Fang Yuan activated his strongest offensive means!
Amidst the roar of dragons, silver scales spread like a sea. Myriad flood dragons surged forth, converging ferociously upon the solitary Jing Lan at the center of the deep pit below.
"D-damn it..." Jing Lan ground her teeth, the fury in her eyes blazing like raging flames.
After that last strike, her aura had plummeted to rock bottom. The myriad flood dragons pounced, and she annihilated them all.
"Those little worms are nothing! Fang Yuan, you coward — come out and fight me with your true body!" Jing Lan roared.
Fang Yuan sneered. His true body remained hidden in a corner, deeply concealed.
Myriad Flood Dragons!
Myriad Flood Dragons!
Myriad Flood Dragons!
Myriad Flood Dragons...
Immortal Essence was consumed without regard for cost as Fang Yuan frantically activated the Myriad Flood Dragons killer move.
Jing Lan's aura plummeted as she roared again and again, constantly goading Fang Yuan, but he simply refused to reveal his true body.
Myriad Flood Dragons was a peak Seventh Transformation killer move, but against Jing Lan, it truly amounted to nothing.
After all, Jing Lan still possessed abundant Immortal Essence, and none of her Immortal Gu had been lost. But every time she used a killer move, she had to endure the backlash of the World Wall.
Though she had methods to mitigate this backlash, in her current state of grave injury, it became critically dangerous.
Don't forget — she also had to tend to her own healing. But the wounds she bore were hardly so easy to mend.
When a Gu Immortal was injured, dealing with the aftermath was extremely difficult. Fang Yuan's Supreme Immortal Body was truly one of a kind under heaven.
Seeing that she couldn't lure out Fang Yuan's true body, Jing Lan gave a cold snort and chose to break through.
Myriad Flood Dragons could not stop her at all, not even with her grave injuries. This was the Lightning Ghost True Monarch who had once been able to resist Ghostly Demon Venerable — her battle strength was absolutely world-shaking!
Fang Yuan sighed, knowing full well that while his strength lay in defense and his combat power could barely reach the Eighth Transformation level, against someone like Jing Lan, he could not take her life.
Gu Immortals who had reached this level were not easy to bring down. Unless one had laid an ambush beforehand, trapping the target within an Immortal Battlefield killer move, and ensuring the Gu Immortal was eliminated before the battlefield move was broken.
Of course, from another angle — Fang Yuan could not kill Jing Lan, but neither could Jing Lan kill Fang Yuan. Even with her superior speed, she could not prevent him from slipping into the World Wall.
But even so, Fang Yuan understood clearly: even though he couldn't kill Jing Lan, he still had to press the pursuit.
"I must weaken this person's combat strength as much as possible, to buy myself critical time for what lies ahead." At this thought, Fang Yuan pointed a finger.
Immortal Killer Move — Chaotic Direction Mist!
The original Chaotic Direction Mist was a purple fog, modest in scale, but capable of disorienting Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals.
After Fang Yuan's first modification, the move became ineffective against Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, but its potency against Seventh Transformation and below increased several-fold. Not only did its color change, but its coverage area expanded greatly — though its duration grew extremely short.
After the battle in the Azure Ghost Desert, Fang Yuan's Theft Path realm soared. He refined this move once more, incorporating numerous Theft Path mortal Gu and even integrating the Great Thief Immortal Gu as its core, to steal the enemy's perception. Thus its power surged, and it once again posed a threat to Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals!
In an instant, a massive cloud of mist enveloped Jing Lan, throwing her into disorientation — unable to tell north from south or east from west.
Fang Yuan seized the opportunity to drive the myriad flood dragons forward, surrounding her once more for another bout of slaughter.
"Disaster! So many of my Immortal Gu are missing — and I can't even break this killer move?!" Jing Lan tried numerous methods and was horrified to discover she had no effective counter against this technique.
"Hm? What's going on?" Fang Yuan observed for a while, and seeing that Jing Lan still could not break free, grew puzzled.
This killer move, after Fang Yuan's modifications, had become somewhat easier to activate — but it was still only at the Seventh Transformation level.
Fang Yuan had originally never expected this move to actually block Jing Lan. His true intention had merely been to delay her for a time.
But the fact that Jing Lan genuinely could not break out was entirely unexpected.
From outside the mist, Fang Yuan could clearly sense waves of Immortal Gu auras — Jing Lan was continuously deploying her methods, attempting to break through.
Her efforts were not entirely in vain, but their effect was minimal, only slightly thinning the Chaotic Direction Mist.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with sharp light. After observing for a moment, he immediately and repeatedly activated the Chaotic Direction Mist!
The mist grew heavier and heavier, layer upon layer, sealing Jing Lan firmly inside.
"So she really can't break through." Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. Had he known this earlier, he would have used this move from the start instead of enduring such an exhausting retreat.
