**Chapter 1120: They Are Not Worthy of Being Buried with Him**

"Starburst!"

True to its name, the arrow burst like a star. Under the enveloping domain of laws, countless arrows rained down, exploding in the starry sky.

The starry sky shook violently, and the Golden Python's domain of laws contracted into an egg shape, tightly protecting itself. 

The sharp arrows struck the eggshell, causing it to deform constantly, as if it could shatter at any moment.

But unexpectedly, the archer Xu Jianxing, who led the attack, suddenly let out a miserable cry and spat out fresh blood as he was flung away.

Xu Jianxing didn't panic. As he was thrown back, he still shot an arrow, but it wasn't aimed at the Golden Python. Instead, it was shot towards the space in front of him.

A golden light flashed, and a hair-thin golden thread was severed by the arrow.

"Hehe, how does it feel to be hit by your own attack? Not good, is it!" 

A cold laugh rang out, and the Golden Python flew out from the eggshell, stretching its massive body.

Its domain of laws opened again, enveloping Xu Jianxing instead.

Xu Jianxing's face was now pale, with blood at the corners of his mouth, and his domain of laws had also weakened.

Originally, the two were evenly matched in strength, but now Xu Jianxing was clearly at a disadvantage.

As an outsider, Lin Moyu saw it clearly.

The Golden Python had silently extended a tiny thread and attached it to Xu Jianxing's domain of laws.

Xu Jianxing's attacks were redirected by this thread, essentially making him attack himself.

Although Xu Jianxing was injured, his gaze remained clear, showing no signs of retreat. "Golden Thirteen, do you think you can devour me?"

It seemed that the Golden Python and Xu Jianxing knew each other, and there was enmity between them.

Golden Thirteen laughed out loud, "Of course I can't devour you alone. Even if you're going to die, Xu Jianxing, you'll probably drag me down to be buried with you."

"But what if there are others?"

As Golden Thirteen's words fell, a slender sword suddenly appeared behind Xu Jianxing's back.

Xu Jianxing's expression changed drastically. He twisted his body, and starlight flickered under his feet as he moved away by a thousand kilometers, as if teleporting.

His reaction was fast enough, but still a step too slow.

The sword was like a venomous snake, piercing through his abdomen and leaving a small wound on his body.

The wound was small, but blood flowed endlessly.

"Boom!"

With a soft sound, the wound exploded, and the originally finger-sized wound instantly became as large as a bowl. Xu Jianxing's body was almost severed, leaving a gaping hole.

Although physical injuries were not a big deal for cultivators, Xu Jianxing didn't have time to heal right now.

Moreover, the attack wasn't just aimed at his physical body but also targeted his soul.

Xu Jianxing's soul was also impacted, and he spat out fresh blood, his face becoming even paler.

Xu Jianxing didn't bother with the wound and said coldly, "An assassin from the Shadow Clan."

The owner of the slender sword revealed his figure, dressed entirely in a black robe, covering his whole body – clearly the attire of the Shadow Clan.

The Shadow Clan member sneered, "Xu Jianxing, a True God Peak from the Divine City, am I right?"

This was when Lin Moyu learned that Xu Jianxing was from the Divine City, which is why he had never heard of him before.

Even the Strength Rankings didn't have his name.

A person like him should definitely be on the Strength Rankings.

Although Xu Jianxing was severely injured, he remained fearless. "Do you think you can kill me like this? Even if I die, I can take one of you with me to be buried. Do you believe me?"

As Xu Jianxing spoke, he aimed his sharp arrow at them.

At the same time, his soul locked onto them, as if he could shoot a fatal arrow at any moment.

Golden Thirteen and the Shadow Clan assassin's expressions changed slightly. Xu Jianxing wasn't bluffing – if he was determined to die, he might really have the ability to take one of them with him.

After all, Xu Jianxing was from the Divine City, and no one knew what kind of desperate techniques or treasures he had.

"Senior Brother Xu won't die, and they are not worthy of being buried with him!"

Lin Moyu's voice rang out clearly as he flew to Xu Jianxing's side and unleashed the Undying Law upon him.

Xu Jianxing trusted Lin Moyu and didn't dodge.

The Undying Law erupted with the force of life, rapidly healing Xu Jianxing's wounds.

Both his physical and soul injuries were healed.

Xu Jianxing's wounds visibly recovered at an astonishing speed, with flesh and blood regenerating.

His previously weakened aura also rapidly recovered.

Xu Jianxing exhaled deeply, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Senior Brother Xu has also helped me before, there's no need to be so polite."

Xu Jianxing now understood, "If I had known Junior Brother Lin had such strength earlier, I wouldn't have made such a move."

To be able to come here proved that Lin Moyu possessed astonishing strength.

Just being able to stand here required the ability to fight across realms.

However, Lin Moyu had a different view. He felt that it was precisely because of his lack of strength that Xu Jianxing was willing to protect him, which was truly admirable.

Lin Moyu naturally remembered Xu Jianxing's kindness.

Faced with Lin Moyu's sudden appearance, Golden Thirteen and the Shadow Clan member became wary.

Lin Moyu had effortlessly healed Xu Jianxing, showing that his laws possessed incredible healing abilities.

If Lin Moyu was present, it would be extremely difficult for them to kill Xu Jianxing with his strength.

Now, they had two choices.

One was to continue trying to kill Xu Jianxing, but they would have to eliminate Lin Moyu first.

However, Lin Moyu's strength was unclear. Although his laws leaned towards healing, he at least possessed the strength of a Divine Sovereign. Moreover, those skilled in healing were not easy to kill.

The second choice was to retreat now and find another opportunity in the future.

The two exchanged a glance, both showing the intention to retreat.

Lin Moyu also noticed the look in their eyes and let out a cold snort, "If you want to leave now, it's a bit late!"

With a thought, the Skeleton King appeared at his summons.

The massive Skeleton Throne appeared in the starry sky, and a chilling wind blew, rapidly lowering the temperature.

Even with the illumination of the blue star, the temperature in the surrounding area, which had already exceeded a billion degrees, dropped sharply by half, as if transitioning from summer to winter in an instant.

The Skeleton King slowly rose from the throne, enveloped in the flames of the Undying Fire, and swung its giant bone sword.

The threat of death instantly enveloped the two.

"Not good!"

"Run!"

They were instantly alarmed and turned to flee without a second thought.

At this level, their senses were already extremely sharp.

The moment the Skeleton King appeared, they knew they were in big trouble.

But it was too late.

The Skeleton King swung its sword towards the Golden Python.

Spell: God-Slaying!

The sword light flashed, and the Golden Python let out a miserable cry as its thousand-meter body was sliced in half.

The Skeleton King didn't care about its life or death and took a step forward, moving like a teleport towards the Shadow Clan member.

The Shadow Clan member hid in the void, disappearing from sight, invisible to both the naked eye and soul perception.

The Shadow Clan's concealment ability was extremely powerful, which was why their assassinations were often successful.

Even Xu Jianxing hadn't noticed his presence earlier.

But in the eyes of the Skeleton King, no matter what method he used to hide his form, the flame of his soul was so conspicuous that there was no way to conceal it.

The eyes of the undead seemed to see through all illusions, directly perceiving the essence of life.

While the Shadow Clan excelled at concealment, their direct combat strength and speed were not their strong suits.

However, the Skeleton King's speed was astonishingly fast. It inherited all the attributes of skeletons, with perfect strength and speed.

In just a few seconds, the Skeleton King had caught up to the Shadow Clan member and swung its sword, forcing him out of the darkness.

The Shadow Clan member fled in terror and activated a rune talisman.
