Chapter 134: The Spirit Clan Arrives to Kill
Two scarlet Flame Cranes flew over the sky above Guo Fei's team, followed by a loud and shrill cry. They opened their mouths and spat out a fireball that shot towards Guo Fei and his companions. The Corpse Demon of the Giant Spirit War Team released "Netherworld Ghost Hand", condensing into several ghost claws that blocked the fireball in mid-air.
"Squawk! Squawk!" Two Blazing Cranes let out a shrill cry, their bodies flashing with red light. In an instant, two fiery red crane-shaped spirits burst forth from their bodies. The spirits stretched to three meters in length, covered in raging flames, and flew towards Guo Fei and the others. Wherever they passed, trees within a radius of three meters crackled and burned, creating an extremely majestic spectacle.
"Roar!" The double-headed crocodile let out a long, skyward howl. A faint blue glow flashed around its body, condensing into a massive, serpentine blue light beast. As it moved, its body suddenly stretched five meters in length. The air around it plummeted, and ice crystals formed in the surrounding area. Snowflakes danced and fluttered through the dense forest, flying towards two fiery, crane-like beast spirits.
Obviously, these two Flame Cranes are not low in cultivation and are not far from the King-level Demonic Beast. At least they are at the same level as the Double-headed Crocodile.
"It seems that I need to accelerate my cultivation!" Guo Fei sighed secretly, although the combat power of his subordinates was also his own combat power, but only when his own cultivation improved did he feel a sense of security in his heart. Guo Fei made a secret decision in his heart, after entering the Wan Kong Mountain, he would immediately take the Bixuan Dan, break through to the Yuanjing realm, and strive for the Wuzong boundary.
Two Flame Cranes controlled the beast souls of the Double-Headed Crocodile and clashed, while their true bodies dived down, their hard beaks stabbing towards Guo Fei like flying swords.
"Hidden!" Guo Fei muttered to himself, and in an instant, he vanished from sight. Just as Yan He was about to make contact with his body, Guo Fei transformed into a streak of light and dodged out of the way, simultaneously erasing his presence. The two Yan He birds were left bewildered and disoriented.
"Hiss!" Three flying knives rotated and stabbed towards the eyes of two Flame Cranes, the two Flame Cranes moved extremely fast, dodging in an instant, but the flying knives chased after them like shadows, stabbing into their eyeballs in an instant. The two Flame Cranes each took a knife and let out a miserable cry as they flew up into the sky.
Two Vermilion Bird were injured, and in the moment of their loss of consciousness, the fiery beast soul was struck by the Double-Headed Python's beast soul and transformed into a dense steam that disappeared into the sky.
"You dare to hurt me, we won't let it go!" The two flamingos in the air shouted loudly, speaking human language, and looked extremely angry.
"Rumble!" At this moment, a distant thunderstorm rolled in, with flashes of lightning illuminating the dark sky like white silk. Guo Fei glanced up at the sky and his heart skipped a beat as he knew that the Ling tribe had finally arrived. In an instant, he recalled the Double-Headed Python, leaving behind the Ghost Soldier Squad.
"Go!" A person commanding the Flame Crane in the dense forest let out a low growl, and the Flame Crane in the sky flapped its wings and flew towards Mount Wanjia. The hidden snakes retreated like a tide, coming quickly and going just as fast.
Five figures emerged in the sky, riding on a Thunder Leopard. Their entire bodies were clad in silver-gray armor, which was extremely valuable. Guo Fei had killed a Thunder Leopard Knight before and knew that these armors were made from a rare and expensive material called Secret Silver and Wu Steel, which not only provided unparalleled hardness but also had the effect of shielding against spiritual energy attacks.
Five people rode the Thunder Leopard, floating in mid-air. Among them was Jiang Huan, whom he had met before. He saw that Jiang's brow opened a slit, revealing a silver eye that stared straight at Guo Fei. Even though Guo Fei hid his body, Jiang still stared at him, apparently unaffected by the concealment technique.
"It's really surprising that you didn't use the invisibility spell, have you cultivated the magic of the demon clan?" Jiang Huan looked down at Guo Fei and said in a low voice.
