Chapter 171 All Tactics Converter! (Three in One)
The fifth-rank grandmaster was a servant of Dingyuan Hou Ji Chuan.
A few days ago, when redeeming Zhu Xiuxiu, Dingyuan Hou's son Ji Peng spoke rudely and was slapped away by Gu Fangchen's loyal old slave Hu Wenxin.
Although he didn't die on the spot, it was no different from dying on the spot...
Well, castrated on the spot.
Hu Wenxin, the old monster who had lived in the underground sword palace for who knows how many years, was tricked into becoming a slave by Gu Fangchen. Otherwise, if he were released, he would have become a typical old devil who brought disaster to the world.
He is ruthless and once he strikes, he kills and destroys the person's heart.
Compared with the former Gu Fangchen, Ji Peng is only slightly inferior in status, but he is just as good at bullying men and women, and he has a reputation for being a playboy.
Now that he was castrated on the spot, he collapsed completely and was on the verge of death in the Marquis' Mansion these past few days.
Marquis Dingyuan currently only had this one son. When he heard that something had happened to him, he was naturally unwilling and resentful. When he heard that Zhu Xiuxiu was leaving the city alone for Gusu, he immediately sent someone to intercept her halfway.
He thought that since Gu Fangchen had specifically redeemed Zhu Xiuxiu, he must have some affection for her.
Even if there is no affection, it is still a matter of face.
First control Zhu Xiuxiu, then deal with Gu Fangchen, distract him for a while, and then you can catch him easily by just sitting back and waiting.
The idea is good, but unfortunately Marquis Dingyuan is at the border and the intelligence is updated too slowly.
Even if a few masters were sent over, they couldn't beat Gu Fangchen himself, let alone a car full of fourth-grade masters and a Martial Saint.
The last person who was waiting for the rabbit to come out at least took out a third-grade evil ghost.
The people Gu Fangchen was waiting for were not the ones sent by Marquis Dingyuan.
"Hehehe~"
A strange laugh echoed in the air, startling both the enemy and us.
The fifth-grade grandmaster, the other two grandmasters lying in ambush nearby, and a fourth-grade expert all raised their heads immediately.
When he looked up, he saw that a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds. Blood light spread in it, as if the abyss had descended, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
Then, a huge purple hand that seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun stretched out from the crack, pulling at the crack and tearing it open!
The moment the crack was torn open, a huge vertical pupil with a hint of scarlet blue could be vaguely seen opening in the blood light.
It was as if an ancient demon god cast a glance at him, with an irresistible supreme will.
"boom!"
As the crack opened, the ancient demon god's huge purple hand stretched out from it and grabbed the people below.
The momentum that descended from the sky tore through the sky, and as it passed through the air, it was like a meteor falling from the sky, leaving a long flame tail.
The enormous pressure caused the ground within a thousand miles to rumble and tremble, as if a dragon was turning over, and the land was shattered, shaking and tilting.
It has the mighty power of "the pillars of heaven are broken and the backbone of the earth is severed".
Judging from the aura alone, it is at least second grade!
Even Hu Wenxin and Si Jian were startled and looked alert. Xu Zhenguan, who was driving the other carriage, had cold sweat on his forehead and the sword in his hand was shaking constantly.
As for the Grandmasters on the opposite side, no one knew what they had seen, but they turned pale with fear. They even forgot to say anything harsh, and simply threw away their weapons and armor and fled in all directions...
Gu Fangchen remained very calm in the face of this horrific scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting.
He had used this method before, and he was very familiar with it...
It is the unique illusion array of the "love" way - the "mirage array".
Mirages block the five senses, making the false seem real and difficult to distinguish.
This formation is a third-grade formation, and its uses are naturally far more than the simple usage that Gu Fangchen had at the beginning.
He originally only used it to disguise himself as Qing Jian and Ding Xingfeng to falsify his whereabouts, which was actually a complete waste of talent.
Moreover, the third level is only the limit of the user, not the limit of the formation.
If one has enough ability to use this illusion array, it is enough to forge an illusion that can deceive heaven and earth.
The user of this illusion before him was at least at the third rank.
