Chapter 66: Rank 9 Wisdom Gu
Giant Sun's will turned into several arrows and tried to take advantage of the chaos to kill Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan mobilized the guards beside him to engage in an intense battle with Giant Sun's will.
The duration of the battle was extremely short but it was exceptionally fierce.
Seeing that he could not succeed, Giant Sun's will left after probing and did not continue fighting zealously. There were hardly any thoughts left in this will; the intense battle would demand quick thinking and he would slowly be unable to bear such intensive consumption.
As time passed, Fang Yuan gradually attained the upper hand.
His strength path phantom army continued to increase in numbers, the narrow remaining space was filled with these strength path phantoms, their number already surpassing ten thousand.
Giant Sun's will sneak attacked many times but did not succeed, his remaining volume was less than that of an adult.
"Hei Lou Lan, what are you doing? You are actually letting your thoughts wander at this moment?" Giant Sun's will's furious shout broke Hei Lou Lan's recollection.
Hei Lou Lan was startled to awareness, she then stared at Fang Yuan, her heart filled with extremely complicated emotions — this guy actually had already found his self!? How did he accomplish it?
"The final moment is arriving, the wind veil of assimilation is already close to us. Hei Lou Lan, self-detonate, I swear upon the honor of Giant Sun that I will save you!" Giant Sun's will commanded.
Fang Yuan quickly provoked: "Hehehe, Hei Lou Lan, you are a hero of a generation! Giant Sun's will might have Immortal Gu, but his immortal essence is still with me, how could he save you? How about you surrender to me, I have a way to escape this wind veil of assimilation!"
But Hei Lou Lan's movement slowed down and her battle intent clearly lowered when she heard his words.
Giant Sun's will saw the situation taking a turn for the worse and quickly shouted: "Don't listen to this demon's nonsense, he cannot be trusted! Hei Lou Lan, don't hesitate, this is our final chance to turn around the situation! Could it be that you don't believe me, your ancestor?
Don't forget that I am only lending you the strength path Immortal Gu, it still has my will and it will self-detonate with just a thought from me!"
Hei Lou Lan roared as her battle intent soared again.
"Demon, you have a glib tongue, crafty as a fox! Damn it, what Gu did you use on me? I will make you pay the most terrible price, hand over your life!"
Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "Good, let me personally experience the power of Great Strength True Martial Physique!"
He then faced Hei Lou Lan head-on, and engaged in close combat.
Hei Lou Lan's feelings were much different.
Fang Yuan's power and ferociousness along with the surrounding strength path phantoms' tacit coordination made her feel extremely pressured, and she was suffering injuries after injuries.
For a moment, both sides exchanged moves after moves and were evenly matched.
Giant Sun's will only had to wait for a short while before it saw a flaw from Fang Yuan and sneak attacked at lightning speed.
Fang Yuan retreated a step and turned around, counterattacking at Giant Sun's will.
Giant Sun's will gnashed his teeth as he fiercely clashed with Fang Yuan, creating an even bigger flaw. He bellowed: "Hei Lou Lan!"
As long as this exposed flaw was used, Hei Lou Lan could definitely inflict heavy injuries upon Fang Yuan and might even be able to take his life.
Giant Sun's will finally saw hope at this moment.
"Coming!" Hei Lou Lan charged over and activated her Gu worms, striking with an unprecedented power.
A dozen strength path phantoms suddenly jumped beside Fang Yuan to protect him.
"You!" Giant Sun's will roared in shock, Hei Lou Lan's attack did not strike Fang Yuan, but smashed upon him!
Giant Sun's will crumbled, revealing three Immortal Gu.
Hei Lou Lan opened her mouth, actually swallowing the three Immortal Gu.
With a gulp, the three Immortal Gu entered her stomach.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly, the dozen strength path phantoms that had come to reinforce him changed their formation and surrounded Giant Sun's will, before brazenly self-detonating!
Fist qi surged, almost completely exterminating all of Giant Sun's will; only four to five traces of golden thoughts managed to escape!
"Why, why?!" The golden thoughts were furious and puzzled by the betrayal.
"Hmph! Old bastard, I followed your commands earlier because I needed something. Now that the strength path Immortal Gu is already in my possession, why would I still listen to your commands?" Hei Lou Lan sneered, her beautiful appearance filled with pride and coldness.
"You thankless wretch, unfilial descendant, you actually betrayed your ancestor!" The golden thoughts shouted in hatred.
"Shut up, stop screaming. Is it because your thoughts are too few now that you are unable to think and have become so demented?" Hei Lou Lan crossed her arms and squinted her eyes, "You want me to self-detonate, but after making that kind of promise, what can you actually use to save me? Relying on your slavery Gu, divert disaster Gu or Fixed Immortal Travel?
These are the only three remaining Immortal Gu on you, now tell me, where is the Immortal Gu that can resurrect me? Hmph, you want to deceive me with such a childish trick?"
"If you were strong and powerful, I would obey you according to the rule of complying to the strong. But look at you now, what reason do you have to order me around? Hmm? Just because you are the remaining will left behind by a dead man? Hehehe, even if it is Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, he is already dead, he is a thing of the past!
This is a new era, why is a dead man like you still jumping around like a clown?"
Her words were filled with ambitious and ruthless grandeur!
Hei Lou Lan was still that Hei Lou Lan!
"Even if I only have a single thought remaining, I can still cause the Immortal Gu to perish!" The golden thoughts cried out.
However, Hei Lou Lan was calm: "You can try as much as you want."
