An eerie gale condensed into a Hammer of the Storm, viciously crashing down. Its aftermath rippled out in astonishing gusts, engulfing everyone in a sticky white fog that pummeled the Blood Wine barrier shielding them.
Immediately, a pungent, sweet, and decayed stench surged forth, mingled with ghostly wails, like sounds emanating from a skull's cavities.
"Ah!"
The Blood Wine barrier broke open a hole. A nearby noble, caught too close, let out a piercing scream. He suffered the torture of a thousand cuts as an entire layer of his skin peeled off like a garment.
His entire being was a mess of flesh and blood, with muscles, veins, and bones fully exposed. In the next instant, the white fog whisked him away, consuming him completely. Only a tattered piece of human skin remained, sparking panic among the crowd.
If just the aftermath was this terrifying, what about Chu Yi, who was at the center?
