Chapter 446: Lei Qianjue, Mo Wuxin, Death
The next second.
Boom——!!!
Gu Yuan (clone) moved!
The gray-black annihilation source power surged skyward like a volcanic eruption, forming a terrifying demonic shadow a hundred zhang tall, casting the entire Gengjin Immortal Abyss into pitch darkness.
"How terrifying the demonic might!" Lei Qianjue and Mo Wuxin, seeing this, felt greatly reassured.
"Brother Gu Yuan, this guy's law is strange; don't clash with him using Dao arts—use your physical strength to crush him in close combat! We'll cover you from the side, looking for an opening!"
Lei Qianjue shouted loudly, while secretly beginning to gather the remaining immortal essence in his body, ready to swoop in for any scraps at any moment.
"Good... let's go together."
The clone hoarsely let out a chilling, sinister laugh.
Bang!
He slammed his legs into the ground, and the hard Gengjin rock at the valley bottom instantly collapsed into a pit. His whole body shot forth like a black meteor, bearing the power to destroy heaven and earth, straight toward Gu Yuan!
"Good timing!"
Gu Yuan deliberately shouted loudly, putting on a look of facing a formidable foe.
He swiftly formed hand seals, and instantly three golden shields of pure Gengjin law condensed before him.
Boom!
The clone's iron fist, wrapped in annihilation source power, slammed heavily into the first shield.
Crack! The shield shattered!
Immediately after came the second and third!
"This demon's physical body is truly overbearing!"
Lei Qianjue, watching from behind, felt his blood boil: "Now! Mo Wuxin, attack!"
"Hehe, watch my move!"
Mo Wuxin endured his injuries and again unleashed several sinister demonic Dao treasures, turning them into streaks of dark light that shot toward Gu Yuan's (true body) back.
Lei Qianjue also condensed a slightly smaller Thunder-Punishment Spear, ready to find an opportunity for a sneak attack.
However, just as Lei Qianjue and Mo Wuxin thought victory was in hand, preparing to cooperate with the clone to slay the true body...
The clone, which had been fiercely clashing with the true body, suddenly stalled in its movement.
The punch he had originally aimed at the true body's face strangely veered off in mid-air.
"All transformations return to the origin!"
Accompanied by a cold, low growl, Gu Yuan's figure instantly vanished from before the true body, appearing like a teleport directly behind Mo Wuxin, who was preparing to sneak attack.
"What?!"
Mo Wuxin turned pale with shock; he never expected that this lackey of Hun Yuan Xue would suddenly abandon his target and turn on himself.
But it was already too late for him to react.
Gu Yuan's (clone) hands, covered in gray-black demonic patterns, clamped down like iron vices on Mo Wuxin's crown.
"What... what are you doing?! We're on the same side!"
Mo Wuxin screamed in terror, feeling his immortal essence rapidly draining away.
"On the same side?"
Gu Yuan's (clone) leaned close to his ear, his hoarse voice like a death god's whisper: "Sorry, I only like to eat alone."
"Aaaah——!"
A shrill scream echoed in the depths of the Immortal Abyss. In just three breaths, this top talent of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, following in Yao Qinglian's footsteps, was sucked dry by Gu Yuan's clone into a desiccated corpse, then kicked apart into powder by a foot.
This scene happened too fast, too suddenly.
Lei Qianjue held his Thunder-Punishment Spear, frozen in place, utterly dumbfounded.
Hun Yuan Xue also widened her eyes and shouted:
"Gu Yuan! What are you doing?! I, the miss, told you to attack that black-robed person—why did you kill Mo Wuxin?!"
Having drained Mo Wuxin, the clone's demonic aura grew stronger; it slowly turned its head toward Lei Qianjue, the corner of its mouth curling into a strange arc.
"Miss, don't rush; this black-robed person is too strong—I need to... replenish a bit before I can defeat him."
Before the words even finished, the clone's gaze locked firmly onto Lei Qianjue.
"You... you don't come over!"
Lei Qianjue finally reacted at this moment.
Damn, this is hardly coming to help!
This is clearly coming to eat people!
This demon is completely uncontrollable!
He without hesitation crushed the life-saving jade talisman he had been clutching.
That was a life-saving trump card bestowed by the Thunder Emperor Ancestor, containing a trace of the Colossal Immortal King's spatial translocation power, enough to let him instantly escape the fourth layer!
Hum!
