Before the Skeleton King could unleash any more skills with his two bone knives, his body half-levitated, one hand firmly gripping the bladeless sword, while the other gently rested against its edge.

Seamless gashes pierced Long Haoyu's palms, and a chilling sensation instantly swept over his entire body, yet his limbs and bones seemed to be completely revived at that moment.

Sensing the changes within himself, Long Haoyu revealed a calm smile.

Wufeng collided with the bone knife again, but without the initial awkwardness. Wufeng even managed to cut a few centimeters into the bone knife.

On the bone knife, a visible notch began to open up, becoming the same size as the notch on the blunt blade.

At the same time, a surge of spiritual power erupted from the spiritual aperture in Long Haoyu's heart, and the spiritual energy surging in his body reached its peak.

The state of being a semi-perfect self also began in an instant.

The slightly modified Nine Forms of Demon Slaying are displayed from the Edgeless Form.

As the spiritual energy erupted from Wufeng, Long Haoyu's voice rang out: "Slay Nine - Overturn Heaven - Break!"

Chapter 348. Skill Imbuement (Chapter 345): Crescent Cross Charge

boom--

A wave of sword energy erupted.

In the past, when fighting Po, he could cleave a crack in the sky with a single sword strike.

Now, after the surging waves of sword energy erupted, no spectacular clashes of techniques occurred.

Wufeng simply pressed against the Skeleton King without any further action, and the Skeleton King did not make any further moves.

They could have easily used the two skeletal arms on their backs to unleash a very special 'cross slash,' but they didn't make a move at this moment.

It was as if everything had frozen in time; Long Haoyu stood there, and the Skeleton King stood there too.

A somber silence enveloped the world, making everything seem desolate.

"Zhujiu·Qingtian·Reverse!"

At that moment, Long Haoyu spoke again.

Witnessing the Skeleton King's inaction and sensing his eerie aura.

The sword waves that had been surging but had not yet erupted suddenly burst forth from the Skeleton King.

A very thin crack appeared on the Skeleton King's body. The crack opened very slowly, but this crack provided an outlet for all the boiling waves of sword energy.

Rumbling--

A wave of sword energy, powerful enough to kill a sixth-tier professional of the same realm dozens of times, instantly poured into the Skeleton King's skeletal body.

At the same time, the sword waves that poured into the skeleton's body erupted from the Skeleton King's limbs and bones like dazzling, smooth streaks.

The Skeleton King's body had become a temporary transit point for all the sword waves at this moment.

boom! !

A moment later, the Skeleton King collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The cracks on the body had widened to the size of an arm.

At first glance, this crack looks very similar to the crack that appeared in the sky when Long Haoyu and A Bao fought.

only……

The crack at that time was in the sky.

Now, this crack has been completely condensed on the Skeleton King's body.

The Skeleton King withstood all the power of the Nine-Slaying Slash with his own body.

Moreover, it was the improved version of Zhan Jiu by Long Haoyu.

With the power of destruction, it forcefully blasted open a crack, and with the power of reversal, it forcibly unleashed all the power from within.

In a back-and-forth battle, they could be considered invincible in the same realm.

"I never expected that the first practical application of the improved Zhan Jiu technique would be used in this training exercise. I was originally planning to save this move to deal with my uncle."

"It seems I still need to improve my other skills in the future. I can never fully reveal my trump cards."

"A battle without any trump cards offers no sense of security!"

Long Haoyu murmured to himself.

Seeing the Skeleton King's current state, it became clear that he no longer had the ability to continue fighting.

This experience should be considered a completion of the present moment.

Although I won this battle, it was a valuable experience, but I still felt a little uneasy.

Just as he had imagined.

Revealing all your cards is never a good thing.

This is not the same as that trump card.

Long Haoyu was well aware that he had other trump cards up his sleeve, but those trump cards were all learned from others.

The Nine Demon-Slaying Techniques are his truly complete set of self-created skills.

