Boom!
With a violent explosion, flames swept in every direction.
A scorching wave of heat formed a thick wall of air, violently shoving everything outward.
For a moment, the Gu formation was engulfed in swirling yellow sand and rising clouds of dust.
The dust gradually settled, revealing a lone figure.
It was none other than Hei Loulan.
At this moment, she was gasping for air, her entire body draped in a garment of flames. It had once been dazzling and wreathed in fire, but now only scattered embers remained.
"Even this attack couldn't break through the Gu formation?" Realizing she was still trapped inside, Hei Loulan's heart sank to rock bottom.
The fierce battle had been going on for more than half an hour. Hei Loulan had exhausted every method she had, yet she still couldn't shatter this Gu formation.
As a result, she had fallen completely on the defensive.
In fact, throughout the entire battle, she hadn't even caught a glimpse of what her opponent looked like.
This Righteous Path Gu Immortal from the Southern Border had remained behind the scenes the entire time, controlling the Gu formation without ever showing his face.
"I must admit... Hei Loulan, you are very strong."
"But unfortunately, you don't have the slightest bit of skill in the Formation Path."
"To tell you the truth, even if your combat power doubled, you still couldn't brute-force your way through my signature Gu formation."
The Formation Path Gu Immortal behind the scenes let out a triumphant laugh as he spoke.
Hei Loulan let out a cold snort, though inwardly she sighed: "Not enough immortal essence, all methods exhausted. I never thought I, Hei Loulan, would end up perishing here. Mother... I can't avenge you. Even though the Hei family has already fallen, I never got to personally kill that traitor Hei Cheng. This is the greatest regret of my life!!"
Just then, the Formation Path Gu Immortal's laughter suddenly stopped.
"Damn it!" He let out a low growl, his voice barely concealing his shock.
"A turnaround?!" Hei Loulan's spirits immediately soared.
Then, in the very next moment, she saw a long streak of light suddenly illuminate the dim world of the Gu formation.
It was sword light!
The sword light flashed and vanished in an instant, but it had carved a long white trail across the dark sky.
The white trail rapidly expanded, and Hei Loulan heard a resounding dragon cry, growing from faint to deafening in the blink of an eye.
Hei Loulan's heart shook violently.
She knew this dragon's cry all too well.
The impression it left was far too deep.
Because not long ago, it was the owner of this very voice who had hunted her down. She had been reduced to a wretched state, and only through the combined efforts of Ying Wuxie and the others had she narrowly escaped death.
"It's Fang Yuan!" Hei Loulan nearly cried out in joy.
Never before had she found Fang Yuan's dragon cry to be so beautiful and resonant.
The white sword trail stood out conspicuously against the dark sky.
The trail rapidly expanded, as if tearing open a gash, and blinding light poured in through the ever-widening opening.
"No—!" The Southern Border Righteous Path Gu Immortal who had been commanding the immortal formation let out an unwilling, anguished roar.
Then, in the very next moment, the immortal formation that had been giving Hei Loulan such a terrible headache collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Her field of vision was flooded with light.
Hei Loulan was on full alert. Her squinting eyes slowly opened wider, and once she had adjusted to the light, she found Fang Yuan standing right beside her.
Meanwhile, the Southern Border Righteous Path Gu Immortal was being attacked from both sides by Fairy Miaoyin and Miss Hei Tu.
"Safe!" Hei Loulan let out a turbid breath, her mind finally relaxing.
The joy of being snatched back from the brink of death quickly faded.
With the temperament of a true schemer, she merely glanced at Fang Yuan before settling into a cross-legged position on the ground, actively tending to her own wounds.
For Hei Loulan, the situation moments ago had been incredibly perilous.
The severe injuries covering her body spoke volumes about just how dangerous it had been — she had truly been hanging by a thread.
Fang Yuan did not help her heal. Aside from the Ren Ru Gu Immortal Gu, he had no other noteworthy healing methods at his disposal.
If Fang Yuan himself were injured, then in addition to the Ren Ru Gu Immortal Gu, he could perhaps transform into an ancient desolate beast and rely on its self-recovery ability to heal.
But applied to Hei Loulan, this Transformation Path method was certainly out of the question.
The battle ended quickly.
Fairy Miaoyin and Miss Hei Tu were both powerhouses among Seventh Transformation experts. With two of them joining forces to besiege another Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal, they naturally held an overwhelming advantage.
And this Seventh Transformation Southern Border Righteous Path Gu Immortal was a practitioner of the Formation Path.
Setting up Gu formations was his forte, but fighting alone without support was his weakness.
What made matters worse was that the immortal formation he had set up had been destroyed by Fang Yuan. Once the formation broke, the backlash struck immediately, leaving him severely wounded.
