166: Outside the Tanlang Pass!
Accompanying a shrill scream, Zhuge Yu's thigh, exposed outside the teleportation Formation, was sliced off by the Qi Blade.
Even the teleportation Formation, struck by the Qi Blade, began to flicker unsteadily.
However, it was ultimately due to the intervention of the Mahayana Realm Expert that the Qi Blade was delayed by half a beat, allowing the leg-severed Zhuge Yu to be teleported away.
Unaware of the situation on the other side of the teleportation Formation, Gu Liangyuan would never have easily stepped in under normal circumstances.
But he underestimated Mo Tan Kill's killing intent; upon seeing blood, Mo Tan Kill's killing intent grew even stronger!
It dyed Gu Liangyuan's entire Sea of Consciousness crimson, causing Gu Liangyuan to completely lose his rationality, with only one thought remaining in his mind: kill Zhuge Yu!
Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he threw a halberd at the Great Ascension Realm Expert behind him, then stepped into the rapidly dissipating teleportation Formation!
"Junior Brother!"
Sun Elder exclaimed, seeing the situation, wanting to stop him, but it was already too late.
As the Great Ascension Realm Expert was struck by the blood blade Gu Liangyuan threw before leaving, the teleportation Formation completely vanished between heaven and earth.
The Great Ascension Realm Expert, whom Sun Elder had struggled against unsuccessfully earlier, was directly slain by Gu Liangyuan's casual halberd strike.
And strangely, the Great Ascension Realm Expert's Primordial Spirit disappeared out of thin air.
Looking at the few Body Integration Cultivators who wanted to escape, Sun Elder quickly dealt with the aftermath and headed straight for the Supreme Sacred Ground with Qianqiu.
Things were getting a bit out of control; she needed to inform Lü Qingmei.
Throughout the journey, Qianqiu's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.
Although she had regained her confidence under Gu Liangyuan's tutelage, she still harbored sensitivity and inferiority deep down, especially when facing Gu Liangyuan.
She felt that all of this was caused by her.
This young man clearly had a significant background, and no one knew what the situation was like on the other side of the teleportation Formation.
If Gu Liangyuan were to fall into danger because of this, she dared not imagine the consequences.
Sun Elder keenly noticed Qianqiu's emotions; although she was also extremely flustered, she still spoke to comfort her:
"Don't you understand your Master yet? His trump cards are endless. His exposure of the means to kill a Mahayana Cultivator indicates that he at least has the confidence to retreat unscathed from under an Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator."
Qianqiu nodded, but the self-blame and regret in her heart could not be dispelled.
What they didn't know was that shortly after everyone left, Jun Ao Zhi's aunt happened to pass by that area, and she even brought a Great Ascension Realm Dao Protector.
In other words, even if Gu Liangyuan hadn't acted, with Qianqiu's immense Luck, nothing would have happened.
The saying 'concern leads to confusion' was precisely this.
Speaking of Gu Liangyuan, he took a step forward and stayed in the dark environment for several breaths before the scenery in front of him instantly changed.
What met his eyes was a majestic city, nestled between two ten-thousand-foot-high mountains, surrounded by Formations.
Under his Innate Divine Eyes, Gu Liangyuan could tell at a glance that this Formation was extraordinary.
Connecting to the earth's ley lines below and the stars above, it was no less impressive than the Forget-Love Peak's protective Formation!
At this moment, Zhuge Yu, clutching his thigh, had landed on the city wall.
Almost the instant Gu Liangyuan appeared, three Body Integration Cultivators materialized before him.
Sensing the monstrous killing intent emanating from Gu Liangyuan, the three did not dare to be careless, and one tentatively spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, this is Greed Wolf Pass of the Ancient Ink Dynasty. Please, Fellow Daoist, do not trespass."
Gu Liangyuan pointed his long halberd at Zhuge Yu on the pass:
"Him, give him to me!"
As he spoke, Gu Liangyuan bit his teeth tightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
The three followed the direction of Gu Liangyuan's long halberd and saw Zhuge Yu on the pass.
Someone immediately recognized Zhuge Yu's identity: the direct descendant of the Zhuge Family of the Ancient Ink Dynasty!
The Ancient Ink Dynasty had countless large and small aristocratic families; although the Zhuge Family couldn't compare to the top aristocratic families that influenced imperial power, they were still a first-rate family.
