Chapter 55

After the Reaper Mantis ate the head of the Poison Wyvern, it suddenly lost interest on the giant carcass of the wyvern and threw it away.

With a flap of its wings, it instantly flew up into the sky, disappearing into thin air.

Princess Qian Qian was grabbing Yue Yang and didn't watch the fight. She was feeling his warmth which gave her a secure feeling. She knew that he would protect her if anything happens. She was enjoying this movement.

She only snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a loud sound. She immediately ley go of Yue Yang and stand aside. Her face was getting hot after thinking about her actions.

Yue Yang looked at her and smiled. He didn't want to embarrass so he pointed in the direction in which the Reaper Mantis disappeared before saying, "The Reaper Mantis has already left. Now, we are safe."

"It's a female mantis. I don't know if it has laid eggs, but if we find those eggs, then we can find the larvae of the Reaper Mantis." Princess Qian Qian held a little desire. The Reaper Mantis' larvae were Gold-rank beasts, and their potential for growth was limitless.

When she got up to go down, He stopped her. When she looked at him, he smiled while saying, "Let's first kill that black-robed man."

Qian Qian looked at him with a questioning gaze and asked, "But he already escaped. How do we find him? Who knows where he's hiding."

"Look..." Yue Yang pointed at the skeletons, who were dragging the severed lower half of the black-robed man and the giant wyvern carcass.

"Is that fellow rushing back here? Let's attack together to finish him off." Princess Qian Qian felt that the necromancer was absolutely unlucky. First, he had let the Reaper Mantis ambush him, killing off his Bronze-rank Level 6 Poison Wyvern. Now, he would be ambushed again by them. With this double attack, it would be hard for the fellow to survive even if he wanted to.

Although Princess Qian Qian was staying close to him as she felt safe with him.

The two people were physically touching each other, their bodies leaning on each other in an intimate fashion. For the ambush to succeed, the two people quietly hid themselves within the cracks of the rocks. Yue Yang was keeping a serious expression on his face while he was enjoying inside, Princess Qian Qian was blushing more from this.

When she looked at his expression, she was disappointed because he had a serious expression. She thought 'Am I really unattractive to him'. But how could she know that how difficultly he was controlling himself from kissing her.

Just like this, the two people quietly awaited the return of the heavily-injured black-robed man to the stream, unmoving.

After around half an hour, a grey-robed male stood on top of a giant Iron-winged Crow King's back, accompanying the black-robed man who only had the upper half of his body, back to the sky above the stream.

That black-robed man cursed in rage, saying, "I'm really too unlucky. I took so much effort to get this body! I didn't expect that, within half a month, it would be sliced into half by a Reaper Mantis. I probably won't be able to recover the body to its initial state without at least a year's time. Didn't Master Suo Ge say that there were no more Reaper Mantises in Gui Jian Chou? I really met a ghost then. If not for me running fast, my head would probably be bitten off like my wyvern. Lu Dun, help me out a little, connect my body together."

The grey-robed man snickered, "Your luck is really bad. I've been staying in Gui Jian Chou for almost ten years and I've never seen a Reaper Mantis. It's probably the fault of your wyvern. Who asked you to like wyverns so much and contract with one to make it your mount? Eh, how come there's still the presence of a Golden King Beast around?"

"What Golden King Beast?" The black-robed man still had some lingering fears. Listening to this, he was scared to the point that his entire body was trembling.

"Don't be afraid, that's my Bloody Queen, I guarantee that she doesn't like eating human heads, especially DEAD people's heads." Yue Yang's silhouette appeared behind the black-robed man. His smile was as brilliant as the sun.

Of course, in the eyes of the black-robed man, it was more like a devil's grin...

He slashed the black-robbed man with his crescent blades. He had already evolved his Hui Jin Blade and Crescent Blade into Gold Rank form using refining materials and cores. Now he only needed souls as cores for his Crescent blades to evolve them into divine weapons. After killing a demonic beast in Demon Abyss, he refined its core with Hui Jin Blade which had evolved into a living weapon.

Yue Yang looked at the grey-robed man and laughed before kicking him down. He had already summoned Red who instantly slew the beasts.

He didn't kill him immediately. He let him summoned his beasts. Red slaughtered them all and collects their cores for Yue Yang. Yue Yang praised her and gave her a pat on her head.

Yue Yang stepped on the grey-robed necromancer but did not immediately kill him. Instead, he looked into the distance and laughed, "Hey, Old Man, I think you have watched quite a bit, aren't you going to come down to save your underling? Although your concealing ability is not bad, please take note of the flow of the air. Next time don't stand in the direction of the wind. Otherwise, it will be easy for people to catch a whiff of the corpse stench on you. I say, next time if you manage to survive today, why don't you learn from this lesson?"

"You sure are good at talking. But if you think I am like the Lu Den whom you are stepping on, then you have made a huge mistake."

There was an aged and haughty voice that resounded through the open space.

There were a few hissing sounds.

It was as though a protective screen had been removed from the sky. In front of Yue Yang's eyes, there was a Silver-ranked Level 7 Zombie Dragon. Its wings were tattered and its body was corroded. Coupled with the deeply diluted and lifeless eyes, it was evident that it was once a gigantic dragon.

The gigantic dragon might have been dead, but its residual aura still existed.

Although it had become a zombie, its level was still a high Silver-ranked Level 7.

Riding atop the Zombie Dragon was an elderly man with a wrinkled face. He wore a long purple-black robe and wielded a skeletal bone staff that flickered with a red light.
