Chapter 96 The Soul is Targeted
After successfully solving the thorny problem at Ziwu Peak, Gao Huohuo breathed a sigh of relief and then solemnly handed Yuan Kaihe's soul to Ma Ruiyu.
He gave a few serious instructions, saying that the matter was of great importance and no mistakes could be made.
At the same time, she did not forget to worry about Ma Jian, and sent him safely back to his fellow disciples. Only after seeing them reunite did she feel relieved.
Knowing that everyone has their own path to take and the time of departure has come, he said goodbye to everyone and turned around to embark on a new journey with Baihe.
Unexpectedly, just after they separated, the sound transmission note suddenly vibrated rapidly, and Ma Ruiyu's anxious cry for help came:
"Fellow Daoist Bai Qiang, something terrible has happened!
Someone has set their sights on Yuan Kaihe's soul and is now surrounding it with heavy troops, intending to snatch it away.
We are overwhelmed and hope for quick support!"
Gao Huohuo frowned, and after a brief thought, she quickly dispatched personnel and decisively asked the third senior sister to stay and protect the seventh senior sister and Bai He to prevent any changes in the rear.
He took his fifth and eighth brothers and rushed to the rescue like an arrow.
Before leaving, several people agreed that after the matter was settled, they would meet at the dilapidated temple where they had met Li Kaide before.
When Gao Huohuo and the other two rushed to the scene of the incident at lightning speed, they saw that the situation was already precarious. Ma Ruiyu and his group were being suppressed and retreated step by step, and were almost unable to hold on.
Looking up, although there were only five people on the opposite side, each of them had extraordinary aura and strength beyond imagination.
Especially their moves, which were all tricky and unpredictable, came one after another, dazzling and overwhelming.
Fortunately, Gao Huohuo and the other two arrived in time, like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Gao Huohuo's beautiful eyes flashed, and she instantly swung the long whip in her hand, making a sharp sound in the air. The whip shadow was like a snake, which directly attracted the attention of the five people.
One of them laughed strangely and said, "Hey, three more people are here to die, and one of them is at the Foundation Establishment stage. That's quite interesting!"
The five people in front of him were all wearing black robes. The black robes were as thick as ink, covering them from head to toe, airtight, as if to completely isolate themselves from the outside world.
Looking at them, their outfits are exactly the same, and they all seem to hold the same weird philosophy - try not to see people.
Gao Huohuo saw this and yelled at the top of his voice:
"Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Are you too ugly to face people?
Or is it that you are emitting a foul smell, and are you afraid that it will stink up all of us?
It's broad daylight, and everything is bright, yet you're dressed so warmly. Are you worried you'll be discovered in broad daylight?"
"Hmph, you're always good at talking. Let's see if you're that tough."
The leader on the opposite side had a face full of anger and uttered cruel words. He looked so ferocious as if he wanted to eat Gao Huohuo alive.
Gao Huohuo raised his eyebrows, an uninhibited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied in a crisp voice:
"We'll know after trying it. I'm just wondering if you guys are all dressed in black and are afraid that the blood will dazzle your eyes?"
After she finished speaking, she moved her delicate body, and the long whip in her hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, accompanied by a whistling sound, and lashed straight towards the person who spoke.
The whip tip cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Everyone thought that she really wanted to fight that person alone, but unexpectedly Gao Huohuo was as cunning as a fox.
Taking advantage of the close combat, he skillfully stuck an explosive talisman hidden in his sleeve accurately on the inside corner of the clothes of the person next to him.
When the five people gathered again and stood together in a siege posture, Gao Huohuo narrowed her beautiful eyes and instantly detonated the explosive talisman that she had carefully improved.
The improved explosive talisman is truly unique. Not only can the detonation time be controlled at will, but the explosion range is also precisely limited to within a few feet.
It not only avoids affecting one's own side, but also can deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
With a loud bang, smoke and dust billowed up, and the five men were blown to the ground. They were all covered in dust and tattered clothes, and were bruised and injured to varying degrees.
Gao Huohuo saw this, crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and sneered:
"I thought you were so great, but it seems you're nothing special! Just empty talk."
As she spoke, she picked her fingers nonchalantly, and then flicked them gracefully, as if there was really some dust on her hands.
"You're looking for death! How dare you plot against us!"
The five men were enraged and rushed forward again with roars.
Gao Huohuo was not in a hurry. His spiritual sense instantly swept through the five people who had just been on the list in his mind.
Then he closed the names of other people and opened only these five people.
Just when they were about to rush in front of him, Gao Huohuo directly fed five poisonous pills that were glowing with a faint light into his mouth.
This enhanced version of the paralysis pill is the masterpiece of her seventh senior sister. It is highly toxic and dissolves as soon as it enters the throat. It can instantly make all the limbs numb and itchy, and make people feel limp and powerless.
Zhou Mo, who was watching the battle from the side, felt extremely complicated at the moment.
He clenched his fists, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the situation on the field.
She was so nervous that beads of sweat covered her forehead, because she was worried that if she was defeated and killed, no one present would be able to fight against these five evil stars;
But there was a different expectation in his heart. If Bai Qiang died at this moment, no one would be able to restrain him and threaten his so-called "freedom" and "face".
Such conflicting thoughts made his breathing quicken. His eyes moved back and forth between Bai Qiang and the five people, and his heart was in his throat.
Unfortunately, the scene that Zhou Mo secretly hoped for never happened.
Just as the five people on the opposite side were about to rush towards Gao Huohuo like a surging wave, the sharp spiritual light almost hurt everyone's eyes.
A strange change suddenly happened, and they seemed to have lost all their muscles and bones in an instant. Their legs became weak and their bodies collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, looking extremely miserable.
"You...you shameless villain, what have you done to us?"
One of them, holding on to his last bit of strength, widened his eyes filled with resentment and asked through gritted teeth.
Gao Huohuo just covered her lips lightly, giggled, and replied in a sarcastic tone:
"Hey, didn't you guys eat? How come you're exhausted and collapsed to the ground so quickly? Where's that arrogance you had just now?"
The monks around, who had been acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy and on their guard, witnessed this dramatic reversal with their eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
They couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
Is it because my side is too weak that Bai Qiang looks so powerful?
Or are these five people just strong on the outside but weak on the inside and are just bluffing?
Just now I saw them showing off their might and fighting so easily and comfortably, as if they could crush everyone with just a wave of their hands.
But now, after just a few moves, he was knocked to the ground effortlessly by Bai Qiang.
This gap makes everyone look like a bunch of losers.
But in a moment, everyone felt relieved.
Anyway, we are all the same, so no one should laugh at anyone else. We are all equally "inexperienced". Thinking this way, I feel a lot calmer.
