Chapter 426

Gui Xie gave a cold snort: "You think what kind of person the Ancestor is? Do you really need to use your full strength to deal with you? While the Ancestor is in a good mood, hurry up and get lost, or else I'll make you unable to live or die!"

After saying that, Gui Xie summoned the surrounding Wing Clan resentful spirits to gather, and those few people's hearts jumped.

"Good, we swear we will not speak of today's events, nor will we be enemies with the senior!"

"Brother Lie, take care!"

"You!"

Lie Huo sighed, lamenting their lack of fight and raging at their misfortune.

Dealing with such demonic cultivators and still believing their words is practically suicide.

If they stayed to resist, perhaps there would still be a chance to survive, but seeing them leave the hall one by one, Lie Huo knew they wouldn't live long.

"Keke, you're Lie Huo, right, brat?"

"Senior Gui Xie, you really want to fight me? If I'm not mistaken, you probably only have Golden Core stage strength now?" Lie Huo frowned, golden-purple arcs flashing in his palm.

"Purple Gold Divine Thunder? At such a young age you've cultivated this kind of thunder law—I won't let you live!" Gui Xie's face darkened; after secretly observing them for a while and gauging their strength, he appeared, intending to wipe them all out.

First he used words to drive back those Golden Core stage cultivators, then he dealt alone with the strongest Lie Huo, which he was absolutely confident about.

The key is, since I've been reborn, this news cannot be let out by any living person leaving here to let the world know; otherwise, how would we deal with those damned dogs of the Sun Moon Palace?

So from the start, Gui Xie didn't intend to let anyone else live; he probably already died in the trap he controlled in the Cloud Fortress.

No, they simply couldn't have reached this place.

Naturally, he is now in a soul body state and needs to seize a body to be reborn!

He can't wait any longer; if he waits a few more years, after the Nascent Soul's withered power dissipates, even his soul body state won't be maintainable.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Gui Xie summon the surrounding Wing Clan resentful spirits to charge over, he didn't care at all about their lives or deaths.

Anyway, they're just expendable; being able to consume a bit of that heretical thunder law is also great.

Lie Huo's palm surged with divine thunder; any resentful spirit it touched seemed utterly unable to resist, and a flash of the arc annihilated one!

Gui Xie has been in the ancient battlefield for so many years, and who knows how many hidden measures he's laid in the Cloud Fortress; the number of resentful spirits far exceeds Lie Huo's imagination!

"Hahaha, brat, even if you exhaust all your mana today, you couldn't possibly wipe out all of the Ancestor's resentful spirits!" Gui Xie laughed several times.

"What about this move then!!"

Lie Huo gritted his teeth, knowing the resentful spirits opposite couldn't be endless, but his own mana struggled to sustain the Purple Gold Divine Thunder; right then he made a decision.

Gui Xie frowned, sensing something was off.

In the blink of an eye, Lie Huo before Gui Xie planted his hands on the ground, vast amounts of thunder radiating outward—so much that Gui Xie himself dared not stare directly and retreated a few steps!

And the winged tribe vengeful spirits that had rushed over were instantly annihilated in the wave-like thunder; only then did Liehuo regain his footing, with purple-gold divine thunder spreading outward beneath his feet, yet he bore not a trace of thunder technique on his body.

So that's how it is; one actually used such Spiritual Material as lightning-accumulating bamboo to forge an Accumulation Device capable of containing the purple-gold divine thunder, and then drive the purple-gold divine thunder?

Liehuo's face was expressionless, and the wind chime at his waist tinkled.

Gui Xie chuckled: "Without the purple-gold divine thunder, what do you have to fight the old ancestor with?"

Senior Gui Xie, saying more is useless; I too have exchanged blows with a Nascent Soul True Lord!" Liehuo said coldly.

Hahaha, since you know the old ancestor is buying time, that proves you have absolute confidence in your strength. But....

An eight-winged corpse puppet suddenly appeared behind Gui Xie; Liehuo's pupils contracted: "You! You have refined the corpse of a winged-person Nascent Soul cultivator?"

