Chapter 1497: Chapter 1491

Behind them, the stack of skeletons covered in Spiritual Wisdom Grass suddenly began to move quietly.

The bones pieced together, forming a group of Skull Soldiers.

The eyes of these Skull Soldiers emitted a green light, lunging towards Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan.

"Little fox, you go after the castrated ghost."

After pondering for a moment, Xin Lin knew that Tu Suxuan couldn’t handle these Skull Soldiers alone.

She swung her palm out.

Tu Suxuan witnessed the formation of the Skull Soldiers and their sudden attack on him, and he was momentarily startled.

But after all, he was an experienced mercenary; although he felt a tingling in his scalp, he did not hesitate to act.

Behind him, his Martial Soul gathered, letting out a beastly howl.

Man and beast charged towards the Skull Soldiers.

Tu Suxuan punched the head of the leading Skull Soldier.

But the Skull Soldier’s head was extremely hard, like iron stone, shaking Tu Suxuan’s wrist until it was numb.

His long legs swept out like a gust of wind, knocking away several Skull Soldiers.

But after being kicked, the Skull Soldiers only staggered a bit, unharmed, and rushed at Tu Suxuan again.

They fought more valiantly the more they battled, without any fear.

Tu Suxuan was still somewhat worried about Xin Lin.

Looking at Xin Lin, she was like a butterfly shuttle, weaving through the Skull Soldiers.

After driving back several Skull Soldiers, hundreds of Skull Soldiers swarmed like insects, being kicked away and hit, then getting back up again.

They felt no pain, nor fear of life and death, like a wildfire, never decreasing no matter how hard they were fought.

"Damn it, what the hell are these things?"

Tu Suxuan was already somewhat out of breath.

Although he was a Blood Realm Martial Artist, these Skull Soldiers weren’t weak either; they seemed to be around the Xuan Transformation Realm, and several leader-like Skull Soldiers were even in the Blood Realm. Gathered together, they formed a powerful combat force.

"Big brother, they are the Fuzhou Army, look at their weapons and armor."

Xin Lin also couldn’t help but be impressed by the combat power of these Skull Soldiers.

These Skull Soldiers, although unlike Yin Sha who appear and disappear without a trace, were numerous and clearly trained. When one batch was knocked down, another immediately filled in, looking like a kind of battle formation.

Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan were only two people; earlier, the Fu Xi’s Energy within Xin Lin had begun to stir.

She had barely managed to suppress it, but after a burst of swift attacks, the Fu Xi’s Energy inside her became active once more.

It seemed to move between her organs and pathways.

"The Fuzhou Army? Aren’t they on our side? Isn’t this like spilling water on the Dragon King’s temple?"

Tu Suxuan was surprised, looking at those Skull Soldiers; their equipment indeed resembled the old equipment of the Fuzhou Army.

"That castrated ghost deceived us. Although there are no ghostly forces on the west bank of the Kutuo River, there are Skull Soldiers. These Skull Soldiers... should be Death Soldiers. Unless we slay them all, they won’t retreat. They seem to be guarding something."

Xin Lin, with a meticulous mind, noticed that the Skull Soldiers, in retreat and advance, were continuously protecting a monument.

"Guarding... let me think... I remember now, I know what they are guarding. Back during the Battle of Wangjing, the previous Emperor was nearly killed by the Beast Clan. At that time, one hundred Fuzhou Army soldiers, at the last moment, broke through by force, covering the previous Emperor’s escape from Wangjing. After the Immortal Emperor escaped Wangjing, he joined forces with other city armies and counterattacked Wangjing; all one hundred Fuzhou Army soldiers ultimately died in battle."

Tu Suxuan, spurred by Xin Lin’s reminder, suddenly remembered something.
