“What on earth is this?”
“A corpse? Revived from the dead?”
“This is just too disgusting!”
The warriors of Spirit Sword Mountain were all wearing expressions of horror.
A few, overwhelmed by fear, chose to break away from the group and flee towards the city gates.
Mu Zili, Ji Ou, and Jiang Yihan did not stop them. After all, the three had some degree of trust in Ye Wushuang, but the others did not share that trust.
Jia Tiancai, Yun Yin, and Gong Yangyan, however, followed Ye Wushuang without hesitation. If they were to die, they would choose to die with him!
As the blood-red skeletal figures drew ever closer, Ji Ou could not help but shout, “Brother Ye, what on earth do you plan to do?”
Ye Wushuang replied, “Let’s get closer to the green pillar first and see what’s going on. Running towards the city gates will definitely not save us. It’s better to buy some time and assess the situation!”
As he spoke, one of the blood-red skeletal figures lunged forward.
“Kill!”
Ji Ou, wielding the Lei Huang Dong Tian Dao, swung his blade with a mighty chop.
The blood-red skeletal figure that charged forward had its flesh on its arms and legs already decayed. Half of its face was missing its skin and muscle, with an eyeball drooping down, while the other half had the skin all bunched together.
However, when Ji Ou’s blade struck, the skeletal figure parried with a sword, slashing upwards.
Clang!!!
The sword energy and the blade force collided.
The skeletal figure was knocked back, and Ji Ou was also pushed away by a powerful recoil.
“Holy crap, it’s at the Fourth Layer of Myriad Laws!”
Ji Ou exclaimed in shock. Within the month in the Heavenly and Earthly Gates, he had broken through to the Third Layer of Myriad Laws. Yet, this blood-red skeletal figure was displaying power at the Fourth Layer of Myriad Laws.
“Everyone, be careful!”
In fact, without Ji Ou’s reminder, everyone was already cautious. The two or three dozen blood-red skeletal figures that charged forward all exhibited terrifying strength.
“What are these blood-red skeletal figures?”
“With such broken and decayed bodies, how can they still unleash power at the Heavenly Gang and Myriad Laws levels?”
“Watch out!”
As he spoke, another twenty or so blood-red skeletal figures charged forward.
From a distance, other warriors from various sects who witnessed this scene were also horrified.
“What are those things?”
“They look like corpses dug up and left to rot…”
“How can they possess such formidable offensive power?”
Everyone was bewildered. This was beyond everyone’s comprehension!
“Look over there, the people from Spirit Sword Mountain haven’t run!”
Finally, someone noticed that the twenty-odd people from Spirit Sword Mountain were running towards a green pillar inside the city, instead of joining them at the city gates.
“Are those guys going to their deaths?”
Dongfang Yu, Duan Xingqing, and others, seeing Ye Wushuang, Mu Zili, and the others running towards the pillar and now being attacked by the blood-red skeletal figures, had cold expressions on their faces.
“It’s such a pity to let that guy die like this…”
“I wanted to kill him with my own hands!”
Several prodigies from the Heavenly Mechanism Hall and the Holy Dan Sect couldn’t help but express their regret.
At this moment, Li Baifeng and Li Qingyao, along with their group from the Li Clan, had joined up with Li Yanran.
“Yanran, what exactly happened?”
Li Yanran’s face was pale as she recounted, “We discovered a tall tower in the city center and were about to enter it. After going through great hardships to open the tower, something went terribly wrong, and the blood-red pillar rose into the sky.”
“Then, those blood-red skeletal figures started charging out, killing anyone they saw, without any discrimination.”
“There are many of them, with varying strengths, and some are even at the peak of the Myriad Laws level!”
Upon hearing this, the others’ faces changed.
The city center? A tower?
“Let’s not talk about that now,” Li Yanran said, looking back with a fearful expression. “Let’s get out of the city first!”
The city gates were now within reach.
On the other side, Prince Yu Hao, Shang Yunshang, and Duan Xingqing, among others, had also roughly understood what had happened from Hua Yuliu and Wanyan Chuxue. Without hesitation, they all headed towards the city gates.
Finally, they reached the base of the city gates.
Dongfang Yu snorted coldly, “I didn’t get to kill that bastard Ye Wushuang with my own hands…”
“Let’s go first!” Xiao Ge sighed beside him. “Everything that happened inside the Heavenly and Earthly Gates this time is really very strange.”
“Yeah.”
The group moved towards the city gates.
They passed through the city walls and headed outside.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a figure at the front seemed to have touched something, and blood appeared on his forehead as he was knocked back and fell to the ground.
“What happened?”
Everyone rushed forward.
Someone reached out and touched an invisible barrier.
“Move aside!”
At this moment, Shang Tianqing from the Giant Sword Sect stepped forward. He took out a jade bottle from his hand and gently tossed it. Golden powder sprinkled out from the bottle.
The next moment, the golden powder touched the invisible barrier and revealed it to everyone.
“Sealed off!”
One person stepped forward, touched the invisible barrier with both hands, and exclaimed in horror, “We… we’re trapped inside?”
However, as that person kept touching the invisible seal with both hands, he suddenly let out a scream of agony…
