Chapter 1097: Killing Gu Chengwu Pt.2

“Yun Hu, you actually colluded…” Gu Chengwu wasn’t able to finish his sentence when he was swallowed by the powerful wave of energy that came from Shang Xia’s Stone Rod.

Shang Xia appeared and stabilized himself before nodding slightly in Yun Hu’s direction. Of course, he still maintained a suitable distance from the elder.

Yun Hu didn’t seem to care about Shang Xia’s precautions and instead, a light flashed in his eyes. He stared at the fractured space before him and growled, “He’s not dead yet.”

Shang Xia also noticed that even though the interior of the Guyuan Elysium turned into a region of chaos from his powerful strike, the power of the Elysium was quickly gathering to restore the damage.

Be it Shang Xia or Yun Hu, both of them could feel the enmity the Elysium held towards them the next second.

An Elysium was considered a mini world, and an Elysium True Immortal was the owner of said world.

“Can we find him?” Shang Xia released his divine soul to look for traces of Gu Chengwu. He suppressed the sense of rejection he was feeling to ask Yun Hu.

Actually, the person that was panicking at that moment wasn’t Shang Xia who was a foreign expert in the Spirit Faith World. Instead, Yun Hu was the one who was feeling a sense of pressure.

If Gu Chengwu were to die in that exchange, Yun Hu’s involvement wouldn’t be exposed. Even if it was, no one would have evidence against him!

However… If they failed to kill Gu Chengwu, the fallout between the Ascendant Faction and the Native Faction would happen immediately!

Regardless of which outcome it was, Shang Xia would be happy to watch on as a member of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

In fact… If Gu Chengwu didn’t die, he would stand to gain a lot more!

After all… Why wouldn’t he be willing to watch as the Spirit Faith World started to fight among themselves and weaken itself?

Yun Hu also seemed to notice what was going on and he grunted, “Of course we can find him! He can’t escape!”

After he spoke, he entered the region of chaos much to Shang Xia’s surprise.

“This old man is really risking it all!” Shang Xia mumbled to himself. His gaze shifted to the semi-destroyed Elysium and he thought about the things he could obtain anything useful.

It was a shame that a good portion of the Elysium had been crushed by Shang Xia’s strike earlier. Those treasures that remained drifted about the broken space and Shang Xia just grabbed them all without bothering to look at them closely for the time being.

Soon after… The region of chaos was broken as 2 figures emerged. Gu Chengwu was the first to tumble out from the space and his face was drained of all blood. He was spitting blood non-stop and he waved a Crescent Hook in his hand, sending out powerful slashes that carved out crescent-shaped tears in the space around him.

Yun Hu emerged the next second. He was also covered in blood and he had a sorry appearance. However, most of his injuries were superficial at best.

A round gourd hovered above his head and it crashed against the sharp slashes that had the ability to cut space.

As soon as Gu Chengwu appeared, he didn’t try to suppress the 2 of them with the power of the Elysium any longer. Instead, he attempted to open the Elysium to escape! He wanted to tell the Spirit Faith World about Yun Hu’s collusion with Shang Xia!

When Yun Hu risked it all to charge into the region of chaos earlier, Gu Chengwu knew that the Guyuan Elysium was finished anyway. As someone who advanced by relying on his Elysium, he would also turn to dust along with it.

Since that was the case, he no longer bothered about the crumbling space. All he wanted to do was to rush out of the Elysium and inform the other True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World even if it meant that it would cost his life. He wanted to tell everyone how Yun Hu worked with outsiders to scheme against him.

However… He seemed to have forgotten that there was another monstrous expert in the Guyuan Elysium whose combat strength wasn’t too much worse than Yun Hu, a third tier True Immortal! Moreover, this foreign second tier True Immortal was also a rank six Talisman Grandmaster!

Shang Xia might have been unable to determine where Gu Chengwu would emerge from the streams of chaotic space earlier, but the moment Gu Chengwu emerged, Shang Xia instantly activated the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman!

The most important function of the rank six talisman was that it could disrupt the space around its target, even sealing it off completely!

With Shang Xia and Yun Hu destroying a good 80 percent of the Guyuan Elysium, there wasn’t much power left for Gu Chengwu to draw on. With the activation of the talisman to disrupt space, Gu Chengwu, who was an arrow at the end of its flight, was stuck in space.

Yun Hu arrived the next second and slammed the round gourd in his hand forward. A powerful suction force burst forth from the opening of the gourd to absorb the remnant essence qi in the Elysium before devouring and refining Gu Chengwu’s Void Origin.

“You… You…” Gu Chengwu glared at Yun Hu with a venomous light in his eyes. He couldn’t even say what he wanted to.

Shang Xia didn’t remain idle either as his figure flashed once and appeared above Gu Chengwu. His Stone Rod tapped lightly on Gu Chengwu’s head and the aura of the second tier Elysium True Immortal disappeared.

Soon, Shang Xia reached into the void and pulled, dragging the Crescent Hook over.

That wasn’t all. After Gu Chengwu’s Void Origin was completely devoured by Yun Hu’s gourd, Shang Xia didn’t hesitate to keep all the treasures that were left behind.

Turning to look at the gourd in Yun Hu’s hand, Shang Xia couldn’t help but mumble, “I didn’t think that your gourd would be an Origin Holy Artifact…”

A trace of amusement could be seen on his face when he mentioned the artifact.

Keeping the gourd, Yun Hu chuckled, “Likewise… True Immortal Shang, your Stone Rod is also an impressive weapon!”

They exchanged a round of pleasantries but understood that with Gu Chengwu, a common enemy, gone, they were starting to become wary of each other.

“The True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World are definitely rushing over as we speak. True Immortal Shang, aren’t you planning to leave?” Yun Hu seemed impatient as he spoke.

Glancing at the destroyed Elysium around him, Shang Xia smiled, “This Elysium looks like it won’t collapse immediately. There’s no rush. Elder… Are you planning to salvage this Elysium and take control of it?”

Yun Hu chuckled in a hoarse voice, “Of course not. I won’t try to take advantage of small benefits like this and lose sight of the big picture. The destruction of the Guyuan Elysium will only weaken the Spirit Faith World!”

Nodding, Shang Xia fell into contemplation for a second. He eventually continued, “There’s actually something else I don’t quite understand. How did you get Gu Chengwu to bring you into the Elysium?”

“He’s too greedy. As a native True Immortal, he doesn’t wish to let others know that he’s carrying out deals with us from the Ascendant Faction. Hehe… He still thinks he’s smart… He thinks that he can make different deals with the True Immortals of the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World to sow discord between us. At the same time, he can also fulfill his selfish desires…” Yun Hu sneered.

“Alright, I understand. It’s no wonder he dug his own grave!” Shang Xia nodded in understanding.

With a smile on his face that didn’t quite reach up to his eyes, Yun Hu added, “True Immortal Shang, are you really not planning to leave?”

Shang Xia smiled before retrieving the last Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman from his sleeves. He activated it in front of Yun Hu.

The moment he did, the space in the Guyuan Elysium split open. Shang Xia leaped into the spatial tunnel that formed before grinning at Yun Hu. “Yan Wujiu must die too!”

With his eyes widening in shock, Yun Hu yelled, “Wait! That’s too soon… You can’t…”

Before he could finish what he was saying, Shang Xia’s figure disappeared into the pitch-black spatial gate. The spatial gate closed the next second and Yun Hu was left standing there with complicated emotions.

Not too long later, the depths of the Guyuan Elysium started to emit loud cracking and shattering noises. It started to crumble as Yun Hu also disappeared. Once the Elysium collapsed, their tracks would disappear completely.
