Divine King of Honour-Chapter 540: The Stronger We Fight, The Stronger We Get

Xu Nian's eyes flickered with a blue light.

Under his gaze, a small skeleton of about a hundred and six foot was hiding behind the Skull Army at that moment.

Xu Nian hadn't noticed it at first.

After all, just from its appearance, this skeleton had no differences from ordinary skeletons.

But soon, Xu Nian perceived something unusual.

This skeleton seemed extremely agile, several times more so than the other skeletons.

And its movements did not seem to be the mindless surging forward.

Instead, it darted around in the midst of the Skull Army without ever deliberately approaching Xu Nian and the others.

After noticing its anomaly, Xu Nian immediately locked on to it.

Sure enough, upon closer observation, he found that its eyes were not the green flames of other skeletons but were a golden pupil.

With this discovery, Xu Nian instantly determined that it was the Skull General.

"How interesting, I didn't expect the Skull General to look like this," Xu Nian mused with a light chuckle in his heart.

The appearance of this Skull General greatly differed from what he had imagined.

In his mind, the Skull General should be clad in golden Battle Armor, with a majestic aura.

Clearly, this Skull General was much more low-key than he had envisioned.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the Luotian Pope also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Xu Nian didn't find that Skull General soon, she might have to step in and crush those Skull Giants.

"Boom!"

However, before Xu Nian and his companions could act, a loud noise resounded.

Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

But the scene that met their eyes sent a sharp jolt through their hearts.

They saw that the dozen or so Skull Giants had actually begun to slaughter each other.

One Skull Giant directly smashed another with a punch and absorbed the fallen giant's power in the process.

The same scene happened repeatedly.

As other Skull Giants were killed, the giant committing the slaughter became increasingly powerful.

Not only did the giant's stature grow much taller, but its bones also began to turn a dark gold color.

"Buzz!"

A powerful Emperor Level presence burst forth from the Skull Giant, astonishingly formidable.

Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope were both shocked beyond measure.

"Damn it, that Skull General must know we've found him, so he wants to kill us with this Emperor Level Skull Giant," Xu Nian cursed.

The Luotian Pope also frowned slightly.

She could feel that the aura emanating from the Emperor Level Skull Giant was terribly formidable, not even inferior to her own.

"Roar!"

The Emperor Level Skull Giant let out a roar and then swung its terrifying fist at Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope.

Its movements were not the slightest bit sluggish due to its massive size but were even more fierce.

The power of this punch was absolutely terrifying.

Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope quickly retreated.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Nian and the others had barely retreated,

The Skull Giant's fist slammed ferociously into the ground.

A huge pit formed instantly where the ground had been impacted.

Xu Nian and the Luotian Pope were also blasted back by the fist force's shockwave.

"I'll handle this Skull Giant; you go after that Skull General," the Luotian Pope transmitted to Xu Nian as she steadied herself.

Then her graceful body instantly shot out, wielding her scepter brilliantly, and launched an attack on the Skull Giant.

As the scepter's light burst out time and again, the Skull Giant's fists were also blocked over and over.

The Luotian Pope continuously used her Body Skill and the scepter to start a zigzagging fight with the Skull Giant.

Seeing this, Xu Nian no longer hesitated.

Xu Nian directly summoned the Immortal Sword and turned his head to strike at the Skull General.

The Skull General, seeing Xu Nian charging at him, quickly used the Skull Army to block his path.

However, Xu Nian was relentless, with the Immortal Sword slashing out in his hand.

A single sweep of the blade sent bones flying everywhere.

Soon, Xu Nian had made it to the Skull General's front.

The Skull General, realizing there was nowhere to dodge, burst forth with a powerful golden light from his body.

At this moment, his entire skeleton turned dazzlingly golden, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold.

"Clang!"

Xu Nian's Immortal Sword struck the Skull General, producing a sound akin to the collision of fine iron.

"Eh, how can this be, such hard bones?" Xu Nian thought in shock.

At this moment, the Skull General's bones were comparable to Divine Iron.

Xu Nian's Immortal Sword had only managed to leave a scratch on the Skeleton's bones and was unable to cut through.

Keep in mind, Xu Nian wielded an Immortal Sword infused with the power of the Dimension Blade, yet it merely injured the Skull General.

"Hum!"

Caught off guard by his astonishment, the Skull General immediately threw a punch at Xu Nian.

The fist was amassing a terrifying power and was incredibly fast.

Xu Nian was alarmed and quickly parried with his sword held sideways.

"Clang!"

The Skull General's fist collided with the flat of Xu Nian's sword.

Immediately, the sound resonated like a meteor crashing into a gong, a deep and thunderous bell tone.

Xu Nian also felt an incredibly terrifying force transmitting through the Immortal Sword in his hands.

Sent uncontrollably flying backward at high speed.

"What immense strength, this Skull General is truly adept at hiding his skills, his head is not large, yet his strength is hardly less than that of the Emperor Level Skull Giant," Xu Nian cursed inwardly.

The Skull General's punch had caused his arms to go numb.

If Xu Nian had been only a Spirit Cultivator, perhaps even if he had managed to withstand the punch, his arms would have been rendered useless.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect was that the Skull General clearly possessed considerable intelligence.

"Hum!"

Just as Xu Nian was inwardly cursing.

A tremendously powerful wave suddenly came from behind.

The Skull General had taken the opportunity to circle behind Xu Nian, looking to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing this, a strong rage surged in Xu Nian's eyes.

The Power of the Twelfth Rank Ancestor Vein and four Talent Phenomena erupted together, while a formidable Power of Earth instantly converged on his right hand.

The Blood-colored Dragon Scale Armor materialized at once, and he met the Skull General's punch with his own.

All these actions were carried out in one fluid motion.

"Boom!"

A thunderous noise like a clap of thunder.

Xu Nian's fist collided with the Skull General's.

Terrifying forces erupted, immediately scattering all the skeletons within a thousand-meter radius.

And Xu Nian, under the impact of this terrifying force, staggered back dozens of steps.

"So strong!"

Xu Nian thought to himself with a silent exclamation.

The very instant his fist met the Skull General's, it was as if he had punched an indestructible steel.

His entire arm was now intensely numb.

However, this wasn't what Xu Nian found most concerning.

What worried Xu Nian the most was.

All the energy released by his attacks had been absorbed by the surrounding skeletons, funneling into the Skull General before him.

That is to say, the Skull General grew stronger with battle!

While he was steadily depleting!
