Chapter 1695 Your Opponent Is Me!
"Soul Sect's Hun Tianqi?"
Gu Honglong frowned deeply.
"That's right!" Dugu Bo nodded.
"Why can't I come? This Hun family is also my home. Why are you intruding? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Hun Tianqi said coldly.
Gu Honglong said, "Today I'm just here to ask the Hun family for one person. As long as you hand them over, everything will remain as it was."
"Who are you looking for?" Hun Tianyuan asked.
"Su Qian of the Su family!"
Gu Honglong said.
Su Qian's predicament was entirely due to the Gu family, and his Gu family could not stand by idly.
"Sorry, we don't have such a person. You can go back. Of course, if that kid Chen Xuan can come over, I might tell him." Hun Tianyuan sneered.
"So, Su Qian is in your Hun family?" Gu Honglong said.
Hun Tianyuan smiled without speaking.
"Hand him over immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!" Gu Yulong said anxiously.
"Oh? How do you want us to be rude?" Hun Tianyuan sneered.
He didn't take Gu Yulong seriously at all.
"How dare you be rude to our Hun family? I'll teach you a lesson!"
A young man jumped out.
Hun Han, one of the top geniuses of the Hun family, possessed unfathomable strength.
"Oh really? Then let's try!"
Gu Yulong took the initiative to attack.
He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike!
Hun Han also refused to be outdone, throwing a punch.
This punch was accompanied by a pervasive black energy, clearly not an ordinary fist technique.
"Yulong, be careful, that's Soul Annihilation Fist!" Gu Honglong hurriedly warned.
Gu Yulong neither dodged nor blocked, as if he hadn't heard, and simply met the punch with his own.
Seeing this, Hun Han's lips curled into a cold smile.
Soul Annihilation Fist was not known for its brute force, but it contained a powerful hidden energy. How could Gu Yulong possibly be its match?
However—
With a deafening roar, Gu Yulong was completely unharmed, not even a hair out of place. On the contrary, Hun Han was sent flying backward, spitting blood, his chest bearing the impact of immense force.
Hun Han exclaimed in shock, "Gu Yulong, how can you be so powerful?"
Even Gu Honglong was astonished. Gu Yulong had become so powerful now. Although Gu Yulong's talent was strong, his progress hadn't been this rapid, had it?
"Because I have a good man!"
Gu Yulong's voice was clear and resonant.
"Heh heh, nonsense!" Hun Han didn't believe it at all.
In fact, Gu Yulong was not wrong.
Her cultivation had improved so rapidly entirely because of her good man. Ever since she started cultivating under Chen Xuan, her cultivation speed had been advancing by leaps and bounds.
"It seems you're forcing me to use my ultimate move!"
Hun Han's gaze turned cold, and he shouted, "Soul Refining Technique!"
He rapidly formed hand seals, executing a series of profound gestures, immediately filling the air with an eerie aura.
A ball of eerie energy shot towards Gu Yulong.
Gu Yulong could still cope with palm strikes and fist techniques, but she didn't know how to deal with this kind of dark art, and could only retreat rapidly!
The black energy suddenly transformed into a ferocious ghost, which lunged at Gu Yulong with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Gu Yulong tried to resist, but the ghost exhaled a breath of ghostly energy, and Gu Yulong immediately became immobile.
The ghost reached out and grabbed, and Gu Yulong's soul was actually pulled out.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Honglong was greatly alarmed. He had seen many arcane arts, but this was the first time he had witnessed such an evil technique that could forcibly extract a person's soul from their body.
"Patriarch Gu, there's still much you haven't seen. I'll give you a good lesson when I return."
Hun Han said, "This so-called Soul Refining Technique allows me to summon these fierce ghosts to refine and absorb the souls of my targets, thereby increasing my strength!"
"Evil, too evil! Your Hun family deserves to be struck by heavenly lightning!"
Gu Honglong cursed.
To forcibly tear out a person's soul and refine it was a terrifying prospect.
"Evil? This is a world where the victor reigns and the vanquished are forgotten. How can you talk to me about evil?"
Hun Han laughed heartily.
His gaze sharpened, "Refine!"
Before his words could even fall, the ghost began to refine Gu Yulong's soul. Gu Honglong tried to intervene but was stopped by a Hun family expert.
The situation was dire!
Hun Han licked his lips as he watched, "With the soul of such a beautiful woman as nourishment to enhance my cultivation, it seems I'm in for a treat today!"
At the critical moment, a rune suddenly shot through the air and adhered to the ghost.
The power of the rune surged, and a resplendent Yang energy erupted, enveloping the ghost. The ghost let out a piercing shriek and immediately released Gu Yulong's soul. Gu Yulong's soul returned to her body, but her soul had been damaged, and she promptly fainted.
Yang energy, being supremely pure and potent, was the nemesis of fierce ghosts, and it instantly turned the ghost into ashes.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Hun Han tried to stop it, but it was too late.
Hun Han was furious.
This ghost had been cultivated for five full years, requiring countless efforts. Now, it had vanished into thin air in an instant, how could he not be enraged?
"Who did it? Stand out!"
Hun Han said coldly.
A sound of footsteps echoed, and Chen Xuan and the disheveled Taoist priest arrived gracefully.
"Disheveled Taoist priest, you're so unkempt, yet your talismans are so potent. Dealing with this ghost is a sure thing."
"Of course, but you're not bad either, possessing about eighty to ninety percent of my power."
"No, no!"
Chen Xuan and the disheveled Taoist priest flattered each other, causing Hun Han's face to turn even greener.
"Mr. Ye?" Gu Yulong exclaimed with joy upon seeing them.
"Patriarch Gu, I apologize for the trouble."
Chen Xuan said earnestly.
The Gu family had come to rescue Su Qian, so he naturally had to apologize.
"Mr. Ye, please quickly check on Yulong. She fainted just now!" Gu Honglong said.
Chen Xuan replied, "It's alright. Gu Yulong fainted because her soul was damaged, but it's not a serious injury."
"That's good."
Gu Honglong breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you are Chen Xuan. You dare to kill my fierce ghost? Today, I will refine your souls!" Hun Han said coldly.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Chen Xuan pointed to the disheveled Taoist priest beside him and said, "He did it. It has nothing to do with me."
The disheveled Taoist priest retorted, "You're selling out your comrade. That's not right."
"I'm telling the truth."
Chen Xuan's words left the disheveled Taoist priest speechless.
"You all need to be careful. The people of the Hun family are all eccentric!" Gu Honglong quickly reminded them.
"Then how about this? I'll take care of this brat, and you can handle those two old guys. What do you say?"
The disheveled Taoist priest glanced at Hun Tianqi and Hun Tianyuan.
"You're quite good at taking advantage, but that's fine too."
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
He now possessed the Three Divine Artifacts of Yamato, and he wanted to see their power. Fighting two at once would be a challenge.
"Then I won't be polite!" The disheveled Taoist priest immediately attacked, engaging Hun Han.
Hun Han employed extremely sinister tactics, but he met his match in the disheveled Taoist priest, a master of the Taoist school, who, with little effort, made Hun Han retreat steadily.
"How dare you bully my Hun family? You're seeking death!"
Hun Tianqi and Hun Tianyuan immediately charged forward.
But Chen Xuan flashed and blocked their path, "Your opponent is me!"
