Chapter 7: Bone Blade
The skeleton soldier was about to attack again.
Xiao Yu shouted loudly, exerting all his strength, and knocked it to the ground with a sweep of his legs; then he smashed the wooden club hard on its face. A sharp crackling sound was heard, and a crack appeared in the skeleton soldier’s skull. He hit the monster so hard to the point of damaging his own nails.
Han Kexin let out a girlish shout, hitting the same spot again with her weapon as the crack spread out rapidly.
The skeleton soldier leapt up from the ground after making a rattling noise. Its bone blade quickly swung left and right, but Xiao Yu deflected it repeatedly. He evaded every attack with the least amount of risk possible by relying on his vast fighting experience. He even launched one or two counterattacks. However, the difference in strength and speed between the two sides was too big, and the skeleton quickly forced him back.
At this moment, Han Kexin also rushed up, but the moment the club in her hand came into contact with the bone blade, she was sent flying.
“Crack!”
The skeleton soldier violently raised its blade, slashing at her. Han Kexin was unable to evade the attack in time. Her face grew pale with fright, and just as she was about to close her eyes and await death, a hand forcefully pushed her body from harm’s way.
The moment Han Kexin was pushed away, she clearly saw that the arm that helped her was directly chopped off by the bone blade instead. The blade appeared to be rather dull, yet it was actually incredibly sharp. Blood gushed out from the broken arm in an instant and splashed all over the ground.
Han Kexin looked in disbelief at the man who lost his arm to save her life; her heart stirred, and tears shimmered in her eyes as she cried out: “no, Xiao Yu!”
