Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 261 Guo Shiyi's Protection

A low growl echoed from Feifei's throat. Its forelimbs were lowered, its body arched, and its long white tail was raised slightly, clearly ready to attack at any moment.

Of the five people in front of Feifei, three were in front and two were behind. The three in front each held a long sword, clearly swordsmen, while the two behind were a spirit mage and a gunner.

The five people exchanged glances and launched an attack on Feifei at the same time. However, Feifei was not afraid at all. He continuously released bone walls to block the attacks of the two people in the back row, and at the same time, he drove the bone spikes on the ground to shoot towards the three people in the front row.

After a round, the five men had not gained any advantage over Feifei, while Feifei, in his continuous attacks, seized an opportunity to tackle another swordsman to the ground.

Just as tragedy was about to repeat itself, a dark red chain suddenly flew out from the darkness, quickly coiling around Fei Fei's limbs like a venomous snake, and then binding Fei Fei tightly in less than a second.

"Feifei!" Guo Shiyi cried out involuntarily as she watched, only to see Feifei struggling. However, blood-red runes appeared on the dark red chains, which tightened and tightened, almost deforming Feifei's massive body.

"I never expected to find such an ancient beast in this place. It seems this trip wasn't a complete waste." A glamorous woman emerged from the darkness; it was Asmodeus.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Guo Shiyi looked at the woman. Even Feifei was easily subdued, which showed how terrifyingly strong she was. She was no match for her at all. Despite this, she did not back down in the slightest, because she had never been a cowardly girl.

"Oh dear, what a fine face, what a pity." Asmodeus did not answer Guo Shiyi's question, but stared at her beautiful face full of youthful vitality and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Seeing that the other party didn't take her seriously at all, Guo Shiyi was too lazy to say anything more. She was certain that she was in big trouble today, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiang Qingxue behind her.

Asmodeus's gaze lingered on Guo Shiyi for a while, and a hint of lust involuntarily crept into his eyes.

"What a pity, what a pity." After fully appreciating Guo Shiyi's beauty, Asmodeus reluctantly closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Like hounds on a command, the three swordsmen sprang out simultaneously, raising their long swords and slashing at Guo Shiyi from three directions.

"The Binding of the Wood Shadow"

Despite knowing that her chances of survival were slim, Guo Shiyi did not give up easily. She would fight to the very end, even if there was only a sliver of hope.

A clump of black vines grew from the ground, wrapping around the three swordsmen like a ghost, while at the same time her other skill, Dance of Thorns, was activated.

Countless glowing thorns sprouted from the ground and lashed out at the three of them like a tidal wave. These vines contained spiritual power, and even a level seven spiritual mage would not be able to withstand several hits in a row.

However, her opponents were three swordsmen, whose physiques were already superior to those of spirit masters. Moreover, Guo Shiyi had recently advanced to the seventh level of spiritual power, and was facing three opponents who were no weaker than her at the same time, so she was naturally powerless.

In a short while, the three swordsmen swung their swords and cut down all the thorns around them. One of them rushed to Guo Shiyi's side at an extremely fast speed. When his long sword flashed coldly and slashed down at Guo Shiyi from the air, a red light screen suddenly unfolded from Guo Shiyi's body and formed a protective shield around her. It was the skill released by her necklace - Heart of Protection.

Just as the swordsman was surprised, Guo Shiyi struck him in the abdomen with a palm.

"The Art of Threading!" Guo Shiyi shouted coldly. Suddenly, a look of pain appeared on the swordsman's face. Countless brown branches pierced through the swordsman's body. The swordsman stared wide-eyed and slowly fell backward.

Guo Shiyi had just subdued one swordsman when two other swordsmen rushed over. Seeing the miserable state of the first one, they dared not get too close. Wielding their longswords, two sword lights slashed at Guo Shiyi from the left and right at the same time. The cold blade light reflected on her face. Facing two masters whose strength was no less than her own, Guo Shiyi knew that she could no longer escape death. After casting a Wooden Vine Barrier on Jiang Qingxue, she closed her eyes and awaited her death.

"Horned Wood Dragon - Capture the Dragon!" A deep voice suddenly rang in her ears. Guo Shiyi couldn't help but open her eyes. She saw two wooden dragons emerge from the ground, each biting one of the two swordsmen, dragging them into the air. They drew a beautiful arc in the air before slamming them heavily to the ground.

The other two people standing at a distance wanted to provide support, but they were whipped away by the wooden dragon's tail. Only Asmodeus jumped up and easily dodged the wooden dragon's attack.

"Who is it?" Asmodeus's gaze narrowed as he stared intently at the area behind Guo Shiyi.

A man wearing a cowboy hat and a leather jacket slowly walked forward and stood between Asmodeus and Guo Shiyi.

"What's the point of bullying a child? Why don't I spar with you?" The man's voice was deep, but he couldn't hide his anger.

"So it was you." Asmodeus's face showed a look of sudden realization. "I didn't expect you to chase me all the way here. It must have been really hard for you."

"Dad..." Guo Shiyi stared blankly at the back of the man in front of her. The man's voice was so familiar that she thought she had misheard.

"Is it you?" she asked hesitantly.

The man didn't turn around, but replied in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, baby, with Daddy here, no one can bully you."

Overwhelmed by a mix of grievance and surprise, Guo Shiyi felt as if she had suddenly lost all her strength. She collapsed to the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

The man, Guo Tianming, Guo Shiyi's father, pulled out a specially made military knife from his body and stared at Asmodeus expressionlessly. "I think our battle should come to an end."

"What an oblivious guy, yet he's so captivating." Asmodeus's alluring eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed dreamily at Guo Tianming's cold and handsome face. "Since you're so persistent in pursuing me, I'll grant your wish today."

As soon as Asmodeus finished speaking, the dark red chains attacked Guo Tianming like a shadow.

Before the chains could even touch her, Guo Tianming vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was less than two meters away from Asmodeus. A wooden dragon emerged from beneath Asmodeus's feet, its massive mouth opening as if to swallow the alluring woman whole.

The woman leaped upwards, and nine white fox tails suddenly appeared. Ghostly blue foxfire spewed from her mouth, instantly burning the wooden dragon below to ashes. At the same time, the nine tails, carrying rich spiritual power, shot towards Guo Tianming's chest.

Guo Tianming vanished from his spot once more, this time reappearing behind Asmodeus, his military knife radiating a dazzling aura as he slashed at her in mid-air.

In an instant, Asmodeus transformed into thousands of fox shadows, appearing one after another in his vision. A delicate fragrance filled the air, intoxicating the senses, and a charming voice rang in his ears, reaching straight to his soul.

"Brother, you are so cruel." It seemed as if someone was gently stroking his cheek, and a gentle breath came from his ear, but the sharp fangs reflected a cold light, revealing a murderous intent.

A heart-moon-fox-star pattern appeared in Guo Tianming's right eye, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating endless ripples.

"Heart Moon Fox - Purifying Eyes, Break!" Guo Tianming shouted coldly. A white light flashed in the mountain's belly, and thousands of fox shadows disappeared instantly. Asmodeus, who had been using a charm skill, had seductive eyes and seemed to still be immersed in the charm state. However, his spiritual energy was disordered and he looked pained, obviously suffering a backlash.

"I used the power of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Among them, the Heart Moon Fox of the Heart Constellation is a saint among foxes, specializing in countering evil fox magic. Don't try to show off your little tricks, or you will suffer the consequences," Guo Tianming said coldly, as if the battle just now had no effect on him at all.
