Chapter 1110: Street Full of Others

Chapter 1110: Street Full of Others

When Li Luo stepped into the passage of vines, the space around him began to twist and turn. It seemed to shatter into pieces for a moment, and he began to feel dizzy.

This sensation enveloped him for quite a while, but at the same time, it felt like only a second had passed before he heard a sudden buzzing in his ears.

The dizzying sensation began to fade and his eyes began to take in the sights before him.

There was a crowded street in front of Li Luo. People walked about and vendors were shouting from all around. It looked like a bustling and lively market. Li Luo was at a loss for a few moments. Where was he?

Hadn't he entered the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm?

Why was it like a city here?

Li Luo raised his head and saw that the sky was gray. The light in this area looked a little dim, and it was accompanied by a strange chill.

He felt uncomfortable all over, especially in his heart. Goosebumps arose all over his body and his instincts reminded him to stay vigilant repeatedly.

He came to a realization of his situation when he managed to piece the facts together.

This was indeed the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm. However, the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion's projection had descended over this location. He was standing in it right now.

In that case... just who were the people in front of him?

Li Luo looked at the realistic pedestrians and vendors in front of him. There were wide smiles on their faces, but they felt oddly cold.

"Li Luo!"

A voice wrapped in resonant power suddenly came from behind. Li Luo turned around hurriedly and saw Feng Lingyuan, Jiang Wanyu, Lu Ming, Zong Sha, and the rest.

They were standing on the same street just a short distance away.

Feng Lingyuan's face looked a little serious. "Be careful, everyone. We have landed in the middle of an Other nest."

Li Luo's mouth twitched a little. An Other nest was a spot where Others gathered. Unfortunately, they had been thrown into one right at the start.

However, they hadn't figured out the rules of this area yet. Careful observation of their surroundings was required.

He retracted his breath, and the resonant power in his body circulated quietly. His face remained calm, but he watched the passersby vigilantly. No one knew how many Others were hiding in the crowd.

The people continued to stream up and down the streets, their voices filling his ears. Everything seemed so realistic here.

The people passing by did not seem to notice that Li Luo and his group did not belong.

Lu Ming, Jing Taixu, and Sun Dasheng were frozen stiff. They did not dare to move a single muscle as they stared at their surroundings intently.

Deng Zhu, who was from the same school as Lu Ming, was also in the crowd. He could sense a dangerous aura lingering in the area, one that far exceeded what they had sensed back in the Umbra Cave.

Boing.

Just as Deng Zhu was thinking about this, a white rubber ball suddenly flew out of the crowd and landed at his feet.

"Group up," Feng Lingyuan said softly.

The group gathered, and their resonant power surged.

Odd, twisted smiles appeared on the faces of the people on the street. At the next moment, they all flew towards them directly.

The moment they pounced, their skin expanded rapidly. Just a few seconds later, they all turned into human-skin balloons.

All their veins tore open, and thick amounts of corruption was released into the air.

"They're going to self-destruct!" Jiang Wanyu shouted.

Hundreds of human-skin balloons flying towards them was a really terrifying sight.

With so many of them, the corruption that burst out would be extremely frightening.

Feng Lingyuan swiftly formed handseals with both hands. Resonant power surged up within her, and a grayish-black spirit avatar materialized behind her. The spirit avatar looked exactly like gerself, but its body was surrounded by countless grayish-black light rays that were connected to it like strings.

This was Feng Lingyuan's resonance.

Lower ninth-grade Shadow Puppet resonance.

"Duke Art, Bronze Turtle Puppet Art!"

The gray resonant power flowed out and transformed into the shadow of a giant turtle. The shadow seemed to have been forged with copper and exuded an impenetrable defensive power.

The skin balloons flew towards them and exploded one after another. The corruption swept up like a wild storm. The bronze turtle that was protecting the group let out a low cry. It flickered with green light as it resisted the erosion from the storm of corruption.

The turtle did not move a step despite the fierce attacks. Green light circulated around it, and it stood against the storm like an immovable mountain.

Looking at the bronze turtle, Li Luo could spot a unique glamor coming from it. Its presence was similar to that of his Underworld River's Black Dragon Banner.

Clearly, Feng Lingyuan had cultivated this Duke Art to the Grand Perfection Realm.

As the storm of corruption gradually died down, the crowded street in front of them changed completely. The people were gone and the street was now empty.

Snow lightly fell from the sky. However, Li Luo and the group could tell very clearly that those were not snowflakes—they were shreds of pale skin.

The flakes of skin slowly fused in the sky above. In the end, huge pieces of human skin floated in the air, with strange and twisted faces on them. The faces had gray-white pupils, and they glared at Li Luo and the group.

Corruption oozed out of every orifice.

Without a doubt, these human skins were a kind of Other.

Li Luo scanned the far ends of the town. He could faintly see a pale pillar that was hundreds of feet tall in the distance.

That location was the origin of the endless air of corruption that enveloped the whole town.

Li Luo turned around and gave Feng Lingyuan a look.
