Chapter 863 Undying Enemy

When the city guard skeleton turned its head to look at Yun Lintian, a terrifying aura instantly gushed forth and transformed into a dreadful tempest.

? In that split second, Yun Lintian instinctively executed the Shadow Step while releasing his profound energy to protect himself.

Boom!

The tempest was too vast. Even Yun Lintian had escaped several hundreds of meters away. He was still unable to avoid it and was swept away.

Yun Lintian's body flew to the air as several wounds appeared all over his body before he managed to stabilize himself and landed on the ground.

At this moment, countless living dead nearby were attracted by the commotion and abruptly locked onto Yun Lintian one after another. They gradually moved toward him, surrounding him in all directions.

However, Yun Lintian was surprised that the city guard skeleton didn't pursue him further. It merely glanced at him and turned its head away.

Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly. This city guard skeleton seemed to resume his duty, guarding the city's inner area, which belonged to the Skymist Ancient Clan.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

While Yun Lintian was thinking, several iron arrows were rushing toward him. They didn't possess any profound energy, but their power was enough to shoot Yun Lintian into sieves.

Yun Lintian didn't want to cause a further commotion. He executed the Shadow Step and quickly retreated to the distance, getting out of the living dead's range of attack.

Upon seeing Yun Lintian disappearing, the living dead nearby were restless for a while and returned to their original state.

Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian immediately figured out the general rules in this place. As long as he didn't provoke them or attract their attention, they would never care about him.

"The problem is that guard…." Yun Lintian muttered to himself.

He thought for a moment and decided to go roundabout. However, he later discovered every spot around the center area was tightly guarded by similar city guards. If he wanted to go in, he had to deal with them. It was totally unavoidable.

Naturally, Yun Lintian could try to confront the city guard skeleton, but it was impossible to not attract the surrounding living dead. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight hundreds of thousands of enemies alone.

Thinking of this, Yun Lintian closed his eyes and tried to perceive The Storm's direction. The next moment, a connection between him and The Storm emerged in his heart. Undoubtedly, The Storm was several kilometers away behind the city guard skeleton.

"It seems we have no choice." Yun Lintian said in a low voice.

He adjusted his condition, preparing to engage in a battle. At most, he would run away if he couldn't deal with the city guard skeleton.

"Do you need my help, Big Brother Yun?" Linlin asked concernedly.

"It's fine. Let's see the situation first. We don't know how other city guards would act if we took one down. Perhaps they would join the battle, and we would be at a disadvantage by then." Yun Lintian shook his head slightly.

After saying that, Yun Lintian took a deep breath, and the White Dragon Spear silently appeared in his hand. He took a step forward, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot before reappearing in front of the city guard skeleton.

The Vermilion Bird flame shone brightly around the spear as Yun Lintian thrust forward.

Boom!

The city guard skeleton was struck heavily by the tyrannical might, and its figure was immediately covered by the Vermilion Bird flame.

"It works!" Yun Lintian was overjoyed. Although he knew the Vermilion Bird flame was a bane to these living dead, he didn't expect it to work well against the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm one.

The city guard skeleton faltered. It tried to release the power, but Yun Lintian didn't give it a chance. He quickly lunged the spear forward, intending to shatter the target's skull.

Boom!

The city guard skeleton's skull shattered into pieces under the White Dragon Spear and its body slowly fell onto the ground.

Naturally, the commotion immediately attracted the surrounding living dead. They locked their gaze on Yun Lintian and swarmed toward him at full speed.

Yun Lintian had already prepared for this. He smashed the spear on the ground, creating a blast of the Vermilion Bird flame to spread out.

Boom!

A wave of flame instantly pushed all the surrounding living dead away, and some of them were directly reduced to ashes.

Just as Yun Lintian was about to make the next move, he suddenly perceived danger coming from behind. His instinct kicked in, and he executed the Shadow Step without hesitation.

Swoosh!

A terrifying tempest ruthlessly swept over and hit Yun Lintian's back, sending him flying over and landing on the ground.

Yun Lintian raised his head to look in the distance and saw the headless city guard skeleton open its palm, releasing its power. At the same time, its body began to recover. The countless pieces of skeletons suddenly gathered together and formed into a skull precisely the same as the previous one.

"What the hell?" Yun Lintian was shocked. This skeleton could actually regenerate itself? How to kill it, then?

It was not only the city guard skeleton, but the other living dead that were reduced to ashes had also regained their bodies once again. This scene directly rendered Yun Lintian speechless.

Soon, the city guard skeleton resumed its posture and stood calmly in the original place as if nothing had happened.

Now, Yun Lintian understood how these living dead could continue to survive under the windstorm for thousands of years.

Yun Lintian held his forehead as he felt powerless. He wasn't afraid of a strong enemy, but this kind of undying enemy wasn't something he could deal with.

"I'm getting curious about the so-called forbidden art. A profound art at this level is relatively rare even in the Divine World." Hongyue's voice resounded.

"Do you have a way to deal with this?" Yun Lintian had no choice but to ask Hongyue.

Hongyue didn't answer him but asked him instead. "Don't you think it's strange that The Storm suddenly went quiet after you entered the city?"
