Chapter 525: Invisible chains

However, there is an eternal law: smiles do not truly disappear; they merely transfer to other places in some way.

Just like now, the smile that should have been on the Corpse Saint Sect man’s face suddenly vanished without a trace.

In its place, a strange smile blossomed on Hanba’s face.

This smile was completely different from the man’s previous one; it carried a chilling aura, as if emerging from the depths of hell.

Just then, Hanba suddenly raised his thick right hand, like a pillar supporting the sky, suspended in mid-air.

As Hanba’s right hand slowly rose, an invisible force also seemed to spread through the air.

Liang Yu keenly felt something beside him trembling slightly, as if being pulled by a powerful force.

Out of concern for his own safety, Liang Yu unhesitatingly retreated quickly, creating some distance from the moving object.

When he stood firm and looked closely, he realized it was just a false alarm.

The cause of the commotion turned out to be the dried corpses that had previously fallen from the Giant Tree.

These dried corpses had long since lost their life force and reverted to ordinary corpses after falling from the Giant Tree.

At this moment, they seemed to be activated by some mysterious power, slowly crawling out of the ruins.

However, for Liang Yu, these dried corpses did not pose any substantial threat.

However, while this might be a piece of cake for Liang Yu, for others, the situation was completely different.

When they witnessed the surging wave of corpses gradually surrounding them, everyone’s face instantly became extremely grim, as if enveloped by a heavy dark cloud.

If these corpse hordes were just ordinary walking dead, then for them, it would be a piece of cake, completely disregarded.

It could be said without exaggeration that they would only need to slightly raise their hands to easily annihilate these corpse hordes.

However, that was not the case.

These corpse hordes were affected by Hanba, and astonishing changes occurred.

They not only gained greater strength and speed but also evolved into even more terrifying existences like Flying Zombies.

Now, everyone was heavily surrounded by dense corpse hordes, as if trapped in an inescapable death trap.

And the power to decide all of this was in Hanba’s hands.

As long as Hanba gave the order, these corpse hordes would attack them fiercely, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

During this time, the people from the Wu Shen Cult actually proactively proposed to the remaining five members of the Zen Sect, hoping that both sides could temporarily put aside their grievances and jointly deal with the huge threat of Hanba.

However, to everyone’s surprise, these five members of the Zen Sect unhesitatingly rejected the Wu Shen Cult’s proposal directly.

Their attitude was exceptionally firm, with no room for discussion.

In their own words, they would rather choose death than live ignobly and associate with the people of the Wu Shen Cult, whom they regarded as livestock.

Liang Yu was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.

Watching the five people head directly towards Hanba, and then looking at the group of Wu Shen Cult members who had set up defenses in place, he suddenly felt that the bald donkeys of the Zen Sect might not be so annoying after all.

Indeed, some things require a control group to highlight their positive aspects.

The originally peaceful scene plunged into chaos due to the Zen Sect’s sudden attack on Hanba.

These five people moved like ghosts, swiftly weaving through the corpse hordes, making their movements difficult to track.

Just as everyone was astonished, one of the five suddenly flickered, rushing like lightning towards his own people who were controlled by Hanba.

In an instant, fists intertwined and palm winds roared, and the two immediately became entangled in a fierce struggle, inseparable.

At the same time, the other four, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, surrounded Hanba.

They unleashed the Zen Sect’s unique Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, launching round after round of fierce attacks on Hanba.

Facing such a fierce offensive, Hanba showed no fear; it let out roars, waving its arms, engaging in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the four.

Due to its powerful physique, the four could only entangle Hanba for a while and could not cause effective damage to him.

Even the lightning they summoned had little effect; although it had a restraining effect on him, Hanba was not foolish and would not directly confront the lightning.

On the other side, they looked at the Giant Beast moving towards them and quickly asked the Corpse Saint Sect people to find a way to deal with it.

What reached them faster than the Giant Beast itself was the Giant Beast’s corpse poison.

The corpse poison spread rapidly like thick smoke, and wherever it went, the ground was corroded with sizzling sounds.

The people of the Wu Shen Cult hurriedly cast their arcane arts, trying to block the invasion of the corpse poison, but this corpse poison was too fierce, and their defense line did not last long before being overwhelmed.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and left the ground to go into the air.

The Corpse Saint Sect man scattered a large amount of yellow paper talismans, forming a sphere that enveloped them, which made things a bit better.

But the air was not safe either; those dried corpse hordes joined the battle after the corpse poison.

Liang Yu was with Hanba, watching their exchange, and had no intention of helping.

Hanba was currently slightly at a disadvantage; although he appeared to be suppressed by the four, he had not suffered any serious injuries in reality.

After a while, Hanba also became somewhat annoyed, and Liang Yu saw that he seemed to be preparing to unleash a powerful move to eliminate those Zen Sect people in one go.

So he quickly distanced himself, continuing to observe the battle and enjoy the show.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, as if a thin veil obscured his sight.

He rubbed his eyes hard, and when he looked closely, he gasped—Hanba’s body was inexplicably covered in many invisible shackles!

These shackles were like mysterious runes, tightly entwined around Hanba’s body, emitting a faint glow.

Their presence created an invisible pressure, as if they were specifically designed to suppress Hanba’s power.

He discovered that most of the power Hanba mobilized each time would be restrained by these shackles.

He turned to look at the Corpse Saint Sect’s Giant Beast; there was nothing on its body, and then he looked at Hanba again, and the shackles on his body were still there.

This made Liang Yu feel a bit curious, and he began to carefully ponder the connection.

The appearance of the shackles was clearly related to Hanba’s engagement with the Zen Sect members, meaning that this move was likely something they possessed.

The more Liang Yu thought about it, the more interesting he found it, secretly wondering how to obtain this move from them.

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly, the situation took an astonishing turn!
