"As expected of the Iron Mask True Inheritance." Fang Yuan watched as the Sand Iron Rise and Fall was unleashed once more by Iron Mask God, its power doubling in an instant, and a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes.
He was well-informed about the great superpowers of the Five Domains, since the Shadow Sect's intelligence network covered all manner of affairs.
True Inheritances like the Iron Mask True Inheritance were the signature legacies of every superpower. The Shadow Sect had attempted to acquire them as well, but the great superpowers guarded them with extreme vigilance, and the Shadow Sect had rarely succeeded.
The Iron Mask True Inheritance had never been obtained by the Shadow Sect — they had only gathered some intelligence on it. The core Immortal Gu inside was named Justice, and thus any Gu Immortal who inherited this True Inheritance had to possess a righteous heart and a spirit of promoting good and punishing evil.
Moreover, Fang Yuan vaguely remembered that during the chaotic wars of the Five Domains five hundred years ago in his previous life, Iron Mask God — this Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal — had put on a remarkable performance, displaying combat power at the peak of the Seventh Transformation! However, right now he was still a notch short of that peak.
The wisdom path methods kept running, aiding his calculations, and soon Fang Yuan thought of many effective ways to counter the Sand Iron Rise and Fall.
Fang Yuan chose the most direct one among them.
The ancient Sword Dragon Transformation, combined with Ten Thousand Selves, formed an Immortal Killer Move — Ten Thousand Dragons!
Roar, roar, roar, roar…
In an instant, ten thousand dragons appeared, roaring in unison, sword energy radiating in all directions, silver scales stretching like a vast sea.
Iron Mask God was still brimming with fighting spirit when suddenly a dazzling silver light flashed before his eyes.
"What?!" His face contorted in shock. Looking out, he saw ten thousand sword dragons soaring and dancing, like mountains and seas, charging straight at him.
Sand Iron Rise and Fall!
In this critical moment, Iron Mask God took a deep breath and poured every last shred of power into his technique. Black energy surged and churned around him, forming a violent tide to fend off the incoming ten thousand dragons.
But they held for less than two breaths before all of the sand-iron black energy was swept clean by the silver dragons!
Iron Mask God spat out a large mouthful of blood and hastily tried to retreat, but how could he possibly escape now?
The next moment, the ten thousand sword dragons engulfed him.
"Lord Iron Mask!!!" Tie Ruonan witnessed this scene with her own eyes and let out a horrified scream.
The dragons roared in unison, their scale so vast it was terrifying, seeming to fill heaven and earth. Their might was absolutely horrifying, causing the mortal Gu Masters on the ground below to tremble like sieves, their bodies and minds turning to ice.
Before long, a tiny black shadow broke free from the mass of dragons and shot outward — it was none other than Iron Mask God.
He was utterly spent, his appearance barely recognizable. The iron man form that had stood several zhang tall had completely crumbled apart. Still, the fact that he had managed to withstand Fang Yuan's Ten Thousand Dragons killer move showed just how excellent the defensive effect of this technique truly was.
"Such power!" On Iron Mask God's usually solemn and composed face, a lingering trace of horror remained.
He wanted to stack the Sand Iron Rise and Fall killer move to fight back against Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan immediately saw through his intentions and chose the most direct response — meeting force with force!
The Ten Thousand Dragons killer move was formed by merging two great killer moves: the ancient Sword Dragon Transformation and Ten Thousand Selves. Both the former and the latter were extraordinarily powerful on their own, and after merging into Ten Thousand Dragons, they pushed Fang Yuan's offensive power straight to the peak of the Seventh Transformation!
Had it been five hundred years later in his previous life, Iron Mask God might have been able to stand against this move, but now he was just a notch short.
When experts clashed, the contest came down to the narrowest of margins. Often, even the slightest gap could determine victory or defeat. Right now, Iron Mask God fell short of Fang Yuan in offensive power, and in defensive means the difference was like heaven and earth — this resulted in Fang Yuan completely crushing Iron Mask God.
Iron Mask God could only retreat explosively, pulling back again and again.
His speed was incredibly fast, and even the Ten Thousand Dragons killer move temporarily couldn't catch up.
Fang Yuan had not laid down an Immortal battlefield killer move, so he couldn't conduct a siege against a figure like Iron Mask God. While Fang Yuan could defeat him, actually surrounding and killing him required preparation in this regard.
"Even though I have an Immortal battlefield killer move, I can't deploy it instantly. Eighth Transformation combat power also emphasizes defense. Killing Iron Mask God this time will be somewhat difficult."
A cold gleam flickered in Fang Yuan's eyes, but his killing intent was not strong.
Iron Mask God was a gold path Gu Immortal, and Fang Yuan had little need for dao marks in this aspect. On the other hand, Iron Mask God was also one of the key figures on the Southern Border side during the Five Domains wars who had opposed the Heavenly Court.
"As for these two Sixth Transformation Gu Immortals, hmph." Fang Yuan's body remained motionless, his gaze sweeping over them.
Shang Qingqing and Hou Yao had already been surrounded by the Ten Thousand Dragons killer move — there was no path to the heavens nor entrance to the earth. Their survival hung by a thread, the danger absolutely extreme.
For Sixth Transformation Gu Immortals to face a killer move at the peak of the Seventh Transformation and hold out until now was already a testament to their abilities. After all, they hailed from a superpower and were the elite among the Sixth Transformation.
