Kill—!
Wu Shuai's roar surged across the boundless winds and clouds, shaking the entire grotto-heaven from top to bottom.
Many Gu Immortals in Huawen Grotto-Heaven turned pale, sensing the terrifying might of Wu Shuai's assault. Fear and worry spread among them.
Huawen Grotto-Heaven had enjoyed peace for far too long — it had never experienced anything like this. Even its current master, Old Immortal Huayu, was completely caught off guard.
After all, Huawen Grotto-Heaven was a Path of Information grotto-heaven, specializing in gathering intelligence and all manner of clues. Any foreign invasion should have been detected well in advance.
Yet Wu Shuai's attack this time had kept not only Old Immortal Huayu and the others completely in the dark, but the scale of his surprise assault was staggering — he had managed to teleport Gu Immortals to every corner of the grotto-heaven, targeting key locations and Huawen's Gu Immortals with a torrential barrage of strikes.
It could be said that this surprise attack was enormously successful.
Huawen Grotto-Heaven suffered catastrophic losses. Setting aside the promising future potential that Mr. Jiang had painstakingly selected and cultivated, even the majority of the grotto-heaven's own Gu Immortals had been slain.
"Hold on! This is our home — we cannot let it fall! I have already contacted reinforcements, and we absolutely cannot let these shameless barbarians have their way!" Old Immortal Huayu shouted, steadying the morale of his forces.
Then he opened his mouth, his tongue flickering, continuously spitting out streams of characters.
These characters surged forward like a torrential storm, carrying a bone-chilling cold, blanketing the Dragon Palace.
Immortal Killer Move — Cold Words!
The moment the Dragon Palace was struck by this move, layers of frost immediately formed across its surface, slowing it considerably. The frost accumulated thicker and thicker, reaching the height of a grown man's calf in the blink of an eye. If this continued, the entire Dragon Palace would be frozen solid.
Wu Shuai snorted coldly and activated a defensive killer move.
The frost on the Dragon Palace's surface immediately began to melt, layer by layer receding, while its momentum surged ever higher, radiating beams of orange light.
The orange light streaked toward Old Immortal Huayu, who changed the shape of his mouth and executed another movement technique.
Immortal Killer Move — Quick Words!
In the next instant, his speed skyrocketed, allowing him to perfectly dodge the barrage of orange light with ease and composure.
Immortal Killer Move — Malicious Words!
Old Immortal Huayu once again spewed a tide of characters from his mouth. These purple-black words, like venomous arrows, struck the Dragon Palace and detonated upon impact.
Rumble rumble rumble…
The continuous explosions forced the Dragon Palace to keep retreating, and a massive amount of toxic mist seeped inward through its walls.
Wu Shuai sat firmly in the master seat, remaining calm in the face of danger. He immediately activated defensive measures, neutralizing the crisis.
Old Immortal Huayu truly lived up to his reputation — he was indeed a formidable powerhouse with real skill, actually managing to fight the Dragon Palace to a draw, with every move met in kind.
Of course, this was partly because the Dragon Palace itself was an Immortal Gu House of the Servitude Path, and its greatest strength lay in subjugation. And in order to preserve his trump cards, Wu Shuai kept the Four Great Dragon Generals hidden even though they had all been assembled. What he deployed most frequently was the Sinful Dragon, which had already become the Dragon Palace's signature.
The Sinful Dragon rampaged without restraint!
The Gu Immortals of the Two Alliance were slaughtering, burning, and plundering!
Wu Shuai was in no rush at all, because the situation was overwhelmingly in his favor.
Old Immortal Huayu grew more desperate the longer he fought. 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 the reinforcements really arrive in time?
Though Old Immortal Huayu desperately hoped for it, he knew the chances were slim. While he himself held great prestige and Huawen Grotto-Heaven had maintained close ties with neighboring grotto-heaven powers, would those allies truly commit to supporting him against such a formidable enemy?
If Old Immortal Huayu put himself in their shoes — if one of the neighboring grotto-heavens had been attacked and asked for his help, and the enemy was the Two Alliance — even he would hesitate.
The Gu Immortals of the Two Alliance continued their rampage.
Fires of war blazed everywhere. The land was ravaged.
"Old Immortal Huayu, if you have any trump cards left, now is the time to play them. If you don't, you won't be able to save your grotto-heaven anymore. Hahaha." Wu Shuai laughed, utterly brazen.
