Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 428 - 427: How Is That Possible

Chapter 428: Chapter 427: How Is That Possible

The eerie palace, with its increasingly oppressive chill, Lin Hao dragged Mo Changfeng by the hair, sprinting through Primordial Stone Mountain.

Within Primordial Stone Mountain, only their shadows passed by, like a bolt of lightning.

"There’s no other way out, wolves in front and tigers behind. Why not fight them to the death instead of running? Where can we run to?" Mo Changfeng, a true man, started shouting as soon as Lin Hao stopped on a pile of Primordial Stones without even stabilizing his stance.

However, Lin Hao ignored him, furrowing his brows tightly as his gaze swept around.

This place, located halfway between the Stone Gate and where they had found five skeletons earlier, was surrounded by dark, profound palaces, and above them, the ceiling of the underground palace soared a hundred meters high.

Before they could make sense of their surroundings, suddenly, a figure flashed on the pile of Primordial Stones ahead, and the skeleton, with a hooked-nose old foreigner in tow, appeared abruptly.

"Humans, you no longer have any chance. Since you won’t end it yourselves, I, the elder, shall send you both on your way."

The voice was eerie, sending chills down one’s spine, and with it, a formidable aura emanated from the skeleton, making Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng feel like ants before Mount Taishan.

What a powerful being, what incredible speed!

In Mo Changfeng’s view, Lin Hao’s speed was already extremely fast, yet the skeleton’s speed was even faster, and bizarrely so!

It’s over!

They couldn’t win the fight; their opponent was far stronger than both Mo Changfeng and Lin Hao. And retreat? Mo Changfeng knew they had no way out!

Unwilling, utterly unwilling!

Mo Changfeng took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly gleaming with determination. He swung his large saber, took a stance ready for a do-or-die battle, turned his back to Lin Hao, and gritted his teeth, whispering, "Damn! Big brother, you go first. I’ll hold him off here. I don’t believe he can kill us both. Even if I die, I’ll die moving forward. Go, brother!"

"Kikiki, an ant’s final struggle? It’s been ten thousand years since I last killed. Today, I shall thoroughly stretch my muscles and bones!"

The skeleton watched Mo Changfeng coldly, and from its bones, a series of green dust, like moldy ash, began to ripple out, swiftly encircling Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng in a large ring.

"This is bad!" Mo Changfeng’s heart sank as he realized, even if they wanted to escape now, there was no chance!

The mold-like dust around them took form, manifesting over a dozen skeletons identical to the original. Each skeleton possessed the same aura as the prototype, blurring the line between reality and deception, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake.

What is this?

Mo Changfeng’s eyes widened in shock, trembling under the aura emanating from the surrounding skeletons.

"Are you scared?"

At that moment, Lin Hao finally withdrew his gaze, his face revealing a smirk as he looked at Mo Changfeng shaking all over and scoffed.

"Scared?" Mo Changfeng gritted his teeth: "Of course I’m scared!! I’m just afraid of dying without purpose!"

"Then, be careful."

Lin Hao sneered, suddenly grabbing Mo Changfeng’s hand. His Primordial Qi surged around him like a frenzy.

"What are you doing?" Mo Changfeng asked instinctively, but before his words fell, suddenly, Lin Hao flung his arm overhead!

Whoosh!

Mo Changfeng flew like a stone, soaring up towards the hundred-meter-high underground dome.

No paths around, no exits to be found, Lin Hao had long made his preparations.

He tossed Mo Changfeng upwards, and at the same moment, the skeleton man also looked up, a disdainful look flashing through its green, oily skeletal eyes as it snorted coldly, "Trying to escape?" while raising its hand.

One skeleton raised a hand, and almost simultaneously, the dozen or so other skeletons also raised their hands and struck a palm towards Mo Changfeng, who was furiously flying towards the dome.

But almost at the same instant, Lin Hao’s figure moved, his left hand grasping towards the Primordial Stones on the ground, and in a flash, several thousand kilograms of Primordial Stones were refined into Primal Qi by using the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique.

Almost simultaneously, Transforming Qi into Power, he striked a palm towards the true body of the skeleton.

"Your opponent is me!"

With a long cry, Lin Hao had already rushed in front of the skeleton man’s true body.

"Kee kee, you do have some skills. I underestimated you." The skeleton man did not expect Lin Hao to find him among his many avatars. A trace of surprise flickered in those oily green skeletal eyes, but he calmly counter-struck with a light floating palm towards Lin Hao.

To strike after but hit first!

It had always been Lin Hao who struck after but hit first against others, but today he has finally met an opponent who managed this against him!

"Go to hell, human, let me show you what real strength is!!"

The skeleton man sneered coldly, not taking Lin Hao seriously at all. Having just awoken from a ten thousand-year slumber, he didn’t mind using these two feeble humans to loosen his limbs.

This strike, the skeleton man did not hold back at all, aiming to shatter Lin Hao’s bones and kill him.

Humans? Merely ants!

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, a man and a skeleton collided with three palms striking each other, powerful force exploding between the centers of their palms.

Lin Hao only felt that his palm had struck a high-speed train, the powerful force nearly severing his hand, the shock passing directly through his arm into his internal organs.

Subsequently, Lin Hao felt his blood churn, a sweetness rising to his throat.

"Spurt!"

A spray of blood jetted from his mouth as he was knocked back like a kite with a broken string.

"Die!"

But the skeleton man merely continued to sneer coldly, striking out and not even glancing back at Lin Hao.

As one of the Ghost Gate Elders in the Eternal Life Realm, he was always a confident man. To him, humans like ants, with only the most basic Cultivation in the Refining God Realm, wouldn’t stand a chance. If not for his remaining only a remnant body capable of exerting merely one percent of his strength, it would only take a flick of his finger to easily kill them.

After striking, the skeleton man looked up towards Mo Changfeng in the sky.

Mo Changfeng, having been thrown upwards by Lin Hao, had almost reached the dome of the Underground Palace. Seeing Lin Hao being struck into vomiting blood and flying away, his eyes reddened with rage and killing intent surged as he roared using all his strength, "For killing my elder brother, today I will fight you with all I have!"

Before even finishing his scream, Mo Changfeng focused his breath into his Dantian, drawing a trail in mid-air, plummeting towards the ground.

"Come down and I’ll kill you with one palm!" the huge skeleton sneered, grasping with both hands while the dozen other avatars also grasped with their hands, numerous pairs of green oily eyes tightly focusing on Mo Changfeng, just waiting for him to fall into their killing move.

But just as Mo Changfeng was preparing to descend, a figure that should not have appeared, suddenly rocketed from below.

"How could this be? A mere human, took my palm and didn’t die?" The green ghost fire in the skeleton’s eye sockets flickered, incredulously howling in disbelief.
