Chapter 61: No Road Ahead ?
In the sky, the battle was already at its climax.
"I've caught you!" Fang Yuan howled, pouncing down as his six arms that were tougher than steel grabbed the sword made of Giant Sun's will at lightning speed.
But Giant Sun's will instantly split apart, Fang Yuan's long awaited counterattack only destroyed a bit of his thoughts.
"Sigh, if there is no other choice, we can only undergo a drawn out battle." Mo Yao's will said: "Giant Sun's will has no source of energy, during the battle, he needs to think, that will accelerate the collision of his thoughts and thus the expenditure of them."
Fang Yuan was concentrating on the fight while denying Mo Yao's suggestion: "We cannot afford to drag this on! Don't forget six arm heavenly zombie king's weakness, it can only be used for thirty minutes. Once that time passes, the backlash of the killer move would make me a zombie.
Mo Yao retorted: "You underestimate yourself, don't forget that you are a strength path Gu Immortal, the essence of your life has undergone a qualitative change. Thus, the time that you can use the killer move has also been extended, it is far from thirty minutes. My rough estimate is that you have about an hour in length!"
"Even so, we cannot delay this, don't forget that the wind veil of assimilation is getting thicker, shrinking the space in here. My methods cannot counter the special will, does your Water Pavilion have any methods?" Fang Yuan asked.
Mo Yao heaved a long sigh: "Although Water Pavilion is a rank seven Immortal Gu House, it is not skilled at attacking, but rather, its ability lies in concealment and movement. Most importantly, my main body only left behind twenty or so beads of red date immortal essence. After sustaining the Immortal Gu House's operations over the years, there are only five left.
If you want to use Water Pavilion to turn this around, you should dispel this thought! Watch out!!"
Mo Yao suddenly alerted, but it was too late.
Giant Sun's will feigned an attack and attracted most of Fang Yuan's attention, but it suddenly made a turn and got behind him, attacking brutally.
Fang Yuan vomited out a mouthful of green zombie blood, his eight eagle wings were smashed to bits, and his spine was completely shattered, his back was caved in and his chest was caving out of his body.
The intense force caused him to descend rapidly.
Fang Yuan quickly mobilized his Gu worm, attempting to fly into the sky.
Giant Sun's will changed shape freely, slashing, cutting, slamming, piercing, all sorts of attacks caused Fang Yuan's eight arms to be destroyed, the six arm heavenly zombie king's body was tattered as there were many injuries on him from the front to back.
Fang Yuan crashed on the ground harshly, rocks were sent flying and the ground was shaking slightly.
Giant Sun's will followed closely after.
It turned into a golden sword again, the blade was extremely sharp and fast, it stabbed after leaving a golden trail in the air.
Fang Yuan had no way to resist, at the crucial moment, Mo Yao's will manipulated Water Pavilion and turned it back into a liquid armor, preserving Fang Yuan's life.
"Quick, quickly stand up!" Mo Yao's will shouted anxiously.
"It is useless, you cannot kill me. I have stored all of your own, Giant Sun's, immortal essence in my immortal aperture! Hahaha." Fang Yuan laughed crazily, attempting to break Giant Sun's will's fighting spirit.
But his words caused it to become even more furious.
The attacks became faster, he was stabbing at several times the original frequency!
Crack crack crack…
Because he had exceeded his limit, Giant Sun's will's thoughts were destroying themselves too.
Fang Yuan laughed unceasingly, as he protected his brain. In addition, as long as his mind was protected, he would not be invaded by Giant Sun's will, he did not care how many times his organs were stabbed.
The liquid armor was pierced through continuously, but also recovered rapidly. Emitting a blue glow, Fang Yuan's body was nourished as his injuries healed.
"Quickly dodge, at this rate, my immortal essence is expending too rapidly!" Mo Yao's will reminded him frantically.
"No! This is a rare chance!! We have to endure it!" Fang Yuan refused, standing at the same spot enduring the frantic attacks of Giant Sun's will: "Even if your immortal essence is used up, you can lend Water Pavilion to me, I still have over eighty green grape immortal essence beads!
Giant Sun's will went crazy, he is doing something very stupid, that is to consume his own thoughts for strong attacks. At this rate, the amount of thoughts he destroys would surpass the damage I have been dealing to him."
"This…" Mo Yao's will went into deep hesitation.
"Should we go and assist old ancestor?" Gu tribe leader Gu Guo Long asked.
Hei Lou Lan decided not to wait anymore, he nodded and shouted: "Everyone listen to my command, we will attack together, do not cause internal conflict and weaken our offensive!"
Everyone nodded, their expressions were serious.
However, just when Hei Lou Lan and the others were about to strike, Giant Sun's will suddenly laughed loudly: "Fang Yuan, you have fallen into my trap!"
Saying this, he retreated quickly.
"What?" Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk, he saw a formless hand grabbing at him.
He shouted in shock: "Seven fingered formless hand!"
It turns out, when Giant Sun's will was pretending to fight with Fang Yuan, even using self-destruction to lure Fang Yuan into tanking the hits, his frenzied attacks were only to attract all of Fang Yuan's attention, to obscure his vision so that this formless hand could be lured over.
He split out a small portion of his will, carrying several Immortal Gu to attract the formless hand.
