Wu Fort.
The sky was high and clouds were sparse, as over a hundred banners nearly obscured the entire sky, casting wave-like rolling shadows.
The Zhang Family's Blood Tiger Banner and the Li Family's Wave Pattern Banner tangled together in the wind, rustling loudly.
The shouts of the crowd grew more intense, and the clash of weapons in the Martial Arts Performance Ground was sharp and piercing.
This was supposed to be a normal martial competition, except for one difference, the boundary encircling the Martial Arts Performance Ground wasn't made of bricks and stones, but of two dried up, fleshless Snake Corpses, linked head to tail.
The Snake Corpses were dehydrated by the sun, half-molted and half-rotten like ripe, open pinecones, riddled with dense and narrow wounds.
