Return Voyage (Third Update)

With a powerful "Wild Bite" punch, Bai Xiaowen felt much more at ease.

As expected, in order to kill Bai Xiaowen, the White Ghost Queen transformed into a physical form, making her vulnerable to physical attacks!

After Bai Xiaowen landed a punch, he followed up with a series of attacks, stepping forward and striking White Ghost Queen with an elbow strike that left him unsteady on his feet, before delivering another powerful elbow strike.

The White Ghost Queen a miserable scream. This set of Flame Combat Arts was a combination of physical damage and magical damage (fire). Although it was Advanced Boss, its constitution was only 30 points, and its defense was far inferior to that of the Black Zombie King. It lost more than 100 points of Life Value in one combo, and its current Life Value was less than 100 points.

However, the White Ghost Queen's counterattack was also fierce and ruthless. She extended her Spectral Claw and suddenly grabbed Bai Xiaowen's arms. Her cherry-like mouth instantly opened wide and turned into a blood-red maw full of fangs, biting down on Bai Xiaowen's neck.

Bai Xiaowen only had time to turn her head slightly before the bite landed on Bai Xiaowen shoulder, causing excruciating pain.

Seeing the White Ghost Queen imminent danger, the Black Zombie King roared and pounced fiercely.

Earthshaking Leap!

Fortunately, the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier he had just summoned were still beside Bai Xiaowen. Bai Xiaowen endured the excruciating pain, accurately judged the landing point of the Black Zombie King's attack, and ordered the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier to take a small step forward.

Boom! The shockwave stunned the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, while Bai Xiaowen was severely slowed down.

The Black Zombie King's withered claws suddenly lunged at Bai Xiaowen.

This grab felt so irresistible to Bai Xiaowen, as if there was a powerful suction force on the Black Zombie King's claws. Despite his best efforts to retreat, Bai Xiaowen was slowly drawn towards it, as if he were walking in space.

Spirit Realm Rules Message:

"Black Zombie King's skill: Absorb (River Crab) Essence Blood activated."

Bai Xiaowen had already summoned all the Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier he had reserved for Block skills, so he could no longer use Targeted Airdrop.

Bai Xiaowen remained calm and activated the shield provided by his necklace, [The Arbiter's Resolve], which could absorb 72 points of damage. In addition, Bai Xiaowen also had the Life Sharing of the Rageclaw, making it virtually impossible for the Black Zombie King to kill him in one go.

However, at this moment, a whooshing sound rang out, and the Vampire Kitz used his Bat Transformation ability to fly over, appearing in front of the Black Zombie King and materializing. The Black Zombie King grabbed the Vampire Kitz's chest, and then his mouth, with its sharp fangs, bit down on the Vampire Kitz's carotid artery.

The Black Zombie King took a bite, but its furry face contorted in pain as it forcefully pushed Kitz away. Although its expression was unclear, the look of disgust was perfectly evident.

Bai Xiaowen suddenly realized that the Vampire Kitz was different from humans; the blood in his body was all dead blood.

To the Black Zombie King, human blood is delicious, while Kitz's blood... is probably about the same as poop.

The Vampire Kitz was a little confused, then said angrily, "You're underestimating people... no, you're underestimating the undead! I've never seen Zombie as picky as you before!"

Bai Xiaowen felt relieved, White Ghost Queen, and slammed him down like a sack of potatoes.

Kusanagi-Style Ancient Martial Arts - Flash Shoulder Throw!

After repeatedly using the Kusanagi Sword's Orochi Nagi skill, Bai Xiaowen's control over the Kusanagi Blood became increasingly proficient, and he even mastered these close-range throwing techniques. His strength value was as high as 22 points, much higher than White Ghost Queen's, so the throwing judgment passed without a doubt.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, White Ghost Queen screamed again as its Life Value plummeted. Fortunately, it had now returned to a physical form and would no longer suffer additional damage from spells. However, the 10 Bane of Evil true damage from the "Lightning Strike" spell remained undiminished!

With only a dozen or so Life Value remaining, White Ghost Queen Bai Xiaowen pulled out his Desert Eagle and shot him dead.

It sounded as if the wails of countless Vengeful Spirit women's souls had been heard, lasting only for a moment. Then, the ghostly body of the White Ghost Queen turned into countless specks of light and exploded and disappeared, leaving only a large Golden Treasure Chest behind.

Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief. White Ghost Queen who was good at controlling it, the remaining Black Zombie King would be much easier to deal with.

Although the Black Zombie King possesses extraordinary strength and abnormal physical defense, its slow movements are its greatest weakness. It needs the White Ghost Queen's control skills to maximize its combat power. Now that the White Ghost Queen is dead, the Black Zombie King is at best a competent punching bag.

Furthermore, the Bone Warlock's Lightning Strike damage is not only unaffected by the Black Zombie King's [Bronze Hide and Iron Bones] damage reduction, but also inflicts additional true Bane of Evil. Due to the difference in spirit between the two sides, the true damage reaches as high as 15 points!

The Bone Warlock's damage output immediately topped the charts, until Li Shuyi activated the Demonfire Dance, which surpassed it.

The Black Zombie King's other skills include Earthshaking Leap, which requires charging, and Corpse-Poison Miasma, which can be dodged in advance. As for the final skill, Blood Drain (from the River Crab), just have Kitz rush in...

Finally, the Black Zombie King's towering body collapsed to the ground with a thud, and the crimson light in its eyes slowly faded.

Bai Xiaowen collected the Golden Treasure Chest dropped by the two Advanced Boss, and then returned to the small boat with Zhang Ting and other Ming Army soldiers. Without White Ghost Queen's control, the seaweed would no longer bother them.

When Zhang Ting saw Bai Xiaowen, he felt somewhat ashamed. He bowed deeply, repeatedly thanking Bai Xiaowen for saving his life, and admitted his mistake for acting without authorization.

Bai Xiaowen didn't care. In a sense, Zhang Ting and the other ten were Bai Xiaowen's vanguard. Since he couldn't stop them, Bai Xiaowen simply didn't try to stop them. After all, the mission to deliver messages on the Mistveil Main Island didn't require combat, so whether Zhang Ting and the other ten were there or not didn't matter.

After returning to the large ship, Zhang Ting and the other surviving Ming Army soldiers went to rest, while the other soldiers sailed away.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi hid in one of the cabins, taking stock of the spoils of the battle.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful, because the monsters on Ghost Reef, whether Zombie or Vengeful Spirit, were all of Elite Tier or lower, greatly increasing the growth rate of the Black Soul Stone, which has now climbed to 451/1000.

After strengthening the Skeleton Mage, the remaining 101 Soul Essence were also increased accordingly, bringing the Soul Essence to 196. Just 4 more points are needed to unlock the "Summon Vengeful Spirit" enhancement option.

"Alright, now it's time for the fun part: opening the treasure chests..." Bai Xiaowen chuckled and brought out two Golden Treasure Chest.

The first thing to open is the treasure chest White Ghost Queen, which contains sixteen gold cards that appear in a burst of golden light.

The golden light of the gold card was enough to make many awakened individuals envious, but Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were already used to it.
