Liu tribe defense line, inside the camp tent.
"Mother, what kind of person was father?" Chang Ji You had a hesitant expression, after a long while, he asked the burning question in his heart.
He had never met Chang Shan Yin, back then when Chang Shan Yin's mother died from poison, and when Chang Shan Yin fought to the death with Ha Tu Gu, Chang Ji You was only an unborn child in his mother's womb.
His mother Ni Xue Tong had a frowned expression as she breathed out, using a nostalgic tone: "My child, has your heart wavered? Don't forget our current circumstances. Don't worry about your father, he is a legend in northern plains, back then he killed Ha Tu Gu and the bandits single-handedly, he is a hero who exterminated a great threat for the people."
Chang Ji You interrupted his mother: "Mother, I'm sick of hearing that. Since birth, I've been hearing these stories all my life, wherever I go, whatever I do, people will say 'oh look, as expected of Chang Shan Yin's son'. Father is like the eagle in the sky, flying high and casting his shadow on the ground. In a few days, I will be meeting him, my heart is in a mess, I just want to hear his..."
Chang Ji You was still speaking, when the tent flap was opened, as a domineering middle-aged man with a powerful aura walked in.
It was Chang tribe's current tribe leader, Chang Shan Yin's brother, rank four upper stage wind path expert, Chang Biao.
"Greetings to lord stepfather." Chang Ji You quickly paid respects.
"My child, go out first, I need to talk with your mother." Chang Biao said gently.
"Yes." Chang Ji You had to leave the tent.
Once the flap was closed, with the guards outside, there were only Chang Biao and Ni Xue Tong left in the tent.
"Husband!" Ni Xue Tong jumped into Chang Biao's embrace, tears flowing out of her weak and feeble eyes.
"Sigh, I know you have been feeling terrible these days!" Chang Biao embraced Ni Xue Tong as he caressed her hair softly. At the same time, he used his Gu worm to isolate the place from the outside.
Ni Xue Tong sobbed: "You Er has been asking me about Chang Shan Yin again, what should I say? Do you know, just now I had the urge and almost told him the truth, that he is not Chang Shan Yin's flesh and blood, that he is the crystallization of our love!"
Chang Biao's body shuddered, he was also feeling great conflict and pain in his heart.
He solemnly said: "This is all my fault for being useless! Back then we were childhood friends, it was Chang Shan Yin who came into the picture abruptly and lusted after your beauty. On the day of our marriage, he snatched you away. I was not his match, I could only find you at night secretly and that resulted in our son Chang Ji You. But once he was born, if his bloodline was examined, the truth would be out and we would be doomed. Thus, I and Ha Tu Gu cooperated and plotted against Chang Shan Yin."
"Next, I used my status as Chang Shan Yin's brother to marry you and make Chang Ji You my godson. These years, although the tribe isn't in good shape, this is the happiest years of our lives. Chang Ji You was successfully made young tribe leader by me, but precisely so, you cannot expose this secret."
Once the secret is exposed, Chang Biao and Ni Xue Tong would get publicly shamed, they would be called an 'adulterous couple', and they will never be able to raise their heads again. They even caused harm to an expert of the tribe, for their own selfish motives, they disregarded the tribe's situation, it was truly a heinous crime!
As for Chang Ji You, he would be the shameful 'illegitimate child'. Be it his young tribe leader position, or Chang Biao's tribe leader position, they would be at risk of being taken, as people with ambitions would target them.
Righteous path had its own rules.
All along, Chang Biao had been taking care of his deceased brother's wife, and treated his godson as his own. Such brotherhood was admirable, such gracefulness was praised widely.
And exactly because of this, Chang Biao held a small advantage and became Chang tribe's new tribe leader.
Once this truth was exposed, he would lose everything. The ambitionists in the tribe would not let him go. In order to recruit Chang Shan Yin, Liu Wen Wu would not give up this chance.
By then, his only option would be to escape with Ni Xue Tong and his own flesh and blood Chang Ji You, becoming a demonic Gu Master. He would be despised by his tribe, and chased by his tribe.
"Why? Why! Why is Longevity Heaven doing this to us! We love each other so dearly, yet we end up in such a spot! Chang Shan Yin was the real culprit, he is an evil person, why is he praised. As for us, we can only wear a mask to live, even lying to our own son?" Ni Xue Tong cried profusely, she was very emotional.
These days, she had been under a lot of pressure.
Ever since 'Chang Shan Yin' reappeared, she had not been sleeping well, her former nightmare reappeared, causing her to fall into deep worry.
"Do you think that Liu tribe alliance leader is trying to recruit Chang Shan Yin? If Chang Shan Yin agrees, would we have to go back to that life? Chang Shan Yin is taking revenge everywhere now, will he find out the fact that we plotted against him? If he returns to the tribe, what will we do?" Lying in her lover's embrace, Ni Xue Tong asked multiple questions as she raised her neck.
"It won't happen, it won't. Don't think of it as such a severe situation." Chang Biao gently consoled the woman of his life.
"Firstly, Chang Shan Yin has not found out we were the culprit. Otherwise, with his nature, he would've declared it long ago and caused our reputation to go down the drain. He is only suspicious of Chang tribe having a traitor, but he does not know who."
"Liu alliance leader does want to recruit Chang Shan Yin, he is Wolf King after all, an enslavement path master, any alliance would welcome him and get his assistance. But Lord Liu Wen Wu is not a normal person, he knows clearly in his heart that there is little hope of getting the Wolf King to come over, his greatest intention is to sow discord and waver the Wolf King's fighting spirit."
"Think about it, Chang Shan Yin does not know about Chang Ji You's true identity, he thinks this is his son. As a father, what would he be thinking? Blood is thicker than water, when Chang Shan Yin thinks about Chang Ji You being killed by his wolf group, would he go all out in the upcoming battle?"
"Is that so..." Ni Xue Tong heard this and calmed down.
"Alright, stop worrying, I am here." Chang Biao patted Ni Xue Tong's back with an affectionate gaze.
The tent was filled with the warmth of love.
But this kind of atmosphere, how long would it last?
Neither Chang Biao nor Ni Xue Tong had any confidence in this.
Whoosh!
A person broke the large lizard house Gu's window and crashed in.
Cunning Gentleman Sun Shi Han sprawled on the ground, his face was bruised as he shouted loudly with a fearful and vicious expression: "Wolf King attacked, Wolf King attacked me! He is revolting, he is murdering us, help, save me!"
Sun Shi Han was a popular person near Hei Lou Lan, his shouts quickly attracted many Gu Masters.
Fang Yuan snorted, jumping out of the window and giving Sun Shi Han another kick.
Sun Shi Han did not dare to activate his Gu worm, he could only evade. @@novelbin@@
But Fang Yuan changed his attack just in time, sweeping with his right fist and slamming into Sun Shi Han's nose.
Sun Shi Han groaned, just as he got up from the ground, he fell again. His entire face was full of blood, his nose bridge was broken and two of his front teeth fell out, he was in a pathetic state.
But the Gu Masters who came did not do anything, they breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Be it Fang Yuan or Sun Shi Han, they did not use their Gu worms. This was not breaking the rules, it was merely a small scuffle.
When people interacted, there was bound to be conflict. As arguments occur, it was normal to get physical. As long as Gu worms were not used to fight, the poison vow would not be violated.
"Chang Shan Yin, you are too arrogant! Your wife and children are at the enemy's camp, I am only reminding you out of kindness, you actually got furious and beat me! You are definitely guilty!" Sun Shi Han crawled up, shouting with his shrill voice.
The words caused the surrounding Gu Masters to talk among themselves. Chang tribe and Chang Shan Yin's relationship was known to all. These days, Hei tribe army had been talking about it.
Seeing Sun Shi Han's smug and vicious gaze, Fang Yuan laughed in disdain, he did not say a thing, but instead, responded with his fist.
Bam bam bam!
Fang Yuan's attacks were full of strength, although Sun Shi Han had some strength path foundation, how could it compare to Fang Yuan's immense investment in the strength path?
After several moves, he was beaten on the floor again, lying there as he was punched and kicked.
"Wolf King is amazing, although he is an enslavement path master, his strength path foundation is very strong." Everyone was shocked.
"Great fight, I had wanted to thrash this scoundrel Cunning Gentleman long ago." Some of the army's higher-ups smirked.
"Chang Shan Yin, you think I am easy to bully!" Sun Shi Han was thrashed until his body felt pain all over, his head was in a daze as his heart was filled with rage and humiliation.
