Chapter 995: Fighting Violence with Violence
The Gu Corpse is a corpse controlled by the Gu, naturally unafraid of being harmed by sharp weapons.
Actually, when Xiao Hu mentioned he could restrain this Gu Corpse, Liu Zixuan was somewhat skeptical.
But now, with a strategy to lure away the tiger from the mountain and specifically target him, he could only let Xiao Hu try and see to what terrifying extent Xiao Hu had reached!
After using the Nether Spirit Needle to protect him from poison, Xiao Hu directly swung an iron hammer and attacked the Gu Corpse.
As the iron hammer lifted, the gust of wind rushed like a fierce tiger descending, mixed with terrifying force, it directly hammered onto the Gu Corpse.
Under Liu Zixuan’s X-ray Vision, with every heavy blow, the Gu Corpse would emit some poisonous gas, which made him quietly thankful he helped Xiao Hu seal the meridians to make him immune to poison; otherwise, their newly found general would have been wasted.
Bam!
Bam!
Hammer after hammer fell, Xiao Hu’s expression was calm, looking fearless, and after two hammers, the Gu Corpse’s arm had been completely shattered!
Then came another round of flying hammers, accompanied by the sound of cracking bones after a series of bam, bam, bam.
Approximately three or four minutes later, the Gu Corpse could no longer stand, emitting only poisonous gas without any attack power left!
Liu Zixuan murmured in astonishment, "So your so-called restraint was to smash it into a pile of rotten flesh!"
Xiao Hu stepped back two steps, "Our Golden Stone Race family has encountered such guys before; either neutralizing violence with violence or using special flames to burn them to ashes, there is no other way."
He then looked at Liu Zixuan, "Now it’s all poisoned; you’ll have to take over."
"No rush, let Lianyi handle it later."
With a flick of his fingers, two Silver Needles appeared, forming a small Binding Array, directly trapping the Gu Corpse in place.
"Alright, let’s go inside first and talk when they come back."
Xiao Hu glanced at Liu Zixuan in surprise, "I didn’t expect your mastery of arrays to be so profound, so easily setting one up!"
"That’s why having you follow me won’t be a loss!" Liu Zixuan shrugged.
Xiao Hu rolled his eyes and immediately clasped his hands to Liu Zixuan, "Merely from dealing with this Gu Corpse evil, it proves you’re on the righteous side. From now on, I, Xiao Hu, shall follow you!"
Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "Don’t make it so formal; everyone with me, Liu Zixuan, is a brother, without distinction between who is the boss or a subordinate. As I said, if you’re not familiar with the city life, you can stay here temporarily. If you find somewhere better later, I won’t stop you!"
Dealing with the evil Gu Corpse was enough to prove Liu Zixuan’s righteousness!
Treating those around him without imperial selfishness, yet calling them brothers, proves him as a man of great loyalty.
With such loyalty and righteousness, how could Xiao Hu not trust him!
Along with Liu Zixuan, they went upstairs into the meeting room, and before long, Zhao Yi, Ye Lianyi, and Xiaobin all walked in.
"This is Xiao Hu, thanks to whom Zhao Yi and I could easily enter and leave the Seven-Star Tomb." Liu Zixuan then introduced everyone to Xiao Hu.
After everyone got to know each other, they all sat down.
Ye Lianyi frowned, "The Celestial Dao Alliance divided their forces to lure us out and then let Venerable Ghost Nether’s Gu Corpse in to target you. It seems they cooperated."
"That was within expectations; the Celestial Dao Alliance must have known our side has grown stronger, previously thinking we had a powerful backing, so they dared not come easily. Naturally, they found some helpers, and now in the Martial Realm, only Venerable Ghost Nether has aligned interests with them."
Liu Zixuan grinned, "But today’s matter might have slapped their face. For one thing, Xiao Hu appearing as a new face, they must think Xiao Hu was sent by our backing, so they’re even more afraid to act rashly."
"Also, I wonder how Huzi and Yunxuan are doing!" Zhao Yi muttered.
Liu Zixuan smiled at Xiaobin, "How’s Huzi doing?"
Xiaobin smiled, "He searched the entire big mountain, entered all the caves, and finally disappeared in one cave. People we sent secretly to investigate found that Master Hu might’ve fought fiercely with something underground, but he’s not in life-threatening danger."
"Then he should be coming back soon!" Liu Zixuan nodded.
Zhao Yi raised his head, astonished, "So you secretly sent people there?"
Liu Zixuan took a drag on his cigarette, "They’re all brothers; even if I let them train, I have to ensure their safety, especially in this situation where we have to ensure nothing goes wrong on our side!"
"What about Yunxuan?" Zhao Yi asked again.
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "I don’t know, I didn’t let Xiaobin arrange that side, not because I’m not worried, but because someone is more concerned about him than we are, making Yunxuan safer than Huzi."
Zhao Yi furrowed his brow, "Are you talking about the Jiang Family behind Yunxuan?"
"Is it Jiang Yifan’s family?" Xiao Hu chimed in at this time.
"Do you know Jiang Yifan?" Liu Zixuan looked over curiously.
Xiao Hu shook his head, "Not exactly acquainted, but met once; he visited the Xiao King Tomb seven years ago but didn’t take anything, just looked around. Speaking of which, I even fought him."
"How was his strength?"
Hearing Xiao Hu’s words, Liu Zixuan became more curious. Jiang Yifan had always been a mysterious figure, appearing only in the words of Jiang Yiyi, Jiang Yunxuan, or others, but nobody knew what scope he had reached.
Xiao Hu frowned, "Seven years ago, I couldn’t take five moves from him."
"Hiss!"
Everyone collectively gasped, knowing Zhao Yi and Liu Zixuan both had faced Xiao Hu, understanding his prowess, and Jiang Yifan could defeat him in five moves, proving Jiang Yifan might have reached at least the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven seven years ago.
"But..." Xiao Hu glanced at Liu Zixuan, "But he did use the same method as you to defeat me."
Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched, "Also used distraction?"
"Hmm, you two are alike in that regard." Xiao Hu mocked.
Liu Zixuan laughed nervously, "Seems this Jiang Yifan is also quite a character!"
"So what do we do now? Rest and rejuvenate or strike directly?" Zhao Yi bypassed the topic and asked.
"They don’t dare to attack us, but our side has grown stronger. I think it’s time to finally tear our faces completely with the Celestial Dao Alliance!" Liu Zixuan squinted with a smile, "Let’s rest first today, and I’ll think about how to deal with them later tonight!"
