Chapter 86 Anomaly [Part Two]

Crackling sounds!

Flames licked at the trees, making a popping sound as wood chips curled up.

In the distance, explosions and flames rose one after another from the scattered courtyards.

Those were likely caused by the ignition of gas or natural gas pipelines.

Hu Long ignored this.

He concealed himself and sped straight ahead.

The entire process proceeded without any hindrance.

It's like being enveloped in an invisible barrier; once the flames and smoke get close, they suddenly collapse, preventing them from getting even half a meter away.

This time, Hu Long didn't save anyone else after breaking in; at this rate, he didn't know when he would finish saving everyone.

His goal was clear.

They headed straight for the central courtyard, where Hu Zhenkui was located.

Let's check what exactly is going on.

He arrived at the place soon.

This is right at the epicenter of the explosion.

The entire compound has been reduced to ruins, as if someone had detonated a powerful bomb there.

However, the next second.

His steps suddenly halted, his gaze falling upon the ruins.

"This is... Qi?!"

The instant I arrived here.

Hu Long sensed a terrifying aura lingering there, causing him to tremble as if an electric current had surged through his body.

Even a tiny bit of it made his heart pound.

It was many times more powerful than the pressure he felt when he first faced the semi-transparent black ape formed from qi behind Hu Zhenkui before he broke through the skin-grinding barrier.

This is enough to prove the power of a person who exudes this kind of aura.

It's definitely not bone tempering. Could it be caused by a powerful internal organ strengthening technique or an even stronger Blood Exchange Realm secret weapon?!

They realized this.

Hu Long immediately abandoned the idea of ​​continuing forward and his figure rapidly retreated backward.

However, they had only taken two steps.

The ground began to shake, and terrifying cracks spread outwards from the ruins.

—Boom!!

Another loud bang.

Like a thunderclap.

Centered on the ruins of that courtyard, a blood-red shockwave suddenly spread out, sweeping across all directions.

Too close, Hu Long couldn't dodge in time and was caught in the aftershock, flying horizontally and crashing heavily into a collapsed ruin dozens of meters away.

However, this attack did not cause him any real damage. The only problem was that the blood-red flames were quite sinister, burning on his body without going out.

It ignited everything it touched, and as it spread, it turned into ordinary orange-red flames.

Even the clothes he was wearing were like that.

At this moment, he finally understood why the flames here burned so fiercely; it must be due to these eerie, blood-red flames.

But that's about it.

He has reached an unprecedented tenth level of skin smoothing, solidifying into a glassy lining that firmly seals himself in place.

No matter what kind of flame it is, it cannot penetrate even a fraction of the way.

The flames lasted for a moment before dissipating and going out.

Just as Hu Long was about to get up.

As if they had discovered something, they suddenly stopped moving and even held their breath.

His gaze pierced through the cracks in the ruins ahead, looking into the distance.

—Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunderous explosions and collisions resounded once more.

Hu Long's gaze narrowed slightly.

"What is that—"

All I saw was...

The center of that ruin exploded with a deafening roar.

Two orbs of light, one red and one white, were constantly colliding.

Even more bizarrely, blood-red light, resembling lightning, swirled around them.

Each collision produced a thunderous roar.

"Is this a human?!"

Just then.

A thick cloud of smoke was blown away, which made Hu Long see a little more clearly.

There were two figures.

The two figures, each enveloped in a ball of light, collided violently in mid-air.

Its true appearance is unclear.

The outlines can only be barely discerned.

Her hair was tied high in a ponytail, and the spear in her hand emitted a dragon-like aura.

Another one had long hair that reached her waist, and her entire body was as black as ink. Her hair seemed to come alive, constantly shooting out.

After yet another hard-fought battle.

The dark figure trembled, its aura becoming disordered, clearly indicating it was at a disadvantage.

Swish!

next moment.

A pair of blood-red wings suddenly burst open from his back, and with a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky.

"Trying to leave?! Stay here!"

A sharp shout exploded like thunder.

Another figure stomped on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble three times, and then transformed into a streak of light to chase after it.

Two beams of light disappeared into the clouds, one after the other.

In the ruins.

Hu Long lay motionless, as if dead, not breathing, and his heartbeat was extremely slow.

After waiting a while longer.

He only slowly climbed out when he heard the sirens of fire trucks in the distance and the shouts of firefighters approaching. He brushed the dust off his clothes and showed a hint of fear of surviving a close call.

Look in the direction the two people left.

