Chapter 176
He was wearing a tattered azure robe.
"AH!"
Alice couldn’t hold it in any longer and shrieked.
She unleashed a supreme divine ability from her hands, blasting it straight at the old man.
The old man waved his sleeve, and the azure-black gas condensed into a beam of light, directly scattering Alice’s divine ability.
Then, his sagging, loose hand reached for Alice’s neck.
But suddenly!
"Celestial Mandate Soaring Roc Fist!"
With an explosive roar, a fist smashed toward the old man.
"Five Elements Breaker!"
From the other side, another divine ability blasted toward him.
The old man was forced to retract the hand reaching for Alice’s neck, swinging out two streaks of azure-black light to block the attacks.
Hiss... hiss... hiss...
He let out a terrifying, hoarse sound, retreating backward, his eyes stared at the three of them with a greedy and wicked glint.
He slowly merged back into the azure-black mist and vanished without a trace.
"What was that just now? An old man?" the military general asked, his face pale with horror.
"How could an old man appear inside this Saint’s Tomb?!" the other man was equally full of shock.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Alice’s pupils were trembling violently.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible!"
"What exactly is impossible? Spit it out!" The general frowned.
"The Book Saint! That old man is the Book Saint! He isn’t dead!" Alice’s fingernails dug into her flesh as she practically roared it out.
"What? The Book Saint?!" the general exclaimed, his imposing body trembling.
That was a Saint!
"Are you sure? How is that possible? Isn’t the Book Saint already dead? This massive tomb is the best proof!" The other person was equally shocked.
"I’m not mistaken! I saw a portrait of the Book Saint within my clan. It’s him, I can’t be wrong. It’s over... we’re all going to die here!"
Alice trembled all over, her mind filled with the terrifying, vacant gaze of the Book Saint.
The general and the other man exchanged a glance, both seeing deep fear in each other’s eyes.
Although they didn’t know why the Book Saint had retreated, judging from the brief exchange, the other party could easily brush off their moves, his strength was far above theirs.
Adam walked through the azure-black mist, his mind full of questions.
Aside from that hollow human skin, he hadn’t encountered a single thing.
This was extremely abnormal, where did everyone who swarmed into the Saint’s Tomb go?
Even if the tomb was massive, he shouldn’t have been completely alone, the people who entered numbered at least in the high dozens, if not hundreds.
But where was everyone?
And why wasn’t there even the slightest sound of a fight?
Even if there was grave danger, the several Mortal Supremes should at least have the ability to make a sound before going down.
But it was far too quiet.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out from not far ahead.
Adam was startled, but relieved that there was finally some activity, he concealed his aura and slowly walked over.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions rang out, as if someone was relentlessly bombarding something with divine abilities.
Adam quickened his pace.
Abruptly, his pupils contracted.
An old man wearing a tattered azure robe appeared in front of him like a ghost, the old man had his back to him, seemingly unaware of his presence.
Adam hurriedly held his breath, pushing the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture to its limit to mask himself.
The old man was also moving toward the source of the sound.
Not wanting to alert the snake in the grass, Adam slowly followed behind.
Soon, Adam saw a Dao platform. On it, four silhouettes were continuously unleashing divine abilities.
The old man was silently creeping up on one of them.
Adam’s heart jolted, this figure’s movements made absolutely no sound, blending in as if part of the black mist itself.
If Adam hadn’t been using the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture to conceal his aura, the other party probably wouldn’t have been careless enough to let him get this close.
He watched the old man approach the closest silhouette, it was the female Dao Child.
The old man swiftly reached out, before the Dao Child could react, she was grabbed by the neck.
Just as she tried to resist, her entire body froze stiff.
Then, his hand quickly slashed across her back, grabbing her head, he gave a violent pull.
A complete human skin was cleanly peeled off.
The movement was incredibly fast and fluid.
Before Adam even had the chance to act, it was already finished.
Something is bizarre.
Adam furrowed his brows, he could feel the old man was quite strong, but not that strong.
It shouldn’t be possible to dispatch someone of her caliber that quickly, even he couldn’t do it effortlessly.
Afterward, the old man placed the Dao Child’s human skin to the side, then grabbed his own head, as if wanting to pull his own skin off.
But suddenly, the elder protecting that Dao Child discovered him, and the group exchanged blows.
This confirmed one thing for Adam, for the old man to unleash that terrifying instant-kill power, he had to make physical contact.
Adam’s face darkened as he watched the old man slowly retreat and blend back into the mist.
Anger welled up within him, you’re the one who pulled me in here?
"Sword Opening..."
Adam was about to draw his divine sword, but suddenly remembered it had snapped, there was no helping it.
He put two fingers together and pointed forward.
"Sword Opening the Heavenly Gate!"
A heaven-shaking sword qi shot out, slashing straight toward the back of the old man’s head.
Bang!
The old man was blasted out of the mist, crashing heavily onto that Dao platform.
Alice and the other two, panicking and directionless, stared at the old man sprawled on the ground before them in utter shock.
What’s going on?
Didn’t you just leave? Why did you suddenly come back to give us such a massive bow?
The human skin on the back of the old man’s head had been peeled open by the strike, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, but strangely, the skin and the flesh seemed like two completely unrelated things, with a massive gap between them!