"You still have the strength to speak." Fang Yuan snorted as he unleashed another round of punches.
Sun Shi Han was beaten to a pulp, he vomited blood as his front teeth all fell off, even the teeth at the back of his mouth were shaking.
"Wolf King is so ruthless..."
"Sun Shi Han is a rank four expert after all, to think he was beaten defenseless, what a weakling."
"Stupid! He made a poison vow and could not use Gu worms, in terms of close combat, Wolf King is an enslavement path master, he would definitely be suppressed by Sun Shi Han."
The discussions became louder, be it Chang Shan Yin or Sun Shi Han, they were people with great authority. Right now they were brawling it out, such a scene was rare, everyone was watching with bright eyes.
Sun Shi Han heard the comments and felt humiliated, he almost gritted his teeth off.
Although he barely had any left.
He wanted to resist, but neither his strength nor moves were Fang Yuan's match, he could not take a thrashing.
"Endure, I must endure! If I use a Gu, I would truly lose. I need to wait for alliance leader to come and uphold justice for me, Chang Shan Yin will get it!!" Sun Shi Han screamed in his heart.
"Alliance leader is here!"
"Greetings to lord alliance leader!!"
The surrounding people went into chaos as they quickly gave way.
Hei Lou Lan, Hao Ji Liu and others came to the area. Seeing this, Hei Lou Lan frowned as he asked Fang Yuan coldly: "What is going on?"
Sun Shi Han's body shuddered, using a mystical source of strength, he struggled as he crawled up and shouted: "Alliance leader, please seek justice for me..."
Plop.
Before he finished, Fang Yuan stepped on his head as he used great force, causing Sun Shi Han's entire face to sink into the soil.
Hei Lou Lan shouted loudly: "Stop it! Wolf King, what are you doing?!"
"H... he iz revulting! He ish revorting..." Sun Shi Han shouted loudly, his mouth was filled with soil as he spoke unclearly.
Fang Yuan sneered, exerting strength and stepping three times, burying Sun Shi Han's voice in the soil. Sun Shi Han's nose and mouth were blocked, his head also suffered a great hit, he felt dizzy and suffocation, his limbs struggled wildly but he could do nothing against Fang Yuan's strength.
Hei Lou Lan's face turned pitch black like charcoal.
Fang Yuan's gaze was like a dagger, staring coldly at him and the Gu Masters behind him: "Can't you all see what I am doing? I am thrashing him."
Hei Lou Lan stared at Fang Yuan angrily, shouting: "Wolf King, give me a clear explanation, why did you beat him up?! Are you really trying to rebel?"
Fang Yuan laughed in disdain, saying slowly: "No need to be angry Hei tribe leader, if I wanted to rebel, why would I need to make such a din?"
Saying so, he let go of Sun Shi Han.
Sun Shi Han lost the pressure and bounced up, desperately gasping for air like he was suffocating.
But Fang Yuan stepped again, this time, on his right cheek.
Sun Shi Han used both his hands to pull Fang Yuan's feet, but he was already weak and out of energy. Just like this, he was stepped on the face by someone in public, his reputation was ruined.
Fang Yuan said slowly and casually: "Although I have not thought of rebelling, I do not want any schemes or plots to fall on my wife and children. During the battle, I will do my part and fight with my full strength. By then, if they die, that would be their honor to die on the battlefield. Since I, Wolf King, have joined the Hei army, I would not change my stance just because of relationships. However..."
Saying so, he raised his head as he laughed arrogantly: "It is your own business to be suspicious, that has nothing to do with me. All the mutated beast groups that I want are exchanged using my battle merit, this is a fair trade. I have never owed you anything. Hei tribe leader, if you are suspicious of me, you can take away the mutated beast wolf groups and not let me control them. In the future battle, I swear in the name of the Wolf King, I will still go all-out."
"You..." Hei Lou Lan was furious.
Fang Yuan ignored his threat, and in fact, threatened him instead.
Being suspicious is your problem, you can keep the mutated wolves to yourselves. If we lose the battle, that will be your responsibility.
Can Hei Lou Lan not give them to him?
He had the great strength true martial physique, even if he used dark limit Immortal Gu, he was starting to feel the inability to suppress it. He needed a strength path Immortal Gu to advance to Gu Immortal realm.
However, Wolf King created a din and made everyone know about this. If he did not give him the mutated beast group, what would the army think of him? They would think that Hei Lou Lan refused to utilize Wolf King despite him being here. Like the saying goes, a man being used cannot be suspected while a suspected man cannot be used , if he loses the battle, everyone would begrudge Hei Lou Lan.
"Good, you are amazing Wolf King." Hei Lou Lan's gaze was cold, he laughed out of anger: "Of course I know the Wolf King's loyalty, but why did you beat up Sun Shi Han? He is your alliance mate, the enemy is before us, yet you engage in internal scuffle, what are you trying to do?"
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan shrugged: "This is my fault, because this Sun Shi Han looks way too ugly, he made my heart feel bad. Thus, I thrashed him and adjusted his appearance for him, as expected, he looks much better now. This was my personal action, I will take responsibility for it. According to the rules, I have to compensate Sun Shi Han ten thousand battle merits, no worries, I will compensate him!"
Sun Shi Han heard this and his anger rushed to his brain, he vomited out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The words made all the Gu Master experts present unable to hold in their laughter.
It was too satisfying!
There were many who were unhappy with this scoundrel Sun Shi Han.
Fang Yuan's assault was truly soothing their hearts.
Even Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze towards Fang Yuan turned to admiration. He felt that although this Chang Shan Yin was ruthless, he did not strike at his family, but still maintained his righteousness and standpoint, he had his limits and was a true man.
Hei Lou Lan's expression turned even darker.
Sun Shi Han was his man, Fang Yuan beating him up in public was also slapping Hei Lou Lan's face.
Fang Yuan said it easily, but his battle merits were still in the negative!
But what could Hei Lou Lan do?
To deal with Liu tribe army, he needed to rely on the Wolf King's strength!
Threatening the Wolf King was to make him carry the sin of killing his own tribesmen, so that his reputation would be affected, allowing Hei Lou Lan to control him more easily.
But since threats had no effect, Hei Lou Lan only had one option left, that was to comply.
-x-X-x-
The mornings of northern plains were getting colder.
White frost covered the grassland, and people blew out vapor when they breathed.
The two armies, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, were confronting each other.
Banners fluttered in the sky and the troops formation were as dense as forests.
Liu tribe and Hei tribe had rested and reorganized for over a dozen days after the first battle before sending the war letter, and today, they both came out to battle once again.
"Second brother, you went out the previous time, it is my turn now!" Mo Shi Kuang restlessly shouted and impatiently charged towards the front.
Mo Shi Kuang's white hair fluttered, his black skin and panther-like eyes shone, his momentum was thunderous as he shouted: "Who seeks death?"
"This black barbarian again!" Hei tribe's higher-ups felt anger and fear at the sight of Mo Shi Kuang. In the battle before, many rank four Gu Masters had lost their lives at Mo Shi Kuang's hands. Mo Shi Kuang's brutal fighting style caused people to be fearful.
Hei Lou Lan scoffed, his expression much relaxed than before. He looked at the two new faces in the main tent: "Who among you would like to go first?"
These two were Gao Yang and Zhu Zai, rank four peak stage Gu Masters, their name of demonic path's twin demons was spread far and wide.
In their early days, demonic path's twin demons had received Tai Bai Yun Sheng's grace and swore to repay him. Not long ago, Tai Bai Yun Sheng used a letter Gu to try calling them. And a few days ago, they took the initiative to side with Hei tribe army.
The addition of the two of them immediately filled the gap between Hei tribe and Liu tribe army and allowed Hei tribe's higher ranked strength to be free from the previous strained circumstances.
Demonic path's twin demons were inseparable, but the rule of the challenge was that every side could only send one person to battle.
The two glanced at each other, already having discussed according to the intel Hei tribe had given them. Zhu Zai stood up and slightly bowed: "I shall go."
Hei Lou Lan nodded.
Mo Shi Kuang stared at Zhu Zai's arrival, revealing a happy expression.
"A rank four peak stage, good, good! But you don't look that impressive, I hope you won't go down with just a few punches."
Zhu Zai snorted and activated a Gu, his body then rapidly charged forward like an artillery shell.
Mo Shi Kuang stood at the spot while licking his dried lips, prepared to receive the attack.
