A golden light shield rose up, protecting Long Haochen, and the sudden increase in the density of light element allowed him to recover some spiritual power. More importantly, under the protection of the holy light shield, the skeletons dared not rush forward for the time being. As soon as their bodies entered the range of the holy light shield, the black on them would immediately begin to melt away.

Long Haochen gasped for breath, he had been holding on here for a full hour.

His arms were so sore that he could barely lift them. He had to constantly stimulate his inner spiritual power to nourish his body. He had already consumed six Rejuvenation Pills, but this kind of continuous combat was far more than just consuming spiritual power. The physical load and mental load were both important factors affecting his ability to sustain combat.

Seeing his arms getting heavier and heavier, and the skeleton attacks becoming more and more fierce, Long Haochen had no choice but to activate the holy light shield attached to the spiritual light wristband on his wrist.

The spiritual light wristband given to him by Ye Hua could release three holy light shields every day. Releasing it at this time not only didn’t consume his spiritual power, but also helped him recover spiritual power and heal the soreness in his arms. Long Haochen’s physical condition immediately improved greatly.

However, the purple airflow emanating from behind him also became stronger and stronger, and he could even faintly hear Haoyue’s heavy breathing.

Hold on, must hold on, Long Haochen secretly warned himself, he must block these skeletons for Haoyue no matter what.

Just as the spiritual light shield was gradually dissipating, suddenly, a shrill roar rang out, and the skeleton army, which had been charging forward, suddenly stopped and separated to the left and right. A figure slowly floated up from the distance.

“Human, there is actually a human in the world of darkness and fire. Do you know who you are protecting?” The old voice was full of powerful pressure. The pressure, as if from the soul, made Long Haochen feel a chill in his heart. He released another spiritual light shield and swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill at the same time.

The figure slowly floating in the air in the distance was an old man. His yellow-brown robe was tattered, his face was withered and gray, without a trace of blood. His messy, disheveled brown-yellow hair had long lost its luster. In his right hand, he held a withered bone staff, and under his feet was a cloud of black and gray. He couldn’t see his eyes, because in his eye sockets, two balls of eerie green flames were burning.

He could actually speak human language? Long Haochen was surprised and more vigilant. “I am protecting my friend, my partner.”

The old man snorted coldly, “No, you are protecting the reincarnated Demon King, the creator of this darkness and fire. It is because of its existence that this world has become like this. Space is broken, and magma flows on the earth. Countless races have been destroyed because of it. The powerful races have escaped, and those who cannot escape have all become undead. Only the undead can live in this world of darkness and fire. Human, I don’t know what method it used to lure you here. The aura of light on your body disgusts me, and your behavior makes me even angrier. I’ll give you one chance, go back to your own plane. Today, Austin Griffin’s aura happens to appear in my territory. Although I am only a lich, I must kill it. Otherwise, who knows what kind of destruction it will bring to our world again when it recovers.”

Long Haochen looked at the lich old man in front of him with confusion. He didn’t quite understand the meaning of the other party’s words. He just heard that Haoyue was in danger, and even the culprit for destroying this world.

“Haoyue is my brother, my partner. I only believe in it.” Long Haochen said slowly, why should he believe a lich? A lich leading a skeleton army? As a knight of light, undead creatures were his inevitable enemy.

The lich said coldly, “Since that’s the case, then you shall be martyred for Austin Griffin.”

As he spoke, he pointed the withered bone staff in his hand towards Long Haochen, and suddenly, a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

Long Haochen only felt his whole body shake violently, and the blood in his body seemed to boil with this scream, and his consciousness became somewhat blurred in an instant.

Without caring about saving spiritual power, he quickly raised the Shield of Radiance, and at the same time, the Blessing of Protection and the Halo of Faith fell on his body.

The Shield of Radiance could resist all negative effects to a certain extent, and had special effects for the defense of darkness and undead magic. The Blessing of Protection and the Halo of Faith were both light-attribute auxiliary skills, and also had the effect of resisting this negative skill.

As expected, the impact brought by the scream suddenly decreased. Long Haochen’s mind cleared, and he raised the light sword in his hand without hesitation. Golden spiritual power flowed out of his hand like water, and injected into the light sword. The light gold on the light sword was gradually replaced by holy white, the Holy Sword.

Looking at the brilliant holy light on the Holy Sword, the ghostly fire in the lich old man’s eyes flickered, obviously a little frightened. His cultivation level was actually much higher than Long Haochen’s. The reason why he tried to drive Long Haochen away with words was because he was very afraid of Long Haochen’s light attribute.

