Book 2: Chapter 85: Eliminating Five Animal Spirits: Another Bottleneck

When the crimson saber appeared, it severely injured one of the five animal spirits. Their expressions changed dramatically.

“That’s impossible!” The expression of Gao Liusheng, who was on a distant mountain, also changed dramatically.

How could Gu Hai compete with the five animal spirits in power or strength? Although the five were animal spirits, they were still Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, albeit just advanced.

“That saber?” Gao Liusheng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Indeed. Gu Hai’s strength and speed cannot possibly increase by so much. There is only one possibility: that saber. That crimson saber?

When Gu Hai held that crimson saber, his entire body turned crimson.

——

“Be careful of that saber!” the injured leopard spirit shouted.

“Roar!”

The group of animal spirits coldly eyed Gu Hai.

“Who sent you here?” Gu Hai asked in a chill voice as he held the crimson saber.

“You are Gu Hai? We heard that you have a Century Lifespan Immortality Peach. Is that true? We are here for your Century Lifespan Immortality Peach!” one of the wolf spirits said coldly.

“Ha! Even if you don’t say it, I know. It’s the Divine Strategy Battalion’s Li Haoran?” Gu Hai sneered.

“Huh?” The animal spirits’ faces sank.

Far on the distant mountain’s summit, Gao Liusheng’s face also sank.

“Shangguan Hen, bring your men to help the surrounding ordinary people! Chen Tianshan, support him!” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!” Shangguan Hen and Chen Tianshan immediately answered.

“Hahaha! Help? Even at this time, you want to save the ordinary people? Roar!”

The two wolf spirits suddenly roared as they pounced over, instantly closing the distance.

Gu Hai swung his saber.

One of the wolf spirits swung its paw, clashing its claws against the saber. At this moment, the other wolf spirit approached as well. If Gu Hai did not defend against this second wolf spirit, the second wolf spirit’s attack would reach him.

“Heavenly saber!” Gu Hai shouted.

Boom!

Suddenly, surging fog filled the surroundings. The crimson saber sent energy to Gu Hai, allowing him to use the Heavenly Saber Death Match.

As the crimson saber swung down on one wolf spirit, many heavenly sabers chopped down on the second wolf spirit.

Rumble…!

The energy was limited, after all, so the heavenly sabers were not very strong. They could only hurt the wolf spirit a little and leave some shallow wounds.

Saber qi immediately surrounded Gu Hai like a ball, clashing with the two wolf spirits.

“Quickly come and help!” one of the wolf spirits called out.

“Roar!”

All the other animal spirits pounced over together.

“Roar!”

One of the leopard spirits opened its mouth and spewed flames at Gu Hai.

The animal spirits immediately surrounded Gu Hai, trapping him in the middle.

Gu Hai was already wielding the crimson saber in his hand at his maximum speed. In the end, it was challenging to fight one against five.

Boom!

Suddenly, a wolf claw broke through the heavenly sabers and arrived before Gu Hai.

Rip!

The attack ripped Gu Hai’s shirt and left a red mark on his chest. If not for Gu Hai’s tough skin and flesh, in addition to the crimson saber’s energy, that attack would have torn his chest open.

Gu Hai’s expression changed as he suddenly swung the saber at the bear spirit. He put his full strength into this strike, resulting in an opening behind him.

“Roar!”

The wolf spirit’s claw broke through the heavenly sabers again, striking Gu Hai’s back.

Boom!

When the crimson saber struck, it sent the bear spirit flying into the Gu Residence’s ritual array.

“Ah! Oh no!” the bear spirit suddenly bellowed.

However, Gu Hai had already knocked the bear spirit into the ritual array with his full power.

“I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world!” A loud cry suddenly came from the ritual array.

Boom!

“Argh!” The bear spirit’s miserable cry came from the ritual array.

Rumble…!

The ritual array shook, but the bear spirit did not come out.