Guo Fei, unable to conceal himself, immediately revealed his figure and calmly said to Jiang Huan above: "I have no grudge or feud with your spiritual clan, why do you persistently pursue me?"
"Heh heh. The Beiyuan people are all slaves to our Ling tribe, and even the great empire must bow its head in submission. Let alone you, a small cultivator. If we take an interest in you, it's your good fortune. Surrender quietly and I might consider letting you suffer less." Jiang Huan said coldly.
"Hahaha." Guo Fei laughed loudly, looking up at the sky: "Good fortune, taking my soul to absorb is also good fortune. Others fear your Spirit Clan, but in my eyes, you're nothing! Spirit Clan warriors, how amazing, this young master will kill you without hesitation."
"It was you who killed him!" Guo Fei pulled out the long spear captured from the Ling tribe warrior. This was a treasured weapon, made from an unknown mixture of metals, extremely hard and had the effect of enhancing the transmission of Yang energy. It was clearly an excellent weapon. Guo Fei had originally planned to refine it and merge it into his Xuan Iron Sword, perhaps allowing his sword to evolve again, but he hadn't had time to do so. Seeing the long spear, Jiang Huan furiously asked in a shocked tone.
"Heh heh. If you're going to chase and kill me, then be prepared to die yourself!"
"You! Die!" Jiang Huan's eyes flashed fiercely, and the five people in mid-air instantly fixed their positions, with long guns flashing in their hands. Thunderbolts burst out from the gun bodies, and for a moment, thick pillars of lightning roared, sending nearby trees flying like splinters. This place instantly became an inferno.
The Jū Líng War Team blocked Guo Fei's path, with bolt after bolt of lightning striking their bodies. Even though the undead warriors' bodies were incredibly resilient, they began to show signs of weakness, emitting a scorched smell from their skin as their entire bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Guo Fei did not dare to fight, and instead hid in stealth. His body shot out like a meteor, and in an instant, he had withdrawn all his troops into the space of the military symbol. The four people in mid-air looked around in dismay, they had not cultivated the heavenly eye, so they could not see Guo Fei who was hiding. Only Jiang Huan could see Guo Fei, directing them to launch lightning bolts from mid-air, but it was slightly delayed, giving Guo Fei a chance to catch his breath.
Guo Fei darted through the dense forest, dodging lightning bolts. The lightning struck the dense forest in sheets, its power was truly immense. If he weren't in the dense forest, Guo Fei would have probably been pierced through by now, but even so, his body had been hit by several lightning bolts, causing him to grit his teeth in pain, as if a sharp knife was stabbing into his heart.
Especially Jiang Huan, this person's cultivation is extremely strong, his heavenly eye divine ability is extraordinary, firmly locking onto Guo Fei, making it impossible for him to dodge. According to Guo Fei's observation, this heavenly eye divine ability seems to be able to penetrate obstacles and observe human forms, which makes Guo Fei even more shocked.
"Old ghost, how to deal with the predicament!" Guo Fei was fleeing for his life, and the situation was precarious, when suddenly, in the military symbol space, Tianhunzi "closed the door" ended. Guo Fei exclaimed in surprise and immediately transmitted the current predicament into Tianhunzi's divine thought.
Among all the troops, only the Tianhunzi's cultivation is the strongest, and there should be a way to deal with the Ling tribe.
"Heh heh. Five Spirit Tribe Knights, also rushing over to send themselves to their deaths."
"You've got a way!" Guo Fei exclaimed with great joy.
"If I hadn't gone into seclusion beforehand, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible. This time in seclusion, I've unblocked the meridians throughout my body and completely refined this corpse puppet. I've truly reached the Ghost King level and can now fly through the air at will. Although these five people are extremely formidable, especially that Jiang Huan, who's probably on the verge of entering the Spirit Venerable realm. According to the common saying on the mainland, a Spirit Clan member is generally one level higher than other cultivators and can easily kill them. However, this depends on the situation - brute force won't work, but we can use strategy. If I catch them off guard, I'm confident that a sneak attack will allow me to heavily injure them."