From the initial "hehehe~" gesture, he could accurately judge which person was in the "love" realm.
Previously, at the Qionglin Banquet, he pretended to be a person from the Dao of Love, which was equivalent to using the means of the Dao of Love to slap the face of the Dao of Love.
These guys who claim to be smart and can deceive the whole world are even more arrogant than the "Mie" Dao. Of course, they are not convinced.
I will definitely come to him to avenge my previous humiliation.
And what Gu Fangchen is waiting for is the person who is on the path of "love"!
When this "mirage" started, even Ding Xingfeng was fooled for a moment. He looked up in confusion, but then turned around and saw Gu Fangchen looking calm and composed, with his hands behind his back, and he just pretended to be calm.
Old Ding raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that this was probably just an illusion.
Facing the falling giant hand, Gu Fangchen did not dodge or evade, but even flew up directly and took out the "Rising Blue Sea" bow.
This bow was also one of the collections that was exchanged with the "tooth maker".
Previously, due to lack of strength, it was kept in the bottom of the box and not used.
Now that he has broken through to the fifth level, he has just reached the usage threshold.
Moreover, this time when he returned to Huangtian City, he pulled out all the "mermaid tears" in the treasuries of the royal palace and the national master's palace.
There are a total of 1,126 of them, which can be said to be all the family's savings.
In other words, this bow can now be used 1,126 times. If more "Mermaid Tears" can be found, it can naturally be used more times.
Gu Fangchen faced the strong wind with her long hair dancing wildly, but she could hear the creaking sound of her bones and muscles coming from under the heavy load.
However, at this moment, the [Daytime] buff of [Waiting to Fly] is in effect, and his physical strength has been greatly improved.
Combined with the super high physical strength foundation provided by "Magic Refining", he can survive even if he withstands a third-grade attack.
Now it's just a wipe, just bear with it.
"Oh! You ignorant brat! You're throwing an egg against a rock!"
A sneer was heard from high in the sky, and the echo resounded between heaven and earth, making people tremble with fear.
Although this illusion was not of the second rank, it had the strength of the third rank. The few masters of the Marquis' Mansion who tried to escape were crushed into meat paste with a "crack".
Gu Fangchen withstood the pressure, remained calm, narrowed his eyes, and shot an arrow into the sky.
The phantom giant hand stretched out to intercept, but the next second, it felt a hint of "human energy" on the arrow.
This "mirage" is of the Yin nature, and what it fears most is the human body's qi and blood. Therefore, as long as it is touched by someone, it will be broken immediately.
In fact, if there is essence and blood, the effect will be the same.
He sensed the "human energy" on the arrow and naturally hesitated subconsciously.
That is the hesitation at this moment.
"call out--"
The arrows transformed from the "Mermaid Tears" that were fused with Gu Fangchen's essence and blood rushed into the sky. In an instant, a huge formation unfolded above the sky, like the floodgates of the Milky Way opening, and rain poured down like a waterfall.
This rain is reddish, and when it gathers together it looks like blood rain—
When passing through the huge illusion, it created many fine holes, and in just a few seconds, it turned into a huge sieve.
The usefulness of the "Rising Tide" bow lies in its full-screen AoE, and the ability to manually add debuffs.
After using it over and over again, this poisonous blood still works best...
"you!"
The illusion in the sky dissipated, and suddenly a scream of shock and anger came from underground.
“Whoosh—”
The next moment, a dark shadow jumped out from the ground and struck Gu Fangchen with a palm.
Dante Xingfeng was no mere decoration. At the same time, he appeared behind the black shadow and punched out.
"Bang!"
A simple and direct punch hit the back of the dark shadow, and it was immediately knocked back the way it came.
A human-shaped hole was punched into the ground.
The illusion in the sky completely dissipated, and the others discovered that the surrounding environment was far less terrifying than what they had seen before.
Basically, those exaggerated special effects were meant to intimidate Ding Xingfeng, a pure martial artist. Naturally, other people were nothing to be feared by him.
He hid underground, waiting for everyone's attention to be attracted by the illusion in the sky, and then he would take action.
But unfortunately, Gu Fangchen saw through his plan as soon as he appeared.
