All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 269 Third-Order Battle
As the dragon's roar spread, powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy rose from the north and rapidly approached the four people.

"No way? Could it be that damned beast?!"

Upon hearing the familiar dragon's roar, Xiong Lei's expression changed drastically.

Compared to that unknown breakthrough user, the Ink Dragon is more than ten times more terrifying.

Back then, the five Venerables besieged the Ink Dragon and paid a heavy price, but they still failed to kill it. However, the Ink Dragon was also seriously injured. This beast is so vengeful; if they were to meet face to face, things would probably not end well today.

"If nothing unexpected happens, they are indeed coming for us." Among the four, Yun Lie, the strongest, also looked solemn.

"What should we do? Should we fight back?" Baili Hongling frowned. After Mo Jiao severely injured the Ice Spirit Clan's Venerable, his injuries must be even more serious. Now, even though the chances of winning are slim with four against one, they can at least protect themselves.

However, that black dragon seemed to have mental problems, often fighting desperately when it attacked.

Unless they could actually kill the Ink Dragon, the four of them were unwilling to engage in a pointless battle with it, as it would bring them no benefit whatsoever.

"This is probably not something we can choose," Tu Lu said helplessly. The next moment, his eyes widened as he looked directly upwards.

"They're here! So fast!!"

Xiong Lei, Yun Lie, and Baili Hongling also looked up at the same time.

Wow!
A sound like waves echoed between heaven and earth, and a huge vortex of spiritual energy rapidly condensed above the four people's heads, forming a water-attribute magical power that seemed to be tangible.

The pitch-black magic drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, from streams to rivers, and then to the vast oceans that blotted out the sky, turning the entire sky pitch black in a very short time.

Black mist spread out, as if space itself was distorted.

Before the black dragon even made a move, its imposing aura caused the four of them to tense up.

"Calm your mind! Don't fall for illusions!"

Yun Lie shouted a warning.

Having experienced the previous battle, the four had gained a deep understanding of the Black Dragon's supernatural powers.

The current Mo Jiao is still significantly different from its former glory.

The seemingly overwhelming water-attribute magic above his head was more than 90% an illusion created by the Poison Dragon's bloodline supernatural power, 'Heavenly Poison Mirage'.

Otherwise, if the ocean of magical power above their heads were real, then the four of them wouldn't need to fight at all; they could simply surrender.

Even if a third-tier expert can communicate with heaven and earth, they cannot create such a terrifying magical phenomenon.

Of course, although the illusions formed by the Heavenly Poison Mirage have no real killing power against third-tier experts, the pressure brought by that terrifying aura makes it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

If one is not careful, one could very well be injured by the black dragon hidden within, since there is one part truth within nine parts falsehood.

Moreover, the Ink Dragon's other bloodline divine ability, 'Poison Dragon True Blood,' is extremely poisonous, and even a powerful third-tier natal Gu worm cannot withstand it for long.

Mo Jiao is far from his peak now, but none of the four have fully recovered from their injuries.

Most importantly, Mo Jiao was fearless and undaunted by death, while the four of them cherished their lives very much.

The four stood back to back, and none of them had any thought of deserting.

Because the black dragon is extremely fast, anyone who tries to escape alone will surely die if caught by it.

"Don't linger in the fight. Let's first test how much fighting power the Ink Dragon still has. We..." Xiong Lei transmitted his voice to the other three using his mental power.

Rumble!
A colossal wave suddenly surged up, and a massive tsunami crashed down, its terrifying roar shaking the mind and interrupting Xiong Lei's next words.

"Scatter! Attack together!" Yun Lie shouted, his wings flapped, and he soared into the sky. His wings turned blue and purple at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a large number of fine silver-white arcs of electricity gathered around his body.

Puff puff!
In the next instant, the feathers on his back stood on end, merging with the arc of electricity, like a torrent of arrows rushing towards the giant wave. Xiong Lei was not slow either; hairs as sharp as steel needles grew from his skin, and his once handsome face began to twist and swell, rapidly growing fangs like those of a wild beast.

"Roar!"

In just a few breaths, he transformed into a towering bear thirty feet tall, with three pairs of translucent wings as thin as cicada wings on his back. Although he appeared to be enormous and slow-moving, he could fly hundreds of feet away with a slight flap of his wings.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The flying giant bear pounded its chest, producing a deafening roar, and tangible sound waves shot out from its mouth, spreading outwards in ripples towards the sky.

The sound wave was even faster than Yun Lie's lightning arrows, and it collided with the towering wave immediately, momentarily halting the downward momentum of the wave and causing it to freeze in mid-air.

Click!

Unfortunately, the sound waves did not last more than a breath before dissipating.

However, taking advantage of this gap, Tu Lu and Baili Hongling finally made their move.

Boom boom boom! ! !
A one-eyed giant with a single horn on its head, ten arms under its ribs, and a size of a hundred feet, broke through the black mist barrier. Its fists, as big as houses, blasted out in unison, and hundreds and thousands of dark fist shadows formed a dense net that briefly dispelled the darkness of the sky.

Baili Hongling, who made the final move, swelled up rapidly and then exploded, transforming into dozens of tiny, black figures about a foot tall, which quickly disappeared into the void.

"Roar~!"

The combined power of the four is so great that it can instantly injure or even kill a Grandmaster-level expert.

However, as the giant wave dissipated, a hundred-foot-long dragon burst forth from it, spewing out a cloud of crimson mist. Wherever it passed, the four Venerables were terrified and retreated in fear.

"I have a suggestion!" Tu Lu suddenly transmitted his voice.

"What proposal?!"

"Why don't we lure this beast to that person? When that person broke through, it was earth-shattering, clearly indicating extremely profound foundations. Even if he is no match for the Ink Dragon, he is currently at a critical moment in his breakthrough and cannot move lightly. As long as the Ink Dragon shifts its target, we can escape."

"If we meet again, it will be an irreconcilable feud." Baili Hongling hesitated.

"That will have to wait until he escapes from the Black Dragon's clutches. Besides, this beast was probably attracted by the noise of his breakthrough. We're just letting it find its true master." Tu Lu smiled coldly.

“This plan is feasible!” Yun Lie quickly replied, “Even if that person has already successfully broken through, we can still drag him down with us and deal with the Ink Dragon together.”

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!" Without saying a word, Xiong Lei fled directly towards the valley where Zhou Qing was.

at the same time.

Valley Center.

Zhou Qing has now truly entered the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Above the dantian, the third primordial aperture has also condensed, and three seeds of magical power have taken shape.

Erqing immediately entered the third acupoint to absorb the seed of magical power.

"So this is the third tier?"

Zhou Qing felt an unprecedented sense of power; he felt as if he had become one with heaven and earth, and that he was heaven and earth.

Even after the breakthrough ended, the vortex of spiritual energy did not dissipate, because Zhou Qing was still tempering his martial will.

In order to make his martial will strong enough, he even gave up on letting the Water Spirit Corpse break through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and poured all the spiritual energy it attracted into his martial will.

"With such a powerful foundation, I wonder how it compares to that black dragon, in terms of strength and weakness."

Zhou Qing felt that he was very strong now, but he needed a reference point to judge just how strong he was.
