Special War God

Chapter 225: Dark Gu Breaks the Formation

Wu Youliang smiled calmly, "Of course I won't use the lives of my Wu people to pay for it! Don't we still have the troops of the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion? Fourth brother, go and punish them first, and then promise that if the actions are in line with my wishes, you will promise to let Gongsun Kehua go. In this way, won't the people of the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion be at your disposal?"

It was indeed a ruthless plan, and the four brothers burst into cold laughter.

After the discussion was finalized, Wu Youqun, together with two other wizards, entered the settlement of Tianbing Pavilion.

When the disciples who stayed behind in Tianbing Pavilion saw them, they all glared at them, wishing they could fight them to the death.

After going through hardships and more than two months, the team arrived here and found the "Chaos Gourd Vine", but they didn't know that they were doing wedding clothes for others. Gongsun Kehua was even planted with a dark Gu by the Wu Clan, who manipulated them to work hard every day to collect fairy herbs and various rare cultivation materials for the Wu Clan.

If the collected quantity fails to satisfy the witch clan, they will manipulate the Hades Gu to gnaw at Gongsun Kehua's internal organs, causing him to suffer endless pain.

In a blink of an eye, the dignified Huanxu monk Gongsun Kehua had been tortured to the point of being emaciated.

However, the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion were helpless and could only hope that the trial would end soon and that the Wu Clan would fulfill their promise and remove the Ming Gu from Gongsun Kehua's body after the trial.

Wu Youqun appeared arrogantly, glanced at the dishevelled and pale Gongsun Kehua, and said, "I have good news. Big Brother has agreed that as long as you disciples of the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion complete a task with me, I will remove the dark poison from Gongsun Kehua and let you go!"

Gongsun Kehua remained silent, with no light in his eyes.

After that betrayal, the "Chaos Gourd Vine" was lost, and he suffered inhuman torture for a long time, and his trust in the Wu Clan was gone. The belief that supported his survival was that if he was free one day, he would take revenge on the Wu Clan a thousand times.

Although he knew that his hope was slim and that even after the Primal Star Trial was over, the Witch Clan would not let him leave alive, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Because death means completely losing hope of fighting back, only by living can everything be possible.

For many things, we persist not because we see hope, but we can see hope only because of persistence.

Wu Youqun continued, "I'll give you half an hour to call everyone back and follow me...

This mission is of great importance. Your performance will determine whether our venerable Gongsun Kehua can be freed from confinement!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, and the two wizard assistants led the imprisoned Gongsun Kehua away like a young bird, and disappeared into the mist of the wizard clan's territory.

The guardian disciples of Tianbing Pavilion began to recall their companions who were scattered in various secret realms in search of fairy herbs and rare minerals.

The fate of Gongsun Kehua is in the hands of the Wu clan. If they ignore the safety of their elders, it would be tantamount to betraying the clan's teachings. They can only follow Wu Youqun's orders.

A moment later, Wu Youqun returned to the place where the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion gathered. Looking at the more than one hundred disciples gathered, he snorted coldly: "Very good, you are quite obedient. Now everyone follow me!"

Deep down in the minds of the Witch Clan, they had never considered the Tianbing Pavilion a threat. How could they have expected that Xia Zhongnan's target was directly at them?

Even if Wu Youliang had ten times more courage, he would probably mistakenly think that the enemy's real target was the "Chaos Gourd Vine".

On Xia Zhongnan's side, after eliminating the first wave of witches who were trapped in the formation, the other side did not make any further moves.

Guessing that they were waiting for reinforcements, Xia Zhongnan, Ji Tinglin and Pang Guanting also waited patiently.

They were confident in their own formation and planned to capture more witches to increase their negotiating power.

Unexpectedly, "reinforcements" arrived, and Xia Zhongnan and the other two widened their eyes in surprise. In front of them was the entire team of disciples of Tianbing Pavilion.

Except for a few who went far away and failed to return in time, the vast majority of disciples came with Wu Youqun.

After the remaining wizard briefly described the situation, Wu Youqun stood in front of the formation and said sternly: "Listen, everyone inside. You have angered my Wu clan. Quickly release my people and apologize to us! The anger of the Wu clan is not something you can resist!"

Xia Zhongnan retorted: "Stop talking nonsense. I have 29 captives from your Wu clan in my hands. You'd better think clearly about the price you want to pay to redeem your people!"

This is a negotiation, so he naturally would not easily reveal his true intentions, but would bargain in front of the Witch Clan.

However, Wu Youqun unexpectedly became more certain of his previous speculation from his answer and determined that his target was the "Chaos Gourd Vine".

They actually dared to target the Witch Clan for plunder!

Wu Youqun was filled with rage and made a series of mysterious gestures towards the void. The wizards waiting around him quickly approached the edge of the formation and formed a strange defensive formation.

Then, each of these witches opened the miniature bag on their body and chanted spells in a low voice.

I saw those small bags moving without wind. Upon closer inspection, I found that each bag was filled with countless translucent strange insects.

These insects have various shapes, some look like long-winged centipedes, poisonous scorpions, spiders, and some have strange shapes and are hideous and terrifying.

