Chapter 696: Attack

"What?"

This "Thousand-Faced Lord" was greatly shocked, only then discovering that his face had melted like a wax figure...

After the wax figure melted, there was bright red, ghostly white flesh and bone... they quickly decomposed and slid down drop by drop.

Swish!

A figure flew into the secret chamber; it was the real Gui Yannian!

Compared to before, his temples were slightly frosted, and he looked a bit more aged, but the aura on his body was incomparably terrifying.

Entering the secret chamber, Gui Yannian's first sight was a pool of strange wax oil on the ground, and a stone talisman inside it.

"Eastern Zhenwu Talisman?"

He hurriedly reached out, and an invisible force wrapped the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, which fell into his palm: "Ancestors bless, fortunately it's not too late..."

"Wait, where is the thief who impersonated me?"

A martial artist's intuition made Gui Yannian look at the pool of corpse oil on the ground... and he fell into silence.

Today, the Turtle-Snake Sect encountered a sudden attack, he was lured away, and then a Demonic Sect disciple disguised himself as him and snuck in.

Everything seemed to be shrouded in a conspiracy.

The most critical thing was... the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman was exposed!

Gui Yannian's scalp tingled, knowing that if the Demonic Sect failed to steal it and leaked this matter, the entire Turtle-Snake Sect would become the target of public criticism!

Even if he had worked hard for these years to practice the Xuanwu True Art and finally ascended to a realm above the Void, facing the siege of many martial arts powerhouses in the world, he would still have no other outcome than to die without a burial place!

"Go! Must go immediately!"

"The sect can no longer be kept, disband..."

Gui Yannian stepped out of the secret chamber and came to the outside world.

At this time, there were many men in black in the entire Turtle-Snake Sect, fighting to the death with the Turtle-Snake Sect disciples.

Some of them were dressed as monks, constantly spitting out "Delusional Evil Curses," while others were wrapped in a layer of blood-colored armor, able to constantly devour the enemy's flesh and blood to restore their own injuries.

"Delusional Monk, Blood-Glutton Guard!"

Gui Yannian stood in the air, strands of snake-shaped Qi overflowing, wandering across the field.

When encountering Demonic Sect disciples, they would explode directly.

Even if those Demonic Sect disciples had the strength of the Second Grade or First Grade, facing Gui Yannian, an expert above the Void, they were still not enough, and they suffered heavy casualties immediately.

"Sect Leader?"

An elder was covered in blood, but his expression was incomparably excited: "You have broken through to the realm above the Void?"

A realm above the Super Grade could be called a great sect in the entire Daluo.

Although the Turtle-Snake Sect suffered a great disaster today, if the sect leader had this cultivation, he could build ten more Turtle-Snake Sects!

"Today the sect has suffered a great disaster, all elders and disciples disperse and break out... after going out, do not say that you are from the Turtle-Snake Sect."

Unexpectedly, Gui Yannian's next sentence made all the elders and disciples change their expressions greatly.

What is the difference between this and the Turtle-Snake Sect being exterminated?

The key is, even if there are strong enemies, they can fight them, why retreat to this extent?

"Hehe... sure enough, the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman is in your hands!"

Just as Gui Yannian was speaking, an insidious voice sounded almost at the same time.

The world was dim.

No!

It should be said that a piece of darkness descended with bared fangs and brandished claws!

The invisible and intangible darkness seemed to turn into a fierce beast, and one Turtle-Snake Sect disciple after another screamed, directly swallowed by the darkness!

"Void power... Third Grade Eternal Darkness Marquis?"

Gui Yannian snorted coldly, with himself as the center, strands of spirit emerged, presenting the Xuanwu form of a snake and turtle coiling, dispelling the darkness.

He knew that a strong enemy had descended!

Although this Demonic Sect expert was only a Super Grade Void Realm, he had the additional blessing of the "Eternal Darkness Marquis" profession, and his strength was not below his.

In the darkness, a figure wearing a black robe emerged, raising his hand and slapping.

Space and darkness blended at this moment, turning into a strange beast claw, covering most of the sky.

The Ninth Grade profession of the Demonic Sect did not correspond one-to-one with the Ninth Grade of martial arts.

Even for a long time, no demonic disciple could ascend to the Upper Two Grades.

But this does not mean the Demonic Sect is weak!

In fact, the Demonic Sect has always been the first force targeted by the Daluo Imperial Court, and it could even fight back and forth during the heyday of Daluo, occasionally stirring up a few rebellions, making the Daluo Imperial Court exhausted.

Now that the Daluo Imperial Court has entered its final stage, the Demonic Sect is jumping very high, with the momentum to sweep the world!

Rumble!

Behind Gui Yannian, the Xuanwu true form came to life, let out a roar, and shrouded his whole body, making that pitch-black beast claw return without success.

? co

"Xuanwu True Art?"

The Eternal Darkness Marquis was slightly surprised: "I originally thought your Turtle-Snake Sect only inherited a part of the Eastern Zhenwu orthodoxy visualization technique, didn't expect even the fundamental True Art was obtained... Hehe, it seems you were once—"

"—also a direct line of Eastern Zhenwu Mountain? The more direct the line, the more you should be killed!"

If you talk about the grievances between the Demonic Sect and Eastern Zhenwu Mountain, it really has to start from Xun Heihu and the Black Lotus Master.

Even when Eastern Zhenwu Mountain perished back then, the Demonic Sect contributed secretly behind the scenes.

"Hmph!"

Gui Yannian snorted coldly, and after breaking the darkness, he did not invite a battle, but took the initiative to escape.

He knew that the Demonic Sect would definitely focus its attention on the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman.

Now that he left quickly, the elders and disciples of the Turtle-Snake Sect were safer instead!