"What's going on? You are actually suppressing four Immortal Gu! You might have Great Strength True Martial Physique, but you don't have the will of an immortal, how can you suppress four Immortal Gu?" The golden thoughts flashed with radiance before screaming out in an incredulous tone; clearly, it was unable to destroy the Immortal Gu.
"There are still many things you do not know." Hei Lou Lan seemed to be shrouded in profound mystery at this moment.
"Hei Lou Lan, as a descendant of Huang Jin bloodline and a tribe leader of a super tribe, you colluded with an outsider to scheme against your ancestor! You two shameless bastards, when did you team up? Why didn't I discover it?!" The golden thoughts asked in a furious tone.
"Sure enough, you are much easier to deal with when you can't think. Sigh, your pathetic performance really brings shame to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's reputation." Fang Yuan sighed, but there was a grin on his face filled with disdain.
The two had actually allied just before now.
Earlier, Hei Lou Lan had shouted —"Demon, you have a glib tongue, crafty as a fox! Damn it, what Gu did you use on me? I will make you pay the most terrible price, hand over your life!"
Fang Yuan had not used any Gu, but Hei Lou Lan said Fang Yuan used a Gu.
This was a code word.
Whether it was Fang Yuan or Hei Lou Lan, both were meticulous and suspicious, merciless and formidable characters.
They had cooperated together throughout the Imperial Court contest and had great understanding of each other. Both knew how ambitious the other was and would not resign to being under someone else.
Just because of this, Fang Yuan was willing to take a gamble; anyway, with the strength path phantoms' protection, the risk was not high.
The two swindlers cooperated together, Hei Lou Lan made use of a opportunity in battle and succeeded in attacking Giant Sun's will and seizing away all the Immortal Gu.
"I am unresigned, I am unresigned! I am the strongest, yet I was plotted against till I reached this stage. None of you will have a good end, my main body left behind many arrangements which are set to activate when Eighty-Eight True Yang Building collapses. True Yang Building will be rebuilt, and you guys will be hunted down to the ends of the world.
I didn't lose to you, if I didn't make moves against Ma Hong Yun and ruin my luck, how could I lose?! In the end, I lost to luck!" The golden thoughts roared hysterically.
Boom boom boom.
In the next moment, it self-detonated, destroying itself!
Hei Lou Lan let out a breath of turbid air before looking at Fang Yuan with a tranquil gaze, speaking in a serious tone: "Now, let's have a good discussion, I believe we have the foundation for cooperation."
Fang Yuan nodded, sneering: "Before speaking of anything else, the Immortal Gu Fixed Immortal Travel you seized is mine."
"I know, this is precisely one of my conditions. Right now, I am suppressing your Immortal Gu, but there is no time for me to forcibly refine it. I need you to lend me this Fixed Immortal Travel!" Hei Lou Lan made an astonishing demand.
Fang Yuan had a calm expression: "Why should I lend it to you?"
"Hmph, the Gu is on me and without Fixed Immortal Travel, how can you escape from here? Only if we sincerely cooperate, can we have the chance to escape." Hei Lou Lan said.
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Who told you I don't have other methods to leave this place?"
Hei Lou Lan's pupils shrunk as she looked at Fang Yuan deeply: "The wind veil of assimilation isolates the outside world from the inside, Gu like hole earth Gu and connecting heaven Gu cannot be used. You actually have another method… but you didn't use it even until now, heh, it seems this method has its flaws!"
Fang Yuan calculated his profits; shortly after, he asked the most crucial question —"Then, what can I obtain?"
"Immortal Gu Dark Limit." Hei Lou Lan calmly replied, but inwardly she let out a breath of relief.
"Oh, I would like to hear the details."
"I will help you obtain this Gu. This Gu is in the hands of Gu Immortal Jiang Yu, it can conceal aura, hide heavenly secrets and protect you from deductions. My Great Strength True Martial Physique was sealed with the help of Immortal Gu Dark Limit. You have caused such a huge incident, northern plains' Gu Immortals will definitely track you down and cause troubles for you.
Not only them, there are also the arrangements left behind by Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. But with Immortal Gu Dark Limit, your location will not be discovered."
"Interesting, what else?" Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.
Hei Lou Lan smiled: "We are both smart people, I will speak frankly. I shoulder a huge hatred and grudge so I cannot self-detonate to kill you with me. But you also probably don't want to force me until I drag you along with me, right?"
Hei Lou Lan continued: "I will help you obtain Immortal Gu Dark Limit and will also return Fixed Immortal Travel once I finish using it. I will also give you my strength path killer move, I believe it will provide some help to your new killer move. Moreover, I haven't killed your senior brother Tai Bai Yun Sheng."
Fang Yuan glanced at Tai Bai Yun Sheng who was lying on the ground in unconsciousness, with his body covered by a defensive barrier; this was clearly Hei Lou Lan's work.
"Then your condition is?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Protect me during my Gu Immortal ascension and also help me when I kill my father personally!" Hei Lou Lan's eyes revealed extreme hatred when she said this.
"Interesting! Well, there is no harm in cooperating for the moment." Fang Yuan praised as he agreed.
The shrinking of the wind veil of assimilation had almost reached the extreme.
"There is no time today, we will talk more in the future." After a rough agreement, Hei Lou Lan activated Fixed Immortal Travel; dark green light covered her body.
The moment she left, Fang Yuan immediately destroyed the surroundings to prevent her from using Fixed Immortal Travel to return.
Fang Yuan released starlight firefly Gu and opened the stargate.
But he did not leave immediately, instead deeply gazing at these flying Gu worms.
A few breaths later, a Gu worm flew towards him of its own accord.
Rank nine wisdom Gu!
"Hahaha…" In the narrow space, Fang Yuan's laughter was echoing endlessly.
