C7 Awakening

Chapter VII: Awakening

At this moment, Jing Hao was sitting on the back of a sand dune with a depressed expression on his face, his two eyes were looking around at the skeletons beside him. Only now did he understand one thing, in the Corpse Hibernation Desert, the number of corpses could only be described as "terrifying." With every step you took, you would trample on at least a few skeletons.

Since he could not escape, Jing Hao decided not to run anymore. It was just that looking at the white bones that were emitting some phosphorescence, Jing Hao felt goosebumps in his heart because he felt that the two black holes on the skeletons were staring at him, as if he had become their food.

"Whatever, just watch if you want to. I won't look at you." After Jing Hao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and dispelled the wild thoughts in his mind. He began to circulate the demonic spiritual energy in his body to heal his injuries. A faint white light lit up Jing Hao's body. In this cold and desolate desert, it was as eye-catching as a light in the night sky, it was hard to not attract attention.

As Jing Hao was recovering, the skeletons near him trembled and the sand on their bodies began to fall. However, this small change did not attract Jing Hao's attention. Both of his hands formed a strange seal in front of his chest and a bright white light appeared in his hands. Then, five bright rainbow colored lights swam out from the light, just like five living snakes wandering around Jing Hao, suddenly they entered Jing Hao's body and suddenly they stuck their heads out to continue wandering. There was even a faint hissing sound that could be heard, it was extremely strange.

As the five-colored light appeared, a wave of pure heaven and earth origin energy came out from the depths of the desert and flowed into the five strange lights. The five lights entered Jing Hao's body and quickly healed Jing Hao's internal injuries. As the heaven and earth origin energy rushed in, the demonic energy around Jing Hao became even more intense.

He hadn't thought that there would be such a rich heaven and earth origin energy in this land of death. It was truly strange. Jing Hao thought like this and took a deep breath. The five light ribbons began to desperately absorb the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy.

At the center of the wall, a faint Taiji pattern could be seen. A faint red light floated in the center of the taiji diagram, looking as if it could disappear at any time. On the five stone walls, there were five profound runes engraved. All the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy was gathered in this place by these five talismans, maintaining the Tai Chi Divine Diagram's circulation. However, all the origin energy on the talismans had strangely escaped to the desert periphery, where it was all swallowed by the five light ribbons on Jing Hao's body.

As the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth on the primal chaos diagram rapidly faded, many dried corpses that had been buried deep within the ground began to recover. Gradually, they climbed out of the sand …

Jing Hao's injuries were already recovering at an astonishing speed. The five ribbons of light were like children who had eaten their fill and became exceptionally plump. Perhaps it was because the demonic energy around Jing Hao was too strong, that it disturbed the Undead in the four directions, causing quite a few skeletons to crawl out of the sand. Some of them even had scythes, hoes, and other agricultural tools in their hands.

The five light ribbons around Jing Hao's body immediately noticed this change and immediately became restless, letting out a low roar. Perhaps it was because these five light ribbons had intimidated the skeletons, but the skeletons only hovered around Jing Hao, not moving close to him. The five beams of light produced a spiritual 'hiss' sound and then entered Jing Hao's body. It seemed like they were afraid of the surrounding skeletons and were just bluffing.

For safety's sake, Zhong Yuan and the other two withdrew their flying swords and walked in the yellow sand of the Zombie Desert. One of them swallowed his saliva and said, "The air of resentment in this place is so heavy."

Zhong Yuan said, "Humph! A thousand years ago, this was still a bustling town, but it was destroyed by a zombie. More than five thousand innocent civilians were killed. Furthermore, countless innocent lives have been lost here, sigh … " Zhong Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Zhong Yi, Zhong Gu, you mustn't have even the slightest bit of carelessness in this place. Otherwise, it will be very easy for you to lose your life."

Zhong Yi and Zhong Gu both silently nodded their heads. At this time, a shout suddenly sounded out in front of them, "It's a fox demon!" Zhong Yi frowned as he spoke. The three of them looked at each other, but didn't think much of it. They immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.

