122: Zhiyang Tyrant Body: Almost Done!
Deep in the mountains, in a red-glowing, eerie tomb.
Over twenty Professionals, dressed in strange attire and with gloomy expressions, stood in two rows.
Thump, thump, thump!
Following a series of footsteps.
A masked man emerged from the shadows.
The gusts of fishy wind stirred by his steps were mixed with faint wails, as if they were sounds from Hell.
At this moment, all the Professionals lowered their heads.
“Greetings, Gu King.”
The masked man slowly ascended the brick throne in the tomb, turned, sat down, and coldly surveyed his subordinates.
The Professionals averted their gaze, appearing quite fearful.
After a moment of silence, the Gu King spoke in his dry, reedy voice: “I have an announcement: Hu Guangming is dead.”
At these words, all the Professionals were stunned.
Hu Guangming was one of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou, a Rank 65 Professional, and no small character in Lizhou.
How could he just be gone?
“Gu King, what happened?”
A fair-skinned, voluptuous woman stepped forward and asked.
This was Yi Zheng Ya, also one of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou.
She excelled at refining Gu using flesh and blood.
Though over 60, she possessed the face of a young woman.
Besides her Gu techniques, her fiery figure and beauty were also Sharp Weapons for killing.
Once ensnared by her Bewitching Gu, one would willingly be transformed into a Gu Puppet, to be used by her.
As a top ten on the bounty list, Yi Zheng Ya was well aware of Hu Guangming's strength.
Even if he encountered an unbeatable foe, he would use his Zhen Gu techniques to call for help from all directions; it was impossible for him to die silently without making any sound.
Unless Hu Guangming was instantly killed.
But in Lizhou, besides the Gu King, who possessed such strength?
The Gu King, however, knew some inside information about Hu Guangming's death.
He waved his hand slightly, summoning a red-glowing flying Gu Insect.
The Gu King said, “This is the Sound-Recording Gu I planted on Hu Guangming. Listen to its contents.”
Subsequently, the flying Gu Insect flapped its wings, emitting intermittent sounds.
“Gu... Insects... all dead...?”
“Gu... Mother Gu Insect... also dead?”
“This person... can restrain... Zhen Gu...”
“You... are...?”
Upon hearing this sound, the Professionals in the tomb all showed expressions of horror.
They were all Gu Refiners and well aware of the power of Gu Insects.
Compared to ordinary Gu Insects, Gu Insects not only had quantity but also quality.
To kill them all in one battle was simply unrealistic.
But listening to Hu Guangming's “last words”... his Gu Insects were not only completely wiped out,
Even the Mother Gu Insect hidden in his body died.
This was even more contrary to common sense.
The Mother Gu Insect is the lifeblood of a Gu Master, usually hidden within the Gu Master's body and not released for battle.
Clearly.
The last words spoken by Hu Guangming's daughter were the truth.
Their family had encountered a Professional specialized in restraining Gu Insects.
Not only could he instantly kill thousands of Gu Insects, but he could also follow the trail and eliminate the Mother Gu Insect within the Gu Master's body.
The Gu King scanned the crowd, looking at a thin, effeminate-looking young man.
At this moment, a sickly smile hung on the young man's face, as if he had something to say.
“Wenbin, what is your opinion?”
The Gu King asked the young man.
The young man was Han Wenbin, also one of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou.
Yi Zheng Ya specialized in using Gu techniques to maintain her youth.
Han Wenbin's specialty was borrowing a corpse to revive a Soul.
Han Wenbin looked around at the Professionals and said, “Everyone should have already received the news that the Mountain Patrol Gu Formation of the Eighteen Villages has been broken. Combining this with Hu Guangming's death, it's not difficult to draw a conclusion...”
At this point, he paused and said to the Gu King, “An outsider has come to Lizhou. He bears ill will towards both Witch Gu and Zhen Gu. He is a Dragon stirring up the river... Lizhou is about to fall into chaos.”
“I think so too.” The Gu King nodded.
At this moment, Yi Zheng Ya said, “According to the latest intelligence, the Huang family brought an outsider, a Rank 45 legendary Professional. Is it possible that he did it?”
“Rank 45...”
“A Rank 45 killing a Rank 65 Hu Guangming, plus a pair of Rank 50 children... even for a legendary Professional, that's a bit outrageous, isn't it?”
The Gu King murmured, looking at Han Wenbin and asking, “What do you think?”
“I think it's entirely possible.”