Swish!

Gui Yannian's figure was like a snake, wandering in the void.

Although the Turtle-Snake Sect was not known for its movement techniques, he had already broken through above the Super Grade, and his speed was astonishing with a casual move.

But just after he flew out dozens of miles, the world suddenly changed!

Swish!

The void fluctuated violently, and the light between heaven and earth seemed to be absorbed by a black hole...

No, that was not a black hole, but a "Mixed Cave," primordial and infinite, like a sea eye of the Return to Ruins, devouring everything nearby!

"Demonic Sect... Second Grade... Return to Ruins Master?"

Gui Yannian's eyes were about to split, and he shed blood and tears: "The Demonic Sect Master actually took action himself, he really thinks highly of me!"

Among the Ninth Grade sequence of the Demonic Sect, only one person has reached the Second Grade "Return to Ruins Master," and that is the Demonic Sect Master!

Feeling the Return to Ruins in the void, Gui Yannian could not escape and was sucked into the Mixed Cave.

Subsequently...

The terrifying tearing force landed on him.

Pfft!

The Xuanwu phantom collapsed instantly, followed by Gui Yannian's right hand...

Rumble!

After a muffled sound, the Mixed Cave was torn open by a Xuanwu, revealing a figure wearing a golden crown, silently watching the blood-colored Xuanwu escape.

A darkness surged over; it was the Third Grade Eternal Darkness Marquis: "Sect Master..."

"He was hit by my 'Return to Ruins Fist'... now his heart pulse is broken, his vitality is exhausted... he can't run away."

The Demonic Sect Master's voice was indistinguishable between male and female, carrying a power that made people submit.

But he didn't move; it was obvious that Gui Yannian's dying counterattack was not easy to bear.

"Subordinate understands."

The Eternal Darkness Marquis bowed immediately.

"Be fast! Otherwise, the Daluo Dynasty and other martial arts grandmasters will react... the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman will have nothing to do with us."

The Demonic Sect Master said calmly.

Watching the Eternal Darkness Marquis drive that darkness away, a strange look appeared on the face of this Return to Ruins Master: "According to rumors, the Eastern Zhenwu orthodoxy is the nemesis of our Demonic Sect... There is a destiny on the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, it will definitely not fall into the hands of the Demonic Sect, and it will also kill Demonic Sect disciples... Wu Qi, you are too dangerous, let you go and test the repulsive force of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman..."

However, he did not follow, indeed also because of the backlash from Gui Yannian.

What's more, there were still experts from the imperial court and major sects who needed him, the Demonic Sect Master, to block and deal with personally...

"Hoo hoo..."

Downstairs of a residential building.

Gui Yannian's mouth and nose were overflowing with blood, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

He drilled into a sewer and hid in it.

In the cold, dirty sewer, Gui Yannian sat cross-legged, and a wisp of consciousness entered the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman.

"Senior... help!"

He looked at the figure on the stone steps, showing a look of pleading.

"Back then, Xia Mang died, and Xun Heihu was also troubled by the thousand-year limit, I didn't take action..."

On the stone throne, Fang Xing's expression was indifferent: "Why do you think I would break the rules and take action for you?"

"Because this time it is the Demonic Sect... If I die, the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman will likely fall into the hands of the Demonic Sect..."

Gui Yannian said in a deep voice, wanting to grasp his last bargaining chip.

"It's a pity... for me, there is not much difference."

Fang Xing shook his head: "Your time is running out..."

"I..."

Gui Yannian's expression changed, feeling his body weakening rapidly: "I will use the last trace of spirit and void power to send the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman away... I ask senior to pass on my Turtle-Snake lineage in the future..."

"This request can be agreed to."

Fang Xing nodded.

"Thank you."

Gui Yannian's figure disappeared instantly.

Outside.

A flash of light shone in his eyes, and a pitch-black catfish as thick as an arm popped out of the waterway and was caught in his hand.

"Go..."

Gui Yannian sighed, stuffed the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman into the catfish's body, and used his last bit of spirit to plant a brand in the catfish's head.

Swish!

The pitch-black catfish was thrown into the water, immediately twisting its body and fleeing the place quickly.

"Go, go far away..."

"Sigh, didn't expect me, Gui Yannian, a hero all my life, to end up in such a state... The one who could leak the secret of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman to the Demonic Sect... could it be him?"

Thinking of a disciple he had once poured a lot of effort into, Gui Yannian felt a pain in his heart: "Come! Demonic cubs!"

He roared, his Qi exploded, and he suddenly broke through the soil layer and came to the sky.

"Found it!"

The Eternal Darkness Marquis was overjoyed, immediately turned into darkness, and pounced over.

At the same time, several more streams of light appeared on the horizon: "The Demonic Sect still dares to be rampant?"

"Demonic thieves, treating our Daluo Arrest Division as nothing, should be killed!"

Unfortunately, just at this moment, they saw blood beads appearing all over Gui Yannian's body, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a blood man.

Subsequently...

A incomparably ferocious dark red Xuanwu phantom emerged.

Its turtle and snake coiled, and what stretched out from the turtle body was not turtle feet, but dragon claws!

Rip!

The claw force broke through the air, directly tearing the darkness.

The Eternal Darkness Marquis screamed and actually vanished into thin air.

"Haha... you will never find the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman!"

Gui Yannian laughed loudly, his body instantly rainbow-fied, like a blood-colored rainbow, surging toward one side.

"Not good!"

"Chase!"

The martial arts experts who arrived couldn't care about the Demonic Sect and went to chase the blood-colored rainbow.

But how astonishing was the speed of the blood-colored rainbow?

It just flashed a few times and disappeared... ===== CHAPTER 697 =====
