Chapter 864 807: The Arrival of Golden Cicada

Yuan Rong didn't flinch, but he also didn't want to rush towards death.

They've already used every trick in the book yet still couldn't drive him out; continuing the fight would only bring suffering or death.

Moreover, he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Wu Tang's face changed dramatically; he hadn't expected this trap to be even bigger than the last.

Di Liuxin, that bastard, was too devious.

"This couldn't be your idea; you don't have the capability."

With the sudden burst of thunder and wind, Wujiu charged out from the darkness and bombarded Di Liuxin. When Di Liuxin was about to counterattack, Wujiu turned into an afterimage and vanished into the darkness again.

Yet his voice still drifted out slowly.

These intricate details were beyond Di Liuxin's mental scope.

At best, he was just an executor.

"This is definitely the work of your Four Extremes Hall's number two!"

When his voice came out again, he had already appeared on the other side.

Almost as if mocking, Wujiu's tone was full of disdain for Di Liuxin.

Di Liuxin erupted in anger, and at this moment Wujiu was as annoyingly persistent as an old foe. When his Dharma Aspect aura surged with intent to kill Wujiu, the Asura Dharma Aspect intercepted.

However, Wujiu's mocking voice continued relentlessly, forcing them into a desperate situation.

Even a high platform could hold off one Divine Dao Realm expert.

"But if things really become hopeless, we will absolutely kill you in a fit of rage; you're just a fool."

Let alone if things become hopeless, once the array is destroyed, nothing would restrain Yuan Rong. Two against one, Di Liuxin would have to stay here today.

Di Liuxin's expression froze; perhaps Wujiu's words really did make some sense.

Irrespective of the platform's success, those two could join forces.

At that point, it would indeed seem like a two against one, and killing him out of spite wouldn't be impossible.

But it wasn't just two against one; Di Liuxin glanced downward—Wu Tang hadn't died after all.

Three against one was enough to keep him here.

In his hesitation, Wujiu let out a cold smile, suddenly transforming into a dark shadow that struck straight at Di Liuxin's chest.

At the same level, strong opponents are hard to separate because their power is equivalent.

But they're also particularly easy to separate because one moment of carelessness is enough.

Di Liuxin's chest jolted, then a severe pain, looking down to find a wound already there.

The dark, sinister power surged through the wound, causing havoc inside, and though not fatal, it affected his ability to fight—potentially fatal.

After landing the blow, Wujiu revealed his form, standing in midair coldly watching Di Liuxin.

"It's not too late for you to retreat now."

Di Liuxin's face changed dramatically; retreat?

If he retreated and let those two attack the platform, all the preparations would be wasted.

Could he dare to retreat?

He could not; this wasn't just a matter of Celestial Dao Sect, it was his teacher's matter too.

Clenching his teeth, Di Liuxin re-composed his cold demeanor.

He believed the number two of the Four Extremes Hall could set him up, but he couldn't believe number two would dare to kill him!

Wujiu was correct; all this was the idea of the Four Extremes Hall's number two, each carefully crafted step his brainchild.

Di Liuxin was mostly filling in details, making some adjustments, and executing it.

"Words are useless, today, I will break your array!"

Di Liuxin swiped across his chest, stopping the bleeding from the wound instantly, secretly accumulating spiritual power to resist the dark power in his body while coldly remarking.

Wujiu looked at the array still dozens of meters away from the sacred artifact, gritting his teeth in anger, uncontrollably panting, he addressed Wu Tang below who was still attacking the Dharma Aspect.

"Wu Tang, come up first and kill him."

If all else fails, just gamble and kill Di Liuxin first; once he's dead, then the two of them can destroy the platform together.

Wu Tang suddenly paused, took a glance at Yuan Rong, who also nodded in agreement, "He's right, kill Di Liuxin first, you can't break away from me alone."

He hesitated no more, dragging his severely injured body, he turned and ascended to join Wujiu.

The two exchanged a glance and then attacked together. Wu Tang, injured and less aggressive, could only harass continuously while his Evil Ghost Dharma Aspect persisted in dragging the opponent's Dharma Aspect, allowing the Asura Dharma Aspect to press the attack.

Wujiu again turned into a dark shadow, elusive and unstable, while Wu Tang charged forward, his battered form erupting with intense killing intent, the sinister Ghostly Realm continually spreading as he and the Ghostly Soul surged together.

For a moment, the sky was filled, as Di Liuxin pointed a finger, light gathering, but ultimately it never bloomed.

Just because a shadow attacked, scraping past his finger, a mere instant severing a digit.

Blood blossomed like flowers, scattering freely.

After achieving success with one strike, the shadow continued to entwine, Di Liuxin's face showing astonishment, hurriedly retreating several miles, but Wu Tang already appeared behind him.

He didn't fear Wu Tang, as he was stronger than Wu Tang.

But Wu Tang presently became exceptionally troublesome, because Wu Tang's actions could constrain him!

Seeing Wujiu rush upon him once more, Di Liuxin's mind was heavily shaken, when finally a golden light arrived belatedly.

Golden light and shadow intersected, splitting on impact, the shadow halting, while the golden light retreated.

Golden Cicada instantly retreated to Di Liuxin's side, his expression indifferent.

Di Liuxin glared fiercely at him, reprimanding.

"Why did you delay until now?"

If it weren't for Golden Cicada's delay, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state!

Golden Cicada remained silent, just quietly standing by.

Di Liuxin's murderous intent flickered briefly but was concealed deftly.

"Go to the platform right away!"

He issued the order bluntly.

Golden Cicada silently nodded, and with a flash of golden light, leaped away.

Wujiu watched, feeling alarmed, hastily calling to Wu Tang, "Go stop him."

He actually preferred to act himself, but Di Liuxin definitely wouldn't give him the opportunity.

This much was evident to both sides.

By now, Celestial Dao Sect's setup seemed to have revealed its mystery.

Using the platform to pull down the array, Golden Cicada seemed to be the final piece.

Though the ultimate purpose was unclear, Wujiu would never let Golden Cicada's success progress.

"Yi Xian!"

Below, Han Yu naturally saw clearly; Di Liuxin's so-called Golden Cicada was none other than Yi Xian.

Looking at his former friend, now bald as Golden Cicada, Han Yu's heart was extremely conflicted.

"It is this aura, hiding brutality and destruction secretly, be cautious."

Artifact Spirit hurriedly sounded a warning; Golden Cicada gave it an unusually eerie sense, a calm aura concealing so much negative energy.

Seemingly hesitating, also speculating, "This doesn't seem like an aura a cultivator should have, too pure."

Pure brutality, pure destruction, yet more pure malevolence!

Although Han Yu's power was brutal too, it only manifested in battle and was kindled by anger.

While the aura on Yi Xian seemed baseless, as if innately present.

Wu Tang immediately rushed downward, with his Dharma Aspect already heading toward Golden Cicada.

Han Yu almost couldn't hold back, then quickly realized, this was no longer Yi Xian from before.

Golden Cicada was indeed not Yi Xian. Facing the Dharma Aspect's sudden assault, he clasped his hands together, a brilliant gold light shimmering forth, and the Dharma Aspect began to dissipate before touching him.

What on earth is this?

Wu Tang was startled, promptly retracting his Dharma Aspect, after examination, his expression turned exceedingly grim.

It wasn't disintegration, but corrosion; the Evil Ghost Dharma Aspect showed various degrees of erosion, as if encountering a natural enemy...