BOOM!
Zhu Zai ruthlessly smashed against Mo Shi Kuang, creating an explosive sound like that of crackling thunder. The berserk collision of strength resulted in Zhu Zai retreating several steps while Mo Shi Kuang was directly sent flying.
"Third brother, be careful. This person is Zhu Zai of the demonic path's twin demons, he cultivates strength path!" Liu Wen Wu reminded in a loud voice from the main tent.
"Hahaha, strength path Gu Master? Great! I like fighting with such exciting opponents!" Mo Shi Kuang spurted out blood from the injury. He jumped up from the ground, the injury making him more excited instead.
A crazed look appeared on his coal-like inky black skin, a loud sound echoed, his aura started surging and Mo Shi Kuang charged towards Zhu Zai.
"Courting death!" Zhu Zai smiled sinisterly as he pounced forward as well.
BOOM BOOM BOOM.
The two sides engaged in close combat, their attacks were so fierce and heavy that the collision produced a series of explosive sounds. Mo Shi Kuang was a qi path Gu Master and was using his weakness to fight the enemy's strong point, but he unexpectedly was not in a disadvantage while fighting such an intense battle with the strength path Gu Master Zhu Zai!
"Strange, could it be that this Mo Shi Kuang cultivates both qi and strength path?" Hei tribe camp was in a state of shock.
"It is not like that, Mo Shi Kuang looks like he is fighting close combat, but in truth, his punches are not really landing physically, instead he has a translucent qi armor over his body which he explodes by using qi explosion Gu at the same time, creating an explosive strength comparable to strength path." Cunning Gentleman Sun Shi Han said in a solemn voice.
He was specialized in investigating and with careful observation, he managed to see through the trick Mo Shi Kuang was playing.
By synergizing with qi explosion Gu, qi armor Gu became a weapon that could both attack and defend. Gu Masters relied on their wits to use Gu. Often, the coordination of different Gu worms could form a complementing effect.
"This Mo Shi Kuang is really fierce, this is the first time I saw someone actually suppressing brother Zhu Zai head on!" Gao Yang's expression was solemn, he had been observing the battle since the start.
He was extremely familiar with Zhu Zai and understood Zhu Zai was already using almost all his strength, but the enemy, however, was moving so easily and was clearly much relaxed.
Suddenly, the mad growl of a boar exploded in the air.
The beast phantom of a grand emperor boar that was as large as an elephant and had awe-inspiring might, appeared in the air.
Grand emperor boar was a mutated boar, its strength could not be looked down on.
After dozen or so moves, Zhu Zai finally unleashed a beast phantom. Instantly, his offensive power rose sharply and Mo Shi Kuang was caught unprepared as the huge strength struck him and sent him rolling on the ground.
Zhu Zai took the chance to chase him and activated his trump card.
The grand emperor boar phantom gradually disappeared from the air before condensing again. Moreover, another two grand emperor boar phantoms also appeared.
Three grand emperor boar strength!
BOOM!
The enormous strength burst out, causing Zhu Zai's every punch to create sonic booms.
Mo Shi Kuang felt a sense of crisis and laughed madly: "Interesting! Come, I will show you my true strength!"
He activated his movement Gu and swiftly flew up, easily dodging the attack of Zhu Zai's three boar strength.
Zhu Zai's punch landed on the ground, creating a huge crater with stones and mud flying everywhere.
Mo Shi Kuang's white hair fluttered in the air as he hovered in the air. He then sent punches after punches towards Zhu Zai.
ORAORAORA...
Fist qi smashed down like a meteor rain.
Zhu Zai kept on dodging while also striking back and destroying these fist qi. But soon after, he was falling into a disadvantage.
Facing a qi path opponent, Zhu Zai's strength path's most common weakness started becoming obvious. He was not like Fang Yuan who had strength qi Gu. Zhu Zai lacked long range attacking methods, and Mo Shi Kuang was able to quickly suppress him after changing his battle tactics.
"Not good, brother Zhu Zai won't be able to hold on if he keeps on defending!" Gao Yang knew Zhu Zai's strengths and weaknesses, and was very anxious at this scene as he immediately asked to be sent to battle.
Hei Lou Lan also saw the unfavorable situation and immediately agreed.
"A mere variant human, I will teach you a lesson!" Gao Yang softly shouted, mist started curling around him before condensing into a ribbon that pushed him forward.
"Don't even think of using numbers as an advantage!" Ouyang Bi Sang snorted and moved almost at the same time. His speed was very fast, intercepting Gao Yang midway.
Gao Yang was concerned about Zhu Zai and did not even have any thoughts of fighting Ouyang Bi Sang as he activated cloud rope Gu from a distance.
Milky white mist surged around Ouyang Bi Sang before condensing into a rope which firmly bound him.
Gao Yang was specialized in defense and pinning down enemies, while Zhu Zai was specialized in attacking and investigation; the cooperation between the two complemented each other very well.
Ouyang Bi Sang struggled, the cloud rope shook and broke before condensing again, and actually had the signs of multiplying.
Ouyang Bi Sang was furious as he started transferring his primeval essence into asura zombie Gu in his aperture and transforming into a zombie.
With the transformation into asura zombie, his defense and strength surged rapidly.
Ouyang Bi Sang growled and completely broke the cloud rope with three times the strength. He stamped his foot and flew to the air, blocking Gao Yang again.
Asura zombie was one of the five great flying zombie Gu, it naturally had the ability to fly.
Gao Yang simply did not want to tangle with Ouyang Bi Sang; his brows furrowed deeply as he looked at Ouyang Bi Sang blocking him again, and knew the other wanted to provide time for Mo Shi Kuang to kill Zhu Zai. At this thought, he directly activated his trump card Gu. @@novelbin@@
Rank five, treacherous cloud wave Gu!
His primeval sea rapidly fell down, almost lowering by half.
A grey cloud that was as big as a carriage surged with dark red light floating inside, and rapidly flew towards Ouyang Bi Sang.
Ouyang Bi Sang moved around and dodged few times, but this cloud followed him like a shadow and finally covered him.
The instant Ouyang Bi Sang was struck by treacherous cloud wave Gu, he felt his sense of direction was lost, his mind seemed to work extremely slowly and his thoughts were slowed down by many times!
He could not differentiate which way was east and which was west and even lost the sense of up and down, left and right. For a moment, as he was covered in the grey cloud, he was like a headless fly that was tossing around in the sky.
"Mo Shi Kuang, don't be too rampant!" Gao Yang left Ouyang Bi Sang and finally was able to reinforce Zhu Zai in time.
The two combined their strength, and with their deep tacit-understanding, even Mo Shi Kuang who was fierce and fearless was being gradually suppressed.
But the three had exchanged no more than over twenty moves when they heard Ouyang Bi Sang's shout: "Asura transformation!"
Instantly, six thick arms which looked like they were casted in bronze stretched out through the grey cloud.
From outside, one could vaguely see the figure, inside the grey cloud, inflating like a balloon.
Ouyang Bi Sang used his killer move, his battle strength exploding by several times. His body shook, shaking the dim and lightless grey cloud into dispersing!
"You despicable scoundrels, die!" Ouyang Bi Sang was thoroughly furious as he flew into the air and attacked Gao Yang and Zhu Zai with Mo Shi Kuang.
With such an expert joining the battle, Zhu Zai and Gao Yang were forced to passively defend; the situation had dramatically turned into that of a crisis.
"Alliance leader, Gao Yang and Zhu Zai are experts we must have, we cannot let them die like this!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng saw the situation had turned bad and immediately spoke up.
"Sir's words are reasonable!" Hei Lou Lan was solemn, and suddenly stood up from his seat.
Although Gao Yang and Zhu Zai had joined them, Hei tribe was still weaker than Liu tribe in terms of higher ranked strength. Hei Lou Lan waved his hand, and just like what he saw Fang Yuan doing, sent the order for an all-out war!
The command was sent and the army began to move.
Liu Wen Wu sneered: "You could not win in experts challenge and now come to gang up. Good, I will accompany you!"
Buggles rang and war drums shook the battlefield; Liu tribe army also moved out.
Two sides, both with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, surged towards the other like a torrent.
The distance between the two army was quickly cut down, and when they were few hundred steps afar, Gu Masters began to attack almost at the same time. For a moment, large numbers of pill fire, icicles, bone spears and wind blades shot towards the enemies. Light armors, bone shields, water barriers and all kinds of defensive abilities were also activated. The originally simple scene had turned into a gorgeous painting of all colors.
