Envoy Wu's entire body was exposed. He did not seem to be injured at all. He was currently laughing at Mister Hao, mocking him for his ignorance. His previous nervousness and seriousness were all for show.
"Damn it." How could Mister Hao not know that Envoy Wu was purposely putting on a show for him? The veins on his forehead popped out. He was already fuming with rage.
He spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood that slowly floated in front of Mister Hao. His expression turned even uglier. He would not allow himself to be mocked like this. He wanted to walk down an even more glorious path.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He controlled the ball of blood to fuse with the blood mist above. After the blood mist was replenished, it suddenly expanded. The blood light became even more dazzling, and the aura it contained became even stronger.
"Go." Mister Hao commanded the blood mist to surround Envoy Wu again. This time, it surrounded him from the outside, leaving some space in the middle. It did not surround him closely. Envoy Wu's entire body was covered in blood red, making him look abnormally terrifying.
Streaks of blood-red arrows shot out in all directions, trying to surround and kill him.
"You really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. I'll make you completely despair." Envoy Wu commanded the skull to charge forward again.
Suddenly, four beams of green light shot out from the skull's eyes, forming four green nets. The nets were densely packed, leaving very small gaps. In the gaps, there were even smaller green lines. They connected in the air and perfectly covered the Crow Messenger's body.
Those blood-red arrows were directly blocked by the green net. Every time an arrow hit, the green net would flash with a green light, spreading the damage evenly. Although there were many arrows, they couldn't all be concentrated at one point, so they couldn't break through.
Seeing this, Mister Hao revealed a cold smile. As he changed the seals in his hands, a blood-red flame appeared on the arrows that were shot out. When they were blocked by the green nets again, the flames took the opportunity to burn on the green nets.
Although the green nets emitted a burst of light in an attempt to extinguish the flames, these were not ordinary flames. They were made of blood and ignited with Qi. They could not be extinguished at all. In fact, they were slowly absorbing the energy of the green nets, causing them to burn even more vigorously.
Just like that, more and more flames hung on it, burning fiercely on the surface of the green net. It directly formed a red-green net, trapping Envoy Wu inside, constantly wearing down the ghost energy in his body.
As the green net was being worn down, it gradually shrank back bit by bit. Although it was very slow, the blood flames were slowly breaking through this layer of defense.
Messenger Wu regained his expressionless face. His spell was indeed evil, but he wasn't weak either. Compared to being evil, his spell was even more evil.
A puff of pure black gas was spat out from the black mouth and shot towards one of the skulls, directly entering its mouth. The skull began to chew in the void, making cracking sounds as if it had really bitten something.
Blue flames spewed out of its mouth and slowly floated outwards. They also covered the filter and seeped out of the green net, overlapping with the blood flames. The two types of flames began to entangle with each other, both wanting to devour the other to strengthen themselves.
Following this, Messenger Wu opened his fan again and lightly fanned it. A puff of black gas shot into the eyes of another skull.
The green light in the skull's eyes became even brighter, and the light overflowed from the empty eye sockets. It quickly shrank until it was almost impossible to see the green light. Then, the light once again brightened, and after repeating this a few times, it completely stabilized.
The skull turned in the direction of the blood mist, and its head began to spin rapidly. As its eyes flashed, green arrows appeared out of thin air outside the green net. They shot towards the blood arrows from all directions, and they perished together with the other party in midair. The blood flames had no carrier, so they could only float down and burn on the ground.
At that moment, Ding Xiao saw that the two of them were in a deadlock. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that Mister Hao had used up a lot of his energy and wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Now wasn't the time for everyone to attack, and he had more or less recovered. He hurriedly gave orders to the commander before taking out his weapon and rushing up.
When Mister Hao saw Ding Xiao come up, he opened a gap in the blood mist and let Ding Xiao in.
The moment he entered, he saw the situation inside. He immediately unleashed all his aura and slashed at the green net. At that moment, the blood flames were still entangled with the green flames, but the light was already flickering. Clearly, there was no follow-up support and it was about to be defeated.
Ding Xiao's weapon was a silver scimitar. With an arc, he slashed at the weakest spot dozens of times like a flood dragon emerging from the sea. The green net, which was already heavily damaged, couldn't withstand the continuous attacks and dissipated into specks of green light.
Ding Xiao didn't stop at all. He threw the scimitar in his hand and shot it at Messenger Wu. Another scimitar appeared in his hand. It looked like it was a pair.
Messenger Wu dodged to the side and dodged the scimitar's surprise attack. He did not take out anything else but closed his fan and used it as a dagger. He blocked the opponent's scimitar with one hand, appearing to be at ease.
The two of them faced each other and looked at each other's cold and evil face. Ding Xiao had met Deng Wenxuan a few times, but he didn't know where he went. He didn't expect to see him again to find that he was already dead and his body had been taken over.
He wanted to use all his strength to suppress the other party, but even with all his strength, the other party's hand didn't move at all. The other hand was already attacking his chest.
