Gu Hai, Shangguan Hen, Kong Xuan, and Gu Qin flew towards Han Destruction City at the border.
“Father, where’s the Mosquito Daoist? Why aren’t we bringing him?” Gu Qin asked with a frown.
“Borderless Heavenly Capital needs someone to protect it. We will be sufficient,” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” Gu Qin nodded.
Martial Heaven City, Wu Imperial Dynasty:
The Mosquito Daoist was searching for Gu Qin’s souls when Gu Hai’s voice came from the zither puppet.
“We have already found Gu Qin’s souls. Quickly bring Ao Shun back.”
The Mosquito Daoist immediately returned to Ao Shun’s prison cell.
“Did you find him?” Ao Shun asked worriedly.
“There’s no need to search anymore. His Reverence has found them. Come, I’ll undo your seals and reattach your arms,” the Mosquito Daoist replied.
“Is that so? Great!” Ao Shun nodded.
The Mosquito Daoist manipulated the seal in Ao Shun’s body. He had set this seal, so undoing it was easy. A dull sound rang out, and Ao Shun immediately recovered his cultivation.
The Mosquito Daoist took out Ao Shun’s arms.
Reattaching arms was not easy. However, Gu Hai had given the Mosquito Daoist a small bottle. Now, the Mosquito Daoist looked at this small bottle with some curiosity.
After placing the arms at their proper locations, the Mosquito Daoist poured out a small trickle of seven-colored liquid on the junctures.
Gasp! “It’s very itchy!” Ao Shun frowned.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Flesh, blood vessels, and bones quickly grew at the junctures. Ruined flesh got pushed out, replaced by new flesh.
The two arms reconnected in mere moments.
“What is this? To think it’s so incredible?!” The Mosquito Daoist gazed at the small bottle in shock.
This was the Mosquito Daoist’s first time seeing such a miraculous liquid. To think Ao Shun’s arms reconnected so rapidly?
Ao Shun gently wiped away the damaged flesh and revealed smooth, soft skin.
“This is nothing. Previously, Shangguan Hen only had his head left, but His Reverence regrew his entire body,” Ao Shun said matter-of-factly.
“Huh?” The Mosquito Daoist appeared shocked.
At the same time, he felt excited. His Reverence has such a treasure? Wouldn’t I be able to recover immediately if I ever got hurt?
“How is the reconnection?” The Mosquito Daoist looked at Ao Shun in anticipation.
“The reconnection is perfect. However, this is new flesh, which is somewhat lacking in density. I still need a few days for a full recovery,” Ao Shun said.
“Alright, since you are fine already, let’s leave. Come with me!” the Mosquito Daoist called out.
Ao Shun nodded.
The black mosquitoes knocked all the guards in the prison unconscious, so no one stopped the two as the two left.
However, their figures stopped the moment they stepped out.
Long Shenwu and a group of zombies waited outside with stony expressions.
“Ao Shun? This is indeed Gu Hai’s plot!” Ao Sheng glared furiously.
“The Mosquito Daoist? Hah! We did not expect you to join the Han Imperial Dynasty!” Long Shenwu said coldly.
More experts arrived in the surroundings. However, this was nothing to the Mosquito Daoist.
“We can’t linger. Let’s go!” the Mosquito Daoist shouted sullenly.
The Mosquito Daoist and Ao Shun took to the sky.
“Where are you going?” Ao Sheng and Long Shenwu shouted and leaped up after them.
Boom!
Many Martial Heaven City experts gave chase.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Mosquito Daoist waved, and a surging cloud of black mosquitoes rushed at the many experts, blocking their vision.
Not wanting to fight, the Mosquito Daoist and Ao Shun flew out of Martial Heaven City at an extreme speed.
Long Shenwu and Ao Sheng were no slower. They soon left the city behind.
“Humph!” Long Shenwu snorted coldly, and his figure flashed.
Long Shenwu instantly arrived before the Mosquito Daoist and threw a punch.
“What?” The Mosquito Daoist’s face sank as he responded with a palm strike.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as the palm and the fist clashed, producing a powerful shock wave and intense winds. The immense force even ripped space.
“That’s impossible! Long Shenwu, why is your strength equal to mine?” the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed in shock.
“Equal to yours? Haha! This is just the start. Since you are here in Martial Heaven City, then don’t leave!” Long Shenwu glared.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
An enormous pair of greenish-black dragon bone wings suddenly burst out of Long Shenwu’s back. He gave off an overwhelming black aura, dyeing the entire world black.
Long Shenwu’s eyes flashed red, and fangs spouted from his mouth. He now gave off an aura several times more powerful than before.
That powerful aura pressed on the Mosquito Daoist.
“Jiangchen’s body? You also cultivated Jiangchen’s body? Furthermore, this bloodline… That’s impossible!” the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed.
“Hah!”
Long Shenwu reared his head and roared. Then his figure flashed, moving several times faster than before, and he instantly arrived before the Mosquito Daoist and punched.
Boom!
The punch slammed the Mosquito Daoist back. He crashed into an enormous mountain and shattered it.
“The famous Mosquito Daoist? You are only so-so!” Long Shenwu flapped his wings and gave chase.
“Mosquito Daoist!” The nearby Ao Shun’s expression changed.
“Just leave me! Report to His Reverence first!” The Mosquito Daoist climbed out of the rubble with a ferocious expression.
“You want to leave? Have you asked me yet?” Ao Sheng blocked Ao Shun.
Ao Shun immediately felt anxious as he looked at Ao Sheng.
