Chapter 55

Qin Feng's gaze also became focused.

At the same moment, the large bells in the four corners of the hall suddenly began to ring eerily, the clanging sounds incessant.

Everyone looked over, and no one was striking the large bells, yet the massive wooden mallets were swinging in the air on their own, repeatedly striking the bells.

It was very eerie, making people feel uneasy.

The sound waves spread out, and the scattered skeletons and skulls on the ground, disturbed by the sound waves, slowly began to move.

The bones moved in a very regular pattern, all converging towards a central point.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, numerous broken bones slowly piled up to form a towering skeleton monk, several zhang tall, draped in a large flaming robe, resembling a giant skeletal monster, holding a huge bone saber, with red ghostly flames flickering in its large skull eyes.

"Damn, what kind of monster is this!"

Qin Hu seemed to realize he had caused trouble, his face showing embarrassment, but his mouth didn't stop, still cursing.

Everyone's faces were not looking good. The monster in front of them, from its aura, was at least at the Sixth Rank of the Human Boundary, and its aura was still rising.

Qin Feng sneered, his gaze sweeping over the altar where the skulls had been piled. On the large altar, a black hole was revealed.

Not only did Qin Feng see it, but many others present also saw it.

Zhan Bai, the leader of this temporary team, had been secretly casting spells since the skeleton monk began to form, closely watching the opponent. The moment the massive figure was about to fully form, Zhan Bai moved.

"Tu Zheng, Qin Hu, follow my command, everyone attack together!"

With Zhan Bai's order, the spell in his hand changed abruptly. The flying sword behind him, Zhan Yun, instantly unsheathed, a streak of light cutting through the sky, circling in the air, transforming into a silver dragon, and charging at the skeleton monk's chest with a roar.

"Top-grade mystic weapon!"

Everyone was startled, then their spirits were lifted, because only a top-grade mystic weapon could possess the power of transformation.

Tu Zheng also attacked at the same time as Zhan Bai.

Compared to Zhan Bai, his attack was not as grand.

Perhaps over the years, he and Zhan Bai had developed considerable默契 (coordination). The moment Zhan Bai unsheathed his sword, Tu Zheng suddenly pounded the ground with both arms. His hands, upon touching the ground, turned into two large clumps of mud, adhering to the ground. The ground instantly turned into a large mud pit, rapidly spreading to the skeleton monk's feet, slowly sinking its lower body into the muddy pit.

Qin Hu, seemingly wanting to make up for his earlier mistake, let out a high-pitched dragon roar after Zhan Bai's attack. At the same time, a dragon soul appeared behind him, and he didn't stop, swinging his large saber to cut at the skeleton's chest.

"Dragon soul?"

Qin Feng, standing behind, watched coldly and carefully sensed Qin Hu's bloodline soul with his divine sense. Then he smiled coldly.

It was quite a convincing act!

If Qin Feng didn't know that this Qin Hu was an imposter, he might have been deceived.

Clearly, this Qin Hu had studied the Qin family's bloodline soul, but it was just a form without substance. It could fool Zhan Bai and the others, but to deceive Qin Feng was simply laughable.

The real Qin Hu should have a yellow-grade dragon soul. If he truly relied on the yellow-grade dragon soul's enhancement, this strike would not be inferior to Zhan Bai's sword.

But at the moment, this strike was far less powerful.

And that dragon soul was likely a hard transformation by this fake Qin Hu using a special method.

Illusion is illusion, after all, it's fake.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Feng glanced at the remaining people. The only one whose expression changed was Shi Yuan. She seemed to have noticed something and was thinking.

Seeing Qin Feng looking at her, Shi Yuan smiled at him, with a deep meaning.

This little girl was starting to suspect.

So far, Qin Feng could roughly determine that this Shi Yuan was not an imposter.

The remaining three women all looked as if they were facing a great enemy. But Qin Feng knew that among these three, there was a hidden enemy.

"Boom!~"

A loud noise came. With Tu Zheng's assistance, Zhan Bai and Qin Hu's attacks all hit the skeleton monk's vital points, and in the first instant, the skeleton monk's bones were scattered again, broken bones flying everywhere. But strangely, before the broken bones hit the ground, they flew back and reassembled in front of everyone's astonished gazes.

This time, the reassembly speed was clearly faster than the last time.

And from the aura, it was even stronger!

"Stop attacking, it's absorbing our attack power!"

Zhan Bai frowned and said solemnly.

"Zhan Bai, what should we do, retreat or enter the cave?"

The skeleton monk continued to form, and Tu Zheng immediately used the mud pit skill to sink the skeleton monk into the mud and drive the mud to block the flying broken bones, slowing down the speed of their reassembly.

Zhan Bai frowned, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

"Decide quickly, I can't hold on for long!"

"Zhan Bai, let's go in, it's不甘心 (unwilling) to just leave!" Qin Hu suddenly advised.

Zhan Bai looked around and, seeing that no one opposed Qin Hu's suggestion, nodded and shouted,

"Go in!"

With Zhan Bai's order, he led the way, transforming into a white light and flying into the black hole on the altar.

Behind him, the surnamed Hu cultivator, Daoist Sun, Huay Ruyan, Fang Xinyi, Qin Hu, Shi Yuan, and Qin Feng did not dare to delay, entering one after another.

"Burial in mud, solidify!"

After everyone entered the black hole, Tu Zheng shouted, and the mud pit instantly solidified. The skeleton monk, half-sunk in the mud, was instantly trapped in the soil, roaring and swinging its huge bone saber, cutting deep grooves into the ground in front of it.

Tu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his figure suddenly bursting into a mass of mud, seeping into the ground. When he reappeared, he was already at the cave entrance, looking back at the skeleton monk that had emerged from the mud pit, its huge bone saber already raised, a black blade glow cutting towards Tu Zheng.

Tu Zheng shuddered in fear and quickly jumped into the cave.

The huge bone saber arrived in an instant, but just as the blade was about to strike the altar, it strangely stopped, suspended above the altar, enveloped in a red blood glow, unable to cut down for a long time. The skeleton monk, extremely unwilling, raised its head and let out a roar, and with a "bang," its bones shattered.

Numerous skulls flew out from the skeleton, slowly piling up in the dark hall like red ghostly flames. After a moment, the skull mountain reformed, tightly sealing the black hole on the altar.

The vast hall once again returned to darkness and silence...
