Little Loki, who was always lying down silently on Tang Li Xue's right shoulder all the time, quickly stood up with a stern expression. It was ready to help Tang Li Xue at the most crucial time.

BBBOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

The giant armored skeleton swung its giant saber down with all of its strength. The moment its giant saber crashed down, the thick death Qi that wrapped the giant saber destroyed the barren ground in a radius of five meters around it.

The thick death Qi from the giant saber even extended for more than 10 meters and created a deep crack on the ground in front of the giant armored skeleton.

If this devastating attack really hit Tang Li Xue, there was no doubt that she would be crushed and turned into a pool of blood.

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue managed to regain her consciousness at the last moment and swiftly jumped to her right side, then roll for a few times right before the giant saber struck down the ground where she stood before.

Although she managed to avoid the fatal strike from the giant armored skeleton, but the shockwave from the collision moderately injured her. Some sliver of Death Qi even already seeped into her body and wreak havoc on her internal organs.

Tang Li Xue swiftly took out several talismans from her space pouch such as [Talisman of Regeneration +3] to recover her wounds, [Talisman of Lightning Speed +3] and [Talisman of Wind Step +3] to increase her speed and reflex, [Talisman of Giant Strength +3] and [Talisman of Greater Force +3] to increase her overall strength, and so on.

The giant armored skeleton gripped its giant saber harder and swung the giant saber horizontally toward Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue quickly jumped up to dodge the giant saber, but unfortunately, that slash was only a feint move!

The giant armored skeleton charged forward toward Tang Li Xue and used its armored body to crash onto Tang Li Xue!

Tang Li Xue twisted her body on mid-air to dodge it, but her move was one step too late. She could only raise both of her hands and crossed them in front of her chest to defend herself.

BBBAAAAAAAAANNNGGGG~!!!

The giant armored skeleton's body crashed heavily onto Tang Li Xue until she flew backward like a cannonball and collided hard onto the barren ground, creating a deep crater on it.

Tang Li Xue coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and her right hand was twisted to a strange angle.

Tang Li Xue coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. Even her right hand was broken and twisted to a weird angle because of the force from the crash.

'You are kidding with me, right?! That giant skeleton is not only become more powerful and sturdier, but it can even use martial arts and feint move now?! Damn it! Isn't it too OP to face any Acupuncture Opening Stage Cultivator?! I am 100 percent sure that this giant skeleton can easily thrash those core disciples from Five Virtuous Sect!' Tang Li Xue complained and cursed in her heart.

When Tang Li Xue saw that the other armies of skeletons and dried corpses merged into another three giant armored skeletons, Tang Li Xue realized that it was the time for her to fight all out or she would really die here soon enough. 

'Oiii~!!! Wake up, you Lazy Bird! It is the time for us to get serious or we will really get killed here!' Tang Li Xue shouted to wake the sleeping Phoenix of Pride in her Dantian.

YYYIIIIIIIII~!!!

The Phoenix of Pride looked really pissed off as Tang Li Xue called it Lazy Bird, but Tang Li Xue did not bother to argue with it and urged the Phoenix of Pride to merge with her.

[Perfect Assimilation]!

The scorching deep-blue flame exploded out from Tang Li Xue's slender body, and the temperature around the graveyard drastically increased in an instant as if a tiny sun was descending onto this place.

The thick Death Qi in the graveyard seems thin out and replaced by the extremely hot fire elemental.

The [Pure Sun Dragon] Bloodline in her body and veins that seems sleeping after she entered Cang Yang Mountain began to awaken again and became more active than ever.

Like an awakened mythical flame dragon, Tang Li Xue could faintly hear a dragon roar coming from her blood as every cell in her body that has a very high affinity with fire elemental assimilated perfectly with the Phoenix of Pride.

Even the nearby armored giant skeleton unconsciously took a few steps backward when it sensed the sheer intense heat emitting out from Tang Li Xue's body.

Tang Li Xue glared at the armored giant skeleton in front of her.

The deep-blue flames were flickering fiercely at the deepest part of her eyes as she said: "All right! It is my turn now!"

[Sun Dragon Flash]!

BBBOOOOOOMMM~!!!

Tang Li Xue compressed the Flame of Pride and detonated it to propel herself forward. Her speed was so fast even though she could not change the direction midway when she used her [Sun Dragon Flash].

Tang Li Xue compressed her Flame of Pride onto her left hand and swung it toward the armored giant skeleton!

[Sun Dragon Fist]!

When Tang Li Xue swung her left fist, the fist created from the compression of deep-blue Flame of Pride enlarged in an instant and struck the armored giant skeleton heavily!

BBBAAAAAAAAANNNGGGG~!!!

The armored giant skeleton raised its giant saber to block it, but its giant saber melted in an instant and its arms shattered by Tang Li Xue's strike, even its gigantic body flew tens of meters backward before it fell heavily onto the barren ground.

