Chapter 255: Bone Master Skeleton Commander

Chapter 255: Bone Master Skeleton Commander

Lingnan, Demon Cavern, Devil's Plunge Valley.

As the black panther's claw scratched, Li Wu's three underlings simultaneously advanced, and three streams of power surged forth from within Li Wu.

The sudden burst of power directly enhanced Li Wu's strength, giving him a breakthrough.

However, Li Wu had no time to savor the feeling of this breakthrough.

His three underlings were still in the midst of their evolution, and with no one coming to his rescue, Li Wu had to save himself.

Gritting his teeth against the pain in his back, a flash of electricity surged through his body as he charged up and dodged the black panther's second attack.

While dodging, Li Wu realized that his strength and speed had significantly increased and were still growing.

Even more shocking to Li Wu was his newfound ability to clearly see the black panther's attributes.

Explanation: This is the most powerful Summoned Beast you have faced so far.

...

The system was right; this Summoned Beast was indeed the most formidable one Li Wu had encountered in his career.

Its strength was incredibly terrifying.

Under normal circumstances, Li Wu wouldn't last more than one or two rounds against it.

Now, with the ability to see the panther's attributes, he quickly sensed the Shadow Panther's intentions and narrowly avoided several attacks, but this only bought him three extra rounds.

In the fourth round, Li Wu was driven into a desperate situation by the Shadow Panther."

Just as Li Wu was about to be swatted by the Shadow Panther's claw, one of his three evolving underlings finally completed their evolution.

A figure rushed over, moving at an astonishing speed, and rammed into the Shadow Panther.

Li Wu was stunned by the sight of this figure—a bird, only 1.3 meters tall, with a wingspan of nearly three meters, covered in icy blue feathers, and possessing an extraordinarily handsome appearance.

One of Li Wu's underlings was a bird, and this was obviously the naive one, Hanhan.

The attributes confirmed Li Wu's guess; it was indeed Hanhan.

Explanation: Nothing can stop its yearning to be beaten up.

...

It had to be said that every time this little guy evolved, his looks became more impressive.

However, his appearance, like Dudu's, couldn't last long.

The last time, his feathers had regrown, only to be plucked out by the little skeleton. This time, although they hadn't been pulled out, a few swipes from the Shadow Panther had left several cuts, and his body was drenched in blood, ruining his peak looks.

Even his life was in danger.

Just as Li Wu was about to join the fight, a large wave of seawater surged and slammed into the Shadow Panther.

This tactic had been used just a moment ago; the Shadow Panther was familiar with it and knew that the little goldfish was approaching.

Enraged, the Shadow Panther gathered its strength, focusing its energy and waiting to unleash a burst of power to take out the little goldfish.

However, it didn't sense the little goldfish's presence at all, and instead, its tail lashed out and struck its face.

The power unleashed far exceeded the Shadow Panther's imagination, sending it flying, and at the same moment, the little goldfish surfaced, opening its mouth to spray an incredibly thick column of water, slamming into the Shadow Panther.

As the little goldfish surfaced, Li Wu also saw its attributes.

Its skills, talents, and even its form hadn't changed much, but its strength had reached 1-Star Lord, and the Ocean's Child skill allowed it to temporarily reach the level of a 1-Star Overlord.

Of course, this was already impressive.

It should be noted that the little goldfish wasn't even fighting in its home territory.

Its current strength wasn't even half of its peak, and it could become even stronger.

On the Shadow Panther's side, it was caught off guard by the little goldfish's sudden attack, leaving it flustered, but being a true 1-Star Overlord, it wasn't easily defeated.

The Shadow Panther felt it could still fight.

However, just as it prepared to unleash its power, a silver-white spear thrust from behind, piercing the Shadow Panther.

The attack came suddenly, but even at that speed, the Shadow Panther could have dodged it.

As the spear thrust forward, a faint roar echoed, and a mysterious and powerful aura flashed, affecting the Shadow Panther and slowing it down, making it impossible to dodge the spear.

Unable to do anything, the Shadow Panther could only directly activate Shadow Form, avoiding the silver-white lightning spear.

At this moment, Lu Wu's eyes were completely fixed on the little skeleton.

The little skeleton had undergone its second evolution, resulting in significant changes to its form.

