On San Cha Mountain, the winds and clouds shifted violently.
After Tie Mubai suppressed San Cha Mountain for over half a year, he finally attracted his sworn enemy from the demonic path. However, Wu Gui, also a peak Rank Five Gu Master, was no match for Tie Mubai, who had started his path later.
What followed completely caught everyone off guard.
Ku Mo, another peak Rank Five Gu Master, suddenly appeared, changing the one-on-one battle into a two-on-one assault against Tie Mubai by two demonic Rank Five experts.
The entire righteous path cursed the demonic path for their vile shamelessness, while demonic cultivators flocked to San Cha Mountain, cheering and rejoicing.
Tens of thousands of eyes stared fervently into the sky.
Battles between peak Rank Five Gu Masters were extremely rare, and now it was even rarer to see three of them competing against each other.
Tie Mubai was able to suppress Wu Gui, but fighting one against two was far beyond his capabilities. However, Wu Gui and Ku Mo were both demonic path Gu Masters, and despite joining forces, they also had to guard against each other.
Thus, the three fell into a stalemate.
Dark clouds blanketed the sky, fierce winds howled, and the explosions rocked the heavens and the earth, deafening all.
Suddenly, golden light burst forth. A four-clawed golden dragon tore through the black clouds, stirred the wind and rain, and its draconic roar spread for a thousand miles in every direction.
"Hmph, you dare to show off a mere Rank Four Golden Dragon Gu?" Ku Mo roared disdainfully. "Watch me tear you apart with one claw!"
The moment he spoke, a deafening blast sounded. The golden dragon let out a miserable shriek, plummeted from the sky, and crashed headfirst into the ground.
Just as the golden dragon seemed doomed, a golden whirlwind blew down from above.
The four-clawed golden dragon was enveloped by this whirlwind. Its grievous wounds healed instantly. It raised its head and roared, soaring back into the sky.
"This is the Rank Four Golden Wind Delight Gu! Its healing effect is incredibly powerful, comparable to a Rank Five Gu!" Li Xian, who was watching the battle, squinted his eyes. He recognized this golden whirlwind.
"Don't you dare!" Wu Gui suddenly let out a strange caw.
This strange cry was extremely piercing, like the cawing of a crow. The righteous and demonic cultivators watching all felt dizzy and nauseous.
Following the strange cry, a jet-black, shiny ring of light shot straight down, viciously slamming into the body of the four-clawed golden dragon.
The four-clawed golden dragon couldn't withstand the blow. It exploded.
In an instant, a blinding flash of fire burst forth, like a miniature sun. Everyone watching tightly shut their eyes.
The sound threatened to burst their eardrums.
A powerful wave of wind pressure followed, sweeping in every direction. It knocked down countless trees and boulders. Many Gu Masters were buried alive in an instant.
The strong wind rose against the heavens, even scattering the clouds that covered the sky.
It took a long moment for the onlookers to recover. They retreated in fear while looking up.
In the sky, three figures faced off!
Tie Mubai wore a golden chainmail. It was the Rank Four Golden Thread Armor Gu, with peerless defense. His entire body was also covered in a layer of golden sunset glow. This was the Rank Four Golden Sunset Gu, which allowed Gu Masters to fly.
Wu Gui stood on a dark cloud. The corners of his mouth jutted out violently forward, forming a black bird's beak.
Ku Mo slowly flapped a pair of bone wings on his back. His entire body was covered in a layer of bone armor. At the same time, sharp bone spurs of various colors grew from his elbows, knees, shoulders, and other places. At first glance, he looked like a fierce, colorful humanoid hedgehog.
This confrontation lasted only a few short breaths.
The three struck simultaneously, as fast as lightning.
In the sky, a golden sunset glow darted about, shattering the void, sharp as a sword. A black light soared, moving and stopping, eerie and cunning. A colorful ribbon charged straight ahead, the most reckless and aggressive.
Ordinary eyes could no longer make out the specifics of the three's battle. The vast majority could only hear a continuous string of explosions, relentlessly torturing their eardrums.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light, like a blade, sliced fiercely across a part of the mountainside.
In an instant, the mountain rocks shattered to dust, creating a gully two zhang wide and over ten zhang long.
Unfortunate Gu Masters standing nearby were chopped into bloody paste and minced meat.
Suddenly, another crow's cry blasted like thunder.
The heads of several hundred unlucky Gu Masters exploded as a result.
From time to time, a rain of bone spurs shot down from the sky.
Many Gu Masters couldn't dodge in time, were pierced by the bone spurs, pinned to the ground, and lost their lives.
The battle escalated to a white-hot stage, and the three could no longer freely control their strength.
"This battle of peak Rank Five Gu Masters... even the aftermath of their fight is something we can't withstand!"
"Too terrifying, too terrifying! We need to leave immediately. If we keep watching, we might pay with our lives!"
The crowd, terrified for their lives, fled San Cha Mountain.
