The Killing Skeleton was a powerful subordinate of Fire Slaughter Demon Venerable, a mid-level Grandmaster who had killed countless people. No one knew how many martial artists had become nourishment for his cultivation.
The Skeleton Staff was even his signature weapon, an exceptionally impressive Treasure Artifact.
Seeing the crisis descend, the Killing Skeleton was a decisive man. He immediately unleashed the Killing Life Secret Art. His robe exploded apart, and bloody energy surged into the Skeleton Staff.
His body instantly withered.
The Killing Skeleton was confident that after using the Killing Life Secret Art, he would definitely be able to force Xu Yan back and buy himself time to escape!
Even if he could not escape, at worst they would perish together. Even if he could not kill Xu Yan on the spot, as long as Xu Yan was injured, given how vicious his cultivation method was, recovering from those injuries would be absolutely impossible.
Even if he luckily survived, his martial path would certainly be ruined, leaving him half-crippled!
At least he would not have died for nothing!
He had once been surrounded and attacked by four or five Grandmasters. He had used this Killing Life Secret Art then as well. Although the price had been rather heavy, he had escaped the encirclement, while all the Grandmasters who had attacked him had suffered severe injuries.
Their strength had been nearly crippled.
As for him, with the Demon Venerable's help, he had devoured the Essence Blood of more than a dozen Grandmasters and slowly recovered.
Although his strength had exceeded expectations this time when he came to kill Xu Yan, the Killing Skeleton was confident that he could escape with his life.
At worst, he would spend some time devouring the Essence Blood of some martial artists and slowly recover.
