Chapter 380: Breakthrough

Chapter 380: Breakthrough



The little skeleton was a bit dazed.

No, it was more like completely bewildered.

It seemed like it was looking for 'Gray Wolf,' but somehow, it felt like it had found Li Wu instead?

But was the person in front of him really Li Wu?

This Li Wu seemed to be covered in dirt, just like the big baddie Li Wu had mentioned before, with all that filth.

A dirty Li Wu was obviously broken.

So, the problem arose.

Could a broken Li Wu still be useful?

The little skeleton looked at Li Wu with some disdain.

(It's already this dirty, and he left the little skeleton at home for Tuan Tuan to beat up for so long. It seems like Li Wu has completely turned into a bad Li Wu. Maybe it's time to let him go.)



On the other side, Li Wu, who had been paying attention to the little skeleton since it appeared, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Who's dirty? You're the dirty one, and your whole family is dirty!

If it weren't for the wrong time and place, Li Wu would have definitely made the little skeleton recall the fear of being dominated.

The change in Li Wu's expression was noticed by the 47th Apostle, who felt a sense of satisfaction.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous already? Are you scared?

This is just the beginning; there's something even more despairing and terrifying waiting for you!

I'll treat you well!"

As he spoke, the undead army surrounding Li Wu launched an attack.

Hundreds of undead, empowered by the Bone King's various blessings, coalesced into a unified force, their strength skyrocketing to a terrifying level.

Although they rushed in together, their assault was not chaotic; instead, under the influence of the Undead Army Might, they merged into a single entity.

Hundreds of undead soldiers unleashed their skills in perfect unison.

First, they initiated the Soul Curse, a deadly-level undead intimidation skill.

Soul Curse is a powerful intimidation skill of the undead, capable of exerting mental pressure on opponents. If the intimidation is successful, it can cause mental confusion, energy loss of control, or even instant death.

Hundreds of lord-level summoned beasts simultaneously used this skill.

The scene was incredibly intimidating.

A massive skeleton phantom appeared above the undead army, and a terrifying pressure akin to a collapsing mountain descended upon Li Wu.

The power of this skill far surpassed the 47th Apostle's ultimate move, the Undead Curse.

Who had told him that cultivation realms were absolute?

These hundreds of lord-level summoned beasts, under the Bone King's unification, had unleashed a force far beyond their individual capabilities. Of course, they were strong, but Li Wu wasn't going to give up so easily.

He wasn't going to surrender without a fight.

As the pressure descended, the icy sword style that Li Wu had used once before erupted again.

The icy sword intent, infused with evil energy, struggled to resist the pressure above.

On the other side, the little skeleton.

Although it disliked Li Wu for being dirty and broken, it still felt unhappy seeing someone attacking its Li Wu. After all, Li Wu was its Li Wu, and it belonged to the little skeleton, whether good or bad.

Besides, instead of discarding a dirty and broken Li Wu, washing and repairing him might make him usable again.

So, the little skeleton prepared to take action with its gun, but then it saw Li Wu giving it a look.

What kind of relationship did the little skeleton and Li Wu have?

They had a connection that allowed them to communicate through eye contact!

'Don't take action; this skill is good. Let me analyze and absorb it.' Li Wu's intention.

(Don't attack the small soldiers, but the dirty human?) The little skeleton understood.

'Just watch from the side; I'll tell you when to act!'

(Sneak up to the dirty human and grab the chance to shoot and blow up his head?)



'Do you understand?'

(Yes, yes!)



After three glances, they finally synchronized.

The little skeleton's head nodded vigorously.

Li Wu, seeing the little skeleton's affirmative nod, couldn't help but smirk.

Look, look, look.

This was the little skeleton Li Wu had raised for over two years, and their unspoken understanding was beyond words. Even with their contract unilaterally closed by Li Wu, they could still communicate through eye contact.

Precisely and without a sound, Li Wu conveyed his intentions to the little guy.

Such understanding was probably unmatched in the world.

With the little skeleton under control, Li Wu's heart settled, and he began to resist with all his might while analyzing the King's Pressure and the Soldier's Gun Technique and Undead Aura skills enveloping the undead army.

These skills were all valuable, especially after the little skeleton's arrival, which further solidified Li Wu's determination to steal them.

Because this Undead Legion was so powerful, Lu Wu wanted to make it his own.

"Arrogant, are you? Where's that arrogance now? What happened to that boldness of yours?"

The 47th Apostle was unaware that Lu Wu was frantically absorbing something.

He didn't notice that the Lesser Skeleton, after receiving Lu Wu's dirty and broken 'command', was staring at him with fiery eyes.

And cautiously, quietly, it crept towards him.

It seemed to be waiting for the right moment to pounce, draw its long spear, and give Lu Wu a surprise stab.

Yes, the 47th Apostle knew nothing of this.

All he knew was that Lu Wu looked utterly miserable.

The terrifyingly cold sword intent, suppressed by the Necromancer's Pressure, had been pushed to within half a meter of Lu Wu's body.

The sharp sword intent continued to fluctuate, and large beads of sweat emerged from Lu Wu's forehead, where his veins bulged.

Anyone could see that Lu Wu was in great pain and distress.

And the more Lu Wu suffered, the happier the 47th Apostle became.

After all, Demonic Summoners, due to the influence of evil auras, often had some mental issues, more or less.

Kong Yi, Feng Xiu, and this 47th Apostle were no exceptions.

They all had problems that normal people wouldn't, or problems that were even more extreme than those of regular folks.

He loved watching his enemies being crushed by him, bit by bit.

This gave him a tremendous sense of pleasure.

