Lu Bai got up from the stone pier, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down at the Skeleton Soldier climbing the mountain by the moonlight.

These Skeleton Soldier cannot march along roads; they only know how to charge recklessly.

Trees were felled one by one, and the weeds along the way were trampled to a pulp.

The massive undead army, like locusts, devoured everything in its path.

"What... what are these?" Second Young Master Hu's eyes widened as he struggled to get a better look.

"True Person Chang the Third, it seems I'll have to trouble you."

Lu Bai turned to look at Chang Shengtian.

He did not find the summoner of this Scourge army.

In this situation, he really didn't have any good solutions for dealing with such a sea of skeletons.

After all, the ability of the [Death Note] requires one to imagine the target's appearance in their mind when writing the name.

This makes his current temporary skill set more suitable for long-range, pinpoint kills.

You can't possibly write tens of thousands of "Li Si" in one go, can you?

Unless a deathmatch with wide-area destructive capabilities suddenly appears in front of him, forcing him to reload his save, dealing with such a swarm of enemies is indeed troublesome.

"Little Bai, aren't you overestimating me a bit?"

Chang Shengtian stared at the densely packed Skeleton Soldier at the foot of the mountain, speechless with amazement.

With such a large number, even a powerful deity like it would find it very difficult to deal with them.

However, since Lu Bai had already called it True Person Chang the Third, it felt really embarrassed to refuse.

"Fine, I'll try to reduce the number of these monsters."

Chang Shengtian sighed, then soared into the air, transforming into a giant black-scaled python tens of meters long.

Without further delay, the black-scaled giant python immediately swooped down towards the Scourge army below the mountain.

As it charged forward, a strong, eerie wind suddenly arose, whipping up a large cloud of sand and stones.

Don't be fooled by how easily Lu Bai dealt with these immortals Establish Prefecture and Build Temple; that was largely due to his initial advantage.

If they were to actually engage in a direct confrontation, even if they won, they would end up in a very embarrassing situation.

In an instant, the black-scaled giant python pounced into the skeleton army, its tail whipping wildly like a dragon's tail, smashing swathes of Skeleton Soldier to pieces.

A chilling wind swept through, each time sending dozens of Skeleton Soldier flying.

The black-scaled python opened its bloody mouth, but did not bite. It hissed in its throat and finally spat out a large number of smaller black-scaled snakes.

These black-scaled snakes were coiled together, their scales rubbing against each other, which was quite eerie.

Pity,

Surrounded by mindless Skeleton Soldier, they wouldn't be frightened by this scene.

Instead of advancing, they retreated, mechanically slashing with their bone knives as they fought the black-scaled snakes.

The most troublesome thing is that these Skeleton Soldiers are not attacking the mountain from just one direction. No matter how hard the Chang Shengtian try, they can only block the attack from one side.

"Mr. Bai, True Person Chang the Third is not capable of handling this situation."

Seeing Chang Shengtian struggling, Second Young Master Hu was secretly pleased. "Let me go, my skills are well-suited to handling this situation."

Lu Bai casually dispelled the Great Serpent Phantom that had been suppressing Second Young Master Hu: "Then let's see how you perform."

Holding the Four Immortal Lotuses in his hand, he wasn't actually worried about Second Young Master Hu betraying him.

I just felt that this person used dirty methods to overthrow the Incense Sect system, so I used the Great Serpent Phantom to make him suffer a little.

The sudden escape was so easy that even Second Young Master Hu felt it was a bit unreal, and he even paused for a few seconds before thinking to get up first.

It instantly transformed into a huge white fox, tilting its head back and letting out a joyful howl.

Seeing this, Lu Bai silently took out the Four Immortal Lotuses.

"I understand, I understand."

The white fox noticed this action and, without waiting for Lu Bai to remind it, leaped up and steadily stepped into the air.

As the moonlight descended, it shone upon the smooth fur of the white fox, giving it an indescribable air of nobility.

Unexpectedly, Second Young Master Hu didn't even have time to be smug for long.

A nearly ten-meter-long arc-shaped sword aura rushed towards the white-furred fox suspended in mid-air, slashing horizontally down.

The wind howled, and wherever the sword energy passed, it brought a deafening roar, as if even the air itself couldn't help but wail.

[Great Swordsman's Flying Slash): A powerful ranged attack technique. It unleashes a powerful wave of sword energy, easily cleaving an island in two. Note that the stronger the slash, the greater the energy consumption.]

The Flying Slash came too fast, and given the white fox's large size, there was simply no time to dodge.

In desperation, Second Young Master Hu had no choice but to release the moonlight he had accumulated, forming a moonlight barrier to meet the sword energy that was like a soul-reaping messenger head-on.

Boom!

The deafening explosion and the shockwave from the collision swept outwards, abruptly engulfing the mountain below.

The terrifying eruption sent up endless dust and smoke, completely engulfing the upper half of Yanghu Zi Mountain.

Many of the Skeleton Soldier who had painstakingly climbed the mountain were swept away by the shockwave.

Sensing the commotion, Chang Shengtian turned around.

Upon seeing the scene unfolding on the mountain, their vertical pupils couldn't help but reveal an extremely human-like expression of utter bewilderment.

"Phew~"

Milky-white Mana enveloped Lu Bai's entire body. He raised the Great Serpent Phantom on his left arm and shook it in front of him, barely dispelling some of the dust.

After all, it's not the primary target of the Flying Slash.

Thanks to the Mana protection of Chang Shengtian and Lord Bai the Fourteenth, Lu Bai was not seriously injured.

It was expected that he would be targeted by the deathmatchers; he was just a little disappointed that he hadn't noticed where the sword had come from.

He crawled out of the Shatter Stone and looked around.

"Could it be that Second Young Master Hu has died just like that?"

When the smoke and dust clear, it will be discovered that a section of the summit of Yanghu Zi Mountain has been sheared off.

The mountaintop, already dilapidated, was torn open with shocking marks.

Wow~

Chang Shengtian quickly landed beside Lu Bai: "Xiao Bai, are you alright? What happened just now?"

Given this turn of events, it was naturally impossible for it to continue blocking the skeleton army climbing the mountain halfway up.

Lu Bai was about to speak to appease True Person Chang the Third when he suddenly noticed the change in the sky and narrowed his eyes, "Send me down the mountain, and hurry up."

At that moment, a large number of shooting stars appeared in the sky, numbering nearly a hundred.

To be precise, it should be called a meteorite.

Each one appeared to be nearly a kilometer in diameter, its surface surging with almost tangible crimson flames, as if it were about to destroy everything.

These meteorites fell rapidly, gradually covering the entire sky in this crimson hue.

Without a doubt,

The meteorite landed precisely at Yanghu Zi Mountain, where Lu Bai was located.

Faced with this terrifying attack, the Yanghu Zi Mountain hurriedly began to flee, not even bothering to pay attention to other deathmatch fighters they encountered along the way.

Although it's uncertain whether we can escape, staying where we are will certainly mean certain death.

"Oh shit!"

"Even if it's a color-rating system, this is going too far!!"

"This is definitely a combination of abilities created by several lunatics; there's no escaping it. Who wants to cooperate with me? I have..."
