Tactics and the Remaining Team Members

Deep within the Jingyang Mountain Range.

The night was as dark as ink, with only a solitary moon hanging high. Its cold, clear radiance spilled onto the undulating mountain ridges, reflecting a chilling, metallic glint unique to mineral veins.

Vegetation was sparse here, with jagged rocks and a faint scent of rust and danger permeating the air.

"Just ahead."

Gu Yuejin stopped, a flicker of golden light flashing in his eyes.

With his vast spiritual power, comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, not a rustle of leaves within a ten-mile radius could escape his perception.

Huo Yuhao held his breath, his gaze following his master's.

In a hollow ahead, hundreds of pairs of eerie green eyes lit up in the darkness, like ghostly flames.

They were a pack of giant wolves, entirely silver-white, their fur standing on end like steel needles.

Silver Moon Wolves.

And at the very center of the pack, atop a massive protruding rock, stood a beast over five meters long.

Its fur wasn't ordinary silver-white, but flowed like mercury, shimmering with an unusual iridescence under the moonlight. Most mystically, in the center of its forehead, a cluster of golden fur formed a crescent moon shape, faintly emitting a dazzling spiritual fluctuation.

"Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King."

Gu Yuejin's voice was calm, yet carried the satisfaction of a hunter spotting prey.

"Spirit attribute, primarily cultivating illusion techniques and mental shock, with considerable close-combat ability."

"Yuhao, this will be more than enough for your third spirit ring."

"Awooooo--!!!"

As if sensing the intruders' presence, the Wolf King suddenly threw its head back and let out a long howl.

Instantly, the hundreds of Silver Moon Wolves in the hollow moved in unison, surging towards the master and disciple like a silver tide, their killing intent filling the air.

Facing this wolf pack's assault, enough to make an ordinary Soul Emperor retreat, Huo Yuhao instinctively prepared to activate Spiritual Detection Share, ready to fight.

However, a hand landed on his shoulder.

"These small fry aren't worth your effort."

Gu Yuejin stepped forward, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Watch closely. Clearing the battlefield is also an art."

BOOM--!

Before his words had even fallen, Gu Yuejin's figure had already vanished from his original position.

He was like a black phantom, instantly cutting into the silver tide.

He hadn't used his Martial Soul True Body, nor had he even released any soul skills.

He relied solely on the extreme attributes granted by the Water Fire Dragon King Soul Bone, and his terrifying physique reshaped by the Immortal Herb.

His left hand was crimson, a prairie fire; his right hand was ice blue, a freezing frost.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

He strolled through the wolf pack, and with every strike, a Silver Moon Wolf would cry out and be sent flying backward, either burned to a crisp or frozen into an ice sculpture.

The wolf pack, originally ferocious, was as fragile as paper in front of him.

As if entering an uninhabited realm!

As if casually cutting grass!

In just a few dozen breaths, more than half of the dense wolf pack had been cleared, and the remaining ones tucked their tails and whimpered backward, their eyes filled with fear.

On the rock, the Ten Thousand Year Silver Moon Wolf King finally couldn't sit still.

It let out a furious roar, and the crescent moon pattern on its forehead shone brightly, sending a visible mental shockwave straight towards Gu Yuejin's brow.

"A mere dabbler."

Gu Yuejin snorted coldly, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

An even more domineering mental pressure instantly rebounded.

"Awooo--!"

The wolf king let out a miserable cry, its massive body rolling off the rock, blood flowing from its seven orifices, its Sea of Consciousness severely wounded.

Before it could even get up, a foot heavily stomped onto its head.

"Yuhao, come here."

Gu Yuejin, stepping on the dying wolf king, beckoned to his disciple not far away.

"I'll leave the final blow to you."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, calming the shock in his heart.

His Master's power, no matter how many times he witnessed it, always made him feel like looking up at a towering mountain.

He drew the White Tiger Dagger from his waist, strode forward quickly, condensed his soul power, and aimed at the wolf king's vital spot.

Just then.

"Ah--!! Help!!"

An extremely piercing cry for help suddenly came from the other side of the mountain range.

The voice was filled with despair and terror, sounding particularly jarring in the silent night.

Following that were bursts of nauseating Soul Power Explosion Sound, and a sinister, piercing cold laugh.

"Jie jie jie... Girl, run! Let's see where you can run to!"

Huo Yuhao's dagger paused abruptly, and he instinctively looked at Gu Yuejin.

