton army, even in the first trial, if he hadn’t withstood the Chaos Divine Thunder’s impact, he would have died there too!"
"What?" All Demon Kings were shocked; could Ling Feng really die in there? Was this not just a trial? Could there truly be a life threat?
Seeing the astonished expressions of the Demon Kings, Yu Rujiao chuckled, "What’s so hard to understand? The War God’s Path is dangerously treacherous. If Ling Feng can’t even pass my small test, how could he conquer the War God’s Path?"
The Demon Kings exchanged glances, realizing Yu Rujiao made a compelling point! They always thought the relationship between Ling Feng and Yu Rujiao was extraordinary, but now it seemed... they might have been mistaken.
In the Heavenly Trap Array, Ling Feng was oblivious to happenings outside and wouldn’t object to Yu Rujiao’s actions even if he did know!
Battle requires experiencing life-and-death encounters to truly improve strength; battles without the threat of death can only be called games!
Holding the Thunder Sword, Ling Feng charged like a tiger descending from a mountain, his blade rising and falling, Sword Qi omnipresent. Numerous Skeleton Warriors were shattered into fragments by his Sword Qi before they could even get close!
However, this didn’t last long, as Ling Feng found the Skeleton Warriors increasingly difficult, their strength growing stronger.
Skeleton Warriors that could originally withstand only one strike from Ling Feng now held their ground for dozens of rounds without faltering. Moreover, such Skeleton Warriors were becoming more numerous, trapping Ling Feng in a quagmire.
"This isn’t right; how can there be such a great disparity in these Skeleton Warriors’ strengths?" After deflecting another sneak attack, Ling Feng realized something must be wrong here.
