91: Unleashing divine power

At this time, in the mountains and fields, a man with a human head and a snake's body was surrounded by three middle-aged men wearing fierce ghost masks. They stood in a Three Talents Formation, their magic powers faintly connected, possessing extraordinary power.

This man with a human head and a snake's body was naturally Gu Yuchuan. These three middle-aged men were all at the Second layer of Foundation Establishment. With the three of them combined, their aura was unfathomable, truly making him feel a heavy pressure.

Could it be that his being intercepted wasn't because of Pei Yu? Then that White Tiger Demon General was truly pitiful; by some fluke, he really was related to the Human Race. However, the origins of these few people still needed to be investigated.

They were clearly not Human Race Cultivators from this battlefield. Whether it was the Hundred Flowers Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, or the Green Wood Gate, their Cultivators had very distinct characteristics. A Cultivator's spiritual light could be recognized at a glance. But these few people were different; their bodies were filled with a cold aura, carrying a sense of death that made living beings very uncomfortable.

However, Gu Yuchuan was not afraid. Since casting his Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation, he hadn't really had a good fight. Now, he could see what an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage was like. To put it bluntly, a Second layer of Foundation Establishment definitely couldn't defeat him, even if there were three of them.

He raised his head and looked down at them, his pupils filled with a superior disdain: "What is the origin of you humans? What is the meaning of blocking this seat here today? You don't think that a mere three Cultivators can stop me, do you? Confess honestly, and I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, my Yao Race has plenty of ways to torture people."

The Cultivator opposite him spat: "Snake demon, you are truly looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. You are just a newly promoted Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. Any one of us three at the Second layer of Foundation Establishment could kill you easily. Yet you dare to be so arrogant. It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

After he finished speaking, the leading man spoke: "We are also from a great School, so we won't hide anything. The three of us are Cultivators of the Yellow Springs Sect. You killed the son of our Golden Core Elder, so naturally, you must die."

Oh, Gu Yuchuan finally remembered. When he was in the Heavenly Profound Secret Realm, he had indeed killed a Cultivator of the Yellow Springs Sect. So it was the Karma from that time. As for how they were able to find him, he wasn't surprised. After all, he was the son of a Golden Core True Person; it was normal to have some means.

This Golden Core True Person was named Situ Xuanming, a Cultivator of the Third level of the Golden Core Stage. After receiving the news of his son's death, he sent his three Disciples to seek revenge. These three Cultivators before him were Daoist Ming Chuan, Daoist Ming Hua, and Daoist Ming Yue.

Wait, something wasn't right. Gu Yuchuan remembered that the Yellow Springs Sect Cultivator was named Situ Wangchuan, and he clearly hadn't killed him. Could they have made a mistake? However, he didn't say it out loud. After all, he also wanted to fight. He knew that even if he said it, the other party wouldn't believe him.

However, this was calculated by a Golden Core Stage Immortal Master. Gu Yuchuan was indeed to bear the primary responsibility for Situ Mingchuan's death. Back in the Profound Heavenly Secret Realm, he had indeed spared the other party, but he had wounded him. It was also Situ Wangchuan's bad luck; he directly ran into a beast in the Secret Realm and died there. As the heavenly secrets manifested, the primary Karma for this death was indeed on Gu Yuchuan.

At this time, the three Cultivators had surrounded Gu Yuchuan. Although their words were disrespectful to Gu Yuchuan, in reality, they were already being extremely cautious. Despite having the advantage in cultivation level and numbers, they even set up a Three Talents Formation. They truly felt pressure from Gu Yuchuan.

Gu Yuchuan didn't want to say anything more. If they were going to fight, then fight. He wasn't the kind of little snake that would be afraid. "Do the three of you plan to attack together? That's fine. It's just as well, so you'll have companions on the Yellow Springs Road and won't be too lonely."

He knew that when facing many as one, he had to deal with one first, even if it meant trading injury for injury.

He twisted his tail and in the blink of an eye arrived in front of Daoist Ming Chuan. Unfortunately, he didn't have a Spiritual Artifact in hand; otherwise, his combat power could have been improved a lot. He struck out with his right palm toward the other's chest. If this strike landed solidly, the opponent might lose his combat capability immediately.

Most Human Race Cultivators were Spell Cultivators, with only a few having some close-combat abilities. Clearly, Daoist Ming Chuan had none. His face was filled with panic. While retreating, he struck out a yellow Water Sword. This Water Sword was no ordinary Water Sword; the water flow was a specialty of their Yellow Springs Sect, Yellow Springs Water, which could foul others' Magic Treasures and physical bodies.

This Yellow Springs Water was something they cultivated by imitating Wangchuan Water. It belonged to the category of Acquired spiritual water. It was very useful in ordinary battles. But wasn't this a coincidence? Water Swords and Yellow Springs Water—couldn't they all be controlled by the Water Control Talent? However, Gu Yuchuan's Water Manipulation was, after all, only Elementary Water Manipulation. Seizing control of the Spell was still a bit difficult.

However, the speed of the Water Sword clearly slowed down. Sweat also appeared on the opponent's forehead: "Two Senior Brothers, this snake demon is using a Demonic Technique to control my Water Sword. Act quickly!"

Seeing their Junior Brother falling into a disadvantage, the other two Cultivators actually each sacrificed a Spiritual Artifact. Daoist Ming Hua's Spiritual Artifact was a red flower that looked very similar to the Manjusaka of the underworld. It extended many red vines, coiling toward Gu Yuchuan. Daoist Ming Yue's Spiritual Artifact was a deep blue Flying Sword, which also flew toward Gu Yuchuan.

Gu Yuchuan didn't have the slightest intention of defending. He continued to charge forward, his hands continuously striking out Water Swords. The distance between them slowly closed. Finally, the two Spiritual Artifacts struck Gu Yuchuan's body, but there was a faint golden light on his body that blocked all attacks. This was the defensive capability of his Golden Light Incantation. Cultivators of the same level, without a Great Divine Ability or a treasure exceeding their level, simply could not break his defense.

Finally, Gu Yuchuan approached Daoist Ming Chuan and spat a mouthful of venom onto his face. However, his two Senior Brothers were already closing in, so he could only take two steps back to temporarily open up some distance. But Gu Yuchuan had great confidence in his toxins; he had already gained a significant advantage.

Sure enough, Daoist Ming Chuan's face had already turned purple, and his lips were trembling constantly. Anyone could see that it would be hard for him to survive. Daoist Ming Yue took out a white jade-like Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch and fed it to him. Only then did the toxins in his body ease significantly. This was a Second-grade life-saving Medicinal Pill, with a value definitely exceeding five hundred Spirit Stones.
