Chapter 117: Stealthy Demon Shadow

  Only after all the soldiers were withdrawn into the symbol space did Guo Fei feel at ease. Once these corpse soldiers were discovered, they would definitely be annihilated. His painstakingly cultivated battle team, once damaged, directly affected his own survival and development.

  Kuo Fei rushed through the spacious mansion of the county governor's son, fleeing towards the crowded streets. From far behind, he heard the county governor's heart-wrenching and lung-splitting roar, apparently having discovered that his child had already died.

  "Where do you think you're going!" Zhao Tianyu was indeed a powerful martial artist, and although he couldn't see Guo Fei with his eyes, the Soul Measuring Crystal could only lock onto a general direction. But relying on his keen senses, combined with the sound of Guo Fei's movement rubbing against the air, he quickly locked onto Guo Fei's position. After Guo Fei darted into a large street district, Zhao Tianyu stretched out his hand, and a yellowish-brown light condensed into a massive palm that struck down behind Guo Fei with a loud whoosh. The power of this one palm was so great that it seemed to shake the very heavens!

  Guo Fei didn't dare to slack off, instantly transforming into a sword soldier, revealing his figure. With a swift motion, he unleashed a "Sword Tip Slash", a dazzling white light emanating from the sword, tearing through the air and heading straight for the enormous glowing palm.

  "Boom!" Two beams of light collided in mid-air, releasing a deafening explosion. Like fireworks, the yellowish-brown glow and dazzling white light burst out in all directions, generating a violent storm that shattered nearby houses, and the two energy spheres also dissipated into thin air.

  "Wuzong, incredible skill! So you were hiding your true strength!" Zhao Tianyu stood in mid-air, his eyes fixed on Guo Fei.

  "I was born and died for you, Zhao Guo, yet you treat me like this." Guo Fei stood with his sword, looking up at the sky with a cold smile.

  "If you weren't a dual-attribute physique, with your talent, I would have focused on cultivating you. Unfortunately, it's futile now. Even if you reached the Wu Zong cultivation level or mastered an ultimate technique, in front of me, you still wouldn't have any chance of winning. The gap between a Sect Master and a respected master can't be bridged by luck." Zhao Tianyu said with a disappointed expression, his voice low.

  "Haha, this young master was born into a military family, even if I die, I will fight to the end. If you have the ability, come and take me!" Guo Fei thought for a moment, in a situation where he couldn't help it, he could only sacrifice these corpse soldiers. As long as the corpse soldiers could entangle Zhao Tianyu for half an hour, he would have the opportunity to escape.

  But, unless absolutely necessary, Guo Fei did not want to reveal his own bottom line, nor did he want to sacrifice these corpse soldiers, letting them deal with Zhao Tianyu who was flying in the air, it was simply a living target. Moreover, these corpse soldiers were not easy to come by, they were carefully cultivated by himself, and were also the backbone of his own power. If he had to find and cultivate again, he didn't know when he would be able to form a fighting force.

  "In that case, I'll have to take matters into my own hands!" Zhao Tianyu's face sank, and with a wave of his palm, a yellowish light fist shot out, heading straight for Guo Fei's face. It seemed he intended to injure Guo Fei before capturing him alive.

  Guo Fei swung the Xuan Tie sword in his hand, and another "Sword Tip Slash" was released, dispersing Zhao Tianyu's light punch. Zhao Tianyu seemed to have expected Guo Fei to make this move, and after throwing a punch, he waved his hand, and the axe inserted at his waist suddenly jumped into his hand, instantly enlarged, and then burst with light, a one-meter-long axe tip slashed down from the air, making Guo Fei unable to dodge.

  Guo Fei was shocked and his body suddenly retreated, preparing to summon the corpse soldiers to assist in the battle.

  "Hiss!" A faint sonic boom suddenly burst out from the house behind, and in the dark night sky, only a faint flash was seen, directly hitting the giant axe's light shadow.

