Gu Xiao smiled calmly, then bent his legs and got ready to go.

"oh?"

The monster obviously didn't expect Gu Xiao to be so arrogant.

However, it didn't take it seriously, and instead smiled sadly:

"Jie Jie, young people just like to dream. Do you really think that you can compete with me with just the strength of a martial artist? It's just a fool's errand."

After saying that, it suddenly stretched out its sharp claws and pinched Gu Xiao's neck.

But will Gu Xiao get what he wants?

His footsteps suddenly exploded, and his whole person turned into a phantom and flashed to the left.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Xiao's body swayed and flew a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he stopped, several vines swept behind him.

"roll!!!"

Gu Xiao swung his sword and cut off the vines instantly, then turned around.

"Whoosh——!"

However, the next second, Gu Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank!

Because where is there any trace of the monster?

"not good!"

He screamed secretly in his heart and was about to escape from where he was, but was locked by a gloomy force and couldn't move away at all!

The next moment, a huge skull slowly fell from above his head.

Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and held on, tightly grasping the hilt of the sword with both hands, and inserted the long sword into the ground, and then barely blocked the attack of the skull.

"Jie, Jie, Jie, boy, give up your resistance! I advise you to give me the treasure in your hand, otherwise, don't blame me for eating you!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Gu Xiao shouted angrily and stabbed hard with his long sword.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the skull actually received the sharp blow with its bare hands.

"Jie Jie Jie, you are indeed a magic weapon!"

The skull let out an intoxicating laugh, and then its other hand quickly grabbed Gu Xiao!

Gu Xiao didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly drew his sword across the crossbar!

Only this time, his strength was finally outmatched and he was pinched tightly by the withered bones!

The long sword in Gu Xiao's hand shattered into pieces and turned into ashes.

"Bang!"

Gu Xiao was thrown to the ground hard by the withered bones.

All this sounds slow, but in fact it only takes a short moment.

Gu Xiao felt a pain in his chest, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The withered bones leaned down again and stared at Gu Xiao with a greedy look:

"Jiejiejie...young man, please hand over the dragon ball!"

"Dragon Ball? Are you talking about Long Yuan?"

Gu Xiao frowned. In his mind, he vaguely remembered that he had read the legend about Dragon Ball in ancient books.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, the Emperor of Heaven fell in love with a female fairy. Later, the fairy became pregnant and gave birth to a crystal clear bead.

It is said that this bead is a rare treasure from heaven. It contains extremely terrifying spiritual power and is something that practitioners dream of!

However, the dragon ball has always been hidden in the dragon's cave deep in the mountains and forests.

And the direction where the dragon's lair is located is exactly north!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Could it be that that place is..."

"Jie Jie Jie, boy, you guessed it right!"

The monster smiled sinisterly.

"Humph, I think it's a story you made up randomly!"

Gu Xiao sneered disdainfully, but his mood became serious.

He must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, things will change later.

Thinking of this, he immediately adjusted his mentality and gathered his spiritual power in his Dantian.

Then, Gu Xiao suddenly got lucky and suddenly blasted out with a splitting move!

"Buzz...!!!"

Suddenly, the situation changed, there was strong wind around, and there was even thunder and lightning!

The skeletal face also suddenly changed at this moment. It seemed that it didn't expect that Gu Xiao could actually trigger strange phenomena in the world!

Moreover, this is just a move performed by a warrior in the early stage of the realm.

"roar!"

The withered bones roared angrily, and their bodies suddenly swelled several times, and at the same time they stretched out their arms to fight!

"Rumble...!"

The collision of two huge forces suddenly stirred up huge amounts of dust!

For a moment, the withered bones and Gu Xiao retreated one after another.

Gu Xiao felt like his body was churning, and his whole body ached unbearably.

Moreover, what shocked him even more was that the power displayed by the withered bones was so terrifying that he was no match at all!

"Jiejiejie, you can't do it! How can your meager strength be worthy of that dragon ball?

You’d better offer it obediently!”

As soon as the voice fell, the withered bones suddenly jumped up, and then with the roar of the wind, they rushed towards Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao's eyes were full of horror. He hurriedly activated his spiritual power to protect his body, and at the same time, he tried his best to slash with his sword.

However, when he struck the withered bone, he found that the sword seemed to strike as tough as steel.

"Pfft!"

He was so shocked that he flew backwards, his throat was so sweet that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Jie, Jie, Jie, boy, stop struggling! Your strength is even weaker than that guy from the Dragon Clan!"

The withered bone smiled sinisterly, and then he raised his right palm and slapped it suddenly.

"boom!"

This time, Gu Xiao's sword blade was shattered again, and he himself was knocked several dozen feet away!

"Ahem!"

Gu Xiao clutched his chest and gasped violently.

He got up with difficulty and wiped the blood from his mouth, with cold sweat covering his face.

"Is this the strength of the legendary ninth-level master?

This sense of oppression is really terrifying!”

He murmured, but a strong desire emerged from the bottom of his heart!

"Hahaha……!"

Suddenly, the skull looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Haha, you will eventually be defeated by me. I will make you understand the huge gap between us!"

"Shut up for me!"

Gu Xiao made an angry sound, then his eyes turned cold and he charged out again!

"boom!"

His speed increased again, and he was in front of the withered bones in an instant.

"brush!"

The long sword cut through the void and struck at the throat of the skeleton with its bright sword light!

"bite!"

The crisp sound of metal collision echoed throughout the countryside.
