Monarch of Time
chapter-218

Each of these undead knights was more than 3m(9.8ft) tall, while wisps of red ember were shining in their eye sockets.

Additionally, the aura that the 2 knights were emitting was actually stronger than the white skeletons', and was almost identical to Liu Mei's... the early rank 6 in Heaven grade.

The spiky-haired squad captain was the first one to return to his senses when he saw the 2 dozens of undead creatures marching towards his subordinates, as he then shouted

''Retreat! Step back!''

Even though the 2 undead knights were only at the early rank 6 in Heaven grade, faced with so many undead creatures, the spiky-haired man could only call for a retreat.

After all, skeletons and undead knights were practically non-existent in the Night star continent, so the creepy scene in front of the spiky-haired man's eyes didn't allow him to think properly, as he hurriedly called for a retreat.

His 4 subordinates were instantly jolted back to their senses once they heard their captain's voice, as they turned around and ran towards him.

Feeling a bit more confident near his squad leader, one of the young men next to him couldn't help asking, as he looked at the undead knights that were marching towards them

''Captain! What are these skeletons? Is this some kind of Dao as well?''

The other 3 young men also turned their attention to their squad leader as they awaited his response.

After all, he was the most knowledgeable among them as well.

To their disappointment however, the spiky-haired man shook his head as he responded seriously

''I don't know but there is no reason to be afraid!

Even the giant knights are barely at your level, while the skeletons are simply rank 5 Heaven grade weaklings!

Fight together and break through their entrapment!''

The spiky-haired man raised his head to look at Liu Mei, as he then added

''Once I get my hands on this bitch, I will make her regret her ever being born!

I don't believe that she can call more of these creatures!''

Shun Long didn't interfere with Liu Mei's fight, as he watched the 2 undead knights, each of them leading a dozen skeletons as they marched towards the group of 5 in front of them.

The undead knights brandished their 2m(6.6ft) long greatswords, as they hacked towards the group in front of them.

The spiky-haired man snorted when he saw this, as he charged forward while holding his saber, taking on the 2 undead knights by himself.

Meanwhile, his 4 subordinates were actually besieged by the more than 20 white skeletons.

Although the 2 undead knights were strong, with their aura at the early rank 6 in Heaven grade, they immediately fell in a disadvantage fighting against a rank 7 Heaven grade cultivator.

However, even though they were at a disadvantage, the 2 undead knights were still hanging on against the squad captain's attacks.

After all, as undead creatures, even when the first undead knight was riddled with injuries and had even lost one of his arms, he still held his greatsword with the other one as he kept fighting.

The spiky-haired man's 4 subordinates however weren't as lucky.

Although each of them was individually stronger than the undead creatures in front of them, against 2 dozens of these jade-white skeletons, their bodies were soon filled with injuries.

After all, there were more than 20 skeletons and only 4 of them.

Additionally, the skeletons were all at the peak of rank 5 in Heaven grade, and when they gathered together, they easily suppressed the 4 early rank 6 Heaven grade cultivators.

Shun Long was actually surprised when he saw that Liu Mei wasn't actively controlling neither the skeletons nor the undead knights.

It seemed that the undead creatures had a certain level of intelligence by themselves, while the undead knights seemed to have plenty of combat experience too.

Seeing the situation that his 4 subordinates were in, the spiky-haired man's saber lit up, as he used a Yellow high-grade martial skill and cut one of the undead knights in half.

The undead knight's body fell on the ground, immediately turning into a pile of dust.

Liu Mei however waved her left hand in the air, instantly creating another ball of death qi.

The ball of death qi then fell on the ashes of the undead knight, and under the horrified eyes of the spiky-haired man, the knight's body was soon reformed back to its original state.

The spiky-haired squad captain's eyes widened in fear, once he saw the knight he had just destroyed being resurrected in front of him.

He was originally intending to quickly deal with the second undead knight as well before he moved to help his subordinates, but no matter how many times he ended up destroying the 2 knights, the woman in front of him would always bring them back to life.

Under the white skeletons' unstoppable barrage of attacks, one of the spiky-haired man's subordinates was soon stabbed by one of the skeletons' bone-white sword.

The 3 young men around him had a look of terror in their eyes, as they watched the body that lifelessly collapsed on the ground.

With one less person to defend against the skeletons' attacks, the other 3 of them soon followed suit, leaving only the spiky-haired man who was still fighting against the undead knights.

Seeing his subordinates dying one after the other, an anxious look flashed through the man's eyes, and yet, it was already too late to escape as the 2 undead knights had stuck on the spiky-haired man like 2 heavy anchors.

As the white skeletons joined hands with the 2 black-armored undead knights, the spiky-haired man found himself in a disadvantage.

It felt like he was fighting against more than 20 peak rank 5 Heaven grade cultivators, who didn't fear pain or death, and 2 early rank 6 ones.

A quarter of an hour later, the spiky-haired man's body had lost all signs of life as it fell on the ground next to his 4 subordinates.

Liu Mei didn't even spare a look at the 5 dead bodies on the ground, as she then put her white veil back on her face, before she and Shun Long continued ascending the mountain.

On the way, they found more than 4 patrolling squads which Liu Mei's small army eventually dealt with.

Only once did they find a rank 9 Heaven grade cultivator, who effortlessly destroyed more than a dozen skeletons, before Shun Long stepped in.

After dealing with the last patrolling squad, Shun Long and Liu Mei had already entered near the heart of the mountain range, just a few miles away from a large waterfall where a luxurious villa was built on.

This was the den of the rank 3 Spirit realm criminal, Hao Jingguo.
