Eternal Sacred King

2093 It’s Best if You Don’t Head Back

If not for this Black Light Essence Severing Formation, the many Execution Guards present were not confident that they could keep Gu Tongyou.

With this formation that isolated Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, Gu Tongyou could not activate the sound of his flute with Essence Qi and the threat to them was minimized.

When one fell into the Black Light Essence Severing Formation, they could only use their Essence Spirits and the power of blood qi in their bodies. However, they could not release any Dharmic arts or divine powers.

Be it Gu Tongyou or Qiu Siluo, their bloodlines and physiques were extremely ordinary.

Qiu Siluo sat on the ground limply without any combat strength left.

The only one left was the severely injured Gu Tongyou whose Essence Qi had dried up and was not much of a threat. That was the reason why the Execution Guards present were so relaxed and fearless.

“Do it,”

Commander Xiong said in a deep voice, “Capture the two of them alive and hand them over to Princess Meng Yao.”

“Hold on,”

Right then, Commander Liu suddenly stood out and turned to look at Xie Tianfeng, Lin Ming, Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian. “The four of you, head up and capture the two of them.”

“This…”

The decision was extremely sudden.

Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian were instantly alarmed.

Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming were hesitant as well.

Commander Liu harrumphed coldly. “The two of them have weak physiques and are severely injured. Even if they’re Grade 8 Earth Immortals, they won’t be able to unleash much combat strength. What are you afraid of?”

“You’re not willing to grab such a chance to render meritorious services?”

Commander Xiong, Commander Li and the others watched coldly from the sidelines.

Although they did not know Commander Liu’s intentions, they were not sure if Gu Tongyou had any other trump cards. It was fine to send outsiders to test the waters.

Zuo Zhuxuan, Shangguan Qian and Lin Ming exchanged glances and hesitated.

A vicious glint flashed through Xie Tianfeng’s eyes as he stood out and patted his chest. “Commander Liu, let me do it!”

Actually, Xie Tianfeng also knew that there was a certain degree of danger involved in this attack.

However, fortune came from danger!

If he could make use of this opportunity to gain the favor of the three Execution Guard commanders, it might bring immense benefits to him and his family clan!

Furthermore, Xie Tianfeng had the confidence as well.

Although his cultivation realm was only at the Level 7 Earth Essence realm, the cultivation techniques of the Xie family specialized in body tempering. Even if he could not defeat them in the Black Light Essence Severing Formation, he could escape alive.

Xie Tianfeng looked askance at Lin Ming and Zuo Zhuxuan before turning to Shangguan Qian and bragging, “Fellow Daoist Shangguan, you saw it too. Those two are as cowardly as rats. How embarrassing.”

With that said, Xie Tianfeng walked towards Gu Tongyou murderously.

Gu Tongyou stood on the spot motionlessly with the Fallen Soul Flute in his hands.

Although Xie Tianfeng stood out, he did not underestimate his opponent nor did he attack rashly.

Instead, he stood ten feet away from Gu Tongyou and walked around the latter slowly, looking for openings and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Gu Tongyou was still standing on the spot with his head slightly lowered. He looked at the Fallen Soul Flute in his hands with a melancholic expression.

Suddenly!

After circling a few times, Xie Tianfeng stopped in his tracks and attacked. Blood qi burst forth from his body as he withdrew a saber from his storage bag and charged towards Gu Tongyou!

“Kneel!”

Xie Tianfeng knew that he had to keep them alive. Therefore, he chose to slash towards Gu Tongyou’s knees.

As though he did not see Xie Tianfeng charging over, Gu Tongyou was still unmoved.

It was only when Xie Tianfeng had already closed in and the saber was about to slash his knees with a gentle breeze that Gu Tongyou suddenly raised his palm.

Whoosh!

He had Fallen Soul Flute in his hands the entire time.

In the process of raising his palm, Fallen Soul Flute made use of the breeze created by Gu Tongyou’s slash to let out a strange sound!

The many Execution Guards watching did not feel anything.

However, Xie Tianfeng, who was closest to Gu Tongyou, shuddered and his blood qi calmed down instantly.

Even his Essence Spirit trembled slightly and his gaze froze, causing his consciousness to go blank for a moment.

In reality, the Fallen Soul Flute was extremely powerful.

If Gu Tongyou played the Fallen Soul Flute with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the sound of the flute could cause one’s soul to die!

The sound of the Soul Reaping Zither could draw out one’s soul and dissipate it into the world!

The Soul Reaping Zither and Fallen Soul Flute were once the two most famous utmost treasures of the sound domain in an ancient era!

When the two weapons were pushed to their limits, the sound of the zither and flute could be heard. It could even kill all living beings in a world in a short period of time!

Unfortunately, the Essence Qi in Gu Tongyou’s body was almost depleted.

He could not use Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to play the Fallen Soul Flute.

However, he was well-versed in music and was extremely talented. He merely made use of the breeze created by Xie Tianfeng’s charge to let out a strange sound through the sound hole of the Fallen Soul Flute.

Although the sound did not synthesize Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, it still affected Xie Tianfeng when it sounded in his ears.

He paused for a moment and his consciousness blurred, recovering quickly.

That momentary opening was enough for Gu Tongyou.

Although Xie Tianfeng paused for a moment, Gu Tongyou did not.

He raised the Fallen Soul Flute in his hands and released the sound of the flute. At the same time, the Fallen Soul Flute happened to be raised in front of Xie Tianfeng’s face!

Gu Tongyou’s arm extended forward gently.

Poof!

A bloodied hole appeared on Xie Tianfeng’s glabella from Fallen Soul Flute.

Xie Tianfeng had just snapped out of his stupor when he felt a sharp pain in his consciousness!

However, this time round, his consciousness fell into a bottomless abyss and he never woke up again.

Thump!

Xie Tianfeng fell to the ground with widened eyes, unable to rest in peace!

When Su Zimo saw that, he could not help but praise internally.

Gu Tongyou’s attack was filled with imagination.

The entire process was fluid as water with an indescribable elegance.

It was a strange feeling. There seemed to be no blood or cruelty in the hands of this person. Instead, there was a hint of beauty.

Gu Tongyou did not use much strength to kill Xie Tianfeng.

Even so, his body swayed as well, as though he had expended a lot of energy and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

The wounds on his body ruptured once more!

“Tongyou, you…” Qiu Siluo was worried.

Gu Tongyou sighed gently. “We’re going to die here today.”

He was already at the end of his road and anyone present could kill the two of them!

“The three of you, head up,”

Commander Liu looked at Shangguan Qian, Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming who were left.

Their expressions changed.

Xie Tianfeng had just died and even if Gu Tongyou was already at the end of his rope, the three of them were afraid of Gu Tongyou’s strange methods and did not dare to advance rashly.

Lin Ming rolled his eyes and pointed to Su Zimo at the side. “Commander Liu, let him go! He has just obtained the inheritance of Astral Sect. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to witness his capabilities!”

Commander Liu’s expression darkened.

Initially, he wanted to hide this matter. He did not expect Lin Ming to reveal it directly.

“What inheritance of Astral Sect?”

At the side, Commander Li seemed to have sensed something and turned to ask.

“Nothing much,”

Commander Liu changed the topic and said coldly, “Let’s hurry and capture the two of them so that we can head back and report it to Princess Meng Yao!”

With that said, Commander Liu headed towards Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo.

Suddenly, a palm touched his shoulder and someone whispered into his ear, “It’s best if you don’t head back.”
