Ji Mo's attention was entirely on Wang Wenjian and Xuan Yang, watching the two closely.
Knowing Ji Mo was watching, these two fellows also displayed unparalleled bravery, charging in and out of the skeleton army seven times, slaughtering ferociously, as if driven mad.
With their master holding the line, they had no worries and naturally gave their all.
"My two students seem to have become even fiercer, possessing the might to challenge ten thousand foes! Their future is boundless."
Ji Mo felt a surge of pride and smiled with satisfaction.
A teacher's reputation is enhanced by their students' achievements; when the disciples prosper, the teacher naturally benefits.
He felt incredibly fortunate to have spotted these two treasures back then, striking it rich.
Just then.
He saw a towering golden skeleton lunging towards him, and his eyes lit up.
The dazzling golden light was more striking than any gemstone, clearly indicating a rare specimen.
"Could this skeleton monster have achieved sentience from gold?"
Ji Mo's breath hitched, feeling like a windfall was about to fall from the sky.
Uncertain, he asked the old demon beside him, "This thing, it should be worth a fortune, right?"
The old demon nodded blankly, already intimidated by the golden skeleton's aura. Its terrifying pressure made it difficult to breathe.
If Ji Mo hadn't been nearby, it would have fled immediately.
Ji Mo grinned, thinking he was about to make a fortune.
The golden skeleton, seeing this, was filled with questions. Was this an idiot?
Why, seeing it charge, did he show no fear or dread, but instead a foolish grin?
And what was that gaze?
It was like a lecherous old man ogling a stunning beauty, very unsettling.
It also proceeded with extreme caution, re-examining, confirming that Ji Mo possessed no immortal artifacts.
As for Ji Mo's Void Shuttle and Moon God Ring, due to their divine concealment, they appeared as ordinary objects, so the golden skeleton naturally did not recognize them as divine artifacts.
"Die."
The golden skeleton approached, extending its skeletal claw and grasping towards Ji Mo's head.
It intended to crush the idiot human's skull and tear his body to shreds.
*Crack.*
A crisp sound echoed.
The golden skeleton froze like a stunned chicken, unable to believe what it was seeing.
Its right arm had been snapped off by this scrawny human and was now being examined closely.
It knew its bones contained immortal gold, which even ordinary immortal artifacts could hardly damage, yet it had been broken by a mere human!
What kind of monstrous anomaly was this person!
Ji Mo flicked his finger against the golden arm in his hand, discerning that it didn't seem to be made of pure gold, and felt a bit disappointed.
However, this material was incredibly hard, making it excellent for forging weapons, so it was still a good find.
"Hand it over."
Ji Mo's eyes gleamed, tossing the golden arm to the old demon beside him, then lunging directly for the golden skeleton's leg, which was over ten feet long.
Another crisp sound rang out.
The golden skeleton was on the verge of tears; its leg had been broken.
Its proud, formidable skeletal structure was like paper in front of this human.
"This is the terrifying individual the old vampire mentioned!"
It finally realized why Adman had been so panicked when mentioning Ji Mo.
Having lost a hand and a leg, the golden skeleton was utterly terrified and immediately fled, hopping on its remaining leg.
Could anything that Ji Mo set his sights on possibly escape?
He leaped again, forcibly breaking off several of the golden skeleton's ribs.
Then, while pursuing, he continuously dismantled the golden skeleton's bony frame, filled with excitement.
The myriad of skeletons on the field were all stunned.
Their leader, whom they considered invincible and peerless, was fleeing like a stray dog, suffering a miserable fate, its skeletal structure nearly falling apart.
"Truly, it reaps what it sows. Who else could it provoke but the Master."
Wang Wenjian sighed.
At the same time, he stared intently at Ji Mo's bone-dismantling technique, his pupils flashing with sharp light, gaining an epiphany. His blade intent surged once more.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master."
Wang Wenjian roared towards the sky, countless blade intents erupting from his body, with violent blade energy sweeping across a thousand-meter radius.
In an instant.
Within the thousand-meter range, all skeletons were shattered into pieces.
"What did I teach? What did you understand?"
Ji Mo stared in Wang Wenjian's direction, unable to help but gasp.
This student's talent was too heaven-defying!
And this move, its power was immense!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the golden skeleton, reduced to only a skull and half a spine, made a swift escape.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Oligay wanted to intercept, to finish off the golden skeleton completely.
This was one of the four great overlords of the Ghost Realm; killing him would be of immense significance.
"Idiot, don't do anything rash."
Xuan Yang spoke up to stop him, scoffing, "Don't ruin Master's plans. If Master wanted its life, why would he let it escape?"
Oligay suddenly understood, and then his lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
The term "idiot" sounded so pleasant, almost intoxicating.
He had heard a human saying that hitting is caring and scolding is love.
It scolded me, could it be?
Instantly, Oligay's gaze towards Xuan Yang became even more peculiar.
"Bastard, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll gouge your dog eyes out."
Xuan Yang stomped his feet in anger, goosebumps rising all over his body, and he quickly moved away from Oligay.
Instead of being angered by the insult, Oligay became even more delighted.
This fellow seemed to have masochistic tendencies.
With the golden skeleton's escape, the skeleton army collapsed like a landslide, beginning to rout.
Black Rose and the others slaughtered their way through, annihilating countless enemies. The elite, core experts, and the like of the skeleton army were almost entirely wiped out.
If news of this battle spread, no one would dare to believe it.
The golden skeleton, one of the four great overlords of the Ghost Race, leading the skeleton legion, renowned for its fearlessness of death, was actually defeated by a few individuals.
And such a glorious achievement could not be concealed, spreading throughout the world at an astonishing speed.
The world was shocked.
Countless despairing humans and demons rekindled their hope.
They had initially believed that with the fall of the Eastern Region, the Ghost Race would soon sweep across the entire Xuanling Realm, resulting in scorched earth, vast swathes of corpses, and rivers of blood.
Unexpectedly, a powerful entity appeared and personally defeated a giant of the Ghost Race.
"It's the legendary Mr. Ji. He made his move, turning the tide."
"Also, we were all wrong. Mr. Ji is definitely not a demon, but a savior. The reason he opened the gate to the Demon Realm a while ago was specifically to conquer it."
"The new Demon Lord, Yu Chuqing, has already declared that the Demon Realm will never invade the Xuanling Realm again, and the demon race wishes to foster eternal friendship with the human and demon races."
"This legendary Mr. Ji has pioneered a new path, subduing the demon race. Next, he should pacify the Ghost Race, bringing eternal peace to our Xuanling Realm."
...
Inspiring news spread rapidly through the five regions and four oceans of the Xuanling Realm.
All living beings in the Xuanling Realm could hardly believe it. They had thought darkness had descended, and the Xuanling Realm would inevitably face dire straits.
Yet, unexpectedly, dawn had arrived, and the Xuanling Realm was likely to usher in its brightest tomorrow.
The name "Mr. Ji" had become the faith of many beings in the Xuanling Realm.
And they eagerly anticipated how Mr. Ji would deal with the Ghost Race.