There was not a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes.

Only burning desire.

"A secret martial artist—can they really reach this level?!"

after that.

The fire has been extinguished.

After rescue efforts, the number of people affected was tallied.

This time, most of the Hu clan members in the Hu family compound were killed or injured, which can be described as a real blow to their vitality.

The only good news is that Hu Zhenkui, the clan leader who has reached the Bone Tempering Realm, is still alive.

Having suffered a severe blow, Hu Long is temporarily unable to obtain any useful information from the other side.

Three days later, the sky was overcast and a light rain was falling.

Yantai City, Provincial Hospital.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Inside the intensive care unit.

Hu Long met Hu Zhenkui here.

However, compared to before.

At this moment, Hu Zhenkui was wrapped in bandages all over his body, looking like a mummy.

Only his eyes were visible; countless tubes extended from his body, connecting to the equipment beside the bed.

He was completely still in the hospital bed.

"————Ahem————That's how it is. If it weren't for the fact that the Ji family member happened to be a guest at the Hu family, I'm afraid I would have already lost my life."

Hu Zhenkui's voice was weak, completely different from before.

At this moment, he looks more like an old man.

Upon hearing this...

Hu Long frowned slightly.

During the subsequent rescue, they found Hu Zhenkui in the ruins; he was almost completely charred.

He was seriously injured.

It took a full day and night of emergency treatment, plus the physique of a martial artist at the Bone Tempering Realm, to barely pull the person back from the brink of death.

But that was all; he simply woke up.

He can't even get up.

However, through Hu Zhenkui's intermittent narration, Hu Long finally understood the whole story.

The one who launched the attack was the long-haired, black figure he had seen earlier.

It is the mysterious leader of the Pure Fire Cult.

A genuine blood transfusion.

The previous "Black Reef" incident.

It just so happened that a Blood Exchange Realm expert from the Ji family was passing through Yangang City, so he stopped by the Hu family as a guest, intending to learn more detailed information.

If not.

Given the opponent's strength.

Not only Hu Zhenkui, but the entire Hu family will be wiped out.

There is absolutely no way anyone could have survived.

"However, the Blood Exchange Realm actually possesses such power? What would an even more powerful Yuan Core look like?!"

Thinking back to what I had just witnessed.

Hu Long has gained a deeper understanding of the existence of this realm.

The aftershocks alone could severely injure or kill an ordinary person at the Skin Tempering Realm or Bone Tempering Realm.

The power of a simple gesture can split the earth open; how is this different from the terrestrial deities in myths and legends?

Thinking this way.

He vaguely understood that the Pure Fire Sect Master was willing to take the risk and personally intervene.

I'm afraid it's all for the "incomplete scroll of the medical text," or to be more precise, for that piece of human skin.

That thing seemed far more complex than Hu Long had imagined; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted a martial artist at the Blood Exchange Realm to come in person.

"My injuries are too severe, and in my current condition, it will be difficult for me to fully recover."

Even if they manage to survive, their strength will inevitably be greatly diminished, and they will likely be unable to continue managing the Hu family.

Hu Zhenkui changed the subject abruptly, his voice becoming utterly calm.

Hu Long's eyes flickered slightly.

The other party is right.

That body of skin and flesh was almost charred and burned by the eerie blood fire; it was a miracle that it survived.

Even with the recovery ability of a martial artist at the Bone Tempering Realm, their strength will inevitably be greatly diminished in the future.

"Therefore, I am prepared to pass the position of clan leader to Hu Lin."

If possible, I hope that you and Hu Li can do your best to assist him.

"Hu Lin?"

Hu Long raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although he had never met this person before, he was not unfamiliar with him.

In the entire Hu family, besides Hu Long, there are only two other martial artists at the Jade Skin Realm.

One is the newly promoted Hu Li, and the other is Hu Lin.

This person has exceptional talent.

It is said that he has already reached the peak of the Skin Polishing Realm and is currently in seclusion to break through to the Bone Tempering Realm.

Just then, Hu Zhenkui's voice rang out again.

"I know you are very strong. Even if Hu Lin breaks through the Bone Tempering stage, he might not be your match."

"So if you want to sit in this position, you can take it over at any time without worrying about me! If possible, it would be best to spare his life and not let him get stained with the blood of his own kind."

Hu Long looked up.

Hu Zhenkui had already closed his eyes and was breathing steadily.

It was as if those few words he had just spoken were merely his illusion.
