Chapter 280 Chaos
The hall was in chaos, with countless strong men fighting in mid-air. Brilliant lines of fighting spirit cut through the space and landed among the crowd. There were broken limbs and blood everywhere."Xiao Yun, are we going to grab the skeleton now?" Seeing that there were also many people running towards the stone seat and fighting frantically, Zi Yan, who was a Warcraft, was eager to try and asked.
Throughout the hall, there were many people who, like them, wanted to reap the benefits while sitting back.
But Xiao Yun was more cautious. After setting up a layer of fighting spirit barrier, he led everyone to retreat to the gate and completely withdrew from the battle circle.
"No rush. That's the skeleton of the Fighting Saint. With their abilities, it won't be that easy..." Xiao Yun shook his head. The skeleton of the Fighting Saint was set with a trap, and he would have to demonstrate his fighting skills to everyone on the spot!
"What about those dozen puppets? Each one has Dou Zun-level combat power. Master Xiao, do you need us to help you subdue them?"
Hearing that Xiao Yun was not in a hurry for the Dou Sheng skeleton, Tang Zhen immediately looked around the stone seat, at the puppet that had fully awakened and was frantically killing people among the Dou Zongs, and said softly.
However, Xiao Yun also shook his head in denial, "These are not ordinary puppets, they still have life. According to the records in an ancient book, they should be ancient human puppets!"
"Ancient human puppet?" Everyone who heard this name for the first time was stunned and had no idea what it meant.
Xiao Yun did not hide this and explained: "The ancient human puppet uses a special method to extract the soul of a strong man from his body and then seal it in the puppet's body!
The puppets made in this way not only have a certain level of intelligence, but can even use the fighting skills they had in their lifetime, making them much more powerful than ordinary puppets!"
After listening to Xiao Yun's explanation, everyone took a deep breath. This was the first time they had heard of such a cruel production method.
"So... didn't the owner of the ruins extract the souls of more than a dozen Dou Zun masters? "
"Maybe..." Xiao Yun nodded slightly and continued, "Therefore, these puppets cannot be implanted with soul marks at all. At least, with my methods, I can't do this."
The already chaotic situation in the vast hall became even more chaotic after the addition of these puppets who only knew how to kill.
There were terrifying fighting skills everywhere, and those forces who wanted to be the jackals could no longer sit still and were dragged into the water one after another.
This also caused a large number of Dou Zun powerful men to notice this group of murderous puppets. After a joint attack, the number of puppets suddenly dropped sharply, from more than a dozen at the beginning to five or six.
"Okay, we can leave the hall now..." Xiao Yun suddenly spoke when everyone was concentrating on the battle situation in the hall.
"what?"
Hearing his strange remarks, not only the people from Burning Flame Valley, but even Medusa and the others were puzzled.
"Look there..." In response to everyone's doubts, Xiao Yun did not explain anything, but pointed with his hand.
The eyes of Medusa and others moved in the direction of his finger and soon locked onto the stone seat in the center of the hall.
At this moment in the central area, due to the decrease in the number of guardian puppets, many strong men have rushed into that area. Among them, a black-robed figure was the most forward.
But before he could enter the vicinity of the stone seat, countless fighting skills came roaring at him from behind. The black-robed figure activated a fighting spirit barrier, trying to block one or two of them, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and he was directly exploded into a blood mist all over the sky.
The blood mist was floating, and some of it fell on the skeleton of the Fighting Saint, making the originally jade-white color stained with some blood, but the next moment, the blood color disappeared, as if it was absorbed by the skeleton, which was extremely weird.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed. Faintly, they actually sensed that a breath of air was reviving from the lifeless skeleton.
"Master Xiao, this...?" Tang was shocked and confused. Even though he was the master of Fenyan Valley, it was the first time he saw the skeleton of a fallen Dou Sheng come back to life.
"It should be the remnant thoughts left by the owner of the ruins, which can be revived through the special medium of blood..." Xiao Yun explained, and continued: "For a Dou Sheng strongman, even if it is a remnant thought, the power is extremely terrifying. Let's go outside!"
"Okay!" Everyone no longer had any doubts and nodded. Fortunately, they were already at the entrance of the hall and were out of the hall in an instant.
After Xiao Yun and his group had left the hall, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint on the stone pedestal finally revived completely, and two balls of blood-red light appeared in its empty eye sockets.
However, only a few people noticed this scene, while the vast majority of people were still frantically scrambling for the fighting scrolls that were running around in the hall.
"what!"
