Chapter 171: Pursuit!
In the void, the black-and-red energy raged uncontrollably, launching indiscriminate attacks that encompassed both Gu He and Wuhu Guardian.
Gu He was relatively fine, thanks to the protection of the Red Lotus Platform, which gave him ample reaction time. At a critical moment, he used the Ascension Steps technique to instantly leave the battlefield.
However, Wuhu Guardian, due to the violent energy interaction happening too close to him, was affected by the aftermath. A muffled groan echoed, and his figure staggered, hastily retreating.
In the sky, as the most terrifying energy ripple spread, the junction where the two formidable energies collided gradually calmed down. Finally, they slowly dissipated on their own.
Feeling the terrifying energy finally canceling each other out, the magical beasts in the mountain range below finally breathed a sigh of relief. The previous energy ripple was too frightening; if a few more had come, the entire mountain range might have been leveled.
...
With the gradual dissipation of the energy, the howling winds and surging clouds in the sky also gradually subsided. A black shadow flickered, and the slightly disheveled figure of Wuhu Guardian appeared.
After revealing himself, a violent cough erupted. The dense black mist that enveloped him instantly became much thinner. Obviously, the previous energy ripple had a considerable impact on him.
"Damn it, how could this guy have such a terrifying Dou Skill? Who the hell is he?"
Looking at the distant figure standing on the Red Lotus Platform in white clothes, Wuhu Guardian's face looked extremely unpleasant.
Wuhu Guardian's eyes flickered with contemplation. "Could this guy really be from the Divine Phoenix clan?"
Generally speaking, those who cultivated such advanced Dou Skills mostly came from ancient clans or top-tier magical beast families.
Wuhu Guardian had never heard of the Vermilion Bird Seal used by Gu He, but he could sense its terrifying power, no weaker than an Earth-tier advanced Dou Skill.
On the Dou Qi continent, there were not many forces that could produce Earth-tier advanced Dou Skills. This guy in front of him, if not from the Divine Phoenix clan, probably came from some ancient family.
Only individuals from these ancient families would possess such terrifying means.
A thought flashed in his mind that made him palpitate with fear. Wuhu Guardian's complexion changed. In the Dou Qi continent, there were not many forces that made the Soul Hall uneasy, except for these ancient families!
"No wonder this guy is so terrifying... Damn it, it's really unlucky to encounter such a freak here."
Various thoughts flashed through Wuhu Guardian's mind. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Gu He in the distance with a heavy expression and said, "Who are you exactly? I am Wuhu Guardian, an Earth-tier guardian of the Soul Hall. I have never provoked you. Why do you want to push me to a desperate situation?"
"The people of the Soul Hall are guilty of many crimes. Everyone deserves to die, and killing you requires no reason." From within the Red Lotus Platform, Gu He's voice sounded extremely indifferent.
"You!"
Hearing Gu He's words, Wuhu Guardian's face showed a trace of gloominess.
From Gu He's words, he understood that there was no chance for reconciliation today. It seemed that the other party harbored a deep hatred against the Soul Hall.
"Forget it, this guy is simply unreasonable. I'll retreat for now, and we can deal with him later when he leaves." Thoughts flashed in Wuhu Guardian's mind. After a moment of hesitation, he made a decisive decision to immediately retreat.
"Want to leave?!"
However, just as Wuhu Guardian retreated, a cold sneer echoed instantly. Following that, a figure in white clothes flashed, and with a slight lift of his palm, a massive fireball burst towards Wuhu Guardian.
Feeling the intense heat behind him, Wuhu Guardian's face changed drastically. He quickly swung his arm, and a giant chain shot out, colliding heavily with the fireball.
However, at the moment of contact, similar to before, the chain was directly melted by the fireball. Despite being weakened, the fireball continued its rapid assault.
"Damn it!"
Sensing a weakened feeling in his body, Wuhu Guardian's expression showed panic. The strange black ball he had used earlier had consumed a great deal of his energy. Now, compared to Gu He, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
As he swiftly retreated, Wuhu Guardian flicked his arm again, and several giant chains shot out one after another. They collided with the fireball in a manner resembling a black python attacking the fireball. After repeating this several times, the fireball was finally neutralized.
Hovering in the sky, Gu He looked at Wuhu Guardian, who needed multiple attacks to stop his fireball. A smile appeared on his lips.
"A desperate attempt. Just accept your death obediently!"
The next moment, a chilling intent surged in Gu He's eyes. Without saying more, the Nine Abyssal Flames gushed out from his body, rapidly condensing above his head. In an instant, it transformed into a massive fire dragon, nearly dozens of zhang in size.
This fire dragon, entirely condensed from the Nine Abyssal Flames, emitted an extremely terrifying aura. It almost seemed like a living dragon, with vivid red light in its giant eyes, as if it possessed intelligence.
"Go!"
As soon as the fire dragon took shape, Gu He pointed with his hand and coldly shouted.
With his words, the colossal fire dragon, perched in the sky, swung its huge tail. Its enormous body, created entirely from the Nine Abyssal Flames, turned into a flash of lightning, instantly rushing towards Wuhu Guardian.
Facing the enormous purple streak of the fire dragon shooting towards him, Wuhu Guardian's face turned extremely unsightly. In his current state, after using up a significant amount of energy with the strange black ball earlier, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to Gu He.
As he desperately retreated, Wuhu Guardian swung his arm again. Several gigantic chains shot out, resembling a black python, fiercely colliding with the approaching fire dragon. Yet, as before, the chains were melted by the fire dragon upon contact. Despite the weakened state, the fire dragon continued its relentless pursuit.
"Damn it!"
Wuhu Guardian felt the terrifying heat getting closer behind him. Turning around to see the rapidly enlarging fire dragon, a wave of fear spread from the depths of his heart.
