Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 555 Five Elements Flying Sword!

"No...spare my life..."

Xue Wulong's eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger and resentment. Then, he shouted and his brow suddenly burst open with a "poof".

Blood splattered everywhere, and Xue Wulong's eyes immediately lost their luster, becoming dull and lifeless.

A faint voice belonging to Gu Yuan echoed in the air: "Old ghost Gu Kong, you have no martial ethics, you go back on your word, you bully the weak! Xue Wulong's death is just the interest! Just wait, I'm no match for you now, but I will kill you myself sooner or later!"

"..."

Looking at the splattered blood on his hands, the gruesome death of Xue Wulong lying on the ground before him, and the various gazes around him—some openly shocked, some surprised, some gloating, some strange, some just watching the spectacle—his expression shifted constantly. He then let out a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the anger in his heart.

Gu Kong Laoguai knew that from now on, his name would probably become infamous!
Moreover, even if he returns to the mountain gate, he will be punished!
If he were to take action and capture or kill Gu Yuan, that would be fine; at most, there would be some minor trouble afterward.

The problem is that he not only broke the rules and made a move, but he also failed to catch Gu Yuan in time. Furthermore, Gu Yuan seized the opportunity to kill Xue Wulong right in front of him. This situation is absolutely terrible!

"Chuhe..."

Gu Kong gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment, anger, frustration, and helplessness. He wished he could tear Gu Yuan to pieces!
However, by now, it's too late.

After today, Gu Kong the Old Monster and Yu Qiao Immortal Palace will just have to wait for Gu Yuan's revenge!

……

Inside a simple cave on the seabed.

"Huh? The clone is dead..."

Gu Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, seemingly sensing the fall of his clone, as well as other things.

He formed a mudra with his hands, and his eyes flashed with light, as if he were performing some kind of strange supernatural power.

Before long, Gu Yuan put away the magic seal, and a look of realization appeared on his face: "Oh, so he was killed by the Yang God powerhouse Gu Kong Old Monster of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace."

"That damned old monster Gu Kong, he has no martial ethics... A mere old geezer of the Yang God realm bullies a young hero like me in my early twenties, he's utterly shameless... One day, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget..."

Gu Yuan started muttering to himself:
"Fortunately, when my clone was running away, he killed Xue Wulong as well, which was a way to vent my anger. Consider it as collecting interest in advance."

Gu Yuan admitted that luck played a part in the reason why his clone was able to kill Xue Wulong.

Xue Wulong possessed a formidable physique, being a true body cultivator. His entire body was practically indestructible, and even ordinary magical treasures would likely find it difficult to harm him. He was simply an unbreakable copper pea!

If it were a serious fight, Gu Yuan wasn't confident he could defeat him in a short time.

However, although this guy has a strong physique, his cultivation in the spiritual realm is only average.

On the contrary, Gu Yuan's spiritual cultivation far surpasses that of his peers. Although he cannot compare to powerful Yin God giants like Xiu Daozhen and Yan Chunyang, ordinary Yin God giants are far inferior to Gu Yuan in this aspect.

In addition, his great supernatural power, the Dream Flower, also possessed mysterious and unpredictable power, so... he simply used this great supernatural power directly to pull Xue Wulong's soul and consciousness into the dream.

Moreover, it's not an ordinary dream, but a deep and special dream, which is then trapped by layers of illusions.

Even though Xue Wulong's will was strong enough to break free from the dream, what followed was still a series of dreams and illusions. In a short time, however, a long time had passed in Xue Wulong's consciousness. He eventually began to lose the ability to distinguish between reality and dreams, and Gu Yuan seized the opportunity to slay his soul, causing his death and the dissipation of his spiritual essence!

So, Xue Wulong was really unlucky.

However, most of them deserved it.

Who told him to be a disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace?

However, the Innate Qi Great Capture technique used by the old monster Gu Kong, especially the Five Elements Divine Power it incorporated, greatly benefited Gu Yuan and gave him many insights.

He also had some ingenious ideas about the Five Elements Sword Dao Formation.

In the following months, Gu Yuan simply calmed down and went into seclusion to study swordsmanship and formations.

Nearly a year has passed, and Gu Yuan has finally begun to refine some of his ideas.

Inside the training room at this moment.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged.

Before him hovered five flying swords.

These five flying swords were all water swords formed by Gu Yuan condensing the water vapor between heaven and earth. However, although they were water swords, at this moment, the five flying swords emitted five kinds of spiritual light: snow white, jade green, pure blue, fiery red, and earth yellow.

Furthermore, the five flying swords each possessed a distinct aura, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

At this moment, under Gu Yuan's control, the five flying swords of the Five Elements cooperated with each other, changing unpredictably, restraining and evolving with each other, and were simply ever-changing.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood—wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood…

A vital, ever-flowing, and incomparably sharp aura subtly emanated, suppressing the entire cave and even spreading outwards.

Even fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to sense the danger and fled in panic, causing considerable panic.

Gu Yuan, who had witnessed this scene, smiled with satisfaction. Then, with a thought, the five flying swords in front of him underwent other changes, splitting into two, then four, and finally eight.

In the blink of an eye, 365 flying swords appeared in Gu Yuan's training room, filling it to the brim.

As soon as Gu Yuan had a thought, the entire cave seemed to collapse and cave in.

These three hundred-plus flying swords, trailing long, multicolored tails, quickly formed a sword formation.

The sword strike appeared imposing and domineering, filled with killing intent, covering a space of dozens of miles in radius. Everything tangible and intangible that was caught in the attack, whether it was underground reefs and corals, shells, fish and crabs, or water currents, was pulverized and then expelled.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan then dispersed the Five Elements Sword Dao Formation.

"Indeed, this Five Elements Sword Dao Formation is based on the Five Elements and uses the Five Elements Sword Dao. Moreover, it can evolve and operate endlessly. Its power is far greater than the sword techniques and thunder magic I use. Although this is only the case after perfecting the calculations, it still demonstrates the potential of this Five Elements Sword Dao Formation..."

Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly. This was just the large array he had set up using flying swords formed from water vapor condensed by his magic power. If these five flying swords were replaced with real magic weapon-level flying swords, their power would definitely increase by a lot.
