When Yang Guan and Yang Kong turned to flee, Huo Yuanbai took the initiative to attack. At the same time, Long Yu activated the Dragon Bone Pagoda to assist from the side.
This scene astonished the Nightmare Army's Martial Cultivators in the army camp below.
Their Deputy General Zou Li had originally brought people to capture Huo Yuanbai, but why did he seem to be afraid now and wanted to flee?
Even if he couldn't break through the ancient pagoda, he shouldn't have to flee, right? As long as the Asura Duke arrived, the ancient pagoda wouldn't be able to hold out.
The only possibility was that Huo Yuanbai hadn't truly betrayed Asura Prefecture. Everything had been fabricated by Zou Li. If that was the case, Zou Li would naturally be afraid of meeting the Asura Duke.
At this thought, the spectating Martial Cultivators were somewhat comforted. General Huo Yuanbai was their spiritual pillar. If even General Huo Yuanbai had betrayed Asura Prefecture and joined the Ghost Evil Prefecture, they probably wouldn't believe that there was anyone in this world who was absolutely loyal.
Huo Yuanbai took the initiative to attack with his Connate Magic. An earth-shattering war drum appeared behind him and sounded, causing his aura to rise to a new level.
With this war drum, Huo Yuanbai's strength had increased by at least thirty percent.
This was the innate magical power that Huo Yuanbai, as the general of the Nightmare Legion, relied on the most. When the Startling War Drum was beaten, it could make the Xuan Qi in the entire legion boil and increase their combat power by at least thirty percent.
At this moment, Huo Yuanbai wanted to hold back the three of them on his own. Naturally, he couldn't hide his strength anymore. He used all of it in one move.
"Galaxy Spirit!"
As the Xuan Qi in Huo Yuanbai's body boiled, the power of the divine characters burst out, forming a destructive current that cut off the path of Yang Guan, Yang Kong, and Zou Li.
If the three of them continued forward, they would be hit by the Galaxy-Piercing Aura head-on. They had just attacked the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower and expended too much of their strength. At this moment, it was not a good choice to take the Galaxy-Piercing Aura head-on.
Thus, the three stopped.
Zou Li turned his head viciously. "Old Huo, don't think that we're afraid of you. If you continue to pester us, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"If you want to fight, just come at me."
A smile appeared on Huo Yuanbai's face. To Zou Li, that expression was asking for a beating.
You want to fight?
We have the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. If we can't beat them, we can just hide inside. What can you do to us?
As for you, don't even think about running away!
Zou Li glared at Huo Yuanbai's shameless appearance, his eyes almost spitting fire. They were now stuck here, but Yang Guan and Yang Kong were fine. The Asura Duke couldn't do anything to them.
But if the Asura Duke were to return and figure out the entire matter, then he, Zou Li, would be dead for sure.
In such a situation, Yang Guan and Yang Kong would not help him. They had helped him because they could benefit from it, but now that the plan to kill Huo Yuanbai had failed, their efforts were in vain, and they did not get any benefits.
"Let's go. Charge out. A mere old man wants to stop us? Wishful thinking."
Deputy General Zou Li was burly, but he only had the strength of five divine-realm. There was nothing he could do against Huo Yuanbai's obstruction, so he could only rely on Yang Kong and Yang Guan.
However, the two looked at the horizon and shook their heads. "It's too late. Even without Huo Yuanbai's obstruction, it won't be difficult for the Asura Duke to catch up to us. Not to mention, Huo Yuanbai is at his peak, while we've exhausted a lot of our strength. It'll be too difficult to break through his blockade."
Yang Guan and Yang Kong could feel the Asura Duke's presence nearby. It was too late to escape now.
Zou Li's face paled. "Too late? How is that possible! "
Madness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Huo Yuanbai. "Old Huo, let me go, and this supreme Heaven Grade War Flag Combat Weapon is yours!"
He took out a red war flag from his Space Weapon. It looked as if it had been dyed red with blood, emitting a thick stench of blood.
"The Blood Shadow War Flag, supreme Heaven Grade. It's the best Combat Weapon you have."
Huo Yuanbai shook his head and smiled. "However, let the Duke distribute this Combat Weapon himself when he returns. I don't lack a supreme Heaven Grade Combat Weapon."
His words made Zou Li's heart drop to the bottom.
"General Huo, we're only following orders. Please forgive us. However, I hope we can bring this Zou Li back to Lieyang County. We'll repay you handsomely in the future."
Yang Guan, a martial practitioner from Lieyang County, looked at Huo Yuanbai and said calmly.
"You wanted to kill me just a moment ago, and now you're negotiating with me? What a joke."
Huo Yuanbai shook his head. "I only have one thing to say. When the Asura Duke returns, everything will be dealt with fairly!"
Looking at Huo Yuanbai's stubbornness, Zou Li and the other two's faces darkened completely. Looking at the rolling dark clouds not far away and the earth-shattering aura getting closer, the three of them almost fell into despair.
