The God of Sky and Earth - Chapter 572: Danger Strikes Continuously!

“I don’t know, the presence feels very mysterious.”

Su Yi shook his head, not knowing exactly what had happened, but there was no doubt that he had just narrowly escaped a disaster.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the ground trembled inexplicably.

“Be careful…”

Su Yi and Situ Muyang, still trembling with fear, suddenly stood back to back. Their energy circulated within their bodies as they prepared themselves for what lay ahead.

“Haha…”

The ground cracked open, as two skeletal hands emitted a dark aura. The bones, eerie and white, had a peculiar touch of black. One hand grabbed Su Yi’s ankle, while the other seized Situ Muyang’s ankle. A mysterious presence enveloped them, corroding their protective energy shields.

“Oh no!”

Su Yi underwent a great transformation, and within his eyes, a dazzling light shone like lightning, piercing and bright. His clothes fluttered in the wind, his hair billowed backward. A sudden surge of power emanated from him, as if filled with the rage of thunder. With a stomp of his right foot, a vortex of energy formed beneath his sole, swirling like a raging storm.

“Boom…”

As the foot landed, the earth trembled, and the air echoed with a thunderous roar!

This was the first move of the Wrath of the Eight Wastelands, and from where Su Yi stood, concentric waves of dark earth elemental energy surged out like undulating ripples.

“Click, click…”

Where Su Yi stepped, the ground cracked, and cracks spread out like a spider’s web, resembling thin threads on the surface, extending in all directions.

The surrounding rocks and dirt crumbled into powder in an instant, while the entire area trembled rapidly due to the intense vibrations.

The two bone hands, which emerged from the ground emitting a murky black light, were also forcefully pushed back and the black light dissipated.

“Boom…”

But at this moment, atop the surrounding mountains, there were numerous fluctuations in the air, and several skeleton-like figures emerged from unknown places.

These skeletons had wild, unkempt hair and emitted a chilling aura. Sinister black light flickered in their eye sockets, as they immediately locked their gaze on Su Yi and Situ Muyang.

“Oh no, this is bad! Let’s run!”

Su Yi’s face changed dramatically, and his feet surged with energy as he quickly fled.

“What on earth is going on? I’ve never heard of such danger!”

Situ Muyang licked his lips in surprise. He had never heard of such eerie dangers in the Divine Sword Valley before. Without wasting a second, he followed closely behind Su Yi.

“Cuckoo…”

Just as Su Yi and Situ Muyang stepped on the cracked ground, a tall skeletal figure crawled out. Its eye sockets flickered with dark light as it stared at the direction in which Su Yi and Situ Muyang were leaving. It then sprinted and chased after them.

“Zoom, zoom…”

On the mountain peaks and cliffs all around, several skeletons leaped and climbed on the rocky walls like monkeys, chasing after Su Yi and Situ Muyang.

“What on earth is this? Have they turned into zombies?”

Situ Muyang dashed away without looking back, astounded by the eerie skeletons chasing after him.

“It must not be a corpse mutation…”

Su Yi was also amazed. Buried here were the powerful ancestors of the Divine Sword School throughout the ages-extraordinary individuals. How could they have undergone corpse mutation? Surely, something astonishing had occurred within these grounds.

“What should we do now?”

Situ Muyang asked Su Yi, without looking back, “What do we do now?” The skeletons behind them, thankfully, were not flying and were moving at a similar pace. However, it seemed that something strange was happening as the number of skeletons was increasing.

“Go up the mountain ahead.”

Su Yi said, “Now, it seems like there is no other choice, even if we wanted to leave, there is no way back.”

Throughout the Divine Sword Valley, not a single blade of grass grew on the mountains. Everywhere was an absolute silence.

Su Yi and Situ Muyang fled in haste, with eerie skeletons chasing them from behind. From a distance, the sight was quite unsettling.

After a long time, they gradually approached the massive mountain peak ahead.

However, inexplicably, the eerie and chilling atmosphere that filled the space grew thicker and more terrifying.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted ahead, accompanied by the muffled sound of energy surges. Several figures appeared before Su Yi and Situ Muyang.

One man and two women were currently entangled by three skeletons, each engaged in a fierce exchange of energy.

“It seems to be Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and Ouyang Ran.”

From a distance, Situ Muyang recognized the three individuals. It was indeed Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and Ouyang Ran.

Su Yi had also recognized the three individuals. He never expected to encounter them here, and they too were being attacked by the eerie skeletons.

In the midst of the battle ahead, the strength of those three puppets seemed incredibly formidable.

Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and Ouyang Ran had exerted all their efforts. Their swords gleamed like lightning, but they were still unable to overcome the unarmed skeletons. They retreated in succession, feeling disheveled and wounded all over their bodies.

“They seem to be in trouble, should we help them?”

Situ Muyang asked Su Yi, after all, Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and others have never been polite to Su Yi. When these three were in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, they once chased after Su Yi and himself. Moreover, the eerie skeletons behind them were constantly following, unable to shake them off at all.

“Zoom…”

Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, and Ouyang Shuang’s faces changed drastically at this moment. They had a solemn expression, clearly deeply shocked by the sudden turn of events.

At this moment, the three of them fought with all their might, but they found it difficult to be a match for the three skeletons. They retreated step by step, their hair disheveled, and each of them carrying injuries.

“Ding…”

The golden sword clashed, and Gong Qi’s sword struck the hand of the skeleton in front of her, creating sparks that flew. But the skeleton’s hand remained unscathed, without even a trace left behind. Instead, it tightly grabbed hold of Gong Qi’s precious sword. A strange aura filled the air, emanating from the sword, capable of corroding life energy.

