Chapter 54: Escape

"According to the classics, if the light-refining finger can reach the last level, it will be powerful enough to penetrate all obstacles. Even a strong Qi Chong Dou Xiao realm cannot block the edge of the sword finger." Gu Xiuyun said to himself.

The mid-level method is already the top secret technique of the major families in the eight cities of Chu County.

As for the high-level methods, I heard that only the four major sects have them, but it is useless for ordinary disciples to learn such powerful methods because the threshold is too high. Only those in the Qi Chong Douxiao realm can master the secrets.

The thoughts in his mind turned around, but Gu Xiuyun's feet did not stop. He used Lichen Escape to the extreme, following the Liu Family Master like a ghost into the underground corridor.

The head of the Liu family was only in the middle stage of the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm, so how could he sense Gu Xiuyun, so he was unsuspecting and followed the underground corridor to the end.

Ding dong!

The iron wall at the end of the corridor rose, revealing a dark secret room.

There was still a faint layer of mist floating in the secret room.

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has already dismissed the guard general and the patrolling guard. Gu will not doubt it." The head of the Liu family lay on the ground and said respectfully.

"Well done," the old man's voice came from the depths of the darkness. "Now there are a large number of strong human beings gathered in the city. You must be careful and make sure not to make any mistakes."

"Disciple, please remember this."

"Also, have you finished sending Gu Xiudan out of the city?" The old man continued, "Lord Mad Niu personally approved this matter. If it is not done well, even I will be blamed."

"Master, please rest assured. I have already made an agreement with the Nancheng guard. As soon as it gets dark, we will send people out immediately. There are already disciples outside to take care of them. There will be no accidents."

"That's good." A rickety figure walked out of the depths of the mist.

"Master, I don't understand. The Holy Pool is only opened once a year. There are still four months until the next Holy Pool is opened. Why are you rushing to send Gu Xiudan out?" The head of the Liu family asked in confusion, "Gu Xiudan is the Gu family. If he disappears out of thin air, it will probably arouse Gu's vigilance. "

"Because... Lord Mad Niu is ready to take action!" the old man said in a deep voice.

"What, so fast?" The head of the Liu family looked shocked. "Didn't Master say that our preparations are not complete yet and we need to wait for about half a year?"

"It was indeed imperfect before, but recently your Excellency has obtained a treasure that has the mysterious ability to deduce heavenly secrets. Your Excellency has determined that three days from now will be the best time to take action. If it is delayed any longer, the chance of winning will be even lower."

"I see."

The head of the Liu family took a deep breath. He understood that a disaster was about to sweep the entire Youning City.

This is the battle for the rise of Darkmoon Mountain, and it is also the clarion call to officially declare war on the human race.

"alright,

I have to practice in seclusion and strive to open the second level of heaven within three days. You go down! "The old man waved his hand.

"Disciple, please retire." The iron door of the secret room opened, and the head of the Liu family retreated to the corridor.

At this moment, spiritual power fluctuations were faintly heard in the corridor.

Immediately afterwards, several rays of sword light appeared out of thin air and shot in all directions at the same time. The sword energy seemed scattered, but in fact it blocked all the old man's escape routes.

"who?"

The spiritual energy in front of the old man surged out like a tide, instantly condensing light shields. At the same time, he quickly retreated, trying to avoid the attack.

But after the light-refining finger merged with the four kinds of restraints, its power was so astonishing that it penetrated three light shields almost instantly and shot directly through the old man's chest.

Only then did Gu Xiuyun reveal his figure.

His eyes swept across the secret room and found that the old man's injuries were not serious. He couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed difficult to sneak attack a cultivator who has opened a heavenly gate based on sound positioning alone."

Just now, he followed the head of the Liu family to the end of the underground corridor, but before entering the secret room, Gu Xiuyun deduced that there was a hidden danger, so he did not enter the secret room, but hid outside.

Across an iron wall, Gu Xiuyun could only hear faint sounds. After many calculations, he barely determined the old man's position, and took advantage of the iron wall to open again to launch a sneak attack.

He was already convinced that the people in the secret room were enemies rather than friends with Youning City. If that was the case, why should he hold back?

