Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1095 - 1091: Undead Knight

"Huh?"

Shen Siyuan gazed at the sudden skeleton apparition in the void, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

That apparition was not a spirit but a projection of martial will condensed to the extreme, its spearhead directed at the sky, emanating a fierce and unstoppable aura.

He never expected that within this filthy Yangzhou Netherworld, there would be someone strong enough to refine their martial will to such a tangible extent.

This insight naturally came from the wisdom and experience inherited from the Jiuyou Demon Lord.

At the moment the apparition appeared, Duoduo in the air reacted the fastest, turning the Qiankun Umbrella handle without hesitation. Her figure retreated to Shen Siyuan’s side like lightning, the umbrella slightly opened to guard her surroundings vigilantly.

Xiao Yue was also swift, flipping her wrist as the soul-hooking chain flew like a spirit snake, precisely wrapping around Dou Dou’s waist to drag her back as if flying a kite.

Dou Dou hadn’t even reacted before she was pulled back to the ground by a force.

Their reactions contained some "cowardice," but more so the caution Shen Siyuan repeatedly emphasized: confront unknown powerful entities by avoiding their edge first, then plan a strategy.

"Potato, hurry and knock it down, or it’ll burst soon."

Dou Dou, who had just steadied, was more urgent than Shen Siyuan, standing on tiptoe and pointing at the spear with nervousness written all over her little face.

"Why the rush? Brother knows what he’s doing."

Xiao Yue retracted the soul-hooking chain, pulling Dou Dou to her side to prevent her from charging out recklessly.

"Don’t worry, a spear condensed with willpower can’t harm the Ten Thousand Soul Banner," Shen Siyuan said calmly, his hands making finger formulas.

Before his voice fell, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the void gently rippled.

The spear condensed from martial will in the air seemed to have its spirit extracted, suddenly wobbling like a drunken person, losing balance, and "clang" fell to the ground, splashing black mud.

Dou Dou watched, her eyes shining, and couldn’t help but praise, "Potato is awesome."

She had personally experienced the power of that spear; earlier, her copper hammer didn’t even budge it, instead, she was blown away by the martial force emanating from the spear. Now seeing Shen Siyuan resolve the crisis nonchalantly, her admiration grew.

"Of course, this is the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Xiao Yue’s lips raised in pride; as a banner soul coexisting with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, she knew more than anyone its power.

"When can I borrow the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to play with, Potato?" Dou Dou rubbed her hands, giggling.

"Wishful thinking." Xiao Yue flicked her forehead with a slightly annoying tone.

A banner soul letting the Banner Master lend the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to play; was that reasonable?

Shen Siyuan ignored their banter.

Though they chatted casually, their eyes remained vigilant, scanning their surroundings without relaxing. Having crawled out from the brutal encounters in the Coastal Netherworld, they had already developed the fighting quality of "busy mouths, calm hearts."

At this moment, the incense fire wishing power gushing from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner had covered dozens of miles around like a tide.

The red-gold power, carrying sanctity and warmth, dispersed the surrounding chill and filth completely; ordinary mud worms couldn’t survive in such an environment.

"Still hiding and not showing yourself?"

Shen Siyuan looked toward the distant void, his voice calm yet penetrating.

Before his words faded, the void rippled like water waves.

A towering figure emerged, clad in pitch-black armor, his entire body wrapped tightly, even his face hidden under a helmet, with only his eyes emitting two soul-piercing glows like an abyss.

Underneath him was a skeleton horse, its bones emitting a ghostly white light, its four hooves treading the void without the slightest sink.

The Undead Knight raised his hand, the spear fallen on the ground transformed into a stream of light, accurately landing in his hand.

The spear shook, shedding all the black mud sticking to it.

"Who are you?"

The Undead Knight asked sharply, his voice piercing as a knife on glass, painfully discomforting to the ears.

His body was surrounded by a faint layer of black light, isolating the flooding incense fire wishing power, unaffected by its erosion.

Shen Siyuan didn’t answer his question directly; instead, he nodded slightly, his tone peaceful in counter-questioning, "May I ask how to address this general?"

Before falling silent, the Undead Knight suddenly moved!

The black light around him surged instantly, his skeleton horse reared its head in a silent scream, its four hooves stepping the void, charging with fierce Yin Wind.

The spear in his hand condensed dense black fog, martial will blending with the nether chill force, the spear tip turned into a dark black lightning, thrusting toward Shen Siyuan’s heart with speed too fast to react.

"Watch out."

Xiao Yue’s soul-hooking chain streaked like lightning, attempting to bind the spear, but it was repelled by the chilling aura emanating from the spear before getting close.

Duoduo rotated the Qiankun Umbrella, instantly shielding everyone, while Dou Dou wielded twin hammers, striking sparks awaiting the opponent’s approach anxiously.

Yet Shen Siyuan’s calm remained as if foreseen.

His wrist turned lightly, a radiant divine sword appeared in his palm, swiftly meeting the spear’s attack.

In an instant, the sword light, like a rainbow piercing the night sky, collided with the spear tip.

"Clang~"

A deafening metallic clamor exploded, the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword precisely blocking the spear, its body radiating Five Elements Magnetic Force clashing with the spear’s icy martial will.

The Undead Knight felt a surge of overwhelming attraction and repulsion concurrently, the spear stably absorbed by the magnetic force, unable to advance any further.

"Why did you suddenly strike?"

Holding the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword, Shen Siyuan’s tone remained calm, but his gaze intensified coldly.

The Undead Knight pulled back the spear abruptly, his form floating backward several yards, rolling black light around him, the eerie glow beneath his helmet flickering uncertainly.

He let out a sharp laugh, like an owl screeching at night, piercing in discomfort, "Hahaha... Why ask what’s obvious?"

"You’re a living being, they’re Yin Gods, with such massive incense fire wishing power, clearly anomalies intruding the Netherworld from the Mortal World."

His hand pointed toward Shen Siyuan and the others, his tone unabashedly greedy.

"As long as I devour your flesh and souls, I can discover the skill to move through the Netherworld, finally escaping this sunless prison."

He had been entrenched here for years, weary of the Netherworld’s silence and filth, longing for a way back to the Mortal World.

The worldly aura and incense fire wishing power on Shen Siyuan and the others became a beacon in the darkness, igniting his ambition instantly.

In this case, there’s nothing more to say, it’s time to fight for victory.

Shen Siyuan wielded the Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword again, but this time, arcs of light flashed along the blade.
