Chapter 1121: Murderous Ghost Horde
It was a dark and cold valley. A strange pair of gray-white eyes suddenly appeared on the branch of a tree. Grayish-white energy circulated in them before a face took form from the mist, melding into the tree branch.
The face struggled a bit and then freed itself from the tree branch. More energy flowed out, and a person emerged.
The person was peculiar. His body was cold and stiff, as if it were made of gray wood. His face was marked with circles that resembled the rings of a tree.
His expression was stiff, with a pair of grayish-white eyes that gave off a frightening chill.
On his back was a black coffin. Cold air flowed through it, and something twisted and odd could be faintly sensed inside.
When this man appeared, he looked towards the darkest part of the valley before saying, "The teams from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College have gathered. It seems like some of them have considerable strength."
Some sounds were heard from the darkness, as if there was something within the shadows moving about. At the next moment, a few figures took form as well.
There were about seven or eight of them, each of varying heights. However, they all had a common point—there was a black coffin exuding an excruciating chill on each of their backs. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
The person in the center of the group was as skinny as a skeleton. His coffin was red, as if it was made of blood. The coffin's lid shook repeatedly, as if there was something extremely terrifying waiting to break out at any moment. His eyes were unique as well. One of them was pitch black with no whites while the other was purely red, much like a pool of blood. The sight was both creepy and unsettling.
"Two ancient colleges fighting against the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion. What a rare occasion. The Murderous Ghost Horde is simply here to join in on the fun." The hoarse voice of the man carrying the blood coffin echoed in the dark valley.
"Let them fight amongst themselves first. The Evil Spirit Dominion is not a pushover. We'll be the fishermen that benefit from their struggles. Whether it's the Evil Spirit Dominion or the talents from the two ancient colleges, they're both top-class delicacies."
A look of gluttony and desire could be seen within his eyes. He reached out and slowly caressed the coffin on his back. His lips curved up into an icy, eerie smile.
He then gently patted the cover of the coffin and whispered in a soft, doting tone.
"No hurry, no hurry. I'll definitely let my precious have its fill."
After this, he took a quick glance at the people around him and frowned. "There are too few of us. Just to be safe, we should be better prepared. Blackwood, did you send out the summoning message?"
Blackwood was the one who had crawled out of the tree branch earlier. He replied, "I've sent out the message. However, we're the only ones nearby currently. Some members of the Murderous Ghost Horde appear to have been summoned by someone."
The one with the blood coffin frowned when he heard this. "By whom? Another blood coffin?"
"No, she was named Aquamarine Python, I think."
"Aquamarine Python?"
"Who are you people? From the Heavenly Origin Ancient College?" she asked.
The forest was silent. No one answered her question, including the masked girl. Everyone just stared at her oval face with cold eyes.
"I lost my way. Do you all happen to know where my team members are?" the girl continued without showing any fear.
After her question, she stretched out her hand and fanned in front of her face. "There's a bad stench coming from you guys."
As soon as she finished talking, a figure with a black coffin mysteriously disappeared from his spot. In the next instant, dark, twisted, sharp claws pierced through the shadows beside the girl. It reached out directly for the girl's fair face in a cunning and ruthless way.
A chilly aura flowed out of him as along with strange whispers that confused one's mind.
Bang!
A huge sound exploded in the air. The void seemed to have shattered.
Everyone, including the masked girl, watched with serious looks as the first individual that had tried to strike the girl was sent flying. The trees that they crashed into along the way shattered into powder, leaving behind a deep gouge that spanned more than a thousand feet in the forest.
The sloppy girl still seemed a little confused, but her fist had been thrown out onto the right. The dazzle of light resonant energy crackled on her fist.
What a fearsome punch.
She lightly bit her straw, revealing her pearly white teeth. She then asked with a grin, "Are you looking for a fight? I'm not afraid of you."
The fellows with the black coffins were completely taken aback. They fully understood the strength of their comrade, and yet he had been sent flying by this cute little girl with just one punch.
"That's Ning Meng, the top ranked student in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's Heavenly Star Hall," the masked girl explained in a cold voice.
"Oh, you've heard of me?"
Ning Meng reached for the giant rod behind her. When the rod touched the ground, a huge pit was smashed with cracks spreading out along the edges.
She shook her head gently, and her eyes stopped on the masked girl.
"But...
"I really dislike the smell coming from your body."
