C87 (1/2)

It was unknown when, but a layer of gray fog rose from the ground and covered the sky, causing the world to darken.

The evening sunlight was no longer shining into the field. The sky was dark and gloomy, as if a part of the world was pressing down on people, causing them to feel an inexhaustible pressure. Inside the thick forest, it appeared eerie and evil to the extreme.

The trees in the circular land were tall and lush, and as a result, the light became even darker, as if night had descended.

In the depths of the forest, there seemed to be a little bit of ghastly green fire, and a kind of eerie and evil energy seemed to cover the whole area.

”Be careful! ”Be on alert!” The group of guards immediately cried out in surprise. Ever since the unlucky guard was pulled into the ground by the bone claw, everyone was inexplicably shocked, every hair on his body standing up.

Uncle Zhong who was dressed in a green gown looked around with a serious expression. His eyes emitted rays of light like the stars in the night sky as a strong imposing manner appeared from his body.

The ordinary old man, at this moment, was no longer ordinary.

On the other hand, Xiao Cui and Xiao Yue, the two Maidservant s beside him, had already turned pale from the sudden turn of events, fearfully clenching the swords in their hands tightly, looking around nervously.

Dozens of Embroidered Uniform Guards, armed with weapons, formed a circle and were on high alert as they slowly retreated. The guards of Haotian Merchant Group were well-trained, so even after walking into this place, they did not panic.

However, at this moment, the surrounding ground suddenly surged like a wave. A scene that shocked everyone beyond belief appeared. A skeleton struggled out from under the shattered bones and dirt, struggling to stand up. The white skeleton was still intact, but what made everyone feel incredible was that it was actually moving, as if it had a life of its own. It spread its two skeletal arms, and pounced towards everyone.

The sharp claws of the white bones were like ten sharp bone spikes. If one was caught by them, ten blood hole s would definitely appear in their flesh and blood.

”Xiao Cui, Xiao Yue, take your men and leave first.” Uncle Zhong bellowed, at the same time, he took a step forward, and a burst of violent energy immediately penetrated into the ground beneath his feet, ”Boom!”, causing the ground to shake, and the white skeleton that was rushing towards them was immediately blown away, shattering into thousands of pieces in the air. Pieces of bone shot out in all directions.

As for the other skeletons that were breaking open the soil, the skeletons that crawled out from the ground were either shaken to pieces, or suppressed to the ground and crushed into fragments by the mud.

This Warrior from the mortal world revealed his strong side. Even though he doesn't truly grasp the profound meaning of martial arts, this Uncle Zhong has already refined all of her muscles and bones.

It was a pity that his cultivation could only come to a halt here, unable to advance any further.

Even without obtaining the inheritance, the fact that the Uncle Zhong could temper his body to such a degree with just a simple martial skill was truly strange.

After all, only those who truly touched the threshold of ”Martial Arts” could be called true experts. For example, those guards, they only knew some fighting techniques and were much stronger than the average person. However, in the eyes of a true expert, they were nothing but fancy martial arts.

With the decline of the martial way, the deeper things had long since been lost. The ”Martial Arts” that was widespread in the world could only be called ”form”, and without the ”Spirit”, no matter how refined one's external techniques were, it would only serve to toughen up one's muscles and bones.

When the Uncle Zhong took a step forward, he shattered more than ten skeletons that were crawling out from the ground. After that, he threw out a punch, and the power of his fist surged forward as cracking sounds of cracking could be heard incessantly. Several tens of skeletons which were rushing towards him were immediately sent flying by the power of his fist and disintegrated into pieces in the air.

”Roar!”