"Alright, as long as you can re-injure Jiang Huan, we'll have a chance of success. I'll cooperate with you." Guo Fei's mind flowed with thoughts.
"Halt!" Guo Fei rushed to a hill outside the dense forest and shouted loudly into the sky.
"You're willing to surrender now!" Jiang Huan stopped in mid-air and coldly said to Guo Fei.
"Aren't you looking for me? I know I'm no match for you, I'll go with you." Guo Fei gave up his resistance and said in a low voice.
"Kid, what kind of crazy idea have you come up with?" Jiang Huan asked cautiously, looking at Guo Fei.
"Haha. Even spiritual beings have times when they are afraid, I'm just a low-level cultivator, to be able to make you all fearful, even in death it's glorious." Guo Fei laughed loudly towards the sky.
"Third Young Master, I'll go capture him," a knight beside Jiang Huan said angrily.
"Wait a minute, just now he had a group of subordinates, seemingly like war ghosts, and there was also a demon beast. In an instant, they all disappeared. We must be careful." Jiang Huan said in a low voice.
"It's definitely the equipment of the Storage Beast and the Necromancer, these ghostly objects can barely deal with human cultivators, let alone us Spirit Clan, it's simply seeking one's own destruction." The Spirit Clan warrior said with extreme pride.
"Hehe, I was too cautious. Even if there's something strange, how big of a wave can he stir up?" Jiang Huan's heart stirred, and he nodded, urging the Thunder Leopard to fly towards Guo Fei with lightning speed, with the four people closely following behind.
"Little one, put me behind Jiang Huan, I want him to regret provoking me, Tianhunzi." In the space of the military seal, Tianhunzi gritted his teeth and said. He knew that Guo Fei could instantly release them, which was an incredible skill that should not be underestimated. Instant appearance was equivalent to instant movement, a skill that even Tianhunzi himself found astonishing.
From the tone of Tianhunzi, Guo Fei knew that he was still resentful about being injured by Jiang Huan's eighteen riders' formation in Hei Bi. In fact, Guo Fei didn't say it explicitly, but according to the current level of the military symbol space, it wasn't possible for them to be instantly moved to a designated location regardless of distance.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters. When the Thunder Leopard was forty meters away from Guo Fei, Guo Fei let out a sigh of relief in his heart. After the upgrade of the military symbol space, the distance for deploying troops is now fifty meters. Just enough to cover the unmanned aerial vehicle within range.
"Ready, go!" Guo Fei's spirit flowed freely, notifying Gui Wang Tianhunzi, and instantly releasing him.
"Boom!" Tianhunzi appeared behind Jiang Huan in an instant, having prepared for a long time. With his body's extraordinary hardness, almost becoming a silver corpse, he was extremely powerful and struck Jiang Huan's back with a fierce blow. This strike was earth-shattering, and even a Ghost King's sneak attack would be unbearable for a top master of the Martial Arts Hall. Jiang Huan was directly knocked off his mount, the Lei Bao, and fell from the air like a giant boulder, deeply embedding himself into the rocky hillside, where he was buried.
At the same time, Guo Fei summoned two battle teams and Double-Headed Crocodile in an instant. Especially the two battle teams, Guo Fei directly summoned them beside the Ling tribe warriors. As soon as they came out, these ghost soldiers hugged the Ling tribe knights. Following Guo Fei's instructions, they used a grappling technique similar to "ruffian" and three people hugged one Ling tribe knight, pulling him off the Thunder Leopard and pressing him to the ground.
After the double-headed python emerged, its massive body launched a fierce attack on the Thunder Leopard. Guo Fei also transformed into Sword Guard, using all his might to instantly unleash all six "Sword Edge Slashes" at the unprepared Thunder Leopard in mid-air.
This string of actions was too sudden, first Jiang Huan was knocked to the ground, almost at the same time the Ghost Soldier Squad appeared around the body of the Thunder Leopard Knights, pulling them down to the ground, then the giant body of the Double-Headed Python attacked two of the Thunder Leopards, and Guo Fei's sword edge attacked three of the Thunder Leopards. All actions happened at once.