BOOM BOOM BOOM...
The attacks from both sides landed on each other almost at the same time.
Like a rainstorm falling down on the lake, ripples started spreading. Only a few Gu Masters with bad luck died or were heavily injured in the intense storm of attack. Most of the Gu Masters continued to attack till the army of the both sides collided. Like the collision of two torrents, blood splattered and chaos descended.
-x-X-x-
At once, even Gao Yang, Zhu Zai, Mo Shi Kuang, and Ouyang Bi Sang's battles were interrupted by the huge influx of people.
The two armies intertwined completely, as fighting sounds erupted and filled the heavens.
Waterfall Gu!
In the chaotic battle, Water Demon Hao Ji Liu pushed with his palms as a great current burst forth, sweeping the Gu Masters in front of him irregardless of alliance.
Great tornado Gu!
A large dark-green tornado over tens of meters tall swept the battlefield. Everywhere it went, humans and beasts flew into the air as they lost their balance.
The tornado dispersed and revealed Chang Biao within.
He was floating in the air with his green robe, he had an overwhelming aura.
He and Hao Ji Liu were not far away, naturally, the two rank four experts made eye contact with each other.
The next moment, there were no trash talks, they fought immediately.
...
A flash of golden lightning pierced the battlefield, all the Hei tribe Gu Masters in its path lost their lives.
The golden light dispersed, and a stoic man with broad shoulders and thin waist appeared, it was Pei Yan Fei!
"Chang Shan Yin, today, I will behead you and take revenge for what happened back then! Eh?" Pei Yan Fei was overflowing with battle intent, fire was burning within him when suddenly, his gaze concentrated and he activated his defensive Gu in time.
Behind him, a lump of shadow exploded.
The shadow was deep and profound, turning into multiple sword shadows as it attacked his back, causing Pei Yan Fei to sway violently.
"It's you, Shadow Sword Expert!" Pei Yan Fei stabilized his footing as he looked at the Gu Master who attacked him, his gaze becoming serious.
Bian Si Xuan who had a black veil covering her face laughed: "Lord Pei Yan Fei is too courteous."
She spoke very respectfully, but her actions were not. The black shadow swords appeared again like a windmill, engulfing Pei Yan Fei.
"Then I shall kill you first!" Pei Yan Fei laughed loudly as he charged forward.
...
"Our battle has not ended, where are you two going?" Ouyang Bi Sang, Mo Shi Kuang came before the demonic path twin demons.
Gao Yang and Zhu Zai felt bitter, they could only continue and engage in battle with Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang.
As the Gu Master experts continued fighting, their battle rings formed into distinct areas, and the chaotic battlefield gradually became clear.
Tens of large battle rings were filled with rank four to five experts. Outside the large rings, there were small battle rings with rank three Gu Masters as the main strength.
Outside the small rings, low rank Gu Masters form into groups as they fought together in teams.
As the main commander, Hei Lou Lan and Liu Wen Wu were sitting in their main tents, observing the battle situation. At times, they gave orders and dispatched their elite troops to areas of the battlefield to stabilize the situation or to pursue their advantage.
The giant battlefield soon gave off the thick scent of blood. Gu Masters continued to fall, some were turned into icicles, while others were charred, some were torn to pieces while others were poisoned to death.
The clean grassland became a weird monster, devouring fresh blood and life every minute and second.
The battle was so intense, after a while, Hei Lou Lan and Liu Wen Wu were both breaking out in cold sweat.
Large numbers of casualties made their hearts turn cold. The intensity of battle made people's hearts go numb.
To maintain the situation, the two quickly dispatched their trump cards, the elite troops. Only the black banner elite troops and grand white elite were left to control the area.
As time flowed, deaths and injuries became less, after all, the explosive strength only appeared at the start, by now, Gu Masters experienced intense primeval essence expenditure and were starting to reduce their usage, this way, the battle intensity started to decrease.
The battle entered a stalemate.
The two armies were like two giants competing at equal strength. Either side could snowball from a tiny advantage, until they emerged victorious, and become the winner of the battlefield.
"Our higher level battle strength are doing well. Wolf King, now that the rank five lurking soul coat Gu is in your hands, together with the mutated beast wolf group, the rest will be up to you." Hei Lou Lan transmitted with his Gu worm.
At the start of the battle, Fang Yuan was already not in the main tent, but lurking somewhere on the battlefield. His exact location was not known by Hei Lou Lan either.
Fang Yuan received Hei Lou Lan's words, but he did not reply. He mobilized the wolf group and started to sprint in two directions.
Liu tribe Gu Masters subconsciously chased after them, but this way, the tight formation was loosened.
Howl!
A group of over eight hundred mutated beast wolf group, comprising white-eyes wolves, blood forest wolves, frenzy wolves, shark fin wolves. The wolf group was like a sharp arrow, shooting out and piercing towards Liu tribe's main camp.
Fang Yuan's attack was a fatal blow, it was vicious and cruel, striking at the enemy's vital points.
"A group of mutated beasts reinforcement as expected huh..." Liu Wen Wu looked at the charging wolves that disrupted his formation, large numbers of Gu Masters lost their lives to the wolves as he frowned deeply.
Hei tribe's Gu Immortal supplying mutated wolves was information easy to obtain, it was no secret.
Liu Wen Wu was unfazed, he had Liu tribe's Gu Immortals backing him as well, along with the entire Liu tribe. He had his ways of dealing with this mutated beast wolf group.
"Bei Cao Chuan, it is time to strike." Liu Wen Wu instructed the Gu Master beside him.
Bei Cao Chuan was expressionless, standing up from his seat as he frowned: "I can only last for seven minutes."
Liu Wen Wu nodded:" No worry, go ahead."
Bei Cao Chuan walked out of the main tent, his primeval essence rapidly expending as he activated the Gu worm that he had obtained not long ago.
The refreshing aura of grass and wood spread from his body, for a radius of a hundred li.
All the grass within the range of this aura grew wildly, in a few breath's time, they grew taller than a man's height. The large blades of grass intertwined, forming rank two grass soldier puppets.
Soon, there were a thousand grass soldier puppets.
Bei Cao Chuan activated his Gu worm, as a jade colored light rained down. The grass puppets were bathed in the green rain water, as a portion of them advanced to rank three rattan shell grass soldiers. At the same time, the rank two grass puppets were still growing.
Bei Cao Chuan activated his Gu worm again, as an orange wind blew on the grassland. As the wind blew, a portion of the rattan shell grass soldiers advanced into the rank four grass sword elite soldiers!
The empty central camp quickly was filled with an army of grass soldiers. At once, it became the most densely packed area in the battlefield.
The charging mutated wolf group was obstructed by these obstacles.
Fang Yuan frowned, he manipulated wholeheartedly. He hid on the back of the blood forest wolf, his body cloaked in the rank five lurking soul coat Gu, it was like a green-grey wolf skin cape.
The lurking soul coat Gu was indeed amazing, it concealed Fang Yuan's soul and allowed him to strike with his full strength.
But at this time, Fang Yuan felt that he was battling against an enslavement path master.
Bei Cao Chuan manipulated the grass soldier army as tears overflowed his face.
He now had two souls in one body, in order to defeat Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, Bei tribe's elder Bei Cao Sheng sacrificed himself and entrusted his soul to Bei Cao Chuan. Using Liu Wen Wu's Gu worm, Bei Cao Chuan absorbed the power of Bei Cao Sheng's soul, causing him to gain the attainment of an enslavement path master within this short period of time.
Bei Cao Chuan was originally a rank four enslavement path Gu Master, he was also Bei tribe leader, he had the resources of a clan, his soul foundation was not weak. With Bei Cao Sheng's help, he was like a tiger with wings, his enslavement path battle strength surged.
Except that this move had huge repercussions. Because he used another person's soul, Bei Cao Chuan's soul will be impure and he would have memory lapses, he would need to expend huge amounts of spirit and resources, using specialized soul path Gu worms to nourish his soul and heal this problem.
But now, in order to defeat Hei tribe army and take revenge, Bei Cao Chuan could not care less about the aftermath.
Hei tribe had invited Gao Yang and Zhu Zai to mend the gap of their higher level battle strength. And Liu tribe thought of this method to replenish their lower level battle strength, raising Bei Cao Chuan's strength to enslavement path master so that he could restrict Fang Yuan.
