Zou Li did not know that Long Yu possessed the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, so when he led Yang Guan and Yang Kong to intercept Huo Yuanbai, he immediately thought that victory was in his grasp.
As long as he 'accidentally' killed Huo Yuanbai now, even the Shura County Lord would not be able to do anything to him!
However, he did not know that Huo Yuanbai, Long Yu, and Ren Pingfan were looking at him as if they were watching a joke.
"Zou Li, you keep saying that I am a traitor and betrayed Shura County. What proof do you have?"
Huo Yuanbai said indifferently. "If you have proof, then wait for the Regional King to return and let him decide. I'm afraid it is against the rules for you to bring people from Lieyang County to deal with me."
"You are a traitor. What rules do we need to follow in order to capture you?"
Deputy General Zou Li said coldly. "After we capture you, we will naturally hand you over to the Regional King!"
Although he said that, he was thinking that if they fought later, all he needed to do was' accidentally 'and he would be able to finish off Huo Yuanbai.
Even if Huo Yuanbai surrendered, Zou Li would never wait for the Shura County Lord to return. Instead, he would make up an excuse, such as saying that Huo Yuanbai dared to launch a sneak attack after they captured him and then kill him …
No matter what, Huo Yuanbai was already a dead man in Deputy General Zou Li's eyes.
As for Ren Pingfan and Long Yu behind Huo Yuanbai, they were even less of a threat to Ren Pingfan. Two mere juniors would not be of any use in this situation.
Unfortunately, Zou Li's estimation of Long Yu was wrong.
"This time, a traitor has appeared in our Asura County. We've truly let the two of you laugh at us. Now, I hope that the two of you can help us capture this traitor. When the County King arrives, he will definitely thank you!"
Zou Li said respectfully to Yang Guan and Yang Kong.
"Alright, let's cut the nonsense. Let's capture this traitor first."
Yang Guan and Yang Kong looked at each other and saw the killing intent in each other's eyes. They knew that this time, they were determined to kill Huo Yuanbai.
Huo Yuanbai was Asura County's most important general of the Nightmare Legion. He was extremely important to Asura County. If they killed Huo Yuanbai for no reason, the two of them wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
But now, with Zou Li and the Zou family's support in Shura County, the matter of Huo Yuanbai being a traitor was already settled. Even if they killed Huo Yuanbai, with the support of Lieyang County, nothing would happen to them.
"Go!"
Yang Guan and Yang Kong, two Seven Paths Divinity realm cultivators dressed in fiery red robes, charged at Huo Yuanbai from both sides!
"General Huo, Brother Fatty, come in."
Without any hesitation, Long Yu released the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower and used the spatial power of the Dragon Scale of the Nine Underworlds to store himself, Huo Yuanbai, and Ren Pingfan into the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower.
Then, the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda expanded rapidly, and soon became a huge ancient pagoda that sat in the middle of the army camp. Then, it slowly floated up.
"Hiding in this War Weapon?"
Deputy General Zou Li's expression changed slightly, then he sneered, "How can a mere Human Tribulation realm kid unleash the power of this War Weapon? Brothers, please use your full strength and blast this ancient pagoda apart. I'd like to see where that traitor can run to! "
Yang Kong and Yang Guan saw the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda rise up and emit an extremely ancient aura, causing greed to appear in their eyes.
"Looks like that kid called Mountain Ghost has a lot of good stuff. After killing him, we'll have to plunder him."
The two of them had the same thought at almost the same time. Then, they each condensed the power of some kind of fiery divine text in their hands. Without a doubt, these two were powerful martial cultivators who had obtained the inscriptions of the divine text.
The power of the fiery divine text instantly condensed into two fiery whips that smashed towards the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda.
Pfft!
The fiery whips smashed into the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda, but were met with the Siphon Divine Text that Long Yu had prepared. In an instant, the power of the two whips was completely absorbed, extinguishing them.
"Hmm? Looks like this ancient pagoda isn't ordinary! "
Yang Guan and Yang Kong's expressions changed slightly. Then, the power of the fiery divine text around them intensified, and they prepared to use their Connate Mystiques to deal with the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda.
Yang Guan, who was slightly older, raised his hand, and flames condensed in his hand, transforming into a fire dragon. "Heavenly Fire Dragon!"
The Heavenly Fire Dragon was one of the Connate Mystiques that Yang Guan had comprehended. It could transform the power of the fiery divine text into a Heavenly Fire Dragon that was wrapped in flames and charged towards its target. It also possessed a certain level of spirituality and knew how to fight on its own.
The other person, Yang Kong, wrapped the power of the fiery divine text around his hand, and with a wave of his hand, formed a fire wolf. "Connate Mystique, Brutal Flame Fang!"
This fire wolf was one of Yang Kong's Connate Mystiques. The summoned fire wolf's combat power was not much weaker than his own.
Under such circumstances, they felt that the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda was rather difficult to deal with. Therefore, they both used similar summoning spirit Mystiques to fight for them and attack the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda, thereby conserving their own strength.
