After breaking through to the Sequence 6 [Grand Celebrant], Yin Yang gained two new abilities.
Invoking the God.
Dismissing the God.
Once again, they were two simple and straightforward abilities.
Invoking the God allowed him to borrow a portion of a deity's power, provided the deity consented.
The latter allowed him to expel the power of certain deities without needing their consent.
Perhaps this was the origin of the saying: it’s easier to invite a god than to dismiss one.
However, he couldn't use either of these powers right now. After all, there were several Demigods right in front of him; using such power would surely expose him.
But [Communion] and [Perception] were different.
These two abilities leaned more toward being passive.
As Yin Yang activated his Perception skill, the colors of the world before him suddenly became vivid. Guo Hang appeared like a miniature sun, exceptionally dazzling.
Several other colors were mingled on his person—those were transcendent items.
Among these items, one color was particularly prominent; it should be the transcendent item he had just used.
Once Yin Yang located it, he began attempting to communicate with it.
The higher an item's spirituality, the easier it was to communicate with.
In less than ten seconds, Yin Yang had established contact.
‘Your spirituality is weakening. Do you want to return to your peak state?’
Yin Yang opened with his familiar rhetoric, which proved surprisingly effective.
A single trick that works every time.
As soon as the transcendent item heard Yin Yang’s words, it displayed a sense of extreme impatience.
‘Be quiet first, and listen to me.’
Yin Yang’s communication with the item was very fast. Given the complex situation, there was no time for long explanations.
After he briefly outlined his plan, the transcendent item indicated it was completely fine with it!
This was the benefit of high spirituality. If it were low, they wouldn't be able to understand Yin Yang's meaning at all, and just explaining would take a long time.
Guo Hang didn't even stop to think; he turned and fled.
He had some confidence in a one-on-two.
After all, he understood Mr. Yuan.
But a one-on-three was out of the question, because he also understood Feng Xiangqian!
That famous madman had once charged through enemy lines alone with a single blade to break through to [Myriad-Slayer], gaining immense renown!
Although Guo Hang was also a Myriad-Slayer, he was in no way comparable to the other man.
Coupled with Mr. Yuan’s coordination, fleeing was the best choice at this moment.
Seeing him turn, Feng Xiangqian let out a sinister grin.
“Running away the moment we meet? How interesting!”
He had already lunged forward as he spoke. Guo Hang not only couldn't beat him but couldn't even outrun him.
Seeing Feng Xiangqian closing in, Guo Hang couldn't help but roar.
“Don't come over here!!!”
His face was filled with terror as he spoke, as if he were truly frightened.
But Feng Xiangqian sensed something was off; there was a hint of malicious scheming in the man's eyes.
However.
It didn't matter.
A phantom appeared behind Feng Xiangqian as well, wielding two wheel-axes, which he hurled straight at Guo Hang’s head.
Guo Hang cursed inwardly at the sight, dodging to the side as streaks of blue light emitted from his feet.
Clearly, his boots were also a transcendent item.
Feng Xiangqian wasn't in a hurry to chase; instead, he threw the other wheel-axe.
Guo Hang had just dodged one when the other flew toward him.
After narrowly avoiding the second axe, the first one actually spun and flew back!
Guo Hang’s expression grew increasingly furious.
“One after another, your methods are all so disgusting!”
“Can't you all just die!”
He let out a roar, pointing his right hand toward the sky, and the phantom behind him mirrored the gesture.
Boom!
The flames on the phantom burned even more intensely. This time, it wasn't just on the outside of the armor; even the phantom's body inside the armor was ignited.
In the real world, Guo Hang’s body withered bit by bit, as if an invisible fire were baking him into a dried husk.
“Die!”
Guo Hang roared and charged toward Feng Xiangqian.
His movements were equally swift, giving Feng Xiangqian no chance to recall his flying axes.
Pfft!
The moment they clashed, Guo Hang sliced off the arm of Feng Xiangqian’s phantom before his figure vanished from the spot.
In the next instant, he appeared a hundred meters away, his bodily injuries slowly healing.
Feng Xiangqian narrowed his eyes, knowing Guo Hang was using the time-based power of that transcendent item to treat himself.
Whirr—
A surge of green mist billowed from the emerald gourd. Upon contact with the phantom’s injury, it was mostly healed.
A sinister grin appeared on Feng Xiangqian’s face. He thought to himself that when it came to being shameless, the opponent was no match for them!
Seeing this, Guo Hang’s expression became even more distorted.
“Three against one! Have you no shame!”
Mr. Yuan sneered upon hearing this.
“You’re talking about shame after launching a sneak attack?”
Guo Hang was about to retort when his expression suddenly shifted.
He looked down in horror, only to see the injuries he had just recovered from were rapidly 'reverting'!
‘What’s going on?’
Guo Hang was stunned. This transcendent item was his trump card for survival and the reason he dared to use such a killing move.
But now that this item had malfunctioned, how could he not panic?
Even though the item had failed and its side effects had ceased, the fear in his heart was still plain to see.
Feng Xiangqian narrowed his eyes, wondering if this was another trap.
On the other side, Mr. Yu was very decisive, raising his hand to blast two bolts of divinity over.
Guo Hang turned and fled through the air!
Under the state of burning himself, his flight speed was extremely fast. Feng Xiangqian actually failed to catch up to him immediately.
After attempting the pursuit for a while, Feng Xiangqian flew back. After saying something to Mr. Yuan, he flew off into the distance.
Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yu also flew back, the former using the green mist to casually heal Liu Hong’s backlash.
He then looked at the wreckage of the car, his expression somewhat melancholic.
Their driver had died in the artillery fire.
In war, those who died the most were ordinary people like him.
“Thank you, Mr. Yuan.”
Liu Hong let out a long breath, his face full of gratitude as he looked at Mr. Yuan.
Mr. Yu looked around and asked.
“Where do we go now?”
“We can just wait here. Feng Xiangqian said he’ll have a new driver come find us.”
...
Guo Hang sped along his way. Only after he could no longer sense any pursuit did he stop burning himself.
At this moment, Guo Hang was nothing but skin and bones. If he had continued burning for a few more minutes, he would have died.
“Phew... Baby, how could you have malfunctioned?”
As he flew, he took out a jade cicada pendant.
The jade cicada looked like an ordinary piece of local jade with very common carving. It was hard to imagine that this was a transcendent item possessing the power of time.
Buzz—
The jade cicada vibrated, and in the next moment, it actually flew up, speeding toward the southeast.
“Baby!”
Guo Hang reached out to grab it. In his anxiety, he subconsciously erupted with all his divinity to give chase.
His speed was very fast—so fast that he caught up to the jade cicada in an instant.
But just as he was about to grab it, a massive black hand snatched the jade cicada first.
Before Guo Hang could react, both the black hand and the jade cicada vanished completely.
“...”
“Am I hallucinating from the beating? Where is my jade cicada?”
