Bone-Burying Abyss
In the center of the battlefield.
Jiangnan used the Near Yet Far" (meaning "a world within reach") to describe the journey here.
But the next second, what happened on the battlefield made him frown.
Upon seeing him approach, the Qiongqi made an unusual move!
It did not attack the [Shadow Qiongqi].
Instead, it turned its wolf head and charged towards the [Skeleton Warrior] not far away!
"Huh? What does this beast want to do?"
Jiangnan looked down from his vantage point and asked, "Are you asking for reinforcements?"
However, it turned out that Jiangnan was wrong.
"Roar!"
Just as [Qiongqi] rushed in front of [Skeleton Warrior], it did not attack the Shadow that was fighting against it.
Instead, he swallowed it whole!
And in the brief moment it was swallowing...
The [Shadow Skeleton Warrior], who had been lurking on the edge of the battlefield, seized an opening!
It drew its Punishment Bow to its fullest extent!
"Buzz!"
A jet-black bone arrow, resembling a DNA double helix, was shot out!
At the same time, Jiangnan, atop the mountain, also sensed the change in Qiongqi's aura after it devoured its companion.
That's a sign of something unusual!
"Are you trying to fuse and evolve?"
Jiangnan's [Eye of Mobius] opened between his eyebrows, and he leaped up.
"Boom!"
The [Extinction Tribulation Light] slashed diagonally down from the sky!
Two devastating attacks struck Qiongqi, which had just swallowed the Skeleton Warrior, at the same moment!
"Boom!!!"
The earth-shaking explosion echoed through the Abyss.
The Extinction Tribulation Light pierced through Qiongqi's body, creating a bloody hole in its back!
The Shadow Punishment Arrow struck its abdomen, turning half of its flesh and blood into Void!
"Roar!!!"
The severely wounded Qiongqi let out a miserable howl, its body collapsed with a crash, and it convulsed and rolled on the ground in agony.
"Phew... Is it finally over?"
Chen Bin, who had just landed on the mountaintop, asked with lingering fear.
"No... it's far from over..."
A weak voice came from a natural trench at the edge of the battlefield.
The Su Country captain Yekater, who was hiding at the bottom of the trench, was now covered in sweat.
As the owner of the [Executor] Supernatural Ability, he knew better than anyone else present.
Just how bizarre and dangerous is this Supernatural Ability?
This is not a power that can be easily mastered by superhumans!
It's more like a living monster with its own independent will!
The extraordinary individuals are merely those who possess a summoning key.
"Qiongqi and the Skeleton Warrior are merely its outward appearances..."
"The third phase... the real [Executor] is coming..."
Yekater stared at the so-called corpse in the distance.
Then, he turned his attention to Jiangnan.
This man...
Can they stop that real monster?
In the center of the battlefield.
Jiangnan looked at Qiongqi.
Just then, the two cautious Shadow Qiongqi and Shadow Skeleton Warrior seemed to realize that their prey was not all dead.
They pounced on the corpse again, one from the left and one from the right!
But just as they were about to hunt!
"Crunch... crunch..."
The sound of bones dislocating suddenly came from deep within Qiongqi's corpse!
Immediately afterwards, a deafening boom!
A burst of dark blue flames erupted from Qiongqi's body!
Within the flames, Qiongqi's petrified leather armor and flesh rapidly melted and peeled away!
"Holy crap! There's a second level?!"
Chen Bin, who was just about to relax, was shocked and his eyes turned red.
Two scorching heat beams descended from the sky, attempting to work in conjunction with the two Shadow clones to nip the mutating monster in the bud!
The Shadow Clone possesses extremely high combat intelligence.
The [Shadow Qiongqi] was the fastest, and it lunged straight at the real body's still-burning neck, attempting to kill it with a single blow!
However, the next second, within that melting body, Qiongqi's spine, covered in barbs, suddenly bent and broke.
Then, covered in blood and bits of flesh, it slid out of the skin!
At the same time, a giant skeletal hand emerged from the flesh and grabbed the pulled-out spine.
With a flick of his wrist, the bone spine instantly transformed into a bone whip-like soft sword, slashing towards Shadow Qiongqi in mid-air!
But this was just a feint!
The Shadow Qiongqi was prepared; it made a sharp turn in mid-air and dodged the attack.
Just as Shadow Qiongqi created space, a DNA bone arrow shot out from behind it!
It was the [Shadow Skeleton Warrior] who fired the arrow of retribution!
It perfectly utilized the feint attack of the Shadow Qiongqi as cover, and launched a fatal blow while the old force of the spine sword had not yet dissipated!
The coordination between these two Shadow clones was textbook perfect, with virtually no flaws!
But...
They overlooked one variable.
That is...