Jing Hao had an impulse to go crazy. His entire body trembled as he looked at the hundred skeletons around him. He was so scared that he almost fainted, "Big brother … …." Large... Big Sis, you guys … Fine, I, I … I didn't mean to break in. Meeting is fate … Make friends? " Jing Hao said incoherently as he felt embarrassed. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying as he reached out his hand to the surrounding skeletons.

A skeleton holding an iron hammer sized up Jing Hao. It turned its head and let out an ear-piercing bone cracking sound.

Jing Hao lowered his head to look at himself and forced a smile at the skeleton, "Big …." "Hello, big brother."

However, Jing Hao's elder brother's words were for nothing. The skeleton paused for a moment and opened its mouth, as if it was saying something. To Jing Hao, it was only a "ka ka" sound. While Jing Hao was still confused, the skeleton suddenly raised its staff and smashed down.

The skeleton suddenly attacked and Jing Hao was scared out of his wits. What a joke, if he really got hit by this fellow, then his brain would burst apart and he would only end up with a broken head.

Without thinking too much, Jing Hao quickly rolled to the side and opened a distance between himself and the skeletons. He loudly cursed, "What the f * ck!" F * cking rotten skeletons, they wanted to harm people even after death, relying on their bones to bully young master Hu! Damn it! You who will reap retribution! "Ahhh!" As he was cursing, Jing Hao suddenly let out a cry and his body flew several meters away. He dodged a bone claw wrapped in wind and once again scolded, "You don't have these broken skeletons … .You're just like those disgusting little trails in Mount Shu! then he will shamelessly bully the young! "

"You brave fox demon! He was still talking nonsense! "You're courting death!" An angry rebuke suddenly exploded out like a clap of thunder, startling Jing Hao.

At the same time, a wave of corpse aura seeped out from the cracks on the primal chaos diagram. The Soul Gathering Symbol on the five stone walls seemed to have sensed the dangerous aura and a golden light suddenly lit up, forcing the corpse aura back. The bloody mist in the center of the Taiji diagram had brightened quite a bit, but it was still suppressed by the golden light of the Essence Gathering Symbol.

"Heh …" Let me out, I'm innocent … " A hoarse and low roar came from the ground, sounding as if it came from hell itself as it rumbled towards all four directions …

Jing Hao's figure flashed and he dodged the three sharp flying swords. He looked up in surprise and couldn't help but cry out, "Damn it!" They dared to chase us here, this bunch of people from Mount Shu must be crazy! "

Zhong Yuan and the other two had the same thought, so they immediately turned around and stabbed their flying sword at Jing Hao. It was like three bright meteors and Jing Hao didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Everyone knew that Mount Shu's reputation was based on their ability to wield the sword. They were like Maoshan who had grown proficient in talisman arts. The flying swords that the Mount Shu disciples stabbed at them were many times more powerful than Mao Shan's Imperial Sword!

Jing Hao looked at the skeletons not far away and his eyes lit up. He made a plan and immediately jumped towards the skeletons, but the moment he got close to the skeletons, he lightly tapped the ground and leaped over the skeletons' heads. Three flying swords pierced into the group of skeletons like three eye-catching cannonballs. Instantly, the sword qi started to move in a chaotic manner, glowing in all directions. Many skeletons were shattered into pieces by the three powerful sword lights, with bones scattered all over the ground.

Zhong Yuan and the other two didn't pay him any heed. Instead, they leaped up with one hand holding the flying sword. One by one, they took out a talisman, "Swift!" The three of them gave a loud shout and the talisman in their hands shot towards Jing Hao. When they saw the three talismans that were like lightning piercing through the sky, Jing Hao gave a loud cry and before he could even react, they were struck in the chest by the three talismans. He gave a muffled groan and spat out a large mouthful of blood, falling heavily onto the ground. Jing Hao spat out another mouthful of blood. He really didn't think that Zhong Yuan and the other two would use the talisman to deal with him.

Seeing Jing Hao heavily injured, Zhong Yuan and the other two did not hesitate as they held sharp swords to stab at Jing Hao. Just when Jing Hao thought he would be unable to escape this calamity, he did not expect those skeletons to attack them from behind.