A mysterious spatial undulation instantly enveloped Lei Qianjue.
"Want to run?"
Just then, Gu Yuan's true body, who had been standing aside watching the show, suddenly let out a cold chuckle.
He raised his hand and gently grasped the space where Lei Qianjue was.
"Spacetime, seal."
Hum——!
That spatial power of the Colossal Immortal King, which was about to tear open the void, froze like ice water under the true body's grasp, instantly coming to a halt.
Lei Qianjue's figure appeared in midair, he kept his fleeing posture, his eyes filled with despair.
"No…… this is impossible! This is the trump card my grandfather gave me, you…… who exactly are you?!"
Gu Yuan's main body did not answer him.
Because Gu Yuan's avatar had already arrived.
The thunder law origin of the ninety-eight immortal veins definitely tastes good.
The avatar's gray-black big hand mercilessly pierced Lei Qianjue's chest, directly grabbing the True Immortal Dao Fruit within him that flashed with purple-black lightning.
"No! I am the heir of the Lei Emperor Clan! You dare kill me, my grandfather……"
"Pfft!"
Lei Qianjue's threat came to an abrupt halt.
His Dao Fruit was crushed by the avatar, the vast thunder law origin mixed with vital essence was frenziedly devoured by the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin Art.
Watching Lei Qianjue also turn into a desiccated corpse before his eyes.
Feng Lingyun, who had been hiding far away, could no longer control her inner fear.
She hesitated not at all, directly burning the origin of the ninety-eight immortal veins, turning into an invisible gust of wind, she fled with all her might toward above Xianyuan.
Gu Yuan's main body glanced at the direction Feng Lingyun fled, and did not intercept.
"We must leave a survivor to spread the news, otherwise no one will watch this show."
Gu Yuan thought to himself.
Moreover, his intuition told him.
That Feng Lingyun is problematic!
At this moment, the entire valley bottom only had Gu Yuan's main body, Gu Yuan's avatar, and the terrified Hun Yuan Xue.
Hun Yuan Xue looked at the two desiccated corpses on the ground, then at the avatar emanating terrifying demonic might as it slowly walked toward her, her legs went weak.
"Yuan…… you…… you don't act recklessly! I am your master! My father is the Huntian Immortal King!"
She shouted sternly but inwardly timid.
Gu Yuan walked up to her, stopped, his gray-black eyes stared at her for a long time.
Just as Hun Yuan Xue thought she too would be drained dry.
The avatar's voice returned to that stiff respect: "Miss, you were startled. The flies have been cleaned up; now it's time to deal with the main target."
After saying that, the avatar turned around and faced Gu Yuan's main body again.
Hun Yuan Xue let out a long sigh of relief, plopped onto the ground, her back soaked with cold sweat.
Fortunately, this demon still recognized him as its master.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan's main body watched the avatar kneeling on one knee, the face under the hood twitching wildly, barely suppressing laughter.
"Alright, the act is almost over, the White Tiger Secret Key is beneath the eye of the formation in this Gengjin Immortal Vein, go get it."
The main body issued an order to the avatar via divine sense.
"Yes, main body."
To outsiders, Gu Yuan's avatar and the mysterious black-robed person were engaged in a silent clash of aura.
But in fact, Gu Yuan's avatar had already turned and punched, shattering the core of the Gengjin Immortal Vein.
A brilliant white light shot up into the sky, transforming into an ancient simple jade key engraved with a White Tiger totem, which fell into the avatar's hand.
"Miss, the White Tiger Secret Key is in hand."
The avatar handed the secret key to Hun Yuan Xue.
Hun Yuan Xue blankly received the secret key, looked at the avatar, then at the distant black-robed person who had not made a move, her mind in utter confusion.
"Why…… why isn't he making a move?" Hun Yuan Xue pointed at Gu Yuan's main body.
The avatar hoarsely said: "He knows he can't defeat me, he's already conceded. Miss, let's go, let's look for the next secret key."
After saying that, the avatar grabbed Hun Yuan Xue, turned into a demonic light, and shot out of the Gengjin Xianyuan.
Leaving Gu Yuan's main body alone standing in the valley bottom, watching their departing direction, he shook his head helplessly.
"This avatar, its pretentiousness is even stronger than mine."
He put away his pickaxe, sucked the remaining half of the supreme Gengjin Immortal Vein into his inner world, then flashed and disappeared once more into the darkness.
"Next, we should see who holds the other three secret keys."