A third party standing atop the mountain.
"Laugh!!!"
The two intense heat beams that Chen Bin descended from the sky actually...
It struck the arrow of retribution that was about to hit!
The impact sent the bone arrow flying off course and "emerging" into the nearby rock wall!
On the other side...
Jiangnan's eye twitched, and he unhesitatingly used the Near Yet Far.
With a flick of his leg, he sent Chen Bin, who was still in a launching posture, flying off the cliff!
"Holy crap!"
Chen Bin steadied himself in mid-air and cut off the heat vision.
He scratched his head, his face full of clear grievance, and shouted towards the mountaintop.
"Dragon God, please don't do it! I never expected this to happen!"
"This is a complete misunderstanding! A miracle of probability! Who knew that broken arrow would just happen to fall right into my line of sight!"
"Don't cause trouble here!"
Jiangnan cursed coldly.
And in the center of the battlefield.
The Shadow Skeleton Warrior had no time to pay attention to the arrow that had been deflected.
Seeing that its attack had failed, it panicked and broke two of its own ribs, using them as double swords.
He thrust his weapon at the burning body!
But it was precisely because of Chen Bin's disastrous blunder just now.
This gave the unfinished third phase a chance to catch its breath!
"Whoosh!!!"
A flash of white light!
The longsword, formed from the spine, swept across the flames!
"Snap!"
The Shadow Skeleton Warrior's spine sword cleaved him in two!
The mangled body fell to the ground, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
Immediately afterwards.
Amidst the ghostly blue flames, the skeletal warrior who had been swallowed by Qiongqi burst through its skin and stood up!
As it rose, flames rapidly converged upon it, condensing into a full suit of heavy armor!
Its [Punishment Bow] has also been transformed into [Crossbow Arm Bracer] fixed to the forearm.
The bone sword it held in its right hand, reforged in the flames, became even longer!
A perfect Fusion of Qiongqi and Skeleton Warrior.
The final form [Executor] has arrived!
"Click click click..."
Executor's cervical spine.
Then, it reached out its left hand and grabbed the [Shadow Qiongqi] that was trying to attack from behind!
"Roar!"
The Shadow Qiongqi struggled frantically.
But the Executor simply raised the Crossbow Arm Bracer and pressed it against the head of the Shadow Qiongqi.
"Bang!"
A blood-red beam of light pierced through!
The head of Shadow Qiongqi exploded, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
He effortlessly and instantly killed the two Shadow clones.
The Executor began to scan the entire battlefield.
Final.
Its gaze was fixed on a trench at the edge of the ruins.
That was Yekater's hiding place!
"Oh no!"
Yekater knew he was being targeted.
But he absolutely cannot let this monster catch him now!
According to the Su Country's top-secret research on this Supernatural Ability, once the out-of-control third stage [Executor] successfully peels off and puts on its master's skin...
It will overcome its flaws and become an ultimate monster several times more powerful than it is now!
"Run! We must get as far away from it as possible! We can't let it cause trouble for the Huaxia Person here!"
Yekater gritted his teeth, climbed out of the trench, and began a desperate sprint.
Seeing its prey flee, the berserk [Executor] raised its Crossbow Arm Bracer, about to unleash a fatal blow.
But in the very next second...
A voice sounded from behind the Executor.
"Not bad. Let me see what you're made of."
Unbeknownst to them, Jiangnan had already used the Near Yet Far technique to teleport behind the Executor.
Since this monster is so bizarre, don't blame him for being uncivilized.
"First, let me take you to the fourth dimension to experience the northwest wind."
Jiangnan pushed his hands outwards!
"The Fourth World!"
A layer of red light emanated from Jiangnan and enveloped the Executor.
Anyone touched by this ripple will be Banishment to the fourth dimension!
But just 0.01 seconds after the [Fourth World] realm began to unfold.
The [Executor] decisively gripped the spine sword in a reverse grip and plunged it towards his own feet!
"Sizzle!!!"
A piercing sound!
Jiangnan's pupils contracted.
He was shocked to see that the ripples in his own domain had been Disintegration apart!
Not only the Fourth World, but even the surrounding [Hall of Yama] was cleaved open by this sword!
"Territory destruction?"
Jiangnan immediately reviewed the situation, asking, "Is this similar to [The Fool]?"
"If this sword can defy the laws..."
"Doesn't that mean that even if I hide in the Fourth World, it can still hit me across dimensions..."
However, Jiangnan's analysis was not even finished yet.
"Bang!"
The Executor immediately drew his spine sword and turned to deliver a horizontal slash!
"Boom!"
Jiangnan, caught completely off guard, was struck directly by the sword!
He was sent flying backward, crashing through more than a dozen mountain walls before finally coming to a stop amidst the ruins.
