Chapter 427: Chapter 426: No Way Out

Five skeletal figures, five sets of armor?

No, that was definitely not five sets of Skull Armor.

What could be seen now were five skeletal remains that had ’swallowed’ five Westerners into their ’bellies’.

The moment the five were ’devoured’, Lin Hao could clearly feel the instant dissipation of five lively life forces, replaced by an increasingly strong and fierce cold dominance!

"Boom!!"

Lin Hao’s Hand Power was blocked by an invisible barrier, ten steps away from the five Westerners. With a loud noise, an almost transparent Energy Shield, shaped like an upside-down bowl, centered around the five Westerners, forcefully thwarted Lin Hao’s strike.

This was not Lin Hao’s first encounter with such a Shield; in fact, these things weren’t usually difficult. However, an Energy Shield of such power was something Lin Hao had never encountered before on Earth.

Strong!

Extraordinarily strong!

Without a successful hit, Lin Hao leaped to the ground, and immediately, he felt five nearly destructive wills locking onto him!

"What a strong human lad, pity he wasn’t chosen as the physical medium, otherwise, I could exert half of my power."

"Pity, these five bodies are truly too weak. Having just possessed them and before fully merging, we can only exert one percent of our power. This is really frustrating."

"With things as they are, more words are useless. These two humans, since they’ve come to us, let us send them off first, and then we will continue recovering our strength, merging with the bodies."

"Correct, it has been ten thousand years. The Heavenly Slaying Lord trapped us here for ten thousand years. Finally, we have this opportunity, and we must not allow the Heavenly Slaying Lord to get ahead of us!"

"Back in that battle, the Heavenly Slaying Lord didn’t get the better of us either; his injuries may not have been lighter than ours. Moreover, he must also be on this island. As gentlemen seeking revenge, ten thousand years is not too late!"

"The Heavenly Slaying Lord probably didn’t expect, we had a contingency plan. The Primordial Stones here are enough for us to quickly recover."

"Very well, the third one, kill those two humans, then we seclude ourselves to merge!"

The five green skeletons did not take Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng seriously at all, chatting with each other on the side.

What shocked Lin Hao was that they were speaking the common language of the Eternal Life Realm!

"What are they babbling about?" Mo Changfeng obviously couldn’t understand the language of the Eternal Life Realm, but the five skeletons’ unabashed chatter from a distance made him feel uneasy. He didn’t know if Lin Hao could understand them, just asking out of habit.

"They..." Lin Hao’s eyebrows knitted tightly, he didn’t finish his sentence, and then he saw the skeleton that was called "the third one" turning its head to look over at him.

Inside that skeleton was the body of the hook-nosed foreigner, who by now had completely lost his life, yet his body was controlled by the skeleton.

The skeleton’s feet stood on the hook-nosed man’s feet, its toes wrapping around like hooks. The skeleton’s bony hands were grasping the man’s hands.

The skeleton’s ribs, row upon row, were tightly embracing the hook-nosed foreigner’s bulky frame.

The hook-nosed foreigner’s head was entirely enveloped in the skeleton’s mouth, barely visible, only making out how the skeleton’s upper and lower jaw nearly clamped onto the foreigner’s neck. And the skeleton’s pair of dark eye sockets seemed to be rolling upwards, emitting a green glow, akin to a phantom, staring at Lin Hao from afar.

Without eyeballs, yet Lin Hao felt as if the skeleton’s gaze had penetrated his body, seeing thoroughly his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

It was a terrifying feeling. In an instant, Lin Hao’s hair stood on end; without a second word, he extended a hand to grab Mo Changfeng’s hair and started to retreat swiftly backwards!

"Go!!!"

```

With a long howl, Lin Hao didn’t bother attacking those five eerie skeletons, nor did he show any intention of lingering here. His figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.

"Ouch!"

From within the great hall, Mo Changfeng’s cries of pain could be heard, but by then, the silhouettes of the two had already vanished without a trace.

"He’s quite the character; however, having encountered us, the five elders of the Ghost Gate, he only has a path to death!"

The skeleton known as Elder Three saw Lin Hao escaping with the speed of lightning while carrying a person and a strange hue flashed across its terrifying ghastly eye sockets, but immediately afterward, it walked on without any hint of emotional fluctuation.

It walked as if it were a mere person, indiscernible whether it was the skeleton walking with a person, or a person walking with the skeleton - the movements of the skeleton and the hooked-nose foreigner synchronized perfectly.

Yet, the moment this step was taken, which seemed to only cover a distance of one and a half meters, the skeleton appeared atop the Primordial Stone Mountain fifty meters away in the blink of an eye, and then, in another wink, the skeleton was gone.

Escape!

At this moment, Lin Hao had no other thoughts.

The five skeletons possessing the foreigners were certainly not ordinary beings; they were undoubtedly powerful beings from the Eternal Life Realm. From their conversation, was there also someone called the Heavenly Slaying Lord?

Lin Hao had no recollection of this name, and even in his memories of his past life, he had never heard of the Heavenly Slaying Lord within the Eternal Life Realm. However, given the vastness of the Eternal Life Realm, akin to the universe, it wouldn’t be uncommon not to have heard of such powerful figures.

Nevertheless, no matter what, Lin Hao understood that with his current strength, he stood no chance against any one of those five skeletons, and might even be killed here.

If he couldn’t win, then flee!

Lin Hao was no fool, on the contrary, in his previous life, a rootless person from Earth had managed to step by step ascend to become the Immortal Emperor in the Eternal Life Realm by adhering to a famed saying of a great man from Huaxia.

If you can’t win, run away; as long as the green mountains are there, one need not worry about firewood.

But where could he run to here?

In an instant, Lin Hao returned to the location of the Stone Gate with the speed of the wind and lightning.

But!

What Lin Hao had not anticipated was that one of those skeletons was now standing at the entrance of the Stone Gate!!!

How could this be possible!

Turmoil surged in Lin Hao’s heart, his expression grave, and he could scarcely believe it.

He was sure he had fled first and at a good speed. All the way, there was no sign of being overtaken. How and when had the skeleton got in front of him, leisurely awaiting his arrival at the Stone Gate?

"Young human, your speed is quite fast, but having met the five elders of the Ghost Gate, today is the day you die. Out of respect for your hard-achieved cultivation, you have five seconds to take your own life and spare me the effort."

The voice of the skeleton was like flames and ashes, chilling those who heard it to the bone. Moreover, the voice was in the Huaxia language, cautiously ensuring Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng would understand.

If one looked closely, they could even see the hooked-nose foreigner’s mouth inside the skeleton opening and closing as the words were spoken.

"Kill yourself my ass! Telling me to kill myself, I think the one who should... you..."

Mo Changfeng was a hot-blooded man, and seeing the only escape route cut off, he roared furiously at the skeleton without a care in the world.

But before he could finish, Lin Hao had already moved again, grabbing Mo Changfeng by the hair and flying backwards in retreat.

"Giggling, given a chance for a good death, you choose a miserable one, don’t blame me then. I’m curious to see how you’ll escape from my Five Fingers Mountain!" The skeleton sneered coldly, stepping leisurely towards the direction Lin Hao had disappeared, entirely at ease.
