"Oh, an interesting bug has infiltrated us." The bald man's words were sarcastic, but his serious expression and furrowed brows showed that he was just being stubborn.
"Further words are useless," Ye Yan said, and the five people began to move.
Zhai Xishan swung his ancient halberd and charged at the bald man. Si Yu's weapon was a pair of iron claws, the tips of which were deliberately designed to have barbs. Anyone who got close to him would be torn apart by blood.
Tian Xiaoyu and Tian Xiaomeng, both Gu cultivators, are the most dangerous to guard against. Gu cultivators are not like ordinary cultivators. Once a spirit Gu enters the body, at best, one will suffer from nightmares and fall into a coma; at worst, one will suffer a fate worse than death, becoming a walking corpse. Moreover, it is impossible to drive away the spirit Gu without digging three feet into the flesh. It can truly kill people from thousands of miles away without leaving a trace.
In addition, since Gu cultivators themselves also have a certain combat ability, they also need to guard against the opponent's spirit Gu, making it difficult to deal with them.
However, there are very few Gu cultivators in the world today. They are scattered in the north and south of the domain city. To cultivate Gu, one must first raise Gu. Although Gu is a poisonous creature, only pure and kind people can raise it. Therefore, most Gu cultivators are kind by nature and have their own set of survival rules.
Let's get back to the main topic.
In the blink of an eye, the bald man somehow acquired a pair of arm armor, and with one hand, he blocked Zhai Xishan's attack.
The moment Zhai Xishan clashed with the bald man, Si Yu appeared behind him, and it looked like the iron claw was about to succeed.
"Hmph!" The bald man sneered, his spiritual power surging. He grabbed Zhai Xishan's arm and threw him behind him, colliding with Si Yu who was about to succeed. They were both sent flying.
The bald man wanted to press his advantage, but before he could see the movement clearly, a pit was left on the stone platform floor, and broken stones flew up as he used his martial arts skills to rush towards the two who had no time to react.
Ye Yan appeared quickly, standing in front of the two. He unleashed the blade energy from his Soul-Devouring Blade and used his movement technique to get closer to the bald man. The martial skill and the blade light clashed, and the bald man flew out and crashed into the stone tablet. His clothes were tattered and stained with blood.
The bald man looked troubled, but he quickly adjusted his posture and shifted his target to the two women of the Tian family. He used the stone tablet to rush towards the two women.
With Tian Xiaoyu and Tian Xiaomeng's spirit gu on either side, she nimbly dodged the bald man's attack using her movement skills, and then silently recited an incantation to command her spirit gu to attack.
The bald man uttered a thought, and his spiritual power transformed into several thin threads, attempting to bind the two spirit worms.
The two women of the Tian family were unable to let him succeed, and the spirit gu stopped its attack. Tian Xiaoyu used Tian Xiaomeng's strength to kick the bald man.
The bald man revealed a smile, and the thin threads of his spiritual energy turned around and came toward her.
Seeing this, Tian Xiaoyu knew she had fallen into a trap, but with her body in mid-air, she couldn't retract her foot. What should she do?
"Ah!" Ye Yan transformed his mental energy into a dagger, severing all the thin threads. The bald man, whose mental energy was damaged, cried out in pain.
Tian Xiaoyu opened her eyes and was already in Ye Yan's arms, her pretty face even more flushed.
Ye Yan didn't mind and gently put her on the ground. The battle was not over yet, and they couldn't let their guard down.
"You bug, you've really angered me!" With that, the bald man took out a pill from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. His aura surged, and the spiritual energy around him became restless. His cultivation level had soared to the same level as Ye Yan.
Seeing his actions, Ye Yan's eyes sharpened, and the Soul-Devouring Blade shot out as a stream of light, but it only managed to tear through the bald man's clothes before being blocked in time by his arm armor and falling to the ground.
"Hahaha, has he lost his mind in this panic? He even lost his own weapon!" The bald man laughed out loud when he saw Ye Yan's foolish behavior.
Before he could finish laughing, the Soul-Devouring Blade that had fallen to the ground seemed to come alive, flying up and heading straight for the bald man's neck.
The bald man sensed danger and tried to dodge, but he was still injured; the skin near his eyebrow was cut, leaving a bloody mark.
"Object manipulation technique!" the bald man shouted.
"Kid, I'm getting interested in you. How about joining us? If you do, we'll forget about everything."
"Keep dreaming!" Ye Yan's eyes were full of contempt.
The contempt in the other person's eyes, as if they were courting death, pierced the bald man's heart, causing him to break down.
Just as he was about to make a move, Zhai Xishan's halberd appeared before the bald man's eyes.
The bald man unleashed his spiritual power, forcing him back.
Using Zhai Xishan's figure as cover, Si Yu approached the bald man the instant he was forced back, leaving four bloody marks on his waist and slicing up the flesh along with him.
It turns out that Zhai Xishan's attack was a feint; the real damage came from Si Yu.
The bald man was enraged, displaying the full power of a half-step mortal breakthrough. He grabbed Si Yu by the collar and threw him into the air. He pushed off the ground with both feet and flew into the air, his fists making a loud sound as he was about to hit Si Yu.
Ye Yan was not about to let him succeed. With the help of the two Tian women's spirit Gu, he used the power of a kick to knock the bald man back and save Si Yu.
The bald man got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, seized the opportunity when Ye Yan landed, got rid of the spirit gu, and charged towards him with his fist technique.
Although Ye Yan quickly made a defensive move to block his attack, he was still knocked back several meters. The bald man saw that Ye Yan's hands were empty and sensed something was wrong, but his hands and feet were already restrained by the other two.
Then, with a whooshing sound, the tip of the Soul-Devouring Blade suddenly appeared in front of the bald man's chest, piercing through him, and he fell straight down, his eyes filled with resentment.
Knowing he wasn't quite dead yet, they were about to kill him when they felt a powerful pressure coming towards them.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!" Footsteps suddenly came from inside the cave, and a few seconds later, a man with snake tattoos on his face walked out of the cave entrance.
"Elder... save... save me!" The bald man reached out his hand to the man with the snake tattoo.
"The organization has no need for waste," the snake-like man said. Then, the bald man deflated like a punctured balloon, all his spiritual power drained away, and he became a dried-up corpse.
