Hearing Theodore's taunting and cruel words, Chen Luo, who had blocked several skeletal attacks, curled his lips into a disdainful smile:
"Who told you? Mages are afraid of close combat?!"
The demonic patterns in Chen Luo's eyes shifted violently. Under the combined power of Eagle Eye and Demonic Eye, Chen Luo gained control of everything around him.
The attacks, which appeared as swift illusions to ordinary people, were merely slow motion in Chen Luo's current sight!
His dragon pupils, turned golden due to the activation of "True Meditation Technique,"
In the first instant, quietly returned to their usual gentle black.
The attack closest to Chen Luo was now less than a meter away!
In the second instant, within Chen Luo's black eyes, a trace of crimson light faintly flickered.
"Two fists against four hands?!"
On the claws of the Death Wraith Skeletons, the thick black malice had almost solidified, a potent poison that annihilated living beings.
In the third instant, his pupils, suddenly turned crimson, were filled with boundless arrogance, an absolute confidence in his own strength:
"Absurd!!!"
Born as tools, the Death Wraith Skeletons possessed no independent will to think. The souls that formed them could only curse all living beings in endless wails and agony.
Now obeying Theodore's command, they hesitated not at all.
Their claws, in the next instant, were about to tear Chen Luo's body apart from all directions!
But!
The moment the claws were about to touch Chen Luo's body!
Boom!!!
A flesh-and-blood fist, enveloped in crimson light and golden flames, struck first and met the oncoming claws in a direct collision!
Amidst the terrifying explosion, the indestructible claws were directly shattered by Chen Luo's iron fist. The powerful force even caused the entire upper half of the skeleton to crumble!
The remaining fragments, imbued with Chen Luo's immense strength, slammed violently into the glazed walls of the deep pit.
However, Theodore, who had been lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but reveal a smile.
No matter how strong you are, what if you shatter one Death Wraith Skeleton with a single punch?
Heaven and earth, all are my people. How can you fight me?!
But! The next scene completely shocked Theodore!
The instant he shattered one Death Wraith Skeleton with a punch, countless black claws simultaneously attacked Chen Luo!
However, in front of each and every claw,
There was a fist, imbued with terrifying power, meeting it head-on!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, countless explosions erupted around Chen Luo, the terrifying gusts of wind causing the deep pit beneath his feet to tremble.
But these gusts of wind could not affect the Death Wraith Skeletons in the slightest!
Yet, every Death Wraith Skeleton that charged forward was met with an unsparing iron fist!
At this moment, above and below, in all directions, there were only Chen Luo's fist shadows!
Within the deep pit, the light from the fist edges formed a continuous stream around Chen Luo's body.
Amidst the explosions, the increasingly intense light seemed to ignite a crimson-gold sun!!
Bang!!!
With another punch, shattering the approaching Death Wraith Skeleton before him and sending it flying,
The countless fist shadows around Chen Luo instantly dissipated.
The boy with crimson eyes stood in mid-air, as if he hadn't moved an inch.
If not for the shattered deep pit filled with scattered skeletal remains, perhaps the boy would have appeared more delicate.
Crack... Crack...
Chen Luo casually twisted his neck, the crimson color in his eyes slowly receding, his demeanor shifting from arrogance back to gentleness.
"Is this your strength? Not bad, as a warm-up."
Facing Chen Luo's mockery, Theodore, hidden in the shadows, fell completely silent.
Crack...
The sound of bones treading on the ground came from ahead. Chen Luo looked in that direction.
In the deep pit, pockmarked with impact craters, the shattered skeletons,
Were slowly crawling out of the pits, entangled in dense black energy.
Within the black energy, countless malevolent faces flickered, and as these black energies enveloped them, the previously broken skeletons were becoming whole again.
[Undying Grudge]: As long as the soul's resentment does not cease, the energy of the Death Wraith Skeletons will not be depleted.
Chen Luo frowned, looking at the recovering Death Wraith Skeletons. He was certain that with every punch he threw,
The power of his qi and blood, along with the Starfire, had neutralized and annihilated more than half of the black energy on the Death Wraith Skeletons.
Yet, the aura of these monsters had not weakened in the slightest.
"Completely energized, so as long as there is enough energy, their bodies can be restored at any time."
"And although Theodore's methods are dirty, I currently have no way to stop the wails of those undead souls."
"So, is he trying to wear me down with a war of attrition?"
Chen Luo sighed helplessly as he looked at the neatly arrayed skeletons.
"Troublesome! Never mind, since there are targets that can't be killed, let them practice."
"Legion Descent!"
On the ground, four small spatial rifts boomed open.
Four figures, shimmering with various colored lights, emerged from the spatial rifts.
Wei Dayong, wielding twin axes, was the most excited and rushed out first.
"Lord of the City! You finally called me!! Come! Who should I chop? Just tell me!"
"My great axes are already thirsty!!"
However, as Wei Dayong stepped out of the spatial rift with his twin axes,
He saw countless bizarre skeletons with scarlet eyes erupting from the broken ground ahead.
The aura emanating from each of these skeletons far surpassed the power of the legions he had experienced before.
Dazed by the gaze of these Death Wraith Skeletons, Wei Dayong couldn't help but scratch his bald head.
"Uh, you little things, you look quite unique."
The next moment, an invisible mental force directly enveloped Wei Dayong and flew him to Chen Luo's side.
Here, Su Xiao, clad in crimson armor, and Hu Tao, robed in white, were already standing beside Chen Luo.
And the young form of Xiao Yue leaped directly into Chen Luo's embrace, nuzzling him with her small head.
Chen Luo looked at the monk Wei with a helpless expression.
"Stop messing around. It's a rare opportunity, I'll give you a buff and let you experience a Tier 2 battle properly."
As the strength of the entire legion increased, especially after Chen Luo himself stepped into Tier 2, he could now use the legion's power to empower these legion commanders to break through to Tier 2.
With that said, Chen Luo moved his mind.
Under the will of the Lord of Ten Thousand Armies, the strength of the hundred thousand crimson legion poured into the four legion commanders.
With the legion power buff, the legion commanders, currently in their Legion Descent state, experienced a drastic change in their strength.
The skill levels of several individuals skyrocketed! Their talent levels continuously evolved!
Terrifying power surged into their bodies, and in an instant, it helped them transcend their life stages.
Their physical bodies began to undergo complete energy transformation!
The human legion commanders were instantly enveloped by cocoons of energy of different colors.
However, what truly surprised Chen Luo was Xiao Yue's transformation!
The moment the legion power was injected, Xiao Yue jumped out of Chen Luo's embrace.
Accompanied by flashing moonlight, Xiao Yue's body instantly grew, transforming into a mature Wolf King Xiao Yue in the blink of an eye.
But, this time, the injected power far exceeded the previous ones.
[Evolution conditions met! Wolf King Xiao Yue evolves!]
Amidst the dazzling silver moonlight, the majestic wolf body, tens of meters tall, quietly shattered.
Countless silver stardust, guided by an unknown force, continuously converged.
A humanoid figure, reaching only to Chen Luo's waist, slowly took shape as the light converged.
Chen Luo seemed to see through the light before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"She really turned into a beast-girl."
