Upon hearing the leader say the Skull King would return with his head in an hour, and then recalling the Skull King's miserable end, Lin Tang couldn't help but laugh.
He landed directly on the statue's head. With a single, casual stomp, the statue was destroyed.
"Uh..." Lin Tang paused, then shrugged and spread his hands. "Sorry, that wasn't on purpose. You really should have used better materials for your statue, shouldn't you?"
SWISH!
Everyone whipped their heads around, staring blankly at him and the shattered statue. They couldn't believe this scene was actually happening right before their very eyes.
After several seconds, they collectively erupted in fury, hissing and gesturing wildly.
"AAAAHHH, you bastard!"
"How dare you destroy our sacred statue! You deserve to die!"
"I don't care who you are, today we'll flay you alive and pull out your tendons!"
"Wait... why does he look so familiar? He looks like..."
"Long Tianji! That's Long Tianji!"
"Heavens, how can it be him? Why is he completely unhard? Where is our Skull King?"
"Could it be that he *is* the Skull King? Did the Skull King successfully possess his body?"
"Nonsense! If he were the Skull King, why would he destroy the statue?"
"Hssss... Then there's only one explanation..."
"KILL!!!"
They all transford and attacked in unison. All sorts of sinister secret techniques shot directly toward Lin Tang.
"Hah—" Lin Tang sneered. "A bunch of worthless rabble!"
He had once fought an old Holy Envoy from the Sandalwood Association, and he had just annihilated the Skull King. As such, he was already quite familiar with their sinister techniques, especially their flaws.
Therefore, Lin Tang's counterattack was remarkably effortless. Without needing a flying sword or any other Magic Artifact, he simply unleashed a barrage of rapid-fire punches.
His movent technique, a fusion of Martial Saint No. 7's Thunder Shock Nine Transformations, was like true lightning—too fast for the naked eye to follow.
In the blink of an eye, one figure after another was blasted apart. Their so-called immortal bodies were nothing but a joke before Lin Tang's iron fists.
The remaining mbers of the Skull Holy Mountain turned pale. They quickly changed tactics, grouping together. One part of the group focused on defense for everyone, while the other launched indiscriminate attacks.
Even if he's too fast for us to see, if we attack every corner of this place, we should be able to hit him.
Unfortunately, they were dood to be disappointed. With the combined power of his late-stage Golden Core cultivation and his Martial Saint realm, their attacks—no matter how bizarre or troubleso—were like a re tickle to him. They couldn't break through his defenses at all. Thus, the battle beca completely one-sided as the slaughter continued.
"We can't go on like this! Quick, give all your blood and flesh essence! Otherwise, we'll all die!" the leader's eyes looked as if they would burst from their sockets as he bellowed wildly.
The others who were not yet dead, though pained and reluctant, complied with perfect coordination. As they roared in unison, their own flesh and blood exploded from their bodies! Only their bare white skeletons remained, writhing and wailing like phantoms. After their flesh exploded, it ford rushing torrents of red. Like coiling serpents, they twisted and wove through the air, ultimately converging into the leader's body.
"HAAA!"
The leader's body swelled rapidly, his muscles bulging high. In an instant, he transford into a figure akin to The Immortal of Colossal Spirit. He towered over ten ters tall, yet his speed was not only unhindered, but it actually increased dramatically. His reflexes and vision were heightened to match, and, unbelievably, he began to keep pace with Lin Tang.
"Found you!" the leader sneered and unleashed his ultimate technique. "Life Essence·Blood Rain and Storm!"
SPLATTER! SPLATTER!
Like a sudden downpour, a mass of highly corrosive blood droplets sprayed out, blanketing the area around Lin Tang from all directions. Without pause, the leader then swung his fist, the size of an excavator's bucket, ferociously at Lin Tang.
"Life Essence·Blood and Flesh Stripping!"
Lin Tang had been moving so fast he didn't even leave an afterimage. But enveloped by the countless blood droplets, it was like being plunged into a quagmire. His form was revealed and his movents slowed, making him unable to avoid the leader's crimson-glowing fist.
BOOM!
The defensive barrier of his vestnt robe once again failed to block the attack. Chunks of Lin Tang's flesh began to slough off, transferring over to the leader.
"HAHAHA—" the leader roared with maniacal laughter.
If Long Tianji is this powerful, his flesh must contain an imnse amount of energy! If I absorb it, my power will surge to new heights. Killing him will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken!
"Long Tianji, I should thank you for getting lucky and defeating the Skull King. It looks like he really did die at your hands, didn't he? Hmph, if the Skull King hadn't died, I'd never have had this chance to move up. Now, not only will I kill you and absorb all your power, but I'll also beco the new Skull King. From this day forward, Skull Holy Mountain will be mine to command..."
This man was triumphant in his heart, but he had no idea that his joy would be short-lived.
Before the leader could absorb his flesh, Lin Tang's Divine Sense—fused with his martial spirit—struck like a hamr and an arrow, smashing into the leader's head.
"Ah!"
The leader scread in agony as his head burst open. The sinister art could no longer be maintained, and Lin Tang's stolen flesh flowed back to his body. Lin Tang flashed forward, unleashing a killing blow targeting the leader.
Even with his head exploded, the leader miraculously wasn't dead yet. An enraged and panicked voice erged from his abdominal cavity, "Life Essence·Flesh Conversion!"
BANG!
In an instant, one of the other mbers present swapped places with him, only to be pulverized by Lin Tang's attack. anwhile, he had reappeared safely on the other side.
"Now this is interesting!" Lin Tang smirked playfully. "Let's see how you keep dodging!"
He continued his assault, pursuing relentlessly. The leader, in a state of utter panic, repeatedly used the Flesh Conversion technique, incessantly swapping places with the other mbers still present.
