Chapter 54

They reached stream after some time. They saw a green wyvern with a protruding head appeared, carrying a black-robed man on its back as it spiraled down to the ground. They hurriedly hid within the cracks in the gorge, watching the movements of that black-robed man quietly. They only saw him taking out a black skull before he started muttering some chants... A dense, black fog was emitted from the skull, and eventually, it condensed into black balls. The black-robed man then threw these black fog balls onto the ground. The black fog dispersed, and with a crackling sound, oddly-shaped skeletons were summoned one after another.

Yue Yang never knew that he would find him here. He had already observed this area with his senses but didn't find anyone. So that means, the black-robed man also arrived here not long ago.

A few of those skeletons still had some items that they possessed when they were living, for example, a tattered pair of gloves, a silver chain drenched full of black blood, a rusted longsword...

The face of Princess Qian Qian immediately sunk at the sight of this.

Yue Yang placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to cheer her up a little. She calmed down and nodded at him. He just gave her a smile.

These skeletons were the people they had been looking for, the royal scouting party. However, all of them had died and they had even been turned into skeletons by the black-robed man through the terrifying Dead Soul Summoning Technique. It turned out that the person who destroyed the entire royal scouting party and controlled the crows was this necromancer.

However, necromancers only exist in the demonic abyss. How did one appear in the Soaring Dragon Continent?

How long had this black-robed necromancer hidden himself in the Eagle's Cry Valley in Gui Jian Chou? What was his purpose?

"My undead servants, move out. Find where those two living people are hiding..." While chanting, the black-robed man's hands, which were as thin as if they were only skeletons, summoned balls of green light and projected them into the few dozen skeletons.

These skeletons changed form under the green fluorescent light, changing in color and increasing in size, becoming gigantic. Within ten seconds, they had turned from Level 1 Shrivelled Skeletons into Level 2 Bony Skeletons.

Among those skeletons, there was one who had absorbed multiple balls of green light. It was strengthened and evolved even further to become a Level 3 Iron-boned Skeleton.

This Iron-boned Skeleton Commander even grew bone blades that were made of iron on both of its arms.

Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian knew that this was the controlling technique of the necromancer. As long as there were living things nearby, these skeletons would be able to sense them. Their branches and leaves camouflage would lose effect. Thankfully, the sensing range of the skeletons was limited to around 20-30 meters. Not only that, a stream separated the two of them from the necromancer. If not, they would have been found by these skeletons immediately.

They looked at each other. Yue Yang signaled to her that he was going to do a sneak attack on him. Princess was surprised by his quick thinking. She told him to take care. He was surprised by the fact that she was worried for him. He gave her a confident smile.

With the distance, it was slightly difficult to perform a sneak attack, and the success rate was not high. But, they still had to give it a shot. Otherwise, if this black-robed man riding a Poison Wyvern rose up to the sky, they would have no way of catching him again. They estimated that this black-robed necromancer probably had the strength of a Level 6 [Elder]. Yue Yang was confident of killing him in one move but he didn't want to show his real strength yet. The only problem was that this guy was also extremely cautious. The place where the wyvern landed was a stone that jutted out. As long as the wyvern jumped, he would easily be able to escape into the sky.

As Yue Yang was about to move, he saw something which brought a smile to his face. Qian Qian was puzzled by looking at his smile.

Yue Yang pointed his finger in a certain direction. When she looked in that direction. She grabbed Yue Yang's back nervously. Her great mounds unconsciously squeezed on him, trying to press his body down to go lower and lower to the ground.

This was because, looking in the same direction as Yue Yang was, Qian Qian had seen that on top of the steep cliff rock, a terrifying life form was standing absolutely still, having appeared out of nowhere.

It did not move at all, and its breathing was completely hidden. It was stuck on the cliff wall as if it was a rock.

Its target was the black-robed man below it and the Poison Wyvern he was riding on. However, even the alert black-robed man and the Poison Wyvern were completely unable to sense the presence of this terrifying life form... When the Poison Wyvern flapped its giant wings and started to ascend slowly with the black-robed man, that terrifying life form suddenly moved as if it was lightning. Moving its two huge arms that were like sickles as if they were black lightning, it severed the space and took the giant Poison Wyvern captive with its arms. The Bronze-rank Level 6 Poison Wyvern could not even struggle. It could only whine repeatedly.

It killed it in just seconds. When the terrifying life form was eating the Poison Wyvern, the black-robed man instantly took out a teleportation ball, smashing it with his blackened bony hand.

The teleportation pillar shone within a second.

However, the instant before he disappeared during his teleportation, the terrifying life form angrily raised one of its sickle arms and cut them down towards the black-robed man...

Pa!

The lower half of the black-robed man who was still teleporting was immediately severed in the teleportation space. The teleportation pillar was also shattered, and half of his body fell onto the ground with a thump.

Yue Yang took Princess Qian Qian in his arms who was very scared. He was consoling her while watching the scene. The terrifying life form was actually the legendary Gold-rank Level 7 Reaper Mantis that was said to have been extinct. Not only that, it was actually a Gold King Beast.

Yue Yang was confident of killing it but for that, he had to show his power.

He had already mastered Space law. Even though he couldn't fight with it, he was also confident of escaping with Qian Qian safely.

He had mastered his domains to certain degrees. He had discovered that his all domains were his real domains and he could even use other people's domains after comprehending them. He also discovered that he had a new domain that was similar to Conqueror's Haki in a sense. But he also discovered that he had to spend three times the efforts original Yue Yang had to spend for upgrading them.

His real domains were Devour, Star Explosion, Space, World-Exterminating Wheel, Eternal Wheel, Nirvana Flame, Emperor's Domain(The New Domain), and World Creation