“Humph!” Ao Shun snorted coldly, ignoring Ao Sheng as he flew into the distance.
“Where are you going?” Ao Sheng yelled furiously as he threw a punch.
“Move aside!” Ao Shun shouted as he counterpunched.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as the two’s figures stopped. Ao Sheng could do nothing to Ao Shun. However, Ao Shun could not suppress Ao Sheng, perhaps because his arms had not fully recovered yet. Nevertheless, it did not matter. The instant the two parted, Ao Shun fled into the distance.
“Where are you going?” Ao Sheng gave relentless chase.
Whoosh!
The two vanished into the horizon, one in front and one behind.
Long Shenwu did not leave because he wanted to capture the Mosquito Daoist.
The Mosquito Daoist climbed out of the rubble. Not wanting to continue the fight, he flew into the distance.
“Fleeing? You might be able to flee from me if it were two years ago. Now, we have Jiangchen’s blood. Fleeing? What a joke!” Long Shenwu immediately appeared in front of the Mosquito Daoist and extended his hand to grab.
Boom!
The Mosquito Daoist threw a punch in a hurry but got knocked back again.
The Mosquito Daoist crashed into another mountain and likewise shattered it.
Long Shenwu waved, and countless rock fragments flew into the sky, exposing the Mosquito Daoist.
Flee, get knocked back. Flee, get knocked back…
This pattern repeated many times. Long Shenwu held an absolute advantage as the Mosquito Daoist’s injuries increased.
“Surrender and submit to us. We can spare you!” Long Shenwu shouted.
“Haha! You want me to submit to you? You are not qualified!” the Mosquito Daoist sneered as he climbed out of the rubble.
“We are not qualified, but Gu Hai is? Humph! Are we not comparable to Gu Hai to you? You are seeking death!” Long Shenwu snorted coldly and appeared in front of the Mosquito Daoist. This time, he did not deal a heavy blow. Instead, he grabbed the Mosquito Daoist’s shoulders.
The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed. “What are you doing?”
Phish!
Long Shenwu’s fangs pierced the Mosquito Daoist’s shoulder.
“We will turn you into a zombie progeny!” Long Shenwu started sucking the Mosquito Daoist’s blood through his fangs.
Bang!
Suddenly, the Mosquito Daoist broke apart into a hundred black mosquitoes.
“What’s?” Long Shenwu’s face sank as he extended his hand to grab. None of the one hundred mosquitoes managed to flee, crushed in his hand.
“Mosquito clones?” Long Shenwu’s expression changed.
He waved his hand, and an immense force reduced the surroundings to rubble. However, he could not find the Mosquito Daoist.
“That bastard!” Long Shenwu turned furious.
The Mosquito Daoist had already fled to a valley far away.
Wounds riddled the Mosquito Daoist’s body. Grimacing, he said, “This lord is the master of flight. I can even flee from Sect Master Heavenly Access and the Present Buddha. Do you think I can’t flee from you? Humph!”
The Mosquito Daoist rubbed the wounds on his body and continued, “Long Shenwu now has Jiangchen’s body. How powerful! If he used the power of his nation, he would not be weaker than His Reverence when His Reverence defeated Sect Master Heavenly Access.”
He showed an unsightly expression. “What is happening to this world? Ridiculously powerful people are appearing one after another. Incidentally, there’s a tattoo of a guqin on Long Shenwu’s nape? What is that?”
Whoosh!
The Mosquito Daoist shot towards Borderless Heavenly Capital.
On the other side:
Ao Sheng chased Ao Shun for some time but lost sight of him. After all, Ao Shun was more powerful than Ao Sheng, and he did not want to fight with his younger brother.
“Humph! Ao Shun, you had better not let me catch you!” Ao Sheng roared in fury.
However, Ao Shun had already vanished into the horizon.
Gu Hai’s group of four arrived outside Han Destruction City.
“Your Reverence, how about this subject turn into a fly and sneak in?” Shangguan Hen suggested.
“No. If we guess right, Sect Master Heavenly Access will be prepared. We cannot rule out the possibility of a ritual array. If you go in, you might not come out anymore,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“But…”
“Father, even if there is a ritual array, we have to barge in. Barging in now would be better than barging in at noon two days later, right?” Gu Qin frowned.
“If there is only Sect Master Heavenly Access, it would be so. However, there is also Sima Changkong. Han Destruction City’s defenses now would not be any weaker than two days later,” Gu Hai said.
“Then are we not going in?” Gu Qin frowned.
“We are. We must go in. Shangguan Hen, transform into our appearance,” Gu Hai said.
“Ah? This subject does not dare to!” Shangguan Hen immediately said with a bitter smile.
“Just transform when we tell you to. If you impersonate us, Sect Master Heavenly Access will find you and fight you. During that time, we will look for the White Emperor,” Gu Hai said.
“Yes!” Shangguan Hen answered.
“Kong Xuan, you follow Shangguan Hen. Although the two of you are weaker than Sect Master Heavenly Access, you should be able to hold your own for a while by working together. We will find the White Emperor and meet with you immediately after,” Gu Hai instructed.
“Yes!” Kong Xuan answered.
“Father, this child wants to go too. This child must see Mother get to safety!” Gu Qin said anxiously.
Gu Hai looked at Gu Qin and eventually nodded. “That’s fine. You follow me. Be careful!”
“Yes!”
Shangguan Hen’s figure flashed, and he took on Gu Hai’s appearance.
Gu Hai swept his sleeve out and covered Gu Qin and himself with the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, vanishing.
