In the distance, five black-robed skeletons rapidly approached.
With the old monster Extermination Yin Corpse increasing his attacks, the battle between him and the Azure Sky Ghost King had also reached a fever pitch.
When two Nascent Soul-level old monsters fought with all their might, the resulting disturbance naturally drew the five black-robed skeletons' attention. Lu Xiaotian noticed, however, that the slightly smaller black-robed skeleton he had injured earlier had vanished.
Perhaps it had first been wounded by Lu Xiaotian, then taken a beating from the Azure Sky Ghost King's whip, leaving it badly weakened and unwilling to approach such a fierce battle.
The three of them had blocked the blood-red whips transformed from the Azure Sky Ghost King's Black Yellow Treasure Tree. Now the old monster Extermination was exerting himself again, once more forcing the Azure Sky Ghost King onto the defensive.
Seeing the five black-robed skeletons charging toward them, the old monster Extermination's eyes widened. His hands transformed into hammers, and he struck the corpse drum with both at once. With a thunderous boom, the drum transformed into a massive, three-headed humanoid corpse. Two heads lunged at the giant toad, while the third snapped at the blood moon, which was tottering in the sky.
The five black-robed skeletons had arrived. The two old monsters were about to fight to the death.
Lu Xiaotian wondered whether he should withdraw and let the two old monsters cripple each other. Emperor Yao and the silver-armored woman glanced his way as well. Fighting amid the churning corpse aura and ghost domain made them both deeply uncomfortable, and their strength was severely suppressed. The two old monsters were clearly at a critical juncture; staying any longer was extremely dangerous. But if they simply left, they worried they would offend the old monster Extermination.
