Chapter Eighty-Five: Intercepting and Killing Hu Yan

  Hú Yàngáng, who had lost both legs, flipped out, and Guō Fēi's two ghostly soldiers of the rank of jié immediately surrounded him, one on each side, locking him in place.

  Guo Fei's body rushed out, and he pulled out the other two fox demons who were on their last breath from the rock, fortunately, their heart was not pierced by the ground thorn. Guo Fei stabbed his heart with a knife, took out his heart blood with a jade bottle, and filled up a large bottle for both of them. The jade bottle's inscription flashed out dazzling light, showing its high value.

  After the heart blood was taken out, two fox demons took shape and instantly turned into two huge red foxes. A fire-red fox beast soul burst out of their bodies, and due to having the same attribute, they were collected by Guo Fei into the same sealed beast soul ball.

  "Hand him over to me!" Hei Feng glared at Hu Yan, saying to the two corpse soldiers.

  Guo Fei waved his hand, and the two corpse soldiers led the remaining five corpse soldiers to quickly kill the three people behind. The three people behind were the opponents of the corpse soldiers led by the two ghost generals. The arrows shot by the archers hit the corpse soldiers, but they didn't care at all. The arrows couldn't even penetrate their bronze armor. Moreover, the distance was too close, and he didn't have many opportunities to shoot arrows.

  The sorcerer only shot three ice arrows, all of which were knocked down by the giant and the knight's dark energy thorns. The three were instantly captured alive.

  Huyan, who had lost both legs, reacted extremely quickly and instantly used dozens of "hydrotherapy" spells to heal his severed and bleeding legs. Although the bleeding stopped, he was left without feet. He used his hands as feet and continued to run swiftly on the rocky mountain with the beastly aura outside his body emitting a fiery red flame that closely guarded him.

  Hei Feng was like a madman, chasing closely behind. Although Hei Feng's calf was broken, his cultivation had not been lost, and he controlled the beastly aura to block Hei Feng, instantly adding three defensive talismans to himself.

  The third level of "Stone Skin Technique", his body instantly turned into a yellowish-brown color, as if a thick layer of soil was applied to his skin, becoming abnormally hard.

  Then, he displayed the fourth level of "Stone Armor Technique", and his clothes instantly formed a yellowish-brown stone armor on the outside, just like a layer of rock protecting his body, but without affecting his movements at all, it was quite mysterious.

  Immediately afterwards, the fourth-level "Flame Shield" was deployed, forming a large scarlet shield about one person high on the outside of his body. The shield emitted fiery red flames that floated constantly on the outside of Hu Yan's body.

  Hu Yan wrapped himself in a "turtle shell" for the time being, and Hei Feng's sword edge couldn't break through Hu Yan's defense despite his extremely fast speed. Meanwhile, Hu Yan controlled his beastly aura to launch a non-stop attack on Hei Feng, who not only failed to gain an advantage but was also forced into a flurry of activity, with several burn marks appearing on his body, causing him to shout angrily.

  However, Hu Yan did not linger in battle and swiftly galloped down the mountain towards the chaotic thorny forest. Hei Feng was struck by his beastly aura and could not intercept him. At this moment, Hu Yan realized that he had miscalculated - it was not Hei Feng who was going to ambush them, but rather Guo Fei who was secretly manipulating things from behind the scenes. Witnessing this situation, his heart had long been disheartened.

  He often boasted that he was a master strategist, known as the wise one, and deeply favored by An Guo Gong. Who would have thought that he would capsize in a small ditch? While feeling regretful, he was also terrified of Guo Fei.

  What kind of person is he? His cultivation is not high, yet he has so many powerful subordinates, forcing him to rush out quickly. He can't help but want to fly with wings.

  Guo Fei took a look and directed two ghostly soldiers of the general level to go and assist in blocking the interception. Faced with this battle, Guo Fei deeply felt his own inadequacy, without any powerful attacks, he simply didn't dare to go forward and send himself to death. Hu Yan's fiery red sword edge flashed, colliding with the invisible true energy, it was like hitting a stone with an egg, and the beastly flames were extremely fierce, not something that could be resisted by the invisible true energy.

  Guo Fei deeply felt his own inadequacy at this time, and stepped into the Yuanjing to stir up his primordial energy, forming a vital aura was too important. Unfortunately, humans often cultivate for countless years before they can touch the edge of the Yuanjing, but he didn't have that much time because he had inadvertently provoked a cultivator who was far stronger than himself. Fortunately, his own military strength was gradually becoming more powerful, making him slightly more at ease.

