Chapter Thirty-Two: The Bane of Fate

  Since the fight started, Gu Yinghua held her breath tightly, afraid of making any noise that would disturb Liu Suoyun's spellcasting.

  She couldn't help but admire that Liu Suizhen was indeed a master of the art, daring to launch a fierce attack on Xuan Shuijun at this critical moment. However, when Liu Suizhen miraculously struck Xuan Shuijun, Gu Yinghua almost let out a loud cry!

  Her eyes couldn't be closed, and after a while, she blinked hard. This is too incredible! This is unthinkable! This is unbelievable!

  This strike of Thunder Technique can be said to have been performed flawlessly, except for the slightly longer casting time, not even a hint of weakness was revealed. Gu Yinghua even suspected that Liu Suoyun would never again be able to perform such a perfect Thunder Technique, it was so hidden, so clever, and so precise, almost as if Xuan Shuijun, who had just opened his Scavenger's Cloak, directly collided with the thunder strike set up by Liu Suoyun!

  The problem is that this thunder method is too familiar, Gu Yinghua almost shouted out the name of this thunder method!

  Silent Thunder of the Void!

  This is an empty sound of thunder!!!

  Gu Yinghua could recognize it even with her eyes closed, this was the Kong Yin Ming Lei, the greatest reliance she had tried every means to bring Liu Su Yun onto the Supreme Tao not long ago. But why did Liu Su Yun cast the Kong Yin Ming Lei? Did he just hear the name of this Kong Yin Ming Lei and then cast it out?

  And according to Gu Yinghua's insight, this strike of Empty Sound Myriad Thunder perfectly realized every detail that he had discussed with Liu Suizhen from the beginning. It used the almost soundless and traceless Empty Sound Myriad Thunder as a primer, wrapping the more powerful Morning Sun Divine Thunder inside it. Although this increased the difficulty of casting the spell, Liu Suizhen expended tremendous effort to finally unleash this double-layered thunder technique that was hidden in plain sight.

  However, this strike was too timely and accurate, instantly blasting the snake demon Xuan Shui into a bloody pulp. Fresh blood then gushed out of his abdomen like a fountain, and what happened next left Gu Yinghua even more bewildered.

  That blood spring, like a tidal wave, was flying directly towards the place where Liu Suizhen and Gu Yinghua were hiding. As it flew closer, Gu Yinghua found that the volume of the blood tide was getting smaller and smaller. At first, it was like a tidal wave, but soon it became a vast river, then a stream, and finally a spring. When it reached Liu Suizhen's side, this snake blood, which had at least several dozen kilograms in weight, had transformed into a single drop of essence blood the size of a needle tip.

  Liu Su Yun smiled, using his finger to touch the drop of essence blood. The majestic essence blood instantly seeped into Liu Su Yun's index finger, without leaving a single stain behind, only leaving behind Liu Su Yun's confident smile.

  This is too cool!

  Gu Yinghua hadn't even had time to sigh in relief when Liu Suizhen already had her back turned and was walking away, muttering under his breath: "You guessed right, that's indeed the Void Sound Dark Thunder. Thanks for the tip, Big Sister! If it weren't for your reminder, I really wouldn't have thought of combining the Void Sound Dark Thunder with the Morning Sun Divine Thunder to create this technique!"

  It wasn't that my Supreme Dao was unattractive, but rather that the small favors I had given out were not enough to entice others. Even so, Gu Yinghua suddenly felt comfortable and relaxed as she leaned against Liu Suizhen's back, asking casually: "Why don't we stay a bit longer? Perhaps we can still benefit from it."

  She was beautifully thinking of the scene where Liu Suizhen, holding the Tianlei Starfall Sword, killed his way out when the Pang family and Xuan Shuijun were fighting to the death. However, Liu Suizhen broke her fantasy: "Don't underestimate that Xuan Shuijun, my previous strike with the Chaoyang Divine Thunder was indeed used extremely well, it's true! It was used extremely well, this is the most satisfying strike of Chaoyang Divine Thunder in my life, but after all, its power was discounted, only having 40% of its usual power, at most it just heavily injured Xuan Shuijun!"

  However, now Liu Suiyun was lightly and leisurely carrying Gu Yinghua, borrowing the momentum of the woods to rush through the mountains, while laughing and saying: "But it also stirred up the ferocity of this demon snake, there's nothing good to watch in the next act!"

  "It's not that there's nothing good to see", but rather that the fierce battle between the two sides will likely be earth-shattering, and even if Liu Suizhen and Gu Yinghua hide on one side, they can't avoid being affected by the aftermath.

  "Hmm, I've thought of it, now Gen Sui can be said to be a beast in a desperate struggle?"

  Liu Su Yun had personally experienced the strength of Xuan Shui Jun's vitality, and how terrifying it was when he fought for his life. But as long as Xuan Shui Jun's opponent wasn't himself, and even gained great benefits from it, Liu Su Yun's mood became infinitely delightful.

  The mountain wind blew across his face, and the harm brought by the fall of the thousand trees disappeared instantly: "I was wrong, there should be a wonderful play being performed there, and the reinforcements of the Pang family have arrived again!"

  Their backs were followed by earth-shaking explosions, killings, and screams, and even waves of air came from behind. It can be imagined that the intensity of this killing had reached what kind of extreme limit, but it was precisely because of such a fight that Gu Yinghua's mood became as happy as Liu Suizhen: "Where are we going next?"

