"You are a prisoner." Yun Lintian spoke up.
The guardian's empty sockets seemed to darken. "Prisoner? No. I am the Warden he could not break." It raised a skeletal hand, and the death energy in the air condensed into a massive scythe. "And you... you will join the others who failed to wake me."
Yun Lintian didn't hesitate. He swung the Heaven Sunderer in a horizontal arc, unleashing a wave of golden energy that split the earth. The guardian met it head-on, its scythe clashing against the greatsword with a thunderous boom.
BOOM!!
Yue Yun cursed. "This thing's strong!"
Lin Yitong's hands glowed with emerald energy as she summoned vines to anchor herself. "It's using the God of Death's head as a power source! We need to separate them!"
The skeletal guardian's scythe collided with Yun Lintian's Heaven Sunderer, sending shockwaves rippling through the ruined landscape. The ground beneath them cracked and splintered, unable to withstand the force of their clash.