After Gu Hai sent the bear spirit flying, a wolf spirit landed an attack on his back. However, a loud metallic sound rang out.

Boom!

This attack knocked Gu Hai into the air. It tore the clothes on his back but failed to tear his skin.

“How is that possible? Why was there armor on your back earlier? Did I see wrong?” that wolf spirit exclaimed.

Earlier, Gu Hai controlled the Life Ender Saber to grow bones on his back, forming armor there. This protection allowed him to block that wolf spirit’s claw attack.

However, this attack made Gu Hai gasp and his blood churn.

“Again!” Gu Hai stepped forward, charging over.

“Roar! Roar!”

The four animal spirits roared as they pounced over.

With the earlier experience and one less bear spirit, Gu Hai faced significantly less pressure. The Heavenly Saber Death Match enveloped him as he engaged the four animal spirits with the crimson saber again.

The chaotic battle resumed. After a while, Gu Hai found another excellent opportunity.

“Again! Break!” Gu Hai shouted.

Gu Hai revealed another opening as he swung his saber at a wolf spirit with full strength.

“Roar!”

The other three animal spirits attacked with their full power, risking damage from the Heavenly Saber Death Match to attack Gu Hai.

Boom!

Gu Hai knocked another animal spirit into the Gu Residence’s ritual array.

“No!” that wolf spirit cried out miserably as it faced Xiang Yu’s halberd in the ritual array.

The three animal spirits landed their attacks simultaneously and sent Gu Hai flying as well. Now, his clothes were already in tatters. A layer of bone armor appeared on his skin again before vanishing instantly, leaving perfectly intact skin.

Blargh!

The strong force inflicted some internal injury on Gu Hai, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

Just a mouthful of blood?

The three powerful animal spirits stared at Gu Hai in horror.

“I did not see wrong. There really was armor? It was there earlier, but now it’s gone?” the remaining wolf spirit shouted.

“Again!” Gu Hai held up his saber as he charged at the three animal spirits.

“This is not right! This is not right!” The three animal spirits retreated.

Even now, the three animal spirits had yet to notice that Gu Hai could not fly, as that earlier scene had been too strange.

Again? Gu Hai had already knocked two animal spirits into the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array. If that happened again, their advantages would diminish further.

“Trying to leave?”

Gu Hai immediately leaped towards the severely injured leopard spirit as it ran the slowest.

“Roar!” that leopard spirit howled.

As the leopard spirit did not have any enchanted treasures to protect it, blood immediately spurted out when Gu Hai landed his saber on its back, injuring it further.

“Argh!” the leopard spirit screamed.

“Go!” Gu Hai pushed hard with a ferocious expression.

Boom!

Gu Hai sent the leopard spirit flying into the Gu Residence’s ritual array.

“No!”

“I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world!”

Terrified roars came from the ritual array.

Now, only one wolf spirit and one leopard spirit remained. Their expressions changed wildly as they turned to flee.

“Still trying to flee at this moment? It’s too late!” Gu Hai revealed a cold smile.

“Ritual array, rise!” A loud shout suddenly came from the distance.

It was Shangguan Hen who shouted.

Boom!

Suddenly, churning white fog rose from the ground, encasing the two animal spirits.

“What?” The two animal spirits’ expressions changed.

However, it was already too late. An Azure Dragon Crescent Blade swung down.

Gu Hai’s figure flickered as he vanished into the thick fog.

Boom!

A halberd chopped down.

Boom! Boom!

The attacks immediately chopped off the animal spirits’ legs, causing them to collapse as they gaped at the Xiang Yu cloud beast in horror.

Standing on the cloud beast’s head, Gu Hai looked at the two animal spirits coldly.

“You are not that smart, yet you actually imitated others in trying to assassinate people? When I sent Shangguan Hen to protect the ordinary people earlier, I was, in fact, telling them to gather people to lay the ritual array. While you fought me, you did not bother to keep an eye on what the others were doing? Humph!” Gu Hai sneered.

