Liao Huoyun landed 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 seed 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 extre: "Gu You, you're playing with fire!"
Gu You could easily guess what Xue Wuqing had said, likely pushing all the bla onto him.
Though he was taking the fall for that masked man, it didn't matter. Sooner or later, that masked man would serve the Hidden Poison Sect anyway. Besides, the two sects were already like water and fire, so he couldn't be bothered to explain.
"What? In your current state, you still want to fight ?"
"As far as I know, your soul's severe injury hasn't healed. I wonder how much strength you can muster now?"
Gu You watched him quietly, feeling a surge of eagerness.
Despite so concern about the desperate counterattack of an Innate Expert, if he could kill Liao Huoyun at so 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 Wuqing retreated a hundred ters away.
Liao Huoyun stared directly at Gu You, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
"You slaughtered 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 storage ring on his hand. The ring shattered, and a fiery red longsword appeared in his hand.
Gu You's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaid, "Fire Cloud Sword!!!"
He never expected Liao Huoyun to bring the Fire Cloud Sect's treasured weapon—the Fire Cloud Sword.
He had certainly heard of the Fire Cloud Sword's formidable reputation!
Back in the day, the previous Fire Cloud Sect Master had used the Fire Cloud Sword to slay three Demon Kings during a beast tide, defending the sect and shaking the Tianfeng Kingdom. How could he not know of such terrifying power?
Even the Hidden Poison Sect only had one Innate Spiritual Treasure for cultivating poison gu, but he hadn't brought it out. Every Innate Spiritual Treasure was an ancient relic passed down for centuries, 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 ters wide, shot straight into the sky, shaking the heavens and earth, 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 mont, only the crimson sword light remained between heaven and earth.
"Ahhh!!! You seek death!"
Gu You instantly burned his vital essence, and endless gray gas surged from his body, forming 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 Poison Sect behind him.
"You killed my elders, so I'll slaughter 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 Poison Sect looked ashen.
"In your dreams!"
Gu You couldn't let him succeed. Burning his vital essence, the poison gas barrier expanded to over a hundred ters wide, enveloping the many elders of the Hidden Poison Sect.
"Ten Thousand Poison Canopy!"
With a low roar, the poison gas barrier beca incredibly solid, almost forming a hundred-ter-wide black wall. This was Gu You's strongest defensive move, the Ten Thousand Poison Canopy.
"Boom!"
The sword light crashed down, striking the Ten Thousand Poison Canopy. The hit area began to corrode wildly, emitting the sound of snow lting, and thick, foul-slling smoke billowed out.
In the mutual consumption, the poison gas barrier grew thinner, and the crimson sword light dimd.
Though it might not hold, it was enough for a mont.
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 Canopy in one blow, leaving no chance for the Hidden Poison Sect elders.
"All elders, activate the blood escape secret technique and retreat! Don't look back!" Gu You imdiately ordered.
"Yes!"
The Hidden Poison Sect mbers felt relieved, having just brushed past death's door. Luckily, the sect master blocked the strike; otherwise, the consequences 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 Canopy even more solid.
"Go quickly!" Cold sweat dripped from Gu You's forehead.
The Hidden Poison Sect elders activated the blood escape technique, 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 exclaid.
anwhile, Xiao Long, underground, chuckled softly, seemingly mocking the two's foolishness.
"Thank you both for delivering such enticing experience. This Emperor will reluctantly 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..."
Countless Spiritual Qi blades suddenly descended from the sky, forming a magnificent tornado, with the Hidden Poison Sect mbers right at the storm's center!
Gu You's pupils suddenly contracted!
"Ah!!!"
"Ah! Sect Master, save !"
Screams echoed one after another, resounding through the air. In an instant, countless people were sliced into pieces by the sharp blades, their bodies separated.
In just a few breaths, the ground was littered with severed limbs, even the strongest Vulture couldn't escape death, being cut into a pile of minced at after a brief resistance.
By this ti, the scene 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! Congratulations on reaching level 13! You need 500,000 experience points to reach the next level!"
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"
After a series of experience surges, Xiao Long advanced to a third-tier Demon General.
At this point, the Hidden Poison Sect's elder group was finally wiped out! Not a single one left!
Gu You seed struck by lightning, standing dazed, his eyes vacant.
"Die!" Taking advantage of Gu You's mont of distraction, Liao Huoyun seized the opportunity, cutting through the Ten Thousand Poison Canopy in one fell swoop. The Fire Cloud Sword's montum didn't diminish, slashing fiercely at Gu You.
Slash!!!
An arm flew through the air, blood splattering. Gu You activated the blood escape displacent, but he was ultimately a step too slow, losing an arm.
Liao Huoyun, too, was over-exhausted from burning his vital essence, his once black hair turned white, his breath weak, resembling an old man with no strength left to fight.
"This... how is this possible?"
The one-ard Gu You stared blankly, his mind in chaos.
When was the tenth-level killing formation set up?
When he arrived, he could clearly sense only a tenth-level shielding formation here. The original 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 ca to his senses, he suddenly realized the masked man hidden underground had vanished.
"Could it be..."
Gu You swallowed hard, his eyes vacant: "Innate-level... shielding formation."
