That pig-killing knife was his life’s treasure.
Back in the day, he used this knife to slaughter countless pigs and sheep, but ultimately died at the hands of this very knife, then, through a series of coincidences, ended up in the Ghost Zone.
With the pig-killing knife broken, he suffered a heavy blow, and it was uncertain how long he would be able to survive.
What Butcher Maxwell couldn’t understand was: how did the pig-killing knife break?
And it was broken completely.
How could the scales of this beast be so hard?
No, it’s not just hardness, there must be something else strange going on!
He had cut down with the knife, not forcefully hacking down.
If it were merely hard, at most it wouldn’t be able to cut through, and the edge would break at best, but how could it be completely broken?
Butcher Maxwell stared at Little Loach in shock and disbelief.
After thinking for a while, he decided it was better to play it safe.
He secretly sent out a signal, and the most powerful beings in the Ghost Zone, who were asleep, slowly opened their eyes.
Little Loach felt the surrounding Yin energy grow stronger, thinking it was interesting.
Its tail was still splashing in the River Water.
Slap!
It hit something, and that thing sank down with a gurgling sound.
Little Loach looked puzzled: “It seems like I hit something?
What could it be?”
Butcher Maxwell immediately spat out a mouthful of dark energy.
For ghosts, this was equivalent to vomiting blood.
He saw clearly that the most powerful beings had appeared, led by the Drowned Ghost Princess!
She was a water ghost with a thousand years of cultivation.
It was only natural that she appeared first, as her sleeping place was in the water, and this place was by the Riverside.
Butcher Maxwell saw a dark shadow rising from beneath the water’s surface, her long hair covering half of the river.
Hidden behind the black hair was a pale face, whose unparalleled beauty was marred by a pair of blood-red eyes.
On her cheeks were three watermarks, proving that she was already the Water Ghost Queen of three Great Rivers.
She had come to conquer the fourth Great River: the Rebellious River!
As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere on the entire river surface was dark and icy.
However, she had hardly emerged when she was slapped down by this beast’s tail!
How could it possibly hit the right spot!?
Butcher Maxwell roared in his heart.
She was at the level of Ghost Emperor, far surpassing ordinary Ghost Kings.
She had once conquered three rivers of the same level as the Rebellious River!
Such a powerful being, capable of moving mountains to fill seas, could be slapped down by a tail like this????
Moreover, a long time passed after the Drowned Ghost Princess was slapped down, and she still didn’t resurface.
This was even stranger.
If it was just an accidental slap, the Drowned Ghost Princess would have been outraged and killed this beast immediately.
Not appearing meant…
she had really been stunned and hadn’t come to yet.
Little Loach glanced into the water and saw something down there, but since it was hiding, Little Loach didn’t bother.
Rattle… Rattle… Rattle…
Neat and dense rolling sounds came from all directions, converging towards Little Loach.
Butcher Maxwell finally let out a sigh of relief: “That one is here!”
One by one, pale skulls rolled in from a distance, and the number kept increasing, gradually filling the entire field of vision with ghostly white, creating a feeling of being surrounded by mountains!
When the skulls rolled in front of Butcher Maxwell’s house, they piled up one by one, quickly forming a hundred feet tall giant skeleton!
Its torso, limbs, facial features, clothes, long hair, and so on, were all made up of skulls of various sizes.
Butcher Maxwell quietly hid behind it.
The Lord of the Skeleton Sea was even more powerful!
The giant Lord of the Skeleton Sea swept a glance, and everything in the Ghost Zone was clear to him.
He spoke, his voice hoarse with the sound of bones: “For this little thing, you awaken us?”
Butcher Maxwell really wanted to remind the Lord of the Skeleton Sea not to be careless.
This little creature had just slapped the Drowned Ghost Princess and she still hadn’t resurfaced.However, by saying that, the Drowned Ghost Princess seemed unable to save face and could only awkwardly say, “My Lord, this beast is quite strange.”
Lord of the Skeleton Sea sneered and looked down at Little Loach from his high vantage point.
Then he realized that Little Loach was also staring back at him with round, wide eyes.
Lord of the Skeleton Sea became uneasy at Little Loach’s gaze, as it focused on a particular bone on his body.
Lord of the Skeleton Sea was secretly surprised: could it be possible?
Clatter, clatter, clatter…
The body of Lord of the Skeleton Sea suddenly shifted and changed, returning to normal after a moment.
Although it appeared the same as before, the many skulls had rearranged themselves to be in different positions.
Upon looking down, he saw Little Loach’s round, wide eyes still staring at him—this time at a different spot on his body.
It was still the same piece of bone!
Even after he had changed its position, how could this small creature still find it?!
Was it a coincidence?
Lord of the Skeleton Sea refused to believe it.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of skulls on his body, how could Little Loach pinpoint that particular one?
That bone was just a piece of a skullcap, forming part of a skull.
Aside from Lord of the Skeleton Sea himself, no one knew that this piece of skullcap was the very origin of his existence!
As incredible as it might sound, the mountainous Lord of the Skeleton Sea had grown bit by bit from that single piece of skullcap.
This skullcap was his core and also his only weakness.
He had met many formidable enemies before, but none of them had ever seen through this.
Even the few beings with equal status in the Ghost Zone didn’t have this ability.
What was going on?
“Woo-ahh—!” With a long howl, the Lord of the Skeleton Sea’s form completely collapsed, raining down like a torrent of skulls that even engulfed Butcher Maxwell.
These skulls no longer formed a giant human figure, morphing into a palace instead.
Above it, an even larger skull appeared.
This time, the Lord of the Skeleton Sea hid that piece of skullcap deep within the palace.
The enormous skull atop the palace then tilted its head to observe Little Loach.
The entire palace quivered as the Lord of the Skeleton Sea unmistakably felt Little Loach’s gaze piercing through the layers of bones and landing on the very skullcap once again.
“Aaah!
Aaah!
Aaah! freēnovelkiss.com
Aaaah!”
Feeling an awkward pang on his back, Lord of the Skeleton Sea roared in anger, and a veil of deathly aura surged to the sky, stirring the dark clouds to roll and swirl overhead.
Butcher Maxwell, trembling all over, exclaimed, “The Lord of the Skeleton Sea is furious and about to manifest his supreme divine power!”
Thwack—
Lord of the Skeleton Sea’s entire form disintegrated, with skull after skull rolling away in all directions.
They vanished without a trace like a quickly receding tide.
Butcher Maxwell was baffled: what just happened?
He could sense that Lord of the Skeleton Sea hadn’t gone too far, and that those skulls had dispersed and hidden throughout the nearby Ghost Zone.
But why did he roar, stirring the wind and clouds, only to… cower away?
At the same time, Butcher Maxwell sensed that the Drowned Ghost Princess was slowly rising in the river waters, hiding just beneath the surface about half a fathom down.
She appeared to be observing something.
Butcher Maxwell looked at Little Loach with growing reverence, unsure how it had managed to scare away the Lord of the Skeleton Sea.
Little Loach, however, was filled with regret.
It had discovered what must have been a delicious piece of bone, but after staring at it for too long, the bones had all hidden themselves away.
If only it had known this would happen—it wouldn’t have watched so intently… it would’ve just rushed to eat it!