Gu Fangchen took a pill to suppress his injuries, walked over and squatted down, smiling and said:
"Guanyue, I advise you not to move. This is a Gu made with 'heart poison'."
He raised his hand, and the blood-red demonic flower in his palm seemed to come alive, flashing with terrifying colorful colors.
Lying underneath was a fat man with a huge body. He was hit by a punch from the Martial Saint and his face turned pale and he was spitting blood. He was about to escape, but when he heard the words, his face changed drastically and he looked at himself.
The rain fell from the sky and eventually fell into the soil, and naturally fell on him.
In other words... this guy discovered early on that his real body was underground!
Moreover, this guy called out his real name at a glance, which clearly showed that he was not the only one waiting for something to happen, but Gu Fangchen was also waiting for something to happen!
“Squeak…”
At this moment, the parts of Guanyue's fat limbs and body that came into contact with the rain began to develop faint red veins and quickly transformed into red demonic flowers.
Moreover, when he tried to mobilize his spiritual power to force the poison out, the poison became even more active. In an instant, the red lines occupied his heart and veins and filled his limbs and bones.
Guan Yue was shocked.
He knew that Gu Fangchen himself was a victim of "heart poison", but this poison had taken root in him, so it was his!
Something that can be used as a poison or a witch has so many uses...
On the other hand, he could also be the "biochemical matrix" that spreads this poison.
When the others saw this, they felt a chill on their backs and subconsciously looked at themselves, trying to remember whether they had been exposed to rain just now.
Hu Wenxin and Si Jian reacted particularly strongly, their faces turned pale, fearing that Gu Fangchen was not satisfied with enslaving them and would need another layer of insurance.
I breathed a sigh of relief after discovering there were no red marks.
Even Ding Xingfeng twitched his lips and almost wanted to move two steps to the side.
The uncurable poison like "Heart Poison" is too terrible. Even a strong physique like him would be harmed if he couldn't discover and force it out in the first time.
If Gu Fangchen has mastered the method of making poison from "heart poison", it would be too scary. Anyone who fights him in the future will have to be wary of his sudden self-explosion, and they can't even have physical contact with him.
But the problem is...
It has never been heard before that anyone can make "heart poison" into a controllable poison. Even the "Medical Saint" and "Poison Saint" in the history of previous dynasties did not have such ability.
Dante Xingfeng thought that Gu Fangchen came from "Tan Yuan" and had shown many abilities beyond his comprehension in the past, so he felt that it would not be surprising even if he took out another "heart poison" Gu.
When Guanyue saw the red flowers blooming on his body, he froze in place, his face ashen, and he immediately regretted his carelessness.
But if it happens again, his strategy will probably be the same.
In any case, to break through to the level of Martial Saint, one can only use Shinto means, and "Mirage Array" is the first choice.
Unless he knew from the beginning that Gu Fangchen had this trick, he would not be able to directly withdraw from the opponent's attack range.
But he didn't know that Gu Fangchen had made the "heart poison" into a Gu, and he also didn't know that Gu Fangchen also had the "Rising Blue Sea" bow.
This is the inevitable first sight killing...
But Guanyue is not a player, so he has no chance to go back and start over.
He struggled internally for a moment, then heard Gu Fangchen's playful voice transmission:
"Miss Zhu Guanyue, there's no antidote to this 'heart poison'. Whether you want to survive or not is entirely up to you. Think it over before you make your choice."
He lowered his head to look at the moon, curled the corners of his mouth, and said lightly:
"You look really ugly like this. I prefer your natural appearance. Or... I can choose a better-looking human skin next time."
Gu Fangchen turned his head and glanced at Zhu Xiuxiu who had fainted from fright beside him.
"Just like your sister, how pretty."
The fat man below froze, looked up at Gu Fangchen, and his eyes suddenly revealed an expression of disbelief and shock.
This person not only knows her "skin-covering technique", but also knows her origins?!
Ever since she joined the Dao of Love, the first thing she did was to kill the person who led her into the Dao. From then on, the only person who knew her real name and appearance was the Dao Master.
When the Zhu family fell into decline and their property was ransacked, she narrowly escaped, but was deceived by the path of love and became a believer.