At once, Fang Yuan's mutated beast wolf group was barely resisted by the grass soldier army.
"We blocked it? Hahah! Hei Lou Lan, you are bound to lose!" Liu Wen Wu saw this and the worry in his heart vanished, he laughed heartily as his voice resounded the battlefield.
"Damn it..." Hei Lou Lan clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. The situation was terrible, Gao Yang and Zhu Zai were in great danger, and the mutated wolf group that he had placed his hope on was restricted at the enemy's camp, unable to progress!
Without a choice, he had to mobilize the black banner troops.
"Brothers, it is finally time for us black banner to strike!" Black banner commander received this order and shouted excitedly.
Black banner troop was nurtured by Hei tribe for a long time, the trump card made from expending huge amounts of resources. Once they were deployed, they were like a black blade that stabbed into the battlefield, easily slicing it like tofu.
The entire black banner troop was reinforced by battle will Gu, they were brave and peerless, not afraid of death. They could display 120% of their original strength!
"Can't control it anymore huh?" Liu Wen Wu's eyes shone brilliantly, staring at the black banner troop's movements.
When he saw the black banner troop making a curve around the battlefield, towards his central camp, he instantly understood Hei Lou Lan's intention.
"So you are trying to stake it all on this, gathering your advantage and piercing the grass soldier army. Hmph, Bei Cao Chuan had such difficulty resisting Chang Shan Yin, if the black banner troops appeared, he would definitely fall. By then, Hei tribe would have a mild advantage and this crucial beast group would be free to attack."
Thinking so, Liu Wen Wu laughed arrogantly: "Your Hei tribe has black banner troops, renowned in northern plains. My Liu tribe also has the grand white troops, of similar magnitude of fame. Black banner and grand white's competition had been ongoing for hundred of years, let's see who wins today."
Under his command, the grand white troops unleashed one of their three killer moves directly.
The grand white troops exploded with a piercing white light.
The white light formed into a giant light pillar that pierced into the heavens.
The light pillar rose up, but after an instant, it descended from the sky, shooting at the area that the black banner troops were advancing towards. The three black banner commanders saw this familiar killer move and ordered their troops to stay on guard.
The light pillar dispersed and the grand white troops appeared with a tight formation.
Grand white troops were foot soldiers, while black banner troops rode battle horses. But in terms of mobility, grand white troops were superior, it was none other than the ability of this killer move!
-x-X-x-
Black banner troops and grand white troops started to fight, ever since they were created, they were opposing forces that had contested for hundreds of years, having victories and losses on both sides. At this moment, the two troops engaged in battle and unleashed their killer moves, having no clear advantage on each side.
Seeing his final trump card engaged in a deadlock, Hei Lou Lan's expression turned pitch black.
"Hehehe." Liu Wen Wu laughed heartily, feeling great pleasure, his opponent was at his wit's end, but he was in the same situation.
However, the grass soldier army could still blok the mutated beast wolf group for some time. As for Hei tribe's higher level battle force, they had already shown signs of collapsing, especially Gao Yang and Zhu Zai against Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang, their battle was very obviously showing signs of a victor emerging.
Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang, although they were not skilled at cooperating, they had greater individual strength than their opponents.
If Gao Yang and Zhu Zai were fighting two against one, using their great chemistry, they could have a mild advantage. But now, they could only be suppressed, defending desperately as they were in a passive situation.
Anyone could tell that Gao Yang and Zhu Zai were going to fail very soon. Once they lose, Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang would be like tigers out of a cage, they would start to reinforce other battles.
That way, their mild advantage will snowball and accumulate, allowing the entire battle to sway in his favor.
Once Liu tribe army gains the advantage, Hei tribe without any more backup would have no way of winning, they would only be able to watch their opponent grow stronger as they fall into a worse situation.
Eventually, the other side will turn advantage into victory, and Hei tribe army would crumble!
Hei Lou Lan could see the problem now, he was sweating profusely. He was all alone in the main tent, at this point, he could only rely on his own strength!
His body vanished in the main tent, appeared in the air above the grass soldier army.
He had the intention of killing Bei Cao Chuan, since Bei Cao Chuan did not have lurking soul coat Gu, he was easy to distinguish, once he is killed, the grass soldier army would crumble.
That way, this battle would go back into a double offense situation, at the end, it would be like the first battle, they would have to regroup and retreat.
Killer move — Dark Vortex!
Hei Lou Lan had just activated his killer move, when a white light appeared before him, showing Liu Wen Wu's body.
Hei Lou Lan was a dark path rank five, while Liu Wen Wu was a light path rank five, the two had engaged in combat for many times without a clear victor. @@novelbin@@
But this time, the gentleman-like Liu Wen Wu showed a mild smile of a victor: "Brother Lou Lan, today's battle depends on a single ray of light. My grass soldier army is going to fall soon, but your higher level battle strength will falter more quickly. What a pity, our armies have very close battle strength, we are nearly evenly matched."
"You are courting death!" Hei Lou Lan shouted furiously, growling and charging at Liu Wen Wu.
The two fought as they moved around, exploding with thunderous sounds or brilliant lights.
"Strange, in my previous life, Hei tribe defeated Liu tribe, but it seems that Liu tribe has the advantage now. Was it because of me that some weird changes occurred?" Fang Yuan hid at a corner as he secretly observed.
He was an enslavement-strength dual cultivator, he had not displayed his full strength yet.
In fact, he had not even displayed his full enslavement path abilities yet.
At this moment, the grass soldier army was barely holding on, he just had to show up and unleash the wolf howl Gu and rank five amplify effect Gu to instantly defeat Bei Cao Chuan.
But Fang Yuan did not move, he chose to observe.
His attention was on Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang.
Once he showed up, and activated wolf howl Gu and rank five amplify effect Gu, there was a huge possibility that the two of them would come after him.
Truthfully speaking, Fang Yuan was already accomplished in strength path, he was not afraid of fighting Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang together in close combat.
But...
"My vision cannot be limited to this battle. The fight for the Imperial Court is a competition among super tribes, a game manipulated by Gu Immortals. Once I expose my full strength, even if we win this battle, the other party will definitely target me when they get reinforced by their Gu Immortal. By then, I would have no more hidden trump cards left, my grasp over this situation would fall to rock bottom."
Fang Yuan's mind was on the Imperial Court, he kept calm at all times and was not disturbed by the dangerous situation ahead of him.
"In my previous life, how did Hei tribe defeat Liu tribe? Although the battle is extremely tense now, both sides had not used their trump cards yet. At least I know that Tai Bai Yun Sheng has a rank five Gu 'man as before'. The less battle strength I expose, the better it is for me. If I strike, it has to be a fatal blow! Now is not the time yet..."
Fang Yuan's heart was calm, despite this intense battlefield that was filled with corpses and rivers of blood.
In his eyes, these casualties were just numbers.
In this battle, many people screamed at the deaths of their friends and family, many people shouted in joy after killing a strong foe, some Gu Masters ran away under the fear of death. Some Gu Masters were filled with ambition, wanting to be a person of higher status.
Human emotions became riled up in such moments of life and death, they were frenzied, crazy, while arrogant and unrestrained.
Observing the ruthless expressions of the people around, hearing their screaming and shouting, Fang Yuan felt a great sense of serenity and peace.
His heart was firm like an ancient abyss, there were no ripples on the surface.
Fight, kill, a person is born to engage in battle.
Win, lose, continue walking on your path, by stepping on other people's corpses.
Let blood boil, let sweat flow, the best moment of life is now...
"Take this, this is my killer move — World Devouring Qi!" In the battlefield, an explosive and thunderous shout burst out.
His voice attracted numerous gazes as everyone subconsciously focused on it.
"Oh no, let's go!" An intense sense of danger assaulted him as Gao Yang shouted, activating his Gu worm and wanting to escape, but the surrounding air was as dense as walls, he could barely move.
Mo Shi Kuang floated in the air, opening his hands as his ten fingers converged before his chest.
Gao Yang and Zhu Zai felt a despairing sense of pressure, squashing them from all directions. Their shocked expressions froze on their faces, the feeling of imminent death filled their hearts.
"Go!" Before the moment of death, Zhu Zai burst out the strength of three grand emperor boar, piercing a hole on the wall-like air.
"Brother!" Gao Yang felt his world spinning, when he reacted, he had already been tossed far away by Zhu Zai, away from the battlefield.
As for Zhu Zai, he was squeezed into meat paste by Mo Shi Kuang's killer move, through an intense and concentrated air pressure.
