Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Below a Competent, the Sword King...
Nathan called out as he watched the ability vessel still fleeing ahead.
Gary, who had been severely injured that day, with his competent body all damaged, lifted his head respectfully and stared at Nathan, waiting for his command.
She sat quietly just as she had at Sky Sect, looking like an innocent little girl swinging her legs in mid-air.
But the current Gary was no longer in the green clothes of before. Her complexion was unnaturally pale, making her resemble a porcelain doll. She wore a black knee-length dress with strange patterns, and her detachable sleeves revealed her small shoulders.
Two hairpins adorned her head, tinkling with the wind, especially with two black talisman papers hanging at the tips. She also wore talismans made from some unknown beast's skin on her calves, revealing the white thighs beneath her skirt.
This Gary, upon hearing Nathan's call, stared with her large, pupil-less black eyes, her innocent appearance incredibly endearing.
"Commander, what are your orders?"
Nathan didn't even glance at Gary.
He just stared distantly at the ability vessel above, where Donald seemed to have lost his composure.
He remembered how high and mighty Donald had been.
That man had gone to Sky Sect without explanation, so arrogant. To him, the people of Blackwood were nothing but ants, always laughing and talking outside the gates of Sky Sect.
And now.
Nathan saw the panic in him, the same panic he had faced when confronting the Forebearer!
"Kill him."
Nathan said softly.
Without hesitation, Gary rose to her feet, soared into the air, and headed straight for Donald, with the wind howling and the bells on her ringing loudly!
...
"Sky Corpse!"
Seeing Gary approach, Williams Psychic found nothing cute about her.
On Gary, they saw a surge of deathly aura! The weak force of law belonging to a Competent category emitted a sharp scent of death, a kind that instilled unavoidable fear upon contact.
In broad daylight, the sky was shrouded in black mist.
"Blackwood has impressive methods, to have refined you, a dignified Competent, into a Sky Corpse, endowing you with a nascent soul!"
Seeing Gary approach, Donald dared not slacken. He turned and shouted to his kin, "Go back, leave this to me!"
He saw it, Blackwood Nathan controlling that silver coffin, had already passed him, chasing after his kin.
But he knew better; he had to stop Gary.
A Competent was a disaster for a large clan. Yet he was confident that mere Nathan and a Sword King Lucas, even with Azure Cloud Pavilion's Jason added, could not possibly be a match for the descendants of Williams, relying on just these three was far too dismissive...
Just as he blocked a strike from Gary, Donald's expression changed.
In the distance, three figures rose from the Death Coffin.
Countless flying corpses, even a Developing Skill realm Corpse King, emerged from the coffin, instantly filling the sky for kilometers around!
Besides that.
Suddenly, two figures from Blackwood rose up with Cards, and those he had seen at Sky Sect, the Blackwood Forebearer Cards, these Cards were flashing with purple light, not like that day when a foggy figure appeared in front of the Cards, but...
They manifested ability power!
...
"Go back? Williams has shown up, and you still want to go back?!!"
At the screen, Ethan excitedly slammed the table.
For a hundred years, Blackwood no longer needed his personal descent, nor the various schemes and efforts, nor the sacrifices of his clan members to defeat the Competent family. They have all sorts of trump cards!
As long as it's not on someone else's turf, Ethan is confident that they can still take on families like the Williams.
Look at Nathan's zombies and Gary.
[Your descendant Nathan, after years of refining zombies, has met the conditions to refine 'Gary' into a 'Sky Corpse'!]
[Congratulations, your family has acquired a 'Sky Corpse'!]
[Your descendant Nathan, after years of refining zombies, has leftover materials to refine more than twenty 'Zombie Kings'!]
[Gary (Sky Corpse)]
[Level: Beginner]
[Description: It has acquired the fresh soul of a baby, branded onto the Direct Death Coffin. Its soul grows every day, becoming an entity that exists between the realms of yin and yang. The refining process has left its body and Competent parts intact, retaining some of its strength, and it is influenced by the aura of death.]
[It possesses the flesh and bones of a million people, its power comparable to a body cultivator, and its Competent harbors the 'Emerald Phoenix Phantom,' transforming into the 'Undying Emerald Phoenix Phantom'...]
Although Gary might not be as strong as before.
But.
Blocking Donald shouldn't be a big problem, how terrifying is a battle with a Competent master?
Ethan also saw in the game screen, enveloped by dark fog, the golden scales that were once outside the Sky Sect, and the roaring sound of the Wild Dragon.
As for the Williams clan members?
Without Donald, they face Lucas, who has few rivals within the Developing Skill realm!
Among the countless flying zombies and Zombie Kings, Lucas's sword chants in the sky, already becoming a soaring dragon!
Lucas stands atop the dragon's head, directly targeting the Williams' flying vessel.
The Williams Psychic is not an easy opponent either, with overwhelming psychic powers coming at Lucas.
But even such powers, which would make any Psychic flee, leave Lucas expressionless.
Too weak!
Compared to the Celestial Star Swordmaster he once faced, these pressures, these powers, are too weak!
"The Celestial Sword like stars."
"My sword—"
"Returns to the heavens!"
As his words fell, the black celestial star sword in his hand suddenly blocked in front, instantly shattering!
Pieces of the celestial star sword floated in the sky, truly making the Williams' sky look like a sea of stars, twinkling.
The sword dragon under Lucas also cracked instantly, rushing into the high sky stars, merging with them.
Then...
Like a goddess scattering flowers, with the whistling of the long sword, the stars fell like shooting stars!
No matter what psychic equipment the Williams used, no matter what techniques or martial arts, or talismans, or magic circles, under this world-ending starfall, they all seemed like illusions!
"Is this... the true strength of Sword King Lucas?"
Cries of agony sounded, already in mid-air, Jason, who thought he had to fight desperately, was now staring in shock at Lucas in the sky, pinching a magic formula, his robe fluttering.
At this moment, Jason was sweating coldly, his eyes filled with shocked contemplation, and a fortunate fear!
"No wonder Frank said back then, as long as the Sword King is outside the Azure Cloud Pavilion, no amount of Developing Skill would be useful without a Competent."
"Below a Competent, the Sword King..."
"Is invincible!"
He swallowed, then glanced at Nathan, the old head of the Blackwood family, who amidst those overwhelming zombies, seemed quite ordinary.
This guy, carrying a coffin into the flying vessel, smashing it with the coffin, so straightforward and simple.
He also only had the mid-stage Developing Skill psychic powers.
