The Princess And The Lord

Zhao Li Xin then sat in the lotus position he slowly stabilized his Qi then gathered his Qi in her dantian then slowly released it to fill every inch of his nerves to make sure there was no poison left in his body, a few minutes later Zhao Li Xin sighed and gradually his the color of his face returned si his cold and distant expression.

Zhao Li Xin raised from the ground and then swept his gaze to the place around him he then realized that besides fluorescent moss there were bones of humans and animals scattered all over the place, it seems that this poison does not only affect humans.

Zhao Li Xin squatted in front of the bones and then carefully examined the tracesremain clothing and jewelry left behind by the corpses and concluded that these people had died hundreds, maybe thousands of years ago.

Could they be the people who used to live in this place or the unlucky greedy treasure hunters who visited this place? Zhao Li Xin's expression remained flat despite knowing the pitiful state of these corpses, it failed to arouse any sympathy in him, what can he says he had never been a sympathetic person in the first place.

Zhao Li Xin continues looking for a way out of these strange places, strangely he can't find the path he was coming before even his footprints disappear, he then looks left and right then frowned it seems he got lost.

'Well, it's embarrassing'

Zhao Li Xin cleared her throat, he clasped his hands behind his back before continuing on his steps as if nothing had happened, however, he was secretly relieved that he was now alone because if Lory were here, she would definitely use this to tease her endlessly.

Zhao Li Xin then sharpened his five senses using his Qi, he expanded his five senses in every direction to feel any way out but for some reason, his sense feel dull and blurry it's like someone or something something is trying to block his senses as if to trap him inside.

Suddenly the ground shook then the moss let out a greenish smoke immediately Zhao Li Xin covered his nose with his sleeve because he couldn't allow herself to be poisoned again a third time because it would be too embarrassing for him to explain if Lory found out.

Zhao Li Xin then heard strange sounds of something dragging and hitting each other but he couldn't see because of all the smoke around her then he realizes that somehow all the bones around him had suddenly disappeared.

Deep wrinkles formed on his brows, there was no way the bones would move on their own, right? However, the joke on him caused when the smoke gradually subsides in front of him a giant creature made of various bones attached to each other had stood in front of him groaning heavily with dark gray smoke rising from his eye sockets.

Zhao Li Xin's eyes widened in surprise but then a scary grin appeared on his mouth, "Look at that... new things every day, how exciting!"

The skull monster slammed its giant skull fist above Zhao Li Xin but with a graceful movement Zhao Li Xin swiftly jumped into the air and then landed on the skull fist, the skull monster swung its other fist at Zhao Li Xin but again Zhao Li Xin dodged with agile movements he floated in the air then landed on the giant skull's arm and dashed swiftly towards the skull's shoulder then threw a powerful kick towards the skull's head.

The sound of bones breaking was heard. Zhao Li Xin managed to shatter the jaws of the skull and made the monster stagger.

Provoked by Zhao Li Xin the monster wildly threw its palm at Zhao Li Xin like someone swatting a mosquito but like a mosquito Zhao Li Xin dodged easily which irritated the monster even more.

The monster's movement became more and more chaotic, its body swaying wildly left and right causing the cave walls to shatter, and every time the monster roared the whole cave shook violently but Zhao Li Xin didn't feel intimidated or care, it was like he was playing with the monster.

Zhao Li Xin then kicked the back of the monster's head until it broke off and fell to the ground, the head that was made of hundreds of skulls was shattered but after a while, the skull rejoined as before then the skull monster took his head and put it back on his neck slowly adjust its head.

"How convenient..." Zhao Li Xin tilted his head, his brows arching in slight amusement.

The monster groaned heavily, and suddenly its hands turned into giant claws with long pointed fingers like sharp blades, however, seeing that the monster had dual abilities, Zhao Li Xin's eyes shone with deep interest.

"This must be fun," Zhao Li Xin smirked.

He kicked his leg then shot like an arrow at the same time the skull monster swung its claws at Zhao Li Xin but he swiftly dodged the attacks he gathered all his Qi in his hands and punched the skull but each timehe manage to crushed the skulls the shattered skulls reassemble again and again and the more Zhao Li Xin ruined the skulls the faster the monster repaired itself which made Zhao Li Xin's attacked seem futile.

Zhao Li Xin wasn't discouraged, after all, he hadn't unleashed his true strength yet, he was just wondering how far this creature could go.

But out of nowhere, Zhao Li Xin heard a faint voice strike his head.

"Kill.... us"

Zhao Li Xin's forehead creased tightly but the monster's claws swung towards his face again forcing him to shift and then take a long jump away from the monster but then the strange voice sounded again.

'This place...cold...empty...dark...we know our mistakes...we realize our deeds...'

The voice did not seem to come from one person but from many people talking, the voices of old people, young people, men, and women mixed and piled up talking simultaneously creating an odd sound.

'We have learned our mistakes... we have paid for our sins... please forgive us...'

Their pleas and sorrows filled Zhao Li Xin's head like needles stabbing his brain causing him a massive headache.

Unfortunately, the monster continued to attack Zhao Li Xin relentlessly while the pain in his head continued to increase, Zhao Li Xin felt that he would most likely die from this headache rather than be killed by that ugly monster.

<strong>"SHUT UP!"</strong> Zhao Li Xin shout as he squeezed his head with both his hands.

A sharp gust of wind came from in front of him and giant claws reach to his head thanks to his reflex Zhao Li Xin managed to dodge again but his movements this time weren't as agile as before because of the headache he landed heavily onto the ground followed by swiftly created a protective array around him to temporarily block monster attacks.

And for a moment he was saved inside the array while the monster wildly attack the array.

Zhao Li Xin takes a deep breath to compose himself then he takes a lotus position on the ground, later on, he tries to communicate with the voice inside his head hopefully they can communicate with him.

"Who are you?" Zhao Li Xin started to communicate.

And the voice replied 'We are the ones who broke our oath... We are the ones who disobeyed our King's orders... we have betrayed our emperor...'

Zhao Li Xin was stunned but only for a second soon the ripple in his heart cool down then he continued.

"Who is your King?"

'Our King..His Majesty Emperor Lei Yu'

Zhao Li Xin expected but still, he was surprised by this, therefore, he probe further "How did you guys betray your king?"
