Wang Yu
Chapter 768: Winning by Surprise
With that said, he took a step and slowly walked towards Shi Chuan Kong.
Shi Chuan Kong frowned, but the hand in his sleeve released the Immortal Essence Stone and formed a strange magic seal. A burning pain, like flames, came from his back, and a sealed rune appeared on it.
Once Shi Chuan Kong activated it with his mind, that extremely costly secret rune would take effect. At that moment, it would be his true, and final, desperate struggle.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
Yin Gua's expression suddenly changed. A violent thunderclap suddenly echoed from his lower abdomen, and a dazzling silver light suddenly shone, blazing like a sun.
Immediately afterward, countless silver electric arcs burst out from it, directly blasting a huge hole in his lower abdomen. Streams of scorching silver fire surged out from within.
A sharp screech rang out, and a huge silver firebird burst out from Yin Gua's abdomen, spreading its wings and flying out. After a spin in mid-air, it lunged straight at his chest.
Standing on the back of the silver flame firebird was a figure, covered in wounds, but it was Han Li!
The people around the Spirit Cleansing Pool were stunned by this sudden scene. Ti Hun, disregarding her injuries, struggled to jump down from the wall, anxiously looking at Han Li.
Yin Chengquan's expression also changed, his face becoming very ugly. Old Ancestor Liu Qi narrowed his eyes, his expression more surprised than joyful.
With a loud "bang," the silver flame firebird directly crashed into Yin Gua's chest. Rolling silver flames surged out, instantly engulfing his entire body.
"Impossible, what is this?" Yin Gua's terrified voice came from within the flames.
His body was constantly exploding with Fiend Lightning, but he still couldn't escape the silver flames.
And the silver flames, for some reason, had an extremely strong restraining power against him, just like the lightning in the Spirit Cleansing Pool. The effectiveness of this power was probably second only to the terrifying lightning in the golden thunder pool.
How could Yin Gua know that the Essence Flame Firebird had now swallowed three Seven-Colored Fire Essence Sand, and the power of the flames on its body had already reached the Taiyi Realm level. If it hadn't been forcibly awakened by Han Li, allowing it to truly complete its refinement, its power would have been at least at the late Taiyi Realm.
Moreover, the Essence Flame Firebird inherently restrained Fiend Qi, and its eruption from within him was naturally twice as effective.
Seeing this situation, Shi Chuan Kong and Hu San were overjoyed. Yin Chengquan's divided soul in mid-air had a gloomy expression, while Old Ancestor Liu Qi looked at Han Li deeply, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
As the flames flared up violently, Yin Gua struggled desperately, but to no avail.
At this moment, a black light suddenly shot out from the flames, revealing a four- or five-inch tall, black little man covered in dense Fiend Qi. With a flash of electric light around him, he instantly disappeared from the void.
Han Li and the others wanted to stop him, but they were too late and could only let him leave.
With a "bang," Yin Gua's body crashed to the ground, falling forward and turning into a charred corpse.
Han Li jumped down from the back of the Essence Flame Firebird and, with a wave of his hand, recalled the Azure Bamboo Cloud Swords scattered all over the ground into his body. However, he found that the nine flying swords were all trembling slightly, as if unwilling to return.
He hesitated slightly, sensed it with his mind for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and then waved his hand again, and the flying swords reluctantly flew back into his body.
Then, he casually waved his hand, took the Sky Fox Blood Transformation Saber into his hand, and came to Yin Gua's corpse.
After examining it, he found a white bone token hanging by his side, and casually picked it off and put it away.
The Essence Flame Firebird transformed back into a silver flame doll and landed on Han Li's shoulder, still looking sleepy.
"Master, how are you?" Ti Hun came to Han Li's side and asked anxiously.
"It's nothing serious, I was just burned by the Fiend Lightning, and my internal organs are a little shaken. How about you, how are your injuries?" Han Li shook his head and said.
"Master... he still seems to want to use my supernatural powers and didn't try to kill me, so my injuries are not serious," Ti Hun said bitterly.
"Brother Li, now is not the time to relax. We still need to help Old Ancestor over there," Hu San stepped forward quickly, his face full of worry, and called out.
Han Li moved his eyes and saw that without Ti Hun's help, the situation that had been barely suppressed had suddenly changed, and Yin Chengquan's divided soul had clearly gained the upper hand.
"Master, I'll go help," Ti Hun said immediately.
"Don't rush, Old Ancestor Liu Qi can still hold on for a while. Let's hurry up and recover our injuries, replenish our Immortal Spiritual Power, and then work together to cut off the third chain. Senior Liu Qi's strength will definitely increase greatly, and he will definitely be able to repel Yin Chengquan without our help," Han Li waved his hand and said.
"These four chains are stronger than the other. Brother Li, are you really confident that you can cut them off?" Hu San asked, his eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry, after being washed by the Silver Thunder Pool, I am 70% sure that I can cut off that silver chain with one blow. But the premise is that we all have to replenish as much Immortal Spiritual Power as possible," Han Li said, his expression unchanged.
"Let's listen to Fellow Daoist Li," Shi Chuan Kong also said.
Hearing this, Hu San stopped talking, and the others sat down cross-legged and began to adjust their breathing quickly.
