Kill—!
Wu Shuai's roar swept through the boundless winds and clouds, shaking the very heavens and earth of the grotto-heaven.
Many Gu Immortals in Huawen Grotto-Heaven saw their expressions change as they sensed Wu Shuai's fierce might, and they could not help but feel alarmed and anxious.
Huawen Grotto-Heaven had enjoyed peace for far too long — it had never experienced anything like this. Even the current grotto-heaven master, Old Immortal Huayu, was thoroughly shocked.
After all, Huawen Grotto-Heaven was a Letter Path grotto-heaven, excelling at gathering intelligence and all manner of clues. If any outside invasion were to occur, it would surely be detected well in advance.
Yet this time, Wu Shuai's attack not only kept Old Immortal Huayu and the others completely in the dark, but his surprise assault was a grand operation — he had actually teleported Gu Immortals to every corner of the grotto-heaven, targeting key locations and the Gu Immortals of Huawen Grotto-Heaven with a storm of strikes.
It could be said that this surprise attack was an extraordinary success.
Huawen Grotto-Heaven suffered catastrophic losses. Setting aside the carefully selected future talents like Young Master Jiang, the vast majority of the Gu Immortals within the grotto-heaven had been slain.
"Hold fast! This is our home — it must not fall! I have already contacted reinforcements. We absolutely cannot let these despicable, shameless thugs have their way!" Old Immortal Huayu shouted, doing his best to steady the morale.
Then he opened his mouth, his tongue dancing, and continuously spat out character after character.
These characters poured forth like a violent storm, carrying a piercing chill, and swept toward the Dragon Palace.
Immortal Gu Killer Move — Cold Words and Chilly Phrases!
When the Dragon Palace was struck by this move, layers of frost immediately formed on its surface, slowing its speed considerably. The frost grew thicker and thicker, and in the blink of an eye it had already reached the height of a grown man's calf. If this continued, the entire Dragon Palace would be frozen solid.
Wu Shuai snorted coldly and activated his own killer move to defend.
The frost on the Dragon Palace's surface immediately began to melt, layer by layer receding, while its momentum continuously climbed, radiating beams of orange light.
The orange light shot toward Old Immortal Huayu. The old man changed his mouth shape and executed another evasive technique.
Immortal Gu Killer Move — Quick Tongue, Swift Words!
In the next instant, his speed surged, and he dodged the volley of orange light with perfect ease and grace.
Immortal Gu Killer Move — Spiteful Tongue!
Old Immortal Huayu once again unleashed a tide of characters from his mouth. These purple-black words, like venomous arrows, struck the Dragon Palace and triggered explosions.
Boom, boom, boom…
The continuous explosions forced the Dragon Palace to retreat again and again, while vast amounts of poisonous fog seeped into its interior.
Wu Shuai sat firmly in the main seat. Facing this crisis, he remained composed and immediately activated his means of defense, neutralizing the danger.
Old Immortal Huayu truly lived up to his reputation — he was a genuinely formidable powerhouse, and he fought the Dragon Palace to a near standstill, every move met with a counter.
Of course, this was also because the Dragon Palace itself was an enslavement Path immortal Gu house — its greatest strength lay in subjugation. And to preserve his trump cards, Wu Shuai never brought out the Four Great Dragon Generals even though they had already been fully assembled. What he deployed most frequently was the Nether Dragon, which had already become one of the Dragon Palace's signature weapons.
The Nether Dragon ran rampant!
Gu Immortals of the Two Heavens Alliance plundered and slaughtered without restraint!
Wu Shuai was in no hurry at all, because the situation was overwhelmingly in his favor.
Old Immortal Huayu grew more frantic with every exchange. He knew he had already been pinned down by the Dragon Palace, and the only way to turn the tide and save Huawen Grotto-Heaven was to rely on outside help.
But could reinforcements truly arrive in time?
Old Immortal Huayu desperately clung to that hope, yet he knew deep down the odds were slim. He himself carried great prestige, and Huawen Grotto-Heaven maintained close ties with neighboring grotto-heaven powers — but convincing them to come to his aid against such a formidable enemy?
Put yourself in his shoes: if a neighboring grotto-Heaven faced an invasion and begged him for help, and the enemy happened to be the Two Heavens Alliance, even he would have hesitated.
The Gu Immortals of the Two Heavens Alliance continued their rampage unabated.
Beacons of war blazed on every horizon, and the land was steeped in carnage.
"Old Immortal Huayu, whatever trump cards you have left, you'd better play them now! If you hold back any longer, there'll be no saving your little grotto-heaven. Hahaha!" Wu Shuai laughed heartily, utterly unrestrained in his arrogance.
