Chapter 1630: Chapter 192 Skeleton King_4
The dark yellow light flickered in the Skeleton Emperor’s eyes, and the black skulls that formed its body suddenly scattered, rolling everywhere. Ah Dai’s powerful sword strike hit empty space, but even so, the vast sword energy of the Sumeru Sword carved a deep trench into the ground. Under the sword light, any skull touched turned into dust.
A piercing scream resounded, as if numerous vengeful spirits were demanding repayment, continually striking fear into everyone present. Larthas promptly commanded his magicians to launch a fire magic attack, targeting the black skulls rolling on the ground. As the magicians chanted their spells, the skulls suddenly flew into the air, fiercely heading towards everyone. They moved with astonishing speed and emitted a strong, pungent odor, almost instantly reaching the Judges’ outer defenses.
The Holy Judges and Judges of Light demonstrated their rightful strength at the critical moment, a vast curtain of light glowing from them, forming solid barriers of divine energy to block the skulls’ assault. Ah Dai’s figure flickered, the Sumeru Sword slashing, and numerous skulls perished in his hands. Only his attacks could completely destroy these tough skulls; the Holy and Light Judges could only arduously hold on.
The three Sword Saints exchanged glances, knowing that it was time for them to act. Blue, red, and green energies burst from behind the Judges, easing much of their pressure under the powerful attacks of the Sword Saints. At this moment, the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon appeared again, with Larthas, Gorisong, and Kino guiding three purple giant dragons into the mass of black skulls.
At that moment, aside from the black skulls eliminated by Ah Dai and the three Sword Saints, the others attacking the Judges and the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon began to explode. Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom — the violent explosions left Ah Dai temporarily dazed. Each explosion brought forth a cloud of black fog, and the shock waves were powerful. The three Purple Flame Soaring Dragons shrank over hundreds of black skull explosions, and their fire energy was utterly ineffective against the black fog. Ah Dai thought it bad, soared into the air, and rapidly reached the front of the Judges, shouting, "Everyone be careful, those black fogs might be toxic." As he shouted, four or five Light Judges with weaker martial skills were contaminated by the black gas before they could shield themselves. Their bodies were corroding quickly, turning into black liquid within moments, leaving only their skeletons, which still wielded their original weapons and attacked their former comrades. Although not as powerful as the previous three earth-yellow Skeleton Kings, they were much stronger than the blue and grey skeletons. The transformation of their comrades shocked the Judges, who could no longer perform at full strength. In the blink of an eye, three more Light Judges turned into black skeletons.
Ah Dai was alarmed. Just as he was at a loss on how to deal with the situation, a clear long whistle rang out, blue light suddenly flashed, a figure transformed into countless blue beams, forcibly restraining the skulls and the black fog’s onslaught. Under the blue light, the black fog congealed into droplets, falling to the ground. At this time, most magicians had also completed their fire attack magic. The liquid black fog lost much of its power and was instantly consumed by the flames. From the blue figure in the air came a few clear words, "Gentle breeze, bright moon, sword." The blue light flying through the air gradually changed, turning into a blue and white blend, softly floating as if leaves landing among the skulls. Ah Dai clearly sensed the tremendous energy contained in those bluish lights; even he would find it hard to deal with such an attack. From the phrase "Gentle Breeze Bright Moon Sword," he concluded that the blue figure was none other than the Eastern Sword Saint Yun Ying, second only to his own master among the four great Sword Saints, and only he possessed such strength.
Under the influence of the blue light, the charge and explosion of the black skulls were entirely curtailed. The gentle breeze-like energy turned each fierce black skull into ashes. Ah Dai was amazed to discover that within Yun Ying’s Gentle Breeze Bright Moon energy lay the fusion of wind and water attributes of energy. Secretly astounded, he realized why Yun Ying could become one of the four great Sword Saints; this was clearly a fusion of energies! Using the gentle breeze to shred the skulls and the bright moon energy to purify the black fog in the air, such a magical display of energy left him in awe, deeply admiring. Seizing this opportunity, Ah Dai moved quickly, targeting almost ten Light Judges who had transformed into black skeletons. He could not allow any more Judges to suffer such harm.
Facing what was a moment ago their comrades turned enemies, all the Judges hesitated. Although they were not weaker than these skeletons, they couldn’t bring themselves to attack.
