"Th-this is far too terrifying!"
"Heavens, how many souls did that take?"
As Gu You unleashed the Ten Thousand Soul Bone Armor, the ordinary soldiers atop the fortress paled. Its overwhelming might seemed to press directly upon their souls.
"I refuse to believe my Ten Thousand Soul Bone Armor can't withstand your attack!"
Once the bone armor took shape, the black skeleton jerked its head up to face the invisible fist imprint. An aged voice resounded across the sky.
Whoosh!
The instant Saint Gu You's hoarse voice faded, that invisible force shot toward him and slammed heavily into the enormous suit of bone armor.
Boom!
At the first instant of impact, heaven and earth fell silent, as though even the wind had vanished. That silence lasted only a moment before an earth-shaking explosion erupted in the sky, making the world itself tremble.
The ground within a thousand-zhang radius was scraped away at a speed visible to the naked eye. Enormous fissures spread continuously from deep underground, as though an earthquake had struck.
A faint crack suddenly sounded from the surface of the black skeleton towering in the sky. Then, beneath several astonished gazes, a shattered piece of bone armor fell away.
"It cracked!"
"Who can withstand the Xiao Emperor's attack?"
Countless warriors of the Xiao Empire cheered atop the fortress. From the might Blood River and Gu You had displayed, they could guess that both men were Dou Zun experts.
And since Xiao Zhan had defeated Blood River and Gu You so easily, his strength had to rank among the best of the Dou Zun.
Crack, crack!
In the sky, after the first piece of bone armor fell from the black skeleton, more and more pieces began drifting down like snowflakes.
Cracks swiftly spread across the black skeleton's enormous body.
