Chapter 69 Devouring the Fallen Heart Flame, Ancient Clan Formation Suppresses Gu He

Eight figures hovered in the sky above the Inner Academy. The students of the Inner Academy had long been dispersed, carrying their belongings to contact the students of the Outer Academy and gathering at the entrance of Peace Town to take shelter.

An oppressive Aura covered the sky and earth.

Dou Zun Experts!

Earth Demon Old Ghost and Dharma Protector Sen were merely Dou Zong.

For the current Black-Corner Region, there was absolutely no opportunity to even come into contact with experts at the Dou Zun level.

In the distance, Su Qian and Hu Qian were already drenched in cold sweat! They knew that this battle was not something their remaining forces could watch.

At this moment, they were simply small ants beneath a towering skyscraper! No! Not even as good as small ants!

Ants could still move around, but they didn't even dare to twitch!

The eight Dou Zun Experts mentioned by Ling Ying ahead were enough to destroy more than half of the Jia Ma Empire!

Su Qian hurriedly asked Hu Qian to take the many Elders and retreat together, seeking to help other students transfer instead, while he remained on the scene to observe the situation.

As for Yun Yun and the others, Gu He had long since controlled a summoned beast to carry them away.

After all, this was not a gentleman's battle where "envoys are not killed during war between two nations."

If one's weak point was ambushed, what was the difference between that and capturing the leader first?

Gu He was also slightly startled, his expression coloring with a touch of solemnity, yet his tone was exceptionally relaxed,

"I, Gu He, also carry the surname Gu. Those who don't know might think your Ancient Clan's Formation is inviting me home!"

"Something about an abandoned young master of the Ancient Clan wandering in the remote Northwest, the Family is in trouble and begs the young master to set out..."

Ling Ying was somewhat surprised; seeing eight Dou Zun Experts, Gu He did not crawl or tremble, but was still casually making witty remarks.

"What abandoned young master of the Ancient Clan! Don't try to associate yourself with our Young Miss!" Ling Ying snorted coldly.

Gu He laughed softly, "I am not an Ancient Clan young master, then what about you? A lackey of the Ancient Clan?"

"You...!"

"I received orders to protect the Young Miss at the age of twenty, my dark-attribute talent allows me to come without a shadow and go without a trace. Even if I am only the only Dou Huang under the Ancient Clan, I will not tolerate your insults!"

Ling Ying was furious, but then remembered the main business. He arrived in front of the struggling Xiao Yan and said sternly,

"Young Master Xiao Yan, I have come to save you on the orders of the Young Miss!" He looked at Xiao Yan's injuries, his brows furrowed tightly.

If the Young Miss found out he had suffered such heavy injuries, she would surely be heartbroken and fly into a rage!

A glimmer of hope rose in Xiao Yan's eyes, "Young Miss... is it Xun'er?"

He looked up at the eight powerful Dou Zun Experts.

Eight Dou Zun Experts united against a common enemy; this lineup could easily destroy some first-rate factions!

The image of Yao Lao's Soul body being extinguished surfaced in Xiao Yan's eyes once again.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, then the smile gradually widened, stretching to the back of his cheeks like a clown in a play, eerie and crazy,

"Kill! Kill him for me! Kill Gu He!"

If he couldn't eliminate Gu He today, then Gu He would be the nightmare of his life and afterlife, in everything he did!

Naturally, Ling Ying would not completely listen to Xiao Yan.

But seeing Xiao Yan's eerily crazy appearance, he understood that if he let Gu He go and leave safely, Xiao Yan would be devastated, and the Young Miss would be very dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, Ling Ying looked at Gu He.

"I just released my Aura to probe your cultivation. Heh, you are merely a small five-star Dou Huang."

In Ling Ying's heart, the Ancient Clan was his greatest backing.

The Ancient Clan alone had more than a dozen Dou Sheng.

If it hadn't been so sudden when he crushed the Jade Slip to summon reinforcements, he could have called even more Dou Zun.

