nRuan Qinghe and Wan Qian cried out at the same time.

nBut because they were distracted, the two black-robed men also found an opportunity.

nAfter a few moves, they successfully escaped and regrouped.

n“Not good!”

nGu Tianqing gritted his teeth and shouted, “Junior! Senior Fang’s cultivation is profound, so he might be fine. Let’s clean up the trouble in front of us first!”

nThe black robed man laughed loudly. “Do you think I am one of those useless lone cultivators? You two are only at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, you want to take care of us?”

nIndeed, the person was very strong. His spirit essence strength was overwhelming, and the quality of the Gu worms he used was not low either. He was most likely from a large clan or sect.

nEven if the Gu Immortal Sect had the advantage in numbers, they could not gain any advantage fighting against enemies of a higher cultivation level.

nSlanting to the side, Wan Qian did not say anything. She raised her hand and the Flying Sword Gu changed again, turning into over ten sword Qi that slashed at the back of a black-robed man. His robes were torn apart, leaving behind crisscrossing scars.

n“Bitch, you dare to launch a sneak attack!”

nThis black-robed man’s aura did not decrease after being injured. Instead, he became even fiercer. Using all six layers of strength, his spirit essence was injected into the Gu worm in front of him through his arms.

nIt was a Blazing Meteor Gu. As the name implied, it could create fireballs to attack.

nA scorching light shone, and before anyone could see what happened, Wan Qian was sent flying

n“Cover Junior Wan!”

nTwo round shields surrounded Qin Han, and he stabbed out with his sword, not showing any signs of fear as he blocked the attack.

nBut in the next moment, two huge fireballs came towards him.

nThe green essence origin sword Qi flashed past, but it did not successfully split themapart. The fireballs carried a huge amount of power as they struck the protective sword and shield, producing a series of muffled sounds.

nThe fireball was blazing, so he had no choice but to increase the amount of spirit essence he injected to defend against the heat.

n“Qin Han! Dodge!”

nGu Tianqing was controlling a Gu worm to release an energy attack and was unable to stop the other black-robed man for a while, but he had also noticed the situation over there.

nIf they continued to resist like this, their spirit essence would be depleted rapidly, and they would soon run out of strength.

nHowever, Qin Han’s expression was firm as he gritted his teeth. “I… cannot retreat… Juniors… are behind us…”

nGu Tianqing used the corner of his eyes to look over. The situation at Zhou Chang’s side was not optimistic either, and everyone was using all their methods to block this wave of fireball attacks.

nIf the people in front moved aside, then the people behind would suffer.

nHowever, the black-robed man who was attacking was also in a bad mood.

nHis face was already full of blood, and all the blood vessels were exploding due to the strong pressure.

nHowever, he not stop at this point. Instead, his acupoints were opened, and he directly used spirit essence to inject power into the Gu worm.

nThis time, even the Gu worm could not take it anymore.

nWas he prepared to die together with them?

n“Madman!”

nGu Tianqing gritted his teeth and crossed his arms. He endured the pain of over-circulation of his meridians’ spirit essence and summoned a second Gu worm. It spat out white light and helped to shatter a fireball on Qin Han’s side. “You dare to be distracted in front of me?”

nThe black-robed man snorted and suddenly exerted his strength. Dazzling light interweaved and swallowed Gu Tianqing’s body.

n“Senior Gu!” Qin Han shouted.

nThe light dispersed and Gu Tianqing staggered to his knees. His body was charred and his aura was weak. He was seriously injured.

n“Die!”

nThe black-robed man was about to attack again, but countless blood-colored threads suddenly flew from the side and pierced into his body.

nHe let out a miserable howl and felt the spirit essence in his body rapidly flowing along these threads. The heart-devouring pain followed and he could not help but widen his eyes in fear. “What’s going on, ah! My strength! My strength!”

nFang Yuan slowly got up from the mud.

nA warm feeling came from the Soul Devouring Gu, quickly healing his injuries. But this situation did not last long. A huge Gu worm flew down from the sky, opening its mouth, and countless ice arrows instantly dispelled the soul devouring vortex. A black-robed man landed, standing on the Gu worm’s back. With his hands behind his back and his white beard hanging down from his mask, he looked like an immortal.

n“Kid, surrender, I can spare your friends’ lives.”

n“You think you are the only one with a rank four Gu worm?”

nFang Yuan snorted, pointing with his right hand. The limbs of the Soul Devouring Gu grew bigger and bigger, reaching the same level as the other Gu worm in the blink of an eye.

nThe fluorescent light shone on its dull blood-colored shell, looking extremely fierce.

nThe other party’s gaze brightened slightly. “Gold quality? Very good, after killing you, I will subdue this Gu worm, and my strength will definitely rise to another level!”

nFang Yuan was too lazy to say anything else. “Kill!”

nThe Soul Devouring Gu howled towards the sky, its hind legs exerting strength as it charged forward like a heroic warrior.

nIt opened its bloody mouth, the blood-colored vortex appearing within it, fiercely biting towards the Gu worm that was enshrouded in an ice-blue luster.

n“If I were you, I would use this ability after biting it, idiot!”

nThe black-robed man laughed. He did not even control the Gu worm to dodge, letting it erupt with elemental energy.

nThe cold wind blew, and large amounts of ice crystals directly froze the Soul Devouring Gu’s limbs. The mouthpart was only a step away from the Gu worm, but it did not move an inch.

nFang Yuan’s lips curled.

n“Who told you that my Gu worm only has this ability?”

nThe Soul Devouring Gu’s seemingly hard shell suddenly collapsed, flowing in all directions as if it had been melted.

nSoon after, the black robed man saw over ten sickle-like objects rising from the Soul Devouring Gu’s body, slashing down heavily. He reacted quickly and immediately jumped away, at the same time making the Gu worm condense ice crystals to protect its body.

nClang!

nThe sounds of weapons clashing could be heard.

nEven with the protection of large amounts of ice elements, this Cold Cicada Gu was still unable to block the Soul Devouring Gu’s attack. Several of its legs were chopped off, and green blood splattered on the ground.

nIt cried out in pain as it retreated, looking at the Soul Devouring Gu once again with fear in its eyes.

nFang Yuan saw this and thought it was a pity that the black robed man’s spirit essence was stronger than his. It was not easy to break through his defense.

nThe unexpected attack of the Soul Devouring Gu did not manage to dismember him in one go, so there would not be such an opportunity again.

nHe turned around and looked at the battlefield.

nAfter a bitter battle, everyone was more or less injured, especially Zhou Chang and Qin Han. It was really difficult for them to fight two sixth layer experts while only being at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

nAlthough the opponents were already injured, and there were female disciples who were good at long-range attacks to help from the back, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The gap of two to three layers was an insurmountable gap.

nIf it were not for Gu Yuange who was good at fighting head-on, he would have risked his life to share the burden with the two of them.

nPerhaps there would be two more people lying on the ground now.

nOnce the two black-robed men were free to fight, Fang Yuan might not be able to save himself.

n“Looks like I have to end this quickly…”

nHe thought to himself.

nHowever, how could he end this quickly when facing someone who was two realms stronger than him?
