Chapter 495 - Black and White
Chapter 495 – Black and White
An Zheng, Chen Shaobai and the other two were already familiar with this kind of situation. They knew that things were not going well when they saw a large group of people exploding in the desert. In front of Floating Mist City was the city. There were too many ordinary people inside the city, and the consequences would be dire if those Six-Winged Skeleton entered the city. An Zheng looked at Qi Tian and Chen Shaobai, all three of them nodded, and rushed forward at the same time.
At the same time, the huge Six-Winged Skeleton had already crawled out from the desert. It then unfurled the six bone wings on its back and soared into the sky, charging towards Floating Mist City.
Everyone knew that the item was not a good item. The crowd on the way to Floating Mist City immediately turned chaotic. The caravan’s camels were frightened and turned to run. The merchants chased after them while wailing. Some of the pedestrians became paralyzed with fear, while others turned around and ran. When the Six-Winged Skeleton flew up, it stirred a hurricane, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere on the ground.
“Those monsters are heading towards Misty City!”
Someone shouted.
“Who’s a cultivator!?”
In the crowd, a youth drew his sword and stood up, “Cultivators, stand up!”
“I am!”
A middle-aged man who had his arms around his wife and child stood up. He turned around to look at his wife and son, then smiled warmly, “You guys forget to hide far away, I’m going to stop those monsters from entering Misty City. There are too many citizens in the city, so once these monsters enter the city, it’ll be a calamity.”
His wife grabbed his clothes. “Please, don’t go. That monster looks too scary.”
His son also hugged his leg. “Dad, don’t go. I don’t want you to go. I want you to protect me and mom.”
“Father is a cultivator.”
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and drew the long blade wrapped in cloth from his back. “Cultivators have their own responsibilities.”
He rubbed his son’s little head and said, “In the future, you will also be a cultivator. If in the future, something like this happens, you will also stand up like father.”
He glanced at the youth who had drawn his sword. “Let’s go!”
The teenager nodded his head vigorously, “Go!”
One of them wielded a long sword, the other carried a long blade, and chased after the Six-Winged Skeleton from the left and right. As the two of them sped forward, the yellow sand beneath their feet fluttered like ribbons for their benefit.
However, just as the two of them charged out, a violent shaking suddenly appeared beneath their feet. Soon after, another Six-Winged Skeleton came out from the ground. With its two large palms supporting the ground, its body slowly squeezed out from the ground.
“Kill!”
The sword-wielding youth charged forward, chopping down with his sword. The Sword Qi descended like a waterfall, slashing onto the Six-Winged Skeleton’s forehead. However, the sword Qi only left a shallow mark on it. When the wind blew, not even a shallow mark remained. The Six-Winged Skeleton was obviously infuriated, and it grabbed towards the young man. The saber-wielding middle-aged man shouted, “Careful!” Then, he rushed over and used his shoulder to push the youth away, slashing down with his saber.
With a clang, the saber was split open.
Seeing that the big hand was about to grab onto his body, his wife and children cried out in alarm at the same time.
At that moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared and grabbed onto the middle-aged man’s shoulder. Then, it fiercely flung him backwards. The middle-aged man simply could not stop him. He did not know what had happened, but he felt his body being thrown back by a huge force, before rolling around in the desert. When he finally stopped, he found himself right next to his wife and children.
He looked into the distance and saw a black-clothed youth raise his right arm, blocking the gigantic skeletal hand. The youth in black turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, “You are very good, but not good enough.” The duty of a cultivator was to protect those ordinary people who did not have the ability to protect themselves in the face of disaster. This was true, but there was always the possibility of strength. You arusband and a father. If you can’t even protect your own family, then how can you protect others? Before such a disaster, the stronger people will go first, and the stronger ones will all die. ”
An Zheng turned his head around and fiercely punched out with his right fist: “Scram for me!”
Boom!
The explosion exploded between his fist and the white bone hand of the Six-Winged Skeleton. Under the huge force, the arm of the Six-Winged Skeleton was directly blown backwards. An Zheng took this opportunity to soar into the sky. At this time, he could no longer care about hiding his strength, and directly summoned his Broken Army Sword.
Broken Army Sword s were the world’s best weapon, and this time, it directly split open the Six-Winged Skeleton’s skull. The sword beam that was tens of meters long slashed through the Six-Winged Skeleton’s skull before going straight down. It then came out from under the Six-Winged Skeleton’s crotch. The giant skeleton wailed in pain, then suddenly split in two. It was as if a small mountain had fallen to the two sides from the middle, and it crashed onto the ground with a loud bang.
“Stop them from entering the city. Try your best to stand guard outside the city. Get everyone on the road to retreat!”
An Zheng shouted, and rushed to the next Six-Winged Skeleton. At the same time, Chen Shaobai was already waving his black sickle to find a Six-Winged Skeleton. The marks left by the black sickle were like strokes drawn with thick ink, immediately slicing a Six-Winged Skeleton in half. However, after the Six-Winged Skeleton fell to the ground, it did not die immediately. Its upper and lower body were separated, still as strong as before.
The most terrifying thing was that its lower body had actually changed. The bones of its legs broke a few times and turned into something like a scorpion as it pounced towards Chen Shaobai. While its upper body, on the other hand, abruptly raised up both of its arms, clenched both of its fists in the air, and heavily smashed down towards Chen Shaobai.