The next moment, under the horrified gazes of some people, the Fighting Saint's skeleton slowly raised its head, and an earth-shaking roar came from the empty skeleton.
The terrifying roar directly turned into tangible sound waves, and like a storm, it swept around very quickly with the stone base as the center.
"Boom! Boom!"
The first people to be affected were naturally the group of people who had previously wanted to fight for the Fighting Saint's bones. Even though they had retreated quite a distance, the roaring sound waves still caught up with them in an instant.
Immediately, their bodies, like the black-robed figure at the beginning, exploded and turned into blood mist, filling the area.
Next, the strong men who were chasing the scroll in the hall, the sharp sound waves swept through the entire central area like lightning. The many figures in the air suddenly solidified, and the next moment they exploded into a blood mist.
The sound waves were extremely terrifying, and wherever they passed, everyone below the level of Dou Zun would explode into blood mist. Even the Dou Zun powerhouses who were close to the Dou Sheng skeleton suffered the same fate.
The sudden bloody scene calmed down everyone who had been tempted by the heavenly fighting skills. A look of horror appeared on their faces, and their fighting spirit was circulated to the extreme, trying desperately to escape from the attack range of the sound waves.
Faced with such horrific sound waves, they only hated their parents for not giving them a few more legs.
It caused an extremely bloody massacre, and the entire central area was shrouded in thick blood mist, and the sound waves finally dissipated.
Inside the hall, everyone's eyes were filled with horror, even the Dou Zun masters were no exception. The sonic attack just now had caused heavy casualties among the crowd, even eight Dou Zun masters had died!
"Is this sound wave emitted by the skeleton?"
The people who survived the calamity looked at the jade-white skeleton on the stone pedestal with fear. Although they did not know what had happened just now, only a Fighting Saint could carry out such a horrific attack.
"This sonic attack is truly terrifying! Even the Dou Zun strongmen were not immune..."
Tang Zhen also had a look of disbelief on his face. After a while, he came to his senses and quickly bowed to Xiao Yun to thank him: "Thank you Master Xiao for your reminder, otherwise my elders in Fenyan Valley would have suffered heavy casualties."
Although he could withstand this sonic attack, he was the only one who could withstand it. If Xiao Yun hadn't reminded them, everyone in Fenyan Valley would definitely scramble for the scroll, and by then, there would probably be no one left among the four elders.
"Thank you Master Xiao for saving my life! x4"
"It's just a small matter, there's no need to be so serious." Xiao Yun waved his hand, indicating that they should not take it seriously. To him, it was just something he mentioned.
"Xiaoyun, can we go in and grab the bones now?"
Seeing that almost half of the people in the hall were missing, Zi Yan asked. Hearing this, the others turned their heads to look at Xiao Yun, their eyes burning with enthusiasm, waiting for him to give orders.
Now, all the forces in the hall are either dead or injured, and because they withdrew early, the strength of their lineup is well preserved. It is a good time to snatch the heavenly fighting skills and the bones of the Fighting Saint!
"Don't worry. The revival of that remnant will not be as simple as just releasing a sonic attack." Xiao Yun shook his head and said slowly.
His words shocked everyone again. The sonic attack just now was already extremely terrifying, killing more than half of the people. If there was another one, there would probably be no one left alive in this hall except the Dou Zun!
"Kaka..."
As he was thinking this, there came suddenly from the central area shrouded in blood mist the sound of bones twisting. With this sound, the crowd in the hall, which had been a little noisy, instantly quieted down.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. They couldn't believe it, and vaguely, they saw a figure standing up in the blood mist.
But where are the living people in the blood mist? If there are any, it is the skeleton of the Dou Sheng!
"Da da..." Immediately afterwards, the sound of bones touching the ground was heard, coming from far away and getting closer. Although the sound was not loud, it felt like stepping on everyone's heart.
"You... stop playing tricks here! Who the hell are you?" Finally, someone mustered up the courage to shout at the figure in the blood mist, but the trembling in his voice could not be suppressed.
"Da da!" The figure in the blood mist did not answer, but continued to walk towards the crowd.
Among the crowd, many Dou Zun powerful warriors squinted their eyes, trying to see the true appearance of the figure through the blood mist, but to no avail.
"I'll teach you how to play tricks on me! Die now!"
After hesitating for a moment, a strong man could no longer bear it, and directly circulated all his fighting energy, launching a fighting skill into the blood mist.
Seeing this, the others followed suit and also used their fighting skills. Suddenly, colorful fighting spirits flew all over the sky, and the originally silent hall became lively again.
