Time returns to outside the castle.
They were captured by the False God's minions as early as when Wang Fan and his companions were fighting the skeleton soldiers.
Sensing the fierce battle inside the castle, these henchmen instantly realized the situation was dire.
They knew in their hearts that someone must have broken into the castle and was fighting the Skeleton King.
If the Skeleton Demon Lord becomes angry, they will be severely punished.
So they were extremely anxious and determined to rush into the castle to help.
However, Lie Yan and Yan Batian stood like two towering mountains in front of them, holding them back tightly.
The group was led by several men in black robes, their faces filled with anxiety.
One of the men in black robes gritted his teeth and said, "Someone must have broken into the castle! We must end this battle quickly!"
Lie Yan had a vague idea that the people fighting inside the castle were likely Wang Fan and his group.
Moreover, there are some important figures in it.
Therefore, he decisively said to Yan Batian, "Batian, no matter what, we must stop them! We cannot let them set foot in the castle!"
Although Yan Batian was unhappy, he was a very important figure in the Yan family, yet he was being treated as a mere thug.
But he was also aware of the seriousness of the matter; if these henchmen were allowed in, it could lead to irreparable consequences.
Left with no other choice, he could only snort coldly and reluctantly reply, "Understood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the greatsword in Lieyan's hand instantly burst into flames, the blade seemingly enveloped in magma, radiating a scorching aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
He shouted and swung his greatsword fiercely.
A fiery sword aura several meters long roared out, like a roaring fire dragon, rushing towards the man in black robes.
Wherever it passed, the air was distorted by the high temperature, making a "sizzling" sound.
At the same time, Yan Batian was not to be outdone.
He gripped the large sword tightly with both hands, flames surging and dancing on its blade like a fiery serpent.
Yan Batian roared and poured all his strength into his greatsword, slashing down fiercely at another man in black robes.
A massive fiery blade of light slashed out instantly, with overwhelming force, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Upon seeing this, the men in black robes all used their methods to deal with the situation.
A man in black robes waved his staff, and a dark barrier instantly appeared, attempting to block the impact of the fiery sword energy.
The fiery sword energy collided with the dark barrier, erupting with dazzling light.
The dark barrier trembled violently under the impact of the sword energy, and cracks rapidly spread outwards.
Another man in black robes seized the opportunity, his figure flashing like a ghost as he bypassed the fiery blade light and pounced towards Yan Batian.
The dagger in his hand gleamed with an eerie black light, aimed straight at Yan Batian's throat.
Yan Batian was not afraid at all. He dodged to the side and easily avoided the fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his sword backhand, the blade blazing with intense heat, and slashed fiercely at the man in black robes.
The man in black robes quickly raised his arms to defend himself.
However, Yan Batian's strike caused his arm to go numb, blood to spill from his tiger's mouth, and he had to retreat repeatedly.
As the battle continued, the fighting inside the castle intensified.
The terrifying screams of the Skeleton Demon Lord could be faintly heard.
The sound made the black-robed men even more anxious. One of them shouted angrily at Lie Yan and Yan Batian, "You two ignorant fools, get out of my way! If anything happens to our master, you will both be buried with him!"
Lie Yan sneered, his greatsword flashing with flames as he shouted back, "You bunch of traitors dare to threaten me?"
"If you want to go in and save your master, first ask this greatsword in my hand if it agrees!"
As he spoke, Lie Yan swung his greatsword again, and an even more powerful fiery sword aura shot towards the man in black robes.
Yan Batian also shouted loudly, "That's right, none of you will get past here today!"
He gripped the broadsword tightly with both hands, and the flames around his body grew even stronger, making him look like a burning war god, full of menacing power.
Another man in black robes grinned menacingly and said viciously, "You think you can stop us? Once our master comes out, you'll all die a horrible death!"
As he spoke, he and his henchmen attacked desperately, trying to break through Lie Yan and Yan Batian's defenses.
Inside the castle, the Skeleton Demon Lord's screams grew increasingly shrill, as if he were suffering immense pain.
The men in black robes were extremely anxious, and their attacks became even more frantic.
Lie Yan and Yan Batian were gradually unable to hold on.
They were already wounded in several places, and their physical strength was exhausted from the intense battle.
Moreover, the teams they led also suffered heavy losses.
Many members of the Yan family fell victim to the dark magic of the man in black robes, their blood staining the ground outside the castle.
Yan Batian began to have second thoughts.
During a lull in the battle, he secretly glanced at Lie Yan, thinking to himself, "If this continues, I'll die here sooner or later."
"Since we don't know what's going on inside anyway, why don't we just sneak away with the Yan family?"
Just as he was torn between his inner thoughts and about to take action, a violent explosion suddenly came from inside the castle.
The shockwave from the explosion made the ground tremble.
The surrounding air felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible giant hand, making it hard to breathe.
Immediately afterwards, the Skeleton Demon Lord's shrill screams came to an abrupt halt.
The man in black robes, Lie Yan, and Yan Batian all stopped immediately.
Yan Batian was overjoyed, thinking that the crisis was over.
