Chapter 852: Do You Think This Deity Has No Temper

At this moment, Lou Benwei was arching his backside, hugging a pile of immortal crystals, blissfully lost in a dream.

Three hundred immortal crystals.

It had been a long time since he’d felt this rich.

In his dream, he was surrounded by three hundred beautiful maidens. They were all over him, touching him, tormenting him, humiliating him...

Of course, that wasn’t the most important part. The most important part was that he realized he could do it again. It had grown back...

*Boom!*

A loud explosion suddenly jolted Lou Benwei awake just as the dream was getting to the good part.

Sun Li’s powerful strike slammed directly into Lou Benwei’s body, causing a cloud of smoke to rise and a shockwave to ripple out in all directions.

“Hmph, prepare to retrieve the sword!”

Sun Li sneered as he watched the smoke, then casually waved his hand to disperse it.

When the center of the explosion was revealed, the smug expression on Sun Li’s face froze.

His attack hadn’t even managed to scatter the skeleton, let alone harm it in the slightest.

“Look, it’s moving!”

Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone turned their gazes.

Sure enough.

The skeleton, with a sword sticking out of its backside, was slowly rising from the ground.

It seemed to be in a bit of a foul mood from being woken up.

First, it looked down at its crotch.

Then it was enraged.

Absolutely furious.

“Which piece of trash dared to disturb this scoundrel’s sweet dream?”

Lou Benwei glared at Sun Li and the others, his face full of anger.

“Ah!”

“It can talk!”

“It’s moving! Isn’t it dead?”

Many couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Sun Li, too, was on guard, cautiously observing Lou Benwei.

He closed his eyes for a moment, seemingly trying to sense Lou Benwei’s presence, but it was as if the skeleton didn’t exist.

He chuckled.

“Hmph, it’s just a dead thing. What’s there to fear?”

With a careless smirk, he said, “This skeleton can move and speak because it still has a bit of residual consciousness left after death!”

“If it were alive, we wouldn’t stand a chance against it. But now, it’s just clinging to its last breath. Surely we can handle it, right?”

Hearing the well-informed Sun Li’s explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“I suspect the reason we can’t pull out the sword is because of this lingering breath.”

“In that case...”

At this point, Sun Li’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp, gleaming sword radiating an intense aura appeared in his hand.

“I’ll just send you to eternal rest. Consider it a good deed on my part!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his wrist flicked.

The sword in his hand immediately radiated a dazzling light, and a powerful aura surged forth.

It was clear that Sun Li was going all out with this strike.

Although he spoke dismissively, in his heart, he didn’t underestimate this skeleton in the slightest. After all, the fact that it had taken his earlier strike unscathed was still fresh in his mind.

But with this strike, he was completely confident he could sever the skeleton’s last breath.

Because this sword strike...

Could split mountains!

In an instant, the sword was above Lou Benwei’s head.

Even before the blade descended, the air around Lou Benwei had been completely cut away, leaving behind sharp, blade-like energy currents.

In this situation, a pale, bony finger rose up, seemingly intending to block the sword with just a finger.

“Truly a mindless creature.”

“To think it could stop my strike with a finger? How utterly ridiculous.”

Sun Li sneered.

With a final push, the sword closed the last bit of distance.

The next moment, the sword collided with that pale finger.

*Ding!*

A crisp sound rang out, and the sword, which had been glowing brightly, shattered into pieces in an instant.

Sun Li’s smug expression instantly turned into one of complete shock.

His entire body trembled.

“H-how is this possible?”

He stared at Lou Benwei as if he’d seen a ghost.

After all, this sword was a reward given to him by the Three Lives Sect for his great contributions.

Its rank was among the top three in the entire Three Lives Sect.

If taken outside, it could spark a frenzy among countless experts.

Yet such a peerless sword had been reduced to dust by a single finger?

At this moment, Sun Li and the others felt like their brains had short-circuited.

Just then, a skeletal hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Sun Li by the neck.

In the next instant, he was pulled forward.

A face that looked like the grim reaper’s leaned in close to his.

The sight was enough to scare the soul out of him.

Then, a hoarse voice drifted into his ear.

“Where did this piece of trash come from? Do you think this deity has no temper?”
