All Turned into Idiots, Gu Yuan Takes Three Away

"Damn! They had backup." The Grand Elder cursed inwardly, and the chaotic Dou Qi within him, which he had yet to sort out, instantly tensed.

Gu Yuan closed in and swung his sword. Three thousand-foot sword auras shot rapidly toward the Soul Clan's four elders.

The sword auras crisscrossed, forcing the Soul Clan's four elders to scatter apart.

Under Gu Yuan's precise calculations, the mid-eight-star Grand Elder was forced toward Lin Yang, while the other three elders were driven toward Gu Yuan himself.

Gu Yuan did not stop. He swung his sword again and charged at the three elders.

On Lin Yang's side, he directly swung his sword at the Grand Elder.

His swordsmanship was fairly ordinary, but with three swings, he still unleashed countless tiny fire blades.

The fire blades were densely packed, every strike containing the terrifying heat of a Heavenly Flame.

Like sparrows pecking at an elephant, their power was small, but countless fire blades could still produce a formidable offensive.

Seeing the fire blades blot out the sky as they came at him, the Grand Elder hurriedly raised the Heavenly Soul Shield.

The fire blades struck the Heavenly Soul Shield, erupting in a series of explosive blasts.

Under the relentless barrage of fire blades, the Heavenly Soul Shield finally cracked apart.

Seeing that the moment was right, Lin Yang directly took out three jade bottles containing Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus and threw them over.

Hidden among the fire blades, the jade bottles flew straight into the Heavenly Soul Shield under their cover.

The three Buddha's Fury Fire Lotuses violently exploded. The three fused together, their power multiplying, and a heaven-shaking mushroom cloud swallowed the Grand Elder whole.

The already-cracked Heavenly Soul Shield could not hold out at all.

The Grand Elder had never expected Lin Yang to have such a move.

Within the fiery tide, the Grand Elder spat out three mouthfuls of blood.

When the flames dispersed, he was already severely weakened.

Seeing that Lin Yang had succeeded, Gu Yuan slashed back the other three elders. His soul power surged, and his Emperor Realm soul formed into a sky-piercing soul spear that shot straight toward the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder could not help spitting out another mouthful of blood. Alarmed, he gritted his teeth and raised the Heavenly Soul Shield.

However, at this moment,

His injuries had only worsened. How could he possibly withstand Gu Yuan's attack?

The soul spear directly pierced through the Heavenly Soul Shield and brutally stabbed into his sea of consciousness.

The Grand Elder possessed only a peak Heavenly Realm soul. How could he endure the full-force strike of an Emperor Realm soul?

Just like Hun Yan, the Grand Elder's eyes rolled back. He seemed to lose consciousness and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Boss!"

The remaining three elders let out anguished cries. Gritting their teeth, they used the Blood Restriction Technique and attacked Gu Yuan together.

"Gu Yuan, die!" A combined strike that consumed thirty percent of their blood essence was enough to leave even a nine-star Dou Saint in a miserable state.

Gu Yuan sneered. Prepared in advance, he took out the Ancient Emperor Shield and held it before him.

The Blood Restriction attack slammed viciously into the Ancient Emperor Shield. Gu Yuan merely felt his blood and Qi churn for a moment before suppressing it.

The Ancient Emperor Shield completely blocked the attack.

"What? The Ancient Emperor Shield! Wasn't that thing shattered a thousand years ago? How could it have been restored?"

The three men were shocked. However,

Gu Yuan gave them no chance to catch their breath. He exchanged a glance with Lin Yang.

The two once again swung their swords and charged at the three elders.

Lin Yang took one of the three, while Gu Yuan faced two alone.

The three had barely been able to join forces and fend off Gu Yuan before, but now, with only two of them, they were no match for him at all.

Very soon, after more than a dozen exchanges,

Gu Yuan seized an opening and heavily wounded one of them with a single sword strike.

Then, he launched a frenzied assault on the other. After ten moves, he heavily wounded him as well.

On Lin Yang's side, he did not use his full strength. He merely kept his opponent occupied while waiting for Gu Yuan to finish the battle.

With the two suffering successive heavy injuries, Gu Yuan gave them no opportunity to recover. He directly unleashed a high-grade Heaven-tier Dou Technique and slashed out a heaven-shaking sword strike.

The two had little strength left. They were sent flying by the sword aura, violently spitting out four mouthfuls of blood, with no strength remaining to fight.

Gu Yuan sneered and unleashed soul spears toward the seas of consciousness of the two men.

