Dance Of The Phoenix
167. The Wickedest Method

"The Hell Region." Gu Yuena smiled wryly. His luck is bad.

Lastly it is placed in barren and dry land. Now the purple crystal misled him again.

Gu Yuena was rarely in the Hell Region, but at least he and Xiao Hei knew which way to go. He's not completely lost.

However, this place was really no match for Gu Yuena under these conditions. The region of Hell is where dead souls gather. It was the soul world gate that Gu Yuena used to open using soul force. The origin of soul power is closely related to the Hell Region.

A few years ago, Gu Yuena had an invasion in the Hell Region. Yang Xinyuan did not stand in his way, as the invasion was intended to collect 1000 blood. Gu Yuena was in this place for a short period of time and knew the intricacies of the place and the conditions.

There were many high-level demon monsters, even more so being the food of guard monsters. The guardian monsters here also had different levels of Xiao Hei and the Fire Eater Phyton in the Demon Mountains.

If Gu Yuena found one of them, Gu Yuena would not have a peaceful day. He would not have time to recuperate due to the injuries incurred from the battle once again.

It's too bad his fate.

Gu Yuena did not know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of her fate in the Hell Region. While Xiao Hei only walked in the direction that he thought was right.

Within hours, they finally came out of the forest. There was a path, they followed a path westward where the border of the Hell Region was located. Xiao Hei did not let out his aura and completely protected Gu Yuena from the perception of the other guard monsters as well as the people of the Hell Region.

The border of the Hell Region with the Ruler Region was the Spirit River. Anyone who wants to go in and out of the Hell Region must cross the river. The Spirit River is black, containing the souls of sinners as fish and strange soul-eating creatures. It's a dangerous place.

"Are you sure you can fly across the Spirit River? Should we use a small boat? With your condition, it will be difficult to fly freely let alone over the Spirit River. The Spirit River had a sky guard monster. Although their levels are a bit low, they are still dangerous. They will attack when you cross!" Xiao Hei was anxious.

"Do you think using a ship will keep me safe?" Gu Yuena snorted. "I don't have much time. Using the ship would take several days to arrive as it could not adjust the speed. The Spirit River had a slow current. The ship that crosses will travel very slowly, not to mention the disturbance of those souls."

"But in the sky—"

"The recipe has the same level. But compared to being on a ship, it was better to handle the flying guard monsters. I've fought them several times, so don't worry."

"They will definitely remember you after killing some of them. Miss, you'll be locked!"

Gu Yuena rolled her eyeballs. So what if he's locked up? He still had to cross the river because he had no other choice. The purple crystal had a portal opening pause. He could not go to the Mitian Plains randomly and return again to the Underworld in an unspecified place. Not necessarily the purple crystal placed him in a safe place.

Like when he first entered the Underworld, the purple crystal placed him in a fight between two gigantic sea monsters. It was fortunate that Gu Yuena was in a state of stamina and could fly high without being preyed upon.

Purple crystals always put him in an abnormal and dangerous state. Being in the Hell Region was at least an indirect mercy from the purple crystal. Right now, Gu Yuena was just hoping that she did not meet Yang Xinyuan.

Xiao Hei halted his steps as his red eyes looked at the black river current that was walking calmly 200 meters from where he stood. Looking at the dark sky filled with flying monsters, Xiao Hei sighed.

"Miss, beware!" Xiao Hei let Gu Yuena down and returned into the spiritual space.

Gu Yuena looked at the surrounding area with a slight smile, feeling like she was nostalgic. The difference was that he was with Yang Xinyuan and was flying safely. Then while with Huang Jiu and the other phoenixes, he fought in the sky handling flying monsters. The monsters must have taken a grudge against him.

Now that he was alone, the difficulty level would increase. Gu Yuena opened her wings and shot into the sky as high as possible. His back was a little sore when flapping his wings, but it could still be held back.

A group of monsters flew pacing in the air. They were like bats with gray colors and glowing red eyes. Their bodies are larger than a regular bat. If it were, the size of an adult human. Guard monsters with the size of an adult human were only low-level guard monsters. A guard monster with a higher level would have a body 10 times larger than these 'small' monsters.

Their senses were extremely sensitive and immediately found the position of Gu Yuena flying in the sky. Simultaneously, they charged into the red light that flashed swiftly past them.

Gu Yuena felt like she was in a time of air war and was fighting against many warplanes. He was as if he was inside a fighter plane that flew fast like a jet while avoiding collisions.

The way is very blatant. He was not afraid of these monsters including the higher ones. He was more afraid that Yang Xinyuan would appear so he would have to cross the river as soon as possible.

Gu Yuena did not use any spiritual power at all. He enjoyed fast flight without caring about the pressure of the monsters around him. The monster could not touch it, let alone capture it.

