Chapter 1237
Although Zhanxin's strength is not as great as Gu Ying's, her combat thinking and decision-making methods are quite similar to Chen Xuan's.
Seeing Gu Ying rush towards the eight people who had formed the formation, Zhan Xin immediately made a hand gesture and transmitted his voice: "Don't act rashly. Our goal this time is to delay their progress as much as possible and buy Chen Xuan enough time to break through. Just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is enough."
Although Zhan Xin's cultivation of the path of gods and demons wasn't the renowned Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, she had studied it in depth when she first entered the sect. Ever since she drew down the Taiyin True Water and Taiyin True Fire to temper her physical body, she knew that Chen Xuan's breakthrough wouldn't take too long.
The rebuke from Zhanxin echoed in Gu Ying's mind, instantly snapping him back to reality. He immediately pulled out a box covered in mysterious runes.
"As expected of a woman valued by her master, she can remain so calm and composed even in such a critical moment." Gu Ying opened the box to the eight people from the Holy Land without hesitation.
In an instant, gusts of corpse-like aura soared into the sky, along with the ancient Gu poison he had once collected in the sect's forbidden area, surging forth like a tidal wave.
"Two of our three trump cards have been used up in this battle..." As countless corpse demons and ancient poison burst out of the box, a protective barrier was once again formed around the eight people from the Holy Land.
"Divine sense cannot penetrate?"
"The holy light couldn't be dispelled even in such a short time?"
Their surroundings were completely blocked, and even their divine sense could not penetrate it, let alone control the eight Holy Light Soldiers to surround and kill Zhan Xin and Bai Li who were providing support.
"This is the aura of corpse demons. In the records I know of those skilled in Gu techniques and poisons, it seems that only one sect in the Nine Turns Star Region, called the Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect, is proficient in this art." Senior Brother Qianhe's face was so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it. Because his divine sense was obscured, he was completely unable to control the Divine Light Bow to lock onto Gu Ying and the others' true forms and shoot them down.
"The Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect dares to so blatantly obstruct my Yao Guang Holy Land. Do you really think my Yao Guang Holy Land is easy to bully?" Senior Brother Qianhe shouted sternly, directly invoking the prestige of the Yao Guang Holy Land to threaten them.
Outside, the eight Holy Light Soldiers, having lost their master's guidance, instantly vanished. Zhan Xin and Bai Li immediately reunited with Gu Ying, whose aura grew increasingly malevolent.
Upon hearing the threat from the disciples of the Yao Guang Holy Land, Gu Ying's face darkened. He knew that if he used this trump card but failed to kill the opponents, the Gu God Sect would inevitably face the Holy Land's wrath.
"Hmph, your Yao Guang Holy Land is indeed very strong, but does my Nine Turns Star Region not have any holy lands?" Gu Ying said, trying to appear calm. "We arrived here first, so naturally we have the first right to use the opportunities. We tried to reason with you, but you acted like this?"
Gu Ying's face darkened as he continued to retort, "My lord is at a crucial moment in his seclusion. How can I allow you to disturb him?" By bringing up Chen Xuan, he was implicitly informing the disciples of the Holy Land that his master was about to emerge from seclusion.
As cultivators from the Flame Dragon Starfield Great World, Zhan Xin and Bai Li were completely unaware of the power distribution between starfields, so they naturally couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Hahaha!"
"Nine Turns Holy Land, a sect that has been ranked at the bottom for ten thousand years, dares to compare itself with my Yao Guang Holy Land?" As Gu Ying finished speaking, a sharp and disdainful laugh immediately came from inside the Corpse Fiend Mist. "If Guang Yinzi of the Nine Turns Holy Land were to come and stop me personally, I, Qian He, might give him some face."
"And you, a mere wicked creature, dare to negotiate with a top-ten holy land like mine." Although Senior Brother Qianhe and the others were trapped by Gu Ying's trump card, their tone was still full of arrogance and confidence. "Your ancient Gu poison and corpse evil fusion do indeed have some power. However, my Yao Guang method is just right to counter your method. Just wait, when the corpse evil and Gu poison are completely worn away, that will be the day of your and your master's death."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ying, Zhan Xin, and Bai Li exchanged glances, each seeing a resolute look in the other's eyes.
“Mistress, he’s right. I created this Corpse Fiend Gu to trap the enemy and buy time, giving me enough opportunity to use my secret technique to escape.” Gu Ying said to Zhan Xin. “If it weren’t for the fact that their cultivation method happens to counter my technique, under normal circumstances, even if eight people at the Myriad Manifestations Realm joined forces, they would be trapped for the time it takes to brew two cups of tea.”
"But now, we can only hold them for a dozen or so breaths at most." Gu Yingying's clone was destroyed, and Gu Ying's soul was severely injured. At this moment, he was only barely holding on with that one pill.
After listening to Gu Ying's full account, Zhan Xin nodded slightly, "It's alright, just drag it out for as long as possible."
"It's a pity that Master was in too much of a hurry when he went into seclusion, and he didn't expect that someone would pass the test of this great formation. Otherwise, if he had the Immortal Mansion, Master's second primordial spirit would have been a killing move." Bai Li said nervously, looking back at Chen Xuan's location.
"There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this." Zhan Xin looked at the Corpse Fiend Gu, which was being increasingly purified and worn down by the holy light inside, and knew that it was about to collapse.
She immediately ordered, "Bai Li, Gu Ying, let's set up the Three Talents Formation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Xin closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness instantly appeared above the Purple Mansion Sea within his body. At this moment, a miniature star emanating a cold aura was floating above the Purple Mansion Sea, continuously absorbing the nurturing energy above the Purple Mansion Sea.
Looking at the Great Dao Divine Weapon that he had already refined and nurtured, Zhanxin's consciousness couldn't help but shake its head and sigh, "Originally, your time to fully display your brilliance and emerge into the world should have been at least ten years later, but alas..."
After saying that, Zhan Xin waved to the floating miniature star.
"Whoosh—" Outside, a dazzling, piercing cold light instantly appeared in the palm of the Heart-Slaying Palm.
"A divine weapon of the Great Dao?" Gu Ying was shocked to see Zhan Xin take out a divine weapon of the Great Dao at this moment. "Mistress, if you take out a divine weapon of the Great Dao and use it forcibly now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to advance in the future."