“Gu Hai, what do you want?”

“Gu Hai, don’t kill me! I can obey your commands! I can obey your commands!”

The two animal spirits cried out in horror.

Gu Hai shook his head and said, “I don’t need that. You are Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. I do not have the energy to keep my guard up against you at all times.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, surging white fog enveloped the two animal spirits.

“What are you doing?” the two animal spirits asked in confusion.

When the thick fog enveloped the two animal spirits, even Shangguan Hen and his subordinates could not see what Gu Hai was going.

Boom!

Xiang Yu stepped on the wolf spirit while Gu Hai pulled out the Life Ender Saber.

Phish!

Gu Hai stabbed the wolf spirit.

“Argh! Argh! Argh! No, don’t! Don’t eat me! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!” the wolf spirit yelled in horror.

When the wolf spirit started yelling, the leopard spirit also started screaming in horror, “A skeleton? Don’t eat me! Spare me! Gao Liusheng, save me! Gao Liusheng! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!”

The leopard spirit and wolf spirit cried out exceptionally miserably. Even Shangguan Hen and the other evil men felt a chill in their hearts. However, Gu Hai had used the ritual array to cover up the two animal spirits, so no one could interfere.

What is Milord doing to the two animal spirits?

It was not just in the ritual array that Shangguan Hen set up. Soon, the miserable cries of the other three animal spirits rang out in the ritual array controlled by Gu Qin.

“Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!”

The heart-wrenching cries of the five animal spirits sent chills down everyone’s spine.

However, the ordinary people cheered, “Kill them! Master Gu, kill them!”

“My father died a miserable death! Master Gu, kill these monsters and take revenge for my father!”

“Sob! Sob! Sob! My son! How did you end up being eaten by animal spirits?! Master Gu has already taken revenge for you!”

Sorrowful cries filled the town. When Gao Liusheng heard the five animal spirits’ miserable cries from the distant mountain, he also felt a chill in his heart.

What is going on?

The miserable shrieks continued for a while before stopping.

Under Gu Hai’s command, Shangguan Hen and the others slowly dismissed the ritual array.

Some cultivators who remained, the surrounding ordinary citizens, Gu Hai’s evil men, and the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples in the distance stared as the ritual array scattered, wanting to see what happened.

As the fog dissipated, it slowly revealed the corpses of the animal spirits.

No, not even a corpse remained. There were only piles of dry, white bones.

“This… Did a demon eat their bodies?” Gao Liusheng’s expression changed.

The scene from the First Song Sect reappeared. Five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators! They were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but only piles of bones remained of them?

“Excellent! Well killed!”

“Many thanks, Master Gu!”

“Master Gu, many thanks for my mother’s revenge!”

The ordinary people cheered in grief. The cultivators watching nearby felt chilled. Those were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. How monstrous was Gu Hai?

Chen Tianshan and his subordinates gulped in shock.

“Bury these bones!” Gu Hai’s voice came from the Gu Residence’s ritual array.

“Yes!” Shangguan Hen answered.

Gu Hai had already returned to the Soaring Pagoda.

He had an unsightly expression after putting away the crimson saber and the Life Ender Saber and changing his clothes.

After the Life Ender Saber consumed five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it fed back strong energy to Gu Hai. That seemed to have pushed his cultivation to the limits again. He felt like his cultivation would break through but got stuck. The sensation felt unbearable.

“Providence? I need to hurry up!” Gu Hai showed a ferocious expression amid his discomfort.

“Adoptive Father, you were very incredible earlier!” Not far away, Gu Qin still felt very excited.

“Call Shangguan Hen to search the surroundings of the Gu Residence thoroughly. Find the whereabouts of the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples. Send out people to work with Shangguan Hen!” Gu Hai ordered.

“Huh? Yes!” Gu Qin answered.