Gu Yuejin frowned slightly. He applied a little more force to the foot that was on the Wolf King's head, directly stunning it to prevent it from moving erratically.

"In this wilderness, there are still people?"

He closed his eyes, and his vast Spiritual Power instantly spread out like a tide.

A few breaths later.

Gu Yuejin's eyes snapped open, a hint of surprise and solemnity flashing in those Golden Eyes.

"This is interesting..."

Within his Spiritual Perception, in a valley several miles away.

A girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was desperately fleeing.

The girl was wearing blood-stained White Tight Clothes. Although her face was pale as paper, it couldn't hide her Elegant and Refined, Stunning Face.

What was most eye-catching was her Martial Soul.

It was a slender Light Sword, but behind the Light Sword, a Holy Angel Phantom vaguely appeared, emitting a Pure and Bright aura.

Every time she swung the Light Sword, it would unleash a wave of golden holy fire, causing considerable trouble for the Pursuers behind her.

"This is... the Holy Angel Martial Soul?"

As a Transmigrator who had read the Original Work thoroughly, Gu Yuejin recognized this iconic Martial Soul almost at a glance.

"Ye Guyi?"

His heart stirred slightly.

The top Genius from the Original Work, the Holy Angel Soul Master who possessed a strong counter to Evil Soul Masters, was encountered at this time and place?

And the three people chasing her...

He was completely shrouded in a black robe, with a black mist intertwined with blood and resentment swirling around him, his soul power fluctuations strange and sinister.

"Evil Soul Master."

Gu Yuejin was somewhat surprised.

The three people cooperated tacitly, forming a piecemeal shape to surround her, clearly enjoying the thrill of the cat-and-mouse game and not rushing to deliver a killing blow.

But even so, every attack that landed left a wound on Ye Guyi that could be seen to the bone.

Especially the black-robed person at the head, who exuded soul power fluctuations at the Soul Emperor level, was looking at the dying girl with a playful expression.

"Angel Martial Soul... this is the natural enemy of Evil Soul Masters, and also the best supplement."

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu Yuejin's mind.

In the current reserve team, although control, burst, and defense were all present, there was a lack of a "Purifier" that could target Evil Soul Masters.

And in future competitions and even the continental situation, that tumor of the Holy Spirit Cult was an obstacle that absolutely could not be bypassed.

If he could subdue Ye Guyi...

"Yuhao, don't worry about the Wolf King for now, he won't die."

Gu Yuejin made a decisive move, grabbing Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll show you what true 'darkness' is."

"By the way, I'll find you a new teammate."

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuejin exerted force under his feet, turning himself into a streamer and speeding towards the direction of the cries for help.

Within a few breaths, the two had crossed the mountains and arrived at the scene.

Gu Yuejin did not reveal himself immediately, but brought Huo Yuhao to hide behind a large rock, concealing his entire aura.

In the valley below, Ye Guyi had been forced into a desperate situation.

She leaned against the cliff, the light sword in her hand dim, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with despair, yet still showing an unyielding stubbornness.

"Holy Light has a natural restraint against evil."

"It's a pity that her soul power level is too low, only around the fourth ring Soul Ancestor."

"And the opposite side..."

Gu Yuejin's gaze swept over the three Black Robed People, instantly judging their strength.

"Two Soul Kings, one Soul Emperor."

"And a well-coordinated team of Evil Soul Masters."

This lineup was indeed a death sentence for Ye Guyi at her current level.

"Master, are those... Evil Soul Masters?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the bloody scene below, sensing the nauseatingly evil aura. A trace of disgust and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"That's right."

Gu Yuejin nodded, his voice low and calm.

"Yuhao, are you ready?"

"These three people are perfect for testing the results of your recent special training."

He turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao and issued the combat order:

"Activate Spiritual Detection Share. I want you to transmit every single movement, every trace of soul power flow from these three people, precisely into my mind."

"Cooperate with me to save them."

"At the same time... this will also be the first practical test of your new tactical system."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, the panic in his eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by a calm as cold as ice and snow.

"Yes, Master!"

Hummm--

A purple-gold light lit up in his eyes.

Spirit Eyes, fully activated!

An invisible wave of spiritual energy instantly enveloped the entire valley battlefield, feeding the states of the three Evil Soul Masters and Ye Guyi back into Gu Yuejin's mind without any blind spots.

"Very good."

Gu Yuejin felt the incredibly clear God's Eye view, and a bloodthirsty sneer curved his lips.

"The hunt... begins."
