Chapter 234: 126 Divine Ghost Six Desires, Titan Troops!_2

Bai Xiao was on alert the moment he heard the sound.

Using Fierce Bird Second Transformation Wind Thunder Form, he moved quickly and agilely.

Bang!

Carrying a huge impact, a vast mud rain descended.

Bai Xiao was thrown out, landing somewhat awkwardly on one knee.

Turning his head, the figure on the city wall remained motionless.

It didn’t continue to draw the bow and shoot arrows towards him.

It seemed that as long as one didn’t get too close to the city, it wouldn’t be triggered.

"These aren’t arrows; they’re practically missiles!"

Bai Xiao coughed lightly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He felt that his internal organs must have been damaged by the shock.

Fortunately, although the arrows were immensely powerful, they were not as fast as missiles. Otherwise, Bai Xiao would definitely not have been able to react.

His clothes were now just tattered strips, with some charring on the back.

He slowly stood up and quickly moved away from that part of the city.

About five minutes later.

Bai Xiao arrived at the Imperial Graveyard, as remembered by the Totem Giant Gandala.

Here, at a glance, everything was desolate tombs.

Some grounds had gravestones standing tall; others had already collapsed and sunk.

He walked quickly among the various gravestones.

Here, compared to the distant city, it seemed safer?

Rustle rustle...

Suddenly, when Bai Xiao ventured deep enough,

a violent disturbance transmitted from beneath a large circle of graves.

Bang!

A skeleton’s hand thrust out from beneath the soil.

One after another, gravestones fell, and the soil sank.

From inside, pale-colored skeleton soldiers emerged.

They were still draped in ancient armor, the iron plates rotten and rusted, but one could still see the mysterious totem-like patterns. Frayed black cloth strips fluttered from the armor’s hem.

Swish swish swish...

The skeleton soldiers instantly attacked, rushing forward.

They moved extremely fast, not trembling like one would imagine from mere skeletons but quick as cheetahs, practically turning into blurrs of white shadows. The eerie green glow in their pupils locked onto Bai Xiao.

Clang clang clang clang...

Bai Xiao countered, his arms transforming into long spears.

Colliding with attacks coming from all directions.

Although it was just flesh palms, sparks like those from metal striking metal flew from the surface.

His palm opened like a raging whip lashing out fiercely.

It burst a skeleton shadow on his left.

With a step, he stomped out a deep pit.

The entire person knocked backward as if he were an overpowering tank.

The two sword-holding skeleton soldiers behind him were directly smacked into disarray.

Bai Xiao fought as he retreated, inwardly alarmed.

Although he still looked like he had the upper hand, the strength of these skeleton soldiers surprised him. Compared to the bird-headed people he first encountered in his nightmare, these skeleton soldiers’ individual combat abilities were at least two to three times stronger. Particularly those whose armor was not completely rusted, the suddenly glowing patterns could create instant explosive attacks.

Using the advantage of weapons, they left deep, pale marks on Bai Xiao’s body.

It almost seemed they could have sliced through the skin.

"Is Sunshine District just a beginner’s village?"

He dodged a giant machete swung at him.

Bai Xiao reappeared ten meters away.

If one were to look from above,

around him in a circle, there were nearly a hundred dense skeleton soldiers.

Some of their armor or weapons lit up faintly.

Carrying a threatening, powerful aura.

Swish!

The skeleton soldiers charged together, maintaining a battlefield order.

Like old soldiers commanded by a commander, they executed a surround attack!

A dense and intense killing intent pressed down on Bai Xiao.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, a five or six meter long black Totem Pole, like lightning, swept violently across the surroundings. The pole carried massive power.

Bang bang bang bang...

Instantly, a dozen skeleton soldiers were swept off like they were cleared from a table by a master. Some had their weapons broken, while others completely fell apart.

Streams of dark Qi flew out from their bodies.

Spinning in midair before sinking into the back of Bai Xiao’s hand.

Thud!

A huge pillar heavily planted right in front of Bai Xiao.

Splash...

The Stone Tree grew rapidly, the spiral patterns on its surface lighting up inch by inch.

