394 Ambush

Ye Xiu bowed and gestured for Gu Mingzhou to go first.

His face was very respectful, but Gu Mingzhou could tell he was smiling.

Ye Xiu was secretly happy and rejoicing.

Was it because he had left this place? The thoughts that had flashed past Gu Mingzhou’s mind gradually emerged.

“Three days ago, the Floating Jade Island Master asked me to enter the library of the Floating Jade Island. Did he tell you about this?” Gu Mingzhou suddenly turned his head and said as he passed by Ye Xiu.

“Oh my, I almost forgot. The King asked me to bring Senior to the library Pavilion first!” Ye Xiu didn’t expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly speak. He came back to his senses and seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

“That’s good. It seems like I’m fortunate enough to be able to read the cultivation techniques of the Floating Jade Island today.” Gu Mingzhou nodded in satisfaction and walked up.

Ye Xiu followed behind Gu Mingzhou and secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead. He let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind Gu Mingzhou, walking up the steps.

However, Ye Xiu didn’t notice the moment Gu Mingzhou turned around, his face turned cold.

The stairs leading to the surface were still in a spiral shape, winding like a dragon, connecting the underground palace to the surface.

This was Gu Mingzhou’s second time walking up the steps, so he was quite familiar with the way.

For some reason, Gu Mingzhou felt a strange silence as he walked up.

Gu Mingzhou’s pace was very fast, and Ye Xiu followed closely behind.

The two of them didn’t say anything and just walked quickly toward the ground.

Ye Xiu’s breathing suddenly became hurried and he began to pant.

That was a sign of nervousness.

But what was Ye Xiu so nervous about?

The light on the ground was getting closer and closer, and the door leading to the depths of the Floating Jade Palace could be vaguely seen.

“There’s something I forgot to ask you.” Gu Mingzhou, who was walking forward with his head lowered, suddenly stopped.

“What?” Ye Xiu didn’t expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly stop and almost bump into him. He hurriedly stopped, his face a little panicked.

“Exterminate!” Gu Mingzhou didn’t seem to notice Ye Xiu’s panic and looked at him.

As Gu Mingzhou’s voice rang out, an invisible wave of air instantly swept through the long staircase.

Ye Xiu sensed something strange. His right hand grabbed the sword at his waist and prepared to pull it out.

“Let’s go. What are you waiting for?” A voice suddenly came from in front of Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu followed the sound and saw Gu Mingzhou, who had been standing in front of him, had already walked to the door of the palace and was about to step out.

In a daze, Ye Xiu immediately let go of the sword at his waist.

Although he felt strange, seeing Gu Mingzhou about to step out of the hall, the doubts in his heart disappeared. He quickly chased after Gu Mingzhou.

And when Ye Xiu walked towards Gu Mingzhou, the Gu Mingzhou in his eyes also turned around and stepped out, directly walking through the palace doors.

Ye Xiu, who was originally calm, suddenly became ferocious the moment he saw Gu Mingzhou walk out of the hall. Countless spiritual energy burst out of his body.

The sword at his waist flew out, and he leaped towards the palace door.

“Kill!” his voice was incomparably loud and clear, instantly passing through the hall door and reverberating through the Floating Jade Hall, breaking the original silence.

At the same time Ye Xiu’s voice rang out, the silence in the rear hall of the Floating Jade Palace was broken. Suddenly, an endless amount of power burst forth, and a terrifyingly large wave of energy swept through the entire Floating Jade temple.

Deafening explosions rang out continuously.

The heat waves rolled and dust flew everywhere!

The Floating Jade Palace seemed to have set off a storm of energy that could shatter the heavens and earth. It was as if it wanted to annihilate everything within the palace.

Countless figures jumped out from all directions, swaying in the dust-filled hall.

Ye Xiu raised his sword. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he raised his sword without thinking and slashed at Gu Mingzhou.

Whoosh!

A resplendent sword light shot out from the treasured sword in Ye Xiu’s hand. It carried boundless power, as if it wanted to split the void apart, and instantly slashed at the figure!

Rubble flew and the palace shook slightly.

In the dust cloud, a crack that was dozens of meters long appeared and meandered to the corner of the wall.

On both sides of this tens of meters long, hideous crack, dust was falling and flying. The broken corpses that were split in half were scattered on both sides of the crack, and hot blood was constantly spurting out of the broken corpses.

In the vast rear hall, as the dust settled, several figures were gradually revealed.

They had big shoulders and round waists, and they either had human bodies or beast heads.

There were turtles, snakes, water Dragons, clams, fish, prawns, and dark eels. It was extremely terrifying.

There were thousands of them scattered in all directions of the back hall, forming an encirclement. They all looked at Ye Xiu, who was floating in the air, in shock.

“Haha, I didn’t fail my mission. This kid is finally dead! An existence that surpasses the Dao Foundation is only so-so!” Ye Xiu floated down from the sky and landed in front of the palace door leading to the underground palace. It was as if he didn’t see the gazes of the surrounding beast cultivators. Through the gradually settling dust, he looked at the blurry corpse on the ground and couldn’t help but laugh.

His voice echoed throughout the Floating Jade rear hall.

However, Ye Xiu didn’t get the response he wanted. The back hall was very quiet, and no beast cultivator made a sound!

Ye Xiu finally noticed that something was wrong. The excitement on his face gradually faded. His eyes couldn’t help but narrow as he looked at the two corpses on both sides of the crack.

“Not him? How is that possible?” Ye Xiu’s expression changed drastically as he asked in disbelief.

He realized that the body that had been split in half was not Gu Mingzhou, but the underwater beast cultivator with the body of a snake and the head of a man.

In other words, his plan had failed!

While Ye Xiu was still in disbelief, before he could recover from his shock, a light shout came from behind him!

“Nothing is impossible. You’re not Ye Xiu. The one who died wasn’t me!” a flaming spear stabbed out from behind Ye Xiu, instantly piercing Ye Xiu’s body.

Dark red blood spurted out.

Ye Xiu didn’t even have time to react. His face was still in disbelief as a flaming spear suddenly appeared behind him, instantly piercing through his body.

When the spear pierced through his body, Ye Xiu’s body rapidly changed.

In an instant, it separated from its human body and turned into a giant Python. Its body, which was dozens of meters long, wrapped around the spear and twisted continuously.

As if sensing the Python’s counterattack, the pitch-black spear turned, and the burning flames instantly spread to the Python’s body, burning the tens of meters long Python into ashes!

The spear did not stop at all and suddenly fell.

Whoosh!

The long spear trembled in the void and turned into a black spear light. It flashed with sharp and cold light and shot toward the scattered demon cultivators in the back hall.

The spear’s shadow filled the sky as it rapidly shuttled through the palace.

Blood splattered everywhere, and more than half of the demonic cultivators were injured.

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of demonic cultivators fell one after another, and the dust that had just settled flew up again.

Cries of alarm and fear..

The quiet rear hall exploded with all kinds of screams and exclamations.

The beast cultivators who were lucky enough to escape the spear shadows scattered in all directions, extremely panicked.

Gu Mingzhou leaped out of the hall. His white shadow fluttered and his figure was like lightning. He instantly caught the falling spear!

He looked at the demonic cultivators who were running for their lives in a panic and a cold look flashed in his eyes. Vast Yuan power gushed out of his body and gathered in the spear in his hand.

Swish!

The spear’s radiance illuminated the rear hall and shot out with terrifying power!
