Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 532 - 527: Battle with the Undead Centipede
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian lost their composure completely when they heard this, their eyes widening in shock.
If three powerhouses of the Saint Realm couldn't escape this Skeleton Forest, how powerful must this Undead Centipede be?
"Split up and run, we're definitely no match for this thing!"
Ye Feng made a quick decision and immediately ordered everyone to escape. He could sense the terrifying might of the Undead Centipede, far more formidable than any enemies or monsters he had ever faced before!
In his heart, he felt helpless, never expecting to be this unlucky. This was only his second time entering the Outer Battlefield, and he had already encountered such a situation. This kind of luck was truly unmatched.
Roar!!
Just as Ye Feng issued the order, the massive Undead Centipede suddenly let out a roar like a hurricane blasting towards them. The howling wind was extremely forceful.
Ye Feng instantly activated his Spirit Essence Barrier, attempting to forcefully block the shockwave of the roar, but in front of this powerful impact, the barrier shattered instantly, as if it were made of paper.
Ye Feng's complexion changed; Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were right behind him. With their strength, if hit by this shockwave, they would definitely be severely injured!
"Emperor's Armor!"
"Spear of the Ancestral Dragon!"
Ye Feng kept shouting, his body shining with golden light. The Emperor's Armor condensed around his form, and the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon in his hand glowed brilliantly. He spun it quickly to block the incoming shockwave!
Boom!
The shockwave collided with the Spear of the Ancestral Dragon, forcing Ye Feng to retreat step by step. His arms trembled wildly, and even the spear in his hand risked shattering. Cracks also started to appear on the Emperor's Armor he wore, but in the end, he managed to block the shockwave. However, blood was now spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"My lord!"
Xiao Chuanqi and the others shouted, their faces full of concern.
Ye Feng turned back and said sternly, "I'm fine, you guys go first, I'll hold this thing off!"
Despite saying so, Ye Feng was immensely shocked inside. Just a single roar almost overwhelmed him; what kind of strength did this Undead Centipede possess?
"No, it's too dangerous, my lord, let's go together!"
Shadow gritted her teeth, clearly reluctant to leave Ye Feng behind on his own.
The others were equally anxious, as they too recognized the overwhelming power of the Undead Centipede. Ye Feng was likely no match for it!
As the roar of the Undead Centipede ended, the ground of the Withered Wood Forest shook again, and from the black soil emerged stark white bones, as skeleton after skeleton popped out from the earth. Some were humanoid, some were beastly, all their skulls covered with a black glow, emitting a not-so-weak aura.
Ye Feng glanced at the skeletons surrounding them, his expression growing even graver. These skeletons...
Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian were petrified by the skeletons around them. All of them were mere bones, but now they were rushing towards them, even wielding weapons made from bones. The dense aura of death was so heavy that it almost suffocated them.
"What in the world are these things?"
Gai Jiuyou felt his scalp tingle. Although he had previously been in the Outer Battlefield, his mind had been lost to madness, and he couldn't remember anything clearly after regaining consciousness.
Ye Feng's face was solemn; he knew these skeleton monsters must have been summoned by that roar of the Undead Centipede. Moreover, each skeleton emitted an aura of Martial King level, and some humanoid skeletons even had the aura of Peak Martial Kings!
"These are likely the alien beasts or humans who strayed into the Skeleton Forest before, refined by this Undead Centipede."
Ye Feng surmised, recognizing some of these skeletons as the Spirit-devouring Ant Beasts they had encountered earlier.
Everyone was shocked by the realization that if they died here, they would also be refined into these skeleton people.
With more and more skeletons surrounding them, Ye Feng knew they couldn't delay any longer, especially with the terrifying presence of the Undead Centipede up ahead!
"You guys fight your way out, I'll hold off this Undead Centipede. Don't worry, I have a way to save myself. Now go, this is an order!"
Ye Feng bellowed. The Emperor's Armor around him recondensed, and he now wielded a jet-black long spear as he steeled himself to charge at the Undead Centipede.
Shadow looked at Ye Feng's retreating figure and bit her lip, "I'll go help my lord!"
She was worried about Ye Feng's safety and wanted to assist. Even if they couldn't win, she felt compelled to contribute her strength.
Just as Shadow was about to rush forward, Xiao Chuanqi firmly held her back. She then heard Xiao Chuanqi's roaring voice in her ears, "Don't be insane. We'd only be a burden to our lord if we go there. Let's break out first and make a path for our lord!"
Xiao Chuanqi's eyes were red with reluctance and anger, but he was well aware that they couldn't even withstand a single roar from the Undead Centipede, let alone fight against it.
Sima Zhantian, Gai Jiuyou, Leng Wuming, and Cao Jing's eyes were also filled with rage, yet they understood they must escape to prevent Ye Feng from being distracted.
Xiao Chuanqi faced the skeleton army, wielding the Immortal Sword from within him in his hands, and charged forth while roaring out loud, "Slash!"
The sword light flashing with flowing radiance chopped towards a Martial King Level skeleton in front of them. With a clang, the Martial King Level skeleton was knocked flying, tumbling over ten meters away.