As the insects emerged, an indescribable smell filled the air, accompanied by a creepy atmosphere.

The disciples of the Heavenly Soldiers Pavilion couldn't help but tremble when they saw this scene...

They would rather face the most violent and ferocious monsters than these tiny evil insects.

Immediately afterwards, teams of evil insects flapped their wings and flew out from the wizard's Qiankun bag, rushing towards the magic circle, while others quickly crawled out of the bag and moved towards the magic circle area from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of insect armies swarmed into the magic circle with great momentum.

Ji Tinglin and Pang Guanting turned pale when they saw this, and retreated in horror. The witch clan's methods were strange and unpredictable, and only by experiencing it in person could one know how terrifying it was.

Xia Zhongnan's expression was as deep as a cold pond.

This was also the first time for him to face such an opponent. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only stare at the insects, hoping that the magic circle could withstand their attack.

Fortunately, after the insects entered the magic circle, they began to lose their way and became confused.

Those trapped in the time and space magic circle were unable to fly or crawl out, while those trapped in the confusion and illusion magic circle ran around in panic. Many insects rushed out of the magic circle in confusion and returned to the starting point.

The formation formed by insects finally collapsed.

However, the number of insects was too large. Even though they were unable to form a formation, a large number of insects still chose the correct path and continued to invade the territory of the magic circle.

Those insects that took the wrong path and rushed out of the magic circle turned around and returned to the magic circle under the guidance of the wizard.

They continued to spread to the border of the magic circle like a virus. No matter Xia Zhongnan, Pang Guanting, or Ji Tinglin dared to set foot in any place they occupied.

Ji Tinglin came to Xia Zhongnan and asked, "Xiao Fei, what should we do?"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "I'm still thinking! Have you heard of anything that these bugs are afraid of?"

Before he could finish his words, a bug flew close to them.

Ji Tinglin casually swung his knife and cut the insect in half.

The insect fell to the ground and was still struggling. After a moment, the big insect split into two smaller ones and flew into the air again.

Before they could find a solution, the Witch Clan made a new move.

Ten wizards walked out of the team, circling around the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion and conveying information with gestures.

It was seen before that every wizard had a large number of poisonous insects on his body. When the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion saw them approaching, their legs went weak and some of them turned pale and were extremely frightened.

But they dared not resist and could only let the wizard do what he wanted.

After the wizard left, Wu Youqun spoke: "Disciples of the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the wizard has cast a 'talisman spell' on you just now, and the poisonous insects will not attack you anymore. Now, you rush into the formation at full speed and help the insects break it."

The disciples of Tianbing Pavilion were hesitant, and Wu Youqun suddenly waved his hand. A poisonous insect flew out from his sleeve and instantly hovered above the head of a disciple. It seemed that it wanted to land, but it had many concerns and kept squeaking with its mouth open.

The disciple looked up at the ugly poisonous insect above his head, motionless, with large beads of sweat rolling down like raindrops...

Wu Youqun whispered: "Now you should be convinced that the cursed worms will not touch your souls. If you don't obey, I will remove your amulets and let you experience the horror of the worms gnawing at your souls!"

Under the coercion of Wu Youqun, the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion stepped into the magic circle one after another, and their footprints overlapped with the area of ​​scattered phantom insects.

Xia Zhongnan and the other two watched nervously. If they needed rescue at this time, it would be extremely difficult. Fortunately, the phantom insects did not attack, and they were all safe and sound. The three of them felt relieved.

Xia Zhongnan's mind moved, and he manipulated the Ice Flame Spear to release the power of the fire element, attacking the phantom insects. The blazing energy swept across a corner of the formation, and many phantom insects were burned with shrill screams, turning into charred ashes.

However, some of the phantom insects actually survived the flames. They were more agitated and energetic than before.

Xia Zhongnan changed his strategy, and the icy energy swept out again. This time, the remaining phantom insects suddenly wilted, turned into ice crystals and fell, motionless. Xia Zhongnan tapped the ice crystals with the Ice Flame Gun, and the ice crystals and the phantom insects inside them shattered together.

It seems that what the fire cannot destroy is even more resistant to the cold, and cannot resist its power. Seeing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

These phantom insects are not afraid of physical damage, but are particularly sensitive to the power of water and fire. Even so, the strength of these phantom insects should not be underestimated. How many people in the world can control the power of water and fire?

Unfortunately, they encountered Xia Zhongnan, who was holding the Ice Flame Spear. With experience, Xia Zhongnan followed this method step by step and eliminated the phantom insects that broke into the formation one by one.

Pang Guanting was beside him, rescuing the Tianbing Pavilion disciples who were trapped in the formation one by one. The disciples were trapped in the formation, and they were all surprised to see their "big brother" Pang Guanting. After Pang Guanting rescued a group of them, Ji Tinglin instructed them how to act in the formation, while he and Xia Zhongnan continued to kill insects and save people.

Wu Youqun ordered the wizards to scatter a large number of phantom insects into the formation, and then put the disciples of Tianbing Pavilion into it. He waited for the result outside the formation.

There was silence inside the formation, and after a while, the wizards outside the formation showed surprise on their faces. They felt that the connection with the groups of phantom insects was suddenly broken.
