After the Sanguine Ape Hanging Seal, Su Zimo did not stop in his tracks. Bending his legs slightly, he curled into a ball and darted forward.
When Su Zimo arrived before Pang Yue, he bounced off and raised both hands, striking Pang Yue's chin fiercely.
Bang!
Pang Yue's head reared back and his eyes were bloodshot. His teeth loosened as he staggered backwards.
Back in Cang Lang Mountain Range, Su Zimo had once used the Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering move to shatter a cultivator's chin and neck.
But now, Pang Yue had merely lost a few teeth.
Su Zimo closed in and slammed his entire body against Pang Yue's chest. With a dull grunt, the latter's burly body was sent flying.
Su Zimo did not stop there. In a flash, he arrived first and grabbed Pang Yue's ankle. Exerting strength in his arm, he exhaled and swung Pang Yue's body, slamming him heavily onto the ground!
Boom!
A human-shaped pit was formed on the ground as dust flew everywhere.
Many fiend sect cultivators were dumbfounded and their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
This was an outcome that no one had expected.
Everyone could tell that Pang Yue's strength was far superior to Su Zimo's. However, a single misstep led to multiple missteps and he lost the initiative, allowing Su Zimo to catch up to him in a single move before he was defeated!
Even though the exchange was short, both of them displayed extremely strong melee combat techniques.
"Dong!"
Suddenly, another dull thud sounded.
Everyone turned towards the sound and their pupils constricted as their expressions froze.
Not far away, an ancient stone coffin lay quietly at the bottom of the blood pool. It was faintly discernible within the swirling blood water and was placed in the middle of the whirlpool, as though it was one with the entire blood pool.
There were many mysterious patterns etched on the surface of the stone coffin. However, they were no longer clear and their glow was dim due to the scouring of the blood water.
There were even gigantic metal chains coiled around the stone coffin. They were covered in rust and it was unknown how long they had been there.
And the muffled sound from before had come from this stone coffin!
All of a sudden!
Another sound came from the blood pool.
Ka ka ka!
Cracks appeared on the chains on the sarcophagus, and in front of everyone's eyes, it shattered with a bang!
With a rumbling sound, the coffin lid was opened by a huge force.
The muffled sound in the sarcophagus became clearer.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
It was as if someone was beating a heavenly drum, dull and powerful.
Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air.
There was a figure lying in the stone coffin.
To be exact, it was a skeleton.
However, in the chest of this skeleton, there was a scarlet heart. It was beating strongly and powerfully!
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The muffled sound from before was actually this heart beating!
Many Fiend Sect cultivators were horrified and even forgot to breathe.
Su Zimo realized that something had happened in the inheritance ground. At the very least, the skeleton before him was definitely not part of the plans of the fiend sect cultivators!
Su Zimo was not in the mood to care about Pang Yue who was lying in the pit in a daze. In a flash, he arrived beside Demoness Ji and whispered, "Hurry and leave, something's wrong!"
At that moment, Demoness Ji's face was pale and a look of fear flashed through her eyes as she murmured, "I'm afraid it's already too late."
Sensing something, Su Zimo followed her gaze and looked at the blood pool once more.
In that short period of time, more than half of the blood in the blood pool had been sucked into the stone coffin!
As for the skeleton in the stone coffin, there was already a thin layer of flesh on the surface of its body. Although it was thin and almost transparent, it was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Resurrection from the dead?
Or, was this skeleton not dead at all?
Who was he?
Right then, Su Zimo suddenly realized that he could not move his feet, as though he was restrained by an invisible force.
Sweeping his gaze, Su Zimo realized that it was the same for many fiend sect cultivators – they were rooted to the spot and could not move at all.
Suddenly, the skeleton in the stone coffin sat up and the black holes in its eyes shone with a sinister scarlet light. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and uttered a series of syllables, "Since … you're … here … don't … leave!"
Because it did not have a tongue, the skeleton's words were not clear. However, everyone could make out the gist of its words.
Without any warning, the cultivators closest to the blood pool soared into the air in unison as though they were attracted by something. They flew towards the stone coffin in the blood pool with eyes filled with fear.
Those people struggled in midair with all their might, wanting to leave the stone coffin. However, they could not break free no matter what.
Despair flashed through some of their eyes as they roared and raised their weapons, stabbing towards the skeleton in the stone coffin.
Their swords snapped on the spot when they struck the skeleton!
Many fiend sect cultivators arrived around the skeleton. Opening its mouth, the skeleton sucked and the flesh of the cultivator opposite fell off instantly, turning into a pool of blood that flowed into the skeleton's mouth.
In the blink of an eye, all the fiend sect cultivators were dead without a single survivor!
All that was left was a set of white bones that fell from the sky and landed beside the stone coffin.
After absorbing the fresh blood, the flesh on the skeleton's body became even more plump. Although it was far from reaching the level of a normal person, one could already vaguely make out its outline.
Standing up from the stone coffin, the skeleton walked out and surveyed its surroundings with a scarlet light shooting out from the holes on its face.
It seemed as though it could truly see everything around it!
The skeleton made another sucking motion and the flesh on its face squirmed, as though it was enjoying it.
"Very fresh … blood. Gah … gah!"
Unknowingly, Pang Yue had crawled up from the ground and was coughing blood – it was clear that he had been thrown rather badly by Su Zimo.
Pang Yue cursed, "Bloody hell, I thought that this was a land of inheritance. To think that there would be an old fiend buried here!"
Swoosh!
The skeleton beckoned with its hand.
Another circle of cultivators flew towards it. There was no way to defend against that power. Even though it was their bodies, they could not control them!
Before long, the circle of fiend sect cultivators died once more, leaving behind a pile of bones with their flesh absorbed by the skeleton. Thud!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The beating of the heart in the skeleton's chest grew louder and stronger.
"What should we do?"
Demoness Ji's petite body trembled slightly as she asked softly.
Naturally, she knew that they could only resign themselves to fate in this situation. Be it her or Su Zimo, neither of them could resist.
However, she was afraid and wanted to talk to someone.
Su Zimo was expressionless as he glared at the skeleton coldly.
It was not as though they had no chance at all.
Indeed, the skeleton was extremely strong, so strong that it was unimaginable.
However, it had clearly been trapped in the stone coffin for a long time and had just broken free. Although it was recovering its strength, it was at its weakest right now!
As long as they could find its weakness, they might be able to fight for a chance at survival!
Right then, the skeleton beckoned with its hand once more.
A circle of cultivators, about a dozen of them, flew towards the skeleton.
Among them were Su Zimo and Demoness Ji!
