Just as they were about to reach the depths of the castle, the Skeleton King's voice, filled with terror and rage, rang out once more.
The cry echoed through the castle's passageways, carrying a chilling despair.
The men in black robes stopped abruptly, their anxiety instantly replaced by fear.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and unease.
What could possibly have caused the usually powerful and arrogant Skeleton Demon Lord to let out such a panicked cry?
"Could it be...could it be that Master has encountered an opponent that even he cannot contend with?" one of the men in black robes said, his lips trembling, his voice filled with barely concealed fear.
"Impossible! Master is..." Another man in black robes was about to retort.
But he swallowed the words back, because the situation was just too bizarre.
Just then, a burst of intense black light erupted from the depths of the castle.
The light contained a powerful and unfamiliar force, which made the man in black robes feel a chill run down his spine.
Wherever the light touched, everything in the passage melted away as quickly as ice and snow.
Some of the weaker black-robed figures were even made unsteady by the light and had to retreat repeatedly.
"What...what kind of power is this?" The men in black robes stared in horror at the crimson light, trying to find a place to hide.
However, the light came too suddenly, and they had nowhere to hide.
Within the black light, a blurry figure seemed to appear and disappear.
The men in black robes stared wide-eyed, trying to see who the figure was.
But the light was too dazzling for them to look at directly.
"Could it be... that intruder? How could he have driven our master to such a predicament?" a man in black robes guessed, his voice filled with disbelief.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
The intense black light suddenly receded like a tide, and the passage returned to relative darkness.
The people in black robes cautiously looked in the direction where the light had disappeared.
A figure stood at the end of the passage, with the scattered remains of the Skeleton Demon Lord beside him.
Upon seeing this, the men in black robes felt a chill run down their spines.
They never imagined that these intruders, whom they had originally regarded as ants, would become so powerful.
They actually killed their powerful master—the Skeleton Demon Lord.
"This...this is impossible!" A man in black robes couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with terror and despair.
"Our master is dead, what should we do?" another man in black robes said, trembling, and involuntarily took a step back.
At this moment, the men in black robes were in complete turmoil.
Their eyes widened, and fear overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.
For a moment, they stood there, stunned and at a loss.
Meanwhile, after dealing with the Skeleton Demon Lord, Wang Fan quickly turned around to make sure all the women were safe and sound.
Seeing that they were somewhat disheveled but otherwise unharmed, Wang Fan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
He then turned his gaze to the group of black-robed men standing motionless in the middle of the road.
In fact, this was already happening during the battle with the Skeleton Demon Lord.
He sensed the presence of the man in black robes through his keen perception.
At the time, I was focused on the fierce battle with the Skeleton Demon Lord and had no time to pay attention to them.
At this moment, Wang Fan looked at these men in black robes, his eyes instantly turning icy cold.
Holding the Bloodthirsty Halberd, he slowly walked towards the man in black robes, each step steady and powerful, as if stepping on the man's heart.
The lingering power of the Skeleton Demon Lord on the halberd exuded an eerie aura, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
As the men in black robes watched Wang Fan approach step by step, their fear intensified.
They instinctively gripped their weapons, but their arms trembled uncontrollably.
One of the men in black robes mustered his courage and stammered, "You...you stay away! There are so many of us...if you dare to make a move, you won't come out unscathed!"
Wang Fan sneered, his voice slicing through the air like an ice blade: "A bunch of traitors, do you think you still have the right to threaten me?"
Having said that, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the man in black robes like a streak of blood-red lightning.
Wang Fan had assumed that even if these men in black robes were afraid, they would fight back to the death.
After all, they had committed numerous evils and knew that they would not have a good end if they fell into my hands.
However, to his surprise, the men in black robes saw him approaching with a menacing air.
They instantly lost all courage and ran away one by one.
His panicked appearance made it seem as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing him.
Wang Fan's eyes sharpened, and he swung the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd without hesitation.
Several streaks of crimson halberd light shot out like sharp arrows, accurately striking the last few black-robed men running behind.
"Ah!" Accompanied by several screams, the bodies of the black-robed men were pierced by the halberd's edge.
He collapsed to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then fell silent.
Hearing their companion's screams, the other men in black robes ran even faster and disappeared into the darkness of the passage in the blink of an eye.
Wang Fan watched their fleeing figures, snorted coldly, and was too lazy to chase after them.
Although he was victorious after a fierce battle with the Skeleton Demon Lord.
However, the physical and mental exertion is enormous.
Chasing after these black-robed men who were like stray dogs at this point would be a losing proposition.
Moreover, Wang Fan knew in his heart that these black-robed men were nothing more than the henchmen of a false god, and killing them would certainly be satisfying.
But more importantly, we need to find all the false gods in order to completely destroy this evil force.
He turned around, looked at the women, and a tired but relieved smile appeared on his face: "Alright, we're safe for now. These guys are nothing to worry about. Let's find a place to rest and recover our strength."
The women nodded in agreement and then followed Wang Fan out of the castle.
When they stepped out of the castle, they discovered that Lie Yan and Yan Batian's team, who were supposed to be outside the castle keeping the false god's henchmen in check, had vanished.
Everyone was taken aback, their faces full of confusion.
Qin Xiaoxuan spoke first, "Strange, where are Lie Yan and Yan Batian? We could sense them fighting nearby before, but now there's no sound at all?"
Hua Nianci frowned slightly and said softly, "Yes."
Su Yaqi chimed in, "Could it be that some unexpected situation arose and they left?"
Su Yalin, standing to the side, said angrily, "Hmph, I bet they deserted at the last minute!"
Xiao Meng chimed in, "Exactly! It's so disappointing!"
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became, especially since they had previously agreed to fight against the false god together.
How could they just leave like that, without even saying goodbye?
Wang Fan took a deep breath, though he was also somewhat dissatisfied.
But she calmly said, "Forget it, no matter what, we can only rely on ourselves from now on. Everyone should get back to normal first, and then we can think about what to do next."
Hearing Wang Fan's words, the women suppressed their anger and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the group found a secluded and relatively safe cave outside the castle and went inside to rest and recover.
