16: What do you mean by invincible among those of the same level? You can still be defeated in one move!

A straight, slender beam of bone-white light fell from the sky.

Seductive and brilliant.

Everyone seemed to see the beautiful tail of a comet flashing past.

Originally, the breeze blowing through the Secret Realm from time to time made the grass, leaves, and berries rustle.

But at this moment, everything came to a standstill.

The wind stopped, and the leaves went still.

Even the air seemed to have frozen.

Everyone felt like they couldn't breathe. They wanted to scream, but found they couldn't make a sound no matter what.

It was as if a giant hand was tightly clutching their throats.

Suffocating and dazed!

Until—

Crack~

A very faint, crisp sound.

Yet it was as if someone had pressed the play button on the world.

The wind blew again, and the leaves and berries trembled slightly.

The air began to flow.

Everyone gasped, breathing in the fresh air.

But in their peripheral vision,

That overbearing You Beast, which had killed the Secret Realm boss with one hand and was invincible within its tier...

Was split in two!

With a loud thud, the two equal halves of the corpse fell to the left and right.

The You Beast,

Was dead!

Dead under a single strike from Lu Chen!

“T-T-That exotic beast... is dead?”

Sun Feifei could hardly believe the scene she had witnessed with her own eyes.

The exotic beast that had instantly killed a boss with Chiyang City's Peak combat power was killed in one strike by a first-tier Little Skeleton?

Could this be any more terrifying!

How is this possible!

How could a first-tier Little Skeleton successfully slay a third-tier Peak combat power!

This is fake, it's fake!

This world is just a lie!

Sun Feifei felt her perception of the world collapse in an instant!

A first-tier successfully slaying a third-tier!

Unprecedented!

And... there will definitely never be another after him!

It was like a horror movie!

Sun Feifei bit her lower lip until it bled, and the crimson blood dripped down her trembling lips onto the grass.

She had already raised her estimation of Lu Chen's strength infinitely in her heart.

She thought her guesses about Lu Chen's strength were already excessive.

Who would have thought that her understanding of Lu Chen was actually just the tip of the iceberg!

Suddenly.

She thought of the grand occasion when her Best Friend contracted her spirit.

The Necrotic Abyss!

The purple-gold pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth!

This!

This is the prestige of a Supreme Purple-Gold grade!

“Hehe, those snobs from the Supreme Academies can go ahead and regret it!”

“You have no idea that the ordinary skeleton you looked down on can now slay a third-tier as a first-tier!”

“And that Principal of First High School, he doesn't know yet—Ning Xiwei is a Dragon, a true Dragon!”

“You ignorant, short-sighted big shots, just wait for Xiwei to shock your eyes right out of their sockets!”

“Hahaha!”

Having accepted Lu Chen's Heaven-Defying combat power.

Only wild laughter could release the shock in her heart bit by bit.

Ning Xiwei allowed Lu Chen to hold her small fair hand.

At this moment, she was completely dazed, her whole body stiff.

The exotic beast that killed the boss Elk King like killing a chicken was cut in two by the Little Skeleton in the blink of an eye?

The moment the exotic beast had approached her.

She had been rendered unable to move an inch by the dark aura radiating from its body.

Even though she had already promoted from tier zero to tier one, level nine.

And had absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Her strength was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than when she first underwent Awakening.

However, the moment the exotic beast got close, she felt like she was about to die!

If she were still the same person she used to be, all alone.

She would have felt that if she died, she died; it would be a kind of relief.

But now, she had Lu Chen!

Her heart was filled by Lu Chen with warmth, care, and even more inseparable emotions.

She was no longer alone.

Therefore, she was now afraid of death, afraid of becoming a lonely person once again!

Now that she had ties and longings, she could only tremble in fear and helplessness before that incomparably powerful exotic beast.

She had been desperate to the extreme!

Her entire life had been dark and cold, reaching the absolute bottom.

However.

Right at that moment.

A skeletal hand gently took hers.

Then, with a single swing of the blade,

He shattered the darkness that shrouded her entire world.

The dawn's first light was crystalline and brilliant.

“He really is reliable.”

Ning Xiwei turned to Lu Chen and revealed an extremely radiant and charming smile.

Lu Chen also responded with a 'ka-ka' laugh.

Meanwhile, Shen Feichen, who was running over,

Stared fixedly at that beautiful, imposing, and graceful figure.

His blood was boiling, and he was incredibly excited.

In his hand, he tightly gripped the purple core that would allow him to complete his hero-saves-the-beauty act!

Just as he was about to reach the You Beast.

He only saw a flash of pale blade-light slashing down.

And then.

The You Beast, which was deeply etched into his brain as invincible in the world, was cut in two!

The purple core he held in his hand, as precious as his own life,

Was dropped on the spot out of sheer terror!

And the culprit of it all was actually a Little Skeleton that looked as ordinary as could be.

A common Little Skeleton that a Necromancer could summon at will.

Had actually killed the tier-invincible You Beast in one hit!

What on earth was wrong with this world!

Spirit Contractors were all prodigies, and after Fusion with their contracted spirits, they could fight above their tier.

He accepted that.

Spirit Contractors were also far from being a match for a You Beast of the same tier.

He accepted that too.

But a You Beast being no match for an ordinary Little Skeleton?

How was he supposed to accept that!

“No, this isn't real!”

“There must be a monster causing trouble, pulling me into an illusion!”

“Break! Break for me!”

He clutched his head and squatted on the ground, his face pale.

And even more pathetic than him was Lord Zhang.

The moment the You Beast was cut in two by Lu Chen,

He screamed in terror:

“Impossible!”

“How could the You Beast die!”

He had the strength of the third tier, high stage. He knew that if he were before this Second-Tier You Beast, he wouldn't last a single move and would be instantly killed.

Let alone those three ants!

He had actually discovered Lu Chen's trio even before Shen Feichen.

With his profound insight, he had long seen that Lu Chen's group were just weak ants of the first and second tiers.

Not even mentioning the You Beast, they were trash he could kill at will.

But when he saw the two halves of the You Beast's corpse lightly hitting the grass, especially when that dark blood emitting a peculiar purple smoke soaked into the ground,

Lord Zhang felt like his head was about to explode!

His heart began to throb violently!

Causing his internal organs, and even his muscles and bones, to tremble incessantly.

He tried to convince himself that it was all an illusion.

He was poisoned, or he was in an illusion, or even that this was just a dream!

But he couldn't do it!

The Jade Talisman he used to control the You Beast had shattered into countless pieces with a 'pa' sound the moment the You Beast was cut in two.

The You Beast was dead.

The tier-invincible You Beast had been hacked to death by an ordinary first-tier Little Skeleton.

The You Beast hadn't even been able to make a decent counterattack.

Hehe.

What tier-invincibility, what cross-tier peerlessness, what bullshit You Beast!

It couldn't even react to the attack of a first-tier Little Skeleton.

Trash!

Laughable!

Lord Zhang acted like a maniac, crying one moment and laughing wildly the next.

The You Beast was dead,

And he had ruined his master's plan.

He knew,

He was as good as dead!

At this time.

An incredibly massive amount of spiritual energy, mixed with an unknown gray energy, surged out from the You Beast's corpse.

Similarly, without following the Secret Realm's rule of equal distribution, it poured directly into Lu Chen's body.

By Lu Chen's ear,

A series of chimes rang out continuously.

【Plunder successful!】

【Strength +100】

【Physique +101】

【agility +91】
