The sudden turn of events made Tuoba Ao's expression change drastically.
With a boom, Tuoba Ao swiftly struck out to block Gui Jiu's punch. Although he changed his move in time to stop it, he still let out a muffled grunt and was driven back five steps.
Before he could steady himself, Old Sun's attack had already reached him from behind. Somewhat flustered, Tuoba Ao did not take it head-on, instead hurriedly forcing himself six meters sideways to dodge it.
By now, however, Tuoba Ao looked rather grim, and his aura had become somewhat disordered. Clearly, Gui Jiu's sudden sneak attack had injured him. Although Old Sun's attack had not hit him, forcing himself to dodge had only added injury to injury!
This turn of events was truly too unexpected. Mu Jingfei froze, standing rooted to the spot and staring at Gui Jiu with utter incomprehension.
Gui Jiu attacked Tuoba Ao? Mu Jingfei still could not understand what on earth was going on.
Fang Chongyi was likewise utterly puzzled.
"Th-this cultivation method?" Mu Jingfei's expression suddenly shifted. The cultivation method Gui Jiu had just used was clearly not the Ghost Spirit Nine Transformations Art. That aura belonged to a demonic art, and it was one he recognized.
"Ling Tianya! What a fine trick you've played!" Tuoba Ao growled, his expression somewhat ferocious after retreating more than six meters away.
Tuoba Ao had never expected to fall victim to Ling Tianya's scheme. In his haste just now, he had let Ling Tianya's punch injure him, and the injury was far from light.
After all, Ling Tianya was the Sect Master of the Thousand Demons Sect. How could his demonic art be ordinary? Caught so completely off guard, even an expert like Tuoba Ao had found it difficult to react.
