Awakened: The Spirit King!

Chapter 61: The skeleton's weakness

The skeleton summoner had already gauged the strength of each human present in its chamber and knew that all of them were weaker than itself in terms of cultivation, including Xie Yang.

"Attack them and kill all except for him!"

The skeleton monster spewed out as he waved its scythe before pointing it at Xie Yang.

The meaning of his words was quite clear.

It wanted everyone except for Xie Yang's death.

As for why?

Even that was pretty clear.

It wanted to toy with Xie Yang and torture him to death!

All of its anger had turned on him!

The skeletons that it summoned charged towards Xie Yang and the others as with a loud booming noise, the huge gate behind them closed shut tightly.

It had cut off their only path to escape from this place.

It left them with no choice but to fight.

Xie Yang's narrowed eyes reflected an intense desire to shatter the skeletons charging his way. Spiritual energy rushed out his elixir field and traveled up to the tip of the fingers and thumb of his right hand before condensing into the shape of small orbs. He made them using five units of his spiritual energy. He had used 25 units of spiritual energy in total.

He waved his hands, and the projectiles at the tip of the fingers shot out, swiftly traveled through the air, and crashed on the Vital bones of the skeletons unlucky enough to be their target.

The spiritual energy bullets blasted through their vital bones and went onwards to claim the life of other skeletons.

The ones observing Xie Yang found themselves so much amazed and stunned by him that not only their mouths gaped, but their eyes too widened to the size of saucers.

How could he shoot out so many spiritual magic bullets simultaneously when this attack's technical difficulty was one of the highest among low-level spiritual techniques?

The way he created and shot out several bullets at the time and the way he managed to kill two to three skeletons with each Blue Bullet impressed them all.

His accuracy rate wasn't a mere 100%!

It was between 200%-300%!

Even people who had learned this offensive spiritual technique and increased their proficiency at using it for ten to twenty years wouldn't necessarily say with confidence that they can hit their targets with a 100% chance!

Yet, Xie Yang had already increased his accuracy and target hitting rate to a terrifying level at such a young age!

Xie Yang was a genius; they immediately realized.

They also found out that there was a great distance between his and their skills.

In this lifetime, they could never match up to him!

Although there were a lot of skeletons, Xie Yang wasn't having much trouble facing them.

However, it didn't mean that it was easy for him to face off so many enemies.

Even after Chen Yuan, Mo Mingzhu, Mao Yue, and Tang Yongnian joined in on the battle and started helping him, Xie Yang was still finding it hard to advance to the colossal skeleton summoner.

"We will take care of the minions; you go and get the summoner."

Chen Yuan smashed his armored self into a group of skeletons and opened up a path for Xie Yang.

He took it and charged forward while leaving behind a few words.

"Take care!"

"I will be done with it shortly."

There were many skeletons between him and the colossal Skeleton Summoner, so many that low-level cultivators would choose to change course and definitely not advance, yet Xie Yang strode ahead valiantly.

Others couldn't even sense a hint of fear or hesitation coming from his stable figure.

"There's no way towards heaven, so you chose to head towards hell before others! What a joke!"

It saw Xie Yang rushing towards a horde of skeletons and thought he had chosen to commit suicide.

It looked at him as if it was looking at a pathetic creature.

Xie Yang charged into the enemy's ranks.

Many blades fell towards him, but to the observers' surprise, he dodged most, and those he failed to weave through, he deflected them with his sword.

The skeleton monster saw him bridging the distance between them rapidly and felt troubled. It wasn't good at melee fights.

'I must stop him from getting close to me!"

A lot of mental power surged out of his body and enveloped the many bones on the ground. With a single thought, it made the bones scattered on the floor float up into the air. Then, it snapped its fingers, and they erupted straight towards Xie Yang's back with incredible speed.

He stepped out of their trajectory at the last moment, and they moved past him and smashed onto many skeleton minions.

A great friendly fire it was, for it took down a considerable part of its minions.

One could tell from Xie Yang's smile that the friendly fire brought him joy.

The skeleton summoner's twisted expression showed the observer that it was unhappy with what had happened!

He reached it, and it swung its scythe at him.

Xie Yang jumped, and its weapon moved past from below him.

He dived down and stepped on the corner of its weapon before jumping towards it.

He brandished his sword and penetrated its sharpness deeply into the monster's thick skull.

However powerful his attack was, it did not affect the skeleton summoner.

"Your efforts are in vain, mortal!"

The summoner laughed as it swung his hand towards Xie Yang.

"I'm invincible!"

"No, you're not!"

'Does it think that I don't know of its weakness?!'

'I know, and I also know which part of its body hides its soul.'

Xie Yang sidestepped to avoid the hit.

Then, he jumped onto his shoulder, went to the back of its head, and unleashed his strongest offensive spiritual technique attack at its neck.

[Northern Lights!]

Powerful sword rays surged out the tip of his moonlight sword and crashed on its neck, cutting open its bones and revealing a pure, black orb.

"If I shatter your soul orb, how fast will you die?"

While holding its weakness in his grasp, Xie Yang laughingly asked the skeleton summoner.

"Stop! Don't do it!"

It cried out.

However, its cry fell on empty ears.

"Die!"
