Spiritual power surged around him, stirring up a turbulent wind filled with countless blades, dense as feathers, shining brightly yet containing killing intent.
Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art!
Gu Family’s superior Taoist skill.
This wind-based spell is incredibly powerful but requires operating the spell formula to accumulate massive spiritual power.
Until now, Gu Changhuai had not had the opportunity to use it in battle.
But now, Xiao Zhenhai failed in his combat with Mo Hua’s pupil technique, his Divine Sense damaged, Evil Qi rebounding, tipping on the edge of losing control, providing Gu Changhuai the only chance to use this Taoist skill.
Majestic wind-system spiritual power converged.
After a few breaths, Gu Family’s superior Taoist skill Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art was realized.
Gu Changhuai’s gaze was indifferent as he pointed forward, and the wind blades around him, like the wings of a green luan, suddenly fluttered, turning into a raging gale rushing towards Xiao Zhenhai.
Xiao Zhenhai’s Divine Soul suffered sword punishnt, on the brink of collapse, but could vaguely sense mortal danger, instinctively dodging aside, trying to escape this lethal move.
At this mont, Xia Canonical Official awoke too, seeing Xiao Zhenhai attempting to dodge, she endured the severe pain in her Divine Sense, infused spiritual power into her short sword, using Sword Controlling thod to condense icy sword light and attacked Xiao Zhenhai.
Her swordsmanship was known for its perilous speed and efficiency.
Now she struck swiftly, directly piercing Xiao Zhenhai’s chest, ice-system spiritual power spread, instantly freezing Xiao Zhenhai’s heart arteries.
Xiao Zhenhai’s movents were frozen.
Almost simultaneously, the strong wind blade ford by the Wind-Riding Feather Transformation Art, like a green luan flapping its wings, whistled towards him.
Countless tiny wind blades directly engulfed Xiao Zhenhai, slicing his flesh bit by bit.
The intense spiritual power fluctuation forced Mo Hua and others to retreat quickly.
As the dust settled.
Xiao Zhenhai, akin to being flayed, was bloodied all over, his ridians severed.
Near death, dispirited and muddle-headed, Xiao Zhenhai took a last look at Mo Hua, wanting to speak but unable to articulate.
His eyes were filled with anger and reluctance.
All his life, he hid in the shadows, preparing for any eventuality.
But by misstepping once, overlooking once, he dood his life...
Xiao Zhenhai’s heart burned with anger, spat blood, and then died.
This ti, he was truly dead.
Almost exhausted to their last drop, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Changhuai’s spiritual power was nearly depleted, and Xia Canonical Official wasn’t any better off.
Yet they looked towards Mo Hua first, concerned.
Gu Changhuai said: "Are you okay?"
Mo Hua wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his eyes, shook his head, and said: "I’m fine."
However, when saying this, Mo Hua’s complexion was sowhat pale.
He had clashed fiercely with Xiao Zhenhai using the pupil technique, though he won, he suffered so backlash.
The thods of the Divine Soul always hurt a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of oneself.
Mo Hua’s Divine Soul was strong, but his flesh was weak.
Using pupil technique through the eye acupoint, performing Soul-Shocking Sword Skill, usually it was alright, but once engaged in battle with a formidable enemy, the burden on both eyes was greater than Mo Hua had anticipated.
Moreover, Mo Hua felt his Divine Soul had also sustained so damage.
This injury wasn’t solely due to the kill-strike with Xiao Zhenhai using pupil technique.
It was connected to fighting the Big White, lacking enough rest, and then using the Soul-Shocking Sword twice consecutively in Dragon King Temple, which accumulated the damage to his Divine Soul, aggravating the injury, bursting forth during the fierce battle with Golden Core Realm Xiao Zhenhai...
Beside him, Xia Canonical Official caught a breath and thought deeply, becoming increasingly puzzled.
How was Xiao Zhenhai’s pupil technique broken?
Why did his consciousness abruptly verge on collapse, providing an opportunity for herself and others?
Why did Mo Hua’s eyes bleed?
What exactly did he do...
Xia Canonical Official looked quietly at Mo Hua, wanting to ask more, "Mo Hua..."
Gu Changhuai interrupted: "This place isn’t safe for long. Let’s get out first."
Xia Canonical Official paused and nodded.
The situation was indeed special, not the right ti for conversation.
She had no choice but to keep her doubts at heart and stop pressing for now.
After rounds of fierce battles, not only Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, but also Ouyang Feng, Hua Qianqian, and Xiao Tianquan, were almost drained of their spiritual power.
Before the gate, wreckage was scattered everywhere.
Xiao Zhenhai was dead, blood zombies were everywhere, white bone maze exuded eerie aura, and the blood red surroundings grew increasingly intense for unknown reasons.
It felt like sothing "was" gradually waking...
Gu Changhuai’s eyelids suddenly twitched, sensing sothing might happen, and hurriedly said: "Quick, let’s move."
Everyone’s hearts tightened, collecting Xiao Zhenhai’s storage bag, checking their belongings to ensure nothing was missed, seizing the chance to leave one by one through the gap of the opened ram’s horn gate from the white bone maze.
Just as they exited the gate, before they could relax, they noticed sothing amiss.
The White Bone Token was still inside.
This token must be carried out as it would be needed when leaving Dragon King Temple.
Yet once the token is pulled out, the maze’s gate will close.
Thus, the one retrieving the token must have excellent movent technique.
Once the Fish Bone Token is pulled, while the gate is closing, they must quickly slip out through the crack.
Before Gu Changhuai could say anything, Mo Hua said:
"I’ll go!"
His movent technique is good, and his stature is slim, best suited for this task.
Just as Gu Changhuai was about to refuse, Mo Hua had already slipped back into the white bone maze through the gap, it was too late to stop him.
"Be careful!" Gu Changhuai could only furrow his brow and advise.
"Okay." Mo Hua replied.
Once inside the white bone maze, Mo Hua didn’t dawdle, directly reaching the demon copper statue and after a mont of inspection, pulled out the Fish Bone Token embedded within it.
The maze’s gate closed slowly.
Mo Hua also prepared to leave.
But at that mont, a hair-raising chomping sound erged.
Everyone turned pale, following the sound only to see Mr. Witch, transford into a monster, crouching over Xiao Zhenhai’s corpse, gnawing on the flesh.
With the nourishnt of Golden Core flesh, Mr. Witch’s aura climbed steadily.
Dense blood qi coiled around its body, its scales grew increasingly black and resilient, its form swelled with astonishing power.
Gu Changhuai was shocked, voice trembling:
"Mo Hua, run fast!"
Mo Hua seed startled too, hastily activating his movent technique, preparing to escape through the door.
But in the next instant, a dreadful blood shadow appeared behind him, casting a shadow that completely enveloped him.
Too fast!
After devouring Xiao Zhenhai and transforming into a yaksha, Mr. Witch had grown imasurably stronger.
In a re mont, it appeared behind Mo Hua.
Mo Hua’s face gradually paled, he seed to realize he "couldn’t" escape.
In the very last mont, with all his strength, he threw the Fish Bone Token through the gradually closing gate’s crack.
His lips moved, seemingly softly saying to everyone:
Run...
Gu Changhuai and others were heartbroken, wanting desperately to rush in and save Mo Hua, but it was too late.
The slowly shutting gate blocked them.
They could only watch helplessly as Mr. Witch’s grueso claws reached for Mo Hua.
Endless blood red engulfed Mo Hua’s slim form entirely...
