Chapter 32: The most scariest thing(1)

When they heard Xun Shung's command the other gu masters started to align themselves in a particular position, one was right behind Xun Shung, the other two gu masters were at his sides, slightly inclined inside. From front they looked like an arrow that was ready to shoot at any time. The demonic gu master licked his lips and started running towards them in response.

Xun Shung immediately shot a moon glow gu to test his opponent, the opponent gu master tilted his head lightly while sneering.

Xun Shung 'with his running technique it's now sure that this area is his hunting ground and his physical aspects are top notch, most probably he is a lone gu master so the possibility of any trap or ambush is low. But with the confidence he showed earlier it's most likely that his trump card has something to do with the surroundings.'

Xun Shung calculated in his mind, all the possibilities and different perspectives were running in his mind. Suddenly the demonic gu master opened his mouth and shot out a grey beam.

Kchaang!! noises spread all over the area! the grey beam directly fall on Xun Shung, but it was stopped by a white faint glow on Xun Shung's body, rank 2 - white jade gu was on work.

Xun Shung 'so he is a soul path gu master, now this will be a headache'. Many types of gu master only cover physical aspects of body but soul is ethreal, that's why it's difficult to fight a soul path gu master head on.

The grey beam after hitting Xun Shung rebounded and directly hit a tree nearby. The tree was surprisingly intact. Xun Shung 'something is not right here, how could a tree handle a rank 2 attack head on'. He was puzzled but it was not the time to think all about this.

Xun Shung's slaves attacked with their long range gu worms, but because of having low cultivation it wasn't effective at all. But to Xun Shung it was enough to keep the opponent at bay. After testing each other for ten minutes from afar, they closed the gap and started to fight in closed range.

Xun Shung had been training himself for a long time now, his short range combat abilities were average but due to grand bear strength coupled with his blazing fists gu, his attacks were ferocious. In counter, the demonic gu master was showing his experience in this regard as well, he is a soul path gu master who are best in terms of long range attacks but due to being a demonic gu master he is someone well versed with martial arts as well, with these many years of fighting he had a clear advantage upon Xun Shung.

But after some time, the demonic master started to loose breath, with multiple opponents attacking him at the same time, it was really difficult for him to maintain his foothold. Xun Shung's strategy was simple at this moment, he himself was fighting head on and his subordinates were attacking from time to time whenever the opponent was showing any gaps. He had to activate his rank 2 defence continuously.

After exchanging some moves and being left behind in this situation, the demonic gu master sneered, "not bad, not bad you can hold up on your own but what about the others" saying so he immediately used his movement type rank 3 Ghost walk gu and reach to one of the team mate. He kicked the gu master slave's stomach, the gu master fall down while coughing blood. The demonic gu master prepared his fist to launch another attack on the head but Xun Shung stopped him with his fist and then they started fighting again. But their opponent was a demonic gu master afterall, he retreated swiftly and started to throw attacks from his mouth. Xun Shung and his team was in a pinch now, whenever they close the gap between them, the demonic gu master beat one of the slave and then retreated, he then started attacking with long range attacks with his rank 2 and rank 3 gus.

Their situation wasn't bright but Xun Shung was in deep thoughts 'with the confidence this shithead had shown earlier, he is not that strong and he also knew that we are in a deadlock position, even if my team is in a bad position there's a grave problem for him to lengthen this fight because of the primeval essence. Then what are his plans, don't tell me he is dumb enough to think that we will die just with these petty tricks. No there should be something, there's no way a rank 4 wil just do this to kill his opponents it's impossible for him to even injure us like this' when he was thinking of this, the demonic gu master again used the grey beam attack towards one of the slaves but this time Xun Shung noticed something else.

Xun Shung 'so it was like this, no doubt he was that confident in his abilities, hehehe then I will personally support you in your plans fellow daoist' saying so Xun Shung activated the legendary Hope gu and started to collect the white strands inside his body. Due to its speciality that it resides in Xun Shung's heart, there's no aura leakage of Hope gu. After a considerable amount of white strands were collected, Xun Shung continue to let himself fall in the rhythm of his opponent, there movements were same everytime.

First the demonic gu master would shot out grey beams of light towards Xun Shung, then Xun Shung will try to close their gap and will fight him head on for some time. After that the demonic gu master would attack any of the slave and retreat swiftly. But there was something different this time, Xun Shung transfer those strands to his opponent. After half an hour of doing the same thing, the demonic gu master was now sure about his situation and advantages.

He slowly drifted apart and a rank 4 gu's aura spread in the surrounding,

soul path rank 4 - ghost valley gu.

As soon as he activated this gu, all the nearby trees started to glow in grey white light and immediately after that the entire fighting area was covered with a chilly grey smoke. The demonic gu master's voice echoed all over the area "kukuku!!, you all are now in my domain. Please make yourself comfortable before you all die without s corpse"

Xun Shung didn't move from his place neither do his slaves, he increased his focus and was calm instead. When he noticed that the tree was intact even after it was hit with a rank 2 attack, he made simple deduction about the opponent's purpose regarding this.

He intentionally made one of his slave to get hit by the grey beam to confirm his doubts and after the slave was not injured at all, he was sure that the confidence of this demonic gu master was because of his ability to trap his opponents in a soul dao amplified area. This smoke helps in distraction and also create illusions, it also amplifies soul dao methods inside this area. Xun Shung knew about this to some extent and planned regarding this that's why he kept getting in the opponent's rhythm. But it's a risky move, Xun Shung couldn't make it seem like too easy or it will be immediately noticed by the experienced demonic gu master nor could he say with a surity that his plan will work in his favour. But he gamble upon this anyways.
