"No, we can go back!"
Ao Yuan frowned, scanning his surroundings, and suddenly spoke.
"Since we already know this is the white smoke's problem, then as long as the source of the white smoke is resolved, everything will break down on its own!"
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian were startled, then quickly became weak again.
Though it was said so, how could this matter be easily resolved?
After all, with white smoke billowing everywhere, how could one possibly discern where the source lay.
"You wait!" Ao Yuan softly chanted.
His entire aura surged out like a monstrous tsunami.
Faintly, one could see clusters of golden light emerging from Ao Yuan's body, swirling around him.
Sensing Ao Yuan's immense aura.
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian were shocked.
They had never imagined that Ao Yuan could unleash such a potent aura.
While shocked, they were also somewhat perplexed.
What was Ao Yuan trying to do?
"Open for me!"
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan, his aura surging with every passing moment, let out a resonant roar that shook the heavens!
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the hurricane coiling around Ao Yuan seemed to receive an enormous boost and expanded rapidly.
The white smoke that Ao Yuan had dispersed in mid-air parted, creating a larger opening.
The skeletal remains within this gap instantly collapsed like machines that had lost power, falling to the ground in a heap.
"Go!"
Ao Yuan roared, directly grabbing Bai Feng and Ye Nantian, his massive body moving with the hurricane as they charged forward.
Wherever he went, the skeletal figures collapsed.
However, after Ao Yuan left, the positions he had vacated were quickly re-covered by the white smoke.
Following that, the fallen skeletal figures, as if imbued with a mysterious power, stood up again.
This sight made Bai Feng and Ye Nantian's hearts leap with fear.
If Ao Yuan weren't here, with just their own strength, how could they possibly survive? They would have long since died.
Ao Yuan controlled the hurricane, moving it around.
"Not here."
"Not here either!"
"Nor here."
He traversed several areas, Ao Yuan frowning and shaking his head silently.
Held in Ao Yuan's grasp, Bai Feng and Ye Nantian watched his actions, their eyes revealing a look of sudden understanding.
At this moment, they finally understood what Ao Yuan intended to do.
He intended to use the hurricane's ability to disperse the white smoke to directly locate the source of the white smoke.
And then...
To seal it off!
Upon realizing this, their expressions turned somewhat awestruck.
It had to be said, Ao Yuan's idea was indeed brilliant!
However...
This was more a matter of luck.
After all, the area covered by the white smoke was vast. Even with Ao Yuan's rapid movement, he could only cover one area at a time.
Watching the time tick away on their watches, Bai Feng and Ye Nantian grew anxious.
It wasn't the passage of time that made them anxious, but their frustration at being unable to help Ao Yuan.
They could only stand by and watch.
"It's here!"
Just then, Ao Yuan's gaze suddenly focused on a particular spot, and he exclaimed.
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian's eyes brightened, and they followed his gaze.
They saw, in front of the hurricane, an area of extremely dense white smoke.
Beneath this patch of white smoke lay numerous skeletal figures.
What was astonishing was that, under the influence of the hurricane, the white smoke in this area dispersed at a rate several times slower than the white smoke they had encountered before.
It was as if some external force was resisting it!
"Be careful, I'll go take a look!"
Ao Yuan said, then gently set Bai Feng and Ye Nantian down.
"Okay!"
"Your Majesty, the Guardian Beast, please go ahead and do what you must. Don't worry about us; we can hold on!"
The two stood back to back, their eyes flashing with determination as they watched the skeletal figures poised to attack at any moment.
As top warriors of Da Xia, they had already felt embarrassed by constantly troubling Ao Yuan in this ancient battlefield.
Now, when their help was needed, how could they refuse?
Ao Yuan nodded, no longer paying attention to them, and flew directly into the white smoke that the hurricane couldn't affect.
"Charge!"
"We must hold out at least until Ao Yuan returns!"
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian watched Ao Yuan's departing figure, then looked at the white smoke in the air that was gradually healing. They exchanged glances, their gazes finally falling upon the skeletal figures encircling them.
Swish!
In mid-air.
As the hurricane followed Ao Yuan away, the rift in the white smoke slowly repaired and healed. Numerous skeletal figures, who had been waiting for a long time, raised their hollow eyes to look at Bai Feng and Ye Nantian.
Each skeletal figure stared blankly at the two.
This scene was chilling. If an ordinary person saw so many skeletal figures staring at them, they would likely be terrified to death.
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian were not ordinary people, so they were not intimidated. However, considering the threat posed by these skeletal figures once the white smoke completely enveloped them, their complexions were not good.
They were confident in their ability to fend off a few skeletal figures.
But the number of skeletal figures converging was more than just a few.
How could the two of them possibly resist them?
Pat!
At this moment, the rift in the white smoke, blown open by the hurricane, completely sealed.
Bang!
The next second, a loud noise was heard.
The skeletal figures, who had been lurking, moved like bullets, swiftly charging towards the two men standing back to back.
"They're here!"
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian's hearts tightened.
"Stay with me!"
As Ye Nantian spoke, a flash of spiritual energy quickly formed a faint membrane around him.
The membrane was just enough to cover both him and Bai Feng.
Bang!
The skeletal figure collided with the membrane, causing the point of impact to ripple like water.
However, apart from this, the membrane remained otherwise unchanged.
At this moment, Bai Feng seized the opportunity and punched the skeletal figure in the chest.
Crack.
With a crisp sound, the ribs on the skeletal figure's chest instantly broke.
With Bai Feng's Foundation Establishment realm strength, how could it stop there? His punch continued with undiminished force, hitting the skeletal figure's spine.
Bang!
The spine instantly snapped, and the upper body of the skeletal figure sagged.
If this happened to a living person, they would be crippled, if not killed. But how could a living person be compared to these strange skeletal figures?
With its spine broken, the skeletal figure continued to advance towards Bai Feng and Ye Nantian in an extremely grotesque manner.
Bai Feng's eyes sharpened, and working together with Ye Nantian, they pulverized the skeletal figure in mere seconds.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, their defense of this single figure did not deter the horde.
Instead, the skeletal figures rushed towards Ye Nantian and Bai Feng in a swarm.
"Hmph!"
Bai Feng's face darkened, and he rapidly threw punches, creating streaks of fist shadows to ward off the skeletal figures in front of him.
For a time, due to the small area they occupied, they were able to manage.
However!
They would not be able to hold out for long.
If someone were to look down from above.
They would notice that Bai Feng and Ye Nantian only occupied a tiny area. Beyond this area, for tens of miles around, lay a dense sea of skeletal figures!
