264: Chapter 264 The Real Opponent! A Late-Stage Eighth-Tier Magical Beast

"Are you guys playing fair or what!?"

"Outnumbering me, bullying the weak with strength—you're doing it all."

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the end!"

Seeing Wind Venerable, Venerable Skyfire, the Eight-Winged Black Heaven Python, and Yun Yun attack him simultaneously without hesitation, Hui Wen's gaze turned frantic.

Not long ago, even at his Peak, he was no match for Wind Idle, who was at the Peak of the Four-Star Dou Zun Realm. He only escaped by using the Eight-Winged Black Heaven Python as a meat shield, yet he was still heavily injured.

Now, with his injuries only eighty percent healed, he had to face Wind Idle, who had broken through to become a Five-Star Dou Zun, along with three other Dou Zun.

With the gap widening, they weren't leaving him any way out; they were clearly intent on driving him to his death.

"Outnumbering you? Bullying the weak?" Gu Han crossed his arms and spoke indifferently, "Don't look down on people."

Hui Wen's eyes narrowed. Did they only intend for one person to fight him one-on-one?

He was no match for Wind Venerable or Venerable Skyfire, but the Eight-Winged Black Heaven Python and that female Dou Zun might not be his match.

He didn't need to win; he just needed a chance to escape or call for backup.

But in the next moment, he heard Gu Han continue, "To prevent you from resisting, we've also prepared a Formation for you."

Cheats were meant to be used. Gu Han had studied all the Formations and combined-attack secret techniques he had collected, then used the deduction ability of the black tortoise armor to create several new Formations and secret techniques.

Among them was the Five Elements Separation and Union Array. When cast by five Cultivators together, it could temporarily concentrate all their strength into one person and form a Five Elements spatial barrier to seal off a region of heaven and earth.

In short, it was an enhanced version of 'closing the door to beat the dog.'

"Rise!"

The Eight-Winged Black Heaven Python transformed into human form, and the five of them formed hand seals simultaneously.

Venerable Skyfire led with Fire, Black Heaven led with Water, Yun Yun led with Metal, Wind Venerable led with Earth, and Gu Han led with Wood.

Although the Five Elements construction wasn't perfect, it was successfully executed. Five-colored pillars of light formed instantly, shooting into the clouds and piercing into the ground.

Within a ten-mile radius, space manifested as crystalline walls, shimmering with a five-colored luster and transforming into a solid barrier.

Hui Wen: "..."

Four Dou Zun ganging up on him wasn't enough,

They actually cooperated to use a Formation too.

This was bullying; this was just too much bullying.

"I curse you all to die a horrible death!"

A moment later, Hui Wen was suppressed by a single palm from Gu Han, whose strength had temporarily soared to the Peak of the Six-Star Dou Zun Realm. His entire body was encased in ice that combined Yin and Yang; he could not feel any Dou Qi, and his Soul was imprisoned, making even self-detonation impossible.

"If curses worked, there wouldn't be so many experts in this world."

With a gentle wave of his hand, Gu Han pulled Hui Wen into the Yin-Yang Great Void Map.

Hui Wen's Three-Star Dou Zun body and his half-step Spirit Realm Soul were both reusable resources.

After stowing Hui Wen away, Gu Han did not have the group dispel the Formation. Instead, he raised his hand and manipulated the energy of heaven and earth to form a thousand-foot-tall giant ice palm, flicking his finger to infuse it with the Yin Yang Twin Flames.

"Go!"

Soul Power erupted from the center of Gu Han's brow.

With the support of the Five Elements Separation and Union Array, his Soul Realm had also temporarily reached the Peak of the Early Stage Heaven Realm.

With this experience, it wouldn't be long before he could formally attempt to break through to the Heaven Realm. In terms of Soul combat power alone, he could rival a mid-level Dou Zun Expert, making it a major trump card.

"Boom!"

