Several fleeing players looked back, their expressions filled with even more fear.
“It’s Ghost Jack indeed! Damn it, why would we run into him here!”
“This fellow has a bounty of over thirty million Starlight coins, a high-level wanted criminal!”
“He’s treating us like prey, damn it!!”
They were both afraid and angry, squeezing out all their potential to flee. Meanwhile, Ghost Jack maintained a certain distance and slowly pursued them, just like playing with his prey.
The players grew increasingly desperate.
At this point, General Dead Bone had already hidden in a nearby alley. A wisp of black mist released from its palm merged with the surrounding environment and a faint domain power enveloped all personnel.
One of General Dead Bone’s creeds: never to intervene in anything beyond the mission.
Once these players ran far away, they could continue their journey.
But then the Ghost clad in a black cloak stopped in his tracks. After standing still for three to four seconds, his head suddenly twisted ninety degrees, turning towards Dead Bone. His eyes, which were deeply sunk in, widened, and the corners of his mouth turned upwards.
“Found you, more interesting prey.”
He swung his knife suddenly. His dark red Knife Intent, filled with extreme killing intent, spread out from him, causing all the creatures hidden in the surrounding black mist, which wanted to pounce out, to tremble and shrink back again.
Isloa’s pupils contracted.
“This Artistic Conception…”
It’s stronger than hers! It carried the intent to slaughter everything, as if all enemies standing before him were pigs and sheep that had their necks washed and were ready for slaughter.
No wonder, the obviously not weak Goblin Warrior was killed without any resistance earlier.
Under the cover of Knife Intent and killing intent, it indeed had no power to resist.
General Dead Bone frowned slightly and sighed softly.
He also suddenly swung out an equally fierce and unmatched Shadow Slash, which collided with the red glow of the killing intent of the knife. The sharp energy spewed out, making the surrounding earth riddled with holes.
A raging black flame also burned around General Dead Bone, and he stared at the Ghost from a hundred meters away.
‘It’s time to retreat.’
Dead Bone thought.
He openly displayed his powerful strength on purpose, without covering the ‘special effects’. This was to let the enemy weigh his strength.
According to normal logic, players in the wild are unwilling to confront enemies they are not fully confident about. Even hunters would worry about the prey being too strong which may result in their own injuries.
Getting injured in the wild is a big taboo.
However, Ghost Jack was a lunatic who never talked about normal logic.
He just looked more delighted, like a wolf seeing a beautiful woman. His momentum and Artistic Conception seemed even more rampant and terrifying, like a tide rolling over.
Dead Bone: “???”
Is this even logical?
He had no choice. Through Spiritual Link he told Duo Lai, Isloa and others, “You go and save people first, I will be there later.”
“But this ghost… He has a double Artistic Conception that can be fused, and his level is far above ours.”
And General Dead Bone’s level was even below General Duo Lai. No matter how good he was at fighting, he had his limits.
Isloa made a lot of sense, and Dead Bone agreed with her.
“This is indeed a very terrifying enemy. However, as long as we finish rescuing the target, we can leave at any time. You understand, right?”
Lord was overseeing their team, so Dead Bone was assured.
Isloa understood.
General Duo Lai scratched his head. 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝔩.𝔠𝖔𝔪
They continued towards their destination, while General Dead Bone blocked the overwhelming momentum of the Ghost and initiated a counterattack, as invisible powers of the Curse descended one after another.
The Ghost’s body slightly sunk, but his twisted smile was still there. He licked his lips and lunged forward like a shadow.
Swords and knives clashed repeatedly.
Almost all the attacks were from the Ghost, but Dead Bone’s defense was also solid. It seemed that in terms of power and speed, he was not at a significant disadvantage compared to the Warlord Level Ghost.
“A great enemy, indeed.”
Dead Bone’s gaze was solemn.
Ghost Jack retreated dozens of meters away and started to laugh creepily. He even flipped the blade of his knife and slashed his body, making several wounds.
The bright red blood flowed out, flowing into the blade, which made the long knife look more eerie and terrifying. The Artistic Conception around his body seemed to materialize, showing a faint red, covering dozens of meters around him.
Suffocating!
Extremely suffocating killing intent spread out.
Even the players who had fled a good distance felt a tightness in their chests and found it hard to breathe.
“It’s over, this brave man is going to die!”
“This brave man doesn’t seem weak either, he just defended against Ghost’s several moves.”
“You know nothing, just now the Ghost was merely playing with his prey. Now he’s going for a real attack. I’ve heard a bit about this move. It’s a killing move drawn by his own blood after integrating several knifing skills and killing intent Artistic Conception. It carries dozens of technique variations, and it’s extraordinarily powerful.”
“You can’t dodge it, you can’t block it either!”
“This brave man is definitely going to lose. We’d better run, too. Otherwise, we’ll be next.”
The rolling killing intent, 99% of it falls on Dead Bone.
As the Ghost slashed, the scattered faint Artistic Conception of killing intent that had already materialized around him, surged like a blood wave. The killing intent was overwhelming.
The rolling Knife Intent also tore the ground, frozen space, and made the surrounding black mist keep retreating.
Dead Bone attacked back.
It seemed like a common sword move, just like before. But,
Hum
The moment Wailing Death collided with the red Knife Intent, the vast power was truly revealed.
It was as if a towering mountain, covered with skeletons, stood behind Dead Bone. Undead on the mountain shouted its name. Stars of Undead energy gathered to form streams, forming a river that flowed from Wraith Sacred Mountain, down to Dead Bone, through refining and pressing for dozens of times, integrated through dozens of techniques, then merged with several high-level skills, and finally burst out from the black giant sword.
It transformed into the shocking and unadorned Stygian River!
With a dominant force, it swept away everything in its path.
What Knife Intent, killing intent, blood tide, whether tangible or intangible, all dissipated, only the Stygian River was roiling along, completely engulfing the Ghost who was maintaining the slashing pose, and crashed into the buildings in the distance.
The buildings also went under the gradually dissipative Stygian River.
Dead Bone wiped the sweat that couldn’t possibly exist on his skull and looked at the missing corpse of the Ghost, only then did he feel slightly relieved.
He pondered again that this move was not perfect enough.
Far away,
Duo Lai and others hadn’t run far when they saw the rolling black river overwhelmingly swallowing the ‘incredibly tiny’ Ghost.
Isloa looked at the clean and tidy road, which was devoid of a speck of dust and had sunk quite a lot, and then at General Dead Bone standing in the middle of the road, completely calm and relaxed.
She fell into contemplation.
She came to a conclusion.
“So this is what General meant by ‘will be there later’, isn’t it?”