However, the Martial King Level skeleton quickly got up from the ground and charged towards Xiao Chuanqi and the others again.
Everyone was taken aback. In Xiao Chuanqi's hands was the Immortal Sword of Mount Shu. A full-force strike could severely injure even a Peak Martial King, yet now this skeleton got up without any damage.
"Damn it, these skeletons are too tough!"
Xiao Chuanqi cursed and was also extremely shocked.
"We can't kill them, but we can repel them. Let's stick together and fight our way through!"
Shadow quickly made a calm assessment, also summoning their own weapon, and glanced back at Ye Feng rushing towards the Undead Centipede before biting their lip and charging towards those skeletons.
Sima Zhantian also took out the Immortal Blade. The other four also had grave expressions as they all exerted their full Combat Power and charged in one direction.
Elsewhere, Ye Feng saw that the others had already charged in a certain direction and let out a sigh of relief. He could tell that those skeletons were difficult to deal with, their bodies incredibly tough, and nearly impossible to kill, but fortunately, they could be repelled.
He hoped they could break through.
With this thought in mind, Ye Feng turned back and stared at the gigantic Undead Centipede before him.
He couldn't see the eyes of the Undead Centipede, only a mass of black light enveloping it. He decided to aim for the head wrapped in black light!
Ye Feng made up his mind, his Sky-breaking Long Spear already thrust forward. The spear, like a black meteor, smashed towards the head of the Undead Centipede enveloped in black light.
Boom!
When the Sky-breaking Long Spear struck the Undead Centipede, a powerful rebounding force was transmitted, sending Ye Feng flying back over a dozen meters. Ye Feng quickly stabilized his figure, his arm still trembling where he held the Sky-breaking Long Spear.
"It really is damn hard!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but complain. With his current strength, one strike from the Sky-breaking Long Spear could shatter even a mountaintop. Yet, in front of this Undead Centipede, it seemed completely ineffective, and he ended up rattled by the rebound.
It seemed Ye Feng's strike had thoroughly enraged the Undead Centipede. The aura of death around it burst forth once more, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees. A thick black beam shot out from the Centipede's head!
Ye Feng's complexion changed dramatically; the black beam gave him an intense sense of palpitations. He couldn't take it!
With hairs standing on end, Ye Feng rapidly moved his body, narrowly avoiding the black beam by a hair's breadth.
The black beam struck where Ye Feng had been standing moments before. A large portion of the Skeleton Legion instantly turned to ash, and even the ground where the beam hit formed a deep, bottomless pit. The withered trees surrounding the pit were emitting black smoke, corroding away.
Ye Feng was shocked at the scene: "What the hell is this?"
He had just seen Xiao Chuanqi wield the Immortal Sword against these skeletons without being able to harm them in the slightest, yet a casual spit from this Undead Centipede annihilated a swath of its own troops.
Ye Feng thought about it and decided to call it saliva for now.
Ye Feng became even more vigilant, his aura soaring to its peak. Facing this creature, the slightest carelessness could spell disaster. He didn't even dare to bring out the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, for if the creature's saliva could not be blocked by the scroll, that would be a huge loss.
Now he just needed to delay. Once Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian broke out of the Skeleton Forest, there should be no problem.
According to rumors, there should be no danger outside the Skeleton Forest. Only within the Skeleton Forest, few who entered survived.
At that moment, Ye Feng noticed that where the Undead Centipede had destroyed a group of skeletons, little black light spots were converging toward him.
Ye Feng was puzzled but then discovered that the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll in the Sea of Consciousness of the Heavenly Heart Palace was vibrating lightly, unfolding and activating, absorbing these black light spots and converting them into strands of Source of Energy through the scroll's transformation!
Ye Feng was elated at this. Good lord, it turned out that these black light spots could be absorbed and transformed by the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll. This made him immediately think of a method.
He might not be able to cut down the Skeleton Legion, but he could let the Undead Centipede do the killing and then sit back and reap all the black light spots for himself.
Looking at the dense skeletons on the ground, Ye Feng was almost ready to bloom with joy. If all these skeletons were annihilated, the quantity of the black light spots would be terrifying. However, he would have to continuously provoke the creature and also dodge quickly. If he were to get hit by the creature's saliva, he'd be done for.
"Hey, big skeleton, look at my Great Seal!"
Ye Feng shouted loudly and immediately used the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal!

A golden Seal appeared in the sky and then descended from above. The Seal plummeted rapidly, as if there was a golden Great Hand wielding it, slamming it down onto the Undead Centipede's head shrouded in black light.
Rumbling noises erupted, and the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal repelled the Undead Centipede a bit, but it was just a bit before it turned into golden fragments and dispersed in the air.
"Roar!!"
The Undead Centipede seemed to be angered once again, its bony tentacles flailing wildly, and several black beams sprayed out from its black-light head.
Seeing multiple black beams jetting out at once, Ye Feng exclaimed in alarm, "Crap, it's going all out!"
