Chapter 46: Bone Explosion

“Sure enough, the Corpse Witch Sea is the way to go!” Hu Feng shook his head as he looked at the helpless horde of Skeletons behind him.

Compared to the Skeleton Warriors with only second-tier strength, the tenth-tier Corpse Witches were much stronger in combat and excelled at ranged attacks. Large patches of dense Corpse Witch Clouds smashing down could kill the Yin Souls in the valley even if they didn’t poison them to death! The reason the Lich Legion of the past was invincible was precisely because of the large number of Corpse Witches holding the line. Unfortunately, after Ovisis died, not a single one remained; they all perished under that terrifying shockwave.

After breaking through to the fourth tier of a Magician, Hu Feng was already able to summon Corpse Witches, but unfortunately, the chance was still too small. The vast majority of the Undead summoned were still low-tier Skeletons, making it impossible to form a large-scale Corpse Witch legion. Only by building a tall Soul Summoning Tower within the castle and comprehending the Great Soul Summoning Technique could the situation perhaps be thoroughly changed.

“Lord, there is a way to destroy these Yin Souls.” Yisu’s expression was calm. After a pause, she continued coldly: “As long as you cast the Death Curse and let a group of Skeleton Warriors rush up to use Bone Explosion and perish together with the enemy, the Skeleton Archer Legion and Skeleton Mage Legion can quickly advance from behind and completely wipe out these Yin Souls! The number doesn’t need to be too high; at most, sending five thousand Skeleton Warriors will be enough!”

Yisu’s face was calm, and her eyes did not show a trace of emotional fluctuation. To her, thousands of Skeletons seemed like just a string of numbers.

Let five thousand Skeletons self-destruct?

Hu Feng’s heart trembled. He didn’t expect that Yisu, this Grand Commander, was even more ruthless than himself. Currently, the Undead in the Lich Legion added up to less than one hundred thousand. Sacrificing five thousand at once meant a casualty rate as high as five percent. Although the Great Spirit Gathering Technique could be used after the battle to replenish some troops, the casualty rate was still too high. Helplessly, since there was no better method, after pondering for a while, he could only nod his head. He took out the Dark Magic Pen and personally added the Death Curse to the Skeleton Soldiers behind him.

Under Yisu’s command, five thousand tall Skeleton Warriors arranged themselves into a huge square formation, silently accepting the baptism of death. Strands of thick Death Aura penetrated their foreheads, eroding their Soul Fire. Slowly, the Soul Fire grew darker and darker, like a cluster of black hellfire. Profound Runes emerged one by one on the bones of their whole bodies, sometimes turning into Dark Mist with astonishing corrosive power, and sometimes turning into hideous Skeleton heads that opened their mouths wide and shouted loudly…

The Lich’s Death Curse!

Hu Feng did not hesitate to consume a large amount of Magic Power and soul power to personally cast this ancient Magic inherited from Ovisis.

The Lich’s curse could be said to be a nightmare for every enemy. Except for the Divine Court’s Great Restoration Technique, it was almost impossible to break. After being hit by the evil curse, the lightly affected would rot to death all over, while the severely affected would have their Soul Scatter and Spirit Dissipate on the spot. If a Lich comprehended the Great Curse Technique, that would be even more terrifying. No matter how powerful a Demon Hunter was, they would hide as far away as possible!

“Great warriors, charge forward and kill all enemies blocking the way. One day, the great Lich King will surely rebuild the tall Soul Summoning Tower and recall your heroic spirits, granting you eternal life in the free Kingdom of Death!”

Hu Feng muttered in a low voice. With a stroke of the icy Dark Magic Pen, he wrote the final Rune. Suddenly, the five thousand Skeleton Soldiers pounced on the Yin Souls in the valley like tigers and wolves. A Skeleton Warrior rushing at the very front jumped forcefully, hugged a Yin Soul that couldn’t dodge in time, and with a ‘boom’, exploded into fragments, turning into a cluster of pitch-black phosphorescent fire. Under the strong shockwave, the Yin Souls, who feared no physical attacks, didn’t even have time to struggle before their Souls were quickly annihilated. The surrounding Yin Souls who couldn’t dodge in time were also affected; once stained with a trace of the phosphorescent fire, they couldn’t shake it off, and after a scream, they turned to ash one by one.

