"Energy erosion? How could there be a martial skill like this?"
Palius felt the energy in the space drilling into his body through every crack and crevice. It was as if the energy were alive, ceaselessly grinding away at the blood and qi within him. He was utterly stunned.
This erosion of blood and qi forced him to divert his focus and mobilize the blood and qi throughout his body to resist it. If he did not resist the erosion, his blood and qi would be worn away completely in less than a minute, and he would die on the spot.
Such a martial skill was simply unheard of.
"This martial skill is bizarre! Everyone, withdraw from this area immediately!"
Beast Karad swiftly issued the order as well, telling everyone to get away from the guard Mechanical Person before them. He had no intention of continuing the battle.
While distractedly mobilizing their blood and qi to resist the energy erosion, forget Sequence Transcendent Martial Skills—even advanced martial skills would be difficult to use. Even experts as powerful as them were affected this way. For anyone else, they likely would not even be able to use ordinary martial skills.
With Bone Forging Realm fighters like them unable to use martial skills, their physical attributes were only somewhat stronger than those of Peak Bone Forging Realm High-Stage martial artists. Facing a guard Mechanical Person whose attributes in every aspect had reached the Initial Stage Blood Condensation Realm was simply courting death.
"Trying to leave? Do you think you can escape?"
Red light flickered in the guard Mechanical Person's eyes. It let out a cold laugh in stiff, awkward Beastkin speech, then crossed the distance to Beast Karad in a single step. The greatsword in its hand came down in a vertical slash.
