The moon is dark and the wind is strong, with black clouds covering the sky. There is no moon tonight, nor are there any stars, the entire sky is pitch black.
Silent and soundless, the corpse had not yet fallen, transformed into a piece of human skin, gently falling to the ground, without making a single sound.
The human skin was thrown into the bushes, like a ghost, continuing to approach the camp.
The outlying pickets fell one by one without the camp being aware of it, the only sound being the crackling of the wood as it was consumed by the fierce flames.
"Three!"
"Five!"
Nine!
Half a time, the black shadow annihilated nine patrolling disciples and cleared the surroundings.
At this time!
A disciple walked out of the tent and stood up to relieve himself. His sleepy eyes looked around in all directions.
"Tian Hua, Tian Dong, where have you two rolled off to?"
The sound was loud and echoed throughout the camp, startling the sleeping crowd. Two elderly men who were following walked out of their tent, scanning around with furrowed brows.
Shouted for half a day, no one answered, things are too strange.
"Elder ones, where have they gone? Could it be that some ferocious beast has invaded this place and eaten them?"
The man hastily pulled up his pants and ran back quickly. All around was pitch black, and the trees made a rustling sound in the wind, as if ghosts were swaying, making peoples hair stand on end.
"No breath of monsters has passed."
The old man of the Tian family spoke up, "The demon beast is quite large in size. If it passes through this place, it will definitely make some noise."
"Theres a bloody aura!"
The old men of the Wan family quickly gathered together, and a faint smell of blood wafted through the air, blown by the wind right towards them.
"Someone is launching a sneak attack!"
A loud shout, everyone didnt have time to put on their clothes, drew out their weapons and formed a circle. The surroundings were still quiet, the killer had left.
Dozens of people rushed around quickly, but they rushed to nothing, not even a ghostly shadow. The nine dead disciples seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no bones behind.
Killed by someone, there must be signs of fighting. Everyones hair stands on end as they survey the scene, reluctantly returning to camp.
"Elder, were they devoured by evil spirits?"
Rumors of ghosts and monsters appearing, eating people without spitting out bones, are just like the scene in front of us.
When they heard the two words "ghost" and "demon", those ordinary disciples shuddered, a chill ran down their spines, icy cold air seeped into their bodies through their pores, and their skin broke out in goosebumps, trembling involuntarily.
"Dont spout nonsense, there must be an expert nearby."
The elder Tian still remained calm and immediately stopped it. Once rumors spread, peoples hearts will be scattered.
The old man spoke and everyones tense emotions relaxed a lot. They put on their clothes, no longer daring to sleep, planning to stay up until dawn.
"If any superior being passes by this place, if there is any offense, please let the senior appear, and we will apologize to the senior in person."
The elderly from various families bowed and clasped their fists in all directions. Was it because they had offended some powerful masters territory that they encountered this situation? They would show respect first, then take action.
"Apologize?"
Two icy words floated in from all directions, impossible to pinpoint their exact origin. Everyones expression turned solemn.
"Sneaking around, if you have the ability, come out and fight a battle. Hiding in the dark is no hero."
Tian Jias elder let out a cold snort, certain that someone was hiding around them. He calmed down instead and used the provocative method to lure the hidden person into revealing themselves.
"Your intimidation tactics are useless against me. From now on, every time a tea cup is emptied, I will kill one of you, until none of you are left."
As soon as the voice fell, it sank into deathly silence. No matter how they shouted, there was no response, only a gust of cold wind blowing by, and the bonfire on the ground flickered, lacking firewood.
"Elder, there is no more firewood."
Lose the bonfire, fall into darkness, become a living target, and be slaughtered at will.
"You two, go over there and find some firewood to bring back."
Elder Tian instructed a sentence, and two Tian family disciples walked out. They were very unwilling to leave the campsite, but still stepped out, not daring to go too far.
Twenty or so people gathered together, holding weapons and looking around in all directions.
"Tian Lie, who do you think will be against us?"
The elderly of the Wan family walked over, frowning and asked, they had been in the mountains for more than a day and hadnt encountered any masters, let alone someone declaring war on their two families in Canglang City, things were too strange.
"Im also baffled, weve been very careful on this road and havent offended anyone."
Tian Lies face was filled with worry, six of Tian familys disciples had died, the loss was severe, and it pained him greatly.
"Ah..."
The two men were talking when two miserable cries came from afar, and the two Tianjia disciples who went out to collect firewood suddenly disappeared from everyones sight.
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
Tian Lie and Wan Jia Lao disappeared on the spot, rushing to the scene of the incident. There was still no sign of a fight, and the body had also vanished. The two looked at each other, seeing a hint of horror in each others eyes.
Things have gone beyond their cognition, who would have thought of such a skill, killing people without leaving any trace.
Killing is simple!
After killing, even the corpse disappeared, which is against common sense. The two of them lived for half a century and had never experienced such a strange thing.
"Hiding ones head and showing ones tail, if you have the ability, come out and lets fight face-to-face."
Tian Lies eyes were about to split, the two people who lost are Tian familys absolute elites, they have a great opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy for cultivation. This time they were brought out, the main purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to hone themselves and help them grow.
