When system cheat becomes rampant!

Under the hazy moonlight, a man with a bloodstained face was sitting against the wall, clutching his abdomen tightly. There was a bloody hole there, oozing purple blood that resembled the result of a severe poisoning. His aura was extremely chaotic, his life force weak, seemingly at the end of his tether.

It was a human!

Even though Xiang Beifei couldn't see the other's system interface, he was certain this was a human!

A living human!

This shocked Xiang Beifei considerably!

He hesitated about whether to go over and ask about the situation, but at this moment, the middle-aged man gave a miserable smile and sighed, "To think that our grand Hanxia Human Race has come to such a pass, alas! Alas!"

Sounds of battle came from afar. He slightly raised his head to look at the sky, then it seemed as if several shadows sped across the twin moons above, disappearing into the distance.

"I must ensure the Dao embryo survives..."

The middle-aged man murmured with hope in his gaze, but the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Encountering a human in such a place was extremely surprising for Xiang Beifei, even if this human wasn't quite the same as those he had encountered before. Nevertheless, Xiang Beifei decided to step forward and find out what was going on.

So, he dispelled the Spiritual Power concealing himself and materialized beside the middle-aged man.

"Who?"

Just as Xiang Beifei had revealed himself and hadn't yet had the chance to speak, the bloodstained man suddenly looked up, staring intently at Xiang Beifei, then burst out in a low growl, "It's you again!"

— It's you again?

Xiang Beifei looked around; there was no one else, only him.

"Are you talking about me?"

He found it strange, as it seemed like the first time he had seen this person before him. Why did it sound like the other recognized him?

"May I ask who you are..."

Xiang Beifei was just about to ask politely, when suddenly an incredibly terrifying aura burst forth from the man. This aura was so powerful, like surging floodwaters, violently sweeping upward, booming in the air, pressing down on Xiang Beifei. It seemed as though the sky itself was collapsing.

He inhaled sharply. The last time he encountered such a terrifying aura was from his grandfather!

Immortal Realm!

Without any hesitation, Xiang Beifei immediately retreated!

He hadn't expected to meet someone so eerie and terrifying!

The middle-aged man held a sword in one hand, using it to prop himself up as he stood. Despite being at death's door, he looked at Xiang Beifei angrily, as if Xiang Beifei had committed some heinous crime.

"You must be mistaken?" Xiang Beifei called out as he retreated.

"Your aura, even if it turned to ashes, I would recognize it!" the bloodstained man thundered, his eyes becoming extremely red as if viewing Xiang Beifei as a mortal enemy.

However, the middle-aged man did not attack; he just stood there, seeming to have exhausted all his strength, unable even to make a final strike. His aura gradually dissipated and quieted down until the last bit of life force completely extinguished.

It was like a gust of wind had passed; the man's flesh and clothes gradually corroded away into a wisp of white light and dissipated in the moonlight, leaving nothing but a pile of dry bones.

Xiang Beifei leaped back onto the broken city wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

Why had that man said, "It's you again," earlier?

He found it very odd, as he didn't recall knowing such a person.

Could it be a case of mistaken identity?

But that didn't seem right either. How could someone so powerful be mistaken?

Moreover, it seemed the other party recognized his aura. For someone with such formidable strength, it was certainly not an ordinary encounter, which made it even stranger.

Xiang Beifei stood on the wall, staring at the skeleton until he was sure there was no danger, and then he stepped forward, approaching the middle-aged man's bones to inspect them.

The bones were jade white, different in texture from those of ordinary people, sculpted like a work of art, inspiring admiration.

"Has he trained his bones specially?" Xiang Beifei couldn't help but think.

Even though the man had turned into a skeleton, he still maintained his standing posture, still clutching his sword, and still exuded an aura of resoluteness mixed with a chilling kill intent, prompting a Strategic Retreat.

Xiang Beifei found it impossible to approach the skeleton because its fierce aura hadn't entirely faded and was still intimidating.

"So powerful! I never expected even a skeleton after death to possess such terrifying might!"

Xiang Beifei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He himself was an expert in the later stages of orifice transforming, not necessarily afraid even in the Heavenly Connection, but this middle-aged man gave him a profound sense of oppression and threat.

His grandfather's aura was very strong as well, but he always contained it around his grandson, not affecting Xiang Beifei. However, the skeleton before him was fully baring its sharp edge!

Xiang Beifei observed the skeleton from a distance, noticing a grayish-white ring on the finger of the skeleton. Under the illumination of the twin moons, he could barely make out its rough texture.

Unable to approach the skeleton but still wanting to take the ring to examine it, he began to contemplate how to deal with the threatening aura emanating from the bones.

Soon, he thought of his own black and white Spiritual Power, which he had just recently begun to explore, realizing it might not be a bad idea to test it out now. Without delay, he unleashed his black and white Spiritual Power, extending it forward to block what was ahead.

A black and a white stream of Spiritual Power immediately spiraled out, latching onto the fierce aura.
