Chapter 994 - 994: Fallen for the Trap
While Huzi and Jiang Yunxuan were striving for their own fortunes, Liu Zixuan had already returned to their base with Zhao Yi and Xiao Hu.However, before reaching Little City Impression, the moment they reached the street corner, all three sensed something was amiss!
Slowly halting the car, Zhao Yi frowned and said, "There's a strong force here. Someone just fought here."
Liu Zixuan nodded and took out his phone to call Ye Lianyi. Shortly after, the call was connected. He asked in a low voice, "Zixuan, you're back?"
"Mm, where are you now, is it inconvenient to talk?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"The Celestial Dao Alliance has sent people, they're on the south side of the city, but don't worry, they don't seem to want trouble. Xiaoxiao and I are watching them here." Ye Lianyi replied.
"Is it only the Celestial Dao Alliance?" Liu Zixuan asked again.
"Ah? Who else could it be?" Ye Lianyi paused for a moment, "Oh no, they're fighting with Xiaoxiao now; I'll go help her first. Don't worry, they're just small fry, we can handle them!"
"Don't get caught up in the fight, retreat and come back quickly, you've fallen into a trap!"
Liu Zixuan hung up the phone, immediately started the car, and sped towards Little City Impression.
Stopping the car, he signaled to Zhao Yi, saying, "You flank them from behind."
"Alright." Zhao Yi, sensing the peculiarity as well, got out and headed towards another street, planning to go around from the courtyard.
Liu Zixuan and Xiao Hu then entered Little City Impression.
"Help me check upstairs, call me if you encounter enemies." Liu Zixuan said in a deep voice.
Xiao Hu didn't hesitate, heading directly upstairs, while Liu Zixuan went straight into the courtyard.
Upon entering, he found two Shadow Guards lying wounded on the ground, no one else was in sight.
Seeing Liu Zixuan enter, the person weakly called out, "Xuan… Master Xuan, upstairs!"
"Where are Xiaobin and the others?" Liu Zixuan frowned and asked.
"We've all been trapped, first some from the Celestial Dao Alliance came; Miss Ripple and Xiaoxiao chased them out, then another group of unknown people came, Xiaobin led others to chase them out. Unexpectedly, after those two groups left, a strange person came in demanding you. We brothers confronted and were injured by him, then he went upstairs!"
Hearing the Shadow Guard's words, Liu Zixuan crouched down, took out a Silver Needle to stop his bleeding, then handed them two Elixirs, "Stay here and wait for me, call Xiaobin and the others back!"
"Master Xuan, be careful, that person is strong!"
Liu Zixuan nodded, quickly turned back, just as a loud crash sounded upstairs.
He saw a black shadow seemingly struck by something, colliding into the wall and rolling down the stairs.
Xiao Hu closely followed, pointing at the shadow, shouted, "Be careful of this person, he's poisonous!"
Liu Zixuan examined closely, not recognizing the person, but the aura was all too familiar — clearly a Gu Corpse with a high realm, at least Innate Emperor Realm First Heaven during his lifetime! Coupled with his poisonous body, he's not to be underestimated!
Though the shadow was struck by Xiao Hu, he showed no signs of injury. He stood up instantly, revealing a peculiar smile upon seeing Liu Zixuan, "Liu Zixuan, you're doomed!"
The voice was raspy, nearly unrecognizable as human speech!
Liu Zixuan's scalp tingled momentarily, quickly sensing something amiss, activating X-ray Vision. He saw countless colorful grain-sized insects sweeping toward him.
"Hmph! Spotted Poison Bugs trying to shake me!"
Liu Zixuan coldly snorted, a dragon roar suddenly emerged, the Nameless Sword autonomously unleashed, a surge of Sword Intent cleaved through, obliterating the colorful poison bugs!
Despite this, the Gu Corpse didn't seem disheartened; instead his smile grew even wider.
As Liu Zixuan swung his sword to cut the poisonous insects, the Gu Corpse suddenly produced a large knife in his hand, directly thrusting toward Liu Zixuan's Dantian.
Not attacking unless to kill, when attacking directly aiming to take his life!
Now, even with a simple thought, it's evident a trap orchestrated by the Celestial Dao Alliance and Venerable Ghost Nether.
Using the luring tactic to draw Ye Lianyi and Xiaobin away, the real aim was to erase Liu Zixuan from the world!
This, of course, was anticipated by Liu Zixuan, as both the Celestial Dao Alliance and Venerable Ghost Nether are enemies, but what wasn't expected was their accurate tracking of Liu Zixuan's movements.
Apparently, the Celestial Dao Alliance has indeed exerted much effort to monitor Liu Zixuan!
Seeing the Gu Corpse attacking, Liu Zixuan avoided direct confrontation; being on the staircase, fierce combat would surely destroy Little City Impression, so he led the Gu Corpse into the courtyard.
After ordering the wounded Shadow Guards to leave, Liu Zixuan raised his sword and clashed directly with the Gu Corpse.
A Gu Corpse, to put it plainly, is an emotionless body, controlled by a top-tier Gu. Despite being an Innate Emperor Realm expert in life, it no longer exhibited numerous cultivation techniques.
In essence, relying solely on its impenetrable body to clash with Liu Zixuan!
Liu Zixuan knew a way to deal with Gu Corpse: use a peculiar flame to burn them, as he had done against the Gu Corpses controlled by Venerable Ghost Nether in the past. Back then he possessed a Nether Fire Stone, but now he was without!
Thus, he could only fight while contemplating ways.
Repeatedly striking, the Nameless Sword left several wounds on the Gu Corpse, with nearly every strike hitting, yet having little effect. Because the Gu Corpse wasn't afraid of these!
"Let me handle it!"
Seeing Liu Zixuan frowning, Xiao Hu flashed over, suddenly producing two Iron Hammers, swung directly at the Gu Corpse's chest.
Bang!
The Iron Hammer felt like hitting rock, emitting a loud noise as both Xiao Hu and the Gu Corpse stepped back!
"Are you alright?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I'm fine, I have a way to deal with this corpse, but…" Xiao Hu hesitated, "But I'm very afraid of his poison, do you have a way to help me?"
"Poison?"
Quite conveniently, Liu Zixuan has no solutions for dealing with this corpse, but he's utterly fearless of poison!
The Nether Spirit Ghost Gate Needle suddenly appeared in his fingers, directly piercing Xiao Hu's Celestial Spirit Acupoint, "This needle will render you immune to poison for ten minutes."
"Three minutes is enough!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu relaxed, grinning, "Defeating him will be my initiation gift to you!"
With these words, Xiao Hu swung the two Iron Hammers and attacked the Gu Corpse…