He had no choice but to flip backwards and take a few steps back. Behind the Crow Emissary, a flash of light was silently spinning back. It was the weapon that Ding Xiao had thrown out. After traveling a distance, it actually turned back on its own.
However, Messenger Wu seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He faced Ding Xiao and the fan in his hand flew behind him, blocking the scimitar that was about to hit him. The scimitar was sent flying.
Ding Xiao knew that the person in front of him was a strong opponent. He didn't want to use his little tricks. It was better to attack openly.
He reached out and the scimitar returned to his hand. He felt that the other party's expression was too relaxed, as if he didn't care about them at all. It was as if he was just playing with them.
Ding Xiao suppressed the wavering belief in his heart. It was useless to think about it now. He could only fight to the death. Then, Ding Xiao held the two scimitars and rushed forward again.
In order to prevent Ding Xiao from accidentally injuring him, Sir Hao stopped shooting blood arrows. As the blood fog rolled again, two ferocious puppets flew out from it. They looked like evil spirits.
Their bodies were strong and they held curved long weapons. Their skin was red and there were huge spikes on their backs. Their bodies were covered in a layer of blood fog, only revealing their scarlet eyes. They looked majestic.
As soon as they came out, they went straight for Messenger Wu. Unfortunately, halfway there, they were blocked by the two black skulls. The two puppets didn't hold back and swung their weapons at each other.
The skulls opened their mouths silently, as if they were saying something. A long sword and a shield appeared on both sides of them. Although they were small, black illusions extended around the weapons and shields, as if they were expanding the range of the weapons and shields.
The small shield blocked in front of them, but its defense was unquestionable. It directly blocked their frontal attack. The small sword in its hand started to attack the puppets. Although it didn't have hands, it was still able to control the weapons and shields very flexibly. It fought back and forth with the puppets.
Once the skulls were armed, with better weapons and equipment, they were actually evenly matched with the puppets. No one could do anything to the other.
In detail, the puppets were also at a slight disadvantage. This was because the opponent was very small and very nimble. They flew around and attacked from the side quickly from time to time. Some blood fog spread out, but they weren't greedy and retreated after one attack.
When the puppets wanted to charge at Messenger Wu, the skulls would focus their attacks on his weak points, forcing him to stop and block the opponent's attacks. When the skulls saw the puppets stop, they didn't fight them head-on. Instead, they moved around and attacked.
Sir Hao controlled the puppets to fight the skulls. He watched Ding Xiao and Messenger Wu fight fiercely. The two of them quickly changed positions back and forth. The shadows of the two swords continuously attacked each other. Meanwhile, Messenger Wu was able to exchange blows with Ding Xiao with only a fan.
Up until now, no one had been injured. Neither of them focused on the other.
Mister Hao secretly took out the copper coin again. After some time, the copper coin had regained its previous spirituality and was thrown out. The copper coin borrowed the aura of the blood mist and stealthily arrived diagonally above Envoy Wu. It was hidden in the blood mist and he did not notice it at all.
When the two of them clashed again, Sir Hao saw the opportunity. The copper coin's body suddenly expanded several times. It was like a huge ring. It fell from the sky like lightning. The hole in the middle directly pierced through Messenger Wu's head.
It stopped at his waist. Before he could react, the copper coin's body shrank again. It was stuck at his waist along with his arms. He couldn't move.
Ding Xiao was overjoyed. She took advantage of the moment when the opponent was stuck and slashed with her swords. However, in the next second, the other party had already broken free of the copper coin. Furthermore, it was struck down by a palm and fell to the ground. It couldn't be used again for a short period of time.
However, Ding Xiao had already taken the opportunity to leave dozens of wounds on his body. Especially the two slashes on his chest. They had already cut open his muscles and vaguely revealed his internal organs.
If the other party hadn't dodged in time, he would have been cut in half. Just like that, there were many wounds on his arms, legs, and even his neck. Traces of blood flowed out.
Messenger Wu felt pain all over his body. Large amounts of black fog were wriggling around his mangled wounds, repairing them.
Although these injuries seemed exaggerated, they didn't harm him at all. He didn't lose much of his ability to fight either. This was because he had taken over this body. Even if he was destroyed, he could at most escape again. However, he would lose his strength.
With only a wisp of his soul left, he didn't have much strength. Any enemy could easily crush him. His revenge plan would be ruined.
He saw that Ding Xiao was still looking at him solemnly. The scimitar in her hand was eager to try. She kept sizing him up, wanting to leave more wounds on his body.
The black fog on Messenger Wu's body exploded, forming a huge black ball. It trapped the two of them inside. It also acted as the first layer of defense to prevent a sneak attack.
Right now, he couldn't see Ding Xiao's exact actions. They were only together. Under the cover of the black fog, he couldn't see what was going on. As such, he was stuck and couldn't help him.
Seeing that the black Skeleton was still tangling with him, he steeled his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood, which merged into the snow fog.
This caused Sir Hao's expression to become even more unsightly. Moreover, he couldn't use his blood anymore. Otherwise, he would die before the other party even attacked.