Some of the monsters that had blocked Gu Yuena's path were also unable to catch because Gu Yuena immediately climbed higher while turning and continuing on. Behind him were already many monsters chasing after him. It was as if Gu Yuena was the queen bee and they were her followers. Wherever Gu Yuena went, they followed.

The difference was, there were a lot of things thrown towards Gu Yuena who was cool to fly. Gu Yuena simply dodged without lowering her speed.

However, a flash of black fog suddenly spread in front of him. A larger monster appeared 100 meters in front of him and let out a huge roar that made pressure appear and suppressed all monsters including Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena stopped her journey, then made the protector not to crash due to the monster's roar.

A very big monster. It is approximately 15 meters tall in the shape of a black bat. His red eyes were filled with killing intent when he saw Gu Yuena.

"How dare you come again!"

The monster roared furiously and managed to make Gu Yuena die of lice. She was so big that Gu Yuena felt drowned. While the monsters behind him became increasingly fierce and charged towards Gu Yuena.

The small ones are already troublesome, let alone the big ones!

Gu Yuena continued the flight faster while avoiding the crazed invasion of monsters. The larger monster chased after, then used its wings to create a vortex of black fog that covered the entire area. Everything went dark.

The danger signal continued to buzz in Gu Yuena's mind. He was still unwell, but was already confronted by a huge and annoying monster. If he was at his peak, he wouldn't worry about handling a few high-level guard monsters!

The black fog continued to spread and contained a deadly poison. The monster looked for the very small existence of Gu Yuena in its eyes, then absorbed the entire soul from the river to increase its perception.

Gu Yuena was trapped in the domain and had used transparent magic to avoid being found. He continued to fly, but the energy fluctuations around his body had been sensed by that huge monster and he was in danger.

Gu Yuena lowered her flight to just above the river. The monster is still chasing. Gu Yuena flew in a way up and down a huge distance to fool the small monsters.

Those little monsters could not turn so sharply and suddenly that some splashed into the river. The souls in the river pulled the monster like a zombie and drowned it to the bottom.

Gu Yuena shuddered at him. Especially when those souls raised their hands on the surface, about to grab Gu Yuena who was flying a few inches above the river. Gu Yuena had to keep her distance from being pulled.

The plains should be near. The huge monster appeared in front of him, blocking the way. The river water wave was lifted by him and formed a huge wave that rolled towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena flinched and climbed upwards higher to dodge while taking a step back. He flew away from the wave that carried the terrifying souls behind it.

But this river doesn't let him get away with it. In addition to the huge omba, river water also gushed from below and sprayed the sky like a pillar of water. The number is not just one or two. Every time Gu Yuena passed by, the river water sprayed upwards from under Gu Yuena to make her fall. Gu Yuena kept turning away from the seprotan until she did not know where it was going.

The huge monster was extremely fast despite its enormous body. After a series of water attacks, dark magic shot out like a laser blocking its way. Gu Yuena was too shocked and spontaneously bounced upwards before her wings sprained and fell from a height.

The height that Gu Yuena was experiencing was not high enough to make her seriously injured. He could still lighten his body and find the plains before falling there.

Although her body was bumped to the point of rolling over, Gu Yuena was still able to hold on. He held his body with one hand, while the other hand held the magic solid before finally launching towards the monsters.

It is a fantastic experience and can only be experienced once in a lifetime. Gu Yuena was lucky to meet the mainland, or she would drown to death with a torn soul.

However, the land he encountered was not the real land.

It was just a rock connected to a cliff. There was no life around him other than rocks and earth. The wave of the river just now was enough to sink it if it had a larger size. Gu Yuena had even been cornered on the stone wall at the moment.

Gu Yuena's pale face slowly recovered after seeing the calm river. He sighed, then leaned back tired. He grimaced in pain as his back touched the stone wall behind him, as a result of the touched wound.

As a result, Gu Yuena could only duck down and use both of her hands to support the body on the ground. He's so exhausted.

In the middle of the silence, the sound of applause was heard. Gu Yuena goosebumps instantly and turned with her head up to look at someone standing on a boulder.

"That Xinyuan?" Gu Yuena did not know whether to cry or laugh when she relaxed her shoulders. The day is full of misfortune.

"Your ability is good enough to deal with the Bat Soul in an unstable condition. If it was someone else, maybe they would just be a meal before reaching the middle of the river."

"You intentionally? You sent a high-ranking guard monster to kill me?" Gu Yuena said coldly.

Yang Xinyuan ignored Gu Yuena's question. He snorted, then looked towards the spirit river. "I wonder what if he jumps into the spirit river, are you also going to jump to catch up with him?"

Gu Yuena cast a fist towards Yang Xinyuan, but her hand stopped in midair right near Yang Xinyuan. Gu Yuena's red iris was full of hatred.

Gu Yuena could not move her hand to hit. He lowered his hand in annoyance, then replied with a forced smile, "What do you think?"

"If you had chosen me then, would you have hated him the way you hate me now? He might as well try to get rid of you."