They had no strength to resist at all. Like the Grand Elder, both became idiots.

For the remaining man, Lin Yang immediately exerted his strength. Joining forces with Gu Yuan, they beat him until he could no longer even lift a hand in three moves.

Gu Yuan similarly sent out a soul spear, directly turning him into an idiot.

"Lin Yang, it's finally settled. This was a good haul—we directly took down the Soul Clan's strongest group of four. Together with that Hun Yan, the Soul Clan has suffered a huge loss this time. Haha." Gu Yuan slowly let out a breath and laughed.

Lin Yang smiled faintly as well. "Senior Gu Yuan, how should these four be handled?" What he cared about was how many Gu Yuan would let him have as puppets.

Gu Yuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Lin Yang, I put in a lot of effort this time, but I won't let you suffer a loss either. You can have the mid-eight-star one. I'll take these three, who are the most severely injured. Even just healing them might be more than you can manage. What do you think?"

Lin Yang considered it for a moment and nodded. "All right, Senior Gu Yuan. We'll do as you say. But could you give me a medicinal ingredient that restores the soul? I have a use for it."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly. "Fine. I'll give you a ninth-grade medicinal ingredient. It should be enough for you."

"Mm, thank you."

Gu Yuan lightly waved his hand, took out a medicinal ingredient from his storage ring, and tossed it to Lin Yang. Lin Yang hurriedly caught it.

"All right. The Soul Clan has been greatly weakened this time, so they probably won't send anyone out again for the moment. I'll return to the Ancient Clan first. Once you finish refining the puppets, I'll come find you again. Then, I'll join forces with the Flame Clan and Thunder Clan to attack the Soul Clan," Gu Yuan said.

"Mm, all right."

"Fine, I'm leaving. Farewell."

After speaking, Gu Yuan swept his sleeve, gathered up the Soul Clan's three early eight-star experts, and returned to the Ancient Clan.

Lin Yang did not linger either. He gathered up the Grand Elder and returned to the Xiao Family.

Xiao Family, Xiao Yan's courtyard.

Yao Chen was refining puppets inside the room. Xiao Yan and the Little Fairy Doctor watched carefully from the side, not daring to disturb him.

At that moment, Lin Yang descended outside the courtyard. Bringing the Grand Elder with him, he slowly walked inside.

Sensing Lin Yang's aura, Xiao Yan hurriedly pushed open the door. "Uncle, why are you back so quickly? And who is this?"

Lin Yang did not explain. He directly said, "This is an eight-star Dou Saint from the Soul Clan. Xiao Yan, once Yao Chen finishes refining the puppet, refine this eight-star Dou Saint as well."

Xiao Yan froze on the spot. "What? An eight-star Dou Saint!"

Lin Yang chuckled and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. "Xiao Yan, stop standing there in a daze. I'm leaving this eight-star Dou Saint to you. Just don't lose him."

"O-okay, Uncle."

Lin Yang did not stay any longer and flew toward the Xiao Family's back mountain.

Back mountain.

Lin Yang sat cross-legged.

He took out the Nine Nether Wind Flame rewarded for completing the system mission and began devouring and refining it.

The Soul Clan's four elders had all been turned into idiots, which was equivalent to being in a state of suspended death. Just like last time, the system judged the mission completed.

Half a day later, he had completely devoured the Heavenly Flame's energy, and Lin Yang's strength improved slightly.

"Four Heavenly Flames now. If I use the Saint Sun Heavenly Flame Transformation, I can probably directly rise to the peak of the eight-star level," Lin Yang murmured.

"When we attack the Soul Clan later, if I join forces with the puppets, even Void Swallowing Flame won't be able to do anything to me in a short time. But if I stockpile several dozen jade bottles of Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus and throw them out together, even Void Swallowing Flame probably won't be able to take it."

Thinking of this, Lin Yang was not in a hurry to complete Zi Yan's mission for now.

He would first stockpile several dozen jade bottles of Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.

Thus, he began making them.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yang made a total of thirty jade bottles of Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus.

The Dou Qi in his body had been completely exhausted.

After recovering some of his energy, Lin Yang felt that it was about enough. Thirty was enough for the time being.

He could make another batch in a few days. For now, he would first complete the system mission.

He then put away the jade bottles and headed for Canaan Academy, preparing to take down Zi Yan.

Not only could Zi Yan's mission earn him a system reward, but Lin Yang also knew that Zhu Kun was beneath Canaan Academy. When the time came, he could use Zi Yan to find Zhu Kun and ask for a drop of his blood essence, further increasing his strength.
