Above all spirits

Chapter 314 Death Struggle

As the white light faded, Gu Yun's figure appeared as a double image.

There was nothing in his hands either.

Everything within sight remained unchanged.

But a strong "cloud" of death hung over their heads.

The pressure was so great that the two of them could barely breathe.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and time seemed to stand still.

A chill ran down their backs, as if maggots were slowly crawling upwards from their bone marrow.

In fact, there is no reason for such a reaction; it is a normal physiological response, because at this moment, Gu Yun and Werner appeared behind the two of them simultaneously, delivering a fatal blow.

Between the lightning and flint.

Suddenly, a pale yellow light shone through Yun Qingzi's fair skin from between her eyebrows, and a crescent moon mark suddenly shone brightly.

Countless vines broke through the wooden floor before Gu Yun's attack landed, crisscrossing and coiling around her, firmly protecting her.

The vines were covered with blooming petals, each engraved with an unusual script, likely the script used by the elves.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. What appeared on Yun Qingzi at this moment should be the trigger mechanism of some kind of protective measure. Perhaps it was the holder's heartbeat accelerating, or perhaps the preset threat threshold was reached. In any case, it was triggered before Gu Yun even made a move.

But this did not stop him from continuing his actions. She did not think that a half-step innate defensive technique could stop his attacks much. She gripped the White Soul Sword tightly and suddenly swung it horizontally.

Purple flames flickered in his pupils.

It's still the same old formula: Demonic Power + Innate Qi, the Limitless Solution.

Although it is simple and unadorned, few people can stop it.

The moves are no longer flashy.

As long as it can kill people.

Meanwhile, Yunming's side wasn't so lucky.

He didn't seem to have any defensive measures that could be triggered passively in advance. At the same time, under the suppression of the demon's power, Yunming was unable to react in time.

Moreover, he was facing the Star-Picking Hand, who was equally unmatched and possessed a vast amount of stellar power.

This is also the strongest attack that Werner can unleash, because the power: Assimilation cannot unleash the power of the Emperor's Will.

Although not as domineering as Gu Yun.

However, the Star-Picking Hand, being the most commonly used method of attack and destruction by the Star-Moon Demon Clan, is not something that beings in the lower realms can withstand.

Even a god descending to earth wouldn't dare to eat it.

Yunming was caught completely off guard and took the hit head-on with the Star-Picking Hand technique; his fate was predictable.

"Pfft."

"Click."

The sounds of flesh tearing and vines snapping rang out simultaneously.

Yunming's blood was pumped into the air without warning, instantly filling the once fresh wooden house with a thick, pungent smell of blood.

Werner instantly withdrew the hand that had pierced Yunming's heart, and another hand, also imbued with the power of the stars, immediately slashed horizontally towards Yunming's neck, giving him no time to catch his breath.

I don't know if it's because he's been following Gu Yun for longer or if his fighting style is just naturally this fierce, every move is deadly, and he never wastes time.

No surprises.

There was a "click".

The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed through the air.

With an uncontrollable lament for the end of life.

Accompanying this mournful cry was...

Only Werner's distorted voice served as accompaniment.

"So elves' blood is red too."

Werner whispered something.

With a hint of disdain and contempt.

Before he could finish speaking, he swiftly withdrew his blood-stained hand, forcefully tossed Yun Ming's headless corpse aside, and moved towards Gu Yun like a ghost.

Clouds bright, fleeting in an instant.

Meanwhile, Gu Yun's protection by the vines gave Yun Qingzi time to continue her resistance and a chance to make a last-ditch effort.

The White Soul Sword turned and slashed at Yun Qingzi again.

The moment the vines broke through, countless silver needles carrying a chilling aura shot out from the gap.

It was pumped out along with the silver needles.

It was Yun Qingzi's scream.

"You're not Kūkai-san?!"

"Who are you!!"

Undoubtedly, she was trying to attract the attention of any spirits that might be present in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, Gu Yun had already noticed this.

Before these two arrived, he confirmed that there were no signs of elf activity in the vicinity.

This is also thanks to Yunming's good choice of location; he picked a secluded and desirable spot that no elves would usually notice.

As for her question, Gu Yun wouldn't answer it.

The only response she received was the purplish-gold sword light.

Yun Qingzi naturally knew that these silver needles were no match for Gu Yun in front of her.

She simply hoped to slow down Gu Yun's offensive pace so she could use some forbidden techniques.

Yunming has already died tragically beside her, and Konghai is very likely to have been killed as well.

It can instantly kill two people who are half-step Xiantian.

Do not!

There should be two people!

It's very likely that they are also two half-step Xiantian level beings!

Even two pseudo-innate beings!

This made Yun Qingzi's lips turn completely bloodless as she thought of that moment.

She knew she had to fight for her life immediately to have any chance of survival; words of wishful thinking were useless.

Begging for mercy with her beauty?

forget it.

The person in front of me doesn't seem like the type to fall for this kind of thing at all.

Those purplish-red eyes were utterly devoid of warmth.

These two people are probably also here for the wordless book.

They would never let a third person know the secret of the wordless book.

As Yun Qingzi predicted, things turned out just as she had expected.

These silver needles that shot towards him didn't even prompt Gu Yun to change the trajectory of his White Soul Sword to block them; in fact, he didn't even glance at them, because Werner would take them for him.

The two worked together without words.

Once Werner's identity is exposed, there will be virtually no survivors, even if it's not the lure of the wordless book.

Gu Yun is not a champion of justice; I'm giving you a chance to fight him one-on-one.

Doubles requires doubles teamwork.

Since Werner ended his battle with Yunming in one fell swoop, there was no need for him to expend any effort to block these silver needles.

Although Gu Yun felt that even if he toughed it out, it wouldn't be a big problem.

A flash of black light.

Werner naturally and tacitly swept away the incoming silver needles for Gu Yun.

Yun Qingzi's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.

Can't you even stop me for a second?

A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. He shifted his body to the right, choosing to sacrifice his left arm to withstand Gu Yun's sword strike.

In an instant.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.

Bloody severed limbs tumbled in the air, carrying a suffocatingly pungent stench of blood.

Extreme pain surged through her consciousness like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf her.

But in the end, the will to survive prevailed.

It was precisely because of this extreme stimulation that her movements quickened considerably. She quickly bit her tongue, wiped her blood-stained lips with her fingertips, and then pressed hard between her eyebrows.

The pale yellow crescent moon mark on Yun Qingzi's forehead instantly turned blood red.

Her face aged considerably in that instant.

Gently pry open those blood-streaked teeth.

A chilling sound emanated from his throat.

"Blood Moon, Seal the Soul!"
