Liao Huoyun nded on the ground, looking at the Fire Cloud Sect elders who were either dead or injured around him. His face was dark and terrifying, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Xue Wuqing, what happened!"
"Sect Master, we were ambushed by this thief..." Xue Wuqing transmitted the events from start to finish using Inner Qi.
After hearing it all, Liao Huoyun's face twisted with rage to the extreme: "Gu You, you're pying with fire!"
Gu You could easily guess what Xue Wuqing had said, likely pushing all the bme onto him.
Though he was taking the fall for that masked man, it didn't matter. Sooner or ter, that masked man would serve the Hidden Poiso anyway. Besides, the two sects were already like water and fire, so he couldn't be bothered to expin.
"What? In your current state, you still want to fight me?"
"As far as I know, your soul's severe injury hasn't healed. I wonder how much strength you muster now?"
Gu You watched him quietly, feeling a surge of eagerness.
Despite some about the desperate terattack of an Innate Expert, if he could kill Liao Huoyun at some cost, wouldn't that be a great thing?
Liao Huoyun didn't answer him but instead said to Xue Wuqing, "Xue Wuqing, fall back!"
"Yes, Sect Master!" Xue Wuqireated a hundred meters away.
Liao Huoyun stared directly at Gu You, a look of determination fshing in his eyes.
"You sughtered the elders of my Fire Cloud Sect. Even if I die, I'll make you pay a heavy price!"
Liao Huoyun flicked his finger against the ste ring on his hand. The ring shattered, and a fiery red longsword appeared in his hand.
Gu You's pupils suddenly shrank, and he excimed, "Fire Cloud Sword!!!"
He never expected Liao Huoyun t the Fire Cloud Sect's treasured on—the Fire Cloud Sword.
He had certainly heard of the Fire Cloud Sword's formidable reputation!
Ba the day, the previous Fire Cloud Sect Master had used the Fire Cloud Sword to sy three Demon Kings during a beast tide, defending the sed shaking the Tianfeng Kingdom. How could he not know of such terrifying power?
Even the Hidden Poiso only had one Innate Spiritual Treasure for cultivating poison gu, but he hadn't brought it out. Every Innate Spiritual Treasure was an a relic passed down for turies, used sparingly unless in a life-or-death situation.
He never expected Liao Huoyun to go all out and bring the Fire Cloud Sword!
"Die!"
In Gu You's shocked gaze, Liao Huoyun shouted, swinging the sword. A crimson sword light, a hundred meters wide, shot straight into the sky, shaking the heavens ah, dimming even the world around it.
With that one swing, Liao Huoyun's body rapidly withered. This strike nearly exhausted his remaining essence, likely leaving him stuck at the early stage of Innate Martial Master for life.
At this moment, only the crimson sword light remained between heaven ah.
"Ahhh!!! You seek death!"
Gu You instantly burned his vital essence, and endless gray gas surged from his body, f a substantial poison gas barrier.
However, Liao Huoyun's sword light didn't aim at him but directly at the many elders of the Hidden Poiso behind him.
"You killed my elders, so I'll sughter yours too. Die!!!" Liao Huoyun, appearing mad, poured his remaining Spiritual Qi into the Fire Cloud Sword, making the sword light even more dazzling.
The elders of the Hidden Poiso looked ashen.
"In your dreams!"
Gu You couldn't let him succeed. Burning his vital essehe poison gas barrier expao over a hundred meters wide, enveloping the many elders of the Hidden Poiso.
"Ten Thousand Poison opy!"
With a low roar, the poison gas barrier became incredibly solid, almost f a hundred-meter-wide bck wall. This was Gu You's stro defensive move, the Ten Thousand Poison opy.
"Boom!"
The sword light crashed down, striking the Ten Thousand Poison opy. The hit area began to corrode wildly, emitting the sound of snow melting, and thick, foul-smelling smoke billowed out.
Iual ption, the poison gas barrier grew thinner, and the crimson sword light dimmed.
Though it might not hold, it was enough for a moment.
Gu You broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that Liao Huoyun's soul hadn't recovered. Otherwise, this sword would have severed his Ten Thousand Poison opy in one blow, leaving no ce for the Hidden Poiso elders.
"All elders, activate the blood escape secret teique areat! Don't look back!" Gu You immediately ordered.
"Yes!"
The Hidden Poiso members felt relieved, having just brushed past death's door. Luckily, the sect master blocked the strike; otherwise, the sequences would have been unimaginable.
Liao Huoyun's face was very grim. He burned his vital essence again, frantically driving the Fire Cloud Sword, turning the air a crimson hue. Gu You also desperately burned his vital essence, making the Ten Thousand Poison opy even more solid.
"Go quickly!" Cold sweat dripped from Gu You's forehead.
The Hidden Poiso elders activated the blood escape teique, turning into streaks of blood light shooting into the sky. However, they collided with an invisible wall mid-air and were bounced back.
"A trapping formation??" Gu You excimed.
Meanwhile, Xiao Long, underground, chuckled softly, seemingly mog the two's foolishness.
"Thank you both for delivering sutig experiehis Emperor will relutly accept it."
In an instant, a strong sense of crisis arose in everyone's hearts, making their hair stand on end.
"Spiritual Qi Killing Formation, activate!"
"Shhhhhh..."
tless Spiritual Qi bdes suddenly desded from the sky, f a magnifit tornado, with the Hidden Poiso members right at the storm's ter!
Gu You's pupils suddenly tracted!
"Ah!!!"
"Ah! Sect Master, save me!"
Screams echoed oer another, resounding through the air. In an instant, tless people were sliced into pieces by the sharp bdes, their bodies separated.
In just a few breaths, the ground was littered with severed limbs, evero Vulture couldn't escape death, being cut into a pile of minced meat after a brief resistance.
By this time, the se had turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, staining the earth a bright red.
"No!!!" Gu You's eyes were bloodshot, howling in despair.
"You killed a level 17 monster, gaining 20,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%)"
"You killed a level 17 monster, gaining 20,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%)"
"You killed a level 19 monster, gaining 32,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%)"
"You killed a level 20 monster, gaining 40,000 experience points! (Level challenge bonus 100%)"
…………
"Ding! gratutions on reag level 13! You need 500,000 experience points to reach the level!"
After a series of experience surges, Xiao Long advao a third-tier Demon General.
At this point, the Hidden Poiso's elder group was finally wiped out! Not a single o!
Gu You seemed struck by lightning, standing dazed, his eyes vat.
"Die!" Taking advantage of Gu You's moment of distra, Liao Huoyun seized the opportunity, cutting through the Ten Thousand Poison opy in one fell swoop. The Fire Cloud Sword's momentum didn't diminish, sshing fiercely at Gu You.
Ssh!!!
An arm flew through the air, blood spttering. Gu You activated the blood escape dispt, but he was ultimately a step too slow, losing an arm.
Liao Huoyun, too, was over-exhausted from burning his vital essence, his once bck hair turned white, his breath weak, resembling an old man with nth left to fight.
"This... how is this possible?"
The one-armed Gu You stared bnkly, his mind in chaos.
When was the tenth-level killing formatio up?
When he arrived, he could clearly sense only a tenth-level shielding formation here. The inal tenth-level illusion and killing formations should have been broken by Xue Wuqing.
Even if they weren't broken, how could they escape his eyes? He was a dignified Innate Expert, and nothing but an Innate-level formation could deceive him!
When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized the masked man hidden underground had vanished.
"Could it be..."
Gu You swallowed hard, his eyes vat: "Innate-level... shielding formation."
