Chapter 329 - 329 Five Against One
329 Five Against One
“The most important thing now is to get rid of the demon. As for the other things, we can talk about them later!” He said. When He Youliang was still pestering him, Shangguan Fei suddenly spoke and made the final decision.
As he spoke, Shangguan Fei raised his hands and made a circle in front of his chest. His spiritual energy overflowed and he struck out at the thorns that were shooting in front of him.
The seemingly easy palm shattered the thorns in the air the moment it was thrown.
Even the thorns behind were sent flying by this palm.
“Since Island Master Shangguan has spoken, I will spare him this time. If I find out that you’re similar to that Wei Lin, I, He Youliang, will attack you!” Even though he had listened to Shangguan Fei for the time being, He Youliang still warned Gu Mingzhou.
Once bitten, twice shy. He Youliang was frightened by Wei Lin’s betrayal, so he’s worried that he’s also a demon! Gu Mingzhou looked at He Youliang’s hundred-meter-long body and thought to himself. He had already guessed He Youliang’s thoughts.
Of course, this was within reason.
After all, the reason why there was no spiritual energy in this world was similar to the broken world of the devil World. There was only demonic energy and no spiritual energy.
The main reason why Wei Lin wasn’t affected and his cultivation didn’t decrease was that his main body was actually a clone of the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, which belonged to the devil World.
And Gu Mingzhou was not affected even if he didn’t rely on the essence fruit. With his spiritual energy, people would naturally associate him with the demon race.
This was also the reason why He Youliang had chased after Liu Youcheng after he had raised his doubts.
“Don’t worry, Hall Master He. I’m a genuine human cultivator!” knowing He Youliang’s doubts, Gu Mingzhou immediately cupped his hands and explained.
Although he didn’t care about He Youliang’s suspicion, in the current situation, even Shangguan Fei, who had the highest cultivation, was no match for the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
If they wanted to escape and even defeat the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, they could only work together.
The fewer doubts they had, the better.
“I hope you’re telling the truth. Otherwise, you’ll end up like these thorns!” He Youliang clearly knew that with the enemy in front of them, it was not wise to have internal strife.
As He Youliang shouted, he swung his wriggling Dragon tail and instantly swept across the sky!
The blue-wave Dragon’s tail was clearly much more powerful than Gu Mingzhou’s spear.
With just a sweep, the hundreds of thorns that were falling from the sky and were about to land on their heads were instantly swept away.
The Dragon’s tail did not directly destroy the thorns. Instead, with the great power of the Dragon’s tail, it directly swept back the hundreds of falling thorns, which hit the endless number of thorns behind them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The thorns collided with each other and exploded at the same time. Not only did it form a storm above everyone’s head, but it also blocked the thorns that were falling from the sky behind. “This is really wonderful!” No one responded to He Youliang’s words, but his beautiful tail-wagging made the eyes of the surrounding people light up.
Especially the five-clawed Golden Dragon on the left, Liu Youcheng, who opened his mouth to praise.
Liu Youcheng also imitated He Youliang, his fierce Golden Dragon Tail sweeping out, instantly sweeping back the thorns that had shot at him from the left.
He used the thorns that his Dragon tail had hit to shoot back, colliding with the thorns behind him and causing an explosion, temporarily blocking the danger on the left.
Wu Ji patriarch opened his bloody mouth and shot out a long, scarlet tongue.
The long tongue was swift and fierce, like a bolt of lightning. In a flash, it had already entangled dozens of thorns!
His spiritual energy seeped out, but he suddenly threw back dozens of thorns.
The spines that were reinforced with spiritual energy shot out one after another, crashing into the endless stream of spines behind them.
Since Wu Ji patriarch had added refined spiritual energy to the thorns, they were even more powerful.
Each spike could pierce through almost ten spikes, causing a large number of explosions.
It formed an even larger storm that swept across the entire void, completely protecting the space behind everyone and the space under their feet.
He Youliang’s method was instantly learned by Liu Youcheng and Wu Ji patriarch, and they were able to block the thorns that shot at them from all directions, allowing everyone to escape danger and be temporarily safe.
“Island Master Shangguan, we have to take the initiative! I don’t know how long the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog can release these spikes, but if it can release them endlessly, we won’t be able to hold on for long if we don’t have a way to recover our spiritual energy after the storm is over!”
Not long after he blocked the sky full of thorns, the huge body of the five-clawed Golden Dragon that Liu Youcheng had transformed into suddenly started to move in the void. The huge and ferocious Dragon head flew over Gu Mingzhou’s head and floated above Shangguan Fei as he spoke worriedly.
“What are you afraid of? The five of us can’t even handle a hedgehog?” without waiting for Shangguan Fei’s reply, the blue-eyed toad said domineeringly.
Among the five people who were trapped now, other than Gu Mingzhou, there were two divine beasts, a pseudo-divine beast, and Shangguan Fei, who had only passed the Thunder tribulation.
With such a lineup, it would not be an exaggeration to call them the strongest organization in the outside world.
Therefore, it was understandable for Wu Ji patriarch to be so arrogant.
However, Wu Ji patriarch’s arrogance didn’t give him the right to do so.
Even if the five of them joined forces, they still didn’t have the confidence to win against the mysterious nine-nether poisonous hedgehog.
If it was a one-on-one battle, no one present, be it the divine beast five-clawed Golden Dragon, the blue-eyed toad, the pseudo-divine beast blue-wave Dragon, or Shangguan Fei, was his opponent.
Wu Ji patriarch didn’t see the situation clearly, but that didn’t mean Shangguan Fei didn’t.
Shangguan Fei was one of the strongest here in terms of shrewdness, insight, cultivation, and experience. He was naturally not as short-sighted as Wu Ji patriarch.
“Liu Youcheng’s right, the current situation is not suitable for us to choose to fight to the death. We will lose without a doubt!”
Shangguan Fei looked at the storms in all directions.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his right index finger and middle finger formed a sword finger, pointing at the raging storm in front of him!
Whoosh!
The dazzling golden light shot out and into the storm.
The void storm did not stop the golden light at all. In fact, it even affected it, allowing it to pass through.
“As expected!” seeing that the golden light had pierced through the storm without any damage, Shangguan Fei’s face suddenly lit up and he said in surprise.
Shangguan Fei’s words immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Liu Youcheng, Wu Ji patriarch, and even Gu Mingzhou all looked in the direction of Shangguan Fei’s finger in unison with puzzlement.
If Shangguan Fei’s speculation was correct, it meant that everyone could use the storm as a cover to attack the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog and take the initiative.
In the face of the crowd’s doubts, Shangguan Fei once again shot out golden light from his sword fingers, which pierced through the storm and answered the crowd with facts.
“Island Master Shangguan, now that you can discover the secret of the storm, do you think that the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, which often uses its thorns to attack, also knows it?” Gu Mingzhou suddenly had an ominous feeling and immediately said.
