Liu Jian suddenly halted his movements, as a terrifying aura started to gather around Liu Mei's body.
It was the aura of death.
Although Liu Jian hadn't encountered the aura of death a lot of times in the past, except for when he saw the remnant qi that hadn't dispersed on the desiccated corpses of some strong cultivators, he could still identify it at first glance.
The moment that his eyes had fallen on the black ball of qi in Liu Mei's hand, Liu Jian had the feeling that if he approached a few steps closer to it, he would put himself at risk of losing his life.
This was the feeling that he had as a powerful expert at the peak of rank 3 in the Spirit realm, as well as a veteran cultivator with ample experience.
Liu Mei however didn't look at her father, and instead, she turned her eyes on the black ball of qi in her hand, before she allowed it to fall on the ground.
The black ball left Liu Mei's body, as it started falling towards the 'Floating Cloud city' below her.
It had only fallen halfway through the air however, before the black ball of qi turned into a black hole that suspended itself in mid-air.
Suddenly, under Liu Jian's and the 'Floating Cloud sect's' Elders stunned gazes, a pair of 3m(10ft) tall undead knights covered in black armor appeared from the black hole in rapid succession.
Each of the knights was holding a 2m(6.6ft) long black greatsword, while wisps of bright red flames were shining in their eye sockets.
The most shocking thing however was the undead knights' aura.
They were at the middle rank 4 of the Spirit realm!
It was really a pair of middle-stage Spirit realm summoned creatures!
Even Liu Jian who had roamed throughout the entire 'Desolate East' and had a lot of experience was stunned in front of this scene.
Let alone seeing something like this, he had never even heard of anything like this before!
Normally, shamans who could summon powerful creatures, could only summon those whose strength was at least a minor realm below them.
Liu Jian had seen in the past an expert at the peak of rank 9 of the Spirit realm from the 'Night star continent' who had comprehended the Dao of Earth, and had summoned a golem at the peak of rank 8.
Although this golem wasn't unrivaled in their 'Desolate East', but aside from the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple' and its 2 rank 9 Spirit realm level monks, as well as the master of the 'Poison Hall', there was no one else who was able to contend against it.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-power_51766006653181972 for visiting.
Although the golem was inferior to its master in terms of direct combat prowess, its vitality and its defensive prowess was much stronger than his.
It could take hits without feeling any pain, and even if it was destroyed, as long as its master infused enough qi inside it, it would be quickly regenerated.
Looking at Liu Mei's undead knights, Liu Jian could tell that they were similar to that terrifying golem.
He could feel that the black armor around their chests was so sturdy, that it would be almost impossible for him to break it by attacking them head-on.
And yet, despite feeling fear, a surge of excitement had also appeared in Liu Jian's heart.
Didn't that mean that once Liu Mei reached the rank 9 of the Spirit realm, she would practically be invincible in the 'Desolate East' if she fought with anyone else aside from the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple'?
Even the master of the 'Poison Hall' would probably not be her match in a one on one fight.
Looking at Liu Mei with gleaming eyes, Liu Jian didn't wait for her to make a move, and instead, his body erupted with his full power as he flew towards her at full speed.
He knew that if he waited for the black-armored knights to entrap him, he would probably be done for.
Liu Jian pointed his white sword towards the undead knights' feet, covering them with a layer of solid white ice before he continued towards Liu Mei.
However, contrary to his expectations, Liu Mei didn't seem to move and try to avoid him, and neither did she cover her sword with her Dao of Ice.
Instead, she simply stared at her 2 undead knights, who forcefully destroyed the ice around their feet in an instant, before they moved to encircle the 'Floating Cloud sect's' sect master.
Liu Jian's 'yellow high-grade martial skill' was actually useless in front of the middle rank 4 Spirit realm knights who quickly entrapped him from both sides.
One of the undead knights raised its huge greatsword and slashed forward at full strength, while the other one attacked Liu Jian from the side, sweeping its greatsword horizontally.
Despite avoiding the first attack from the undead knight who seemed as if he was ready to take his life, Liu Jian was unable to avoid the second attack, and had to raise his white sword to meet it head-on.
However, Liu Jian soon found out, that the undead knight's attack was actually much stronger than Liu Mei's direct sword attack from earlier.
It was actually so strong that he was unable to resist it by himself.
After all, this was the power of a necromancer.
It lied in the creatures that they summoned rather than them fighting head-on.
Under Liu Changpun's, Lan Hong's, and the rest of the Elders stunned eyes, Liu Jian was sent flying from the sky like a cannonball, as he crashed in front of the main hall at the center of the 'inner city'.
Liu Mei watched Liu Jian who was sent flying, without the slightest hints of pity in her heart.
This was her father who didn't care about her once in all these years, and had only changed his mind once he saw the increase in her strength.
She didn't even try to check Liu Jian's condition, and instead, with her undead knights guarding her from the side, she flew towards the inner city, as she headed directly for her mother's location.
Liu Changpun and Lan Hong wanted to stop her, but in the end, they didn't dare to, and could only watch her as she headed deeper inside the 'inner city', before they turned their gazes towards the main hall. Without any more hesitation, they hurriedly flew towards it, to check Liu Jian's condition and make sure that he was still alive.
