“Kill!” Wang Da let out a low growl and swooped down from the treetop.
As he was about to approach his enemy, three moon blades suddenly shot out, intercepting him midway.
“How is there a fourth Gu Master?” Wang Da’s heart sank. He twisted his body in midair, narrowly dodging two of the moon blades. The remaining one was unavoidable and struck his left leg.
Thump.
Wang Da crashed to the ground. He looked down at his left leg, where a deep, long wound already oozed blood.
“Damned…” Wang Da ground his teeth. With a thought, “Shadow Tracking Gu!”
Instantly, he transformed into a thick black shadow, his speed surging as he silently retreated.
Just then, at this Chapter 76: Regret?.
A Gu insect flew out from the air, and at the same time an aged voice came—
“Flash Gu, explode.”
The Gu insect suddenly exploded, forming a blinding white light.
The white light was impossible to look at. It flared up, illuminating the dim forest brightly.
“Ah!” Wang Da let out a miserable shriek. In the light, his shadow form was exposed without concealment, and he was forced back into his original shape.
Although Flash Gu was only first-turn and a consumable Gu, it was the perfect counter to Wang Da’s Shadow Tracking Gu. Once the shadow was dispelled by the white flash, the second-turn Shadow Tracking Gu had to recuperate for three hours before it could be used again.
In nature, all things are balanced; one thing subdues another. Although Shadow Tracking Gu had excellent stealth abilities, its weakness was also great.
After being countered, Wang Da’s heart sank to the bottom.
This fourth Gu Master was obviously more experienced and cunning. He had remained hidden using who knows what Gu, and was truly a formidable opponent. Even more critical was that he, Wang Er, temporarily couldn’t use Shadow Tracking Gu, which meant he had no retreat.
“I am Gu Yue Sou, boy. If you surrender now, perhaps my clan will spare your life!” A white-haired silver-bearded Chapter 76: Regret? second-turn Gu master appeared in Wang Da’s field of vision.
“Spare me? Hmph, I’ll kill you first!” Wang Da knew that if he was delayed, more Gu Masters would soon surround him. He had to eliminate this fourth Gu Master as quickly as possible.
“I only have twenty percent of my true essence left. Whether for revenge or survival, I have to kill this troublesome old man first!” Wang Da steeled himself and lunged at Gu Yue Sou.
Gu Yue Sou let out a cold snort. All his hair, including his body hair, instantly grew wildly and tangled together, forming a spiky white armor in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this change, Wang Da’s expression shifted. This experienced Gu Master was like a hedgehog, making Wang Da feel no way to attack.
His second-turn first poison Gu, Love Separation Gu, was extremely deadly and could seal one’s throat with blood, but it lacked the ability to attack directly; it could only be used for sneak attacks.
Wang Da only had Love Separation Gu and Shadow Tracking Gu. If he had a defensive Gu, he wouldn’t have been hit by the moon blade earlier.
“Hmph, if I can’t deal with you, I’ll kill Fang Yuan first!” Wang Da was not stupid. Three years of life had made him cunning and ruthless.
He sprinted, trying to bypass Gu Yue Sou and attack the murderer of his family.
“Don’t even think about it!” Gu Yue Sou activated his true essence. The spiky hair armor suddenly extended two hair spikes, spiraling like screws, shooting out for five or six meters toward Wang Da.
Wang Da crouched down, barely brushing past the two white hair spikes.
On his hands, ten nails grew to the length of half a palm, purple-black, with wisps of pale purple toxic smoke.
“Die!” Wang Da was already in a frenzy, grinning ferociously as he rapidly closed in on his target.
In his eyes, Fang Yuan’s face was full of shock and panic.
The bloodthirsty murderous intent filled Wang Da’s mind. He could almost hear the sound of his nails piercing Fang Yuan’s skin, and his unwilling final breath.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Just as he was about to succeed, a figure flashed and blocked Wang Da’s path.
The fifth second-turn Gu Master had arrived from not far away!
“Is that Love Separation Gu?” This was a middle-aged man, his face resolute as he faced Wang Da’s frantic charge.
Stone Skin Gu!
The middle-aged man burst forth with his true essence; his red iron true essence steamed like smoke. The skin on his exposed arms instantly changed from natural yellow to gray-white. At the same time, his arms swelled like air-filled balloons, turning into thick stone arms.
The two closed in, Wang Da’s expression crazy and twisted, while the middle-aged Gu Master was deep and composed, extending his arms and opening his hands to grab Wang Da.
“So slow and you want to catch me?” Wang Da couldn’t help showing a mocking expression.
The middle-aged Gu Master’s arms were covered with a thick layer of stone skin; even Wang Da’s nails couldn’t penetrate it. But because the stone arms were too heavy, they were too slow. Wang Da felt he could easily dodge them.
“Is that so? Green Wind Wheels!” The middle-aged Gu Master suddenly shouted, and a pair of green whirlwinds, like arm rings, appeared around his stone arms.
The speed of the stone arms abruptly increased!
“How can this be… ugh!” Wang Da’s face showed shock. He was swept by the stone arms and sent flying.
The middle-aged Gu Master was very experienced; if he had used the Bee Gu Green Wind Wheels from the start, Wang Da wouldn’t have been so easily hit.
Wang Da was knocked to the ground by the heavy stone arms, dizzy and disoriented. His chest felt tight from the blow.
Pff.
He struggled to get up and couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