  "Let's go to Kill Tiger Ridge!"

  Liu Su Yun's voice softened: "I guess that can be considered one of my homes too!"

  Terrible, it's really too much!

  Pang Tian's face turned gloomy, the mountains and fields in front of him had become a dark color drenched in blood, everywhere was fragmented flesh, limbs, weapons, flags, magical instruments, and talismans. He was also a strong man who had seen countless battlefields, but at this moment, he was slightly uncomfortable due to the ubiquitous gore.

  What pained him even more was the heavy price paid for this battle, which can be said to be the most serious loss of the Pang family in a single battle in recent years. Since the Gu's rebellion, the Pang family has suffered another fatal blow.

  This time, the casualties were almost all the elite disciples of the Pang family. Not to mention the consumption of elixirs, artifacts and talismans during the battle, but the loss of 170 disciples in one go was enough to shake the foundation of his clan's leadership, let alone the fact that 80 of them had died.

  The seriously injured disciples, although they didn't spend any money, poured down countless spiritual medicines, yet from time to time someone would be seriously injured and unable to recover. What made him spit blood was that the object of this fight turned out to be a fallen star mountain demon snake, which had no relation to their previous target. Even the surviving disciples of the Pang family didn't know why they had clashed with this demon snake.

  Good heavens, what's going on here?

  Pang Tian Shan felt that this time and again, the loss of troops had already exceeded his limit, he even had a murderous intention.

  "Kill the snake and get the treasure!"

  Now, the slogan was finally shouted out again by a disciple of the Pang family. Xuan Shui had been bombarded repeatedly with countless sharp arrows, spiritual symbols, magical instruments, powerful crossbows, swords, spears, and talismans, and his entire body had not a single intact piece of flesh left, but its ferocity still made the disciples of the Pang family dare not approach him to this day.

  They just surrounded the already fallen Hyun-soo in a pool of blood, carefully gripping their weapons until one brave disciple finally shouted: "Kill the snake and take the treasure!"

  Although they shouted out this slogan, even Pang Tian Shan shook his head. This demon snake had been beaten to a pulp, and there was nothing to gain from it. Not even enough to cover the cost of the spirit medicine spent this time.

  It's really a big loss, thinking of the repeated heavy price paid for pursuing and killing Gu Yinghua, Pang Tian felt that his breath was almost exhausted, but he couldn't give up on pursuing and killing Gu Yinghua, the task entrusted by that superior, he had to do it.

  And that Pang family disciple who shouted the slogan "Kill the snake and take the treasure" has now stepped over the blood-soaked flesh and limbs, cautiously approaching the remains of Xuan Shuijun, truly daring to be heaven-defying!

  He slowly approached the remains of Xuan Shui, with the scene of blood flowing like a river when Xuan Shui was enraged still flashing in his mind, and he couldn't help but shout again: "Kill the snake to get the treasure!"

  As they spoke, his long spear had already stabbed at Xuan Shui Jun's snake body from a distance, but he heard a thunderous voice: "Kill your mother!"

  Pang Tian Shan was still in a state of melancholy when he saw Ma Qian Jun suddenly appear beside Xuan Shui Jun, let out a loud roar and then struck with lightning speed.

  That audacious and arrogant Pang family disciple hadn't even clearly seen who his opponent was, when he was struck by Ma Qianjun's powerful fist to the chest, directly sending him flying five or six zhang away. His entire body was torn apart in mid-air, his torso shattered into who-knows-how-many pieces amidst a mist of blood.

  Before the proud sons of the Pang family could react, they saw Ma Qianjun already kneeling on one knee in front of Xuan Shuijun, his killing aura was overwhelming, but his hands were gently stroking the battered snake head of Xuan Shuijun, and he loudly roared: "Xiao Shui...Shui Xiao, how did you end up like this..."

  His eyes were half affectionate and half murderous, his hands had bulging veins as he knelt on the ground and asked towards Pang Tian Shan: "Who killed Xiao Shui, who?! Is it you?!"

  On the way to kill Gu Yinghua and Liu Suiyun, Ma Qianjun, apart from occasionally mentioning a few words as a local snake, only had one point worth mentioning, which was that he was ruthless. Pang Tianshan didn't think much of this leader of the Tianyi Gang, and even felt that the four-square Tianyuan bean was somewhat wasted on him.

  But at this moment, Pang Tian Mountain only knew what it meant to be bitten by a dog that didn't bark. With one punch from Ma Qianjun, he directly blasted a disciple of the Pong family who was in the Tiger-Fighting Realm into smithereens, and not even a complete corpse could be pieced together. This was definitely not something an ordinary Yuanlong martial artist could do.

  Pang Tian Shan even suspected that he was the real Split Mountain Warrior, and with his talent for shooting a cow over a mountain, he might not be able to match Ma Qian Jun's unparalleled ferocity. This man being able to roam freely in Yun Zhong County was certainly no coincidence.

  On the other side, Ma Qianjun had already shed a crystal tear. He wiped his eye socket with his fist stained with blood and said regretfully: "Xiaoshui, I shouldn't...I shouldn't have!"

  No one knew what Ma Qianjun shouldn't do, but he quickly roared at Pang Tian Mountain again: "Pang Tian Mountain, who killed Xiaoshui? Is it you?"
