Chapter 608 - 605: Gangxin, Something’s Wrong with You
"Gu Fan!"
The Wild Ghost roared in fury once more, this time targeting Gu Fan, "What are you doing?"
Gu Fan spread his hands.
Cyan Vault chuckled, "Wild Ghost, even a nameless pawn like you, who emerged from a crack in a rock, can draw experts to your side in the Celestial Human War. Can’t I, a former Celestial Being, also form alliances? Long before you approached Gu Fan, I had already promised him the top candidate position."
After pausing for a moment, Cyan Vault continued with a regretful expression, "It’s a pity Gangxin was too vigilant and withdrew early. If I had combined forces with Gu Fan to seriously injure or even eliminate Gangxin, this Celestial Human War would have been much easier."
The Wild Ghost snorted coldly, "Even if Gu Fan is on your side, so what? It’s now three against two, I hold the advantage!"
Cyan Vault said calmly, "Wild Ghost, how can you be so sure that I’ve only arranged for Gu Fan? Old Lin and I have a long-standing friendship."
Wild Ghost’s face changed, looking towards the Drunken Flower Forest with suspicion. Upon reflection, Drunken Flower Forest’s attacks had been somewhat lackluster, and everything seemed suspicious.
Drunken Flower Forest quickly said, "Don’t talk nonsense. I haven’t collaborated with Cyan Vault."
Because Bai Pu had just been attacked by Cyan Vault and Gu Fan with lethal intent, he was instead the most trusted by Drunken Flower Forest and Wild Ghost. He spoke calmly, "Elder Wild Ghost, don’t let suspicion cloud your judgment. If Lord Cyan Vault had united with Gu Fan and Drunken Flower Forest, holding the advantage, would there be any need for this subterfuge? They would just attack directly."
Wild Ghost steadied himself and nodded, "That does make sense. Drunken Flower Forest, Gangxin, you two handle Cyan Vault, and I’ll deal with Gu Fan! Once we eliminate this unstable factor, we’ll besiege Cyan Vault together!"
Cyan Vault laughed heartily, "In your dreams!" He clasped his hands and unleashed a powerful aura that filled the skies, forcing Wild Ghost to struggle for breath. Then the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd swept down like a waterfall.
Drunken Flower Forest brought his hands together, and a wave of pliable wind power surged forth, altering the angle of the strike.
Dancing Wind Reversal - Chasing Dance Fluttering Light Sleeves.
A slight miscalculation can lead to a huge mistake. The subtle change in angle caused the strike to miss most of Wild Ghost’s body.
Wild Ghost turned, and in his two-headed, four-armed form, the ghostly mist erupted again, forming rows of ghostly shadows clad in battered iron armor, firing at Gu Fan.
Gu Fan transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, dodging the arrows mid-air.
Thunder’s Secret Skill: Nine-Ring Thunder Move Body Technique.
While moving at high speed, Gu Fan could still draw his bow and return fire! The Thunderbolt Bow unleashed bursts of lightning arrows, each bolt shattering an iron-armored ghost shadow.
But for every one destroyed, two more appeared. The rain of arrows from the Ghost Shadow Array compensated for its lack of precision with sheer volume, frequently hitting Gu Fan despite his extraordinary body technique.
Cyan Vault would not let Wild Ghost get his way, lunging towards him with high agility, the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd conjuring countless spear points, resembling a barrage of sun-piercing halberds.
This was Cyan Vault’s independently cultivated Three-Star Skill: Sun Piercing Halberds, coupled with Level 4, Level 7, and Level 10 triple Mystical Arts special effects, possessing immense power.
Each spear point was engulfed in intense flames, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake!
With a Gang Step slicing through, Bai Pu arrived, spinning his short spear to gather most of the fiery spear points, then bracing his shield to meet them, creating a constant clanging sound.
Simultaneously, Bai Pu expanded the Prismatic Domain, choosing the Earth Attribute, enveloping both Cyan Vault and Gu Fan.
Cyan Vault managed to hang on, but Gu Fan’s Nine-Ring Thunder Move Body Technique was completely countered by the Prismatic Domain (Earth), unable to sprint!
Within three seconds, Gu Fan was turned into a pincushion by the Iron Armor Ghost Shadow Array’s arrows.
A crackling sound echoed, and the figure of Gu Fan transformed into a transparent husk, shattering like a cicada shell. His true form appeared hundreds of meters away, still eyeing Bai Pu with lingering fear.
Nine-Ring Thunder Move Body Technique Level 10 Special Effect: Void Cicada: Passive, when receiving lethal damage, leave behind a cicada shell in place, teleporting to any position within 500 meters (must be within line of sight/spirit range), restoring Life Value to 100% and clearing all negative statuses.
If Bai Pu had used "Deformation," he could have brought Gu Fan back into the domain’s range, but Cyan Vault was no pushover, launching seven consecutive moves against Bai Pu, forcing him to fully activate his Fighting Qi for protection.
However, Wild Ghost reacted quickly. Seeing Gu Fan forced to use his ultimate protective skill, his confidence soared! His form rapidly turned into a mist, lunging towards Gu Fan, the ghostly mist forming a massive skull, emitting a terrifying howl!
Ghost Infant Secret Technique System: Soul Shock!
A flash of light on Gu Fan’s body signaled the use of some method to break free from the control, fleeing swiftly. Having suffered from Bai Pu’s Prismatic Domain, he dared not seek protection near Cyan Vault again, opting instead to escape the battlefield using the Nine-Ring Thunder Move Body Technique.
"I’ll be right back!" Wild Ghost’s voice was filled with strong confidence. The two were now far away, one chasing and the other fleeing.
Bai Pu and the Drunken Flower Forest teamed up against Cyan Vault.
At this point, Cyan Vault had lost his initial momentum, using his Professional Energy with much more caution.
After all, now it was one against two, unable to trigger the "Pride" skill of the Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd, halting the double recovery speed of his Professional Energy.
Could anyone who reached the finals of the Celestial Human War be mediocre?
The Drunken Flower Forest’s Dancing Wind Reversal Secret Technique System repeatedly skewed or weakened Cyan Vault’s attacks, giving Bai Pu the opportunity to advance with his spear. The Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts engaged consecutively, soon successfully hitting Cyan Vault, shattering his Mystical Arts Shield Skills!
"Gangxin, your energy strength is peculiar."
Cyan Vault, with a serious face, began talking again, "I’ve battled many Lords of the Spirit Realm. Your energy strength has surpassed that of a typical Lord, reaching the Enhanced Lord level! Otherwise, you couldn’t possibly break through my Protective Gang Qi and hit my body repeatedly."
These words piqued Drunken Flower Forest’s curiosity as well.
Even top-level Awakened, with advanced cultivation methods in the Professional Plane, could only cultivate Professional Energy to just above the Enhanced Hero level, approaching Lord’s level.
No one had ever heard of an Awakened reaching Lord Level energy strength, let alone Enhanced Lord Level.
What does Enhanced Lord mean? That’s Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms World, Li Yuanba of the Sui and Tang World, Xiang Yu of the Chu and Han World... the pinnacle of conventional power in a high-difficulty world!
Even top-level Awakened need to organize a team just to have the hope to stand against them.
Cyan Vault kept attacking while casually saying, "Old Lin and I have stood at the pinnacle of Awakened for a long time, seeing innumerable Dark Gold Equipment, Golden Artifacts, and various Spirit Realm Wonders. However, I’ve only heard of one way to enhance energy strength, but I’ve never seen it!"