Although it still couldn't break the 170 cm height limit and remained around 160 cm, its outfit had undergone a massive transformation.

The original wizard's robe had been replaced with a set of lightweight-looking armor, and mysterious runes adorned its skeletal body. A bronze bone crown adorned its head, giving it a formidable appearance.

The attribute panel also underwent a significant change.

...

In the 1619 book, it's all correct!

Note: Don't expect much from the little skeleton's armor and helmet; they're just decorative.

However, it has indeed become stronger, at least with the combat power of a 1-star Overlord.

...

Looking at the little skeleton's attributes, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

Impressive, right? He had invested a lot of money into it.

But that wasn't enough; it also required Lu Wu to endure a beating to trigger its evolution.

Lu Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

In the past, the little skeleton's upgrades only required smashing a smartphone, but now it had progressed to the point where Lu Wu himself had to be involved.

At this rate, Lu Wu wasn't sure if he could withstand the next wave.

Well, it wasn't clear if Lu Wu could make it through the next wave.

But one thing was certain—the Shadow Panther wouldn't survive this wave.

As the little skeleton completed its evolution, the tide of battle instantly turned. Little Goldfish and the little skeleton worked together, front and back, with seamless coordination. In just a few rounds, they left the Shadow Panther badly wounded.

However, just as the little skeleton and Little Goldfish were about to finish off the Shadow Panther, a voice filled with rage and frustration echoed.

"Impressive! I didn't expect you to push the Shadow Panther to this extent. You, Lu Wu, have lived up to your reputation as a demon."

Lu Wu's expression changed, and he turned to look.

Jin Li Hai approached, dragging Zhao Kai Ming's body.

"What did you do to him?"

"Don't worry, I promised not to kill Zhao Kai Ming. He's not dead; he just had his limbs broken, and he lost a summoned beast. With a few years of recovery, he should be able to get out of bed."

As Jin Li Hai spoke, he approached Lu Wu.

The little skeleton and Little Goldfish, seeing this, quickly abandoned the Shadow Panther and returned to Lu Wu's side. Only the naive Hanhan remained unreactive and was trampled by the Shadow Panther.

Jin Li Hai, seeing the little skeleton and Little Goldfish returning to retaliate against Lu Wu, smirked.

"These two summoned beasts are quite impressive, especially this little skeleton. It's not easy to grow from a small skeleton to what it is now.

However, relying on these two to stop me is still far from enough."

As Jin Li Hai spoke, he released Zhao Kai Ming and accelerated towards Lu Wu.

The little skeleton's bones glowed with lightning, its eye flames flickered, and it clenched its teeth, looking particularly fierce as if it wanted to charge and spear this human to death.

But Lu Wu held it back firmly.

He could see the opponent's attributes, and a Master-level peak strength was far beyond what the little skeleton could handle or what their physical power could resolve.

Unable to defeat the opponent, Lu Wu could only resort to reasoning.

"Jin Li Hai..."

However, the other party didn't give him a chance to reason.

Before Lu Wu could finish speaking, Jin Li Hai had already appeared before him, reaching for his neck.

Jiang Yuexing was nearby, and Jin Li Hai wasn't sure how long Zhang Yun Yi could hold on, so it was safer to take Lu Wu down first.

Yes, this was a rational decision, but it was also the most wrong one.

Jin Li Hai extended his hand, but before he could touch Lu Wu, Lu Wu fainted.

Along with Lu Wu, his summoned beasts also collapsed.

"What's going on?"

Jin Li Hai was taken aback. He hadn't even touched Lu Wu, so how did he faint? Instinctively sensing something amiss, he tried to back away.

But it was too late, or perhaps it had always been too late.

At that moment, a figure emerged from Lu Wu's heart, dressed in white court attire, holding a pale blue longsword, and wearing a veil, exuding an air of ethereal transcendence.

Seeing this person, Jin Li Hai was stunned. He seemed to realize something and looked at Lu Wu with disbelief.

Apparently understanding Lu Wu's identity, Jin Li Hai immediately knelt.

"I didn't mean to..."

Before he could finish pleading, a faint sword aura slashed, and everyone still standing collapsed.

With a single sword strike, Jin Li Hai was defeated. The fairy-like figure then turned towards Zhang Yun Yi and the others.
