Mo Xue had wanted to strike while the undead before her was getting stronger, perhaps to disrupt its momentum of growing stronger.
However, just as Mo Xue was about to strike, a strong sense of crisis directly flooded her heart, causing her movements to pause.
In the end, Mo Xue seemed to see the undead glance at her, a look filled with endless mockery.
It was just an undead, how could it have emotions? Mo Xue frowned slightly, doubting if she had seen wrong.
Just as Mo Xue was doubting, the undead's roar ended, and it turned to look at Mo Xue.
This look made Mo Xue realize she hadn't seen wrong, because the eyes of the undead before her had regained their luster, no longer the dead gray they had been before.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that old guy is dead." The undead looked at its own hands and muttered, a smile appearing on its face.
"And that final curse actually benefited me." The undead felt the power surging within its body, couldn't help but clench its fists, and a look of intoxication appeared on its face.
"This is power!" The undead was certain that as long as it left the battlefield and found a place with slightly heavier death energy, it wouldn't be long before it could step into LV6 and reach the Domain of God.
All of this was thanks to that Necromancer; he had worked in vain for its benefit.
"Hmm, the original name of this body seems to be Feng Yi? But it doesn't matter, and..."
The undead looked at its flesh, a glint flashing in its eyes, and then, in an instant, its whole body suddenly burst apart, blood mist shrouding its surroundings.
"What!?" Mo Xue widened her eyes. It had actually detonated its own flesh! What on earth was it trying to do?
"This body is too weak, weak to the point of being an eyesore!" The undead said, its body revealed once again, but at this moment, it was nothing more than a skeleton.
However, every one of its bones was crystal clear, as if they were pieces of beautiful jade.
The undead was very clear that after detonating its body, it would lose the player's ability to level up, but it didn't matter. Leveling up?
No matter how much one could level up, it was impossible to reach LV6. It was about to reach LV6, so the leveling ability was simply not needed.
"From now on, my name shall be Bone King!" The undead—no, Bone King—stood there and issued its declaration. Its voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the heart of everyone.
To be honest, Bone King was no longer interested in this war, but Bone King looked at Mo Xue, and the fire in its eyes suddenly brightened.
It remembered very clearly the situation of this woman fighting against it before it had consciousness, so it had to finish her off before leaving.
This feeling was indeed very unpleasant. Clearly, in terms of strength and everything else, Bone King was certain it was much stronger than the woman before it, yet it couldn't defeat her and had instead been held back by her for so long.
Therefore, the fire in Bone King's eyes danced at this moment.
For no reason, Mo Xue felt a tightening in her heart, and immediately after, she sensed something wrong with the ground; it seemed like something was about to emerge.
This dangerous feeling was not wrong, so in an instant, Mo Xue left that position. When she left, a bone spur suddenly emerged from her original position.
Mo Xue gasped. If she hadn't left... As expected, this guy. Mo Xue gripped the hilt of her sword tightly. Could she still hold it off?
It was so annoying.
Bone King looked at Mo Xue. Such intuition was basically cheating!
However, even with such intuition, in the face of an absolute difference in strength, it was useless!
In an instant, Bone King disappeared from where it was. When it appeared again, it was already in front of Mo Xue. Under Mo Xue's wide-eyed gaze, a bone claw struck down with a biting, cold light.
In an instant, Bone King's bone claw passed through Mo Xue's chest, but there was no substance—it was actually just an illusion.
However, Bone King had already anticipated this situation and was somewhat disdainful of it.
"Do you think I'm still the same as before?"
Following this statement, a bone spur appeared on Bone King's other bone claw, and it turned and swung.
"Bang!!"
This swing collided head-on with Mo Xue's sword.
"Heh!" The fire in Bone King's eyes jumped again, and one leg whipped against Mo Xue's body like a lash.
This time, all the sensation was there; it was not an illusion.
"Ugh!" The massive force sent Mo Xue flying. After soaring a great distance, she finally suppressed the pain and regained control of her body, coming to a halt.
Her face was pale, and cold sweat dripped incessantly from her forehead. Although she could fight against LV5s, it didn't mean her body possessed the durability to withstand a LV5's strike.
In terms of physical constitution, Mo Xue was not much better than other LV4s; she was still at the LV4 level.
Thus, even a casual strike from the Bone King caused immense damage to Mo Xue.
However, before Mo Xue could react, the Bone King appeared before her once again. This time, even if she intended to defend, she wouldn't be able to, right? She could only barely raise the sword in her hand to offer a slight obstruction.
The defeat was like a mountain collapsing; once one falls into a disadvantage from a single strike, it's impossible to recover, especially in a battle like this.
The Bone King understood perfectly that such geniuses could not be judged by common logic, nor could they be given any room to breathe. If given even a moment, she might just deliver a massive surprise.
Therefore, the moment Mo Xue was sent flying, the Bone King followed her immediately, giving Mo Xue no time to catch her breath.
"Is it over like this?" Mo Xue could feel the sound of the wind being torn apart behind her. In this place, only one person had the speed to achieve such a feat: the Bone King.
He really wasn't giving her the slightest chance to resist. Even if he did, she wouldn't have many options anyway; what she excelled in was the Phantasmal Sword Path, which didn't possess great destructive power.
"Die!" The Bone King had no intention of showing mercy as the bone spurs in his hand thrust toward Mo Xue.
In this critical moment, Li Chen suddenly emerged, lunged toward Mo Xue, and turned his back.
The bone spurs pierced down along Li Chen's body.
Li Chen felt very fortunate now—fortunate that he had used the Blood Flame Art. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have made it in time, would he?
"Chen!" Mo Xue's eyes widened. Looking at Li Chen, who held her in his arms, she was somewhat dazed. What happened? Why, in the blink of an eye—?
Blood couldn't help but flow from the corner of Li Chen's mouth, but he still wore a smile.
"As expected... even if you treat me like a tool, I don't want—I really don't want to see you get hurt..."
"You fool, what are you talking about!?" Mo Xue's eyes blurred as she murmured upon hearing Li Chen's words.
"Mmph!"
Mo Xue's eyes widened as she looked at the face right before her. Looking into his eyes, they seemed to say: 'I'm taking your first kiss.' Feeling their lips pressed together, a hint of freshness passed from his mouth—it was the taste of blood.
Most importantly, Mo Xue felt it. That sensation caused her beautiful eyes to widen further.
The other party's heart was completely open to her!
