Invincible Dad-Chapter 608 Skeleton Giant_1

Yunxiao Sect!

The name seemed familiar to Ruan Lan, as if she’d heard it somewhere before. She frowned, racking her brain, but couldn’t place it.

"Do you two know about the Yunxiao Sect?" Ruan Lan turned and asked Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao, who were levitating behind her.

The two little ones stared blankly for a moment. "One Sect, Three Clans, and Nine Pavilions."

"What the heck is that?" Ruan Lan was completely confused.

Qian Xiao curled his lip and briefly explained the feud between the thirteen Holy Lands.

Ruan Lan slapped her forehead. "So the Penglai Sword Pavilion, where that old fart Deng Xiaoyao is, is one of the Holy Lands!"

Not giving it much more thought, Ruan Lan tried to pull the White Jade Sword from the top of the Skeleton Tower. To her surprise, her attempt went even worse than Qian Xiao’s; she was blasted a thousand meters away!

Ruan Lan flew out of the corpse pit, cursing colorfully. "I #$&%!!" Soon, she flew back, gritting her teeth and fuming, "This damn sword actually dared to blast me away! I’m going to shatter it with a formation!"

"Auntie, don’t be impulsive. Let me try," Xu Yiyi said, blinking her large eyes. She vaguely sensed this White Jade Sword was extraordinary but couldn’t pinpoint why, so she reached out to grab it.

"There’s something wrong with this sword, Yiyi, don’t try it! Be careful, you might get hurt," Ruan Lan said with concern.

"Big Sis, be careful!" Qian Xiao exclaimed, already bracing himself to catch Xu Yiyi the moment she was sent flying.

However, Xu Yiyi was completely unharmed. The moment she grasped the hilt, she gave it a gentle lift. The White Jade Sword slid out with ease, so effortlessly that one might wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Ruan Lan: "..."

Qian Xiao: "..."

RUMBLE...

As the White Jade Sword was freed from the skull, the Skeleton Tower instantly collapsed, a foul stench washing over them. The three of them quickly flew away.

Once they landed, the three of them exchanged glances. Xu Yiyi, in particular, was stunned; she had never expected to actually pull the sword out.

Xu Yiyi wiped the filth from the White Jade Sword with a piece of cloth. In no time at all, a blade that felt warm and smooth in her hand, yet surged with a wild, cold light, was revealed.

With just a single glance, Xu Yiyi could sense that the sword had been stained with countless blood. It was, without a doubt, a blade forged for slaughter.

SWOOSH!

Yiyi swung the sword lightly, and a fissure hundreds of meters long and about a meter deep instantly split the ground before her.

Qian Xiao couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

What on earth is this sword made of to be so terrifying?

The more Yiyi looked at the sword, the more she liked it. Still, she offered it to Ruan Lan. "Auntie, this is for you."

"This sword and I are not fated," Ruan Lan said, shaking her head. "You pulled it out yourself, so you should keep it. Besides, you don’t have a proper sword, and that broken tree branch makes you look cheap."

"It’s not an ordinary branch; I broke it off at the foot of Mount Haitang..." Yiyi muttered.

"Keep it." Ruan Lan’s expression turned serious as she remembered something. "But remember to disinfect it when we get home. Who knows what kind of bacteria might be on it."

"I doubt it," Qian Xiao said breezily. "That corpse pit wasn’t dangerous at all. You were making a big fuss over nothing, Auntie."

"Qian Xiao, shut your mouth," Yiyi glared, her eyes flashing. "Don’t talk nonsense!"

"What, are those skeletons going to come back to life?" Not taking it seriously either, Ruan Lan chuckled. "Let’s go. This trip was a huge success! Time to head back to Chang’an City!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

RUMBLE!

A tremendous noise erupted from the corpse pit behind them.

The three of them froze simultaneously.

Ruan Lan waved a hand dismissively. "Don’t panic. It’s probably just the Skeleton Tower finishing its collapse. There’s definitely no danger."

"Auntie, please stop jinxing it." Sword in hand, Xu Yiyi began to panic. She could faintly sense a terrifying presence slowly awakening. The aura was so strong it felt as if a ferocious, prehistoric beast had locked its eyes on her.

Qian Xiao’s body stiffened. He repeatedly slapped his own mouth. "Pah, pah, pah, I take it back."

Ruan Lan didn’t even dare to look back. "Hehehe..." She forced a dry laugh. "Run."

The instant she spoke, Ruan Lan activated a flight formation and shot forward. A moment later, an ear-splitting roar erupted from behind them.

ROAR!

Qian Xiao looked back and saw an immense figure rising from the corpse pit. As the dust and smoke cleared, he finally saw it: the Skeleton Giant, a horrifying figure composed entirely of skulls!

It was over three hundred meters tall and looked absolutely terrifying. The aura it radiated was more than ten tiers stronger than the Moon Clan’s Golden Core Realm experts they had recently encountered. The difference was like that between heaven and earth!

"It’s over... It’s all over." Panic flooded Qian Xiao’s small face.

The Skeleton Giant isn’t something the three of us can handle... he thought vaguely.

And indeed, he was right.

Even Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai, who was following them in secret, was dumbstruck. This aura... is it at the Divinity Transformation Realm? No. It might have even surpassed the Divinity Transformation Realm and entered the Divine Bridge Realm!

Although The Supreme Emperor had thrown it into Qingfeng Camp for over half a month to suffer countless "tortures," it had only just barely touched the threshold of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Having no other choice, Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai hurriedly sent a cry for help with his Divine Sense.

***

"Auntie, hurry, hurry! That thing is catching up!" Xu Yiyi screamed in terror.

The massive Skeleton Giant covered several kilometers with each step, instantly catching up to Ruan Lan’s flight formation.

Ruan Lan’s pupils shrank. We’re so screwed!

"Quick, think of something, Auntie!" Qian Xiao cried, on the verge of tears.

Although the Skeleton Giant appeared dazed and mindless, merely following them without attacking, Qian Xiao had no doubt it could obliterate him with a single breath. The pressure it exuded was simply too immense.

ROAR!

Two flames flickered within the Skeleton Giant’s eye sockets. They looked as if they could be extinguished at any moment—frail wisps of its lingering resentment.

The Skeleton Giant had forgotten why it was here. But it vaguely knew that it had been suppressed in some deep pit by a White Jade Sword!

That sword... it’s in that little girl’s hands! She’s the one who killed me!!!

ROAR!

Another howl shook the very foundations of the Moon, alarming the major tribes of the Moon Clan and sending the hearts of the martial artists in Chang’an City racing. They all came to the same conclusions: Xu Lai was on the Moon! The Moon Clan was attacking the city again! Both sides immediately went on high alert, completely unaware that the noise was merely a Skeleton Giant chasing three people.

With a sky-shaking howl, the Skeleton Giant swung its massive fist down at the fleeing trio. If the strike landed, they would all die instantly!

Ruan Lan’s scalp went numb with fear. Her face turned ashen as she tried to steer the flight formation to escape, only to find the very space around them had seemed to solidify.

There was absolutely no way to escape!

Ruan Lan couldn’t even muster her Spiritual Energy, let alone use any so-called Defensive Array.

Only Xu Yiyi, resisting the immense pressure, was able to grip her White Jade Sword and slash out fiercely.

But despair quickly washed over her.