"Brother!!" Gao Yang shouted, his heart felt like it was pierced by daggers as tears flowed out of his eyes like a flood.
Mo Shi Kuang also vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Second brother, your killer move is not completed yet, don't activate it casually." Ouyang Bi Sang quickly hurried over and held him in the air.
Mo Shi Kuang vomited blood as he laughed: "What a great battle, I used it without thinking, hahaha..."
Ouyang Bi Sang shook his head: "Alright, let's continue killing that Gao Yang, after we resolve the problem here, we will reinforce the other battles!"
Liu Wen Wu who saw this laughed, he declared with overwhelming confidence: "This is the start of our Liu tribe army's consecutive victories! Brother Lou Lan, you have no way of winning already!"
"Is that so?" It was not Hei Lou Lan who replied him, but Tai Bai Yun Sheng who was at another battle ring.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng who had always been evading attacks suddenly burst out with great speed as he pulled some distance from his opponent, opening his palms and shooting out a silver beam.
The silver beam shone on Zhu Zai's flesh and blood that became meat paste.
Rank five — Man As Before!
In an instant, silver light shone brilliantly, making people close their eyes in response.
After the light faded, Zhu Zai reappeared on the battlefield, without any injuries on him, as his primeval sea level was also at its peak.
Under the effect of man as before, Zhu Zai returned to the state right before the battle!
The shocked expression not only appeared on multiple Gu Masters' faces, even Liu Wen Wu, Mo Shi Kuang, and Ouyang Bi Sang had the same expression.
Man as before Gu had an incredible healing effect that made almost everyone feel shocked and speechless!
Man as before Gu, time path healing Gu, could return a target to his condition at a point in time.
"Good, what a great healing Gu!" Hei Lou Lan laughed heartily, he did not expect Tai Bai Yun Sheng to be concealing such a strong trump card. As long as they had this, Hei tribe's higher level battle could drag on for a long time.
"Good, now is the time!" Fang Yuan's eyes shone with brilliance as he activated rank four eagle rise Gu, flying up into the sky.
Rank five amplify effect Gu and rank four wolf howl Gu!
Fang Yuan opened his mouth and howled, as his voice spread far and wide.
Under the effect of the wolf howl Gu, all his mutated beasts' bodies expanded, as their eyes turned bright red, their battle strength grew by five times!
"Go." Fang Yuan floated in the air, staring at the battlefield as he muttered.
The wolf tide burst out, like a tsunami out of nowhere!
"Damn it, I can't hold on!" Bei Cao Chuan was at his wit's end, he resisted desperately, but the grass soldier army was like a thin piece of paper under the wolf tide, it was torn to shreds without even lasting for a few breath's time.
Bei Cao Chuan did not even manage to escape before a frenzy wolf pounced on him and tore his armor with its sharp teeth, before biting his throat.
Bei Cao Chuan resisted with all his strength, sending this frenzy wolf flying, just as he was about to cover his neck and get up, three white-eyes wolves came and after a struggle, he was a corpse torn into several pieces.
The grass soldier army went down, Fang Yuan thus manipulated the wolf group and attacked grand white troops.
Grand white troops were fighting with black banner troops, they were stuck in a stalemate as they exchanged blows. Now that the mutated beast wolf group attacked them from behind, they suffered heavy injuries.
"Hahaha, Liu Wen Wu, it seems that I have the last laugh!" The battle turned in such a sudden direction, Hei Lou Lan was overjoyed and surprised.
"No, I have not lost yet!" Liu Wen Wu's face was distorted as he shouted frantically, like a gambler who had gone crazy from losing. He turned into a white light, flying towards Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang.
"Second brother, third brother!" He shouted.
-x-X-x-
"We are here, big brother!" Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang shouted at the same time.
"Let them see the true strength of us three brothers!" Liu Wen Wu shouted, and without slowing down, directly smashed into Mo Shi Kuang and Ouyang Bi Sang.
The two laughed loudly, their body giving off green and grey light.
Green, grey and white, three lights collided. BOOM !. Light dispersed and on the spot appeared a human-shaped monster.
This monster had three heads and six arms. It was twenty feet tall with tight muscles and bronze skin.
The three heads had the appearance of Liu Wen Wu, Ouyang Bi Sang and Mo Shi Kuang.
"This....?!" Countless people looked on with wide eyes at this freakish scene.
"I will let you guys know, this is our three brothers' killer move — Three Heads Six Arms! Are you trembling in fear? Let out all your dread. This will be the last moment of your lives!"
The three heads spoke in unison.
"Hmph, shameless boasting!" Gao Yang snorted, activating his treacherous cloud wave Gu.
A grey cloud shot towards the three heads six arms giant, but before it even reached its target, Liu Wen Wu's eyes shot two light beams that pierced through the cloud.
BOOM!
With a sonic boom, the three heads six arms suddenly appeared above Gao Yang.
"So fast!" Gao Yang's pupils shrunk and from the battle experiences he had cultivated over a long period of time, he quickly activated his defense Gu.
The monster waved its two arms.
One arm pierced through the light barrier while another arm smashed Gao Yang's head like it smashed a watermelon.
Next moment, Gao Yang's headless corpse fell down from the sky.
"Brother!!!" Rage attacked Zhu Zai's heart and made him lose all reasoning, as he ferociously charged towards the monster.
"Muahahaha, the lamentation of ants." Mo Shi Kuang's head laughed loudly and lightly flicked his finger towards Zhu Zai.
BOOM!!!
Qi flow exploded and moved straight through the battlefield with formidable impact force, inflicting injuries for several thousands of steps.
Zhu Zai directly exploded from the attack, his blood and crushed bones flying in all directions. The Gu Masters who suffered the after-effects of the attack were all injured heavily.
"This power... it has increased by at least six times and the speed has increased by nine times at least! This three people combination, is it combining asura transformation, the attacking force of qi path and the effects of light path?" Fang Yuan had an intense urge to battle when he looked at this scene.
"I have all-out effort Gu, and by adding in rank five amplify effect Gu, I can burst out with five hundred jun of strength! I wonder who would win if I fight with this monster?" @@novelbin@@
But in the next moment, Fang Yuan suppressed his battle intent and flew down, again hiding among the mutated beast group.
Man as before Gu!
At this moment, two silver lights shone down; Zhu Zai and Gao Yang resurrected again, restored to their previous state!
"Old geezer!" The monster's six eyes were filled with icy glint, killing intent and battle intent, simultaneously charging towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng panickedly retreated; although he had man as before Gu, he could only use it on others and could not use it on himself.
"All those that are free, protect Tai Bai Yun Sheng!!" Hei Lou Lan hurried to reinforce while shouting to his army, realizing the crux of the battle.
"Who can stop me?" Ouyang Bi Sang's head loftily smiled.
Next instant, the monster turned into a ray of green light that shot towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng like lightning.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was hiding behind others, but no one was able to block the monster as it charged straight, sweeping everything on its path. Anyone that dared to block it, be it Gu Masters or beasts, would become pools of crushed flesh and bones.
"Benefactor, leave quickly!" Gao Yang and Zhu Zai rushed over, guarding Tai Bai Yun Sheng behind them.
"Cumbersome things." The monster waved its six arms so quick that one could only see their afterimage.
THUMP THUMP , Zhu Zai and Gao Yang were smashed again.
"Take my sole blade Gu!" Pan Ping hurried over and activated single blade Gu.
Sole blade Gu successfully activated this time and the monster's huge body slightly shook, a shallow wound appearing on its chest.
"A little interesting." The monster laughed coldly; the wound had completely recovered by the time he finished laughing. Afterwards, the monster let out a breath of turbid air.
The turbid air detonated and exploded Pan Ping into pieces.
"Tai Bai Yun Sheng, where are you going?" The monster howled with laughter, the voices of the three heads gradually becoming one.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng had not moved very far when the monster intercepted in front of him.
Swoosh!
Waterfall flowed in a torrent and Hao Ji Liu came riding it.
The monster pushed forward with all six hands and collapsed the water torrent; Hao Ji Liu screamed miserably and flew backwards in a faster speed than he came.
Seeing this scene, Bian Si Xuan who was charging forward immediately stopped, not daring to go forward.
Dark vortex!
Hei Lou Lan sped down from the sky, and the giant black sphere that was as large as a hill pressed down.
The monster roared, its six hands forming into a claw shape and slashing towards the distant black sphere.