“I’ve given you face!”
Chen Shaobai cursed angrily, he dodged to the side, and in mid air, he swung his sickle and caught the arm of the Six-Winged Skeleton, then flipped his body over and landed on the arm as he ran towards his head. But Chen Shaobai’s speed was too fast. In a few seconds, he arrived at the shoulder of the Six-Winged Skeleton and swept the sickle across, as if writing a line with a brush covered in ink.
Kacha! The Six-Winged Skeleton’s head was swept off.
Qi Tian fell from the sky and the iron rod became huge. This time, he did not restrain himself as much as he could, but used his own strength to the maximum. A layer of golden flames suddenly rose from the iron rod. He gripped the iron rod with both hands and fiercely smashed it downwards. The metal rod heavily smashed onto the lower half of the Six-Winged Skeleton that Chen Shaobai had cut off. The lower half of the White Bone Scorpion that was initially turned into a bone scorpion was smashed down towards Chen Shaobai’s back.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A huge explosion occurred in the desert, creating a huge crater. The White Bone Scorpion was smashed into pieces. The anger that Qi Tian felt when he encountered the first Six-Winged Skeleton that he could not kill the other party with one slap finally came out. He turned around to see that An Zheng had already rushed towards the third Six-Winged Skeleton.
“Can I lose to you? I’ll kill you!”
He brandished his iron rod and rushed forward, while more Six-Winged Skeleton crawled out from the ground. At the same time, the cultivators of Floating Mist City also moved out. Most of them were monks, as well as cultivators who traveled from all over the city. Regardless of the identity or background of these cultivators, at least six or seven out of ten people stood up. They rushed out of the city and faced those gigantic Six-Winged Skeleton s.
In that moment, the meaning of the word ‘Cultivator’ exploded out.
However, the number of Six-Winged Skeleton still continued to increase. In the middle of the desert, there were bulges after bulges, and then the sand dune broke open as Six-Winged Skeleton came out from the ground one after another. Although there were a lot of cultivators, cultivators below the Captive Stage could not affect these Six-Winged Skeleton in any way. Even if they were cultivators with Captive Stage, without any particularly good magical equipment, they could only block but not kill.
After all, the number of cultivators above Lower Completion Stage was still too small.
No one knew where these Six-Winged Skeleton came from or why they were so terrifying. It had been far too many years since such a disaster had occurred in the Tsukiko. The last time there was such an evil being was at least a few thousand years ago, before the establishment of the Peacock Palace. At that time, the evil demon also drilled out from the ground, making it hard for the local cultivators to resist. The girl who came out of Golden Crown, with Duke Ming’s fury and the Nirvana Flame, completely suppressed all the evil beings.
Seeing the cultivators suffer heavy losses, a Buddhist prayer suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then, everyone saw a white ball of light slowly rise up. Within the white ball of light, a young monk was sitting cross-legged. He looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, and he wore a very worn out monastic robe. That monastic robe was covered with patches, but they were still unable to cover his body. In his left hand was a broken alms bowl and in his right was a string of buddhist beads. He slowly ascended into the sky as the buddhist title fell from the sky, causing everyone to be shocked.
After that, there were the clear sounds of scriptures being chanted, even though the sound was not loud. Since they were both in Sanskrit, An Zheng and the others didn’t know what scripture they were reciting. When the sound of the scripture reached their ears, everyone felt their hearts calm down. Even the commoners who were running in every direction stopped in their tracks as they screamed. They subconsciously raised their heads to look at the little monk in the sky. The chanting of the scriptures calmed everyone’s hearts and dispelled their fear.
“Look!”
Someone noticed that something was amiss and pointed forward.
At this time, people realized that the previously berserk Six-Winged Skeleton had all stopped, and countless golden Sanskrit words appeared on top of each skeleton’s head. It should be the Buddhist scripture that the young monk was chanting. The scriptures formed a circle around the skull of the skeleton. All the skeletons stood still, as if they had turned into stone statues.
At least forty to fifty gigantic Six-Winged Skeleton stopped moving, and the ground was no longer shaking. It was obvious that the Six-Winged Skeleton that was about to come out was affected by the Buddhist scriptures, and no longer went out.
An Zheng was the first to react, shouting “kill”, followed closely by the cultivators. If they didn’t attack now, then how long were they going to wait? All of a sudden, it became a crushing massacre. Even though the weaker cultivators were unable to harm the skeletons, they all rushed forward and attacked with all their might, as if they were swinging their axes.
It was a good thing that there were only a few dozen of them, and their strength above the Lower Completion Stage was extremely effective. Meanwhile, the cultivators who had been hiding in the city and not showing their faces also rushed out to display their might … Perhaps because of the influence of the Buddha Scriptures, An Zheng felt that the defense of those Six-Winged Skeleton had dropped by a level, and killing them was much easier than before. Half an hour later, dozens of Six-Winged Skeleton were reduced to bones all over the ground.
As for the young monk floating in mid-air, he seemed to have exhausted all of his strength. His body swayed for a moment and then fell straight down. An Zheng tapped his feet on the ground and shot out like a cannonball. The little monk’s body was still emitting a gentle white light, but An Zheng was like a black bolt of lightning.
One black and one white.
