Chapter 98

The family that had recruited Hu Zhihui did not know that Guo Shier was the expert who had defeated Jin Daya and Jin Longqing. That was why Hu Zhihui was so confident. If he knew that Guo Shi 'er had the strength to chase after Jin Daya and Jin Longqing, then he would have tried to avoid them instead of charging straight at Guo Shi' er like he was doing now.

Guo Shier happily drove the altar to crash into it. Ever since he had defeated Jin Daya, he had become very enthusiastic about this kind of battle. His altar was extremely sturdy, and he had A Handsome Old Man to repair it at any time. Even if it was damaged, he did not have to worry about it. Since that was the case, why not crash?

Hu Zhihui charged over in a menacing manner. He had thought that Guo Shier would dodge, but who knew that the guy in front of him would be faster than him. That posture made him feel slightly uneasy. He did not understand what his opponent was trying to do.

Both of them were incredibly fast, and in just a flash, Hu Zhihui was already too late to dodge. In a hurry, he raised the altar's defense, but it was only a basic defense. There was no time to activate a large-scale defense. The two of them collided head-on.

A ball of dazzling brilliance suddenly flashed in the dark night sky, brightly illuminating the earth. With a loud bang, the two altars were thrown out at the same time.

Hu Zhihui cursed. He never thought that his opponent would dare to use an altar to hit him. He was a wandering professional who had traveled to countless continents. When he felt tired, he would become a guest of a powerful family. After staying for a while, he would wander again. To him, whether it was killing monsters or killing people, it was a very common thing. He also had a lot of battle experience. He did not expect to suffer such a big loss this time. The altar was covered with small cracks.

"Damn bastard … … How can you fight like this … …"

Guo Shier did not answer. He slightly stabilized the altar and rammed it again. Hu Zhihui was so scared that he turned around and ran. He cursed, "Madman! You bastard madman! "

Not to mention Hu Zhihui, even Luo Zhan, who was sitting on Guo Shier's altar, was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Guo Shi Shi laughed and said, "That's right! Come again! "He rammed into her with brute force.

Hu Zhihui had never thought of risking his life for the Gu Jin Family. It was not worth it. He was only a guest Patriarch, not the real Patriarch of the Gu Jin Family. Even a real Patriarch would not risk his life like this. What a joke. He wasn't stupid enough to risk destroying the altar just for the sake of winning a battle.

Just when Guo Shi 'er's altar was about to collide, Hu Zhihui teleported away and shouted, "I don't want to fight with a madman!" He vaguely understood that Guo Shi' er was not an ordinary two-layer altar warrior. In this world, there were very few professionals who could challenge those of a higher level, but if there was one, their strength would be shocking.

Guo Shier watched Hu Zhihui teleport a few times and then disappear into the darkness. After a while, he laughed loudly. Luo Zhan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Twelve, that person ran away … He was actually scared away by you."

Luo Zhan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Shier, that person ran away … You scared him away."

"Smart guy. If he didn't run, he would be an idiot." Guo Shier stopped laughing and said, "In my hometown, there is an old saying. The soft fear the hard, the hard fear the unreasonable, and the unreasonable fear the reckless … Hehe, let him see what it means to be reckless!"

Luo Zhan was puzzled. Your hometown is my hometown. How come I have never heard of this saying? He did not know that this was Guo Shier's hometown from his previous life.

A Handsome Old Man rubbed his chin and nodded. "Hmm, that makes sense. Not bad. Hehe, your mission is complete. Next … you have to complete my mission. No, you have to complete it for yourself."

"What mission?" Guo Shier asked.

A Handsome Old Man was furious and scolded, "You stupid boy. You don't even know your own things. You need me to remind you. You … you are a fool. You are so careless and infatuated. You don't know what you are talking about! Do what you want … If you can't remember, I don't care … Damn it, if you are not anxious … why should I be anxious? "

Luo Zhan sat behind Guo Shier and laughed. Not only him, Falconer and Nan You also liked to listen to A Handsome Old Man scold Guo Shier. They all liked to see Guo Shier being scolded.

Guo Shier suddenly came to his senses. He patted the top of the altar. A Handsome Old Man was sucked into the altar and suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, A Handsome Old Man reappeared. "Bastard … You …" Guo Shier patted the top of the altar again. A Handsome Old Man disappeared again. This time, A Handsome Old Man reappeared after about ten seconds.

A Handsome Old Man didn't scold anymore. He knew that if he did, he would be sucked into the altar again. He said, "Ah, what a tough life. Alright, alright. Hurry up and finish your mission. I don't have much time."

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Don't worry. They just started fighting. There are no casualties yet." He sat on the altar and waited quietly.

Because of Hu Zhihui's unexpected retreat, all the top experts of the Gu Jin Family were in a panic. Luckily, Guo Shier didn't want to join the fight. So they could still hold on. They fought with the Chief Elder of the Gu Nan Family. Both sides fought back and forth. The battle on the ground was still going on. The Gu Jin Family's professional army rushed over and quickly engaged in a chaotic battle with the Gu Nan Family's professional army.

Because Hu Zhihui didn't succeed in breaking through the Gu Nan Family's defense array, the attacking side suffered a big loss. However, at this point, they couldn't stop. They had to brace themselves and continue to attack. Otherwise, they would face a crushing defeat.

Nan Xiong was the commander here. He kept staring at the defense array nervously. When the Gu Jin Family's professional army arrived in front of the array, the defense array was still intact. He was overjoyed and said, "Pass down my order. Start the long-range attack immediately!"

Countless slender javelin-like objects shot out. They drew arcs in the air and quickly pierced down.

The Gu Jin Family's professionals let out a battle cry. Their bodies flashed with rune light. They raised their rune shields at the same time. However, everyone's face was filled with fear.

