Then without any hesitation, those skeletal hands came out of the ground with the rest of those skeletal bodies, jumping out in front of Lin Fan.
These were skeletons made of completely white bones that suddenly jumped out of the ground. Lin Fan wasn't sure where these bones had come from, but they definitely weren't an illusion as the skeleton charged out at Lin Fan.
These skeletons were different from just normal skeletons, some of them were actually wearing armour and there was even one in the center that had a robe around it.
As the first skeleton approached, Lin Fan raised his sword to block the bone sword that was approaching him.
The moment the bone sword came down and met his white sword, there was only a single second of pause before Lin Fan was sent flying from the chair. Lin Fan flew through the air and slammed into the wall behind him.
With the force that he had been sent flying at, Lin Fan should have broken the wall and flew through it to the next room, but there seemed to be some kind of energy that was protecting it which stopped that.
Though even if there was some form of energy protecting the wall, that didn't mean that there was something to protect Lin Fan..
He had been caught off guard and hit with a force that far exceeded what he had expected, there was no doubt that he would be injured from that.
There were two factors that stopped Lin Fan from suffering even heavier injuries.
One was the suction force that Lin Fan had. At the very last second, Lin Fan had released this power to protect himself, enabling him to negate some of the power behind the strike that should have hurt him.
The second was his naturally strong body that was at a higher level compared to his cultivation. With those stronger body, it meant that he was much tougher compared to other cultivators at the same level, which had helped him resist part of the force as well.
Lin Fan looked at the skeleton that had hit him with a surprised look. This skeleton was actually in the Child Soul Realm!
While it was only the low Child Soul Realm, that was still shocking enough. That was because there wasn't just a single one of these skeleton warriors.
There were four identical skeleton warriors and there was another one in a robe that hadn't made a move yet.
Even without them making a move, Lin Fan could tell just from the aura that they released that all of them were in the low Child Soul Realm.
For Faust to control this many skeletons in the low Child Soul Realm, he had to be at least in the mid Child Soul Realm, but Lin Fan suspected that his cultivation was even higher than that.
That wasn't good for Lin Fan because while he was confident in fighting those in the low Child Soul Realm, to fight all these skeletons along with Faust at the same time, it would be without a doubt quite draining on him.
But it wasn't like Lin Fan had a choice since he knew that the current Faust wouldn't let him go.
The current Faust was like a mad dog that wanted nothing more than to bite Lin Fan. He was also muttering something under his breath, but Lin Fan didn't have time to hear what it was since the skeletons started moving towards him.
The skeletons weren't like the ghosts, which meant that at the very least, Lin Fan could use his laws to fight them.
Lin Fan released his five pets who immediately took off in different directions.
Faust also saw them, but he completely ignored them as he focused on Lin Fan, sending the skeletons only after Lin Fan.
The five pets immediately released their life energy and created the array around Lin Fan, injecting them with the energy of their laws.
Lin Fan released his own laws, but unlike before, there was also something different about him. This time, there was a tenth law that he could release to go along with the rest of his laws.
When Lin Fan released this new death law, he immediately felt the pressure that came with adding this new law. It had already been hard enough on his body before with nine laws, but now this tenth law created a pressure that was unlike anything that Lin Fan had felt before.
This pressure was almost strong enough to completely make Lin Fan collapse if it wasn't for something that suddenly happened.
With this pressure on Lin Fan, the two suns in his dantian wildly released energy to repair his body. It was during this process that Lin Fan felt his bottleneck loosen.
As the pressure fell on him, the bottleneck slowly loosened until it finally just broke and Lin Fam broke through to the next realm.
There was a large swirl of energy that appeared with Lin Fan in the center, wildly pouring into his body as his cultivation rose into the Embryo Soul Realm. At the same time, there was a wild burst of burning energy that came from the suns in his dantian which refined Lin Fan's body until it reached the next realm.
Just standing there under the pressure of the ten laws, Lin Fan broke through to the Embryo Soul Realm while his physique reached the Child Soul Realm.
Just like that, the pressure on him slowly disappeared.
Well it didn't just completely disappear since the pressure from combining ten laws was immense, but it was much smaller compared to before.
Lin Fan looked down at his own hands before turning to the skeleton that was approaching him.
When Lin Fan had broken through, the power that entered him had pushed away the approaching skeleton, but now that that had stopped, the skeleton warrior was coming at him once again.
However, the skeleton seemed to be moving much slower compared to before.
With a single sweep of his sword, Lin Fan easily stopped the bone sword with his own sword. Not only that, with a single sweep, he blew away the skeleton just like he had been blow away earlier.
The skeleton slammed into the wall like he had and unlike Lin Fan, this skeleton wasn't able to resist the power behind Lin Fan's slash. The moment the skeleton hit the wall, it shattered to pieces and the various bones dropped to the floor.
The other skeletons didn't show any fear even after seeing what had happened to their compatriot and continued charging at Lin Fan. They surrounded him and attacked him at the same time, but their fates were no different from the other skeleton earlier as they too were swept away with a single slash. Not only that, they were all swept away with the same slash.
While they were attacking, the one skeleton in the robe also made its move.
It had gathered a ball of flame in its skeletal hand which it threw out at Lin Fan.
With his spiritual senses released around him, naturally Lin Fan has noticed this and he dealt with it with ease. All it took was a single slash for Lin Fan to cut through this ball of flame and not only that, Lin Fan also released a slash of energy out with this slash that was targeted at the skeleton in the robe.
The skeleton in the robe created another ball of flames that it threw at the energy slash, but the energy slash cut through it like it was nothing as it continued forward at the skeleton in the robe. Finally it hit the skeleton in the robe and this skeleton wasn't even sent flying as it was turned to pieces by this slash.
With just three simple slashes, Lin Fan has taken care of five skeletons that were in the Child Soul Realm.
Of course, these skeletons weren't as strong as normal experts in the Child Soul Realm since they were nothing but mindless undead that followed orders. They weren't able to fight as well as experts that could freely think, so they weren't as flexible even if their life energy was in the Child Soul Realm.
But of course, it wouldn't end there.
This was where the specialty of a necromancer came into play.
While these skeletons were weaker than normal experts at the same level, they had one thing going for them which normal experts didn't have. It was that after they were defeated, they had the ability to regain their strength.
These skeletons were summoned with the life energy of Faust, so as long as he had more life energy, he would be able to summon them again and again without fail.
Skeletons at this level were nothing for Faust, so he waved his hand and more skeptics instantly appeared.
Unlike last time, there weren't just five skeletons that appeared, this time there were twenty skeletons that appeared.
Another thing different was that there weren't just sword skeletons and the skeleton in the robe, this time there were skeletons with shields and skeletons with bows.
With their composition, it was almost like an entire army, though their numbers were a bit low for it to be called an army.
Nevertheless, it was clear that this group of skeletons would be different from before. The group that had been summoned before should have been a test for Lin Fan. This time, it seemed like Faust was fighting with a proper plan.
Still Lin Fan wasn't worried.
