Chapter 179: Escaping The Gu Formation
Soon, Wu Yi Hai received a message from his information path mortal Gu, given to him by Wu clan.
"Wu Yi Hai, or should I call you Fang Yuan? We can discuss and do a transaction. Use your Immortal Gu to buy your life. How about it?"
Wu Yi Hai quickly told Fang Yuan about the message, after which Fang Yuan used reverse flow protection seal on Wu Yi Hai.
Inside Wu Yong's immortal aperture, Gu worms flew one after another like layers of clouds, almost covering the sky of the aperture.
"This is the signature killer move that Wu clan, a former super clan of Southern Border, had used to inflict darkness and terror to Southern Border's Gu Immortal world. After my Wu clan obtained it, we have been keeping it a secret, worried that we would be excluded by the joint forces of the other clans should they find out. Now, Fang Yuan, have a taste of it."
Cold light erupted in Wu Yong's eyes.
The immortal killer move activated!
However, using his methods, he restrained the aura of the killer move, even Qiao Zhi Cai, who was standing beside him, did not sense it.
At the next moment, Wu Yong's expression changed, his body shook fiercely as he coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
"Lord Wu Yong, what's wrong?" Qiao Zhi Cai was pale with fright, quickly running over to support Wu Yong.
"How could this be?! Fortunately, I only wanted to warn and probe, and did not use its full might." Wu Yong was filled with shock, he had clearly targeted Wu Yi Hai, but he was the one who suffered.
Wu Yong lightly shook off Qiao Zhi Cai's hand.
His expression quickly recovered, coughing a few times: "No worries. It is a hidden injury from my battle at the purple blood river formation."
Qiao Zhi Cai immediately showed a moved and admirable expression: "Lord Wu Yong hurried over to save his little brother, disregarding his injuries. You are truly the model example of our righteous path!"
Wu Yong:"…"
He was silent for a moment, before saying to Qiao Zhi Cai: "You are amazing."
Wu Yong sent another letter to Wu Yi Hai, but Wu Yi Hai paid no more attention to it.
The training of the ancient battle formation Omni-directional Travel finally showed results and they were getting closer to success.
A resplendent radiance illuminated their surroundings.
The light quickly dissipated, Fang Yuan and the rest had disappeared from the spot.
The intense turbulence of space path was more or less sensed by the Southern Border Gu Immortals outside the dream realm.
"They have left. Maybe, one or two are left behind." Wu Yong was not surprised.
"But our Gu formation has yet to be constructed fully. They actually had such methods? Why didn't they use it earlier on? It definitely has some serious flaws." Qiao Zhi Cai guessed.
Chi Qu You stroked his beard: "No worries. Although my super Gu formation has not been arranged perfectly, it has produced some results. I believe that right now, they should have already been separated."
Many Southern Border Gu Immortals were clueless, but Wu Yong did not stint on his praise: "Chi clan's first supreme elder is truly formidable!"
A few hours later.
A white figure quickly streaked through the air.
Soon after, thunder and fire arrived, exploding in a line behind the figure.
The white figure dodged in time, coming out safe and sound. It then stopped and casually waved backwards.
Whoosh!
In an instant, ice and snow flew, and cold wind roared.
A figure came out of the thunder and fire, and had wanted to chase, but it quickly stopped and used defensive methods.
"Having rank six cultivation level but rank seven battle strength? Terrifying, truly worthy of a Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique Gu Immortal." Chai clan rank seven expert Chai Po Jun inwardly praised, before increasing his strength.
Bam.
The thick ice that had formed on his body could not resist his fierce power, immediately shattering into pieces.
His opponent was dressed in white, and had an extremely graceful figure.
She was dragon lady Bai Ning Bing.
She had activated the ancient battle formation Omni-directional Travel with Fang Yuan and the rest, but because of Chi Qu You's Gu formation, the battle formation was disrupted and the Gu Immortals were separated in all directions.
Bai Ning Bing had been teleported to this place and had immediately treated her injuries. She then moved towards the gathering point which Fang Yuan had set, but was intercepted by Chai Po Jun.
An intense battle began as a result.
"Amazing." Chai Po Jun suddenly spoke: "I have to hand it to you, Bai Ning Bing."
"You are only a rank six, but I am actually finding trouble dealing with you."
"I have been famous for a long time, and have long been a reputed rank seven fire path expert in Southern Border. But look at me now, I am actually unable to dispel this frost energy on me!"
"One of the ten extreme physiques, Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique, as well as Bai Xiang's true inheritance… it really makes people envious."
"If you were kind and walked the righteous path, you would definitely have a place in Southern Border's Gu Immortal world. A pity that you have fallen to the demonic path, bringing disaster to countless beings, your ending can only be death."
As he said this, Chai Po Jun paused, slightly turning his head to look at the horizon.
Crackle.
Lightning spread far and wide, cleaving ice and rocks, another rank seven expert had suddenly descended.
"Bai Ning Bing, you think you can escape after attacking Southern Border's righteous path?" This expert's eyes shined fiercely as he bellowed.
Chai Po Jun let out a breath of air when he saw the reinforcement.
"Be careful, this woman is extremely strong, we can't be careless."
"Relax, I have the information given by Lord Wu Yong. As long as we hold her here for some time, an expert specialized in battlefield killer moves will come to help us."
Just as the two were secretly communicating, Bai Ning Bing suddenly spoke.
