Peerless War God

However, the Skeleton Swordsman was too agile, and its movement technique was not weak at all. Because of the existence of the Death Mist, the speed of Li Xuan and Wu Gan was a bit slow.    

Under such circumstances, the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.    

Li Xuan’s head was covered in sweat, and his clothes were completely wet. He was panting heavily, and his eyes were filled with fear.    

“Not good, Elder Wu, this damned thing is about to catch up. What should we do?”    

The two of them were flying at full speed, occasionally throwing out a talisman fireball at the back, trying to delay the Skeleton Swordsman’s attack and think of a way to escape.    

Unfortunately, the power of a mere talisman fireball was too weak, and it was difficult to injure the Skeleton Swordsman at all, let alone stop its movements.    

Before long, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it was extremely urgent.    

Wu Gan’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a ferocious look. He turned around and stared at the Skeleton Swordsman that was chasing after them. It was like a ghost, closely following them.    

He cursed loudly, “This damned thing really can’t be thrown off. This is going to be very troublesome.”    

Hearing this, Li Xuan’s heart tightened, and he glanced at the Skeleton Swordsman behind him from the corner of his eyes. He suddenly made a move.    

The Skeleton Swordsman’s white bone sword in its hand was thrown out in the air, and it was extremely fast. It flew towards the two of them, and the sound of it breaking through the air was like the wailing of ghosts, making people want to die.    

In an instant, Li Xuan widened his eyes and hurriedly slowed down. He quickly formed a seal and used his mana to form a shield to block the attack.    

“Not good, this ghost thing is attacking.”    

However, Wu Gan was even faster than him. A short knife appeared in his hand and he moved to block Li Xuan. He waved the short knife with all his strength and a shocking knife screen appeared in front of him. It was like a shield as it swept towards the white bone sword that was attacking him.    

Bang.    

With a crisp sound, the white bone sword was blocked and shattered. It was blocked by Wu Gan.    

When Li Xuan saw this, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. He asked with concern, “Old Wu, are you alright?”    

“Hmm?”    

Wu Gan did not dare to be careless. He stared at the sky and suddenly discovered something extremely terrifying.    

The white bone sword that had been shattered fell to the ground and turned into countless white bone fragments. Suddenly, a wisp of grey death fog appeared from the white bone fragments. The white bone fragments gathered together to form a white bone sword that was exactly the same as before. It was actually perfectly unharmed.    

“This is?” Li Xuan widened his eyes and stared at this scene in disbelief. He almost forgot to breathe.    

Suddenly, a white light shot out from the white bone sword. Its aura was astonishing.    

When Wu Gan saw this, he turned pale with fright. He screamed, “Not good, retreat quickly!”    

He subconsciously pulled Li Xuan and pulled him away. He retreated frantically in an attempt to escape the white bone sword. The further the better.    

However, he had still underestimated the strength of the Skeleton Swordsman.    

This sword attack was unexpected and caught the two of them off guard, catching Wu Gan and Li Xuan off guard.    

With a flash of white light, the bone sword pierced through the air and flew towards the two of them.    

Wu Gan, who had sensed the danger, turned his head and raised his left hand to form a magic shield to block it.    

Bang.    

Another muffled sound exploded. The shockwave was astonishing and directly sent Li Xuan flying far away. He fell heavily onto the ground and rolled a few times before stopping. His entire body was in a sorry state.    

In comparison, Wu Gan was even more miserable. He was the first to bear the full power of the white bone sword. His left hand was broken and blood was spurting out. The blood dyed the left side of his clothes red. His arm drooped down. It was obvious that he was heavily injured.    

This sword attack had caused Wu Gan to pay a heavy price.    

Originally, with his personal strength, there was no way he could avoid or counter this sword attack.    

However, he had to take care of Li Xuan at the same time. He could not let Li Xuan die here for nothing. As a result, he was caught in the attack.    

When Li Xuan saw this, he felt despair. Of course, he knew very well that Wu Gan had been attacked because he wanted to save him.    

He felt extremely guilty and hurriedly asked, “Uncle Wu, are you alright?”    

Wu Gan did not even turn his head and stood where he was. He shouted loudly and said, “Young Master, hurry and leave. Do not care about me. You have to protect yourself and remember what the prince said. This opportunity is your only hope.”    

“I…”    

Li Xuan’s heart thumped. He wanted to say something, but Wu Gan’s decisiveness made him feel extremely pained.    

He knew that Wu Gan wanted to sacrifice himself to stop the Skeleton Swordsman so that he could seize the opportunity to escape.    

“Let’s go.” Wu Gan almost shouted.    

Li Xuan’s eyes turned red. He was a little dazed. He wiped the corners of his eyes and made up his mind. He said, “Uncle Wu, thank you.”    

After saying that, he did not stay any longer. He decisively increased his movement technique and left the Skeleton Swordsman’s pursuit with a few leaps.    

This way, he was safe.    

While running, Li Xuan could not help but turn his head back. His eyes were hot. “Uncle Wu, sigh…”    

For a moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable.    

Of course, he knew that it was absolutely unlikely for Wu Gan to face the Skeleton Swordsman alone. Wu Gan had chosen to do this to protect him and save his life.    

Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind, making him unable to calm down for a long time.    

On the spot, Wu Gan grinned. There was not a hint of fear on his face. Instead, there was a look of relief and calmness.    

He was not afraid of death, but that his mission had not been completed. He had not done what the prince had asked him to do.    

He glanced at Li Xuan’s leaving figure and chuckled. He said, “Young Master, this is all I can do. The rest of the road will depend on you. For the sake of escorting Young Master, I gave up my life. This can be considered to be giving you all these years of worship. Hahaha.”    

Wu Gan let out a desolate laughter. There was a hint of sadness and relief in it.    

He had chosen this path in the first place. In fact, the outcome was already predestined. Today, it could be considered to have been fulfilled.    

Wu Gan would not be so naive as to think that his old and weak strength could really give him any advantage when facing this strange and terrifying undead skeleton.    

If he had still been harboring a sliver of hope, he would not have been so resolute.    

"..."    

Not far away, the skeleton swordsman had already stopped in his tracks. From a distance, he was confronting Wu Gan from afar.    

It was an undead monster. It was completely unable to understand why Wu Gan was laughing. Its pair of eyes that were suffused with deathly mist revealed deep puzzlement.    

At the same time, the blood that dripped from Wu Gan's injured left hand was emitting a vigorous vitality. However, it was a deadly temptation to it.    

It was extremely eager to obtain all of this. This desire was deeply engraved in its instincts.    

The undead monster was very impatient. It did not give Wu Gan much time to feel emotional or reminisce.    

After that, it moved. It raised its arm, and the white bone longsword flew back into its hand. It charged towards Wu Gan and launched an all-out attack.    

On the other side, when Wu Gan saw this, he let out a heavy sigh with a desolate expression.    

"Sigh, it should have come. At least, it can still be of some use. Using my old bones to give the Young Master a sliver of hope, kill."    

"Come, you damned thing."    

Wu Gan's expression was ferocious, like a malicious spirit. He moved at a neither fast nor slow pace to meet it.
