Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 62 - Death Knight

"Okay," Qian Lingyun nodded obediently, resting her head on Qian Renxue's shoulder like a little bird, and said softly, "I'll listen to you."

"Then you must suppress the evil aura of the Rakshasa Scythe and not be controlled by its power," Qian Renxue said seriously, her left hand around Qian Lingyun's slender waist. "It's best to use that thing sparingly, or better yet, not at all."

"Cough cough cough, it's so cold outside, let's go back first." Qian Lingyun's face stiffened, she coughed a few times lightly, subconsciously avoiding the topic, bent down to pick up the clothes she had just taken off, and hurriedly draped them over Qian Renxue's body.

"..." Who is Qian Renxue? Qian Lingyun's avoidance was too obvious. She saw through the clues at a glance, but out of respect and trust, she didn't say anything. She just put on her disheveled clothes and walked towards the dormitory building with Qian Lingyun in her arms.

The two looked at each other but remained silent throughout the journey.

……

Time flies, and years pass quickly. We've finally made it through the eight months following the freshman competition.

Their year-long study at Shrek Academy was coming to an end.

Next, it will be Shrek Academy's holiday time. Every year, Shrek Academy has a month-long holiday. Of course, don't think that this month is really for you to rest.

Shrek Academy, as the most slacking academy in the entire Douluo Continent, has this so-called one-month vacation specifically for students to go back and integrate everything they have learned in the past year. If you dare to slack off, you will be surprised to find when the vacation ends.

Those classmates who said they were going to have a good time before the holiday are all better than you!

Standing at the entrance of dormitory 505, the two looked at the empty room and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Eleven months had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for them to start the next phase of their plan.

First, they need to find a suitable fourth spirit ring for themselves.

After buying some useful items for the gathering of spirit beasts on the streets near Shrek Academy, the two resolutely left Shrek City.

After walking for about half an hour outside the city, Qian Renxue looked back at Shrek City in the distance and sighed softly.

"What's wrong? You're reluctant to leave?" Qian Lingyun glanced at Qian Renxue, hugged her, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I believe it won't be long before it's back in our hands."

"Mm." Qian Renxue nodded and continued walking towards the Star Dou Great Forest. Soon, the outer outline of the Star Dou Great Forest gradually appeared in their sight.

In the distance, the vast, dense forest was beginning to take shape. The two exchanged a glance, then spread their wings and flew toward the Starry Sky Forest.

Flying low over the outer area, the two landed slowly on the outermost edge of the mixed zone. Qian Renxue quickly tidied her messy hair and playfully poked Qian Lingyun, saying, "Come on, let me see the necromancy you learned from the old man!"

"From what I can tell, you're just trying to slack off because you don't want to be aware of your surroundings!" Qian Lingyun pouted, mischievously jumping onto Qian Renxue's back, and said angrily, "I can use necromancy, but you're making dinner!"

"Deal!" Qian Renxue slapped Qian Lingyun on the waist, which was considered a formality.

"Then... I'll begin!" After saying that, Qian Lingyun's aura suddenly changed, a gray halo emerged from beneath her, and even her dark red eyes turned gray.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Lingyun raised her right hand in the air, and a slender staff appeared in her palm.

The gray spirit ring that rose from beneath his feet flashed, but then it quickly turned golden.

"What a brilliant necromancer with the Light attribute!" Qian Renxue nodded slightly and even clapped her hands. In her eyes, the stronger this ability was, the better Qian Lingyun could protect herself!

Since she grasped the staff, Qian Lingyun's chanting never stopped, and finally, a pale white door slowly rose from behind her.

"Open, Gate of the Dead."

After the gate was summoned, hordes of skeleton soldiers swarmed out and stood neatly in the open space in front of Qian Renxue.

Without exception, these skeleton soldiers all had a faint golden sheen on their bodies, and their greatest advantage was their obedience.

"Scatter!" Qian Lingyun waved her hand lazily, and the skeleton soldiers immediately scattered in all directions, forming a huge circle around Qian Renxue and her companion.