  Guo Fei hastily stopped summoning the undead to assist, and focused his attention. He was suddenly extremely shocked. What had dispersed Zhao Tianyu's axe was actually a small, delicate willow-leaf knife. The willow-leaf knife spun rapidly in mid-air, flashing out streaks of black light, like a black meteor leaving trails in the air.

  "What a person!" Zhao Tianyu's face changed, and with a light stroke of his willow-leaf knife, he broke through the thick axe blade that was dancing in mid-air, clearly indicating that the newcomer was no ordinary person.

  "Hmph! Humans are getting more and more despicable! You, a respected being, actually stoop to being a lackey for the Spirit Clan and bully a junior, it's really unbearable to watch." A soft, charming, and seductive woman's voice suddenly floated out from the building behind Guo Fei. The voice was extremely alluring, if not for Guo Fei's frequent training under Hu Xiao Yue's bewitching, his mind would have been shaken by such a sound.

  As the sound faded away, a figure slowly rose into the air.

  Guo Fei concentrated his attention and took a closer look, only to see that the woman was about twenty years old, wearing a black dress with her smooth white shoulders exposed. Although such dresses were common in his previous life, they were rarely seen in this world, especially on the mainland. The women of this world were still quite conservative, and Guo Fei couldn't help but be taken aback by the sight, wondering who this person was.

  Looking at the woman's face again, her peerless jade-like complexion was flawless, and with a hint of playfulness and cunning on her face, it made people involuntarily feel their heart skip a beat, extremely charming.

  Guo Fei subconsciously compared herself to Hu Xiaoyue, although Hu Xiaoyue's appearance was not inferior to hers, but she lacked a sense of dynamism, mystery and unpredictability. This woman had both beauty and temperament, qualities that were not innate, but rather the result of years of tempering and cultivation, which made Guo Fei feel that this person was by no means simple.

  Zhao Tianyu naturally also saw that this woman was extraordinary, able to fly in the air, and her cultivation was not inferior. But such a young woman, where did she come from to become such an expert, it made Zhao Tianyu wonder for a moment.

  "The young lady is from which empire, I am doing things for the spiritual tribe. If you have ruined my great undertaking, even if your family's elders come forward, they may not be able to bear it." Zhao Tianyu thought for a moment, such a young person with such cultivation must be a child of a large empire or a noble family, and not someone that his small kingdom can afford to provoke, so he coldly snorted in a very polite tone.

  "Hmph, Spirit Clan, aren't you quite something! I, the king, have been battling with the Spirit Clan for several hundred years, and yet they still can't do anything to me." The woman smiled and said.

  "Hiss!" Zhao Tianyu's eyes turned cold, and his heart suddenly surged with waves. At such a young age, he dared to call himself "Your Majesty", and claimed to have been fighting the Ling tribe for several hundred years - what kind of person was this?

  "Don't pretend to be mysterious!" Zhao Tianyu saw that Guo Fei was about to take advantage of the situation and slip away, knowing he couldn't delay any further. The axe in his hand suddenly rose violently, chopping towards the woman with a thick and heavy blade, clearly using 80% of his strength.

  "Hmph!" The woman snorted, her hand beckoned, and the willow-leaf knife suddenly shot out several meters of blade, producing a black afterimage in the air, rushing towards its axe edge.

  "Hum!" The knife edge struck the axe edge in an instant, directly dispersing the axe edge. The remaining momentum of the knife shadow did not decrease, and it danced in the air like a butterfly, instantly drawing out several knife edges. The knife edge transformed into dozens of light slashes, rushing towards Zhao Tianyu with a whistling sound.

  "Dark Shadow Slash! Demon!" Zhao Tianyu exclaimed as he hastily retreated, his entire body flashing with a yellowish-brown light that condensed into a protective shield. The large axe in his hand automatically flew about, blocking several knife edges, but still several knife edges struck his body, one of which shattered the Soul Measuring Crystal in his hand instantly, while the remaining ones collided with his body and the protective shield, producing a fierce explosion.

  "Poof!" Zhao Tianyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air, his body crashing directly into a building and heavily falling down.