Now that her sister was finally able to leave Huangtian City, she would naturally escort her first and kill the shameless guy who bullied her sister!
Therefore, they act impulsively.
Unexpectedly, the other party had been waiting for her...
Guan Yue finally gave up, struggled to get up, took a deep breath and said:
"I admit defeat... How do you want me to remove this poison?"
When Gu Fangchen saw that she believed it, his smile widened.
Of course he...
There is no ability to refine the "heart poison" into a poisonous insect.
He was most proficient in formations and alchemy. Although he had also dabbled in poison, he was not yet at the level where he could refine the "heart poison". Otherwise, he would not have needed to rely on the power of "magic refining".
The arrow that Gu Fangchen just shot was just a cover-up.
The real purpose is hidden in the "Mermaid's Tears".
In addition to practicing martial arts, Gu Fangchen has not been idle these two days. He has engraved a different formation on each "Mermaid Tear" in his hand.
The magical power of "Rising Tide of the Blue Sea" comes from the "Blue Sea Pearl" inlaid on it.
Shooting arrows with this bow can cause the sky to change and turn rain into sharp arrows.
"Mermaid Tears" were originally only responsible for resonating with the "Blue Sea Pearl" and serving as a consumable arrow that was fired out.
But as an excellent spellcasting material, using it only as arrows is really a waste.
Therefore, the most efficient and correct way to use it is to give each "mermaid's tear" its own function.
At the moment of turning into arrows and exploding, using the rain all over the sky, you can instantly form a formation!
Not only efficient, but also concealed.
It can attack and defend, and has various functions.
From a relatively easy-to-use bow, it directly became a top-level artifact!
However, the difficulty lies in the need to adjust the construction of each formation so that it can perfectly combine with the rain in the sky.
This is not a difficult problem for Gu Fangchen.
Players have already thoroughly researched how to use this bow, and figuring out how to change the formation is just a matter of memory.
The "Mermaid Tear" that Gu Fangchen launched just now was engraved with an illusion array.
This illusion array is exactly a modification of the "mirage array", or it can be said to be an advanced version, named "Mirror Flower and Water Moon".
Of course, this name, like "Teleportation Array 1.14514", was also chosen by Gu Fangchen himself.
This "mirage of illusions" is a perfect "mirage" that is not afraid of popularity.
The spiritual power required to activate it is more than that of the "Mirage Array", but fortunately his soul strength is now sufficient.
Mixed in the "mirage" created by Guanyue himself, in the chaotic situation just now, it can be said that he was hiding a tree in the forest.
Guanyue tried to use the "mirage array" to divert her attention, and Gu Fangchen also used breaking the "mirage array" to divert her attention, making her fall into the illusion of "mirage flowers and water moons" unknowingly, and mistakenly believe that she was infected with the "heart poison" Gu.
In this way, the first step to infiltrate the Demon Sect... has been completed.
Gu Fangchen knew very well that when he arrived in Gusu this time, the Demon Cult would definitely try every means to stop him.
Then, according to the habits of the Demon Cult, this group of scattered forces that are not in harmony with each other will definitely gather together, study all his weaknesses, and cooperate with him in the action.
Jiangnan is the base camp of the "Love" Dao, and the "Love" Dao will definitely take action at this gathering.
In this case, he will not play along with the evil cult.
As the saying goes, all tactics are transformed!
This time, he wants to sneak into the Demon Cult and steal their house!
Guanyue floated up from the pit, the bloated skin on his body peeled off, and the sticky blood was pulled down along his wet long hair. He turned directly from a fat man into a pretty woman with gloomy eyebrows and eyes, and even a bit of bookish air.
In terms of appearance, she does resemble Zhu Xiuxiu to some extent, but their temperaments are completely different.
The younger sister is gentle and weak, but the older sister is like a slippery and cold poisonous snake.
But the blood-red demonic flowers on her body still clung to her skin like a cancer, seeping into her texture.
Hu Wenxin and Si Jian watched her kneel down with reluctance on her face, and they both felt a familiar feeling of sympathy...
That’s right! It’s that weird feeling of being taken over the first time we meet!
