Chapter 523: 523 He planned for thousands of years
This Fengting Qu, until the last moment, was still harming people!
Although everyone knew the collapse of the palace was not Fengting Qu’s intentional act, they still blamed him for it, wishing nothing more than to shatter him into pieces.
Regrettably, even Mu Hanyan was helpless. Apart from grinding their teeth in anger, there was nothing they could do.
"Hehe, this is good. If you all die, I won’t have to bother with you in the future," Fengting Qu heard the loud noise behind him, looked back in slight surprise, then burst out laughing.
Mu Hanyan hadn’t misjudged him. A person like Fengting Qu could never tolerate a group of people who hated him to the bone living in this world. Even if he didn’t act today, one day he would eliminate them all.
"Fengting Qu, you are so cruel! Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go," a swordsman spat fiercely, speaking with endless hatred and despair.
"Then wait until you become a ghost to come find me, hahaha," Fengting Qu laughed wildly, flying off into the distance.
The swordsmen he had betrayed, who now had no way to survive, were furious to the point of bursting. If gazes could kill, Fengting Qu would have died hundreds or thousands of times over, but alas, gazes cannot kill, so they could only watch helplessly as he left.
However, some things always come unexpectedly.
"I have planned for thousands of years. If you take advantage of this situation, wouldn’t it be laughable?" Just then, a hoarse and eerie voice sounded.
Fengting Qu’s body seized up as if bound by an invisible rope, hanging in midair unable to move.
Most astonishingly, the Exotic Beasts that had been wildly attacking also simultaneously stopped, bowing toward the direction of the palace ruins as if they were worshipping their Beast King.
Everyone was stupefied, looking toward the ruins following the voice.
Piles of rocks trembled and fell, and slowly, a hand reached out from among the stones.
Strictly speaking, this wasn’t a hand at all, for it was only a skeleton, devoid of any flesh and blood.
Then another arm skeleton emerged, followed by the cervical vertebrae, sternum, ribs, and leg bones.
When a complete skeleton stood up from the ruins, the clicking sounds of its bones filled the air as it turned its head to look at the crowd, sending a chill down everyone’s spine.
Skeletons could speak! The scene before them was obviously beyond the knowledge of these young swordsmen.
Although they had grown up listening to myths about ghosts and tree monsters, such tales were just stories. As swordsmen who cultivated the righteous path of heaven and earth, who could truly believe in such groundless talk?
Gazing at the skeleton that was shakily standing up, everyone was horrified and dumbstruck. They had only one thought: Legends are real; ghosts and monsters truly existed in this world.
Compared to them, Mu Hanyan was much calmer. She had not only seen Mu Tianlie, who was just a residual thought, but had also fought him. Hidden within the Star Plate was Star Illusion Thousand Machine, a spirit without a body. To her, a talking skeleton was hardly surprising.
From the current situation, this was clearly a spirit that had not died with its body, more accurately a Wandering Soul. The skeleton was merely a vessel for this Wandering Soul. However, being able to exist in the world merely through a skeleton was enough to show the formidable power of this Wandering Soul in life.