However, these fighting skills did not produce any effect. The blood mist suddenly shrank, and the next moment, a stream of blood-red light shot out like lightning, dodging countless fighting skills and coming in front of everyone. It did not stop until it was a hundred meters away.
Seeing the true appearance of the figure, everyone's eyes flashed with horror, and fear reached its peak at this moment.
That was the skeleton of the Fighting Saint who had been sitting cross-legged on the stone platform before, but at this moment, it was no longer jade-white in color. After absorbing a lot of blood mist, it turned into scarlet red, and two fierce rays flashed in its eye sockets.
"Those who trespass on the ruins will die!"
A hoarse sound that made one's teeth ache, like the friction of bones, came from the skeleton of the Fighting Saint.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the hall changed again. Many people's legs were trembling and their bodies moved quietly backwards.
"call out!"
The next moment, the Fighting Saint's skeleton rushed out violently, like a tiger entering a sheepfold. Every punch and palm strike carried an extremely terrifying force, landing on the flesh, directly turning it into a bloody mist.
Even a Dou Zun strongman would not dare to take on such terrifying power.
"This damn thing wants to kill everyone! Let's join forces!"
In the crowd, a one-star Dou Zun shouted loudly while looking at the back of the skeleton who was killing crazily. Then he clenched his hands, and his Dou Qi surged all over his body, trying to brew a terrifying fighting skill.
However, before he could release it, the next moment, the Fighting Saint's skeleton seemed to sense something, and its skull strangely turned 180 degrees, with its bloodshot eyes staring at the former.
Seeing this, the Dou Zun's face changed and he shouted angrily: "Go to hell! Ghost..."
"puff!"
A bloody bone palm pierced out of his chest, and the skeleton appeared in front of him at some point, killing a Dou Zun with one blow!
"Damn it! It can actually absorb the energy from the blood! Let's quickly join forces!" A black-robed Dou Zun's face changed and he shouted coldly.
Hearing his words, all the Dou Zun powerful men in the hall were shocked, and looked quickly, only to see that the Dou Zun who was originally hanging on the palm of the Dou Sheng skeleton had been sucked dry.
As the opponent's blood entered his body, the color of his body surface became darker and gradually turned black. The blood mist around him also quickly rushed into his body.
Such a weird scene made everyone's scalp tingle. They could never have imagined that the skeleton of the Fighting Saint, who had fallen for countless years, had such ability.
"If you don't want to die, fight me. Otherwise, once this damn thing absorbs all the blood, no one else in these ruins will survive!"
The black-robed Dou Zun shouted angrily again, and then took the lead in attacking, sending out a stream of Dou Qi, trying to stop it from absorbing the blood mist.
"Roar!"
Faced with this attack, the Fighting Saint Skeleton let out a roar, then threw away the corpse in his palm, and grabbed it fiercely with his dark red bone palm.
"Oh!"
The fighting spirit hit the bony palm. The seemingly thin bones were actually harder than meteorite at this moment. The blow that was enough to shatter the void could not even leave a mark on it.
The first attack failed to work, and the black-robed Dou Zun wanted to attack again, but the speed of the Dou Sheng skeleton was extremely terrifying, and it had already arrived in front of him, wanting to use the same trick again.
Fortunately, the black-robed Dou Zun was not as good as the former. He was a six-star Dou Zun! The Dou Qi in his body was so powerful that before the opponent's palm fell, a Dou Qi barrier blocked it in front of him.
"Crack!"
The Dou Qi barrier lasted for a breath before bursting apart, and the black-robed Dou Zun dodged and even waved his hand to fight back.
"Good!" After seeing this scene, many figures couldn't help but cheer. This was the first time someone survived the hands of the Fighting Saint Skeleton.
"Let's also help and share some of the pressure for him!"
Seeing that someone was able to tangle with the Fighting Saint's Skeleton, the other Fighting Lords stopped watching the show and took action one after another, either releasing barriers or unleashing fighting skills.
But more people took the opportunity to escape. The scene of the Fighting Saint Skeleton's crazy killing was too horrifying. They would be weak in the face of the latter, so what's the point of fighting? If they don't run now, when will they run?
"This group of people run quite fast..."
At the entrance of the passage, Xiao Yun and his group hid their bodies and looked at the figures that kept flashing past them. It would be fine if a Dou Zong escaped, but why did several Dou Zuns also run away?
"Xiao Yun, should we take action?" Zi Yan looked at the battle in the hall, eager to try.
"No hurry, it's not time to go out yet..."