……
On the other side, the meeting place in the Drowned Lake area.
Yin Chengquan, who had left midway, returned to the meeting place. Since sitting down, he had appeared to be his usual self, but the expression in his eyes was always uncertain, looking like he was preoccupied with something.
The atmosphere in the meeting place was still not improving, and it seemed a bit awkward.
"Domain Lord Yin, the meeting has been discussed to this point, and it is meaningless to continue this stalemate. Why not take a vote as soon as possible?" Huangfu Yu frowned slightly and said.
Yin Chengquan seemed to have not heard at all, just gently rotating the gray ring on his left little finger, lost in thought.
"Domain Lord Yin, what Palace Lord Huangfu said is reasonable. At this moment, all the disputed issues have been discussed, so let's start voting," Xiao Buye raised his voice a little and said.
After being reminded by him, Yin Chengquan seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, put on a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, you two. According to the agenda of the conference, it is not yet time to vote. Let's wait a little longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the right hand rotating the gray ring seemed to be electrocuted, suddenly shrank and was put into his sleeve.
A look of unbelievable surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked down at the ring on his left hand in his sleeve, only to find that the silver horizontal pattern on it trembled fiercely.
Yin Chengquan concealed this series of actions very well, but still failed to escape Huangfu Yu's attention.
The latter was also surprised and suspicious in his heart. He was extremely vigilant about this alliance, and had long been guarding against the Nine Serenities Clan suddenly using some behind-the-scenes tricks. However, the meeting had progressed to the present, and apart from the previous abnormalities, no changes had occurred. On the contrary, Yin Chengquan looked uneasy, as if the Nine Serenities Clan themselves had a lot of troubles.
Yin Chengquan rubbed his hand in his sleeve and was about to get up when his expression changed again.
The degree of shock this time far exceeded the previous one, so that he even forgot to conceal the change in his expression.
"What's wrong, Domain Lord Yin? Could it be that there is another change in the Spirit Cleansing Area? If the people of your clan can't handle it, why not invite the Domain Lords present to go together to help you eliminate your worries, and it will also be able to unite the various domain tribes," Huangfu Yu said with a smile, his heart slightly moved.
"In my Nine Serenities Clan's Asura City, if there are still things that we can't solve ourselves, wouldn't it be a joke for everyone to see? I was just thinking about Fellow Daoist Huangfu's previous proposal..." Yin Chengquan's expression returned to normal and he said.
Huangfu Yu's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked through voice transmission:
"Jiao San, have you found out any news from the wedge you buried in Asura City?"
"It's about the same as the previous news. It only said that there was a big change in the Spirit Cleansing Area. Even the nearby Tartarus Underworld Area, Hundred Treasure Area, and Bitter River Area have all started city defense restrictions. The Grand Luo cultivator Yin Lin, who is stationed in his Bitter River Area, has also rushed to the Spirit Cleansing Area, and the movement over there seems to be getting bigger and bigger," Jiao San replied through voice transmission, his expression unchanged.
"No wonder Yin Chengquan's attitude has changed. It seems that he is really anxious," Huangfu Yu said with a smile through voice transmission.
"What, Domain Lord Yin, do you want to adopt Domain Lord Huangfu's suggestion and vote now?" Xiao Buye asked, raising his eyebrows.
"The conference process is not over, and the opinions of all parties are not unified. I don't think now is the best time to vote. Why don't we put the dispute aside for the time being, and choose a auspicious day later to discuss it again? After all, this matter concerns the future development of our Gray World, so we should not be too hasty," Yin Chengquan said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Huangfu Yu had not spoken yet, Xiao Buye had already exclaimed that it was inappropriate.
"Domain Lord Yin, your Asura City is not a scenic spot. Coming here once is not a long journey, but it is really not easy. After all, it costs a lot to gather so many Domain Lords and Clan Chiefs together. If we come again, I am afraid that the prestige of our three domains will be greatly reduced," he said, shaking his hands repeatedly.
"Domain Lord Xiao is overthinking. If we discuss it again next time, how can we still be led by our Nine Serenities Domain? Naturally, we will bring people to your Black Rope Domain to attend the meeting," Yin Chengquan avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial, and said.
"Domain Lord Yin, it would be too much trouble to do so. We are not in a hurry for this moment. We can extend the meeting, as long as we can discuss a resolution that most people are convinced of, it doesn't matter if we wait a few more days," Huangfu Yu also suddenly changed his previous attitude at this time and said.
Yin Chengquan raised his eyebrows imperceptibly when he heard this, an unhappy look flashed away, and he turned his eyes to Xiao Buye again.
"Domain Lord Xiao, what do you think?" he asked.
Xiao Buye found that the attitudes of the two people had changed, and they had all made a 180-degree turn, and he understood the current situation.
"Well, what the two of you said makes sense. However... the three parties in our Gray World have been divided for a long time, and there is still no conclusion on the Immortal World, which makes the people of each domain panic. This is not a good thing after all. I am worried that if we continue to delay, the rift will only get bigger and bigger. At that time, it will be difficult to make amends, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible and not choose another day," Xiao Buye pretended to be thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and said this set of arguments that he had already thought of.
