Chapter 34: Joining Forces
When Wang Yu clearly saw the gnome’s face, his heart sank.
When the masked youth heard the words "Firebird Li" and "Thousand-Year Wutong Tree," his expression also darkened.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods behind the gnome, and a huge Dirty Bone Fish, six-legged and about ten feet long, crawled out, with an old woman in floral green clothing and gray hair lying on its back.
It was Lady Yin.
At that moment, she lay face down on the back of the huge Dirty Bone Fish, completely still, like a corpse.
Seeing this, Wang Yu’s expression changed again.
"Those who dare to gaze upon the Thousand-Year Wutong Tree shall die!"
The masked youth said each word clearly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he lunged towards the gnome like a crossbow bolt.
"Ha ha, a mere guy who has just formed his Spiritual Root dares to challenge me. Since he is a remnant of the Li family, it is only right that I make a fortune." The little man laughed wildly, slapping his black leather bag at his waist, releasing a cloud of dark energy.
In the swirling dark energy, dozens of Dirty Bone Fish appeared, surrounding the masked youth and attacking him.
The masked youth swung his spear skillfully, blocking each of the Dirty Bone Fish that came at him.
Wang Yu watched the fierce battle and looked at Lady Yin on the back of the gigantic Dirty Bone Fish, his expression changing rapidly.
"Kid, since you know about the remnants of the Li family, you might as well leave your life too," the little man said casually, glancing at Wang Yu.
Then he shook his arms, and two golden rings flew into the air, transforming into golden lights that rushed toward Wang Yu and the masked youth, while he quickly formed hand seals and chanted words.
"Bang!"
Wang Yu instinctively raised his iron shield, and the next moment, he felt a dull thud as his body shook and his feet sank deeply into the ground.
He felt a rush of fear and slashed out with his knife, but his strike missed.
The golden ring spun quickly and flew behind him, striking down hard once again.
With no other choice, Wang Yu could only pull the iron shield behind him.
"Bang!"
With another loud thud, he stumbled and took two steps forward, but his long knife swung backward and missed again.
The golden ring flew around endlessly, moving like a living thing, crazily attacking Wang Yu from all sides, and each strike carried great strength.
In just a few breaths, it had knocked Wang Yu this way and that, leaving him only able to dodge without the strength to fight back.
If it weren’t for his body being much stronger than a normal person’s, and his quick reflexes in super mode, he might have been turned into meat paste in just a few hits.
This was the "Artifact Controlling Technique" mentioned in Taoist Chongyun’s notes, a deadly skill that only cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining could master!
In a mix of shock and anger, Wang Yu quickly glanced over at the masked young man.
Over there, dark clouds rolled, completely engulfing the masked young man, while a golden ring appeared and vanished, darting left and right within them.
The sounds of "bang bang" collisions and the sharp cries of the Dirty Bone Fish arose in a continuous wave, echoing endlessly.
Wang Yu took a cold breath.
The situation of this "Li family descendant" was much worse than his own.
Fortunately, at this moment, the dwarf seemed to be completely focused on controlling the two golden rings, remaining still, without even having the time to distract himself to urge the Giant Dirty Bone Fish to join the attack.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu’s mind raced at lightning speed, but before he could react, the masked young man suddenly shouted:
"Fire!"
With a "poof,"
A burst of flames shot up into the sky from the dark clouds. A huge fire python could be seen wildly dancing, sweeping away the surrounding darkness in an instant, while dozens of Dirty Bone Fish turned into faint smoke in the flames.
After being hit hard by the fire python, the golden ring flew back several yards.
The fire python then twisted its body and rushed toward the dwarf, with a masked young man faintly visible behind it.
Wang Yu was momentarily stunned, then focused intently and realized that it was not a fire python, but clearly the earlier crimson long spear, which was now enveloped in flames, looking like a weapon of gods and demons.
The masked young man held the spear with both hands, surrounded by a layer of flames, after a few twists, he dashed in front of the dwarf, wildly swinging the fiery long spear.
Great waves of flames surged out, instantly engulfing the dwarf, while nearby the fire blazed high into the sky, and the temperature rose dramatically.
The long spear in the masked young man’s hands kept moving, but beads of sweat were faintly visible on his forehead, indicating that he was struggling greatly.
"Is this all the legendary Li family’s firebird bloodline can do? You really disappoint me."
Suddenly, a mocking voice from the dwarf came out amidst the flames.
In the next moment, thick black gas emerged from the center of the flames, towering several yards high, extinguishing the flames in its path, and instantly leaving no trace of fire behind.
With one hand forming a spell and the other holding a black leather bag, the figure of the little man slowly appeared from the black mist.
The black leather bag was continuously spitting out thick black smoke.
"A mere rogue cultivator dares to underestimate the Li family’s bloodline!" The masked young man turned pale and wanted to say more, but suddenly spat out a spray of blood, and the flames on his spear quickly vanished.
Seeing this, the little man let out a chuckle and was about to move his magical item to take down the masked young man when he suddenly heard a whimpering sound.
In the next moment, a streak of black light rushed from afar, and with a blur, it collided with a fierce wind right in front of him.
"Looking for death."
Anger appeared on the little man’s face as he intensified the spell in his hand, causing the surrounding black mist to roll toward him and condense into a giant hand the size of a water tank, which snatched the black light.
"Boom!"
The black hand shattered, turning into swirling mist, but the black light shook a few times before being forcefully blocked by the other black mist, stopping right in front of the little man, revealing its true form.
Suddenly, there was a small iron shield!
It was Wang Yu who, after feeling the frantic attack of the golden ring, threw the iron shield with all his strength without thinking.
At that moment, he saw the iron shield being easily blocked by the dwarf, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly stepped back and grabbed the slowly rotating golden ring that came close.
"Buzzing."
The golden ring in his hand seemed to move wildly like a living creature, swinging to the left and right.
But Wang Yu let out a low growl, his arms becoming two sizes bigger as he gripped the golden ring, shattering his entire sleeve and revealing his bare arm covered in veins.
The golden ring, which could still move before, was now firmly held in his palm by his immense strength, only trembling slightly in frustration, unable to move freely anymore.
"Dare to touch my magical artifact."
The dwarf in the distance saw this and became instantly furious. He shook a black leather pouch in his hand, ready to trigger something.
But just then, the masked young man glared at the dwarf, suddenly tearing off the mask from his face, revealing a vivid tattoo of a firebird.
"Fire Phoenix Spreads Across the Land"
The masked young man’s voice suddenly became very hoarse, but the words he spoke were incredibly cold.