He wouldn't be able to recover from this injury even after 10,000 years. However, he couldn't ask about this right now. While the other party was heavily injured, he had to work together with Ding Xiao to destroy the other party in one go.
At the same time, he signaled for his subordinates to calm down and wait for his signal. Now that the outside was covered by his blood fog, they couldn't attack at all. They had to wait until he withdrew.
However, he was confident that he could work together with Ding Xiao to destroy the other party. Although the other party was very powerful, there were two of them.
At this moment, the blood fog churned again. Four similar evil spirits walked out from it and directly charged at the skeletons. They wanted to get rid of them first before helping Ding Xiao.
This time, the two skeletons were no longer able to stop each other. They couldn't block the attacks coming from all directions. If their bodies weren't tough, they would have been smashed into pieces. Right now, they could only barely hold on. Their mouths kept moving up and down as if they were asking for help.
Just as Sir Hao was about to work harder to destroy them in one go, two black lights rushed out from the black ball and directly entered the skeletons.
"Creak, creak." The two skeletons quickly grew several times bigger than before. Moreover, they were more agile and powerful. Previously, the other party couldn't block two attacks at the same time. Now that three attacks landed on it at the same time, it would only be pushed back a little.
It couldn't be like before, where even the shields were sent flying. Every time, it would take the opportunity to leave attacks on their heads.
But now, he wanted to laugh. The years of forcefully breaking through to help Ding Xiao had been shattered once again. He wanted to forcefully block one of the attacks, but the puppet was almost cut in half. It barely recovered after a large amount of blood fog.
Now, he started to release blood arrows again. However, when they hit the black ball, only the fog churned. Even the blood flames couldn't burn it.
Sir Hao felt that the other party was doing this on purpose. If you were stronger, he would become stronger. He would make you think that as long as you put in more effort, you would succeed. He would make you unconsciously follow his rhythm.
So far, only his surprise attack had succeeded. The others had all been blocked.
Cold sweat kept dripping down his body. He controlled the puppet to attack the skeletons while racking his brain to think of other ways.
Sir Hao was right. Envoy Wu was doing this because he hadn't completely ascended yet. Firstly, he wanted to stall for time. Secondly, he wanted to prevent the other party from falling into despair and perishing together with him.
If the other party self-destructed while hugging him, he would definitely be seriously injured. At that time, not to mention them, even the Shura below would be in trouble. Therefore, he gave them some hope. He kept them hanging and exhausting them. Even if they found out in the end, they wouldn't be able to stop him and he would be able to easily dodge.
Gu Zheng watched from below. Sir Hao's face was red. The sweat on his face was as red as blood. It looked like he couldn't hold on much longer.
Everyone also knew that the battle wasn't going well. However, a layer of blood fog blocked their vision. Everyone could only hear the occasional cry of pain as they fought back and forth. They didn't know who it was.
Gu Zheng was also anxious. He knew that he might not be able to block such an attack. However, it looked like he was in a deadlock with the other party.
If this continued, Sir Hao wouldn't be able to hold on.
After whispering to Pan Xuan, Gu Zheng prepared to go forward and help them. Suddenly, an earth-shattering change happened on the stage.
The blood fog that blocked everyone had completely dissipated. Sir Hao was already half-kneeling on the ground. Blood kept dripping from his mouth.
Ding Xiao directly turned into a diagonal line and flew down from the stage. The aura on his body was faintly discernible.
It happened too quickly. No one could figure out what was going on.
A few Shura hurriedly gave him pills to stabilize his aura. He fainted like Ji Yi. His hands were covered in blood. There was a deep palm print on his chest that was covered in blood. His chest was caved in.
It seemed that Ding Xiao was hit down by the other party's palm. His weapon fell on the stage in mid-air. However, no one dared to pick it up.
How did the situation turn around in an instant? Even Ding Xiao was beaten to the point where it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. How was it possible? Everyone looked up.
Emissary Wu was laughing wildly. The aura on his body kept rising in everyone's eyes. Soon, he broke through the peak of Jin Xian and became an early-stage Zenith Heaven Realm cultivator.
Although the other party had only entered the Zenith Heaven Realm and wasn't stable enough, it wasn't something that they could stop. When he was still at the peak of Jin Xian, he was already at a disadvantage against two people. Now, they were even more helpless.
Gu Zheng only regretted that he didn't go up earlier. However, Sir Hao repeatedly said that he would definitely be able to deal with the other party. He asked him to keep an eye on his people and not let the other party sneak an attack. One must know that the other party could absorb a large amount of energy from the corpses to replenish himself.
Everyone's face turned ashen. They didn't expect that the other party had really advanced into the Zenith Heaven Realm. This time, they were really done for. Now, no one here could be his opponent.
At this time, Sir Hao also reacted. He finally understood the other party's trick.
What was laughable was that they thought that they were infallible and wanted to kill him. They didn't expect that the other party would use them to delay time.
They didn't expect the other party to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm from Jin Xian so quickly. One must know that the energy reserves in his body were massive. Without a long period of meditation, how could he reach the Zenith Heaven Realm?