Following the sound of an explosion, there were countless explosions and a large number of explosions. Guo Shier, who was in the sky, said in surprise, "This thing is powerful … It's so powerful!" This kind of talisman weapon that looked like a javelin could explode upon contact with the target. He had seen it a long time ago in the Hidden Secret Realm. However, the power of that kind of talisman was much weaker than the one in front of him.

Countless javelins rained down. This kind of long-range, bomb-like attack was very common here. Since the Gu Nan Family had the defense array and the enemy didn't, the Gu Jin Family's professionals suffered a lot. A professional might be able to block one or two attacks with their own armor or rune defense. However, facing the bombardment of javelins, they couldn't withstand it anymore.

The Gu Jin Family's commander gave the order to attack. If the bombardment continued, the professionals wouldn't be able to withstand it. Up until now, the casualties weren't too high. Most of the professionals were just injured. Only a small portion of the weaker ones were killed. Most of them were Junior Masters or Rune Martial Masters.

The Gu Jin Family's army rushed to the talisman formation. The professionals started to attack the talisman formation crazily, trying to break it. At the same time, the Gu Nan Family's professionals started to push outwards. Finally, the two sides clashed. All of a sudden, blood and flesh flew everywhere. This was much more bloody than long-range attacks.

When the two sides started to fight, the leaders and elders in the sky stopped attacking at the same time and went back to their own camps. These people were all top-notch martial artists. They had to go back to their own camps to help control the formation. Only Guo Shier was still standing in the sky. However, he still didn't attack.

Guo Shier knew that he couldn't attack. The other side had people watching him. This was a tacit understanding between the higher-ups. The top-notch professionals couldn't kill ordinary disciples. He knew this very well. Once he attacked, he would break this tacit understanding. Then, the other side would start to attack the ordinary disciples. No one wanted to see this result.

As the number of deaths increased, Guo Shier could already feel the souls that were dissipating in the air. More and more souls floated out of the corpses. They turned into green smoke with the wind and gradually disappeared.

A Handsome Old Man stared down for a moment. He lightly patted the altar, and countless tentacles reached out. This time, the tentacles were very different from before. There were only about a thousand tentacles. Each tentacle had been carefully refined by A Handsome Old Man. They were as thin as a finger and almost transparent. If one looked carefully, one could see some shadows.

Guo Shier was surprised. "Huh? This feeling … is very different …"

A Handsome Old Man grinned and said, "This old man refined them again … Hehe, it's night time now. This is a good chance, a good chance!" He continuously cast hundreds of incantations and shouted, "Come on, baby!" Those tentacles quickly extended downwards.

Guo Shier couldn't help but want to lower the height of the altar. As soon as he moved, A Handsome Old Man noticed. He said in a low voice, "Brat, no need. Just stop here. We don't need to get close."

The finger-thick tentacles became thinner and thinner until they were as thin as hair. They hung down less than 5 meters above the battlefield and began to collect the souls of the dead.

A Handsome Old Man said, "Do you know why so few people collect the souls of Professionists?"

Guo Shier asked, "Why?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "There are two reasons." He raised his finger and said, "First, this is a taboo for Professionists. Collecting the souls of the dead can easily anger most Professionists."

Guo Shier was confused. "Then why do you still want to collect them?"

A Handsome Old Man ignored him and continued, "Second, even if you collect the souls of Professionists, most people … Hmm, out of a thousand people, 999 Professionists probably don't know how to use them. Only a very small number of Professionists, through special inheritances … know how to use them. Among them, the best use are the Black Talisman people. Their unique soul flame can remove harmful things from the soul."

Thousands of extremely thin tentacles swept back and forth above the crowd, swallowing the souls of the Spirit Catcher.

The Professionists on the ground were fighting with their lives on the line. No one could imagine that there were Spirit Catcher Tentacles less than 5 meters above them. Guo Shier silently sensed it. Because he was the master of the altar, he could clearly sense any of A Handsome Old Man's actions, including the large number of souls entering Gusirius's body and then being extracted by A Handsome Old Man.

Luo Zhan was confused. "They're all Professionists, why don't they fly …"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Fly? Who dares to fly … If they fly, they'll be a target, and if they fly, they'll be looking for death. Hehe, in this kind of situation, only Illusory Altar experts and above dare to fly, and they have to fly high in the sky. Others can forget about it. Whether they're Saint Masters or Great Saint Masters, as long as they fly out of the crowd, they won't be able to live! "

Guo Shier realized that A Handsome Old Man didn't distinguish between friend and foe. As long as a soul floated out, the Spirit Catcher Tentacles would be swept clean. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly, but he didn't stop it. Since the soul dissipated in the air, it would be a waste not to use it. He was the same as the handsome old man in terms of selfishness.

Falconer said, "If we continue to fight like this, the Gujin Family will be at a great disadvantage. Since they've been thwarted by a strong attack, they can only use their lives to make up for it."

Guo Shier nodded and said, "The defensive array glyphs are extremely important. If it's broken, both sides will be evenly matched. Hehe, right now … if the Gunan Family's Professionists feel that they can't win, they can retreat into the formation and take the place of their Professionists. The Gujin Family can only fight with brute force and suffer heavy casualties …"

A Handsome Old Man said, "There aren't many casualties, only a thousand or so. Most of them are injured. Hmm, those who are fighting are all ordinary soldiers. Very few Sacred Masters and above are involved … What a pity."

At this time, the hunting carts of both sides began to attack each other. Guo Shier said, "Uncle Falconer, Nan You, don't let the hunting carts come close to us. Shoot down anyone who comes within a three hundred meter radius."

Falconer asked, "If the Gunan Family's hunting carts come close … will you shoot them down as well?"
