Wu Chou had already ceased his entanglement with Xuan Gu the moment the Supplement Heaven Pill was taken by Wan Tianming's Nascent Soul.
He wasn't a fool; he could clearly sense that Xuan Gu was significantly stronger than him, and moreover, seemed to know a great deal about the Dark Yin Art.
Every one of his technique attacks had been effortlessly neutralized, as if the other party hadn't expended any effort at all.
This shocked Wu Chou greatly.
But now, with two Tiandu Corpse Demons added to his side, Wu Chou was naturally delighted.
Each Corpse Demon's strength was comparable to, if not greater than, a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. With two more suddenly added, even if Xuan Gu were formidable, he couldn't possibly be their match.
He naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to teach the other party a proper lesson.
Therefore, after the various old monsters had left the high platform one after another, he immediately let out a sinister laugh and looked towards Xuan Gu with a mocking gaze.
Xuan Gu glanced at the exit by the stone steps, then turned back to meet Wu Chou's malicious stare and the two Corpse Demons. His calm face suddenly broke into a smile.
"Han Li, this person is Ji Yin's only descendant, isn't he? If I were to eliminate him, wouldn't Ji Yin be distressed for a while?" He turned his head and actually spoke these words to Han Li.
Hearing this, Han Li was briefly stunned, but his expression immediately returned to normal. He simply looked at Xuan Gu indifferently, offering no response to these words.
However, Wu Chou, who heard this from the side, instantly became alert, his face full of suspicion as he looked at Han Li.
At the same time, the two Corpse Demons beside him, seemingly having received some command from him, flickered and vanished from his side.
"Han Li, have you conspired with this person long ago? No wonder that the ancient treasure, the Jade Ruyi, was knocked towards you by him! Now hand over this treasure, and let my ancestor return to decide its ownership?" After rolling his eyes, Wu Chou actually addressed Han Li with a sinister tone.
Hearing these words, a frame-up and an attempt to forcibly snatch the treasure, Han Li felt a moment of speechlessness inside.
It was obvious this fellow felt he no longer had any use, hence the previous restraints were gone. Perhaps this scheme was even secretly instructed by Ji Yin before he left.
Thinking of this, the corner of Han Li's mouth twitched slightly, and the many flying swords within his body began to stir with anticipation.
But just at this moment, Xuan Gu made the first move.
He merely raised a hand, and a strange green snake shot out from his sleeve, pouncing fiercely towards an empty spot.
A muffled "bang" sounded, followed by a green figure staggering into view – it was precisely one of the Tiandu Corpse Demons.
"Tiandu Corpse Demons? It's remarkable that Ji Yin could refine so many!" Xuan Gu curled his lip, speaking with disdain.
But his hands showed no pause as he swiftly formed seals. The green snake rapidly coiled around the Corpse Demon several times, after which Xuan Gu quickly pointed a finger at it. A blooming green lotus appeared on the Corpse Demon's body. The lotus petals expanded wildly, and a huge leaf instantly enveloped the entire Corpse Demon.
Seeing this, Wu Chou's heart was filled with alarm. He hurriedly urged his seals, wanting the Corpse Demon to break free. But for some reason, once wrapped by the lotus, the Corpse Demon was completely severed from his mental connection, and he could no longer control it at all.
At this, Wu Chou broke out in a cold sweat all over. Just as he was about to command the other one, the Xuan Gu opposite him flickered, instantly appearing before him.
A flash of flustered anger crossed Wu Chou's face. He hurriedly released large swathes of Dark Yin Demonic Qi to envelop his entire body. At the same time, a vicious glint flickered in his eyes; he opened his mouth, and a small black sword shot towards Xuan Gu's face with lightning speed.
The speed was both swift and fierce!
A hint of mockery appeared on Xuan Gu's face. His ten fingers suddenly became incredibly sharp, growing several inches of emerald-green nails, giving him a terrifying and hideous appearance.
Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed with one hand. The small black sword actually flew straight into his ghostly claw, utterly powerless to resist.
Wu Chou could hardly believe what he was seeing. His face deathly pale, he hurriedly tried to recall the flying sword.
