Chapter 1050: Chapter 715: Skin and Bone Array
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the wind blew, the skin on everyone moved, creaking and cracking, stretching and distorting the skin on many faces, revealing eerie expressions.
They looked like they were crying, or coldly smiling, sadness, resentment, excitement, chilling... all kinds of expressions, making viewers extremely uneasy!
The Diviner gasped in shock.
Unconsciously, they had been surrounded by these skin-wrapped skeletons!
Especially as tens of thousands of them were staring at them, seemingly contemplating how to deal with them, adding to the eeriness.
The Diviner remembered something, and plates of turtle shells appeared in his hand. Spiritual Power instantly covered the turtle shells, and complex and obscure ancient text light patterns flowed out, then dispersed, falling on each person.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
These ancient texts had no lethality and penetrated into everyone’s body without any obstruction, but after touching them, there was no response as if stone had sunk into the sea.
"What are you doing?" Xifeng shouted.
The Diviner extended his right hand, his thumb quickly tapping on his fingers as if deducing something, and then his complexion changed dramatically, saying, "Not good, these eerie skin-wrapped skeletons are very dangerous!"
"Isn’t that obvious!" Xifeng coldly said.
Coming to the Rushou ruins and seeing so many people who had entered before had their skin stripped off, it was obviously a dangerous situation. The Diviner’s senseless remark made Xifeng even more sullen.
"No, I mean these skin-wrapped skeletons might..."
Before the Diviner could finish his sentence, the red-clad woman behind suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder!
He reacted quickly, his shoulder instantly covered with ancient turtle shells, blocking the red-clad woman’s hand. The Diviner cultivated in the Divination Dao, and his methods all originated from the turtle shell technique.
However, the red-clad woman’s delicate fingers exerted tremendous force, with just a crack, shattering the Diviner’s turtle shell defense!
The Diviner’s expression changed slightly!
Even if his strength was low, he still had late immortality, and his reaction wouldn’t be slow. But for some reason, this seemingly spiritual power-less red-clad woman left him with no countermeasure!
"You idiot, why did you provoke it!" Xifeng scolded!
"I didn’t provoke the skin-wrapped skeletons!" The Diviner hurriedly replied.
But there was no time for arguments, as all the surrounding skin-wrapped skeletons suddenly moved, reaching out to grab them.
Xiang Beifei reacted in time, kicking away the red-clad woman’s hand, pulling the Diviner to retreat, simultaneously avoiding another skin-wrapped skeleton.
The Ronin Sword light instantly sliced down, landing on that skin-wrapped skeleton.
Due to the Edge Corner Airspace’s Common Valley situation, he couldn’t casually use the Wufeng Broken Sword, only the Ronin Sword.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing!
Xiang Beifei’s Ronin Sword struck the skin-wrapped skeleton, feeling a massive recoil from it, so strong that his hand holding the sword tingled, and the Ronin Sword shattered.
Had he not utilized "reversal" to redirect this force, it might not only have shattered his Ronin Sword but possibly his arm or even his soul!
Yet that frail human skin showed no sign of being sliced apart, nor even left a mark, as if refined copper skin or iron bones.
These skin-wrapped skeletons’ hardness was beyond his imagination.
Buzz!
On the other side came another powerful sword light, this one shimmering with golden cold light, its power far surpassing Xiang Beifei’s Sword Qi!
It was Xifeng’s sword light!
Xifeng was a very powerful Sword Cultivator, known for his fierce attacks, one strike enough to shatter ten thousand techniques!
Swoosh!
With a thought, the mighty sword light was already crashing down, its explosive aura constantly surging out, carrying unparalleled might, enough to annihilate any late immortality master, howling as it sliced toward the red-clad woman’s forehead!
Clang!
However, the terrifying Inquiry Dao Realm sword light, smashing against the red-clad woman’s forehead, didn’t even cut her hair, let alone her skin, merely sending the skin-wrapped skeletons a meter or two backward.
Even at Inquiry Dao Realm, he couldn’t handle the skin-wrapped skeletons!
"Damn it!"
Xifeng’s face looked extremely grim, realizing that his effectiveness against the skin-wrapped skeletons wasn’t much better than Xiang Beifei’s, who was at late immortality!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More and more skin-wrapped skeletons were crowding in, densely surrounding them, blocking all their escape routes.
This time, a furious bearded man locked eyes on Xiang Beifei and the Diviner, pouncing at them, his speed incredibly fast, leaving Xiang Beifei little room to retreat.
The Diviner couldn’t be relied upon to resist, as his abilities outside divination were quite limited, relying solely on Xiang Beifei.
But Xiang Beifei also had no means to repel these skin-wrapped skeletons, especially with Xifeng showing no intention of helping; he had to rely on himself to figure out a way!
Calmly observing the skin-wrapped skeletons, Xiang Beifei carefully sensed their aura, quickly channeling his Yin and Yang source energy, instantly disguising both his and the Diviner’s aura as that of the skin-wrapped skeletons!
Swoosh!
The ferocious bearded man suddenly halted midair, his claw-like hand just an inch from Xiang Beifei’s throat.
