Upon hearing this, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
Only one person came forward, claiming to protect Lin Xiao, and yet, not making a move?
Was this sickly youth out of his mind?
Even Lin Xiao was utterly perplexed.
If he didn’t make a move, how could he help him?
Moreover, even if he did, could a single young prodigy change anything?
Hmph, forget about not making a move, even if you did, it would be futile. If there’s nothing else, please leave, or don’t blame us for being unkind!
At this moment, an elder from the Duan family snorted coldly, his eyes glaring at Lin Xiao, barely restraining himself from acting.
Indeed, no matter what, Lin Xiao must die today. If you try to stop us, even if you’re a prodigy of the Burial Sect, we won’t hold back! An elder from the Xing family also barked coldly.
I don’t need your mercy, but don’t you all want to see how I plan to protect Lin Xiao?
With a hoarse voice, Lin Zhetian glanced at Lin Xiao and said, Lin Xiao, this is a drop of ‘Yellow Spring’. On behalf of the sect, I’m giving it to you.
With that, Lin Zhetian tossed a jade bottle towards Lin Xiao.
Yellow Spring? Not only Lin Xiao but everyone present was puzzled.
What was this Yellow Spring measured in drops? They had never heard of it, nor had anyone from the Burial Sect ever mentioned it.
And what did it mean to give Lin Xiao a drop of Yellow Spring?
Could Lin Xiao rely on this drop to break through?
Even if he could break through on the spot, could he escape in this situation?
Lin Xiao was equally confused but still took the jade bottle. Then, he heard Lin Zhetian’s transmitted message.
Instantly, Lin Xiao’s expression shook, staring at Lin Zhetian in disbelief.
Since a battle was inevitable, why not give it a try?
With a silent resolve, Lin Xiao took out a skeletal palm from his storage ring, opened the jade bottle, and let the drop of Yellow Spring fall onto the skeletal palm.
Hiss!
In an instant, the skeletal palm seemed to encounter a rare delicacy, fiercely absorbing the drop of Yellow Spring.
Immediately, the entire skeletal palm began to tremble, as if a force capable of destroying heaven and earth was about to erupt, as though the world itself couldn’t contain it.
As Lin Xiao infused spiritual energy into it, a dense corrosive aura spread out.
Indeed! Lin Xiao’s eyes lit up. Then, with a surge of spiritual energy, he controlled the skeletal palm, sending it shooting towards the enemies dozens of miles away.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Lin Xiao dared to take the initiative?
Hmph, do you think this skeletal palm can defeat us? Ridiculous!
A Half-Step Martial Emperor from the Luo family sneered disdainfully, casually waving his hand. A powerful Half-Step Martial Emperor force surged out, rushing towards the skeletal palm.
Woo~ Woo~
But at that moment, a chilling sound, like ghostly wails from the underworld, sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
A torrent of yellow energy surged forth, and a bone-chilling corrosive aura emanated from the skeletal palm, ravaging the surroundings as if the entire area was about to be corroded into nothingness.
Then, a wave of corpse energy roared, and an overwhelming force of the Yellow Spring erupted from the skeletal palm, surging in all directions, filling the air with an intense aura of death.
Hiss!
The power unleashed by the Half-Step Martial Emperor was instantly corroded to nothing. The entire void was engulfed by the relentless flood of Yellow Spring energy.
Not good, act now!
Sensing the thick scent of death, the Luo family’s Half-Step Martial Emperor’s expression changed drastically. He shouted urgently, thrusting both palms forward, unleashing a vast palm force towards the overwhelming Yellow Spring energy.
The other two Half-Step Martial Emperors also acted immediately, joined by other Martial Lords.
Hiss! Hiss!
Yet, no matter how countless blades, swords, fists, and palms roared forth, the unstoppable Yellow Spring energy, like a breached dam, corroded the power of hundreds, even thousands, of Martial Lords.
It swept forward, engulfing everything.
No!
Ah!
Ah!!!
Terrified screams and cries of agony rang out as the area spanning dozens of miles, where the three families stood, was instantly submerged by the Yellow Spring energy. Its unmatched corrosive aura filled hundreds of miles.
Even the Zi family members on the city wall, and those from the Duan, Xing, and Xiang families in the other three directions, felt as if they were suffocating.
The aura was too terrifying, as if it could corrode everyone into nothingness. Everyone was struck with horror.
The torrential Yellow Spring energy didn’t reach the city wall, but its aura and aftershocks were alarming. A group of experts on the wall acted, barely managing to block it.
At this moment, Lin Xiao’s side and the three families in the other directions were utterly shocked.
They couldn’t fathom that the skeletal palm could unleash such terrifying power.
The combined forces of so many experts couldn’t repel it; instead, they were all corroded!
As the Yellow Spring energy and yellow mist slowly dissipated, everyone saw skeletons falling from the misty void.
In total, hundreds, even thousands, of skeletal bones fell.
When the yellow mist cleared, not a single person remained in the void.
What?
Everyone was horrified, their faces filled with fear and disbelief.
The power unleashed by the skeletal palm had corroded three Half-Step Martial Emperors, around twenty Ninth-Level Martial Lords, and hundreds, even thousands, of other Martial Lords?
All of them, reduced to skeletons, not a single one left alive?
Even the Half-Step Martial Emperors were no exception?
What were that skeletal palm and the Yellow Spring that, when combined, were so terrifying?
A single strike had obliterated so many experts, equivalent to a full-powered blow from a Martial Emperor!
Terrifying, far too terrifying!
Countless gasps echoed as they finally understood what Lin Zhetian meant by not needing to act.
Bringing the Yellow Spring to activate that power was enough to kill hundreds, even thousands, of the three families’ experts. Why would he need to act?
This was simply a massacre!
Even Lin Xiao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
He knew about the skeletal palm. Before, it was white, and the more spiritual energy he infused, the stronger the corrosive power it unleashed.
At the Southeast Region Youth Summit, after being tainted and activated by the corrosive power of the Burial Sect’s genius Ka Gu Kui, it had mutated into yellow.
The power it unleashed had become pure Yellow Spring energy.
But this time, after that drop of Yellow Spring was infused, it had erupted with such terrifying power.
It had killed so many experts, including Half-Step Martial Emperors.
He was certain that if the other three families had been included, they too would have been entirely wiped out.
The skeletal palm, activated by the Yellow Spring, was terrifying beyond his imagination.