"If we start in three days, will you still survive until three days later?"

Gu Xiuyun sneered, turning his hands over at the same time, and sword light burst out from his fingertips and penetrated the figure in front of him.

Poof! Poof!

Several rays of sword light penetrated his body. The old man endured the severe pain, condensed a huge sword light, and struck at Gu Xiuyun.

But Gu Xiuyun had already been prepared, and when he launched his Lichen Escape, he moved around the secret room like lightning. No matter how hard the old man moved the sword, he could never catch up with him.

"Old guy, you really think your plan is flawless. Gu Xiudan is actually the secret agent of the Gu family. Now you are the turtle in the urn and there is only one way to die." Gu Xiuyun said while fighting with him.

"Fart, if the Gu family really knew our identities, why didn't they take action immediately and ask Gu Xiudan to present the treasure?" The old man didn't believe it at all.

"Haha, do you really think that black hexagram is a treasure?" Gu Xiuyun sneered, "Who among the practitioners in Nancheng doesn't know that the black hexagram is unpredictable, and what Mad Bull predicts is the worst. result."

"Hmph, it's a one-sided statement."

The spiritual energy around the old man shook violently and turned into countless mists, completely covering the secret room. These mists are extraordinary and have the miraculous effect of covering up the six senses. Even the strong eyesight and hearing of a practitioner will be blinded by the mist, and the senses will be blinded.

No movement.

If this secret technique is performed outside, it is not very useful because the fog will disperse quickly.

But in the secret room, it is very effective, and the secret room itself is filled with fog. The combination of the two makes it even more powerful.

"Damn it, it's really hard to kill this old guy on his territory. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. I'd better get out of here first!" Gu Xiuyun's mind was racing. He knew that he couldn't kill the old man for the time being, so it's better to leave here first.

The cultivator who opened up the first level of the heaven has completed three transformations in his body. There are almost no vital points on his body. Even if the sword light penetrates his heart, the old man can still live.

Unless Gu Xiuyun can penetrate the head with a sword, or cut him into several pieces, he can forcibly kill the old man.

But the head is the most critical point. Gu Xiuyun knows it, and the old man knows it even more. Under the opponent's all-out avoidance and resistance, Gu Xiuyun can't kill him in one fell swoop.

The fight lasted only a dozen breaths, and Gu Xiuyun rushed out of the fog without hesitation and escaped along the underground corridor.

As for the head of the Liu family, he had been killed by the remaining spiritual power of the two people, and he couldn't even tell who killed him.

Swish!

Gu Xiuyun flashed away like lightning.

But at this moment, a wave that was as overwhelming as the ocean pressed towards Gu Xiuyun.

"Since you are here, stay for me!"

A huge figure was faintly revealed in the depths of the wave. Gu Xiuyun tried his best to look. It was a huge bull. Just breathing could cause huge waves. Its breath could cause mountains and rivers to collapse and the earth to overturn.

"What a terrible monster. There is such a terrible monster in Yuning City?" Gu Xiuyun was shocked.

But then he realized that something was wrong. How could such a huge monster live in the small Yuning City?

"Illusion?"

Gu Xiuyun hurriedly urged his spiritual power to seal his six senses.

The depths of his soul had been covered with a veil. If it were an ordinary practitioner, he would have been at a loss at this moment, but Gu Xiuyun's soul was no less than that of a third-level practitioner under the shining starlight. At this moment, he noticed something was wrong, and as his soul power was running, he swept away the illusions in his mind.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful the illusion is, can it still cover up the calculation of the secrets of heaven?"

Gu Xiuyun sealed his six senses, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all unable to sense the movements of the outside world, and those illusions naturally lost their effect.

With one hand, he continued to perform the Cloud Running Hand and the Light Refining Finger to resist the waves around him, and with the other hand, he repeatedly deduced and looked for a way out.

Soon, he stepped forward and rushed out of Liu Mansion like a phantom.

As soon as he walked out of the mansion, the waves around him disappeared instantly. Gu Xiuyun did not dare to stay any longer, and the whole person went to the north city at a high speed.
