Long Yu's heart tightened at the sight of Huo Yuanbai flying over.
He didn't think that Huo Yuanbai would really come alone, and so quickly at that. It was evident that Long Yu was still very important to Huo Yuanbai.
But now that the Duke of Ghost Evil had come personally, he was most likely after Huo Yuanbai's life. Huo Yuanbai coming alone was no different from walking into a trap!
Huo Yuanbai was very strong, with seven divine-realm strength that made him invincible in the entire Ghost Evil County. Even if he faced the Ghost Evil County's army, he wouldn't be in any danger.
But that was only against the ordinary cultivators of the Ghost Evil County.
But now, the Duke of Ghost Evil County had come personally with the Imperial Road Secret Realm. No matter how many skills Huo Yuanbai had, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"Jiejiejie! Huo Yuanbai, you really came. Not bad, not bad! "
Seeing Huo Yuanbai's figure, the Duke of Ghost Evil's smile widened. The trouble that had troubled him for a long time was about to be resolved. He was naturally overjoyed.
Logically speaking, with his strength, it would be easy to kill Huo Yuanbai. However, the Asura Duke placed great importance on Huo Yuanbai.
If the Duke of Ghost Evil killed Huo Yuanbai, the Asura Duke would definitely come looking for him. Even for the Duke of Ghost Evil County, it would be troublesome.
But now, the Duke of Ghost Evil County had set a trap for Huo Yuanbai to walk right into it. With some explanation, even if the Asura Duke wanted to find trouble with him, he wouldn't have any reason to!
"Duke of Ghost Evil County."
Huo Yuanbai wore a white robe and exuded an imposing aura. Flying from afar, he saw the Dragon Bone Tower beneath the Duke of Ghost Evil's feet and his expression changed.
At this moment, Huo Yuanbai still didn't know that Long Yu had the Dragon Bone Tower, so he subconsciously thought that the Dragon Bone Tower was the Duke of Ghost Evil's new great desolate-level combat weapon.
"Huo Yuanbai, I respect you as a man. How about following me from now on?"
The Ghost Evil Duke coldly smiled. He shouted out, "As a condition, I will do everything in my power to allow you to step into the Royal Road Mystic Realm. I won't be like the Asura King, completely ignoring you!"
"Dream on."
Huo Yuanbai refused without a second thought. He looked at Duke Gui Xie coldly, "Where is the mountain ghost?"
Hearing Huo Yuanbai's direct rejection, the Duke of Ghost Evil Monarch did not mind at all, and said casually, "It's under my feet. I didn't expect that kid to have a Great Desolation Battle Weapon. What a surprise, but from today onwards, this Battle Weapon belongs to me!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuanbai heaved a sigh of relief. Only now did he remember that Long Yu had such an ancient pagoda warrior that could protect him in the Asura Holy Tree valley.
With such an ancient pagoda as a combat weapon, Long Yu would not be killed so easily. Even the Gui Xie Duke in the King Road Secret Territory would not be able to easily destroy this ancient pagoda.
If that was the case, Huo Yuanbai was relieved.
"Before I left, I sent the Deputy General to inform the Regional King. We only need to delay for a period of time. Once the Regional King arrives, we will be able to avert the danger."
Huo Yuanbai thought to himself. He did not back down. In fact, even if he wanted to back down now, it was impossible.
"Die, Gui Xie Duke!"
Thinking of this, Huo Yuanbai shouted and pretended to rush towards the Gui Xie Duke. In the blink of an eye, he appeared near the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
The Gui Xie Duke stood at the top of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda, exuding a powerful and chilling aura. Although he was only a small dot in the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda, his aura was not to be underestimated.
"Want to kill me?"
The Gui Xie Duke heard Huo Yuanbai's shout and grinned, "Huo Yuanbai, aren't you a little too naive? Or is it that you want to kill me on the surface, but in reality, you want to hide in this ancient pagoda? "
The Gui Xie Duke had lived for more than a hundred years. He had long seen through Huo Yuanbai's intentions!
However, at this moment, the Gui Xie Duke suddenly felt a strange power from the Divine Characters beneath his feet. It suddenly began to absorb his energy, causing his expression to change.
"The power of this Divine Character … is even purer than the power of the Divine Character Inscriptions!"
The Gui Xie Duke was not angry. Instead, he was delighted. What he felt was the power of the Siphon Divine Character. However, the Siphon Divine Character Long Yu conjured was too weak and could not affect the Gui Xie Duke too much.
However, taking advantage of the Gui Xie Duke's momentary daze, Long Yu suddenly conjured the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda and slammed it towards the incoming Huo Yuanbai!
"Nine Nether Dragon Scale, collect!"
Long Yu mustered all his strength and gritted his teeth, conjuring the Nine Nether Dragon Scale to suck Huo Yuanbai into the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda!
Only then would Huo Yuanbai be able to hold on for a while. Otherwise, he would definitely be killed by the Gui Xie Duke.
