Chapter 614 - 350: Demon Sect
Countless skeletons frantically crawled out of the water, revealing their upper bodies full of decayed holes, while their lower bodies were either missing parts.
The sound of countless skeletons crawling on the beach created a deafening noise, their momentum alarming, immediately attracting the attention of everyone within Celestial Secret City.
"What is that!"
"It looks like something is approaching."
With the sunlight emanating from Celestial Secret City, in just a few breaths, the guards on the city walls could see clearly what was crawling towards them.
Like a crab army invading the bones crept, making people involuntarily feel a shiver down their spine.
"No, it’s a freak!"
"Quick, report to the higher-ups!"
The city walls of Celestial Secret City also emitted sunlight, and when the skeletons touched them, the contact spots instantly dissolved. However, this did nothing to erase the purpose of these freaks crawling out of the sea, preparing to invade Celestial Secret City.
Layer upon layer of bones accumulated beneath the city, piling increasingly higher and higher.
The later bones rose high like steps, causing the advantage of Celestial Secret City’s walls to completely disappear.
"Quick! Those bones are climbing up! Clear them!"
With a command from the squad leader, all the guards on the walls began using weapons to strike at the skeletons, which were extremely fragile, almost one hit per skeleton. However, the scattered bone fragments continued to increase the height of the bone stairs, leaving Celestial Secret City in a massive crisis.
A disciple of Celestial Secret City was accidentally grabbed by one of the skeletal hands, causing his sleeve to instantly tear open, and five deep, bone-visible scars appeared on his arm.
"Aaaahhhh!"
Although the wounds didn’t seem fatal, the person inexplicably screamed loudly, and then began to emit gray gas, and shortly after, turned into a skeletal body lying in place.
Crackle! Crackle!
The skeleton’s eyes flared with two fireballs, standing up directly from where it fell, astonishingly joining the assault against Celestial Secret City.
Infection was spreading.
The power of the skeletons far exceeded the imagination of the disciples of Celestial Secret City.
Soon, the walls were overrun, but fortunately, there was still sunlight to hold off, not allowing these freaks to easily penetrate into Celestial Secret City.
Qin Yuesheng stood at the highest vantage point in Celestial Secret City watching this scene, his brows deeply furrowed.
To deploy such a massive freak force, the power behind it must not be underestimated.
Just then, from the direction of Celestial Secret City facing the East Sea, a series of ghostly howls sounded, as a multitude of Exotic Beasts emerged roaring from the forest, shaking the ground thunderously, appearing as tigers, leopards, and wolves.
They were bound with parcels, ultimately in the eyes of everyone on the city wall, charging fearlessly and crashing into the wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tremors raged repeatedly, directly creating a huge pit on the surface of Celestial Secret City’s walls.
It’s breached!
The subsequent beasts rushed into the city but encountered timely organized Celestial Secret City disciples, forming defensive lines to block the beast’s intrusion.
In less than half a stick of incense, Celestial Secret City had already become fraught with danger, warfare unceasing.
Divine Calculation Elder stood atop the central square’s column, observing the night sky, his eyes holding seven bright dots shaped identically to the Big Dipper.
"Celestial Secret City has stood for hundreds of years. Dare to trouble Celestial Secret City, then today I shall spar with you!"
Divine Calculation Elder held a flag in his left hand, a sword in his right. With a wave of his sword, a sudden commotion echoed throughout the city, gears turning incessantly, and in various parts of the city, stone slabs automatically rose and shifted, allowing wooden men to emerge.
These wooden men held shields and cleavers, intuitively joining the beast confrontation group.
Everyone knows Celestial Secret City is a force of absolute impartiality around the world, not meddling in any feuding, holding a principle of absolute fairness, only ever ranking the world’s experts.
But few know, the city is filled with intricate devices, arrays countless, and once fully activated, their power is immense, unbelievably formidable.
And now, Divine Calculation Elder, as one of the city’s managers, had begun activating the colossal arrays within the city, intending to counter the mysterious adversary hiding in the dark.
On the east, there are endless skeletons, to the west many beasts, as the walls of Celestial Secret City fell one by one, but fortunately, Divine Calculation Elder activated the arrays, various cryptic and remarkably powerful formations stopping these freaks from advancing.
But everyone knows, this is merely the beginning.
The dozen grandmasters residing in Celestial Secret City had already been standing in various secret locations within the city, observing from the shadows. They have no ties with Celestial Secret City, and if necessary could escape using Celestial Secret City’s cover, none thinking to stay and lend aid, unless their interests align with the city.
After one stick of incense, Qin Yuesheng’s eyes suddenly lit up, the hidden entity finally couldn’t resist and struck.
From the western forest, three silhouettes swiftly advanced, leaping towards Celestial Secret City.
The three were cloaked in black robes and capes, allowing them to easily hide within the darkness.
