My Talent Skill Mutated

Taking a step, Chen Yu arrived before the statue.

Gazing at the lifelike statue before him, Chen Yu reached out to touch it.

VMMMM—!

A ghostly light burst from the humanoid statue. The next second, a ghost flew out from within it.

"Such fresh, tender life force. It must be delicious!"

The ghost shrieked, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Chen Yu.

But the instant it drew near, a ball of Undead Flame materialized.

TSS~

A sound like sizzling meat echoed as the Undead Flame enveloped the ghost, incinerating it in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

With the ghostly creature slain, the stone statue before him seemed to lose its 'vitality.' Cracks spread across its surface before it crumbled into rubble.

Watching the statue crumble, Chen Yu's gaze shifted toward the city's depths.

A daring thought surfaced in his mind.

'Could it be that all the people in this city were sealed into these statues?'

'Did the ghost army from before come from this city?'

The moment he had this thought, Chen Yu's expression shifted.

'What kind of power could seal away an entire city's worth of life like this?'

'What kind of overwhelmingly devastating attack was this?!'

'Perhaps it's just an isolated case…'

Chen Yu's thoughts shifted, and he calmed himself.

'This is all just speculation. The only way to know the truth is to investigate.'

Zhuang Bo came to his side and stared at the shattered statue. The ghost that had just burst out was just like the others. 'Don't tell me this entire city is filled with these ghosts?!'

At the thought, the color drained from Zhuang Bo's face.

'If that's really the case, then who knows how many ghosts are in this city.'

'Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Or even more?!'

"Be careful. There might be more of these ghostly creatures here," Chen Yu warned.

Zhuang Bo nodded.

The two of them then continued deeper into the silent city.

Soon, they saw a second, a third, and then countless more humanoid statues.

The statues were all in different poses: some were resting, some were walking, and some were even frozen in the middle of an argument.

One or two on the street wouldn't have been surprising, but thousands upon thousands of them was downright eerie.

Chen Yu scanned the area. Every statue here was incredibly lifelike, and just like the first one, each possessed a kind of vitality.

Seeing so many statues, Chen Yu instinctively looked up at the sky above the city.

The sky shimmered with purple light, its powerful radiation blanketing every corner of the city.

'Is it related to the radiation here?' a thought popped into Chen Yu's mind.

Chen Yu looked at the humanoid statues lining the street.

VMMMM—!

Just then, one of the statues began to glow. Immediately after, as if starting a chain reaction, a second and third followed, until finally, every statue on the street began to react.

Light flared, and humanoid ghosts shot out of the statues one by one.

It wasn't just the statues. The buildings lining the street—apartments, supermarkets, movie theaters, every shop and room—all began to emit an intense glow.

Humanoid ghosts shot out one after another, like sharks drawn to blood.

In an instant, these humanoid ghosts swarmed the entire street.

They were a dense, writhing mass, a force easily rivaling the ghost army they had encountered before.

This massive horde of ghosts swept directly toward the two of them.

It was a terrifying sight, enough to scare any ordinary person to death!

VMMMM—!

The instant the ghosts drew near, purple Undead Flame ignited in Chen Yu's eyes. It rapidly spread over his entire body, and in a flash, he had shifted into his Undead Form.

VMMMMMM!!!

His figure shot into the air. In his Undead Form, it was easier for Chen Yu to manipulate the Undead Flame.

Vast torrents of Undead Flames appeared, sweeping across the sky.

"AHHHHHH!!!"

A chorus of piercing screams shattered the city's silence. None of the ghosts burned by the Undead Flame escaped.

Wisps of smoke rose as the ghostly creatures were incinerated one after another.

Zhuang Bo wasn't idle, either. He activated his Qi and unleashed his Superpower. Although his attacks weren't as devastatingly effective against the ghosts as Chen Yu's, he had no problem fending them off.

Just then, countless ghosts began to swarm in from every direction, a seemingly endless tide.

They would destroy one wave of ghosts, only for more to rush forward to take their place.

They advanced wave after wave, heedless of their own destruction!

These ghostly creatures specialized in Spiritual Attacks and could siphon away a person's spirit and soul.

However, the prerequisite was that the ghost had to possess its victim first.

As long as one avoided possession, it wasn't a major threat.

For Chen Yu, this was even less of a problem. His Undead Form was, in a sense, a type of ghostly form itself.

Except his was far more terrifying than any ordinary ghost!

Wielding the Undead Flame and watching the unending stream of ghosts, Chen Yu showed no signs of backing down.

As long as he didn't use the ultimate ability of his Lord of the Undead Skill, he could maintain this state for a very long time.

He could now sustain the mental toll for an extended period.

As ghosts swarmed in from every direction, Chen Yu shot into the sky, drawing ninety-nine percent of their fire.

This tremendously reduced the pressure on Zhuang Bo.

Zhuang Bo was more than capable of handling the few ghosts that remained.

After all, he was a Seventh-level Martial Artist and also an Awakened.

Dealing with a few hundred or even a thousand ghosts was not a major problem for him.

"Damn it! Brothers, combine! Let's get him!"

"Combine! Combine!"

"Devour his flesh! His soul must be exquisite!"
