Gu Er and Gu San went berserk, blessed by the Law of Ice, their strength increased dramatically. The two attacked continuously, turning the area outside Spring Mountain City into a frozen surface. Many demonic beasts were turned into ice sculptures and exploded before they could even get close.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators, but upon discovering that the two figures had weak auras and were merely in disguise, they all abandoned their idea of leaving the city to fight against the demonic beasts.
Unless it's the very last moment, use ranged spells whenever possible to resolve the problem.
...
On the battlefield, Gu Er and Gu San kept clearing the area, forcefully stopping the ferocious momentum of the beast tide. However, in just a moment, a golden-haired lion rushed out and instantly knocked the two away with a single claw.
The terrifying demonic aura spread out, instantly causing the group of demonic beasts to once again go berserk and continue their charge towards Spring Mountain City.
This golden-haired lion's realm was clearly at the half-step Dao Integration Realm. With a thought, Gu Yifeng's consciousness descended into Gu Er's avatar, pointed out a finger, and merged with Gu San, causing his aura to surge once again.
"Come!"
Gu Yifeng gave a low shout, and the golden lion transformed into a blond man, also wielding a large sword. The two men swung their swords continuously, producing a violent roar.
"Click".
Another violent collision ensued, and the Golden Lion's broadsword rang out with a crisp sound before shattering into fragments that scattered in all directions.
"Mountain-Suppressing Fist".
Just as the long blade of ice was about to slash across the golden lion's face, the free left hand clenched into a fist, transforming into a surging suppressive force. A punch landed on the golden lion's abdomen, and the force of the punch and the suppressive force spread out simultaneously, directly slamming it into the ground.
"roar!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the golden lion immediately transformed into its original form, let out an angry roar, and under the violent sound wave, the monsters in the beast horde next to it exploded and turned into blood foam.
However, before it could roar for long, a clod of dirt instantly fell into its mouth. Gu Yifeng immediately used the Yellow Springs Swamp technique, then pinched a handful and flung it into its huge mouth.
The Golden Lion immediately spat it out, but Gu Yifeng would not let this opportunity pass. He unleashed his Mountain-Crushing Fist, and the Golden Lion's body sank instantly, its form completely restricted by the Yellow Spring Swamp.
"goodbye."
Gu Yifeng sneered, and a talisman floated out from his sleeve. At the same time, the phantom of the Mountain and River Sword condensed in his hand, and he unleashed a meteor sword technique. The talisman drawn on the talisman and the fire meteor burst out at the same time.
The golden lion was severely injured by the relentless attacks. However, as a half-step Dao Integration Realm cultivator, it still had a trump card. It burned its demon core, and its figure disappeared instantly, escaping from the place.
"not good!"
Almost simultaneously, Gu Yifeng felt himself locked by an invisible force, his mind instantly shifting back to his original body. The secret technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones was released, and Gu Er directly transformed into a wisp of pure energy and quickly returned to his original body.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The next moment, a spatial rift slowly opened in front of Gu Yifeng on the top of Chunshan City, swallowing him up and making him disappear from the spot.
Before Xuan Che and the others could react, they watched him disappear and be swallowed by the spatial rift.
Zhuang Qingqian was immediately teleported out from the spatial portal, his brows furrowed.
"Valley Master, who on earth is it that can ignore the city's defenses and come to take Gu Yi away!"
Xuan Che asked somewhat anxiously.
"It's the Dao of Cause and Effect... I never expected that the Hou King would actually cultivate this Dao. The Dao of Cause and Effect is different from other Daos. If it locks onto the Ancient One, then all space-locking techniques will be useless."
"Hopefully, the Hou King won't bully a junior. As a naturally auspicious beast, even if it harbors ambitions, it should still uphold the most basic rules."
Zhuang Qingqian sighed. Now that Gu Yifeng had disappeared, there was nothing he could do to interfere. If he wanted Gu Yifeng to be safe and sound, he couldn't use these low-level demonic beasts as a threat at this moment.
...
At the summit of Spring Peak, in the Demon King's realm.
"Kid, show me what other tricks you have up your sleeve. Otherwise, you're not getting out of here."
The Hou King looked at Gu Yifeng and said calmly.
"Then let's give it a try."
Gu Yifeng looked at the Hou King in front of him. Even just the pressure it exuded was enough to make him unable to move. Since the other party had spoken, he naturally would not let this opportunity pass. The Azure Dragon Holy Armor on his right arm was activated instantly.
In just a few breaths, his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
"A grand funeral for the tree waterfall!"
Gu Yifeng let out a low shout, and his spiritual power erupted instantly. The environment in this space was perfect for wood-attribute power, and endless trees transformed into waves, surging directly towards him.
"Withered".
The Hou King showed no panic, but simply uttered a single word, and the vast sea of trees withered instantly.
"Talismanic spell, Fire Meteor Shower!"
Seeing that one move wouldn't work, Gu Yifeng had no choice but to force it, barely managing to mobilize the power of the Flame Dao, and a series of fire meteors crashed down instantly, but the Hou King remained unmoved.
"Destroy".
The Hou King uttered only one word, and in an instant, his power erupted, extinguishing the fire meteor. It seemed that nothing could harm him.
"Young man, don't you understand yet? This is the power of cause and effect. Everything has cause and effect. The sea of trees is the cause, so its withering is the effect. The meteor shower is the cause, so its extinction is the effect. Isn't that right?"
As Hou Wang spoke, he instantly appeared behind Gu Yifeng. For the first time, he felt a life-or-death crisis looming before him. Overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, he could only resort to his last resort.
A pure bone was taken out and activated directly by Gu Yifeng's spiritual power. The next moment, a phantom appeared, which was a huge skeletal giant.
In the blink of an eye, the skeletal giant transformed into a humanoid phantom, slowly opened its eyes, and pointed a finger, actually blocking the Hou King's actions.
Gu Yifeng activated the Yellow Spring Bone. At this moment, the Yellow Spring Ancient Saint was summoned. With another finger, he was teleported out of this space and his figure returned directly to Spring Mountain City.
"Young Master! You're finally back! That Hou King didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Xuan Che excitedly transmitted his voice to Gu Yifeng, and was quite thrilled to see Gu Yifeng return to the city wall.
"No, it's nothing. I just don't know if the Hou King can handle that guy."
Gu Yifeng patted his chest with lingering fear. This time, it was entirely because he had been too high-profile that he had been targeted by the Hou King and directly affected by the causal path, thus being drawn into the space.
Which guy?
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qingqian immediately became interested. Now that he was certain that Gu Yifeng was alright, he relaxed and asked directly.
"It's a bone I obtained during the trial in the Yellow Springs Cave when I went to Youdu last time. Senior Miaoxuanzi took me to the Yellow Springs Sect. It was accidentally activated during the battle with the Hou King just now, which summoned a skeletal giant to fight the Hou King."
"Without this giant, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out."
Gu Yifeng feigned ignorance and said.
"Skeleton Giant, Yellow Springs Sect..."
Zhuang Qingqian frowned as he spoke, and after a long while, he remembered a possibility and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, it seems the Yellow Springs Sect has really suffered a huge loss this time. Those were most likely the remains of the Yellow Springs Ancient Saint, and you actually managed to find them. In that case, the Hou King is probably in for a rough time."
Zhuang Qingqian said with a loud laugh.
