The World's Strongest, Yuwen Tuo (2)
However, another talisman flew out from the main hall. This time, the talisman was extremely fast, and Jade General could not dodge it in time. He had no choice but to use his sword to meet it. With a loud crash, the sword broke into pieces, and Jade General spat out a mouthful of blood, taking several steps back before regaining his balance.
Then a sharp laugh echoed from inside the hall.
Then Guiguzi walked out of the main hall. At this moment, the demonic energy around his body was even more intense, which clearly indicated that his cultivation had greatly increased.
He first glanced at Jade General, revealing a hint of disdain, then turned his gaze to Yu Wentuo behind him, his expression finally turning serious.
"It's you?"
Guiguzi clearly remembered this person. About ten years ago, this was the same person who ruined his plans. He never expected that the other party would come again this time.
However, things are different now. Guiguzi, whose cultivation has greatly improved, believes that he is not necessarily weaker than his opponent. Thinking of this, he chuckled.
Jade General, his sword destroyed by the enemy, was filled with resentment. He pointed at Guiguzi's nose and cursed, "You evil Daoist, you have committed evil deeds in the human world! I have come today to take your dog's life!"
Having said that, he once again channeled all his inner energy and lunged forward, but Guiguzi didn't even glance at him. He casually drew a talisman in the air and silently chanted, "Freeze."
In an instant, Jade General's body jolted, and he was unable to move. Looking again, he saw that the sorcerer's withered palm was already striking towards his forehead.
"It's over." Jade General closed his eyes, awaiting death.
However, Guiguzi's palm strike ultimately failed to hit him; it was Yu Wentuo intervened at the crucial moment to save him.
A monstrous aura transformed into an invisible sword, hurtling towards Guiguzi. The latter had no choice but to abandon his attack and retreat. Wherever that aura passed, Guiguzi's magic became ineffective. Jade General felt a lightness in his body and knew that he had been saved by the Grand Tutor. He quickly retreated, first bowing to Yu Wentuo, then angrily stepping aside.
He knew that what happened next was beyond his control.
Yu Wentuo opened his slightly closed eyes and first said to Dugu Ningke beside him, "Little Princess, please step back. Jade General, your duty is to protect the Little Princess. Leave everything else to me."
Then, shifting his gaze to Guiguzi, Yu Wentuo took a step forward.
"Truly a master."
Li Wei was watching from a distance, couldn't help but admire him. He knew very well that although Yu Wentuo only took a simple step, the momentum contained within it resonated with the surrounding environment and air. If the opponent was not careful, he would be intimidated by this momentum.
Green Conch, standing to the side, was also completely convinced. At first, she had heard the fat man describe how remarkable Yu Wentuo was, and now that she had seen him in person, she realized he was indeed extraordinary.
"What do we do now?" Zheng Yutong asked in a low voice.
Li Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's observe for a while. Our goal is to kill Guiguzi. Once he's dead, the demonic energy within the townspeople won't worsen. Then, with the aid of my demonic energy, we can heal them..."
Green Conch understood Li Wei's meaning: to help Yu Wentuo kill Guiguzi when necessary. So she placed her hand on Green Conch Sword, paying attention to the changing situation on the field.
However, Li Wei also paid attention to Dugu Ningke; her appearance was completely unexpected.
There wasn't even the slightest hint about her during the mission, so why was she here?
As Fatty had said, the real Princess Dugu Ningke of the Great Sui in the game died of illness at the age of one. The Dugu Ningke in front of us is a female general from the Western Demon Realm. She possessed the body of the deceased Dugu Ningke and took her place. Her only goal was to ensure that the Demon Realm could invade the Central Plains.
It could be said that she was a more terrifying demon than Guiguzi.
However, judging from this mission alone, there doesn't seem to be any connection with the other party. Perhaps this Dugu Ningke just happened to appear here. Of course, Li Wei isn't particularly interested in her demon realm invasion plan. As long as he can complete the mission in Chishui Town, he will return to Shadow Street.
Thinking of this, Xue Lian'er's image reappeared in Li Wei's mind.
If I leave, will she be heartbroken? Will she continue to wait for me? You know, she has been waiting here for Wei Bin for a full 300 years.
Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a heaviness in his heart. Perhaps, he could take her away from this world and let her also become a reincarnator.
Yes, why not? Even Zhang Sanfeng, Dongfang Bubai, and Green Conch were brought out by him, as well as Nina from the very beginning. They were all people from the mission world. They were all flesh and blood, real people, and in the end, they all became his companions.
With this plan in mind, Li Wei's mood suddenly improved. He had already decided that after finding Xue Lian'er, he would have her sign the Yellow Paper, since he had promised Wei Bin to take good care of her.
Li Wei, whose mood suddenly improved, cast aside his distracting thoughts and focused intently on watching the upcoming battle.
