The third ancient Eagle Dog had an Immortal Gu hidden on its body.
If not for that, how could it possibly have blocked Fang Yuan's Immortal Level Killer Move, Life-Claiming Sword Trail?
Fang Yuan's heart immediately burned with excitement.
Things were different now.
If this were before he inherited Hei Fan's True Inheritance, facing this pack of Eagle Dogs, Fang Yuan would likely have retreated without hesitation. But now, with his explosive growth in strength, his mindset had shifted.
He planned to devour this entire pack of Eagle Dogs in one gulp!
"My Supreme Immortal Aperture is more than large enough!" The corner of Fang Yuan's lips curled slightly upward.
"As for the wild Immortal Gu on the ancient Eagle Dog — well, I won't be so polite as to refuse it. A defensive Immortal Gu that can block Life-Claiming Sword Trail — I'd very much like to see how exceptional it is!"
In an instant, thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan's mind and he had already settled on his tactic.
Blood Path killer moves — such as Blood Drift and the like — were not suitable for use in front of the Hairmen Gu Immortals.
These Hairmen Gu Immortals all knew the dangers of the Blood Path and could communicate with the Treasure Yellow Heaven. They were nothing like the ignorant Gu Immortals inside Hei Fan's Blessed Land.
As for the Immortal Level Killer Moves from Hei Fan's True Inheritance, though Fang Yuan could use them, he still had to be cautious. After all, he hadn't practiced them to proficiency yet. Using them rashly could very well result in activation failure, triggering a backlash.
So —
Fang Yuan clapped both palms together and directly chose his own self-created, most proficient offensive technique.
Slave-Force Confluence — Myriad Self!
In the next instant, an ocean of Force Phantoms filled the space between heaven and earth.
"Ahhh!" The Hairmen Gu Immortals were all dumbfounded.
Though Mao Liu wore the same stunned expression, he felt no surprise in his heart.
He had long known about the Myriad Self killer move — this was outdated intelligence.
But then, Mao Liu's pupils contracted sharply, and he blurted out, "Gone — gone?!"
In his perception, Fang Yuan had abruptly vanished. In the sky, it seemed only a dense mass of Force Phantoms remained.
This was because Fang Yuan had activated Meet Like Old Friends, disguising himself as an ordinary Force Phantom and blending in among the Myriad Self army.
Charge!
The Myriad Self army roared in unison, like a torrent cascading from the heavens, pouring down toward the third Eagle Dog.
Brilliance flickered in the Eagle Dog's pupils. Suddenly it flapped the pair of wings on its back, and behind them trailed a layer of dim, shadowy wing images.
Its speed surged — and it actually retreated!
This response was somewhat beyond Fang Yuan's expectations.
Clearly, this Eagle Dog possessed a second wild Immortal Gu. That layer of wing shadow just now was its effect.
"A second wild Immortal Gu!" The excitement in Fang Yuan's heart burned even more intensely.
He commanded the Myriad Self army to continue charging toward the ancient Eagle Dog.
Along the way, the Force Phantoms suddenly dispersed, like a blooming flower opening wide, lunging at the ancient Eagle Dog.
The ancient Eagle Dog let out a sharp cry and abruptly soared skyward.
It actually retreated again and again.
Fang Yuan had long anticipated its retreat path. The Myriad Self army stretched out in a straight line, like a flood dragon — its mouth gaping wide, its tail whipping behind — and the trailing Force Phantoms lunged at the ancient Eagle Dog.
The ancient Eagle Dog flew backward, then suddenly tilted its body to the right and spread its wings. Its entire form traced a diagonal downward arc through the air, perfectly evading the Myriad Self army's line of attack.
The Hairmen Gu Immortals watched with their hearts in their throats.
Compared to the Eagle Dog, they naturally preferred Fang Yuan to win.
But this third ancient Eagle Dog seemed extremely cunning. Fang Yuan's several attempts at encirclement had all failed.
"The ancient Eagle Dog's speed is faster than all these 'Fang Yuans.' How could they possibly catch up?" Mao Shi'er stared intently, watching Fang Yuan fail time and again, growing increasingly disheartened.
Meanwhile, Mao Liu's gaze flickered as he thought, "Fang Yuan's attainment in the Slave Path seems to have improved somewhat. It's about to happen! This ancient Eagle Dog, though fast, keeps worrying about the rest of the pack and only circles near the battlefield — it's about to be caught by Fang Yuan."
In the sky, a fierce battle raged.
Nearly all the Eagle Dogs had taken to the air, engaging the Myriad Self army in combat.
Fang Yuan's focus remained fixed on the third ancient Eagle Dog.
"This third ancient Eagle Dog is highly suspicious!"
Fang Yuan discovered that the other Eagle Dogs were easy to handle — just a small number of Force Phantoms could restrain them. Only the third ancient Eagle Dog was truly cunning, able to see through the true nature of the Myriad Self army, advancing and retreating with perfect discipline.
Finally, with precise coordination, Fang Yuan directed several streams of Myriad Self armies from the front, rear, above, and below, completely surrounding the third Eagle Dog.
"It's surrounded!" Mao Shi'er and the others cheered in delight.
The ancient Eagle Dog let out a piercing shriek, flapping its wings wildly and swiping in all directions with its wolf claws, directly blasting apart large numbers of Force Phantoms.
It had only been surrounded for a few breaths, yet the ancient Eagle Dog already showed signs of breaking through the encirclement.
But this didn't matter.
Because Fang Yuan's true body, hidden among the Force Phantoms, had already closed in on the ancient Eagle Dog.
With sufficient distance, he decisively unleashed a Sword Path Killer Move — Dark Divergence Strike!
The brilliance of this killer move was that it produced no Immortal Gu aura beforehand whatsoever, making it extremely covert.
The ancient Eagle Dog let out a miserable howl as Fang Yuan's strike hit home.
A bloody hole appeared at its neck, blood gushing outward like a fountain.