If not so, you think the old ancestor could possibly endure these long ages.... Too bad the old ancestor doesn't want to become neither human nor bird; otherwise you think the old ancestor couldn't find a body to possess?!" Gui Xie sighed, seeming to have quite an obsession with the human race's identity.

As they spoke, Gui Xie's soul actually merged into that eight-winged corpse puppet; in the blink of an eye a terrifying aura surged forth—although Liehuo's cultivation was extraordinarily high, nearing the peak of Golden Core, he still had to lower his head, straining to withstand not being overwhelmed by the Nascent Soul True Lord's aura!

You brat, indeed not ordinary—openly cultivating thunder arts, but secretly cultivating the soul path, right? Such a soulful physique is probably on par with a divine soul. Tsk tsk tsk, personally burying a future Nascent Soul seed of the Sun and Moon Palace truly makes the old ancestor happy! Heh heh heh!

Liehuo widened his eyes and suddenly lifted his head!

Armor!

In the blink of an eye, a strange soul qi spread from Liehuo's whole body, and five Accumulation Devices flew out from within him—all were Liehuo's natal Accumulation Devices!

That Accumulation Device containing the purple-gold divine thunder was not among them, but at this moment, as the Accumulation Devices continually merged, a ferocious ape-shaped armor appeared before Gui Xie.

Gui Xie furrowed his brow, flapping his wings to whip up a gust of wind!

Only seen, Liehuo extended his arm, condensing a solid shield with one hand, lowering his stance to firmly bear the onslaught of that wind!

Communing ape? No wonder you can withstand it.

Gui Xie's expression changed; within this cloud fortress everywhere are vengeful spirits and malicious thoughts, an absolute forbidden zone for ordinary cultivators. Even Golden Core cultivators are the same—if they have not undergone specialized soul training, or taken some pills to resist distracting thoughts, they are easily corroded by the malicious thoughts.

And those methods can only guarantee lasting a bit longer, but they are not entirely without influence.

Yet after fighting to this point, Liehuo has not only suffered nothing, but is even quite at ease; seeing his armor, Gui Xie finally realized that this person's armor form was actually modeled after the physique of an ancient communing ape.

The composition of an Accumulation Beast armor is either fabricated from nothing, or refined according to existing things in order to gain partial abilities of those existing things.

Take Liehuo's armor for example; it is obvious that at least two of the Accumulation Devices on his body are sourced from communing ape material, and only by displaying them through the Accumulation Beast armor can he resist the erosion of malicious thoughts.

After Liehuo retreated several steps, his expression hardened.

He knew he could not defeat his opponent; that corpse puppet came from a Nascent Soul cultivator of the winged tribe—even if Gui Xie does not understand the winged tribe's arts, by relying on the Dao Marks lingering in that corpse he can still execute techniques to reach the Nascent Soul level!

What to do?

The only option is to lure the opponent into attacking, to see if we can seize this chance to unleash that thing to heavily wound the opponent and then escape.

Gui Xie narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened his mouth.

Ah!!!!!

A wail of ghosts and howls of wolves rang out, shaking Liehuo's ears until they ached; he hastily covered his ears.

Clang!

The ringing in his ears left Liehuo's mind somewhat foggy; before he could react, Gui Xie seized him and hurled him into midair.

Immediately afterward, Liehuo transformed the wings around his body into several beams of light, instantly cutting open Liehuo's armor.

Liehuo, whose body was exposed outside the armor, reacted, widening his eyes and circulating his mana to disperse the light surrounding his body.

"You're dead!" Gui Xie roared, wave after wave of sound shaking the entire Cloud Fortress nonstop, the surrounding metal plates seemingly unable to withstand such power as they fell one after another.

"Senior Gui Xie, you've fallen into the trap!"

Liehuo gritted his teeth, mustering all his strength to pull something out from his bosom.

"You!"

The moment Gui Xie saw it, his soul nearly fled; he had just tried to dispel the technique to escape, but it was already too late.

Boom!