Han Wenbin explained, “Professions have counter-properties. When encountering a naturally countered Profession, Rank is no longer the standard for judging strength. Moreover, it's not ruled out that the other party has items specifically designed to counter Gu Insects.”
Yi Zheng Ya doubted, “That's not right. If the person who broke the Mountain Patrol Gu Formation was also him, then he should be an enemy of the Eighteen Villages. How could he be living in the village?”
Hearing this, Han Wenbin frowned and said, “I also have some doubts about this, so we need to go to the camp to investigate.”
The Gu King nodded, looking at Yi Zheng Ya: “You are skilled at confusing people's minds. Go personally and investigate. No matter what the other party's background is, if there's an opportunity, take him out directly.”
Yi Zheng Ya cupped her hands and said, “Yes, Gu King.”
Just as Yi Zheng Ya was about to turn and leave, Han Wenbin called out to her.
“They say this outsider is very handsome. If possible, leave the corpse for me. I just happen to need a new skin.”
“Alright, but only after I'm done playing with him.”
Yi Zheng Ya gave an evil smile, her body flickered and instantly shrank, transforming into a finger-long red centipede, crawling out of the tomb... Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the night was dim.
The heavily guarded mountain village implemented a curfew system.
No one was allowed to walk outside except for the guards.
At this time, in the mountain village, every household had extinguished its lights and retired early.
Outside, there was only the faint chirping of insects, an eerily quiet atmosphere.
However, golden rays of light emanated from one stilt house, appearing exceptionally dazzling in the mountain village.
“It's almost done.”
Qin Yang's lips curved into a smile.
He could already faintly sense... that the Breakthrough of the Supreme Yang Overlord Body had reached its final critical moment.
At this moment, Qin Yang was sitting cross-legged on a bamboo bed, his entire being bathed in the Supreme Yang Divine Light emitted by the Lamp-holding Golden Crow.
His skin glowed with a faint golden light, his brows revealed an ethereal temperament, and his long hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, illuminated into strands of golden silk.
And at this moment, a blood-red centipede crawled onto the windowsill.
The centipede, like a venomous snake, raised the front half of its body.
At the position of its head, there was clearly a woman's face.
Anyone familiar with Lizhou's bounty list would recognize her at a glance.
This person was Yi Zheng Ya, one of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou.
“So this is the outsider.”
“He's truly handsome...”
The woman's face on the centipede's carapace showed an evil smile.
The man before her far exceeded Yi Zheng Ya's comprehension.
She had lived for 60 years and had never seen such a handsome person.
Enveloped in that golden light, the man's image was no longer merely a Physical Body; he seemed to be an Incarnation of light, without a speck of dust, like an immortal god.
It was this untainted sacredness that ignited Yi Zheng Ya's desire for desecration.
She gazed greedily at the man before her, wishing she could immediately attack and use all her lifelong knowledge to torture him to death.
Finally, she would give him to Han Wenbin, to play with him again in another way.
Unfortunately, that golden light seemed to possess extremely strong fire attributes.
Yi Zheng Ya, in her centipede form, truly dared not make a move at this time.
“He should be meditating. It's best to act when his meditation is nearing its end.”
Yi Zheng Ya thought to herself, quietly lurking on the windowsill.
But as time passed.
The golden radiance in the room not only did not diminish but became even more dazzling.
Yi Zheng Ya, bathed in it, already felt intense discomfort.
It was as if... she was being roasted over a fire.
“Something's wrong, this light is wrong!”
Yi Zheng Ya was horrified.
She already felt danger.
If this golden light became any stronger, her centipede body would be burned to charcoal!
Thinking this, she immediately twisted her insect body, wanting to crawl down from the windowsill.
But it was too late.
The brilliant golden light suddenly burst forth a hundredfold.
Between heaven and earth, everything turned into a golden expanse.
At this moment, Yi Zheng Ya felt as if even her Soul was burning.
Only then did she realize... that the golden Divine Light was not some fire attribute.
Rather, it was the Supreme Yang attribute that countered all Filthy and evil!
Ah ah ah!
There was no time to change form.
Yi Zheng Ya's centipede body twisted frantically, emitting bursts of white smoke under the baptism of the golden light, making a sizzling sound like deep-fried barbecue... Retired Emperors: I've been a bit dizzy these past two days, so I'll stabilize with two chapters first. After I recover, I'll continue to aim for three chapters. I hope everyone will keep reading and give some 'power for love'!
