From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 273: Skeletons In The Valley
Those sticks with flames gave out orangey smoke, and the smoke filled the surroundings immediately.
The Qing Feng Sect disciples that were nearest to the sticks were engulfed in it.
Soon after, cries could be heard from within the smoke.
"Argh! Help me!"
One of the disciples came out of the smoke, with his hands stretched out, trying to grab onto someone.
His body was bloated, with his skin and flesh slowly dripping off his body.
It was as if he was slowly melting.
"It’s poisonous," Lin Fan shouted and leaped back.
The others in his team followed suit.
When they got to a safe distance, Lin Fan said, "Use the Twirling Wind Strike to disperse the smoke."
Ho Ming, Lee Xiao, and Tai Lan nodded and proceeded to thrust their swords at the smoke.
Their twirling wind shot at the smoke, and it did little to disperse the smoke, only able to lift the curtain of smoke for a very brief moment.
"Let me find help from senior martial uncle," Hun Yen Kun said and ran back to seek help.
It didn’t take long for Zhao Qing Ying to arrive.
And he thrust with his fingers at the smoke.
A huge twirling wind, with a circumference of ten meters, shot at the smoke.
Everyone held onto whatever they could as the twirling wind went past them.
A touch onto the twirling wind and they would be sucked into it.
It worked and the smoke was dispersed by the wind.
What they saw next wasn’t a pleasant sight.
The disciples who were still alive moments earlier and muttering about rewards were now all dead.
White bones lay on the ground with a pool of skin, flesh, and blood below.
The stench made some of the disciples gag and puke.
"What are you waiting for, let’s move. We are sitting ducks if we stay put here," Zhao Qing Ying shouted, trying to get the disciples to move forward.

The disciples looked at the hellish reality in front of them and they hesitated.
But they had not much of an option as the next moment, the bones that were laying on the ground motionless, started moving.
Skeletons stood up and picked up the swords they had dropped earlier.
"What in the world?" One of the disciples exclaimed.
The next thing he knew was that the skeletons thrust their swords at him.
Twirling winds shot out of their swords and came at the disciple.
The disciple dodged the one that was coming for his head, but another twirling wind aimed at his chest hit.
Splatter.
Blood and flesh splattered on the ground as the twirling wind drilled into his chest and tore it apart.
Other disciples took action and retaliated.
Plop.
When their twirling winds and cross strikes hit the skeletons, the skeletons dismantled and dropped onto the ground.
Pieces of bones that were ripped apart miraculously pieced back together.
The disciples had raised their swords in a triumphant mood but stopped when they saw what was happening.
"They can’t be killed!" The Qing Feng Sect disciples felt a sense of hopelessness as the skeletons unleashed twirling wind strikes at them again.
Lin Fan saw what happened and he quickly looked around.
There must have been someone controlling the skeletons, he thought.
Zhao Qing Ying and Hun Yen Kun also had the idea, and they were searching for whoever was controlling the skeletons too.
After he failed to visually see the person behind the skeletons, Lin Fan activated his Resonant Echo ability.
There were the fighting sounds of the disciples and the skeletons.
Heavy breathing and thumping heartbeats could be heard from the disciples.
He focused his attention further into the mountains.
He heard footsteps and chanting.
There were five people in a cave up on the wall of the mountains.
They must have been the ones controlling the skeletons from afar.
"Over there. Senior martial brother, let’s go," Lin Fan pointed at the direction of the cave.
Hun Yen Kun nodded, and he took out the golden feather.
Lin Fan and the team stood onto the golden feather and flew over the disciples and skeletons towards the cave.
Their figures shined in a golden glow when they got into the morning sun.
When the disciples saw them flying above, they thought they had seen deities coming to their rescue.
"Go get them!" The disciples shouted and cheered.
They would be dead soon if they kept fighting with these skeletons that couldn’t be killed. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy
Zhao Qing Ying, with his huge twirling wind strike, was only able to give them temporary respite.
The skeletons just pieced back together and stood up again a few moments later.
"Elder, they are coming!" A dark lotus disciple standing in a formation array that was glowing red shouted as he saw Lin Fan and the rest flying towards the cave.
The elder who was covered in bones and had a skull mask smirked and stood at the front of the cave.
"Let them come and let me show you my powers!" He raised his skinny hands and chanted.
Wind came out of nowhere and swirled around the elder.
The Dark Lotus disciples gleamed with anticipation as they saw the elder gather his powers.
The elder shall show these idiot Qing Feng Sect disciples, they thought.
Next moment, the elder glowed in white as he pointed his hand towards Lin Fan and the rest on the golden feather.
They watched closely, trying to learn everything they could from the elder.
This was it, the turn of the tide in the battle with Qing Feng Sect.
Holding their breath, they watched as the elder’s glow shined brightly and filled the dark cave.
It was so bright that they had to close their eyes.
Boom!
They heard a loud explosion and a loud cry.
Opening their eyes, they expected to see the Qing Feng Sect disciples drop off from the golden feather, no longer coming their way.
But it was not to be.
Instead, what they saw was the elder’s chest turned into a gaping hole, and a spear had struck through it.
A burly man with scars on his face was holding onto the spear.
Lin Fan pulled out the spear and kicked at the body of the elder.
A familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
