Looking again at Li Bao, his originally average-sized frame had actually grown several degrees taller under the infusion of spiritual power. His muscles bulged, and a flowing golden film of light surfaced over his body—the protective Gale Qi formed from the fusion of ten people's spiritual power and vital energy.
The longsword in his hand was wrapped in spiritual power, its blade extending several feet. Its edge gleamed sharply, slicing even the surrounding air with hissing sounds.
"This power... is incredible!"
The captain felt the surging power within him, and a flicker of shock crossed his eyes. The helplessness he had felt when facing the Composite Bone Monster vanished completely, replaced by unparalleled confidence.
At that moment, the Composite Bone Monster at the center of the battlefield seemed to sense the threat. Its enormous body, pieced together from countless bones, suddenly shook, its bones grinding together with piercing cracks.
Several bone whips made of vertebrae and ribs swept toward them on howling winds. Wherever they passed, deep trenches split open in the ground and shattered stones flew everywhere.
"Move!"
"Kill!"
The captains of every squad shouted in unison and lunged forward like arrows loosed from a bow.
Li Bao struck first, slashing out a golden Sword Qi dozens of yards long with his longsword, cutting straight toward the Composite Bone Monster's head.
That head was formed from one enormous skull piled together with dozens of smaller ones, its surface covered in a layer of dark bone armor. When it faced the Sword Qi's blow, it actually let out a thunderous clang, scattering sparks in every direction.
But this time, the Composite Bone Monster's defenses were no longer flawless. The golden Sword Qi forcibly carved a deep gash into its armor, sending several broken bones flying.
"It worked!" Everyone's spirits rose
