Ye Zhen's face lit up with surprise when he saw Gu Chen appear behind them to warn Liu Qing'er, Fang Xiu, Li Xingming, Wang Xiaoai, and him.
"Gu Chen! What are you doing here?!"
Seeing the delighted faces of his Group Chat friends, Gu Chen rolled his eyes and said irritably,
"Isn't it obvious? I lured away that Centurion-level Blood Qi Puppet, then followed the passage that appeared and ended up here. Let's get out first. What's sealed beneath that stone stele is the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's arm and part of his body. You don't want to face a monster like that, do you?!"
Only then did Liu Qing'er, Fang Xiu, Li Xingming, Wang Xiaoai, and Ye Zhen come to their senses. The five hurried after the other explorers, sprinting toward the exit.
Even as they ran, the five kept glancing back at the two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers standing where they were. Worry showed in their eyes.
"Come on. Stop looking. They just mastered the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter, and that woke the sealed remains of the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba. There's probably going to be a fierce fight..." Gu Chen ran with them toward the ruins' stone gate.
Blood Qi Puppets, Rare Medicine and Precious Grass, Pei Canghai—the Human Immortal Martial Dao Ancestor of Wu Ming—the cultivation method of the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter, and the dismembered, sealed Great Yuan Demon Master...
The scenario Gu Chen had created through Refine Falsehood Into Truth had been almost fully explored. It was time to bring it to an end. All that remained was to leave a mystery behind, show outsiders the power of Human Immortal Martial Dao, and earn another wave of Origin Points.
Crack, crack...
The enormous sealing stele soon split apart. Pitch-black blood seeped out, revealing an arm with sharp black nails and strange demonic markings, along with a section of the body attached to it. A savage malice radiated from the remains.
Sensing the aura of the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter emanating from the two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers, the sealed remains of the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba seemed to be provoked. He rode a streak of Dark Light straight at them, clawing viciously with both sharp-nailed hands.
As the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains lunged at them in a blur, the two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers reacted at once. They darted aside, then launched a furious counterattack without a trace of fear. Whether they had reached Pill Embracement or become Transforming Strength Great Boxers, they stood among the finest practitioners of National Martial Arts—formidable fighters who might not appear even among a thousand people.
The Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains looked uncanny. He wielded an ability that resembled a supernatural art, and he could still emerge and attack after centuries under seal. Yet the two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers, fresh from mastering the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter, felt no fear. Their Battle Intent burned.
"Haha... Interesting! I never thought I'd get the chance to fight the Great Yuan Dynasty Imperial Preceptor from centuries ago! Take my Three Emperors Cannon Punch!!" Without another word, Wang Tianba swung a fist at him.
Boom!!
His punch exploded through the air. Fierce, potent Yang Qi and Blood Power coated his fist—an offensive technique gained from mastering the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter. It had already surpassed Core Condensation Gang Qi's limit of striking one inch through the air, extending a full foot beyond his fist.
The uncanny Dark Light around the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains collided with the fierce Yang Qi and Blood Power. The impact forced Wang Tianba back several steps, while his opponent rode the Dark Light toward the others.
Li Hansha showed no fear either. He drove out a punch, and his Qi and Blood Power raised a wave of heat that smashed the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains away.
Fang Hansong and the other Transforming Strength Great Boxers activated the cultivation method of the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter as well. Qi and blood faintly followed every punch and kick, though their power was nowhere near as great as that of Pillaring Grandmasters like Wang Tianba and Li Hansha, who could project it a foot from their bodies as soon as they mastered the chapter.
After several exchanges, the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains, acting on instinct, were clearly no match for the two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers. He soon rode the Dark Light and darted away.
"He ran? Don't tell me that thing still has a mind and can think?!" Fang Hansong frowned, wariness crossing his face.
"He's been sealed for centuries. No matter how powerful the Great Yuan Demon Master's remains are, they can't defeat us now that we've mastered the Human Immortal Martial Dao Five Organs Chapter. What worries me is that he might have some strange ability we don't know about and undergo another change," Li Hansha said calmly.
The two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers exchanged glances, then immediately gave chase. The Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains moved swiftly, streaking through the Wu Ming Ruins on the Dark Light. He soon reached a mound of earth and plunged into it. Dirt burst apart, revealing a towering Legionary Commander-level Blood Qi Puppet with a golden identity plaque at its waist.
Slash!!
Dark Light flashed. Sharp nails severed the Blood Qi Puppet's upper body and arms from its lower half. The Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains pounced on the severed lower half. As Dark Light spread over it, a layer of fleshy tendrils grew from the bottom of his remains, quickly joining them to the puppet.
The two Pillaring Grandmasters and four Transforming Strength Great Boxers arrived to see this and frowned.
"Damn it! He can do that? How is that even fair?!" Wang Tianba cursed, stunned by what the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains had done.
"We have to stop him! If the Great Yuan Demon Master Pasba's remains piece together a complete body, he'll be even harder to deal with!!" Li Hansha stamped against the ground and drove out a punch, fierce Yang Qi and Blood Power coating his fist as he struck at the remains piecing together a complete body.*
