I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Overlooked Details

His gaze revealed a trace of exhaustion, yet it couldn’t conceal the determination in his eyes, as if saying:

This battle must be won!

On the other side, the situation for the Drought Demon and Hou Qing was truly dire.

Neither the flames of the Drought Demon nor the wraiths released from Hou Qing’s body could withstand the moment the giant hammer fell, all buried in an instant.

Once the dust settled, the giant hammer slowly began to dissipate.

Now the Drought Demon realized it too late: the hammer thrown by Breaking Formation was not meant to cause substantial damage, but rather to act as a beacon.

Wherever the Lifebound Divine Artifact was, the descending giant hammer would strike centered on that location.

After everything returned to calm, the bodies of the Drought Demon and Hou Qing emerged.

At this moment, they looked no different than before.

A Corpse King is a Corpse King, the robustness of their bodies incomparable to ordinary Divine Beings.

The hammer as heavy as a planet landed on them, and not only did it fail to flatten them into mincemeat, their bodies showed no deformation at all. They merely patted the dust off and stood up again.

To withstand such an impact with physical strength alone, truly formidable!

”Not bad, these Seven Heroes of Dark Rising can unleash such power, almost smashed to death by you.”

The female demon rose, the flames on her body reigniting, seemingly indicating she had fully recovered from the recent blow.

Hou Qing was the same.

The wraiths embedded in the ground climbed out one by one, returning to his body.

If Lin Yi were here, he could definitely capture a detail with the Eye of All-Seeing, that both the Drought Demon and Hou Qing had cracks on their bodies, invisible to the naked eye.

These cracks were rapidly repairing at this moment.

On the other side of the battlefield.

Wo Zhiqi, who seemed certain of victory, immediately manipulated Lin Yi’s body to dodge upon sensing the approaching powerful aura.

After the [Light and Shadow Interweaving] skill activated, a muscular giant appeared at Lin Yi’s original position, though nobody knew when he had arrived.

He struck the ground with one hand, and the ground, densely covered in cracks, before his hand lifted, continued to extend and spread.

His fist appeared limp and powerless, yet the force contained within it was unimaginable.

If not for the quick reflexes, if that punch landed on Lin Yi earlier, only one outcome would be possible:

Every bone in the body shattered, even pulverized to fragments.

Given Lin Yi’s strength, the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill would provide one opportunity to resurrect, but in doing so, the last trump card against the Corpse King would be lost.

”Oh, kid, your reactions are quite fast.”

The big brother lifted his head, looked at Lin Yi floating in the sky, and couldn’t help but make a remark of amazement.

Clearly, he had sensed the Divine Power Level of this young man was not on par with Dark Rising’s Seven Heroes, yet Hou Qing just felt that dealing with this youngster in front of him was more troublesome than any of the Seven Heroes.

Ying Gou did not rush to pursue.

He turned around, looked in the direction of the Water Vortex, and mumbled some words:

”If your ancestors were still here, they would surely not be constrained by such a feeble skill. Alas, it truly is a case of each generation being weaker than the last.”

Despite the disdain in his words, his hands never stopped moving.

After quickly identifying the core position of the Water Vortex, Ying Gou raised his right fist and slammed it down.

Bang, bang, bang!

A crack that kept exploding rapidly moved toward the direction of the Water Vortex.

At the instant it made contact with the vortex, with an even more domineering force, it tore the Water Vortex apart.

Countless water blade formations disarrayed, each turning and shooting towards the perimeter, pulverizing the ground inch by inch.

”Uncle Ying Gou, you finally arrived.”

The Water Vortex dispersed, revealing the two individuals inside.

Seeing Luo Bingxin and Old Xuan summoning their dragon armor, Ying Gou couldn’t help but feel a stir of curiosity.

”Didn’t you say that kid was of average strength? How did he force you both to this extent?”

While speaking, Ying Gou seriously looked in Lin Yi’s direction.

Only then did he see clearly, Lin Yi was no longer just Lin Yi.

His entire being was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible for Ying Gou to accurately sense Lin Yi’s current aura.

A pair of golden claws, were those truly a feature a human should have?

After searching through his memory, Ying Gou suddenly realized that this fellow’s appearance seemed vaguely familiar.

”Is he, Wo Zhiqi?”

The Four Great Corpse Kings likewise hail from Ancient Times.

Throughout those times, there were only a few opponents the Four Great Corpse Kings could take seriously, and their impression of Wo Zhiqi was particularly profound.

After all, he was sealed much like himself, joint efforts from Yinglong and other masters.

Luo Bingxin and Old Xuan appeared next to Ying Gou.

”That’s right, but that guy is now just a wisp of soul. His body is still Lin Yi.”

”With your strength Uncle Ying Gou, you can certainly defeat him.”

During the conversation among the three, a pair of Profound Ice wings manifested behind Lin Yi, lifting him slowly into the sky.

Beside him, the Divine River Song, transformed into dragon form, was on constant alert for any sudden enemy attack.

”Oh, Ying Gou, long time no see. I thought we wouldn’t meet again in this lifetime.”

Lin Yi, speaking from above, drew Ying Gou’s attention.

Ying Gou raised his head, squinting at Lin Yi, furrowing his brows.

Since the beginning of Ancient Times, their status and power were on par, so for him to speak with such a demeanor, there must be some element of looking down on him.

Just as Ying Gou clenched his fist, planning to leap to Lin Yi’s side and punch him on the head, Wo Zhiqi spoke again.

”Hey, I’m talking to you, Ying Gou. Didn’t you get sealed by that Yinglong guy ten thousand years ago? How come you’re working for his descendants now? Don’t tell me it’s just orders from above; orders are orders, but how they’re executed, well, that’s unknown.”

To put it bluntly,

Wo Zhiqi’s words, though somewhat twisted, didn’t detract from the truth they contained.

The tasks assigned by the boss needed to be done, but how they were executed was for oneself to decide.

Sure enough, Wo Zhiqi’s words made Luo Bingxin immediately nervous.

”Uncle Ying Gou, don’t listen to this fellow’s attempts to sow discord.”

Whether there was rationale, or it was an attempt at sowing discord, these two issues should be discussed separately.

The Four Great Corpse Kings were notoriously difficult to deal with, known to all in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Back then, had Yinglong not joined forces with other masters and given it their all, how could they have achieved sealing the Four Great Corpse Kings?

Claiming that Yinglong held back against the Four Great Corpse Kings wasn’t entirely accurate.

They brought a whole convoy of experts and fought quite earnestly.

Of course, Ying Gou could understand.

Yinglong did not annihilate the Four Great Corpse Kings completely, even left the possibility of unsealing them. Otherwise, how could the Four Great Corpse Kings still wreak havoc like this?