Bone Explosion!

The Skeletons hit by the Death Curse caused great lethality after exploding. More than a dozen Skeleton Warriors rushed up, and the Yin Souls patrolling near the valley entrance immediately fell in large patches. Before the Yin Souls behind could react, they were met with a dense wave of arrows. Every crossbow arrow had been enhanced with Soul damage by the Skeleton Mages. After being hit by arrows, not a single Yin Soul could escape the calamity; their Souls quickly dissipated and were devoured completely by the Soul Summoning Banner behind Hu Feng.

Under the command of Grand Commander Yisu, the massive Lich Legion fiercely charged into the valley, advancing step by step.

After reacting, the vast number of Yin Souls organized wave after wave of fearless counterattacks, attempting to steal the Magic Power from the many Skeleton Mages to turn the tide of battle. Unfortunately, they were either shot by the dense rain of arrows or blown to pieces by the Skeleton Warriors enhanced with the Death Curse. They simply couldn’t get close to the Skeleton Mages hiding behind the Skeleton Archers, and they were defeated step by step. But for some reason, even though casualties were heavy, they did not rout, stubbornly guarding the Gate of Heaven hidden deep in the valley.

“Why would the holy Gate of Heaven attract so many evil Yin Souls?”

Hu Feng stood on the imposing Ferrari Chariot, watching the Yin Souls fluttering like moths to a flame, his heart full of doubts. His massive Divine Sense radiated out but couldn’t sense any intense danger; everything seemed to be within expectations, but for some reason, it made him uneasy.

After driving the Chariot forward for several hundred meters, he felt increasingly uneasy, and his brow twitched. His eyes couldn’t see any danger, but he vaguely sensed a strong danger approaching. That feeling was like being stared at by a wild beast lurking in the darkness, potentially suffering a Fatal Strike at any moment!

“Stop!”

After refining a strand of thought from the Saintess of Divine Court, Hu Feng touched a trace of the mysteries of fate and trusted his intuition more and more. He immediately ordered the entire army to stop and sent several strongest Vampire Warriors to fly in desperately to scout the situation. Unexpectedly, it was like a stone sinking into the sea; they went and never returned, and he soon lost his sense of them.

Sure enough, something was wrong!

Hu Feng made a prompt decision and immediately ordered a retreat.

There was a Soul Imprint of his, the Lich King, in the mind of every Undead. At such a close distance, yet having no sensation, the several powerful Vampire Warriors were undoubtedly in grave danger. Instantly killing several high-tier Vampire Warriors without leaking a trace of aura or energy fluctuation was already far beyond what an ordinary Stronger could do. There was indeed an unknown danger hidden near the Gate of Heaven deep in the valley!

“Since you have come, then all of you stay here for me!”

Hu Feng was calm and decisive, but before the massive Lich Legion could turn around, a cold voice came from deep in the valley. With a ‘boom’, as if a tight seal had been lifted, a supreme pressure quickly filled the entire valley. Accompanied by an intense holy aura, dazzling Holy Light illuminated every corner of the valley.

Where the intense Holy Light passed, the Undead couldn’t help but let out screams, with black smoke rising from their bodies. Let alone the low-tier Skeleton Warriors, even the powerful Vampire Warriors were no exception. Beside Hu Feng, only Yisu, Saratos, and the Death Warrior Udely, a mere few people, were still gritting their teeth and persisting bitterly.

Great Purification Technique?

Hu Feng’s expression changed in shock. He never expected that inside an evil valley filled with Yin Souls, there would be such a terrifying nemesis hidden. Except for the top Strongers of the Divine Court, he couldn’t think of anyone else on the Wasteland who mastered such terrifying holy Magic!