After all, they were wary of Huo Yuanbai, who was also a Seven Daos Mystique expert. Although they were fighting two against one, they wouldn't have much confidence if they expended too much of their strength.
The Heavenly Fire Dragon and the Brutal Flame Fang, two fire spirits formed from Connate Mystiques, lunged at the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda. Their destructive power was extremely terrifying, and even the dense forest in the surroundings was set ablaze.
The forest in the Nightmare Mountains burned, but the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda remained unmoved under the attacks of the two fire spirits. It continued to fly into the sky, and before long, it had already flown hundreds of meters into the sky.
Deputy General Zou Li watched as Yang Guan and Yang Kong attacked. He had originally been overjoyed that the plan he had prepared for a long time was finally about to succeed. However, his expression changed when he saw that the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda remained unscathed in the hands of the two brothers.
If they couldn't kill Huo Yuanbai here, all their efforts would have been for naught!
If he confronted Huo Yuanbai in front of the Duke of Asura, he would definitely be the one to give himself away, not Huo Yuanbai. In other words, if he couldn't kill Huo Yuanbai, he would have to leave Asura Prefecture immediately.
"Wait a little longer. That Human Tribulation brat's Battle Weapon can't be so tough. It can actually withstand the attacks of seven Daos Mystique experts …"
Deputy General Zou Li's eyes were extremely cold. He watched as the Heavenly Fire Dragon and the Brutal Fire Fang, the two fire spirits, continuously attacked the dragon skeleton tower, even causing the entire tower to turn red from the heat. However, they were unable to break through the dragon skeleton tower's body and destroy it.
"Hehe, even the Duke of Ghost Evil can't deal with this ancient pagoda. How can these two fellows who play with fire do it?"
Inside the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda, Ren Pingfan chuckled as he listened to Long Yu's description of the situation. "Little Brother Long, this ancient pagoda of yours is really good stuff. If it wasn't for this ancient pagoda, wouldn't you have lost a few more lives?"
"More or less."
Long Yu nodded with a smile.
Indeed, the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda had saved him many times. Ever since he went to the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda and participated in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, the ancient pagoda had been of great help to him. Not only had it helped him comprehend the laws of the Underworld, but it had also saved his life many times.
To Long Yu, the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda was now one of his most important Battle Weapons. Of course, another equally important Battle Weapon was the Nether Dragon Blade.
Although the Nether Dragon Blade didn't seem to be as useful as the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda at the moment, as long as Long Yu's martial arts realm improved by a few levels, the terrifying power of the Nether Dragon Blade would be completely revealed.
Yang Guan and Yang Kong unleashed all sorts of techniques from outside. The violent power of the Divine Flame Runes, coupled with their Innate Mystique, almost turned the entire army camp below into ashes.
In the surrounding mountains, the fire spread rapidly. The members of the Nightmare Army in the camp scattered to take refuge and continuously extinguished the flames in the mountains.
Fortunately, there were many martial arts practitioners who had comprehended the laws of heaven and earth of the water element or Divine Runes of the ice element. It wasn't difficult for them to extinguish the mountain fire. Of course, it was impossible for them to resist the Innate Mystique of Yang Guan and Yang Kong head-on.
The mountain fire was already wreaking havoc, let alone the power of the flames that the entire Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda had to endure.
However, no matter how Yang Guan and Yang Kong burned, the entire Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda remained undamaged. It just floated in the air, unmoving!
This caused Yang Guan and Yang Kong's expressions to gradually turn extremely ugly. Deputy General Zou Li, who was watching the battle from the side, also had an ugly expression.
"It's about time. We should leave. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late."
Zou Li's expression was frighteningly gloomy. He realized that he had completely underestimated the Human Tribulation Realm kid. He had originally thought that the kid wouldn't be a threat to his plan, but he didn't expect the kid's ancient pagoda Battle Weapon to be as hard as a tortoise's shell!
Two Seven Divine Realms experts couldn't even break the ancient pagoda. It was simply hopeless.
If they dragged on any longer, the Asura Prefecture King would definitely return soon. By then, the Asura Prefecture King would definitely force him to confront Huo Yuanbai. If that happened, he would definitely die.
"If that's the case, let's go. Zou Li, with your cultivation, you'll definitely be treated extremely well when you arrive at Lieyang County. You won't have to worry about your future."
Yang Guan said to Zou Li before turning around to leave.
Although he found it a pity that he couldn't help Zou Li successfully become the general of the Nightmare Army, it was still a good thing that he could force Zou Li to join his Lieyang County.
It was just a pity that he could obtain the majestic ancient pagoda Battle Weapon …
Yang Guan and Yang Kong took one last look at the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda before leaving with Deputy General Zou Li. It was obvious that they wanted to avoid the Asura Prefecture King and return to Lieyang County.
However, how could Long Yu just watch them escape?
"General Huo, it's your turn to stop them!"
Long Yu said to Huo Yuanbai, his eyes sparkling.
Yang Guan and Yang Kong had expended too much energy trying to break open the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Pagoda. Now that they were in a hurry to escape, they definitely wouldn't dare to get entangled with Huo Yuanbai.