After hearing Yu Wentuo's words, Dugu Ningke pouted, but she also knew that his strength was no less than what she had hidden. In addition, she had feelings of admiration for Yu Wentuo, so she obediently retreated to the back.
Looking at Yu Wentuo again, he continued to walk forward step by step. Although it was slow, Guiguzi's expression became more and more serious.
"Ten years ago, I stopped you from harming the people. I never expected that ten years later you would not repent and would once again use evil arts to harm people. I observed the stars the other day and knew your plan. Today I have come to get rid of you so that you will not continue to do evil." After Yu Wentuo finished speaking, he raised his hand and withdrew with a palm strike. Instantly, ice crystals and snowflakes quickly gathered around him and attacked Guiguzi.
Yu Wentuo is known as the best in the world, and this is not an empty title, nor is it solely due to the advantage of the Xuanyuan Sword. His own cultivation and strength are also second to none.
Seeing the icy snowflakes approaching, Guiguzi dared not be careless. He opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of black gas, which then transformed into a demonic beast that blocked Guiguzi's path.
The icy snowflakes struck the demonic beast, but Guiguzi remained unharmed. At the same time, he also unleashed his own offensive Daoist techniques.
"Hmph, you ruined my grand plan ten years ago, and today I will avenge those ten years of grudges. Die!" Guiguzi's face was ferocious. With a wave of his sleeve, hundreds of Yin talismans rolled up on the ground. Judging from the scene, they had been laid out on the ground long ago. Yu Wentuo stepped on them, which meant that he had fallen into the trap from the very beginning.
The Yin talismans suddenly enveloped Yu Wentuo, who couldn't dodge in time. Seeing this, Guiguzi let out a wild laugh, "Haha, these were originally prepared for my traitorous disciple, but I didn't expect them to be used on you. Very well, I will extract your soul and refine it into Yin talismans. I'm sure their power will be extraordinary..."
Before Guiguzi could finish speaking, his expression froze, because the next second, the Yin Talisman, which resembled a cocoon, was shattered by a dozen sword energies that suddenly burst forth. Then, Yu Wentuo, with a gloomy face, appeared in the center of the arena.
What he held in his hand at that moment was none other than the golden divine weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword.
"How could mere sorcery possibly trap me?" Yu Wentuo said, raising the Xuanyuan Sword and drawing a sword beam.
Instantly, the sword light surged forward. With the sword in hand, Yu Wentuo's aura increased more than tenfold compared to before, and the power of the sword light he unleashed was unimaginable.
Seeing this, Guiguzi turned pale with fright and hurriedly summoned his natal Yin Talisman, the one that had blocked Li Wei's punch years ago, to protect himself. However, after being struck by the sword light, the Yin Talisman shattered into a ball of lightning and vanished without a trace. With his natal Yin Talisman destroyed, Guiguzi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with panic. He never imagined that ten years later, he would still be no match for this man. At this moment, Guiguzi's face finally turned deathly pale.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong?" Guiguzi immediately unleashed his exquisite Daoist arts, relentlessly attacking his opponent. However, under the Xuanyuan Sword, all attacks were like fleeting clouds, ethereal and invisible. At this moment, even the most clueless person could tell who held the absolute initiative. If Guiguzi didn't possess some extraordinary ability, he would likely die under the Xuanyuan Sword in a matter of moments.
"Yu Wentuo is too powerful! Guiguzi was beaten so badly that he couldn't fight back at all!" Green Conch was also surprised. She had fought with Guiguzi before and knew how terrifying his Daoist arts were. But now it seemed that Yu Wentuo was like an unshakable mountain. No matter how Guiguzi tried to fight him, he couldn't budge him an inch.
Li Wei was also deeply shocked. He had initially thought that the fat man's claim of Yu Wentuo being the number one in the world was somewhat exaggerated, but now it seemed that the other party truly deserved the title. Li Wei couldn't help but compare himself to the other party, and immediately shook his head with a wry smile. If they were to actually fight, he was afraid that he would only be able to escape by Shifting Forms and Changing Positions. Of course, if he could make good use of the Mirror Image, he would still have a fighting chance.
Looking at the field again, Guiguzi was already covered in sweat.
"No... impossible, my plan cannot fail!" Guiguzi knew he would surely die if things continued this way, so he roared as if he had made some difficult decision. He suddenly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
As Guiguzi formed hand seals, the blood mist lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate. Soon, it was absorbed back into Guiguzi's body, and Guiguzi face became increasingly ferocious.
Green Conch, who was watching from a distance, was stunned and immediately said, "Oh no! Is he trying to Demon Infusion? If he succeeds, the demonic energy will corrode his flesh. If it's not controlled, he will be devoured by the demonic energy and become a true demon."