He said coldly,

"If you are willing to kneel, destroy your own eyes, break your own arms, admit that you insulted our Ancient Clan, and sincerely apologize, I will spare your life."

While Ling Ying was spouting nonsense, Gu He had already called out his System panel.

He had originally wanted to Cultivate quietly after returning.

"System, swallow the Fallen Heart Flame!"

[Fallen Heart Flame is being swallowed...]

[10%...]

[30%...]

[100%!]

[Ding! Fallen Heart Flame swallowed successfully. Congratulations to the host for raising your cultivation to a seven-star Dou Huang!]

[Ding! Successfully refined 'Fallen Heart Flame'!]

[Fallen Heart Flame is being absorbed! Congratulations to the host, the Heaven Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique Myriad Fire Art has become more pure!]

[The host's fire-attribute Dou Technique Rank has increased accordingly!]

[Information for the host has been updated. Would the host like to view it?]

"View"

[host: Gu He]

[Age: 45]

[Cultivation Technique: Myriad Fire Art (Heaven Rank Advanced Peak)]

[Cultivation: Seven-star Dou Huang]

[Alchemist Rank: Rank 7 Advanced Alchemist]

[Flame: Strange Fire - Glazed Lotus Heart Flame]

[Bound Objects: Medusa, Qing Lin]

Gu He's strength and Aura skyrocketed instantly.

He summoned his strange fire. The emerald-green flame rose quietly, like wanton, wild vitality. Inside was a cyan-white, just like blood flowing in the veins.

The Glazed Lotus Heart Flame had both the ability of the Fallen Heart Flame to temper the heart and accelerate Cultivation speed, and the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame to trigger volcanic eruptions.

It could barely be ranked tenth on the strange fire ranking list and could be compared with Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame, but in Gu He's hands, it emitted a more powerful force than the ninth-ranked Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Holding this strange fire in his hand, Gu He felt it was somewhat magical, but quickly restrained his surprise and waited in full battle array.

His opponent was not just the spokesperson Ling Ying; he was just a dark-attribute guard who neglected his Cultivation. Gu He's real opponents were—

Eight Dou Zun Experts.

Ling Ying, directly opposite Gu He, was secretly shocked.

What secret technique did this guy use!?

Could it be that he absorbed the strange fire he just obtained in an instant?

Ling Ying knew that they had gathered here just for this strange fire beneath the academy.

But was absorbing and performing Fusion with a strange fire that simple?

Ling Ying thought, doubting life itself.

As far as he knew, Gu He already possessed a strange fire, so was he now performing Fusion with two different strange fires?!

Unheard of!

And Gu He, opposite him, held his sword, feeling the scorching heat, and said faintly:

"Kneel, destroy my own eyes, break my own arms? Protector Ling, you don't look like a fool, why would you ask such a thing?"

A fatal blow with words!

Ling Ying snorted and waved his large hand, "Then let me show you the strength of our Dou Zun!"

"Some factions are not so easy to provoke!"

The eight Dou Zun Experts descended from the sky like meteorites, their powerful Aura making it impossible to breathe.

They were not as contemptuous of Gu He as Ling Ying; the Dou Zun, who had been roaming the continent for many years, had also heard of some mysterious and powerful forces.

At this moment, they prioritized stability.

The eight people quickly formed a Formation with tacit understanding, "Bone Soul Night" appeared!

This was a secret Formation of the Ancient Clan that required more than five Dou Zun to activate!

Eight people, twelve palms, the pale finger joints shining with a faint light.

The Void Realm beneath Gu He's feet was pitch black as ink, and a rib bone flashed out like a tracker, stabbing straight into his right shoulder, as high as half a building!

The rib pierced through Gu He's bones, and blood gushed out.

"Clang—clang—clang!"

A full eight ribs; with the appearance of the eighth, Gu He had been completely sealed in the high sky!

Like a prisoner locked in a bone cage, unable to move, it was shocking to the eye!
