Gu Ye

Chapter 1068 Utterly Unlucky

Ge Zhou suddenly unleashed his aura, concentrating it onto his long sword, and let out a low roar, "Waist Slash!"

Four sword energies instantly slashed outwards.

The Minshan Ghost Immortal sensed the extraordinary nature of these sword energies and blurted out, "Dodge!"

Shi Bingzhi and Old Man You immediately scattered and fled.

Whoosh!

The sword energies extended for several meters, bisecting everything in their path.

Yu Daohen, with a face full of astonishment, exclaimed, "Holy crap, Ge Ye, your Waist Slash is pretty powerful."

Sweat beaded on Ge Zhou's forehead as he panted, replying gruffly, "Nonsense, it's a ultimate move, of course it's effective!"

The grand hall began to collapse.

"Go!"

As soon as Chen Guojun spoke, he bolted towards the exit.

Seeing the old scoundrel fleeing so quickly, Yu Daohen couldn't help but curse inwardly.

As expected, when danger arises, this old fellow is always the first to run.

Yu Daohen, not to be outdone, also took off running.

"Holy crap, wait for me, you two," Ge Zhou grumbled.

His legs were still a bit sluggish after unleashing his ultimate move.

Bursting outside, because Yu Daohen and Chen Guojun had been messing around earlier,

they had kicked torches onto the wooden roof, and the surroundings had now become a sea of flames.

At the same time, the Minshan Ghost Immortal and his two companions had rushed out of the hall.

Seeing them emerge, Chen Guojun no longer held back, flicking his sleeves to unleash countless蛊虫 (gu worms) towards the trio.

Yu Daohen felt contempt.

I knew this old scoundrel still had some life-saving tricks up his sleeve.

But with so many蛊虫, how did this old fellow hide them inside his clothes?

Chen Guojun knew what Yu Daohen was thinking and said, "I know you have a move called Golden Dragon, kid. Use it quickly, or we'll all perish here today."

Yu Daohen no longer concealed his abilities, immediately gathering power in his palm and slamming it onto the ground.

The Golden Dragon appeared, and the Minshan Ghost Immortal shouted, "They're trying to escape!"

Shi Bingzhi and Old Man You quickly eliminated the蛊虫 in front of them and rushed to intercept.

Seeing this, Chen Guojun waved his hand, unleashing the last of his蛊虫 to block the trio's advance.

If not now, then when?

Yu Daohen jumped onto the Golden Dragon without a word.

Ge Zhou followed suit upon seeing this.

As they leaped onto the Golden Dragon, Yu Daohen waved his hand and said, "Go!"

The Golden Dragon immediately shot off. Chen Guojun was stunned, then burst into a stream of curses, "You damn…!"

Before he could finish, Ge Zhou suddenly extended his hand.

Chen Guojun grabbed the outstretched hand, and Ge Zhou pulled him up.

The three behind them, seeing Yu Daohen and the others escape, were filled with indignation at the missed opportunity.

Chen Guojun, bringing up the rear, grumbled, "Yu Daohen, that's not very considerate of you."

Yu Daohen, atop the dragon's head, chuckled, "What do you mean? Ge Zhou and I had already planned it; he'd pull you up."

"Huh?"

Ge Zhou looked bewildered, then nodded noncommittally.

"Crawl down!"

Yu Daohen suddenly shouted and then crawled down himself.

Seeing the Golden Dragon enter the cave, Ge Zhou immediately lowered himself.

Chen Guojun, still angry, but seeing the cave entrance ahead, instinctively lowered himself as well.

Chen Guojun could clearly feel that his head was less than a centimeter from the cave ceiling at that moment.

Just a tiny bit more, and his old life would have ended there today.

"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"

Chen Guojun gasped for breath, terrified.

Good heavens, at his age, he still had to go along with these two youngsters' madness.

Are all young people this crazy nowadays?

Ahead, Ge Zhou, crawling along the dragon's body, regretted taking on this mission with Yu Daohen.

He dared to guarantee that this would be the last mission he'd undertake with Yu Daohen!

Upon reaching the outside of the cave, Ge Zhou and Chen Guojun both let out a sigh of relief.

They had finally escaped.

This mission was also declared a failure.

The bad news was that Shen Fengqing had acquired another compass.

The pressure on the entire martial world would now be immense.

Is there truly any hope left for this world?

Meanwhile, Yu Daohen, atop the dragon's head, remained silent.

Shi Bingzhi… Shi Bingzhi… is this world truly worth you doing this?

Whoosh!

A fireball suddenly streaked towards them.

Ge Zhou, with quick reflexes, drew his sword and slashed.

The fireball split in two, and the three of them simultaneously looked down.

They saw Shen Fengqing returning with Old Man Zuo and others, and behind them were over ten Ghost Kings.

"What is this!" Ge Zhou exclaimed in shock.

Chen Guojun's face also turned grim.

Yu Daohen couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I must not have checked the almanac before leaving today."

On the ground, Shen Fengqing looked up at the Golden Dragon in the sky, a smile playing on his lips, "It's perfect timing. Attack them!"

Everyone simultaneously unleashed their spells, bombarding the Golden Dragon in the sky.

Yu Daohen sneered disdainfully and immediately controlled the Golden Dragon to ascend.

Do these spells really think they can match my speed?

You're only fit to eat my dragon's dust!

Rumble~

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky.

Yu Daohen's face was filled with disbelief, "It can't be this unlucky, can it?"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

Ge Zhou couldn't help but ask, "We're flying this high, we shouldn't get struck, right?"

Chen Guojun was also perplexed.

The weather had been fine before they set off; why was there suddenly lightning and thunder?

Yu Daohen swallowed, a sense of panic rising within him.

This lightning was definitely going to hit him.

Don't ask how he knew; it was because the lightning was coming straight for him.

Rumble!

Lightning struck instantly. Yu Daohen raised his hand, condensing the Earth Kun Hand to meet the descending lightning.

Bang!

The lightning did not harm Yu Daohen at all, but the Golden Dragon could not withstand it and slowed down.

"My damned jinx!" Ge Zhou cursed.

Yu Daohen looked back at Ge Zhou and Chen Guojun, his face filled with bitterness, "Gentlemen, if my estimation is correct, we might need to prepare for a parachute jump soon."

Chen Guojun looked down at the thousand-meter drop, swallowed, his body visibly trembling with fear, "Yu Daohen, you can't joke about this."

As soon as he spoke, another bolt of lightning struck.

Rumble!

Yu Daohen also raised his hand to catch it, but the protective barrier on his hand had vanished.

The Golden Dragon was also nearing its limit.

Below, Shen Fengqing saw this and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, heaven is truly helping me."

Ge Zhou and Chen Guojun felt fortunate that these two lightning strikes only hit that guy.

Chen Guojun felt indignant.

Serves him right!

This kid has been showing off for more than a day; it's about time he gets struck dead.

But the next second, he already regretted it.

In the sky above, a visible bolt of lightning was gathering power.

"Holy crap, no way!" Yu Daohen also found it hard to believe.

Is this last bolt of lightning this powerful?

"Down… down… down… down…"

"Down… down… down… down…"

Chen Guojun and Ge Zhou exclaimed in unison, terrified.

If this bolt of lightning struck, not to mention souls scattering, they'd at least be thoroughly cooked.

Yu Daohen then looked at Shen Fengqing, who was laughing heartily below, a flash of inspiration crossing his face, a smile appearing on his lips, "Hold on tight, gentlemen, we're going to break through."

As soon as he spoke, Yu Daohen controlled the Golden Dragon and charged fiercely towards Shen Fengqing.