"General Huo, if that's the case, we'll take our leave now. Feel free to visit Lieyang County in the future. Brother, let's go. "
Yang Guan said as he gave his younger brother Yang Kong a look. Then, the two turned around and prepared to leave without bringing Deputy General Zou Li with them.
The Asura Duke was an extremely tyrannical person. Even if they were from Lieyang County, would the Asura Duke let them off so easily after doing something detrimental to Shura County?
Since they couldn't bring Zou Li with them, they'd better leave on their own!
Deputy General Zou Li's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. "You two, you've taken so much money from me, and now you want to leave? Do you think it'll be that easy?"
With that, Zou Li's figure flashed and he appeared behind the two, blocking their way. "You want to leave? You'll have to get past me! General Huo, I, Zou Li, have lost, so I won't think too much about it. It's just that these two didn't do anything after taking the deposit. We can't let them get away! "
Huo Yuanbai couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he saw Zou Li's actions. These three had turned against each other in the end.
Fine, Huo Yuanbai didn't want any of them to get away.
Connate mystique, Galactic Spirit.
A strong current of air burst out and blocked Yang Guan and Yang Kong's path of retreat. "You want to leave? Wait until the Duke is here."
Yang Guan and Yang Kong's faces turned green …
Long Yu, who was inside the Dragon Bone Tower, let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The Asura Duke was rushing back and would be here soon. Yang Guan, Yang Kong, and Zou Li wouldn't be able to do anything in such a short time.
The whole matter was finally resolved. Long Yu had played a very important role in this process. Most importantly, his Dragon Bone Tower had protected Huo Yuanbai several times.
Hong long long, black clouds gathered in the sky as a black-robed King descended from the sky with a boundless aura.
Under the Asura Duke's endless aura, Zou Li, Yang Guan, and Yang Kong had no chance of escaping!
"The Duke of Ghost Evil was seriously injured by me and Concubine Mirror. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in the next ten years."
The Asura Duke descended. Black clouds covered the sky and thunder rumbled. Just one sentence from him was enough to show that Duke Gui Xie had been severely injured, causing Yang Guan and Yang Kong's hearts to shiver.
The Duke of Ghost Evil was injured. Ghost Evil County would definitely be weakened. The Nightmare Mountains would probably have to give way.
That way, Asura County would be even more powerful. Lieyang County would probably be affected as well!
"Lil 'Huo, you did well this time. You will be rewarded according to your contributions. No need to say more."
The Asura Duke's figure descended, and it didn't take long for him to hover not too far away from the crowd. Black clouds billowed around his body, making him look like a demon king that had just emerged from the depths of hell.
Within the black clouds, one could faintly see the black robe he wore, as well as a pair of bright and sharp eyes.
"Zou Li betrayed Shura County and worked with the Duke of Ghost Evil to frame General Huo Yuanbai. His crimes cannot be redeemed. Death!"
The Asura Duke's words made the burly Deputy General Zou Li's face turn ashen.
"Lord Duke, please don't! Our Zou Family has been loyal for generations. Even if I made a mistake this time, I should have a chance to make it up to you …"
However, before he could finish speaking, an Asura light blade slashed down from above, instantly splitting his body in half. Then, the power of Asura divine runes spread out, enveloping his entire body. With a loud bang, he was reduced to ashes in the wind.
"You two, why are you still here?"
The Asura Duke coldly snorted at Yang Guan and Yang Kong.
Yang Guan and Yang Kong were originally trembling with fear, afraid that the Asura Duke would kill them in a fit of anger. But now, hearing this, they were overjoyed.
"The Asura Duke is magnanimous!"
The two of them cheered and flew away. Their speed was so fast that even Huo Yuanbai couldn't help but gasp in amazement. Sure enough, in order to escape, one could stimulate their potential.
"Alright, where is that brat Long Yu now?"
After Yang Guan and Yang Kong left, the Asura Duke's voice softened. There was a hint of a smile on his face as he looked at Huo Yuanbai.
"Duke, he is in the ancient pagoda."
Huo Yuanbai smiled and said, "If it wasn't for Little Brother Long's ancient pagoda, this old man would have died a long time ago, haha."
"Not bad, this Duke saw it all."
The Asura Duke nodded in satisfaction. The rolling black clouds finally began to dissipate, revealing his true form in a black robe.
At this time, Long Yu naturally didn't need to hide in the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda anymore. He immediately put away the Dragon Bone Ancient Pagoda and flew to Huo Yuanbai's side with Ren Pingfan.
Long Yu looked ahead and saw a young man in a black robe walking over with a smile. From the rolling black clouds that had yet to dissipate, this person was the Asura Duke.
Seeing the Asura Duke's face, Long Yu couldn't help but be stunned. This Asura Duke looked so young, only in his twenties!
"Long Yu, you were brought out by this Duke's daughter. I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
