Graveknit didn't dodge.
It simply raised one arm.
CRACK.
The elder's fist smashed into the creature's forearm.
Bone fragments shattered slightly under the impact.
But Graveknit didn't move.
The elder's eyes widened.
"What—"
Graveknit's other arm shot forward instantly.
Several thin bone fragments extended from its wrist like grasping claws.
They wrapped around the elder's arm.
"Got you," Graveknit said calmly.
With a violent pull, it yanked the man forward.
Then its head slammed forward.
CRACK!
Bone collided with flesh.
The elder's nose shattered instantly.
Before the man could even scream, Graveknit drove its knee into his stomach.
The impact knocked the air out of him.
Then Graveknit's arm twisted sharply.
SNAP.
The elder's arm bent in the wrong direction.
His scream filled the courtyard.
Meanwhile, the other three cultivators attacked together.
One elder swung a long saber toward Graveknit's back.