  There were two ghostly experts assisting him, and Hei Feng gradually stood his ground. The three of them surrounded Hu Yan in a fierce battle on the mountain of rocks and thorns.

  Guo Fei watched from the side, his heart churning with huge waves. Fellow cultivators of the same level, the difference wasn't just ordinary, the two ghostly generals didn't have a "killer move", relying on their dark energy aura they couldn't even get close to Hu Yan's body, Hei Feng had the "shrinking earth technique" ultimate skill, but what he cultivated was a physical technique, which made him much weaker in attack.

  On the contrary, the demon tribe was in a favorable position. The fire-type beast's attack was so powerful that it made people dare not underestimate it.

  "Master, the human tribe, ghost tribe, demon tribe and spirit tribe rely on martial skills and spells, while our demon fox tribe relies on beastly instincts. You don't have to be discouraged, as long as you obtain profound martial skills, or what you call ultimate skills, you will surely surpass us demon foxes." Hu Xiaoyue noticed Guo Fei's worries and comforted him from the side.

  What Hu Xiaoyue said was to comfort herself, the scriptures for cultivating the boundary were hard to come by, let alone the ultimate technique, it was simply not dared to be extravagant.

  Guo Fei now knows that the ultimate skill is actually a profound martial art, only to be distinguished from ordinary martial arts by changing its name. Moreover, the ultimate skill indeed has its unique aspects, using yuanqi to drive it, often able to unleash earth-shattering power.

  "Don't worry, master. Hu Yan can't escape now. The spell of the talisman has a time limit, and once his defensive talisman disappears, he's no match for the three of them." Hu Xiaoyue comforted Guo Fei in a soft voice, seeing that he still had a worried look on his face.

  Guo Fei could naturally see that in the intense battle, the three of them gradually became more coordinated. Heifeng launched a main attack on the beast's core, his great sword emitting a yellowish-brown glow as it struck at the core. The two undead soldiers mainly attacked Hu Yan's true body, blocking him and not letting him escape.

  Hu Yan did not disappoint as a man of strong will, and at this moment he didn't say a word, desperately breaking through the encirclement. Instead, it made Guo Fei look at him with new eyes.

  The more anxious and flustered he became, the more entangled he was with the three of them. Hu Yan regretted in silence, he hadn't prepared many attack talismans, thinking that his beastly instincts' attacks were comparable to third-level powerful killing talismans, so there was no need for attack talismans, but instead had prepared a few defense talismans. Now that his vital energy was gradually drying up, he only began to regret it.

  "Hei Feng, if you help me out of this predicament! I won't hold past grudges against you, and not only will I restore your former position, but also have the Duke reuse you and appoint you as the commander of the army, are you willing?" Hu Yan shouted anxiously.

  "You can't rest easy, I won't share the sky with the murderer of my wife."

  "Hei Feng, where can't you find beautiful grass on the horizon? I'll find a better one for you. Our Fox tribe has many pretty girls with extremely high cultivation. Why not enjoy it?"

  "Die, you beast!" The black wind sword flashed, slashing fiercely with each stroke.

  "Guo Fei, if you let me go, I guarantee that An Guo Gong will no longer bother you and will assist you with all his might. You can have whatever you want." Hu Yan said hastily to Guo Fei as he saw the defensive talisman about to disappear under the fierce attack of the two ghostly generals.

  "Heh heh. Currently your only way out is to surrender. Hand over your wealth, hand over the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array, and I'll spare your life."

  "Actually, you want the Liu Ding Liu Jia Phantom Kill Array. Even if you kill me, you won't get it. It's not on me anyway. Let me go and I'll help you obtain it."

  "Haha, you're not even blinking when deceiving people? Capture you and we'll naturally be able to force out the location of the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array. Letting you go, do we still have a way to live?" Guo Fei loudly laughed and said.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" The Flame Shield defensive spell finally dissipated under the continuous attacks of the Ghost General, and then the Stone Armor support also dissipated in less than half an hour.

  The beastly aura was also greatly diminished under the fierce pursuit of the black wind, and Hu Yan's face turned iron-green as he withdrew the beastly aura back into his body. He had no choice but to withdraw it, for once the beastly aura was eliminated, most of his vital energy would disperse. He withdrew the beastly aura, pulled back his vital energy into himself, and unfolded his sword technique, making a desperate struggle like a fish dying in a net.

  "Die!" Black Wind roared, his footsteps flashing as he instantly blocked the way in front of him. His sword shone with a yellow glow, fiercely slashing down. Two corpse soldiers attacked from left and right, their gray auras flickering, like a gray awn piercing through the sun, directly striking towards his fiery red body.