Looking at the killing intent on the young man in front of them, he surely came with ill intentions. The Zhuge Family had a single heir for eight generations; if Zhuge Yu were handed over to this person, the Zhuge Family would surely skin them alive.
The three exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts.
Almost simultaneously, they all retreated.
Seeing that the three had no intention of calling for help, Gu Liangyuan could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart.
"Kill!"
With a single word uttered, the Slaughter Domain immediately unfolded, extending eight hundred li!
In an instant, the situation changed drastically; the clear sky was immediately covered by dark clouds.
Heavenly thunder, earthquakes, and violent winds—multiple disasters emerged simultaneously, presenting a scene of world destruction!
This thousand-zhang-high majestic pass, in front of this anomaly, appeared like a lone boat in the vast ocean, seeming so small and powerless, as if it could be submerged at any moment.
The three had not yet had time to enter the city gate when they were directly enveloped by the Slaughter Domain.
They immediately felt the surrounding air instantly become viscous, and moving within it was like being trapped in a quagmire.
Every step was extremely difficult.
Whoosh!
A flash of blood light appeared between heaven and earth, and the three Body Integration Cultivators were all cut in half at the waist!
Zhuge Yu on the city wall, seeing this, no longer cared about the pain in his leg and frantically fled into the pass.
The moment the three Body Integration Cultivators were slain, a great red light erupted from Mo Tan Kill, and four illusory figures also appeared behind Gu Liangyuan.
These four illusory figures included the Great Ascension Cultivator who was first slain, and then these three Body Integration Cultivators.
At this time, the four were only in their Primordial Spirit state, wearing blood-red armor, closely following behind Gu Liangyuan, looking left and right, as if guarding against sudden sneak attacks.
These four had been controlled by Mo Tan Kill and became Halberd Generals!
They had completely lost their own consciousness, with only the Killing Instinct remaining!
In this state, although they could not unleash their full combat power from when they were alive, under the enhancement of the Killing Origin, a Halberd General at the Early Stage of Mahayana could still unleash the combat power of a Peak Body Integration Cultivator.
The three Middle Stage Body Integration Cultivators could also unleash the combat power of an Early Stage Cultivator.
Bang!
The moment Gu Liangyuan killed the three, a drum sound suddenly echoed between heaven and earth!
Like a tiger's roar, like thunder!
Immediately after, tens of thousands of elite soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall.
A glance revealed that each of them had Core Formation cultivation!
The protective Formation shone brightly, echoing the Greed Wolf Star in the sky!
A Peak Body Integration Cultivator, clad in battle armor, hovered above Greed Wolf Pass, gazing at Gu Liangyuan with a serious expression.
"Form up!"
With a loud shout, the Formation of soldiers below instantly changed, and the power of Qi and blood, mixed with Evil Qi, surged into the sky, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang-long ancient wolf with the power of the stars!
The ancient wolf's pure black fur was mixed with specks of silver, and as it lowered its head and growled, it shimmered like stars in the night sky.
Its bloodshot eyes held a cunning look, staring unblinkingly at Gu Liangyuan outside the pass.
Its entire body exuded the pressure of the Mahayana Realm.
Gu Liangyuan didn't even glance at all the changes inside the pass, but stared intently in the direction Zhuge Yu had fled.
With the circulation of his magic power, a golden light flashed between Gu Liangyuan's eyebrows.
Under the enhancement of the Innate Divine Eyes, his gaze passed over the obstruction of the high wall and landed directly on Zhuge Yu.
He saw that Zhuge Yu had already escaped outside the pass and conjured a withered yellow leaf.
With a single toss, the leaf grew against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was the size of a small boat.
Zhuge Yu tapped it with his single leg and half-reclined on the leaf.
The leaf instantly transformed into a stream of light, shooting forward.
Looking at the direction it was heading, it was clearly another majestic pass.
Although that majestic pass was eight hundred li away from this place, Gu Liangyuan saw through it with a single glance.
Looking at the details of that majestic pass was like observing patterns on his palm!
He clearly saw two ancient characters "Giant Gate" carved on the majestic pass.
Gu Liangyuan instantly guessed Zhuge Yu's thoughts; Zhuge Yu knew he was no match for him, so he used the majestic pass as an obstruction to stall him and buy time for his escape.
But how could Gu Liangyuan let him have his way?
