Martial Peak

Chapter 968. Taking The Lead

The sky was dim and the earth was smashed, a scene one would only expect to see at the end of the world.

The masters of the Three Clans flew over a city as their Divine Senses all spread out. Yet, they have not found a single aura down below; chilling their hearts.

This was already the tenth dead city they had encountered.

These towns were originally bustling with people and activity, but now they had become bloodstained ruins that eerily lacked any corpses.

After leaving Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Tong Xuan Realm masters had spent an entire month on the road. A few days ago, as they approached the former boundaries of Water Spirit Temple’s territory, the Three Clans’ masters discovered that the situation was much worse than they originally thought.

The Bone Race had expanded rapidly; a swath of territory ten thousand kilometres in radius with Water Spirit Temple at its centre had turned into a desolate wasteland where not even birds remained.

It was as if this area had become a dead zone where no one lived and nothing grew.

At least several hundred thousand humans had disappeared from this land!

How many Bone Race clansmen could be spawned from these hundreds of thousands of corpses, no one could tell.

A blue light flashed in front of the group of masters and Yang Kai’s figure appeared, his expression extremely solemn.

“How is the situation?” Chu Ling Xiao hurriedly asked.

Because Yang Kai possessed a Star Shuttle, he had gone ahead a few days ago to scout out the situation and had not returned until just now.

“Not good!” Yang Kai shook his head before turning his attention to the group of masters in front of him, “The Bone Race currently has at least three thousand clansmen, all of whom have at least reached the Transcendent Realm.

When this remark came out, everyone’s face paled.

When Yang Kai had first encountered newly revived Bone Race, there had only been a few dozen Saints and a hundred or so Transcendents among them, their total population less than two hundred.

But in just half a year, their number had actually swelled to more than three thousand.

Such astonishing growth was difficult for everyone present to accept.

And these three thousand Bone Race clansmen were all at least Transcendent Realm masters!

Such strength was enough to sweep clean this world.

“We only have a bit more than a thousand people on our side, less than a third their number,” Chu Ling Xiao muttered unconsciously. Even someone as seasoned and experienced as he couldn’t help showing a grim look at this moment.