Killer move — World Devouring Qi!
The air became as thick as a wall and solid as a mountain. Hei Lou Lan's face turned red and purple, but he was not able to continue forward.
Following after, air from all around surged and unexpectedly swallowed his killer move.
The killer move which Mo Shi Kuang could not carry out completely was suddenly perfected in the monster's hand.
Howl!
The mutated wolf group rushed over while Hei Lou Lan delayed the monster. In an instant, the mutated wolf group had surrounded the monster tightly.
A bloody battle broke out.
The mutated wolves which had a strength of rank four Gu Masters, fearlessly initiated a death charge at the monster.
"KILL KILL KILL!" The monster growled repeatedly as it turned into a berserk state and started fighting the mutated wolves.
His every movement carried his full power. Light path, qi path and transformation path Gu worms jointly attacked with deep tacit cooperation, as if the monster was a cultivator cultivating three paths!
The mutated wolves died one after another, but the monster's offensive was still as fierce as before.
"Lord alliance leader, let me lend you a hand!" At this moment, a Liu tribe Gu Master hurried over to assist.
But in the next moment, he was smashed apart alive by the monster which had lost its reason!
"Lord Liu Wen Wu has lost his mind!"
"He has become mad!!"
The battlefield was in an uproar and Liu tribe army's morale fell down sharply.
"My tribe has suffered tremendous losses, we have lost one-third of our Gu Masters, it is time to retreat."
"How can such an alliance leader be worth us giving up our lives?"
"Let's discuss after we retreat, the casualties have already reached a high level. Retreat now, don't care about violating the poison vow."
The battle had reached such a chaotic state that was beyond everyone's expectation. Deserters started to appear from both Hei and Liu tribe.
The black banner troops and grand white troops that had been managing the army were in an intense fight now, how could they have the energy to spare to suppress these deserters?
"What to do?" Hei Lou Lan asked; this monster gave him an extreme headache.
"Don't worry. Killer moves have astonishing might but their consumption of primeval essence is also enormous. Moreover, this killer move clearly has a defect, this monster has already lost its reasoning. A powerful being without intelligence is nothing to worry about." Fang Yuan calmly analyzed, his voice shaking everyone's mind.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, then we have already won this battle!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng added.
But he had just finished speaking when the unexpected event happened.
The three heads six arms monster suddenly separated into three people who then charged into three directions.
Liu Wen Wu and Mo Shi Kuang's charge missed, but Ouyang Bi Sang's eyes shone as he shouted: "Chang Shan Yin, I have finally found you! Die!!"
Their three people combination into three heads six arms monster allowed their souls to mix and their battle strength would raise rapidly, but this state could not be maintained for long. The longer it was used, the more chaotic their memories would become, finally leading them to lose themself and become a delirious lunatic or become an idiot.
When they killed the Gu Master that had come for reinforcement, their minds shook and barely managed to regain a trace of sanity.
Relying on this sanity, they planned in making a comeback.
Compared to killing Tai Bai Yun Sheng, killing Chang Shan Yin would no doubt be much more important.
The investigative Gu of these three were not common Gu. By carefully observing the battlefield, they calculated the three places where Fang Yuan was most likely to be hiding.
In the end, Ouyang Bi Sang found Fang Yuan's hiding place.
'Damn it! If the Wolf King dies, the wolf group will crumble apart. Liu tribe's army will be able to turn around the situation and it will instead become my army's defeat.' Seeing Ouyang Bi Sang pouncing at Chang Shan Yin with a sinister smile, Hei Lou Lan shouted inwardly as he crazily rushed to assist, but he was still late.
"Die!" Ouyang Bi Sang unexpectedly still had enough primeval essence left to activate asura transformation again!
"Wolf King is finished!" Sun Shi Han was afraid but also happy.
"Bad! Chang Shan Yin is going to die!!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng and others had pale expressions.
"Father!" Chang Ji You shouted in desperation.
However, the person in question, Fang Yuan, had a strange smile on his face as he saw Ouyang Bi Sang's attack.
Rank four eagle raise Gu and rank five amplify effect Gu!
A pair of eagle wings suddenly grew out of Fang Yuan's back and took him towards the sky with five times the speed.
Ouyang Bi Sang was dazed for a second before he hurried chased, shouting: "Don't even think of escaping!"
But his speed was not enough and he could only look on as the gap between them spread apart.
"Let me!" Liu Wen Wu shouted and turned into a white light that rapidly charged over. But Fang Yuan nimbly turned around and dodged.
Mo Shi Kuang also rushed over at this moment, chasing and intercepting Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was extremely deft - at times, he was like a butterfly passing through the flowers; at times, he was like a lightning; at times, he was like a light wind; and at times, he was like a ghost, playfully circling the three.
"This... this is master level flying skill!" Everyone looked at this sight with dumbfounded gazes.
Gu Masters raised Gu, used Gu and refined Gu; no matter which aspect, they were all profound and vast. It was clearly the same Gu that they were using, but some Gu Masters could use them brilliantly, elevating it to a level of art.
People often called these individuals — masters!
"I had never thought that Wolf King was not only an enslavement path master but also flying master!" Everyone looked for a while and let go of their worries, exclaiming in surprise.
"Wolf King, don't run if you dare!" Ouyang Bi Sang shouted.
"Chang Shan Yin, if you have any guts, come exchange three hundred moves with me!" Mo Shi Kuang roared in fury.
"Damn it..." Liu Wen Wu gnashed his teeth, his heart already sinking to the bottom.
Fang Yuan's flying skills left them in the dust. What made them even more vexed was that Fang Yuan was unexpectedly separating his thoughts in controlling the wolf group to slaughter Liu tribe army, while dodging them!
"Oh for heaven's sake, if I knew you could fly this skillfully, why would we need to fight to this extent?" Looking at Fang Yuan's skillful maneuvers, Hei Lou Lan felt some resentment in his heart.
As for the Liu tribe three brothers, they were completely speechless.
-x-X-x-
Liu Wen Wu lost.
It was an indignant loss, but this was the truth, it would not change because of his feelings.
Liu Wen Wu, Ouyang Bi Sang, Mo Shi Kuang all had flying abilities. But in terms of flying attainment, they could not compare to Fang Yuan.
The sky was different from the ground, people could fly freely in the air, up, down, left, right, they could dodge in all directions and fly everywhere. But on the ground, there was much less space for evasion.
No matter how Liu Wen Wu and gang tried to block him, they could do nothing to Fang Yuan.
Meanwhile, as Fang Yuan dodged, he mobilized the wolf army to slaughter Liu tribe's army.
Liu Wen Wu and gang had no choice but to give up on chasing Fang Yuan, turning to kill the wolf group and helping the low rank Gu Masters.
But this was what Hei Lou Lan, Fang Yuan and others wanted to see!
Using wolf kings or the mutated wolf group to expended the Liu tribe three brothers' precious primeval essence was very worth it, it was very advantageous to Fang Yuan as well.
As long as a Gu Master did not advance to immortal realm, their primeval essence would be limited. Once they expend their primeval essence, their battle strength would decrease drastically and hit rock bottom.
The wolf tide came again and again, the more wolves the Liu tribe three brothers killed, the more primeval essence they used up.
The wolf group's scale was huge, it was never-ending, eventually, Liu tribe three brothers killed until their primeval essence was depleted.
By the time they had to preserve their primeval essence they would no longer be able to battle freely. Hei tribe's higher level battle strength finally had something to do as they suppressed the three of them.
"Hei Lou Lan, today, I did not lose to you, but I lost to Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Chang Shan Yin!" Liu Wen Wu's hair was messy as his body was covered in injuries, he no longer had his gentleman-like attitude as he shouted indignantly.
He felt that: With their three brother's killer move 'three heads six arms', they had great battle strength and could suppress the battlefield. If back then, they got to Fang Yuan and used their supreme speed to kill Fang Yuan, the wolf group would've collapsed and Hei tribe would've lost.
But Tai Bai Yun Sheng had the rank five healing Gu 'man as before', the effect was godly, it greatly weakened the effectiveness of their killer move.
When they were left with no choice and chased after Wolf King, they found that the enslavement master Chang Shan Yin was actually a mother****ing flying master!
The three brothers could not catch him, they could only watch the battle crumble. Eventually, Liu tribe lost and was chased down by Hei tribe, they suffered great losses and countless people surrendered.
As the alliance leader, Liu Wen Wu and others were captured after their primeval essence was depleted.
