Although these skeletons had been dead for a long time, they still retained some of their memories from when they were alive. Their every action was puzzling.
However, Fang Chen didn't care about that at this moment because he discovered that the five skeletons were using the Sword Reverence Sect's Cultivation Technique. It was very likely that they were disciples of the Sword Reverence Sect. And among the large number of skeletons, there were skeletons using the Iron Sword Sect's Cultivation Technique.
Originally, Fang Chen hated the Iron Sword Sect. Now that he discovered the Iron Sword Sect's disciples, Fang Chen naturally wouldn't be merciful.
"Kill them for me."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice. He took out the Hidden Star Sword and fiercely displayed the wild and domineering Water and Fire Sword Technique.
At the same time, Xiahou Wu also displayed a powerful Cultivation Technique. The two of them joined forces and helped the five skeletons block the attacks of the large number of skeletons.
Perhaps because they were already dead, as skeletons, their strength wasn't even one-tenth of when they were alive. Therefore, they couldn't block the attacks of Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu.
Bang Bang Bang
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen killed all the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect. During this process, Fang Chen was surprised to discover that among the large number of skeletons, there were disciples of the Daluo Sect and Haiyun Sect. This made Fang Chen directly start a massacre.
"Sure enough, there's a problem."
Fang Chen said in a low voice as he fought.
These skeletons had been dead for so long, but they were still able to join forces to deal with the disciples of the Sword Reverence Sect. This made Fang Chen instantly recall the matter of the three two-star Sect joining forces to kill the disciples of the Sword Reverence Sect.
"Xiahou Wu, don't hold back. Kill them all." Fang Chen roared.
Not only was Fang Chen furious, even Xiahou Wu was furious. With the two of them joining forces, even if a large number of skeletons attacked together, they were still no match for them.
After half an hour, except for the five skeletons of the Sword Reverence Sect, the rest of the skeletons were all killed by Fang Chen and Xiahou Wu.
After killing these skeletons, the deathly aura in the entire sealed space became even denser.
At this moment, Xia Houwu's eyes were scarlet red. His entire body was emitting a bloodthirsty killing intent. His body was trembling, but he did his best to stabilize his emotions.
"Xiahou, are you alright?"
Fang Chen turned his head to look at Xia Houwu and asked.
"Nothing." Xia Houwu said in a heavy voice.
Fang Chen nodded. He glanced at the skeletons on the ground and walked towards the five skeletons from before.
"Can you hear me?" Fang Chen looked at the five skeletons and asked.
The five skeletons nodded one after another, but they didn't say anything, as if they couldn't speak.
"You guys are disciples of the Sword Reverence Sect?" Fang Chen asked.
The five skeletons nodded again. Fang Chen was startled. Soon after, he asked, "How did you get here?"
This sealed space was too strange. Martial artists who had been dead for such a long time were actually able to continue living in this way. He wanted to thoroughly understand this.
The five skeletons pointed at the completely dead skeletons on the ground and gestured. However, Fang Chen didn't understand.
Roar!
Just as Fang Chen was questioning the five skeletons, an incomparably terrifying roar suddenly came from the sealed space. As soon as this roar appeared, it caused the five skeletons to tremble.
Bang!
At this moment, the five skeletons actually crawled on the ground. Their skeletons were unceasingly trembling.
"What happened?" Fang Chen was extremely puzzled as he looked at the five skeletons. Xia Houwu's eyes were scarlet as he surveyed the surroundings.
"What a strong deathly aura."
Suddenly, Fang Chen cried out in alarm. Around him, the dense deathly aura swept towards the depths of the sealed space.
Huhu!
When the deathly aura was absorbed, even the deathly aura on the five skeletons was absorbed.
Kacha!
In a short moment, the five skeletons died on the ground. Fang Chen was shocked to discover that the deathly aura in the sealed space had actually disappeared.
"There must be a problem."
Fang Chen said solemnly. Then he brought Xia Houwu with him and quickly rushed towards the depths of the sealed space.
After arriving at this sealed space, Fang Chen increasingly felt that this place was extraordinary. If this was the outside world, the dead cultivators wouldn't be able to survive in this way.
"Could it be because of this deathly aura? But where did this deathly aura come from?" Fang Chen was completely puzzled.
When Fang Chen and Xia Houwu arrived at the depths of the sealed space, they suddenly stopped. Their eyes were filled with shock.
"This …"
Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil. He had been in the Ancient Sword Continent for so long, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange thing.
"How is this possible?!"
Fang Chen's pupils shrank as he involuntarily cried out.
It wasn't just Fang Chen. Even Xia Houwu had a face full of shock. How could there be such an existence in the depths of this sealed space?
At this time, in the depths of this sealed space, an old tree was quietly taking root. Of course, if it was just an old tree, Fang Chen wouldn't have been so shocked.
What shocked Fang Chen the most was that this old tree was actually taking root on a corpse. Correct, it was a corpse.