"Heh," Qian Renxue snorted lightly, casually grabbing a skeleton soldier and dismantling it into a pile of pieces. She then watched with longing as the white bones were pieced back together, and asked curiously:

"Is this all you can summon right now? Don't you have anything more powerful?"

"There are even more powerful ones!" Qian Lingyun thought for a moment and continued chanting. Soon, the lich and skeleton riders also walked out of the white gate of the dead, but Qian Renxue was still not very satisfied.

Because these undead creatures are at most cannon fodder at the level of a Great Soul Master, they are not very useful. Once they encounter the soul beasts they need now, they will probably tear a large number of them to pieces with one claw.

"Isn't that enough?" Qian Lingyun scratched her head, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Then I'll try again!"

Qian Lingyun licked her rosy lips, and her right hand holding the staff trembled slightly, because she vaguely felt that when she used the necromancy taught by Ilex, there was a kind of tacit understanding with her Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

With divine equipment, her spiritual power has now reached the Spirit Sea Realm, making her comparable to ordinary Soul Emperors. Following this feeling, she summoned the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.

At that very moment, Qian Lingyun felt as if something deep within her mind had shattered. Then, Electrolux's voice slowly rang in her ears.

Under Electrolux's guidance, Qian Lingyun retrieved the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and instead took out the Measuring Heaven Sword, holding it in her left hand.

His right hand simply gripped the staff and quickened his chanting.

A gray current of air surged, and the surrounding lich shamans seemed to be guided, walking to Qian Lingyun's side, forming a large circle around her, and chanting in sync with the melody she was singing.

Under Qian Renxue's gaze, behind Qian Lingyun, a tall and imposing figure appeared and disappeared. Although only the outline was visible and the features were unclear, the boundless aura of majesty left a deep impression.

In Qian Lingyun's unique state of complete unawareness, the originally lengthy incantations seemed to be shortened, and she only needed to guide the models in her mind to complete the spell.

Under the combined summoning of the lich cultists, the white gate to the dead seemed to grow taller, and accompanied by the deep sound of hooves, several knights riding tall horses emerged from behind the gate.

The knights were all clad in deathly gray armor, their helmets gleaming with faint golden flames of their souls flickering within. Their warhorses, though mere skeletons, were enormous, their hooves treading on pale golden flames.

Only two knights appeared, but the aura emanating from each of them was far more powerful than that of the previous undead creatures.

"How about it? These two big guys are pretty good, right?" Qian Lingyun patted the Death Knight's armor with a smug look on her face and proudly raised her head in front of Qian Renxue.

"It's really good." Qian Renxue nodded and pulled Qian Lingyun toward the depths of the mixed zone.

Along the way, the scattered skeleton soldiers acted as Qian Lingyun's eyes, bringing them the latest information about the surrounding area. However... these skeleton soldiers were too weak. They could probably be killed by a single spit from a centuries-old or millennium-old soul beast passing by.

However, Qian Lingyun used the necromancy spell—the Eye of Summoning—to see clearly which soul beasts lived nearby, thus saving a lot of time.

After wandering around for a while, the summoned skeleton soldiers had been mostly dealt with by the soul beasts along this stretch of road. Qian Lingyun frowned and had no choice but to send in slightly higher-level skeleton cavalry.

As evening approached, Qian Lingyun, seeing that it was getting late, decided to take a good nap. She waved her hand, and the skeleton cavalry she had sent out rode back from all directions.

Furthermore, guided by the Death Knight, these skeleton cavalrymen consciously entered a grove of trees, cleared out a large open space, and thoughtfully set up a temporary dwelling for the two of them.

Looking at the exquisite wooden houses and warm campfire in the temporary camp, Qian Renxue couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that undead creatures could bring such convenience. Yun'er, you've really figured out how to use these undead creatures. Why don't you just let them catch some soul beasts and roast them for us to eat?"

He does not mean that.

Qian Renxue's words resonated with Qian Lingyun. She thought about it seriously for a while, and after confirming that the plan was feasible, she waved her hand, and a death knight led seven or eight skeleton cavalrymen trotting back in the direction they had come from.

The remaining undead creatures faithfully guarded the vicinity of the forest to prevent any soul beasts from attacking!
