The slender figure, like a bamboo pole, finally revealed the true form of the Nine Tribulations Witch King.
His skin was fair, his limbs long, and his black robe resembled a ghostly spirit in the sumr night.
His black hair was slicked back, and his features were so well-defined that he didn't seem like soone from the demonic cultivators.
As the flas gradually dissipated, beneath the Nine Tribulations Witch King, only a charred husk remained.
It must have been the unfortunate Ji Xuanyang, now unrecognizable, with a ruptured chest, limp limbs, and a head tilted to one side, sending chills down one's spine.
Fang Feixue summoned the five-ringed flying blade, murmuring cautiously, "It seems Ji Xuanyang was possessed by him, but sothing feels different..."
Gu Feng had only a vague understanding of the possession technique, having heard the elders of the Gu Family discuss it. So demonic cultivators would use secret thods to seize the bodies of young cultivators to extend their own lifespan.
He wasn't clear on the specifics.
Looking again at Ji Xuanyang's already ruptured shell, a palm-sized, spider-like insect slowly crawled out!
Ji Wenxuan stared intently and suddenly exclaid, "Parasitic Gu! So you used a parasitic Gu to implant yourself inside Ji Xuanyang, silently lurking all along!"
The so-called parasitic Gu is a very peculiar type of Gu insect in the Northern Wilderness Gu techniques.
This Gu insect has no other use but to allow the Gu practitioner to parasitize inside the host for a long ti, feeding on the host's primordial spirit and slowly devouring the host's soul.
This devouring process is extrely slow, taking as little as a decade or as long as a century.
The parasitic Gu is like a double-edged sword; although it can invisibly bring the host to death, the Gu practitioner is also confined within the host's body for a long ti, wasting precious ti.
Usually, it's only used when there is deep-seated hatred between both parties, and the parasitic Gu is extrely rare, so it's seldom used.
The Nine Tribulations Witch King chuckled softly, looking at Ji Wenxuan with a cold smile, "You guessed half right. This is a modified version of the species, its efficacy is a hundred tis stronger than the ordinary parasitic Gu."
Everything was laid bare, and Ji Wenxuan gritted his teeth, shouting angrily, "Nine Tribulations! You first sched against my father, then hard my brother. Hand over my father's Elental Infant now, or the White Tiger Witch's Village will fight you to the death today!"
Thousands of witch soldiers imdiately surrounded him, bravely summoning their own Gu insects, waiting for Ji Wenxuan's command.
"Hehehe, interesting!"
The Nine Tribulations Witch King covered his mouth, laughing strangely, and said aningfully, "If your father hadn't been blinded by greed back then, how could I have used him? As for your unfortunate brother, weren't you just about to kill him yourself? How co you're suddenly so brotherly now?"
Ji Wenxuan was stunned on the spot, Nine Tribulations' words piercing his dark inner thoughts. At that ti, he indeed had murderous intent towards Ji Xuanyang.
"Hehe, you speak of righteousness, but how are you any different from ?"
The Nine Tribulations Witch King shook his head disdainfully, saying, "People will stop at nothing in their pursuit of fa and fortune. At least I, the Nine Tribulations Witch King, am not as hypocritical as you, truly laughable!"
Ji Wenxuan was speechless, realizing that, comparatively, he was indeed more of a hypocrite.
"Enough talk! Let's first subdue this old thief together!"
Gu Feng pondered for a mont, the seven-colored Golden Elixir within him spinning rapidly, and a surge of True Core burst forth.
Prompted by Gu Feng, Ji Wenxuan snapped back to reality, quickly composed himself, waved his hand, and commanded loudly, "White Tiger witch soldiers, attack!"
Thousands of witch soldiers simultaneously unleashed their attacking Gu insects, and in an instant, a myriad of lights filled the sky, with various strange Gu techniques flying towards the Nine Tribulations Witch King from all directions!
"Hmph! Petty tricks, you're far too lacking in Gu techniques!"
Arrogantly spreading his arms, the Nine Tribulations Witch King neither dodged nor evaded, and a giant toad suddenly appeared on his chest!
This toad had golden skin, three legs, a round belly, a long thin tongue hanging by its large mouth, and eyes with pupils that split to the sides, looking extrely bizarre.
The toad wriggled for a mont, then let out a deep, strange croak!
"Croak!"
Countless Gu insects flying in the sky suddenly trembled, falling like kites with broken strings.
In an instant, these Gu insects fled in fear, not daring to linger for even a mont.
The witch soldiers were shocked, suddenly realizing that with the toad's strange croak, their connection with the Gu insects was completely severed, and the Nine Tribulations Witch King had effortlessly dissolved their Gu sources!
"Golden Toad Gu King!?"
Ji Wenxuan stepped back in shock, unable to believe what he was seeing.
All things in heaven and earth have their counterbalances, and Gu sources are no exception.
And this Golden Toad Gu is the supre Gu King at the top of the pyramid, naturally capable of restraining nurous Gu insects, with an innate power that can cause a witch cultivator's Gu techniques to collapse.
Except for those legendary divine Gu sources, there's almost nothing that can counter the Golden Toad Gu King.
Who would have thought that the Nine Tribulations Witch King possessed such a formidable treasure!
With a light tap of his finger, the Golden Toad Gu obediently hovered on the Nine Tribulations Witch King's shoulder. He cast a wicked smile at the surrounding witch soldiers and waved his hand, conjuring a gust of black wind!
This gust of black wind, like a massive black curtain, swept towards the surrounding thousands of witch soldiers.
Gu Feng, quick-eyed and quick-handed, imdiately used the Void Shattering Hand, conjuring a towering hand's shadow, and grabbed Hou Yixiao from the crowd ahead of the Nine Tribulations Witch King.
He could disregard the lives of those witch soldiers, but Hou Yixiao was his subordinate and must be kept safe.
Just as the strange black wind curtain was about to strike, Gu Feng swiftly retracted his hand, pulling the fat man back to his side from the crowd!
"Thank you, Sequence! You scared the life out of !" Hou Yixiao, now showing his true form, was already terrified.
This fat man's cultivation was too low, and Gu Feng thought that he must enhance this one's strength in the future, or else he'd be nothing but a burden!
The black wind howled past, instantly covering a large number of witch soldiers. Those who barely escaped were no longer a concern.
Clenching his fists tightly, the Nine Tribulations Witch King's pale face twisted into a sinister smile.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of dozens of violent explosions!
The witch soldiers within the black wind curtain burst one after another, turning into a dazzling blood mist like fireworks!
Their cultivation was low, their status humble, and they didn't even have ti to scream before they perished.
The blood mist filled the sky, lingering for a long ti. The Nine Tribulations Witch King casually reached out, and the blood mist was absorbed into his palm.
After a while, it condensed into a small red bead, crystal clear, emitting an unusual glow.
Playing with the red bead in his hand, the Nine Tribulations Witch King looked disdainfully, "All impure essence, making waste True Core to refine it. Oh well, better than nothing!"
Ji Wenxuan was dumbfounded, finally understanding why the Nine Tribulations Witch King could single-handedly subdue the four major Witch's Villages at the border a hundred years ago.
In the eyes of a Spirit Dividing realm master, the witch cultivators of these Witch's Villages were no more than ants, easily obliterated with a wave of the hand!
Seeing the Nine Tribulations Witch King's overwhelming cultivation power, refining thousands of witch soldiers with a single move, Gu Feng also felt powerless.
This old man had already regained his full strength; capturing him alive was truly too difficult!
