Just like before, as the Boulder Mountain Saber struck the end of the dirk, the Skeletal General shuddered violently once more.
Lu Ye was about to draw his saber to attack again when the giant sword in the Skeletal General's hand was already raised high, slashing down fiercely.
This strike was as swift as a gust of wind, and Lu Ye was very close to the Skeletal General, making evasion impossible. He could only raise his saber to block.
At the same time, a light flashed on the Boulder Mountain Saber, spirit runes forming—Moon Return!
This particular spirit rune possessed a mysterious counterforce, meant to defeat the strong with the weak. Lu Ye occasionally used it while in the Nine Provinces, but hadn't used it since entering the stellar space, mainly because the enemies he encountered were either overwhelmingly powerful or did not warrant the use of this rune.
At this moment, using it was a forced decision.