Finally, it formed a massive mother tree.

From the tree, numerous Stone People, ripe and ready, fell to the ground holding Stone Knives and stone swords, rolling into formation and charging in all directions.

The Stone People were black, the skull soldiers were white.

Viewed from above...

On the ground, a swarm of white and a swarm of black ants clashed in a frenzy, the sounds of weapon clashes and shattering bodies echoing incessantly.

Yet, not a single person screamed.

Two silent forces constantly killed and perished.

Until at last, a victor was determined.

Otherwise, they would not rest until death.

In the middle of the battlefield, the Totem Giant stood tall, unmoving as it guarded the front of the Stone Tree. It lifted a giant hand, using it as a platform for Bai Xiao to stand steadily. Bai Xiao, four meters up in the air, placed one hand on the chest of the Totem Giant. The black Qi of the Skull Mark continuously entered it.

From all around, whenever a skull soldier was killed...

a strand of Fear Qi was absorbed from afar.

And the Skull Mark was just an intermediary.

It didn’t even stay for a second; it directly channeled into the Totem Giant’s Fear Core.

Causing the purple hue of the diamond gem to intensify even further.

At this moment, it had essentially become an unusual perpetual motion machine.

The Totem Giant stood steadfast, summoning Stone People to slaughter the surrounding skull soldiers. Skull soldiers killed, black Qi emerges, black Qi absorbed by the Totem Giant providing energy, again summoning more Stone People.

Bai Xiao watched this scene, quite satisfied.

He had been fretting over how to replenish the Fear Core of the Totem Giant. As luck would have it, a solution appeared.

Imperial Graveyard, edge.

The combat strength of the Stone People, actually, was not a match for the skull soldiers.

It took two or more to contend with a single skull soldier.

Clearly, the Stone People were a much weaker force.

But, the Totem Giant, consuming a strand of Fear Qi, could summon five or six Stone People. It directly employed a swarm strategy, overwhelming and annihilating the opposition.

Bai Xiao, from his high vantage, watched the battle unfold.

If he were to physically intervene, he wondered if he could achieve a bitter victory.

These organized skull soldiers, advancing and retreating in unison, constantly draining Bai Xiao’s strength, were troublesome. He, alone, would definitely find it a headache.

However, the Totem Giant easily resolved this issue.

Bai Xiao watched strand after strand of Fear Qi being infused into the purple gem.

The gem’s color grew increasingly intense, and the vortex spun faster and faster.

Until a certain moment.

It stopped absorbing Fear Qi, its core having reached its capacity limit.

It was about one hundred and fifty strands!

The core capacity of the Totem Giant was one hundred fifty strands of Fear Qi.

Bai Xiao placed his right hand on the surface of the gem, feeling a craving from the Totem Giant, a desire to devour other Fear Cores?

He slowly turned his head.

Around the Totem Giant, hundreds of black Stone People gathered.

This area’s skull soldiers had been completely slaughtered.

With no targets left, the Stone People stood aimlessly with their weapons raised.

Bai Xiao looked up toward the distance.

The commotion of this battle seemed to have attracted something deep within the Imperial Graveyard. Dust billowed in the distance, as if a giant beast was charging.

A deafening roar vibrated violently around his ears.

Hum...

His mind hazed, space trembled.

In an instant, Bai Xiao’s figure left the nightmare of fear, disappearing from sight.

The massive Totem Giant, too, transformed into a torrent of blood-red killing intent and was gone.

...

Real world, morning.

The construction workers were moving a twisted wrought iron gate.

As per the employer’s request, they replaced it with a new, identical gate.

Inside the villa, on the third floor, an open-air crescent-shaped balcony.

A blue dining table was set up here, breakfast laid out on top.

A strong young man dressed in black sat on a white plastic chair.

Feeling the breeze against his face, he breathed in the fresh air.

He lifted his head to glance at the gentle morning sunlight.

"Ding."

The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Bai Xiao. Hurry to headquarters. All core disciples must gather. In one hour, we’re heading to the Martial Arts Association in Huaisui City!"

"The Martial Arts Association, is making a move!?"