A series of obscure incantations came out of the lich’s mouth, and the withered bone staff pointed downwards. Suddenly, countless skeleton armies shattered in an instant. Those black bones merged together at an alarming speed, and a black skeleton with an extremely tall body gradually took shape.

Skeleton King. A powerful combined undead summoning creature. The body was more than two zhang tall. In his right hand, there was a black bone blade that was one zhang long. With a fierce leap, the huge bone blade went straight to the cave where Long Haochen was located and chopped down.

Not good.

Long Haochen dared not stay in the cave any longer. If the Skeleton King’s bone blade were to hit the top of the cave, it would likely cause an internal collapse. He would be buried alive inside.

Charge, Stop, Divine Protection Block. Long Haochen’s movements were extremely swift, and the Shield of Radiance, which was completely out of proportion to the black bone blade, forcibly blocked the bombardment of the black bone blade.

In the loud noise, Long Haochen only felt that all the bones in his body seemed to be shattered at this moment. The qi and blood in his body were surging, and the huge shock force caused a crack to appear on the Shield of Radiance in his hand that almost penetrated the shield surface.

What a powerful force.

Even in the state of Divine Protection Block, Long Haochen had blood flowing from his seven orifices at this time, which showed how powerful the black Skeleton King was. The rocks under his feet were cracking inch by inch. If his cultivation hadn’t broken through the fifth rank, and the synchronous evolution brought to his body by Haoyue’s evolution, he would probably have been stunned by this blow.

Holy Light Shield. Long Haochen didn’t hesitate to activate the holy light shield on the spiritual light wristband for the second time, and at the same time threw a Bursting Spirit Pill into his mouth. He jumped up, put away the Shield of Radiance in his hand, and the Fire Sword appeared. Double-handed double swords, using the Light’s Revenge brought by Divine Protection Block to accelerate instantly. With a leap, he had already reached the Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King was also a little afraid of the holy light shield that rose from Long Haochen’s body. This was a natural attribute restraint, and its movements slowed down slightly.

With a sweep of the Fire Sword in his left hand, a Light Slash Sword, a golden light with flame fluctuations, slashed fiercely on the Skeleton King’s body.

“Roar—” The Skeleton King roared, and its upper body suddenly raised. The power of the Light Slash Sword itself was nothing to it, but the light attribute attached to it made a white smoke rise from its body, and it suffered severe pain.

The ghostly fire in the lich’s eyes flickered in the air. With a wave of the withered bone staff, the skeleton army immediately moved towards the cave that Long Haochen had left open, and at the same time a dark light shot out from the staff and landed on the Skeleton King. Suddenly, the Skeleton King’s bones became more jet-black, and there was even a faint fluorescent light emitting from it. The tyrannical aura made Long Haochen’s movements a little stagnant.

Boom—the black bone blade slashed fiercely on the ground. Long Haochen guided the Fire Sword, and with the force of unloading, he swayed away from this blade, but his whole body was also tilted to the side because of the huge force brought by the black bone blade. His whole body rolled on the ground, and then he bounced up, roaring, “I’ll fight you.”

In mid-air, a trace of disdain appeared on the lich’s withered face. Although the attributes attached to this human’s body made him feel scared, he was still far from strong enough after all. He couldn’t threaten himself.

The Skeleton King was really too powerful. In the face of its attacks, Long Haochen could only try his best to dodge and move, and he didn’t dare to confront it again. And his attacks on the Skeleton King could only have a certain killing effect with the light attribute. But with the lich watching by the side, he couldn’t cause substantial damage to the Skeleton King at all.

What’s more, Long Haochen had already seen skeletons rushing into the cave, and his expression became even more anxious. He constantly tried to fight the Skeleton King, but each time he succumbed to that powerful force.

The lich no longer looked at Long Haochen, it was only a matter of time before the Skeleton King killed him. His eyes fell in the direction of the cave, the ghostly fire in his eyes flickered, revealing uneasy and some uneasy emotions. That was Austin Griffin! Did he really have the ability to kill it? If he could kill it and absorb its bloodline, then how powerful would he become? Would he become the next Austin Griffin? At that time, perhaps he could travel through the various planes with his will.

Just when the lich was hesitant about whether to enter the cave now, suddenly, a strong suction pulled his body in the air to one side, and he fell directly towards the mountainside.

Huh? What’s going on? The lich was shocked and subconsciously looked at his body. Suddenly, he found that at some point, a white light that had no energy fluctuations at all had appeared on his body.

This white light looked very soft, but the pulling force was extremely strong. The lich’s undead magic could command an army, but he was, after all, a creature that relied on magic, and his physical strength was extremely weak. Facing this pulling force, he could not break free with his physical strength alone——
