Chapter 172 - Battle End

High above the battlefield, Lin Yan relentlessly pressed the two Mo Family Gu Immortals while quietly evaluating the power of his Immortal killer move. After witnessing its effects firsthand, he nodded in satisfaction.

Crimson Virtue True Body had abandoned its original Transformation Path and Strength Path Gu worms, replacing them with a large number of Otherworldly Flame Gu worms. It had become a pure augmentation killer move. Once activated, it temporarily granted him several thousand Flame Path dao marks, allowing his battle strength to reach Rank 7.

The only reason the two Mo Family Gu Immortals were still alive was because they came from a super force with a deep foundation. Each possessed two Immortal Gu, giving them peak Rank 6 battle strength. Had it been any ordinary Rank 6 Gu Immortal, they would have long since perished beneath the sea of Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame.

Having confirmed the power of Crimson Virtue True Body, Lin Yan turned his attention to another Immortal killer move.

Immortal Killer Move—Raging Flames Engulfing the Body!

Hundreds of Gu worms flew out from his immortal aperture and gathered around the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu above his head, gradually forming a gilded three-wick lamp. It continuously drew in the endless sea of true fire as two faint crimson rays slowly emerged from its three blazing wicks.

Mo Guang and Plump Lady had barely escaped the sea of fire before the two faint crimson beams struck them, causing their expressions to change drastically.

The moment the beams entered their bodies, their defensive killer moves became completely ineffective. Their thoughts and emotions instantly spiraled out of control, transforming into a towering inferno that burned directly into their souls. At the same time, the lingering imprint of the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame within their bodies, which they had yet to remove, erupted all at once.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Towering flames burst from within the two Mo Family Gu Immortals, instantly engulfing them. They became blazing human torches, their brilliant firelight piercing the sky as terrifying waves of heat swept across the battlefield.

"Argh!"

The two Mo Family Gu Immortals let out agonized screams. Their souls burned fiercely, while the Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame fed upon their essence, qi, and spirit. No matter what methods they used, they could not extinguish the flames.

Within a few breaths, both lost consciousness. Their bodies fell helplessly from the sky, a single Immortal killer move deciding the battle.

Lin Yan waved his sleeve, and a powerful suction force swept out, drawing the two unconscious Gu Immortals into his immortal aperture. At the same time, he secretly activated a Dream Path mortal Gu, ensuring they remained unconscious and incapable of resistance.

Lin Yan was also very satisfied with the Immortal killer move Raging Flames Engulfing the Body. It was not merely an offensive Killer Move. The Three Flavour Otherworldly Flame Lamp suspended above his head could also defend against Wisdom Path, Soul Path, and Enslavement Path methods. Integrating offense and defense into one, its true capabilities far exceeded what its name suggested.

After effortlessly suppressing the two Mo Family Gu Immortals, Lin Yan remained standing high in the sky. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, while his expression stayed as calm as ever, as though defeating two Rank 6 Gu Immortals had been nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone in Sandwell Oasis looked up at him with undisguised admiration. The battle had completely overturned their understanding of Gu Immortal. From beginning to end, Lin Yan had suppressed the two Mo Family Gu Immortals by himself, leaving no room for them to fight back.

Only after confirming that the situation had completely settled did Lin Yan slowly descend into the courtyard. He transmitted a message to the Huang Family's higher-ups, informing them that everything was under control and that he would personally handle the remaining matters.

Family Head Huang Ming, Shan Shayuan, and the other Family Elders finally let out long sighs of relief. In the three years inside the blessed land, the Huang Family's overall strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, producing seven or eight additional Rank 4 and Rank 5 Gu Masters. Even so, before a Gu Immortal, they remained insignificant. Had Lin Yan fallen in this battle, the entire Huang Family would have been wiped out.

With the battle over, Lin Yan quietly assessed the gains from this battle. 

Using Plump Lady as a reference, Lin Yan gained a clearer understanding of his current battle strength. She had once exchanged two or three moves with Fang Yuan before retreating unscathed. Yet against him, she had been completely suppressed and captured without much resistance.

Even so, Lin Yan felt something was not right. He knew from the original story that battles between Gu Immortals rarely ended in life and death. Once both sides were prepared, killing a Gu Immortal was exceedingly difficult. Unless the difference in strength was overwhelming or one side was caught completely off guard, most battles ended with one side retreating.

These two Mo Family Gu Immortals had survived for hundreds of years. It should not have been this easy to capture them.

But after recalling the familiar battle from the novel, he quickly understood it's not too weird. 

When Hei Lou Lan underwent Immortal Ascension, Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Fairy Li Shan, and Hei Lou Lan had already formed an alliance. 

During the ascension, Hei Cheng, a Rank 7 righteous path Gu Immortal, joined forces with the Rank 6 demonic path Gu Immortal Xue Song Zi to capture Hei Luo Lan. 

At that time, Fairy Li Shan, despite being a Rank 7 Gu Immortal, could do little more than hold Hei Cheng back. On the other side, Fang Yuan, who had only recently become a Rank 6 immortal zombie, relied on Myriad Self to completely overwhelm both Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi.

Looking back now, Lin Yan realized Fang Yuan had likely been capable of killing Xue Song Zi all along. He simply chose not to. And Leaving Hei Cheng alive brought greater benefits, allowing Hei Lou Lan's hatred to remain a useful bond within their alliance.

Compared to Fang Yuan at that time, Lin Yan's foundation in battle was superior. He possessed a true immortal body instead of an immortal zombie body, as well as more than four thousand Flame Path dao marks. It was only natural that he could suppress two Rank 6 Gu Immortals with his killer move.