The formless hand was faster than Giant Sun's will, Giant Sun's will thus split up into ten wills that carried Immortal Gu each at regular intervals. Once the formless hand got near, he would destroy the Immortal Gu!
The formless hand did not have any gains, after feeling the aura of the next Immortal Gu, it would go over.
This way, after Giant Sun's will lost eight Immortal Gu, the formless hand was finally lured over.
"Quickly dodge it!" Mo Yao's will screamed.
"It's too late!!" Fang Yuan had already darted away, simultaneously activating eagle rise Gu. But it was no use, he needed time to accelerate, but the formless hand had already arrived.
At the moment of life and death, Mo Yao's will sighed gloomily, she suddenly activated Water Pavilion and had it leave Fang Yuan, crashing towards the seven fingered formless hand.
The seven fingered formless hand grabbed, and immediately took away the rank seven Immortal Gu that formed part of Water Pavilion, water harmony Gu, away.
Right now, the one and only core, water harmony Immortal Gu, was taken away by the formless hand, Water Pavilion broke down immediately!
"Hahaha, let's see what you can use to block me now!" Giant Sun's will laughed continuously, he paid a huge price and obtained the result he wanted to see.
The formless fist carried the water harmony Gu and flew into the sky.
"Quickly destroy it!" Mo Yao's will screamed, the remainder of the over three thousand Gu worms carried red date immortal essence as they floated around Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan used all of his movement Gu, chasing the formless fist and attacking fiercely.
Giant Sun's will snorted, blocking them.
"We will strike too!" Hei Lou Lan and the others saw the good chance and came to join in, attempting to thwart Fang Yuan's plans.
"You've come at the right time!!" Giant Sun's will praised loudly, he changed his battle tactic and stopped blocking Fang Yuan, turning into a bright rainbow and attacking him instead.
Giant Sun's will did not block Fang Yuan at all, his battle tactic was — go ahead and chase it, I'll let you! In the process of chasing it, I will kill you!
Giant Sun's will slammed, turning into a monk's spade as he changed directions, cutting the Gu worms circulating around Fang Yuan into two segments.
"Oh no, my red date immortal essence!" Mo Yao was caught off guard, not only were many Gu worms destroyed by Giant Sun's will, the red date immortal essence was taken by Giant Sun's will.
"Mo Yao, I'll open my aperture, quickly come in!!" Fang Yuan shouted, retreating rapidly at the same time.
The technique of Giant Sun's will was ongoing and he could not give chase immediately, Fang Yuan was able to pull some distance.
He snorted, flying over quickly in pursuit.
During this time, Mo Yao's will moved the remaining Immortal Gu and together with them entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
"Quickly lend worldly wave trace Gu to me!" Fang Yuan urged.
Mo Yao's will did not hesitate at all, shouting: "Since I have no immortal essence left anyway, I'll lend these Gu to you."
After obtaining Mo Yao's agreement, Fang Yuan immediately used the rank six Immortal Gu.
He shouted while using one bead of green grape immortal essence, activating Worldly Wave Trace.
Swoosh!
A huge wave appeared below Fang Yuan's feet, bringing Fang Yuan away at rapid speed, pulling distance away from Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will was stunned, this was the first time Fang Yuan was able to shrug him off since the battle began.
But he was merely slightly shocked, snickering immediately after: "If this was the outside world, I would be helpless against you. But inside this wind veil of assimilation, the space is becoming more limited. Go ahead and run, as time passes, I will eventually catch you!
"Don't worry, if I die, I will drag all of you with me, don't think of leaving unscathed!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, his green face and sharp fangs made him look extremely vile and ruthless.
"Then come and battle, don't run away if you have the guts!" Although Giant Sun's will could not catch up to Fang Yuan, he chased behind with menacing killing intent.
Fang Yuan did not dare to fight it!
"Giant Sun, I admit your power. But don't forget that all of your Giant Sun's immortal essence is in my immortal aperture. Without any immortal essence, how will you use Immortal Gu? You have no chance of breaking through the wind veil of assimilation just by relying on your special will!" Fang Yuan's thoughts were racing as he attempted to negotiate with Giant Sun's will.
"Want to negotiate? Hahaha!" Giant Sun's will laughed loudly, not concealing the hatred within, "Why would I negotiate with you? Won't it be the same if I kill you and seize the immortal essence back from your immortal aperture? Why don't you try to destroy the immortal essence, you might even succeed."
"Fang Yuan, I won't compromise. You can't fight me and can't escape either. What can you still do? Just let it be, die quickly!" Giant Sun's will taunted while chasing.
Fang Yuan did not respond and only concentrated on fleeing.
The space Fang Yuan could flee to was shrinking. As Giant Sun's will intercepted his paths, Fang Yuan was facing great dangers all around him.
"Giant Sun's will, I will stand here, do you dare to come?" Fang Yuan suddenly stood still and stopped using worldly wave trace Immortal Gu.
Giant Sun's will, however, stopped chasing; they were still hundreds of steps afar, but it did not dare to move closer.
"Hmph, I already expected you would make such a choice." He scoffed in disdain, "But so what? You are only delaying your death by a few moments. I will watch as you die!"
The area Fang Yuan was standing on was the area covered by the light of wisdom.