So, he wasn't in a hurry to kill Lu Wu.

Besides, what was the rush?

The 47th Apostle had over a dozen Bone Dragons, a dozen Lord Level 3-Star Skeletal Warriors, and the Bone King on his side, and without their help, Lu Wu was already in such a pitiful state.

In this situation, Lu Wu was destined to be unable to turn the tables.

So, of course, the 47th Apostle was going to have some fun.

"Enjoy it while it lasts. Enjoy this pain, because this is the last thing you'll ever feel before you die.

You should thank me for this merciful experience.

Come on, Bone King, increase the pressure a little! Let him feel it even more deeply."

Under the 47th Apostle's twisted command,

The pressure on Lu Wu intensified, pushing the sword intent surrounding him to within 30 centimeters.

On Lu Wu's face, not only sweat but also fine beads of blood appeared.

This wasn't an act.

He was truly in agony.

After all, he genuinely couldn't defeat this Undead Legion.

If Lu Wu fought with all his might, his combat power could reach the level of a 3-Star King.

But that was with all his strength, and without going all out, or even using the Celestial Cloud Sword, Lu Wu's combat power was, at most, only at the peak of 1-Star King.

With this level of power, he could fight a 2-Star King Summoner like the 47th Apostle, who wasn't particularly strong in personal combat, but it would be difficult to compete with a genuine 2-Star King.

And what he faced now was an Undead Legion empowered and concentrated by various enhancements.

Their skills, with this boost, had reached the level of a 2-Star King.

His brain trembled, and every pore on his body opened up, forcing out blood.

(End of Chapter)

Lu Wu, with the intent to integrate the Lu Clan Sword Technique, began to stubbornly practice the Fire God Strike. As he persisted, the sword intent outside his body gradually crumbled, making his resistance increasingly difficult.

Anyone could see that if the 47th Apostle were to squeeze just a little, Lu Wu would be dead. But Lu Wu refused to give up, determined to fight back.

This left Lu Chuancheng, standing by his side, perplexed.

"Father, didn't you say that when dealing with enemies, you either don't act or you show no mercy? What is the 47th Apostle doing...?"

On one side stood his beloved father, and on the other, a figure akin to a divine demon, commanding his utmost respect.

For the first time, Lu Chuancheng questioned his father's teachings. Should he trust his father's words or his own eyes? This dilemma left Lu Chuancheng in a quandary.

He was currently under the 47th Apostle's domain, so how could he speak up? Calling this guy a lunatic or a fool would be suicidal.

So, he had no choice but to flatter the 47th Apostle.

"What I told you was about dealing with enemies! That was in the context of battle, a life-and-death struggle!"

Lu Chuancheng glanced at his son and continued, "Do you think this real estate agent is an enemy of the 47th Apostle? Is this even a battle? It's just a one-sided slaughter."

He raised his voice slightly, ensuring the 47th Apostle heard him.

The 47th Apostle's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, clearly pleased by the flattery.

Lu Chuancheng noticed this and felt delighted.

By flattering the 47th Apostle, he was certain he would take a step forward.

But his son, with eyes fixed on the bloodied and trembling Lu Wu, who still stood tall, felt a strange unease.

Just as he looked at Lu Wu, Lu Wu's eyes opened, revealing a burst of sword intent. Lu Chuancheng's heart trembled, and he muttered softly, "He seems to have gotten stronger. If this continues, won't the 47th Apostle be overturned?"

At these words, Lu Chuancheng's face changed.

He immediately wanted to scold his son but found himself unable to move.

Lu Chuancheng knew something terrible was about to happen; the 47th Apostle was taking action.

Just as he was about to kneel and beg for mercy for his outspoken son, he saw his son step out of his embrace and approach the 47th Apostle.

Lu Chuancheng's heart trembled, wanting to cry for mercy but unable to do anything.

At this moment, the 47th Apostle, who had brought Lu Chuancheng over, looked at the youth before him with a smile.

"Overturn the situation? Do you think he has a chance?"

Lu Chuancheng was stunned by this sudden turn of events, too scared to speak.

"Answer me!"

The 47th Apostle's words made Lu Chuancheng shudder. Mustering his courage, he said cautiously, "I... I think he's gotten stronger..."

"He has indeed gotten stronger, and quite significantly. It seems he's about to break through to the 2-Star King Rank. This talent is not bad, but it seems he lacks a bit of pressure. I'll give him some."

As the 47th Apostle spoke, the pressure on Lu Wu increased.

Under this terrifying pressure, Lu Wu's Ice Sword Intent, which was already on the verge of collapse, shattered with a crisp crack.

With the collapse of the Ice Sword Intent, the terrifying Undead Pressure poured down like a flood, threatening to engulf Lu Wu.

At this moment, another surge of sword intent emerged from Lu Wu's body, a fire sword intent infused with demonic energy.

This sword intent came from Lu Wu's continuous absorption of the Fire God Strike, but it wasn't powerful yet, even purer than the previous Ice Sword Intent.

The 47th Apostle's mouth curled, and he increased his power.

A loud creaking sound filled the air, and the fire sword intent trembled again.

Lu Wu's blood raged on his body.

Witnessing this, Lu Chuancheng felt he understood something.

The 47th Apostle spoke of giving Lu Wu some pressure to help him break through, but it seemed he intended to kill Lu Wu.

In the end, the 47th Apostle heeded his advice.

However, at this moment, the 47th Apostle's mouth curved again.

He increased his power slightly, and with this added force, Lu Wu, beneath him, seemed to have reached a breaking point, and with a 'boom', he exploded...