This corpse contained an extremely dense deathly aura. Fang Chen could clearly sense that if an ordinary cultivator touched this deathly aura, they would definitely die.
"This old tree is taking root on this corpse!" Fang Chen was incomparably shocked.
"This corpse was a supreme expert when it was alive." Xia Houwu was extremely puzzled. His bloodthirsty eyes stared at the old tree.
Hiss!
The old tree was taking root on the corpse, constantly absorbing the berserk deathly aura. Seeing this scene, Fang Chen was even more shocked.
He had never heard of a large tree being able to absorb deathly aura. Just what was going on?
"Are you an Immortal Tree?" Fang Chen did his best to calm his excitement as he slowly asked.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the old tree suddenly opened its mouth. "You two humans actually followed me here."
"What is this place? Why is there so much deathly aura here?" Fang Chen hastily asked.
The branches of the ancient tree swayed as it quickly absorbed the death aura from the corpse. It did not pay attention to Fang Chen. Xiahou Wu, who was at the side, took a step forward and directly said, "Let me pull him up and we will know everything."
After saying that, Xia Houwu directly appeared in front of the corpse filled with deathly aura. His hand reached out and grabbed the old tree.
ROAR!
Xiahou Wu angrily roared. Using all the power in his body, he wanted to pull out the old tree. But it was useless. Even after using all the power in his body, the old tree did not move in the slightest.
"Little fellow, your blood is a bit special. It can touch the deathly aura. But with your strength, you're unable to pull me out." The old tree sneered at Xia Houwu's actions, as if it was mocking him.
Fang Chen also noticed that when Xia Houwu had touched the old tree, his blood had released a special aura that had blocked the deathly aura's invasion.
"It seems it should be because of the Yellow Spring Sect's protector's essence blood." Fang Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xia Houwu and the old tree.
Then Xia Houwu continuously tried to pull out the old tree, but it was to no avail.
Fang Chen wanted to try, but he had only just stepped forward when he was attacked by the dense deathly aura. He was unable to resist the deathly aura and was forced to retreat.
"How can I take back the old tree?"
Fang Chen was completely puzzled. He had many questions, but he believed that as long as he could pull out the old tree, some of his questions would be answered.
"Brat, if you are willing to let me drink enough of your blood, I will be able to answer your questions," said the ancient tree as it looked at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was startled, speechless.
In just an hour, the old tree had completely absorbed the deathly aura within the corpse. Just how big of an appetite did that require?
If it absorbed his blood, wouldn't it drain him dry? Although Fang Chen's head was filled with questions, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Fang Chen, I'll try again," said Xia Houwu.
Then Xia Houwu once more unleashed his wild energy, but he was still unable to pull out the old tree. At this time, Xia Houwu finally gave up.
"Fang Chen, this old tree is too strange. I can't pull it out." Xia Houwu was covered in sweat.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the old tree. "If you come with me, I can let you suck a lot of my blood."
Fang Chen began to tempt the old tree. But the old tree didn't listen to him. It just remained silent.
Seeing that, Fang Chen felt a burst of helplessness.
But at this time, the Little Mouse appeared. It looked at the old tree and began to chirp.
"You want to try?" Fang Chen suspiciously asked.
The Little Mouse nodded. With a swoosh, it jumped from Fang Chen's shoulder onto the old tree's corpse. Then it jumped back onto the old tree.
Seeing the Little Mouse, the old tree didn't seem to care in the slightest.
Chirp.
The Little Mouse extended its little claw, and in front of Fang Chen's dumbfounded gaze, it cut its little claw. Drops of blood dripped onto the old tree.
Hiss.
When the Little Mouse's blood dripped onto the old tree, the old tree instantly trembled.
"This is!"
The old tree let out a startled cry. Looking at the Little Mouse, its voice was filled with disbelief.
After dripping a few drops of blood, the Little Mouse stopped. It jumped down from the old tree and then swaggered over to Fang Chen.
"Wait a moment!"
The old tree did its best to suppress its shock. "Where did this Little Mouse come from?"
"If you want to know, I won't tell you." Fang Chen laughed mischievously.
"Xiahou, let's go." Fang Chen said to Xiahou Wu. Then the two of them and the mouse directly left.
Seeing this scene, the old tree was a little anxious. It jumped out of the corpse and moved quickly to catch up to Fang Chen.
"Don't go. I've decided to go with you and see the outside world." The old tree solemnly said.
"Just now we spent so much effort, but you ignored us. Now you're finally willing to pay attention to us." Fang Chen looked at the old tree and faintly smiled. "Sorry, we don't want you anymore."
After saying that, Fang Chen turned and left. He naturally knew that the reason the old tree wanted to go with them was completely because of the Little Mouse's blood.
But at this time, he was intentionally keeping them in suspense.
"Wait a moment. Don't you want to know the secret of this place? I can tell you." The old tree moved and appeared in front of Fang Chen.