Zhong Yuan's sword was stabbing at Jing Hao, but he suddenly heard the evil wind behind him. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he turned around. The sharp sword in his hand drew a perfect arc in the darkness, instantly chopping off a few skeletons. Zhong Yuan's actions completely infuriated the group of skeletons. All of the skeletons crazily rushed towards Zhong Yuan, and the sickles, hoes, shovels, and talons all attacked Zhong Yuan's head at the same time.

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between Zhong Yuan and the skeletons, Jing Hao quickly sat down to heal. His hands formed a seal and not long later, five strange lights came out. A large amount of heaven and earth origin energy rushed into Jing Hao's body from the depths of the desert.

"Heh …" "I'm going out …" A deep roar came from the primal chaos diagram and it seemed that it could break through the primal chaos diagram. The surrounding five Soul Gathering Talismans were no longer able to suppress the demon.

Zhong Yuan glanced at Jing Hao who was currently recovering and couldn't help but be shocked because he felt a strong power from the five lights, "This guy …." What exactly is your identity! " Zhong Yuan clenched his teeth and muttered to himself, "Zhong Yi, Zhong Gu, you two hold these skeletons back!" After he finished speaking, the flying sword in his hand flew out and pierced through Jing Hao's body with an unstoppable force. A bloody light broke through the darkness.

"Roar!" An angry roar broke the thousand years of deathly stillness in the Dead Refuge, and at the same time covered a low moan that came from the depths of the desert.

Jing Hao's body was currently surrounded by the five ribbons of light and he had turned into a five meter long silver fox. His pair of green beast eyes had a strange charm to them.

"Roar …" Silver Fox let out a low growl. The five ribbons of light on his body shot towards Zhong Yuan and the others like five bolts of lightning. Zhong Yuan and the others turned pale with fright.

"What demon is this!?" "What a strong power!" He looked at the Silver Fox that had suddenly appeared. Zhong Yi shouted loudly.

"These are the five elements …" Five Elements Profound Fox! " Zhong Yuan's face was filled with disbelief.

Zhong Gu looked at Silver Fox and said, "Didn't the Five Elements Profound Fox disappear ten thousand years ago? Why would it still appear?! "

"God knows!" Zhong Yuan shouted loudly as he flew up into the air to dodge the Silver Fox that was pouncing towards him.

"Shua!" Zhong Yuan and the other two slid ten meters back on the sand. They tried their best to stop their bodies as they raised their heads to look at Jing Hao, who had returned to his original form.

Silver Fox was currently standing on top of a sand dune with his head held high and his chest puffed out. A pair of dark green eyes were overflowing with a fierce light. Five dazzling ribbons of light danced in the air, giving off an aura of a king.

Just at that moment, a loud howl rang out from the depths of the desert, causing the people there to feel pain in their eardrums. Silver Fox was also frightened by the roar and looked into the depths of the desert with his ears perked up.

Zhong Yuan and the others were no longer in the mood to look at the Five Elements Profound Fox. They all turned their heads to look into the depths of the desert, their faces turning pale in an instant.

The mountain thick red lightning tore open the horizon, and roiling black clouds surged out, gales flew in all directions, and the sand was swept up into the sky. Many dried corpses were abandoned, and in the air, they were either killed by lightning or crushed into pieces by the violent air currents, and as the stench fell down like rain, it was as if doomsday had arrived. In the distance, the giant blood-red shadow that descended, was also the one that had been floating behind Zero for a thousand years. Blood Demon.

"Roar!" "Oh, five elements, no one can completely subdue me!" Another roar came from the depths of the desert.

Zhong Yi was so frightened that his face became devoid of color, and he shouted, "Senior Brother! "Let's go!"

However, only until now did they discover that their bodies could not move at all. They couldn't help but shriek in fear, but that scream was quickly engulfed by the gale.

In the depths of the desert, the five sides of a stone wall were on the verge of collapse in a violent wind. Suddenly, with a thunderclap, five rays of red lightning shot down from the sky, smashing the five sides of the stone wall into pieces, and stone chips filled the air. At this moment, several cracks had already appeared on the Tai Chi Diagram, and the roiling black qi was coming out from these cracks; the blood fog in the center had already disappeared.

"Roar!" With another soul-stirring growl, a withered claw suddenly broke out from the center of the Taiji diagram …
