Faceless Ones!
As Hanyu hurried toward the next battlefield, the horrific scene before him stirred a strange sense of familiarity.
Hundreds of withered corpses stood scattered across the ground. Judging by their clothes, all but a few from Yanluo Hall belonged to cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Beyond the corpses stood hundreds of Faceless Ones, all staring straight at him.
Hanyu couldn't explain why, but he had the distinct feeling that these things were familiar.
Suddenly, the hundreds of figures sprang into motion, all rushing to attack him.
When they were close, their bodies burst apart, scattering countless black droplets like a downpour.
Only then did Hanyu finally understand where that damned sense of familiarity came from.
Divine ability monsters!
No wonder the corpses below looked so familiar. The divine ability monsters he'd faced before had devoured cultivators' spiritual power and vitality in exactly the same way!
They'd simply been given new faces, becoming this horde of Faceless Ones.
If they hadn't attacked him, he never would've guessed where these things came from.
But now, Hanyu was almost certain: only Yanluo Hall could have released them.
Suddenly, flames flared in every direction. A massive firestorm erupted around Hanyu and swept toward the black droplets, crushing everything in its path.
This wasn't his first time dealing with divine ability monsters.
These things might be useful against other cultivators, but against him, Divine Fire was more than enough to keep them firmly in check.
Sure enough, beneath the firestorm's sweep, the droplets quickly fell. In just a moment, the area around Hanyu was completely clear.
"Yanluo Hall's tricks aren't all that impressive!"
He'd barely had the thought when the ground suddenly changed again.
The fallen black droplets sprang back to life. They rolled together, then transformed into Faceless Ones once more.