Hei tribe and Liu tribe had always been competing, the two super tribes had a tense relationship, it was well known in northern plains. Now, Hei tribe only captured Liu Wen Wu and others and did not kill them, they wisely sought for a great amount of battle reparation from Liu tribe.
Liu Wen Wu was one of Liu tribe's prospective Gu Immortals, if he was killed, the bottomline of this Imperial Court contest's rules would be infringed.
More importantly, although Hei tribe won, it was a tragic victory and they suffered huge losses as well. Without Liu Wen Wu to bargain for huge amounts of compensation, just ordinary battle gains would not allow Hei tribe to regain their strength. This was very disadvantageous for their future battles for the Imperial Court.
Three days later, Liu tribe's envoy came, and brought all of the Liu tribesmen and the tribes that submitted to them back into the blessed land.
As for the tired and heavily damaged Hei tribe army, they set up camp and managed the people who surrendered, reforming their alliance and collating the battle gains, giving out resources and digesting the spoils of war.
In the large lizard house Gu, Fang Yuan sat on the cushion as he cultivated intently.
A rank four wolf soul Gu appeared out of his body through his will.
The wolf soul Gu was only thumb-size, it was like a tiny grey wolf-shaped doll, it floated in the air as it was covered in an eerie blue light.
The primeval sea level in Fang Yuan's aperture dropped as primeval essence was injected into the wolf soul Gu, causing it to expand rapidly.
Howl!
Wolf soul Gu expanded and turned into a pure grey wolf soul, as large as an elephant.
Next, the wolf soul opened its mouth and howled soundlessly, crashing towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly, how could a thousand man soul be so easily affected? The wolf soul crashed on his thousand man soul, and immediately froze, suppressed by his thousand man soul.
The two souls tangled as they turned into mist. A moment later, the wolf soul fused into the thousand man soul and reappeared.
At this moment, the thousand man soul had a long pair of wolf ears on its head, its body was thinner than Fang Yuan's body, and its nose also became sharper. The only part that had not changed were its long hair, eyes, and tail.
"Ever since the Imperial Court competition, I have been using wolf soul Gu daily to refine my soul. Now, I have achieved small success, my soul is around 30% wolfman soul."
Once he fully converts to wolfman soul, his control over the wolf group would experience another qualitative change. Not only would the numbers increase greatly, he would be able to command them like an extension of his limbs, controlling them would require a mere thought.
After a intense battle, his soul's tiredness and weariness would also be lower.
"But according to this speed, by the time I completely refine the wolfman soul, the Imperial Court contest would be over already. I only have rank four wolf soul Gu, the efficiency is way too slow." Fang Yuan sighed.
If he had rank five wolf soul Gu, that would be better compared to Fang Yuan's current situation. But rank four wolf soul Gu was like a grown man using a tiny knife to chop a tree.
In truth, Fang Yuan's soul cultivation was already very fast.
Ordinary Gu Masters needed to spend at least twenty to thirty years to reach his level. Even a genius Gu Master with a clan's support could only be like Dong Fang Yu Liang, reducing the time needed to ten years.
Fang Yuan had Dang Hun mountain, his soul foundation grew at rocket speed, his point of view was obviously different.
"If I can get that Thieving Heaven inheritance, and obtain Luo Po valley..." Fang Yuan's thoughts drifted to this.
But a moment later, he stopped this thought.
In Hu Immortal blessed land, Dang Hun mountain was corroded by the gruel mud continuously, there was only a small mountain left now.
His current objective was to save Dang Hun mountain. As for Luo Po valley, he could only search for it after the Imperial Court contest ends.
While Fang Yuan was cultivating, Chang Biao brought Ni Xue Tong, and Chang Ji You to the door of the large lizard house Gu.
I am Chang Biao, I was summoned by Lord Wolf King." Chang Biao's voice was low and polite, he respectfully informed the guarding Gu Master.
The two rank three Gu Masters had a plain expression as they stood by the door, one answered; "Lord Wolf King is cultivating now, we cannot enter the Gu house to inform him, you will have to wait!"
"Hehe, that is only natural." Chang Biao laughed, trying to conceal the bitterness and dreariness in his heart.
He and Chang Shan Yin had a huge grudge, he would not be willing to submit to Hei tribe. Originally, he wanted to go to Liu tribe, but Liu tribe wanted him to give up his family name and join Liu tribe, this request was impossible for Chang tribesmen and the elders to accept.
Chang tribe was a large size tribe, once they gave up their family name and became Liu tribesmen, Chang tribe would cease to exist.
Furthermore, Hei Lou Lan captured Liu Wen Wu alive and in order to appeal to the most important person Chang Shan Yin, he added in the condition of taking over Chang tribe among the battle reparation.
Thus, Chang tribe became the sacrificial lamb in Liu and Hei tribe's transaction. If Chang tribe did not submit to Hei tribe, they would be assaulted by Hei tribe's army. Forced by both tribes, Chang tribe had no choice but to lower their heads to Hei Lou Lan, becoming Hei tribe's captives.
Chang Shan Yin and Chang tribe's enmity was known to all. After Hei Lou Lan captured Chang tribe, he let Fang Yuan deal with them completely.
After Fang Yuan got the news, he expressed his gratitude to Hei Lou Lan, but in fact, he did not care about it.
He was only using Chang Shan Yin's identity, in order to enter the Imperial Court blessed land. Wolf King's grudges had nothing to do with him.
But if he settled this casually, it would not fit his current status, and people would get suspicious. Thus, Fang Yuan informed Chang tribe's current leader Chang Biao to meet him.
Chang Biao waited from evening to midnight.
At this period of time, northern plains' nights were extremely cold. Chang Biao and the others had their Gu worms confiscated, the primeval essence in their apertures could not resist the cold. Under the blowing night wind, they were shivering from the cold.
Chang Biao kept a calm expression, but Ni Xue Tong was very guilty, she could not conceal the worry in her heart. Chang Ji You was young and at the peak of his health, although his nose was red from the cold, and his body was shivering, his eyes were shining brightly with excitement.
All his life, he had been hearing about the 'Wolf King Chang Shan Yin' and his great deeds.
Everyone called him the 'hero's son', he was gifted this unique status from birth, this gave him great worries, pride, trouble, and even chance encounters. @@novelbin@@
When he had first heard about Wolf King Chang Shan Yin being alive and had returned, but wanted to exact revenge on Chang tribe, he had very complicated feelings. When he found out that he was going to battle his father, his intense battle intent wavered. During the earlier meeting, Chang Shan Yin did not appear, in fact he went to bash up Sun Shi Han, this made Chang Ji You feel disappointed but also great admiration. After Liu tribe lost, he became a captive but that made him sigh in relief — he no longer needed to fight with his father!
Right now after Liu tribe lost, he was going to meet his real father, Chang Ji You was very excited in his heart.
Even though he was outside shivering and suffering from the weather, it could not freeze the hot-bloodedness in him.
"The person who gave me everything, my father, what kind of person are you?" He was very curious, but he also felt a bit lost and anxious.
After using three wolf soul Gu, Fang Yuan opened his eyes.
The sound of the icy wind blowing outside the window could be heard in the warm room.
Fang Yuan purposely gave Chang Biao a display of authority, after counting the time that had passed, he knew it was time. Thus, he transmitted his message while controlling the large lizard house Gu and opened the doors.
"Lord Wolf King has finished his cultivation, he will meet you now." The Gu Master guards outside received the transmission and said expressionlessly.
Chang Biao's breathing paused, he felt great trepidation as he walked in first, with heavy footsteps.
If Wolf King found out the truth, then he would die without a proper corpse, his reputation would be ruined. Even if Wolf King did not find out the truth, as long as he wanted revenge, killing the whole of Chang tribe would only be a sentence worth of work.
Being meat on the chopping block, this was the helplessness of being in this world!
Fang Yuan looked at the three people kneeling before him.
Chang Biao lowered his head, gritting his teeth, while Ni Xue Tong had a pale expression and was shivering. As for Chang Ji You, he was breathing roughly, but he took peeks at Chang Shan Yin at times, showing an excited expression.
Fang Yuan laughed lightly.
The laughter was heard by all three of them, causing them to shudder.
Chang Biao shut his eyes, his heart had sank to rock bottom, he was waiting for judgement.
Ni Xue Tong almost collapsed on the ground weakly, but Chang Ji You was very agitated, this was father's laughter, he felt a strong sense of warmth from this laugh.