Gong Qi’s face changed dramatically. Under the influence of that strange power, her life energy was affected, and her precious sword was tightly held, unable to be drawn out.

Under the influence of that aura, it even affected Gong Qi’s soul, causing her to feel dizzy.

“Ha…”

A skeleton’s claw suddenly appeared in front of Gong Qi, with a terrifying dark glow and a strange aura that made her soul tremble.

“Oh no…”

Gong Qi’s face paled, feeling the presence of impending death.

“Be careful!”

Ying Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, but at this moment, her situation wasn’t much better than Gong Qi’s, and she was completely powerless to help.

“Splash!”

In the blink of an eye, a mysterious figure in a blue robe appeared in front of Gong Qi. A terrifying surge of elemental energy erupted like a volcanic eruption. With a powerful punch that resonated like thunder, the figure clashed directly with the skeletal claw imprint.

“Boom…”

With such a clash, sand and stones flew around, and the ground trembled.

“Ding ding…”

The figure in the blue robe and Gong Qi’s figure instantly shook back, staggering several steps before stabilizing themselves.

Gong Qi finally broke free. In that fleeting moment, the eerie presence vanished, and a powerful gust of wind pushed her back.

“Hmm!”

Su Yi stomped his foot to steady his retreat, his qi and blood surging within him. A muffled groan escaped his throat, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

“It’s you…”

Gong Qi’s face paled with surprise as she looked at the sudden figure that came to her rescue. It was Su Yi! Her delicate features showed bewilderment, still shaken from the frightful ordeal she had just narrowly escaped.

The skeletal figure stood still, with a flickering aura emanating from its body. Strangely, its eyes began to glow with a shimmering light, as if in struggle. Its eye sockets locked onto Su Yi and Gong Qi, pointing a trembling finger towards the majestic mountain peak. With a hoarse and desperate voice, it said, “Up the mountain… hurry, go to the mountain!”

Ying Qianqian and Ouyang Ran were originally dealing with two puppets, but now the two puppets were also being influenced. Their eyes were glowing with a dark light, but the influence was not as strong as the puppet that had just fought Su Yi. However, they stopped attacking Ying Qianqian and Ouyang Ran.

“Run, quickly!”

Situ Muyang exclaimed loudly, without any hesitation.

“Go!”

Su Yi’s gaze grew solemn. These skeletons were too difficult to deal with. Now, there was only one option left – to go up the mountain.

Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, and Ouyang Ran didn’t dare to hesitate anymore. They immediately followed closely behind Su Yi with all their might.

The skeletons that had been chasing Su Yi and Situ Muyang relentlessly were still in close pursuit.

Just after the brief confrontation with Gong Qi and the other two, the three skeletons stood still for a moment. Their eyes were once again filled with eerie dark light, as they became a part of it.

“What on earth is going on here, do you know anything about this skeleton?”

Gong Qi, Ying Qianqian, and Situ Muyang followed closely behind Su Yi, their hearts filled with fear. They anxiously asked Su Yi and Situ Muyang, their voices trembling.

“We don’t know either, how many of them did you encounter?” Situ Muyang shook his head and asked.

“There were several of them, all very terrifying!” Ouyang Ran still shuddered with fear.

The five of them were running hastily, getting closer and closer to the enormous mountain peak. However, a group of skeletons behind them was also closing in, with the number of them reaching more than a dozen.

“Waaah!”

Suddenly, in the empty space, there appeared a chilling sound of wind that made one’s soul uneasy.

Just ahead of the five individuals, in the empty void, a dazzling light burst forth like lightning, instantly sweeping through the air with a daunting presence.

“Be careful!”

Su Yi shouted softly, a radiant aura enveloping his body, as he swiftly pressed his palm forward, creating a powerful handprint.

“Swoosh…”

As the light descended, it took the form of a radiant sword, swiftly cleaving through Su Yi’s palm imprint and shattering it into pieces.

The sword energy spread downward, filling Su Yi with a terrifying aura that caused his face to pale. Su Yi quickly activated the Hundred Transformations Step to its fullest extent, swiftly tapping his feet on the ground and evading at an unbelievable angle.

“Zoom!”

A cold light by the ear sent a shiver through Su Yi’s skin, causing his whole body to break out in goosebumps. The radiant aura surrounding him shattered, a few strands of hair were sliced off, and a shallow bloodstain appeared on his neck.

Under an overwhelming aura, Su Yi had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth as he staggered back. If it weren’t for his mastery of the Hundred Transformations Step, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Whoo!”

The howling sound of the wind pierced through as a precious sword materialized in the void, radiating a dazzling light that struck fear. Yet, it was surrounded by a mysterious black brilliance.

“This is a treasure sword at a very high level!”

Ying Qianqian, Ouyang Ran, Gong Qi, and Situ Muyang were all turning pale as this peculiar sword began to attack them.

“Whooosh!”

The sword hummed loudly, with black light rippling out. Suddenly, it burst forth with a massive wave of sword energy, swooping down from mid-air. The sword light surged forward, enveloping Ying Qianqian, Situ Muyang, Ouyang Ran, and Gong Qi in its radiant glow.

“Oh no!”

This was no ordinary sword, but all four of them knew its terror. Even someone as powerful as Su Yi had been injured with just one strike.

“Let’s work together!”

In an unexpected moment, the four of them shared an unspoken understanding and acted simultaneously.

Even Situ Muyang drew out his own treasured sword, and four beams of sword light swiftly streaked forward with full force.

“Swooosh, swooosh, swooosh…”

Four beams of sword light streaked forward, spreading and forming a vast sea of swords, colliding with each other.
