"Sister, why did Charlotte say our time of death has come? Didn't the Skeleton Soldiers stop attacking?" Xiao Manxuan furrowed her attractive brows and asked in confusion.

Miss shook her head and said, "I don't know either, maybe something unfavorable to us has happened due to the disturbance just now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Skeleton Soldiers in front suddenly started to stir, pressing to both sides, or rather, avoiding something, which would be more appropriate. In just a few breaths, a long path cleared in the originally dense group of skeletons.

At the end of the path, the Xiao sisters saw a shocking scene: a Skull Warhorse was advancing at a steady pace, and mounted on this Skull Warhorse was a towering Skull Man.

The Skull Man was wearing nearly complete armor and was holding a unique weapon diagonally, a Bronze Halberd. Both the halberd blade and handle were made entirely of metal, with dragon-shaped anti-slip patterns carved on the handle, heavy and awe-inspiring.

The halberd is a combination of spear and dagger-axe, paired with a warhorse, its destructive power is enormous. Throughout history, only a handful of generals used halberds as weapons, all were figures with extraordinary combat strength.

Just the warhorse paired with the Bronze Halberd made the Skull Man's aura extraordinary. What further enhanced the Skull Man's presence were his eyes, unlike ordinary Skeleton Soldiers' hollow eyes, his were flickering with a ghostly green flame.

"This skeleton is scary," said Xiao Manxuan, a bit fearful. After all, those eyes flashing with ghostly fire inevitably made one think of ghosts.

"These are skeletons formed by condensed Evil Qi, similar to Spiritual Bodies, but they're not ghosts. However, this skeleton on the warhorse can't be considered a mere soldier anymore, he's already at the general level, though unsure of his strength. Judging by Charlotte's arrogant laughter just now, he surely is a dangerous level skeleton," Miss said, frowning, though her mind remained clear.

As if responding to Miss's words, halfway through, the Skull Warhorse suddenly accelerated, starting a charge.

The charge of the Skull Warhorse differed from that of a living warhorse—there were no neighs, and the knight did not shout; a silent charge, as if treading the steps of the Grim Reaper, reaping all living beings before it.

The charge of the warhorse was extremely swift; it rushed right in front of the Xiao sisters in an instant. The Skull War General's Bronze Halberd swung mercilessly, seemingly about to sever two beautiful heads in the next moment.

But Miss would not sit idly by. She first pushed Xiao Manxuan aside, then raised her sword to block.

With a "clang," the clash of metal echoed as the Bronze Halberd and the Longsword collided, sending Miss flying backward. The Skull War General showed no sign of stopping; as the horse charged, the Bronze Halberd thrust towards Miss in mid-air.

If this strike landed, considering the combined force of the horse and the Skull War General, one wondered whether the silkworm silk dress could withstand it. If not, it would pierce through, skewering Miss.

The situation was extremely dangerous. Xiao Manxuan, seeing her sister in a state of being struck and facing a thrusting halberd, couldn't help but cry out in panic, tears almost falling, yet helpless.

But Miss, despite being at a disadvantage, had an exceptionally clear mind. She focused on the incoming Bronze Halberd and suddenly swung her sword. This swing seemed light, yet the blade surprisingly emitted a blue sword light.

With a crisp "ding," the weapon collision didn't produce the "clang" of metal. Instead, after a "ding," the metal halberd handle broke in two.

The Skull War General instinctively froze for a moment. In that moment, Miss landed steadily, completely escaping the perilous charge.

The general had no soul or consciousness, freezing was merely a combat instinct. After a pause, it quickly resumed combat, disregarding the broken weapon and swiping the remainder as a spear at Miss.

Though the Bronze Halberd was cleaved by Miss, the break was slanted, and the tip remained sharp and lethal.

Miss, focusing on the sweeping halberd handle, lightly jumped, her toes accurately pressing on the handle, using the momentum to elevate herself, now looking down at the Skull War General.

At the highest point, Miss slashed quickly, the blue sword light on the blade suddenly intensified, and a crescent-shaped sword light detached, slashing towards the general instantly.

The power of the sword light was immense. The crescent-shaped sword light spun, first cutting the general's armor. The armor, like tofu before the sword light, posed no obstacle, sliced through effortlessly.

Not only was the armor pierced, but so was the general's body. For a normal human, such a piercing would be lethal. However, the Skull War General merely glanced at it, then immediately attacked Miss, ignoring the hole in its body.

Miss secretly cursed, realizing she hadn't considered that the skeleton's body was just a framework. Even piercing a few ribs wouldn't affect it.

Her previous combat targets were normal humans; she had no experience fighting such skeletons. Her earlier attack was an instinctive response but neglected her opponent's peculiar nature.

Facing the Skull War General's attack, Miss had no place to evade and had to raise her sword to withstand the blow. Another "clang" sounded; Miss was sent flying again. The combined strength of the general and the warhorse was overwhelming.

Moreover, she had used Detached Sword Light earlier, consuming much energy, so the sword light on her Longsword had already vanished. Thus, she was sent flying even farther, landing directly amid the skeletons.

The Skull War General charged directly, the sharp halberd handle aiming at Miss, trapping her amidst the Skeleton Soldiers and Skull War General's siege, especially after her True Qi had been heavily depleted.

"Sister..." Xiao Manxuan exclaimed, and her cry immediately drew attacks from the Skeleton Soldiers behind her. Little Zi could only interfere, unable to assist in time.

The two sisters were simultaneously in danger. It was highly likely that the next moment, two vibrant, beautiful lives would be hacked to pieces.

At this critical moment, the night sky echoed with another sharp whistle, still from Charlotte. The charging Skull War General, as if receiving a command, suddenly halted, then, without looking at Miss, turned with its horse towards the Blood-colored Barrier and vanished into it in the blink of an eye, as if only things summoned by Charlotte could pass through the barrier unimpeded.

Miss was suddenly relieved of the greatest pressure. She exerted her True Qi forcefully, swung her sword to shatter the surrounding Skeleton Soldiers, and without pausing, launched another crescent-shaped sword light to slash at the Skeleton Soldier behind Xiao Manxuan.

This time, Miss learned her lesson; the sword light directly severed the Skeleton Soldier's cervical vertebra, causing its head to drop immediately. The skeleton then turned into black mist and vanished.

Miss was only at the Postnatal Perfection Realm, yet she had forcibly used Detached Sword Light twice and took two heavy hits from the Skull War General. She couldn't hold back any longer and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, the blood pearls scattering beautifully in the air, so poignantly.
