The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1085: What Is Going On?

What Is Going On? . . .

A collective sigh of sympathy swept through the onlookers.

["Poor Cha Eun Xiao..."]

["He's spent over a dozen years outside the clan and returned just last night. Is he really going to be beaten to death like this?"]

Then came a resounding "crack" from the yard. It was quickly followed by a few more such sounds, each one a sickening snap of bones.

These sounds sent shivers down their spines. They were the sounds of ruthlessness and violence.

People were astonished. ["Is it over already?"]

["Did he defeat him with just one strike?"]

Those who had closed their eyes now opened them, only to be greeted by a horrifying sight.

In the yard, Cha Eun Xiao still stood with a bewildered expression on his face.

But across from him... Cha Zifeng had vanished. Instead, a pile of minced flesh lay on the ground.

Literally, a pile of minced flesh.

Following the brutal impact, Cha Zifeng was not only dead but had been torn into pieces. His body no longer resembled a human being, just a gruesome pile of flesh.

Unlike those who had turned away, the others had witnessed it all unfold before their eyes. When their hands met, Cha Zifeng's hand disintegrated almost instantly. In truth, the fight had ended at that very moment. However, Cha Eun Xiao appeared unable to halt the force of his strike. His hand continued its downward path as it had been, and as a result, it struck deep into Cha Zifeng's chest, shattering it.

Following that, another "crack" rang out as the force from the palm strike propagated through Cha Zifeng's chest and into every bone in his body. All of his bones shattered into fragments in an instant.

The over one hundred onlookers were in shock, their disbelief palpable.

["What... What just happened?"]

After a brief silence, a heart-wrenching cry pierced the air. "You scoundrel! You! You... You killed my grandson..."

Cha Eun Xiao responded in bewilderment, "What... What's going on... I didn't use much force... I thought he was delivering such a powerful strike that it sounded overwhelming... So, I just closed my eyes and tried to stop it with my hand... How did he end up dead? What happened?"

He appeared genuinely perplexed, as if he had no clue about the events that had transpired.

Cha Nantian struggled to suppress his laughter.

He had never realized that his son was such a remarkable actor!

If Song Jue were present, he would undoubtedly sneer at him. ["You're simply feigning ignorance. You haven't seen the incredible performance your son just put on... He's not only capable of making others 'accidentally' turn into a pile of flesh, but he can also impersonate a pile of meat himself..."]

Certain chapters in which he pretended to be a pile of flesh... which chapters...

"Everyone! Kill him!" Cha Shuxin had lost his composure.

"Hmm? What did you say? Kill me? Why?" Cha Eun Xiao shouted. "We had an agreement! We both agreed that accidents can happen in a fight, didn't we? If someone dies in an accident, it's unfortunate, but it's a part of combat! Why are you instructing them to kill me? You're the leader of Cha Clan, aren't you? How can you disregard your own words? Where's the dignity of a Clan Chief? You..."

Cha Eun Xiao's face turned crimson with anger. He pointed an accusatory finger at Cha Shuxin and continued, "Can't you be reasonable at all? You're filthy, ugly, vile, and dishonest..."

The onlookers were taken aback.

["He reduced his grandson to a pile of flesh. There isn't even a complete bone left of the kid. How can he accuse him of being unreasonable and dishonest..."]

However, the problem was that they had indeed made an agreement before the fight.

Cha Shuxin clenched his teeth and cried out, "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Ahhh..."

Yet, no matter how loud he shouted, no one moved. The archers on the wall appeared frozen, not budging an inch.

The others turned to look at the wall and the archers, puzzled. ["What's happening?"]

["Why aren't they following orders now?"]

Cha Eun Xiao also appeared confused. He raised his head and glanced at the men on the wall. Suddenly, he leaped up onto the wall himself.

"Be careful!"

"Get down!"

Both Cha Nantian and Cha Shuqing shouted simultaneously. Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

One or two archers wouldn't pose a threat to a cultivator. But a well-trained archer team was a different story. Even Dream Origin Stage cultivators might struggle to survive their onslaught. Cha Eun Xiao's actions were reckless and perilous.

However, Cha Eun Xiao paid no heed to his father and grandfather. He approached one of the archers and lightly pushed the archer with his finger. "Your Chief ordered you to kill me. Why aren't you moving? Didn't you hear him? Or were you pretending not to? Are you daft?"

The moment his finger touched the archer, the archer suddenly fell from the wall. With a resounding "puff," the archer hit the ground, and his head became separated from his body.

The detached head rolled away like a ball, covering quite a distance.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was astonished. But upon closer reflection, their fear deepened. The cut on the archer's neck was so smooth that no blood gushed out, as if it were a... wax statue.

Those who saw the clean cut froze in place. All they felt was terror. ["What... What's happening?"]

["Why is everything so unbelievable today, like a dream?"]

["Cha Eun Xiao smacked Cha Zifeng into a pile of flesh, and then the archers who were waiting on the wall suddenly stopped moving... One of them fell from the wall, and his head rolled away from his body. The cut on his neck is so smooth that no blood splattered... This is... beyond belief!"]

There were no words to describe the horror.

Suddenly, Cha Eun Xiao cried out in fear from the top of the wall. "Ah! What's happening? Why is this so bizarre?"

The others were all dumbfounded by the horrifying and surreal scene, but when Cha Eun Xiao exclaimed, they all felt the urge to spit blood. ["You know best what's happening! And yet you ask why? Who's supposed to know the answer..."]

Cha Eun Xiao continued onward to another archer and touched the second one. "Why aren't you moving either? Are you dead too?"

- Puff! -

Another archer fell from the wall, and his head rolled a distance away.

It was as if they were all falling duplicates.

- Puff! -

Another one tumbled down.

And another...

And another...