Only by creating your own skills can you truly understand their strengths and weaknesses, and use these strengths and weaknesses to solve any unexpected situations.

This is something that no other trump card can match.

"Forget it, let's put these unnecessary thoughts aside for now. Now is not the time to think about these things."

"The Skeleton King has been defeated, and I have also passed this trial. Although there is a strong suspicion that I received special treatment, I should still be given the skills I deserve after winning these trials."

"That very special cross slash just now, I wonder what kind of skill it is."

Long Haoyu was very suspicious.

Both are cross slashes, but the cross slash used by the Skeleton King is quite unusual.

Even after defeating the Skeleton King, he would not classify such an ability as a regular cross slash.

Having had real combat experience, he was absolutely certain that this cross slash would have many unexpected aspects, mysteries that he was still unaware of.

Just as Long Haoyu was pondering this matter.

The strange thrill that comes with the skill began to appear.

As if they were in a very peculiar place where magic was being transmitted, the Skeleton King's very awkward voice rang out in this place.

It was impossible to pinpoint the source of the sound, but it was unmistakably the voice of the Skeleton King.

"Crescent Cross Rush!"

"With the power of the crescent moon, I will cleave heaven and earth; with the shape of a cross, I will sever the past, present, and future!"

The awkward voice echoed in Long Haoyu's ears.

Listening carefully to the Skeleton King's voice, Long Haoyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.

Just listening to the Skeleton King's voice and the description of the 'Cross Slash' made my blood surge for no reason.

"Crescent Cross Strike? Severing heaven and earth, cutting through the past and present, this ability sounds incredibly domineering!"

"So it seems that the Skeleton King didn't fully unleash the power of this skill just now because he was just a skeleton?"

Long Haoyu whispered.

Looking around, it seemed that Lin Xin and the others had vanished from the area.

Everything was white, and he was all alone there, unable to see any other living beings around him.

But in this vast expanse of white...

Long Haoyu felt as if his consciousness was being drawn.

It seems as if countless people are cultivating and comprehending this special 'Cross Slash' called Crescent Cross Strike here.

From nothing to something, and from something to excellence.

Everything, everything, is here.

Long Haoyu looked carefully, then slowly closed his eyes, looking at everything around him, his mind became very peaceful.

His body moved, and the blade in his hand also began to move at that moment.

This strange situation continued for a long time, until the surrounding white expanse disappeared and Lin Xin and the others reappeared in their sight.

Without even looking around, Long Haoyu quickly calmed himself down and began to sense his own body; his steady breathing became rapid.

"I can't believe I've mastered the Crescent Cross in such a short time."

"Moreover, only by mastering it can one truly realize just how extraordinary this Crescent Cross Strike is."

"The predecessor who created this skill must have been the most outstanding knight of that era. This Crescent Cross Rush is probably his final act on the Holy Demon Continent!"

Long Haoyu thought to himself.

I feel that I have some control over the crescent-shaped cross.

Chapter 349. Chapter 346 Long Haoyu VS Sheng Cai'er

Crescent-shaped cross strike.

Long Haoyu was very satisfied with this skill.

After truly understanding the specifics of this skill, I couldn't help but feel a surge of impulse.

Driven by these impulses, he now desperately wants to find an opponent to experience firsthand just how powerful the Crescent Cross Rush really is.

Alternatively, one could use real combat to see how well they have mastered the Crescent Cross Strike ability.

While I can't guarantee that I can achieve the same level of effortless Crescent Slash as Skeleton King just now, nor can I guarantee that I can unleash the skill instantly the moment the move is completed.

However, after the very special transmission of the technique, Long Haoyu's understanding of the Crescent Cross Strike technique has been significantly deepened, and he feels quite confident about some of the most basic things.

"Wow, is this what skill acquisition is?"

"This has shocked me for a hundred years! I never thought I, Lin Xin, would have such an opportunity!"

"If I can continue down this path, once I reach the ninth rank, won't I just start mass-producing forbidden spells for the demon race?!"