"Idiots."
At the next moment, Bai Ning Bing suddenly erupted with a powerful aura.
"Damn! What immortal killer move is this? Its aura alone is so terrifying."
"I was delaying to wait for backup, I didn't expect Bai Ning Bing to also be delaying for time so she could prepare her killer move!"
The backup's heart shook, while Chai Po Jun shouted and blamed himself for walking into a trap.
…
"There is the eerie fire tunnel ahead. As long as I enter it, I can guard against deductions and wait for help." Hei Lou Lan moved quickly.
After a while of running, the eerie fire tunnel was already within five li.
However, right at this time, Hei Lou Lan suddenly stopped.
She gazed at the inconspicuous small tree ahead, her brows furrowed and all kinds of Gu worm aura gradually rose from her body.
"You only saw my Gu formation now, Hei Lou Lan, your vision is quite poor." A jesting voice came from nowhere.
The next moment, the Gu formation activated.
Hei Lou Lan's vision suddenly changed, the mountains and grassy lands disappeared, only a desert remained where not even grass grew.
Hei Lou Lan's pupils contracted.
"My speed was not slow. I have been moving according to Fang Yuan's instructions."
"The enemy actually knew my movement route, and also set up a Gu formation earlier."
"Did Fang Yuan sacrifice me, luring the enemy to me so that he had time to escape?"
Next she used an immortal killer move to break the Gu formation.
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred, flames raged everywhere.
"Even this move cannot destroy the Gu formation?" Sensing she was still inside the Gu formation, Hei Lou Lan's heart sank to rock bottom.
"I must admit… Hei Lou Lan, you are really strong."
"It is a pity that you do not possess even a meager amount of formation path attainment."
"I will be honest with you, even if your battle strength doubled, you still won't be able to forcibly break my signature Gu formation."
As he said this, the formation path Gu Immortal let out a long laugh of satisfaction.
Right at this time, the formation path Gu Immortal's laughter abruptly stopped.
"Damn it!" He let out a shout in which his fright could be clearly heard.
"A chance?!" Hei Lou Lan roused herself.
At the next moment, she saw the grey world of the Gu formation suddenly brightening up with long rays of light.
Sword light!
The sword lights flashed by, but they left behind long lines of white marks in the dark sky.
As the white marks rapidly enlarged, Hei Lou Lan heard a resonant dragon roar that quickly turned louder and louder until it was the only thing she could hear.
Hei Lou Lan's mind jolted.
"Fang Yuan!" Hei Lou Lan almost called out in joy.
The sword marks were enlarging rapidly, and like tearing open a mouth, bright light poured inside this enlarging mouth.
"No——!" That formation expert Gu Immortal let out an unresigned cry.
At the next moment, the immortal formation shattered loudly.
Light filled her vision.
Hei Lou Lan was on guard, her squinting eyes slowly opened up, and after adapting to the light, she saw Fang Yuan standing right beside her.
And that Southern Border Gu Immortal was being jointly attacked by Fairy Miao Yin and Black Tigress.
"I am safe!" Hei Lou Lan immediately let out a breath of relief and relaxed her mind.
The battle soon ended.
Fairy Miao Yin and Black Tigress were rank seven experts, and they were jointly attacking a rank seven Gu Immortal, they naturally had the advantage, this rank seven Gu Immortal quickly lost his life.
Fang Yuan stored the corpse in his sovereign immortal aperture and did not immediately annex it.
He called out to the upper extreme heavenly eagle: "Go! We will reinforce Bai Ning Bing."
By the time they saw Bai Ning Bing, the battle had ended.
In all the surroundings, it was a world of ice and snow.
Bai Ning Bing was in Bai Xiang form, proudly standing on top of a snowy peak. And her opponents - two were dead and one was injured.
The injured Southern Border Gu Immortal was filled with fright, and used all his strength to retreat.
But when he saw the upper extreme heavenly eagle appearing in the horizon, he almost lost hope.
However, Fang Yuan did not chase him, instead taking Bai Ning Bing and immediately leaving.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle changed directions, flying towards Western Desert.
Bai Ning Bing canceled the killer move Bai Xiang, and immediately collapsed on the eagle's back.
Bai Ning Bing fell unconscious immediately after canceling the killer move.
When Bai Ning Bing slowly woke up, the upper extreme heavenly eagle had already flown over a hundred thousand li.
"You actually came to save me?" Bai Ning Bing gazed at Fang Yuan and spoke without any politeness, expressing her astonishment.
Fang Yuan glanced at Bai Ning Bing expressionlessly and said lightly: "The situation is more serious than you imagine. We have all been struck by investigative killer moves. Which is why you were all intercepted by Southern Border righteous path Gu Immortals when you were escaping."
"Which Southern Border Gu Immortal was it? Fang Yuan, you are now Shadow Sect's leader and have inherited Purple Mountain True Monarch's inheritance, even you cannot break it?" Bai Ning Bing asked.
"I already tried." Fang Yuan lied shamelessly.
"The situation is even more complex, I suspect Heavenly Court has already collaborated with Southern Border's righteous path to eliminate us. Heavenly Court is using Southern Border's righteous path as a tool, but they won't just watch from the sidelines the whole time.
Besides the Southern Border righteous path Gu Immortals, we need to be careful of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals lying in ambush and waiting for a chance to deal with us!" Fang Yuan said in a heavy voice.
