Chapter 169: Battle
"What kind of Heavenly Flame is this?" In the void, Wuhu Guardian stared at the Heavenly Flame in Gu He's palm, his emotions finally calming down after a while. He asked in a deep voice.
"Try it, and you'll find out!" Gu He sneered coldly. As his words fell, the Heavenly Flame in his hand suddenly became violent, transforming into a thick column of fire, fiercely rushing toward Wuhu Guardian.
Seeing Gu He resorting to deadly force without hesitation, Wuhu Guardian's face turned extremely gloomy.
"Arrogant to the extreme!" Wuhu Guardian roared, and the five iron chains in his hand, like pythons, swung fiercely toward the massive column of fire.
However, in the next moment, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Wuhu Guardian's face.
As the five peculiar iron chains touched the column of fire, they turned into a stream of molten iron in an instant.
Crackling sounds echoed. The iron chains turned liquid were directly melted by the column of fire.
"Not good!" Wuhu Guardian's face showed a sudden shock.
The huge column of fire, still at an unabated speed, directly charged towards Wuhu Guardian.
"Damn it!"
At the critical moment, Wuhu Guardian roared, and a dense and eerie black mist instantly emerged, enveloping him.
Just as the black mist shrouded Wuhu Guardian, the huge column of fire struck with a resounding explosion.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the massive column of fire exploded directly in the black mist.
"Ah!"
The next moment, a miserable scream echoed from the black mist, indicating that Wuhu Guardian had suffered a severe blow.
After a while, the black mist rolled rapidly, revealing the black figure of Wuhu Guardian inside. At this moment, Wuhu Guardian, although still unable to see his true appearance, emitted a weak aura, and the surrounding black mist had become much thinner.
"Ah!"
"Bastard!"
"Who are you? Why did you put me in such a desperate situation?"
Wuhu Guardian's face turned iron blue. He looked at Gu He, who was calm not far away, and couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Hehe, you can still shout so loudly. It seems I was too light-handed just now." Unmoved by Wuhu Guardian's anger, Gu He's mind moved, and a strand of Heavenly Flame instantly appeared in his palm.
"You!" Seeing the reappearance of the flame in Gu He's palm, Wuhu Guardian's eyelids twitched, and a sense of fear emerged.
Just now, he had experienced the terror of this flame.
If he endured it again, he was afraid he might perish here.
He couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Wuhu Guardian's thoughts raced, contemplating a way to deal with this.
"Only this way..."
After a moment, Wuhu Guardian quickly made a decision. He sighed deeply, extended his palm, and a black mist suddenly emerged, hovering in front of him. Within the black mist, a strong soul fluctuation could be sensed.
Looking at this black mist with a somewhat painful gaze, Wuhu Guardian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. With a movement of his hand, the black mist suddenly expanded, then rapidly shrank. Finally, an illusory soul figure was ejected from it.
As soon as the soul figure appeared, Wuhu Guardian opened his mouth, and a black mist spewed out, wrapping the soul figure. The soul figure, enveloped by the black mist, seemed to sense something. It struggled violently, and a wave of fearful soul fluctuations spread.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the soul figure struggling, Wuhu Guardian snorted coldly. Then, he opened his mouth wide, a powerful suction force gushed out, and the soul figure was directly sucked into his mouth.
After devouring this soul figure, the black mist swirling around Wuhu Guardian became even denser, and his aura became more vigorous.
However, Wuhu Guardian didn't stop there. He once again ejected a soul figure from the black mist and continued devouring.
As he devoured more soul figures, the eerie black mist began to spread, and Wuhu Guardian's aura became more robust.
Not far away, Gu He was momentarily distracted by Wuhu Guardian's sudden actions.
Soon realizing the situation, he, having read the original work, was aware of some of the Hall of Souls' methods, and one of them was enhancing strength by devouring soul figures.
Watching the merciless devouring of one soul figure after another, Gu He couldn't help but shout, "Trying to strengthen yourself by devouring soul figures? Not on my watch!"
Although these soul figures weren't particularly powerful, their sheer numbers could potentially give Wuhu Guardian a significant boost. Gu He's shout was followed by the immediate use of Ascension Steps, appearing instantly in front of Wuhu Guardian.
Following that, Gu He's palm erupted with the Heavenly Flame, transforming into a massive fireball.
Holding the enormous fireball as if he was holding a radiant sun, a streak of electric light pierced through space. In a flash, Gu He fiercely struck the black mist floating in front of Wuhu Guardian.
The massive fireball collided with the mist, causing Wuhu Guardian's expression to change drastically. Just as he was about to react, the black mist suddenly burst open. Illusory soul figures shot out rapidly and scattered in all directions.
"This guy, how many soul figures did he capture?"
Looking at the countless soul figures fleeing in all directions, Gu He felt a bit dry in his mouth. These Hall of Souls individuals were truly ruthless.
"Bastard! Daring to destroy my Soul Bag!"
Seeing the numerous soul figures fleeing, Wuhu Guardian's eyes turned bloodshot. A dense killing intent surged from him, and the black iron chains, like pythons, whipped fiercely toward Gu He.
Facing Wuhu Guardian's angry attack, Gu He remained calm. He swiftly retreated, and the Heavenly Flame erupted, forming a massive fireball that fiercely collided with the approaching iron chains.
"Boom!"
As the iron chains made contact with the fireball, they exploded with a resounding noise, and a vast energy fluctuation swept out.
"Today, no matter where you came from, I will use your soul to block those fleeing souls!"
Wuhu Guardian's furious roar echoed in the sky. Immediately, five black chains surged out from his body, each filled with an even more concentrated eerie black mist than before.
As he roared, the five black chains suddenly lowered, and then, whooshing sounds, they fiercely attacked Gu He. On each chain, the murderous intent was extremely thick.
