I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Chapter 165 Second-Rank Region, Stone Forest Ghost Lord

Zhu Kui was a little confused.

Although he has enjoyed the extremely high treatment from the Heavenly Prison Beast during this period, which has allowed his strength to advance by leaps and bounds, he has now reached the early stage of the third rank.

However, the places they are going to next are all gathering places for second-grade cultivators!

Without a doubt, his strength is the weakest among the three.

Asking him to clear the way is like lighting a lamp in a latrine.

"Don't panic, we're here to back you up, aren't we?"

The Heavenly Prison Beast chuckled and said, "Even if your master didn't save you immediately, would I have just watched you get killed by someone else?"

That's incredibly impressive.

Zhu Kui pursed his lips, feeling that the Heavenly Prison Beast wanted to use those second-grade cultivators to teach him a lesson.

"Although what the Heavenly Prison Beast said was a bit excessive, it is indeed a good suggestion."

Su Wuchen looked at Zhu Kui with a smile and said, "Let's leave it at that. It'll be a good opportunity to test your strength at the third rank."

"good!"

Since Su Wuchen had already spoken, Zhu Kui naturally had no intention of refusing.

He took the lead and walked to the front of the group, taking out his flying sword as he moved forward. Su Wuchen and the Heavenly Prison Beast followed leisurely behind him.

After passing through the dense jungle, a dark, solitary mountain suddenly appeared ahead.

The mountain peaks, like towering trees, stretched endlessly, their end invisible for a moment.

Moreover, Zhu Kui clearly sensed that something terrifying seemed to be lurking among these towering peaks.

"Why did you stop?"

"There's some unknown big shot hiding here."

"Um?"

Su Wuchen and the Heavenly Prison Beast both stared at Zhu Kui in silence.

Isn't that obvious?

They entered the area of ​​second-grade experts, so naturally they would encounter powerful beings with second-grade cultivation.

If you don't encounter it, then that's what you call an accident!

"Isn't this normal?"

The Heavenly Prison Beast urged, "With me and him here, what are you afraid of? Even if there really is a second-grade demon beast, we can still take it down!"

"It's not a monster."

Zhu Kui shook his head, gazed into the distance, and slowly said, "It looks like a ghost."

"ghost?"

"impossible."

Su Wuchen and the Heavenly Prison Beast both shook their heads.

They've been fighting in Wanxiu Valley for so long and haven't seen a single ghost. How could there be ghosts here?

"You'll find out soon enough."

After uttering those words, Zhu Kui flew directly forward.

Zhu Kui was not fast, and he remained highly vigilant, ready to intercept and counterattack immediately should any danger arise.

Just as he was crossing one mountain after another, a series of wailing sounds suddenly came from the mountains below.

The next second, countless white skulls flew out of the mountain. The large number of white skulls quickly gathered in the air and then transformed into a huge skull composed of thousands of skulls.

"Who dares to trespass on the territory of the Stone Forest Ghost Lord?"

The enormous skull opened and closed, its eerie sound echoing for miles around.

Su Wuchen looked surprised; Zhu Kui had indeed been right—there really was a Ghost Lord here.

Faced with the Ghost Lord's angry rebuke, Zhu Kui didn't say a word. He raised his hand and controlled his flying sword, stabbing it towards the skull in front of him.

"That ignorant brat is utterly unaware of his own limitations!"

A chain of white bones made of skulls lashed out at Zhu Kui's flying sword.

With just one move, Zhu Kui's flying sword was knocked away, and at the same time, the white bone chains continued their momentum, whipping towards Zhu Kui's head.

If Zhu Kui were struck by this bone chain, he would surely die on the spot.

Zhu Kui immediately retreated, dodging the bone chains, and summoned his flying sword to slash at them.

Ding!

Sparks flew everywhere.

Zhu Kui's flying sword failed to sever the bone chains as he had hoped; instead, it was forced back several steps by the force of the impact.

"This thing is incredibly powerful!"

The Heavenly Prison Beast smacked its lips, revealing an excited expression.

If we were to consume this guy's essence, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

"I'll test his skills."

The Heavenly Prison Beast uttered a single sentence before transforming into a colossal beast a thousand meters long, unleashing a deafening roar.

popping.

Some of the skull fragments on the skull shattered continuously amidst the roars of the Heavenly Prison Beast.

In the blink of an eye, the giant skull seemed to have undergone a rapid weight loss exercise, and its enormous head shrank instantly.

"The Heavenly Prison Beast?"

"I never imagined you'd cultivated to this level."

Stone Forest Ghost Lord seemed to recognize the Heavenly Prison Beast and appeared somewhat surprised.

but.

The Heavenly Prison Beast's sudden attack merely caught him off guard.

After realizing what was happening, spears formed from bones rained down on the Heavenly Prison Beast like a dense rain of arrows.

Bang bang bang!

The numerous white bone spears that fell were instantly shattered by the force of the shockwave emanating from the Heavenly Prison Beast's body as they approached it.

However, the numerous bone spears successfully halted the advance of the Heavenly Prison Beast.

"rise!"

Beneath countless mountain peaks, countless skeletons kept rising up.

Some skeletons looked like they were lying on the side of the road, while others seemed to have crawled out from underground.

Countless bones, under the influence of the skull, continuously converged and transformed into the skull's body and limbs.

In just two breaths, the originally bald skull had evolved into a giant skeleton made up of millions of bones.

Two flames also lit up in the skull's two dark eye sockets, as if to help the person behind it observe the situation.

"It's huge!"

Su Wuchen looked up and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to the thousand-meter-tall Heavenly Prison Beast, this skeletal giant was far more enormous. In comparison, the Heavenly Prison Beast looked like a small dog.

"Just how many people has this guy killed?"

Su Wuchen pursed his lips. Just looking at these countless skeletons, it wasn't hard to imagine that the cultivators and demonic beasts who accidentally entered the Stone Forest Ghost Venerable's territory had all become nourishment for this place.

but.

What puzzled Su Wuchen was why, after killing so many people and demons, this large area of ​​mountain peaks and stone forests was left barren.

Make sense.

Those dead cultivators and demonic beasts will become nourishment for this area.

But now?

What I saw was a completely bare landscape, which was quite strange.

The Heavenly Prison Beast was also terrified by the giant in front of it. How could it be so huge?

do not care!

"Zhu Kui, go find his true form, I'll keep him occupied!"

After uttering those words, the Heavenly Prison Beast, knowing the man's presence, stepped forward.

Zhu Kui looked down at Su Wuchen, who was still watching the battle, and immediately descended downwards.

One after another, flying swords flew out of his hands.

These flying swords are his eyes and scouts, allowing him to find out where his opponent is hiding in the shortest amount of time.

Just then, a flying sword suddenly broke!

"Found it!"
