Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1298 - 1204: Encountering Jiu Kong of the Earthly List

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1204: Encountering Jiu Kong of the Earthly List

"Dude, how come every one of your pets is so tough?"

Wu Liuyi had no time to check his HP as he rolled up and scrambled to his feet, moving to the side in an attempt to avoid the attacks of the Iron-blood Sand Puppet and the Bone Eagle.

"Tough? They’re just for show, no real skill."

Just then, Su Ran modestly took command as the Undead Skeletons closed in, adding, "I really didn’t expect your skills to be the enhanced version, pretty ferocious!"

"It’s just luck. I got quite a few warrior Skill Books, and I’ve strengthened all the skills. The effects are quite nice, the power’s nearly increased by thirty percent."

Wu Liuyi crossed his axes in front of his chest, retreating towards the edge of the ring, trying to put some distance between him and Su Ran’s pets, "Bro Overturning Water, next, I’ll let you taste the power of my enhanced Jump Cut!"

"Bring it on, I’m watching closely!"

Su Ran finished with a smile, letting Wang Cai take a few steps back, keeping half the arena’s distance from Wu Liuyi to prevent being targeted easily and thus escaping the current encirclement.

"Ha ha, Bro Overturning Water, my target is your group of pets!"

Wu Liuyi laughed heartily. Once all the pets gathered together, he jumped high without hesitation and shouted, "Take this!"

The axes fell like meteorites, breaking free from the stratosphere’s hold, and crashed down with unparalleled momentum.

The next second, a comet-strike-on-earth scenario unfolded. Under such monumental impact, the ring itself trembled, and the unfortunate, tragic shield-bearing skeleton below the axes shattered on the spot, its skull split in two.

The other shield-bearing skeletons met the same fate, almost all of them knocked to the ground by the blast, causing widespread damage, an incredibly stunning visual effect. Su Ran believed that if these had been Skeletal Warriors or Magic Skeletons, they would probably be queuing to step down and pick up their lunchboxes.

"Damn, that’s fierce. What level is your Jump Cut skill? It’s even causing area damage!"

Su Ran was genuinely surprised by Wu Liuyi’s domineering performance. A skill’s level can reach a certain point of qualitative change, which was a known fact – after all, his own Summon Undead was an example. But the power of this Jump Cut was beyond his imagination.

"Ha ha, this is my signature move, Level Six Jump Cut!"

Wu Liuyi was very pleased with the effect of the move, his voice brimming with pride. Excited, he rubbed his axe head and, while the Undead pets were still down, he raised his axes and charged towards Su Ran.

He wanted to carry the momentum, to display the strength of a warrior, and make Overturning Water realize that the warrior profession was not to be taken lightly!

"Level six? You really do go hard!"

Su Ran sighed inwardly, knowing how hard it was to level up a skill. That his Summon Undead reached level four was purely coincidental; compared to this Wu Liuyi, he was far behind!

However, as Wu Liuyi launched his attack, Su Ran wasn’t too surprised; being a Summoner, to win in combat, one must first knock out himself, the puppet master behind the scenes. Otherwise, with Summoned Beasts constantly appearing, who could hold out?

"Bro Overturning Water, watch out!"

At this moment, Wu Liuyi was riding high, facing the renowned Overturning Water with a not so small chance of victory. If he could close the gap, he could lock down the match!

Ha ha, this was a delightful surprise!

It goes to show that in the face of absolute strength, even the famous and mighty are paper tigers – nothing to be afraid of!

"I’m ready whenever you are."

Su Ran cracked a smile, squeezed his legs against Wang Cai’s belly, and Wang Cai took off, starting to circle around the ring.

Less than a minute passed before Wu Liuyi stopped chasing. He sat down on the ground, breathing heavily with a pallid face.

"No, I can’t play this game with you anymore, Overturning Water’s bros. Your mount is too fast; I can’t keep up!"

Wu Liuyi lost his confidence to continue and looked dejected. Normally, he could have used Instant Chop to catch up, but that skill was on cooldown. Besides, those pets had formed a siege, and even the bone eagle was annoyingly flea-biting him, leaving him unable to focus, let alone defeat Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained.

The confidence that had just ignited within him was extinguished in an instant. Wu Liuyi lost the courage to continue and just sat on the ground, allowing the Undead skeletons to surround him as he sat awaiting his demise.

It was only now that he realized, competing with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained was simply masochistic. There was no way to win, given that his hardware was too high-end!

"Uh, maybe I ran a bit too fast and neglected your feelings."

Although Su Ran said this, he gave no sign of calling off his pets from beating Wu Liuyi mercilessly.

Very soon, Wu Liuyi was lying dead, and unfortunately, his axe was blown out of him.

"This guy is really unlucky to have his axe destroyed. How cursed can his luck get?"

After picking up the axe, Su Ran casually added Wu Liuyi as a friend.

"Overturning Water bros, I knew you were loyal!"

Wu Liuyi’s message came through immediately, filled with excitement, "My axe is part of a set. Without it, my damage drops a lot. That’s a big problem!"

"Let’s meet up somewhere, and I’ll give you the axe. Unfortunately, I can’t return the lost experience to you, haha."

"No problem, experience can be earned back. Making it to the top hundred, I’m already content! Overturning Water bros, go ahead with your duel. This matter is not urgent, we can just trade in the Imperial City after the event."

After agreeing with Wu Liuyi, Su Ran collected his thoughts, preparing for the next duel.

Looking at the stage that was now completely refurbished, showing no traces of the previous battle, Su Ran couldn’t help feeling impressed. The world is vast, but the system is the mightiest!

"Shua!"

Under the secretive manipulation of the system, the rest period was abruptly shortened, and a graceful man in white robes was teleported to the opposite side of Su Ran, adding a touch of elegance to the ring.

"Huh? It’s him!"

Su Ran recognized this person as one of the top fighters from the Earthly List, the ice mage Jiu Kong!

In fact, Su Ran and Jiu Kong had quite a history. It was thanks to him that Su Ran acquired the Illusion Demon Black Robe. Otherwise, even with all his abilities, he could not have gained the Ancient Stele Key, let alone entered the Illusion Spirit Realm!

It was precisely because of obtaining the precious Illusion Demon Stele that Su Ran had the capital to rise to power. Such a trajectory of fate was too elusive for anyone to see through.

Of course, this was something that Su Ran could only keep to himself. If Jiu Kong ever found out that his opportunity had been snatched by Su Ran, he would be furiously out of his mind!

Facing the well-known ice mage Jiu Kong, Su Ran sported a meaningful smile. Interestingly, the first time Su Ran encountered Jiu Kong, it felt like facing an insurmountable mountain, utterly devoid of any thought to challenge him. But now, that feeling had surprisingly vanished. Truly amusing.

Since his opponent was the ice mage Jiu Kong, the upcoming duel promised not to be too boring!