"Dont worry, well have a chance to meet again."
The sound drifted away, elusive and intangible, leaving no clue as to where it came from. The two returned to the campsite, the bonfire growing smaller and smaller until it was almost invisible.
When the last flame of the bonfire disappeared, and everything around was completely shrouded in darkness, the rustling sounds from the leaves and branches were like countless palms rubbing against each other, everyones heart was stuck in their throat, fearing that the next one to die would be them.
"Form a tight circle, hand in hand, and I dont believe he can break into our formation and kill anyone."
With a loud shout of "Charge!", the remaining twenty people held hands, forming a circle. As soon as they appeared, they were immediately attacked by the entire crowd. This was the most stupid and also the most effective way.
Hand in hand with each other, everyones courage grew, and they just had to hold on until dawn, when they could see clearly who was hiding in the dark to ambush them.
Time is passing minute by minute and second by second, there are still a few minutes left for a cup of tea.
The taste of that waiting, only they themselves are the clearest, no one knows when the god of death will suddenly descend, waiting for death is the most frightening.
Liu Wuxie was about to make them live in fear all the time, and easily kill them off, its too cheap for them.
A gentle breeze blew by, the dark figure merged perfectly with the black night, treading on the seven stars, walking close to the ground, and yet his body was gliding through the air.
"Hah!"
A sudden slash, a cold gleam flashed by, and in less than one-tenth of a breath, the body vanished from its original position.
"Wan Qian, why did you let go of my hand?"
One of Wans disciples suddenly shouted and grabbed his right hand, only to find that the palm had disappeared, thinking that Wan had suddenly let go, and then asked.
No one answered him, and inexplicably, there was one less person in between. The Wan Quan he spoke of had long since turned into a human skin.
At this moment, the crowd was in chaos. Hand in hand, they could still kill each other with ease, exceeding human limits, only evil spirits could achieve that.
"Its impossible, even if it were a spiritual realm, it couldnt be done."
Tian Lies face was twisted in a frenzy, and he let out an angry roar, but no one answered him. Everyones heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and a chill spread from their toes to their entire body.
Time flies like an arrow; the moment is gone in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!
Another mysterious death occurred.
From terror, to numbness, unable to feel fear, waiting for the next death to arrive, who will be the next to disappear.
"Devil, are you a human or a devil? Get out here! Im not afraid of you."
One of the Wan family disciples suddenly collapsed mentally, rushed out, holding a long sword, chopping wildly, and fell into a state of frenzy, losing his rationality.
"Come back quickly, Wan Bai!"
The old man of the Wan family shouted loudly for him to come back quickly, as dawn was approaching and they would definitely be able to hold on.
What a pity!
Wan Bai was about to speak when a stream of blood light shot out, and Wan Bais body, in front of everyone, slowly disappeared, turning into a piece of human skin. The wind blew, and it fell far away. Only then did they see clearly why the dead person had no bones left.
"Devil, he must be a devil who crawled out of hell, Im going home!"
Another Wan Jia disciple ran out and frantically rushed into the forest, wanting to escape the Luori Mountains.
The most dangerous place at night is the Luoshan Mountains, where monsters roam everywhere. This area near the mountain wall has no monsters coming, and warriors who come to practice often set up camp here.
"Come back soon!"
The words had barely fallen when the Wan family disciples who had run out fell to the ground, shriveled up. They saw a black shadow flash before their eyes.
Tian Lie flew up quickly to chase, but still pounced on an empty space. The black shadow mysteriously disappeared, with a speed that was extremely strange and unusual. Even the First Heaven Realm didnt have the qualifications to get close.
Time slipped away quietly, and there was still more than an hour before dawn. The team of thirty or so people had been reduced to ten, and every face was filled with fear.
"Elder, I cant hold on anymore."
One of the Wan family disciples suddenly drew out his sword and placed it on his neck, with a long sword sweeping across, he kissed his neck and killed himself, blood spurted high into the air. He would rather choose to die than bear the pain of being hunted down.
This is a psychological tactic, Liu Wuxies portrayal is vivid and convincing, and there are several others who are on the verge of madness, ready to go crazy at any moment.
Watching family disciples die in front of him, Wans clan elder let out a furious roar.
"No matter who you are, even if you killed all of my familys descendants, I will chop your body into ten thousand pieces."
Ten thousand elders took a step forward with one arrow, the First Heavens Spirit swept across the four fields, trees fell down one by one, and the earth cracked together, two people back to back.
"You are allowed to kill me but I am not allowed to kill you, your two families are indeed overbearing."
This time they heard clearly, the voice was not far from them, on a tree trunk ten meters away, standing a dark shadow, with a faint light shining in his hand, judging the specific location with the help of the knife.
"Who are you exactly? Your voice sounds familiar, dont we know each other?"
Tian Lie judged from the sound, this voice he must have heard before, but for a moment, he couldnt think of it.
A cold laugh echoed from afar: "Of course we know you, youve been chasing me for so long with all your might, and yet the one who killed you doesnt even know, how ridiculous."
A dark shadow suddenly swept down and rushed towards the two of them.