If they had any memories of being bosses and NPCs in "Mirror in the Dust," they'd understand the feeling of powerlessness that comes with being speedrunned before they even realize what's happening...
Gu Fangchen turned around first and said to Ding Xingfeng:
"Master, you guys go to Gusu first, I'll be back soon."
This is a repeat of an old trick, but since it is a sudden comeback, no one will suspect that he suddenly left the team halfway.
Because no one could guess what he was going to do this time...
"Chen'er..."
Ning Caiyong reached out and held Gu Fangchen's hand, pursed his lips, and felt a little reluctant and worried about parting before they had even calmed down for two days.
Gu Fangchen patted her hands and assured:
"This time, what I have to do is simpler than last time. I will definitely be back safely in three days at most."
"Don't worry if you encounter any problems. Just let Zhenguan handle it. I've taught him everything."
Ning Caiyong also believed him and nodded.
Gu Fangchen warned again:
"Also... help me take good care of Miss Xiuxiu."
His words were meant to threaten Zhu Guanyue, but Ning Caiyong obviously misunderstood and said softly:
"Mother knows that you had no choice before. If Miss Xiuxiu is willing, it would not be a bad idea to take her in as a concubine."
Gu Fangchen: “…”
He glanced at Guanyue next to him and found that the latter's face had indeed turned pale.
In a sense...it's a real threat.
Gu Lianxian opened her mouth, knowing that this guy was definitely going to do something bad again, but this time... it seemed like she was joining in on her own initiative.
Although she didn't want to do anything bad, what if this guy told others about her barking like a dog?
She was completely coerced...
The little lamb closed his mouth again, closed the curtain, sat back in the car, sat still, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending that he saw nothing.
After watching the convoy leave, Gu Fangchen turned his head and looked at Guanyue, saying calmly:
"The Demon Sect's several Dao Masters should be gathering in Jiangnan these past two days to discuss how to kill me and fill the gap left by Gu Yuandao, right?"
Guan Yue nodded: "Yes."
Gu Fangchen said again:
"Take me to the Weichuan Chamber of Commerce."
He even knew where the headquarters of the Dao of Love in Jiangnan was?!
Guanyue was shocked. His original idea of deceiving Gu Fangchen, taking him to the wrong place, and setting a trap to trap him suddenly disappeared.
Gu Fangchen seemed to have anticipated her thoughts and smiled:
"Hehe... Don't get me wrong. I don't want you to lead the way. I just want to use you to prove my identity."
Guanyue is one of the two guardians of the "Love" Dao, "The Moon at the Bottom of the Well" and "The Flower in the Water". They are the two people with the highest status besides the Dao Master.
He redeemed Zhu Xiuxiu, on the one hand, to clear his mind, and on the other hand, to lure her sister out...
There are so many people I have wronged in my previous life. If I really want to make amends to them, I have to make amends to each of them until the end of time.
There is indeed another purpose in redeeming Miss Xiuxiu.
But Guanyue was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little curious and confused in his heart.
Proof of identity?
What identity?
Hadn't he reversed and confirmed his identity as a fake prince?
But soon, she found out what identity Gu Fangchen needed her to prove...
…
Not long after Gu Fangchen and Guanyue left, several figures hurried over.
They were the support personnel from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but what awaited them were only puddles of mud and a messy environment around them.
The power of the "Rising Blue Sea" bow plus the poisonous blood in Gu Fangchen's body, although the power is not actually very great, it directly creates an effect like a thousand miles of barren land.
Several people were immediately frightened out of their wits and scrambled back to report the situation.
…
Weichuan Chamber of Commerce, a secret room.
The Taoist masters gathered secretly again, but this time, there was an additional Taoist master of the "love" path.
The topic was probably getting to the point of "This child must not be allowed to stay"...
The door of the secret room was suddenly opened.
Guanyue, who had regained his fat image, walked in, which surprised the leader of the "Love" Dao, but then everyone sensed Gu Fangchen who followed Guanyue in!
As soon as Gu Fangchen entered the room, he looked at the Daoist Master of Love and said angrily:
"How dare you pretend to be me, you bastard!"
