I let out a warning, and Old Mo and Xia Qiu Xi looked surprised, both holding their breath and averting their gaze.
They didn't dare to stare into the eyes of those large black moths.
The Gu master opposite them also appeared astonished.
He hadn't expected me to recognize his Human Face Illusion Moths.
"Kid, you've got some knowledge. You even recognize this seat's Human Face Illusion Moths."
"Hmph, so much useless chatter!"
I retorted.
I formed a sword finger and then let out a low shout:
"Heaven and Earth Beyond Limit, Heaven and Earth Borrow Power, Decree."
In an instant, a flying sword unsheathed, pointing directly at the Gu master.
The Gu master, seeing this, was utterly bewildered:
"He can actually control a sword..."
As soon as he spoke, he hastily flipped over to evade.
But at this distance, coupled with my sudden attack.
The flying sword still managed to slash his left cheek.
With a flick of my sword finger, the flying sword returned.
The Gu master dodged to the side, touching his face with his hand.
Looking at the bloodstains on his fingers, he said with some anger:
"Damn it, I'll make you die..."
As he spoke, an extremely powerful Dao Qi fluctuation emanated from his body.
Sensing his aura, I immediately confirmed.
His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Profound Core realm.
His cultivation base was above mine, and judging by the state of his Dao Qi, I deduced he possessed Earth-attribute Dao Qi.
Wood overcomes Earth.
Since he was Earth-attribute, I needed to use Wood-attribute Dao Qi.
I returned the Six-Star and Seven-Star swords to my sword bag and drew out the Eight-Star Wood Sword.
The third type of Dao Qi surged forth instantly.
My entire aura changed, Wood-attribute Dao Qi rippling outwards.
The Gu master opposite me also immediately detected the change in my Dao Qi's attribute.
He couldn't help but look surprised:
"You, your Dao Qi was Fire and Metal attributes just now.
Now, why has it changed to Wood attribute?
You, do you have three-attribute spirit roots?"
In his eyes, having two-attribute spirit roots was already quite rare.
But now, I was releasing a third type of Dao Qi.
And it was the Wood attribute that countered him, making him astonished.
"None of your business."
As I spoke, I charged forward with the peach wood sword.
On the other side, Old Mo and Xia Qiu Xi, having heeded my warning, were not mesmerized by the moths.
At the same time, they had already killed all dozen or so large black moths.
However, over twenty ghost slaves had already pounced.
They could only protect me from my sides, blocking these ghost slaves.
They were now engaged with the wraiths.
We were running out of time; we had to fight quickly.
Break through the blockade of three Gu masters and escape.
The Gu master, seeing me charge,
and sensing my Wood-attribute Dao Qi that countered him, felt a slight pressure in his heart.
But believing himself to be in the middle stage of Profound Core, a level higher than me, he showed no fear.
Clenching his iron hook, he abandoned the Gu master's advantage of long-range combat, poison, and Gu, preparing for close-quarters combat with me.
A head-on clash.
To subdue me in a short time.
However, he had overestimated himself...
"Kid, die!"
The Gu master roared, raising his hook and stabbing towards my head.
I raised my hand and blocked with my sword.
"Boom!" The two Dao Qi collided, creating an explosion.
I shifted slightly on the spot, but the Gu master was pushed back several meters.
The Gu master was filled with shock:
"How can this be? You actually suppressed this seat?"
He looked incredulous.
But I had already charged forward again.
Little did he know that in addition to my Wood attribute, which could counter him, I had also cultivated the Qiankun True Law.
With the Qiankun True Law in operation, my strength increased by twenty percent, allowing me to naturally suppress him.
At this moment, I raised my long sword high.
I swung the sword down, unleashing the "Destroy" technique, the third layer of the Qiankun formation's profound meaning.
"Heaven and Earth Beyond Limit, Heaven and Earth Without Law, Destroy!"
In an instant, a wave of mental pressure washed over me.
The Gu master felt as if he were facing a torrential flood.
His mind reeled, but he also saw my sword descending.
He gritted his teeth, raised his iron hook to block, and let out a strained cry:
"Ah!"
But the Destroy technique, in addition to mental pressure,
also had an extremely exaggerated power boost.
The brilliant sword fell.
With a "boom," the protective Qi exploded.
Under the hasty block, the Gu master could not resist at all.
In this burst of protective Qi, he was sent flying five to six meters away, spitting blood.
He rolled on the rooftop with a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, about to fall from the several-meter-high roof.
The other two Gu masters, fighting my Martial Uncle and Aunt Yunxia nearby, looked on in panic.
"Second brother!"
"Second brother!"
As they spoke, they both disengaged from their fights and rushed to the side to save that Gu master.
Aunt Yunxia and Martial Uncle also took the opportunity to break free from their entanglement.
They killed two ghost slaves to their left and right.
They shouted towards us:
"Go quickly!"
More and more ghost slaves and demon cultivators were surrounding us.
If we didn't move forward now, we really wouldn't be able to leave.
I took a couple of deep breaths; using the Destroy technique had drained too much of my spiritual power.
Now, I had no time to bother with the injured Gu master.
Escaping the Demon Palace was the priority.
"Old Mo, Qiu Xi, let's go..."
I also shouted, then took a deep breath again.
Then, holding the peach wood sword, I continued to charge forward.
Old Mo and Qiu Xi were not yet completely surrounded.
Hearing the reminder, they also began to retreat rapidly.
The ghost slaves were still coming from left and right with "wuwuwu" sounds.
Although numerous, their levels were not high, appearing only as white-clothed vengeful spirits.
At the same time, some demon cultivators also jumped onto the rooftops, blocking our path ahead.
"Kill them!"
"Don't let them escape!"
"..."
Most of these demon cultivators seemed to be at the peak of Qi Gathering and early stage of Soul Palace.
In addition, there were some skinless four-legged monsters.
These things were very fast, and it felt like they had no demonic power, relying entirely on physical strength to attack.
But their biting force could not be underestimated.
A single bite could snap a wooden stick as thick as a thigh.
If bitten, it would either rip off an arm or tear out a chunk of flesh.
The situation was extremely dire, especially perilous.
But fortunately, Martial Uncle and Aunt Yunxia were holding the line.
The two of them cleared the path ahead, killing anyone they met and slaying any ghosts.
With a burst of protective Qi and wondrous Dao techniques,
we followed behind, our footsteps not stopping.
We also continued to fight, setting fires and charging forward.
By now, the area we passed through was ablaze.
The Demon Palace was illuminated by flames.
Having avoided those three Gu masters, and relying on Aunt Yunxia and Martial Uncle to clear the path, we were no longer entangled.
After we ran over two hundred meters.
The two Gu masters who had gone to rescue the fallen one jumped back onto the rooftop.
But I had already created distance.
Now, we were only a little over a hundred meters from the city wall.
However, the nearly two hundred wraiths, zombies, monsters, and demon cultivators blocking our path.
The pressure to move forward doubled.
But these evil creatures were not very powerful.
As long as we pushed forward in one go,
before the powerful evil cultivators or demonic beasts in the Demon Palace could arrive.
We might be able to break out of the Demon Palace.
Perhaps, we could truly escape to safety and leave...