"Why did you bring it up? Don't you realize why I hate you so much?"

Yang Xinyuan was silent for a while. How is he unconscious? He knew and understood every time Gu Yuena showed a look of hatred before him, just like this time. His gaze was the same as the brief moments of death on Mount Huo.

But if things turned around between Yang Xinyuan and Bai Youzhe, Gu Yuena's only hate target was Bai Youzhe. Other than because Bai Youzhe had used it so many times, she hated witches so much. The events on Mount Huo will definitely happen whoever did it.

"Yang Xinyuan, you underestimated me too much." Gu Yuena snorted. "I might not be able to kill you directly, but that doesn't mean I really can't kill you. I'm not your daughter's Master anymore. You are also not Yang Xinyuan from the Hidden Land anymore. Even though I'm a nobody today, I'll still hate you."

Yang Xinyuan chuckled at Gu Yuena who was staring at him intensely. "You're right. I seem to think too much." He looked at Gu Yuena thoughtfully, then slightly smiled. "Then wait for the arrival of your protective dragon."

At the moment when Yang Xinyuan said so, the guardian monster that was previously submerged in the Spirit River was now rising up. His roar echoed loudly along with the rushing river water. Souls crawled on his body and fell into the river, while the bat flapped its wet wings into the air.

Yang Xinyuan said, "Gu Yuena, if I can't get you, then others can't."

There was no fear in Gu Yuena's eyes. He smiled wryly as he looked at Yang Xinyuan in front of him. Their relationship will never change other than hatred. Very unfortunate.

Gu Yuena looked very calm while standing on the rock. The Bat Soul behind him began to attack and would devour him with a violent air pull like the pull of a black hole.

"I'll consider expelling him if you change your mind." Yang Xinyuan seemed to waver when she saw Gu Yuena's calmness in front of the Soul Bats. After all, he still liked Gu Yuena and it was hard to harm her.

Gu Yuena simply pulled the corner of her lips lightly, before the pull carried her body into the air and approached the Soul Bat that was ready to devour.

Yang Xinyuan clenched her fists. He refrained from faltering when he saw Gu Yuena being pulled into the air and about to die in one breath. His mind's getting fucked up.

Gu Yuena did not say anything at all. He looked resigned and looked at Yang Xinyuan as if saying that she would regret.

The big mouth of the bat had already touched the tip of Gu Yuena's red dress. The pull grew stronger as his small body drew closer accompanied by a black mist wrapped around him in order to not be able to perform the trick.

Gu Yuena will truly be devoured!

Sure enough, Yang Xinyuan could not hold it anymore. He jumped towards Gu Yuena with a feeling of fear in his heart. His hand was stretched forward, about to grab Gu Yuena and catch her.

He mustn't let Gu Yuena go. He's gonna arrest that woman and lock her up. This was his chance to make Gu Yuena continue to be by his side. He can't let her go!

Yang Xinyuan managed to grab Gu Yuena's arm. He pulled the woman into his arms and pushed the Bat Soul back into the river to be devoured by the river souls.

However, the handle felt hollow. Yang Xinyuan seemed to embrace the air at this moment and saw that Gu Yuena's body turned into a flake of light like a firefly before it finally dispersed and disappeared.

The Xinyuan landed. His face grew even paler when he saw Gu Yuena disappear in front of his own eyes. He looked towards both of his hands where the remnants of the red light were flying.

"Gu Yuena ...."

He turned his head to the other side where Gu Yuena was standing with a red radiance in both of his hands. There was a cold smile on his face.

"Yang Xinyuan, goodbye." Gu Yuena opened the space and time magic in both her hands to open the teleportation portal. The empty space behind him gave rise to a large circle full of sihur energy, before he finally plopped down inside while looking at Yang Xinyuan without taking his eyes off.

Yang Xinyuan hurriedly chased after him. He was about to pull Gu Yuena's hand further away among the red magic, but things became transparent and empty when he arrived. The red magic disappeared, right before his eyes, again.

Yang Xinyuan lost the chance.

"Gu Yuena!" he shouted furiously. She's upset. Gu Yuena played him twice at a time!

Gu Yuena let the Soul Bats devour her in order for Yang Xinyuan to feel guilty and wavering. He used Yang Xinyuan's fear and love to defeat him. As Yang Xinyuan caught up to him and defeated the Soul Bat, Gu Yuena left using the space and time magic that Yan Shuiyin had given her.

He used two skills at a time, which would deal a heavy blow to his body!

It was only for the sake of playing Yang Xinyuan. Yang Xinyuan was furious!

"Gu Yuena, don't think of running away from me." A dangerous glint flashed across Yang Xinyuan's black eyes. The corner of his lips formed a cold smile.

Gu Yuena used the most evil method to leave Yang Xinyuan. Then Yang Xinyuan would also use a similar thing to get Gu Yuena to his side.

Got a message for Yang Xinyuan?