After entering [Perfect Assimilation] mode with Phoenix of Pride, Tang Li Xue's control over her Flame of Pride raised so much.

Thanks to that, the temperature and explosive power of her Flame of Pride also increased by several levels!

Tang Li Xue took a glance at her kill count in her system's quest log to see how much it increased after she defeated such a big skeleton.

(106/1000)

'What a tough big guy?! Even that attack still failed to kill it! Oh well… if one attack is not enough, then I only need to strike it for another three or five times until it turned to ashes!' Tang Li Xue decided as she used [Sun Dragon Flash] again to move toward the armored giant skeleton that already lost both of its bone arms and half of its giant body.

But Tang Li Xue could sense it that the Death Qi from this graveyard started to recover the armored giant skeleton's body.

'This is really troublesome! I better crush it completely now before it fully recovers!' Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she decided in her mind.

Tang Li Xue still could not use her broken right hand, but she could still use her left hand to pound the armored giant skeleton with her [Sun Dragon Fist].

But the other three armored giant skeletons did not wait until Tang Li Xue crushed one of them and charged fearlessly toward Tang Li Xue!

Tang Li Xue ignored them and focused on destroying the half-destroyed armored giant skeleton in front of her.

She condensed another fist of deep-blue flame and struck the armored giant skeleton again and again.

After striking it four times, the armored giant skeleton finally burned into nothingness under Tang Li Xue's deep-blue Flame of pride.

(206/1000)

'Woah~! 100 kill count per giant skeleton. Not bad! So, I need to kill eight more to complete the quest. I wonder what I will get from this... whatever Emperor Inheritance…' Tang Li Xue licked her pink lips in excitement and curiosity.

When Tang Li Xue destroyed one armored giant skeleton, the other three armored giant skeletons already surrounded Tang Li Xue from three different directions, and they started to attack Tang Li Xue from her right, left, and front side at once.

Tang Li Xue never had a plan to fight the three armored giant skeletons head-on at once, so she quickly avoided all of their attacks with Transcendence State of [Drifting Cloud Palm] and got out from their encirclement using [Sun Dragon Flash].

'Tsk! Unfortunately, I cannot use [Sun Dragon Claw] and [Sun Dragon Fangs] since all of my divine abilities got sealed here. If not, I can win this battle much easier.' Tang Li Xue grumbled in her mind.

Suddenly, Tang Li Xue's eyes shone brighter as a flash of inspiration came into her mind.

"Ah! That is right! Indeed, I cannot use [Sun Dragon Claw] here, but I can try to use tiger claw instead!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in excitement.

Tang Li Xue no longer hesitated and put it into practice.

Tang Li Xue started to compress the Flame of Pride on her left hand and applied it to the martial art, Transcendence State of [Crouching Tiger Claw].

Tang Li Xue's left hand executed a claw move and brandished toward one of the three armored giant skeletons from behind.

RRROOOOOOAAAAAARRR~!!!

A deafening roar of a tiger echoed through the entire graveyard as a tiger claw condensed from Flame of Pride enlarged in an instant and tore that armored giant skeleton to pieces.

The ferocious sharp Qi and extremely high temperature from the Flame of Pride blended into one as it turned that armored giant skeleton into nothingness in only a few seconds.

"Awesome~! I never thought that the result would be much better than I expected!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Tang Li Xue started to grinning happily as she used the new technique she just created to kill the other two armored giant skeletons.

She named the technique, [Flame Tiger Claw].

"Eh… Is it over already?" Tang Li Xue murmured as she felt strange because there was no more armored giant skeleton that appeared.

She glanced at the kill count in her system's quest log again.

(506/1000)

"I still need to kill 500 more… But I cannot even see or find another evil spirit anymore here. I wonder if they scared of me and went to hide?" Tang Li Xue's expression turned sour.

Just when Tang Li Xue started to get anxious since she has no more enemies she could kill to complete her quest…

RUMBLE… RUMBLE… RUMBLE…

The barren ground at the entire graveyard started to shake violently.

"What?! An earthquake at this timing?!" Tang Li Xue murmured as she frowned deeply.

CRACK… CRACK… CRACK…

The ground under her feet started to crack.

The cracking kept spreading until it formed a deep chasm and the extremely thick Death Qi burst out from inside the chasm.

Tang Li Xue's body suddenly shuddered violently when she saw a skeleton arm as big as the previous armored giant skeleton reached out from the deep chasm.

Yes, it was only a skeleton arm, but it was already as big as a giant armored skeleton over ten meters tall!

It was really hard to imagine how big this giant skeleton after all of its body coming out from the deep chasm!

"Err… Excuse me! Can I just cancel this quest and run away from here right now?! I am really scared of that giant creature, okay?!" Tang Li Xue tried to ask her system.