The thousand-foot giant ice hand descended. A terrifying pressure spread out, causing the Five Elements spatial barrier to tremble. Space within the barrier collapsed on a large scale, and every trace of aura along the path was erased.

Even the frigid astral winds, which ordinary Dou Zun Experts wouldn't dare touch, were frozen by the extreme cold energy, turning into ice meteors that plummeted downward.

Roar!

As the giant ice hand unleashed a barrage of ice and rock, shattering the void continuously, a roar echoed from deep below.

"Humans, you seek death!"

In the next instant, a streak of blood-colored frigid aura suddenly shot into the sky, and three golden eyes, each larger than a human body, appeared.

As the giant ice hand continued to fall, the world further down the abyss suddenly became clear. A giant python appeared, with golden wings on its back, red-purple shimmering scales covering its body, a length of at least several hundred feet, and three eyes.

The Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python, the contracted Serpentine magical beast of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's Grand Elder Hui Qian, possessed Rank 8 Late Stage strength.

Back then, when Hui Qian had barely managed to snatch an Opportunity from Yao Chen at the cost of being heavily injured, the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python had played a crucial role.

The third eye at the center of the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python's brow possessed the Bloodline talent: Three-Pupil Silent Abyss, which could swallow an enemy's Soul into an illusory world within the eye to be crushed.

At that time, the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python had ambushed Yao Chen and used its Bloodline pupil technique, which was what had delayed his actions.

Even so, both the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python and Hui Qian were injured.

Hui Qian had even perished because of the hidden hand Yao Chen had left behind.

"Golden Radiance Cinder Cold Light!"

A layer of golden light shimmered on the massive golden wings, which spanned over a hundred feet, behind the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python.

These golden lights gathered together, transforming into a dense beam of light that shot toward the sky.

"Boom!"

The beam of light easily annihilated the falling ice rocks and collided with the massive giant ice palm.

The two forces of extreme cold clashed, and the resulting shockwave instantly annihilated everything in the vicinity. The Five Elements barrier shook under the impact; space shattered and repaired itself repeatedly, frozen into a wall of ice.

The entire pitch-black abyss showed signs of turning into a glacier. The frigid energy raged terrifyingly; an ordinary Dou Zong would be frozen instantly here, without even the ability to resist.

As the golden light dissipated, the massive giant ice hand also wore away and vanished; the two were actually evenly matched.

"Even though this seat is not at its Peak, I am not someone you can offend."

"Leave immediately, otherwise, even if this seat has to pay a price today, I will make you all stay."

The Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python's violent voice resounded everywhere, the sound waves shattering space and causing countless layers of ice to collapse.

It was the roar of a python king, a terrifying aura suppressed with extreme cold energy. The ear-piercing sound caused the hearts of Wind Idle and the other four to sink.

"Heh, you are far more than just 'not at your Peak.'"

Gu Han looked at the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python as if he were looking at a treasure about to be obtained. He raised his hand and pointed a finger.

"If you can block one palm, then what about another?"

"Yin-Yang Five Elements Transformation Cold Seal!"

Rumble!

The terrifying energy of heaven and earth went into an uproar.

Heaven Realm Soul Power raged, and the scattered frigid aura condensed, churning and roaring as it transformed into a thousand-foot five-fingered palm. The hard ice emitted a terrifying cold air capable of freezing everything. The entire world seemed frozen; there was the sound of sword hums, whistling winds, and roaring flames.

"What!?"

The vertical pupils in the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python's three eyes shrank violently. The massive golden wings on its back immediately began to vibrate, and Dou Qi surged out from its body.

But in the next moment, the bone-white flames in that cave suddenly stirred, igniting a certain mark, causing the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python to suddenly spit out a pile of blood clots frozen by cold air.

"Damn you, Yao Chen!" Flames burned in the Golden-Winged Three-Pupil Python's three eyes.

Seeing this, Wind Idle couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Little Fellow Gu, what's going on?"
