Peerless Taoist

Zhen Ling immediately reacted after being stabbed by the knife. He threw his palm at the middle-aged man.    

He was an expert at the Aperture Extension realm. His magical energy had already been cultivated to the point of perfection. Even if he was seriously injured, he could still easily kill this person in front of him.    

However, when his hand reached out halfway, the originally solid magic power collapsed with a loud bang.    

Zhen Ling was slightly startled. Suddenly, his entire body went numb, and he fell limply to the ground.    

"Don't struggle anymore. I know that you are an expert who has gone beyond the Aperture Realm, so I specially used the Supreme Grade Bone Melting Powder. Within three breaths, your confinement will turn into blood." The middle-aged man said calmly.    

Zhen Ling raised his head with difficulty and said with a ferocious expression, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave this place alive."    

The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "I'm Family Head from the branch family. My status is the same as yours. Even if I kill you, I won't interfere with the family's grand formation."    

In Zhen Ling's eyes, resentment and unwillingness finally turned into a trace of despair.    

He could feel that all the muscles and bones in his body had started to melt.    

If this was a direct confrontation, he would never give anyone a chance to get close to him.    

However, even if he wanted to break his head, he could not figure out why this middle-aged man in front of him wanted to kill him.    

"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" Zhen Ling's eyes suddenly revealed a ruthless expression.    

Swoosh!    

A black shadow instantly emerged from between Zhen Ling's brows, and pounced towards the middle-aged man.    

That black shadow was Zhen Ling's appearance, but it was only a shadow. It was hard to tell if it was real or fake.    

"Soul leaving the body. As expected of a cultivator in the Aperture Breaking Stage." The middle-aged man looked at it with appreciation.    

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead.    

The crack became bigger and bigger, and in the end, the middle-aged man's head was split open.    

After the middle aged man's head split open, a pitch-black, sinister ghost drilled out from within.    

The ghost had six arms. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and its face was divided into two sides. One side was crying, and the other side was laughing.    

"You are not Zhen Fu. Who are you?!" Zhen Ling's soul trembled violently, and he turned around, wanting to escape.    

"Our ancient demon has been deployed for so many years. I didn't expect that there would be a brat who came from some unknown place to expose us. Since that's the case, there's no need for you to live anymore!" The ghost said with a sinister smile.    

"What? ancient demon?!"    

Zhen Ling's soul was trembling!    

What Lu Yu said was true!    

"Since you're here, then don't leave." The ghost opened its fangs and swallowed Zhen Ling's soul.    

Crack! Crack!    

In a pitch-black corner, a terrifying devouring sound could be heard.    

All the bones in Zhen Ling's body had already melted.    

In a pool of blood, Zhen Ling's human skin was slowly moving.    

Finally, the human skin fell on the middle-aged man's body.    

After that, black shadows that were swaying slowly rose.    

Crack! Crack! Crack!    

The sound of bones cracking could be heard, startling countless birds in the night.    

"Who is it!?" A Zhen Family servant had already sensed the sound, and rushed over with lanterns.    

"It's me."    

A person walked out from the darkness.    

Those servants hurriedly knelt on the ground. "So it's Elder Zhen Ling. We were rude."    

"I just came out for a walk. You guys can leave." Zhen Ling waved his hand.    

The servants all left. Zhen Ling then turned around and a flame fell down.    

In an instant, the flame rushed into the field and burned away all the blood.    

"Kid, how dare you spoil our good deed? When you hand over Family Head's token, it will be the time of your death!" Zhen Ling said with a cold smile.
