The air suddenly became quiet.
Poyun Warship.
In a luxurious and spacious cabin.
Zhu Yu looked at the suddenly appearing Luo Xiu, his face turning ashen, his body trembling uncontrollably. He slowly moved his weakened legs to hide behind Gu Yuelong.
Toward this man in front of him, he felt nothing but extreme fear and a shadow that couldn't be cast away.
However, compared to Zhu Yu, Gu Yuelong was unusually calm at this moment.
The old man looked at Luo Xiu with a calm gaze and suddenly said, "This old man's bones are insignificant, Your Majesty can take them anytime. However, right now, this old man thinks Your Majesty should have a talk with an old friend."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu thought that the "old friend" Gu Yuelong referred to was himself.
But then Luo Xiu frowned, realizing Gu Yuelong was referring to someone else.
One by one, figures in battle armor flickered in, moving extremely fast, filling the cabin in the blink of an eye, tightly surrounding Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu slowly glanced around, with even more murderous intent in his eyes.
The battle armors these figures were wearing were Heavenly Armor!
Presumably, these were the comrades of the Heaven's Aegis Army, the "old friends" that Gu Yuelong mentioned just now.
However... none of these comrades from the Heaven's Aegis Army were still alive; they were all corpses!
The corpses were withered and decayed, their faces twisted and hideous, their eye sockets long devoid of eyeballs, only a wisp of flickering green flame.
Luo Xiu looked at Gu Yuelong and said coldly, "Are they all from the Heaven's Aegis Army?"
Gu Yuelong smiled slightly, his right hand hidden behind his back lightly pinching something, as if preparing some sort of Taoist Art, and said softly, "Back then, your brother recovered their bodies to obtain these three thousand sets of Divine Armor."
Luo Xiu's gaze darkened slightly, Sword Intent faintly flowing around him, the space gradually warped, and he said blandly, "It's a pity he couldn't separate the Divine Armor from these bodies."
Gu Yuelong smiled and said, "So, they could only settle for the second best, refining these once-dominant Heaven's Aegis War Generals into Corpse Thralls using Secret Technique."
He continued, "It's worth mentioning that these Corpse Thralls can basically exert their full power before death, and they also have Divine Armor to protect their bodies. Your Majesty must be more aware than this old man of how remarkable the Heavenly Armor is."
"Thus, I shall not disturb Your Majesty's reminiscing with old friends. I will take my leave first."
Luo Xiu's figure suddenly flickered, transforming into a Four-colored Thunderclap that pierced through the encirclement, appearing instantly in front of Gu Yuelong.
"It's not too late to reminisce after I've slain you!"
Gu Yuelong felt a slight shock in his heart, but he was not panicked. He pulled Zhu Yu and retreated gracefully.
That seemingly old and frail body burst out with great power at this moment, and his figure was incredibly agile.
Luo Xiu swung his sword horizontally, but it merely cut off his beard with Sword Qi.
Gu Yuelong, who had been prepared, suddenly thrust out his right hand, and a Brass Mini Cauldron flew out from his palm, emitting grand Spirit Light. Before Luo Xiu could react, he inexplicably appeared in another world.
Original location.
Gu Yuelong's gaze followed the strand of beard still floating in the air until it lightly landed on the ground, and only then did he come back to himself.
Thinking about Luo Xiu's sword just now, his heart was filled with lingering fear.
Zhu Yu patted his chest with his hand and said, "Thanks to General Gu's timely action, otherwise... we might have died on the spot."
Gu Yuelong lowered his head, staring at the Brass Mini Cauldron floating above his palm, his expression contemplative.
Suddenly, without hesitation, he threw the Brass Mini Cauldron into the depths of Tianhe.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu was full of confusion, even feeling a sense of heartbreak, "Such a Divine Artifact, General Gu, you just threw it away like that?"
Gu Yuelong glanced at him, "As good as a Divine Artifact is, it's not more important than life. Throwing it into Tianhe, it can also absorb flowing thunder, and maybe even refine it."
Zhu Yu was amazed, "You mean... this cauldron can't hold him?"
Gu Yuelong said lightly, "It can hold him, since even those two Gods couldn't get out from inside, but this old man isn't completely sure... that this mini cauldron can definitely hold the Azure Emperor."
"Time is of the essence, we better hurry up and retreat."
"..."
...
Luo Xiu stood with his sword, looking around at the roiling sea of molten lava, suddenly having a foreboding feeling.
He suddenly raised his sword to block horizontally, firmly blocking the scythe that appeared in front of him as if out of thin air.
A sound of clashing metal rang out.
The pitch-black shining scythe spun backward and finally landed in a small fair hand.
"Bastard, here we go again!"
Lin Tong cursed angrily, once again throwing the scythe towards Luo Xiu.
At the same time, without Luo Xiu knowing when, Immortal, who appeared behind him, waved with both hands, throwing two clusters of Indestructible Divine Flame towards Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu defended against the attacks from both the front and back without rushing, though he didn't understand why Lin Tong and Immortal were attacking him.
Facing the flying Reaper's Scythe, Luo Xiu casually repelled it with a sword, then took out the Sun Well with the other hand, directly absorbing the two flames flying at him.
Seeing this, Immortal widened his eyes and flew to Lin Tong's side, saying, "This illusion can even use Little Mule's Magical Treasure!"
Lin Tong grabbed the returning scythe, his expression becoming serious, "Be careful, this time the illusion seems very strong, it doesn't even feel like an illusion."
Luo Xiu studied the two of them and suddenly realized something, quickly saying, "Wait, I'm real, not an illusion."
Immortal said grumpily, "Illusions would all say that!"
Luo Xiu: "..."
Lin Tong sneered coldly, "These illusions I've obliterated these days are countless, you're just another one of them."
Suddenly turning to Immortal, "I'll go deal with him, you stay on standby!"
Immortal nodded heavily.
In the next instant, Lin Tong transformed into a black shadow, carrying horrifying death aura, flying towards Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu immediately switched to the Grim Reaper Form, cursing, "Lin Tong, you scoundrel, I'm real!"
"Bangββ!"
A loud clash echoed, The Void trembled.
The two men flew backward for hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing themselves in the void.
Luo Xiu felt his sword-hand slightly numb, secretly sighing as expected from a Divine Body.
Though Lin Tong was currently just a junior god, not fully developed, his Divine Body and Divine Power were genuine.
If not for Refining Myself to Honor and further strengthening Thunder Path Physique with Demon God's Divine Husk, that blow just now would have been difficult for Luo Xiu to withstand.
Meanwhile.
Lin Tong was also surprised.
This illusion was not only more real than before; even he couldn't spot any anomaly, with even more strength.
"Damn... this is getting interesting, let's do it again!"
Lin Tong laughed loudly, flying at Luo Xiu once more.
Seeing Lin Tong unmoved by reasoning or threats, Luo Xiu felt utterly frustrated.
Fighting a genuine god, this truly was stress-inducing.
"Since you won't listen, I'll have to beat you down first, then explain!"
Luo Xiu unfolded the Thunder Wing on his back, transforming into a streak of Four-Colored Thunder racing ahead.
"Sword One: Roaming Dragon Sword Salute!"
"..."
ββββββββ
It was my birthday yesterday, and before the sky even turned dark, those bastards dragged me out to drink.
Didn't wake up until this afternoon.
So no updates.
I'm not asking for much here, just go easy on me.
