Chapter 566 (2/2)

Lightning Bolt Fist!

A punch with the prowess of a War Emperor was easily unleashed. This was an improvement brought by Xiang Shaoyun's advancement into the eighth stage. Yet when the lightning fist blasted forth, it failed to destroy the skeletons. Rather, a large number of skeletons arrived near him after bracing the attack.

Although Xiang Shaoyun reacted quickly, there were too many skeletons, and he was unable to evade all the attacks, resulting in his shoulder and back being hit. The two hits were as powerful as the attacks of an Emperor, instantly throwing him into the midst of numerous skeletons, putting him in an even worse situation.

The skeletons started beating him up. Even a bone spike stabbed toward his face. In his fear of being disfigured, he quickly dodged the stab. All four of his limbs were grabbed, and spike after spike were stabbed into his four limbs. The spikes were at a level comparable to Sovereign-grade weapons, and not even the Six Goldplate Manual could defend against them.

”AHHH!”

When the first spike stabbed into Xiang Shaoyun's thigh, he wailed in pain. Under such provocation, he erupted with all his strength, jolting the skeletons around him away. Fortunately, these skeletons weren't living beings and lacked the flexibility of someone living. They also hadn't confined him with energy attacks. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break free from them at all.

”Scram, all of you!” Xiang Shaoyun was completely infuriated. He swung his fists around repeatedly, sending the skeletons flying everywhere.

But since the skeletons were not living beings, they weren't afraid of his punches. And since Xiang Shaoyun wasn't strong enough to completely destroy them, they continued swarming him unendingly. To make things worse, when he wanted to fly, he found that he couldn't. It was as if some sort of power had restricted the spiritual energy of this area, making it impossible to fly.

”The h.e.l.l? Is this even necessary? Are they really trying to make me die here?” Xiang Shaoyun cursed.

Unfortunately, nothing would change just because of his curses. The only thing he could do was to keep blasting the skeletons away, not allowing them to get near him. At the same time, he continued observing his surroundings as he gradually retreated toward a safe spot while attacking.

However, there were too many skeletons around that it wouldn't be an easy feat to escape their encirclement. Just as he was about to be completely swarmed once more, he erupted with power and unfurled a pair of wings from his back. As he flapped the wings, he soared into the sky.

”Good thing I have the White Tiger Wings. Otherwise, I would be wasted to death by the never ending skeletons,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he patted his chest in relief.

Ever since he had become a King, Xiang Shaoyun had completely stopped using the White Tiger Wings to fly. Now that he was using this ability once more, he found that the wings had become even more solid, slender, and long. The speed at which he could move the wings had also increased considerably. Just as he cheerily looked for a safe spot to land, devilish clouds suddenly appeared midair and enveloped him.

”Keke, what a surprise. I can finally feast on delicious fresh blood again!” a shrill voice rang out.
