Thud.
A dull footstep echoed from deep inside the hole, and the entire Bone Mountain shook with it.
More than a dozen cracks split across the white bone ground at the summit with a series of sharp snaps. Gravel and bone dust showered down.
Then came a second step, and a third.
Each step landed in time with their heartbeats, shaking their internal organs so violently they nearly shifted out of place.
The thing inside that enormous heart...
Was coming out.
Someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Everyone, focus fire!"
That shout was like a spark igniting a powder keg.
All the fear they had built up turned into a frenzied urge to attack.
Wang Ying drew her saber. The instant the Black Gold Ancient Saber left its sheath, a brilliant ribbon of saber light slashed out, striking the enormous heart and cutting a three-meter-long gash straight through it.
The flesh of Liu Hong's left arm churned, forming the Flesh-and-Blood Submachine Gun. He pulled the trigger, unleashing a torrential barrage of flesh-and-blood bullets. The gunfire rattled deafeningly.
The Monk roared, Dragon-Shaped Qi Force surging around him. He thrust out a palm, sending the phantom of a golden dragon roaring into the heart.
Ye Zefeng and Liang Xiuyan attacked at the same time. Invisible fate alteration power covered the enormous heart, working with crisscrossing Sound Blades to shred its outer shell and send flesh flying.
Only Yang Yong remained still.
His instincts screamed a warning. That prickling sense of danger at his back had not weakened with their attacks; instead, it kept growing stronger.
After one round of concentrated fire, the enormous heart exploded.
Flesh and tissue splattered everywhere. Some of it vaporized outright under the heat and energy impacts, turning into crimson dust that drifted through the air.