At the same time, Huo Yuanbai also sensed Long Yu's intentions. He immediately conjured six shadows, seven identical Huo Yuanbai, and directly slammed into the spatial power emitted by the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
The Gui Xie Duke's attention was momentarily distracted by the Siphon Divine Character. By the time he reacted and wanted to stop it, he had no idea which one was the real Huo Yuanbai!
Or rather, each of the seven shadows could be the real Huo Yuanbai. Unless the Gui Xie Duke blocked all seven shadows, there was no way he could stop Huo Yuanbai from entering the pagoda.
Swoosh!
The Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda stopped moving and the spatial power disappeared. Huo Yuanbai's figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Damn it."
The Gui Xie Duke's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that a moment of carelessness would allow Huo Yuanbai to enter the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
According to his plan, Huo Yuanbai had to die. At the very least, he had to kill him before the Asura Duke arrived. Otherwise, there would be no more chances.
But now, to kill Huo Yuanbai, he had to first destroy the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. This made the Gui Xie Duke's heart ache.
"Since they're hiding in the pagoda, I should be able to kill them if I enter the pagoda. However, a Great Desolate-Grade Warrior is definitely not that simple …"
The Gui Xie Duke's expression darkened. With the Great Desolate-Grade Black-Gold Scythe in his hand, he naturally knew how extraordinary a Great Desolate-Grade Warrior was.
It was too risky to barge into the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. It was not worth it.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The Gui Xie Duke pondered for a moment before stepping into the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. The other Martial Cultivators of the Gui Xie County surrounded the pagoda.
Soon, the Gui Xie Duke flew out from the pagoda, his expression darkening even more.
He found the stairway to the second floor after wandering around the first floor of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. However, he could not break through the Netherworld Qi barrier at the entrance!
In other words, if he wanted to kill Huo Yuanbai now, it would be impossible unless he destroyed the entire Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
No matter how he thought about it, the Gui Xie Duke could not bear to part with a Great Desolate-Grade Warrior.
He wanted to get someone to transport the pagoda back to the depths of the Gui Xie County. That way, he could deal with them and Huo Yuanbai could temporarily pretend that he was dead.
However, on second thought, there was Huo Yuanbai in the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda with seven Divinity realms. Who would be able to transport the pagoda?
Even his subordinate, the seven Divinity realm general who guarded the Nightmare Mountain Range, would not be able to handle Huo Yuanbai!
If Huo Yuanbai managed to escape, it would not be worth it.
In the end, the Gui Xie Duke came to a conclusion. He could either personally send the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda away or destroy it on the spot.
Thinking of the various arrangements he had to make later, he knew that it would be difficult for him to find the time to leave this place. In that case, there was only one way left — to destroy the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
The Gui Xie Duke felt extremely pained at the thought of this. However, for the sake of the overall plan, he had to do this.
"Death God's Scythe, break!"
The Gui Xie Duke was someone who knew when to let go. He immediately waved the great desolate-grade Black-Gold Scythe Battle Weapon and slashed at the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda one after another.
How long would it take for an Emperor-Path Secret Realm expert to destroy the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda with all his might?
Long Yu did not know. He only knew that his only chance of survival now was to wait for the Asura Duke to arrive.
After rescuing Huo Yuanbai to the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda, Long Yu knew that Huo Yuanbai had already sent someone to inform the Asura Duke beforehand. However, he had no idea how long it would take for the Asura Duke to arrive.
Feeling the entire Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda shake violently, Long Yu's expression darkened.
"Long Yu, although you have such a Battle Weapon, it's now in the hands of the Gui Xie Duke."
Huo Yuanbai stood beside Long Yu and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid this pagoda won't be able to hold off the Gui Xie Duke for long! Why don't I head out lest I lose this desolate-grade Battle Weapon? "
A desolate-grade Battle Weapon was a rare existence even in the Tianqin Dynasty. For Emperor-Path Secret Realm experts, it was an extremely precious treasure.
Huo Yuanbai could not bear to let Long Yu lose the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda just like that.
"General Huo, don't be rash. Let's observe the situation first."
Long Yu said before connecting his mind with the entire Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. He could clearly sense which parts of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda were being attacked and which parts were damaged.
If this continued, the entire Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda would not last more than two hours!
Long Yu grit his teeth. Given the current situation, he could only gather all the power in the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda to fight against the Gui Xie Duke.
With a single thought, the power of the Siphon rune and Nine Hells Qi on the seventh level of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda enveloped the entire surface of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda.
The power of the Siphon rune decreased as it was used. However, in order to preserve the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda, Long Yu could not care less.
In order to resist the Gui Xie Duke, he would probably need to use up all the power of the Siphon rune on the seventh level of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda … It was the same for the Nine Hells Qi.
After Long Yu did this, a defensive barrier appeared on the surface of the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda. When the Gui Xie Duke attacked, some of the power was first absorbed by the Siphon rune and then blocked by the Nine Hells Qi barrier!
"Fortunately, I can hold on for a while longer …"
