671: Liberation of the Incarnation
671: Liberation of the Incarnation
“Golden Crow Ancestor, let me tell you who Zhuge Qingyun is!”
Facing Little Golden Crow’s threat, Cangming no longer cared.
“Who is it?”
“Little flower, tell me!
I’ll burn him to ashes!”
Hearing Cangming’s words, Little Golden Crow didn’t notice the change in topic.
It felt guilty to Cangming and even wanted to stand up for him.
Cangming sighed.
He didn’t know what to say about the “little flower” nickname anymore.
However, he still had to answer.
After all, this was the Three-Legged Golden Crow, the true Golden Crow Ancestor.
He had made a huge mistake, and perhaps he could only seek the Ancestor’s protection to avoid death.
The exposure of the Ancient God Clan’s location would inevitably lead to a world-shaking war.
The aftermath of this war was not something he, as a young master, could bear.
Despite the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s naivety and foolishness, its strength was still not to be underestimated.
The Ancient God Clan had to rely on its power, and Cangming needed the Ancestor’s protection more than ever.
“Zhuge Qingyun is the current Guardian of the Six Realms!”
“In other words, he is the new incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of the Six Realms!”
“Now, do you understand who he is, Ancestor?”
Cangming said, gazing silently at the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
At first, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, in the form of Little Golden Crow, didn’t pay much attention to Cangming’s words.
The idea of a Guardian of the Six Realms was insignificant to it.
But when it heard the phrase “incarnation of the Heavenly Dao,” the image of the man pulling a bow and shooting an arrow flashed back into its mind.
The sun’s true fire on its body trembled slightly, and it shuddered violently.
It was a soul-deep tremor!
“In ancient times, wasn’t the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao destroyed along with him?
How could there be a new incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and why is he the so-called Guardian of the Six Realms?”
The Three-Legged Golden Crow still couldn’t believe it.
“Ancestor…” Cangming glanced at the Three-Legged Golden Crow and was about to explain when his mind suddenly jolted.
A sharp vigilance appeared in his eyes.
He quickly summoned the Linglong Pagoda and placed it in front of him.
Almost simultaneously, a flash of sword light struck the Linglong Pagoda.
Clang!
A crisp metallic sound rang out.
The sword light was deflected by the Linglong Pagoda.
“Unfortunately, still a bit slow!”
From the direction of the incoming sword light, Gu Lan appeared, stepping on the Azure Lotus of Merits amidst the dissipating solar energy.
In just a short time, he had recovered a fair amount of strength.
Although it was still far from his peak state, it was enough to cast a number of divine techniques.
His state wasn’t ideal, but his opponent’s state was even worse.
In this situation, how could he pass up such a good opportunity?
“But it seems you won’t be getting up anytime soon!”
Gu Lan struck again.
His Hongmeng Sword emitted a series of sword lights, each containing powerful Rule Power.
Such attacks were nothing to Cangming in his peak state.
But now, with nearly all his divine power exhausted and unable to use the Great Path’s force, Cangming could only rely on the Linglong Pagoda’s formidable defense, blocking and withstanding the blows.
However, for Cangming, Gu Lan’s attacks were secondary.
The real threat to him was still the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
“Hey!”
“Little flower, stop just taking hits!
Fight back!”
“That sword-wielding guy, he has almost no strength left.
To break my tiny incarnation, he has only a fraction of his power left.
Take him down!”
“I want to roast him good and turn him to ashes!”
The Three-Legged Golden Crow kept chattering in Cangming’s ear, incessantly making noise.
Even though it had only a trace of weak consciousness left, it still spouted the most arrogant words.
But while its speech was arrogant, its actions were timid.
It hid behind Cangming, only daring to show its golden little head to shout.
Honestly, seeing this situation, if it weren’t for the innate connection between such beings, Cangming might have doubted whether this was really the Golden Crow Ancestor.
“This silly bird is quite interesting!”
“Compared to it, Xiaoqi seems downright clever!”
Gu Lan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this.
He never imagined that the mighty Three-Legged Golden Crow, surviving from ancient times, would have the mentality of a scared child.
And it was still tough-talking!
Facing such an opponent, Gu Lan couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course, while laughing, he showed no mercy.
When the Three-Legged Golden Crow first appeared, he had felt some pressure.
If not for the opponent’s almost zero combat experience, it wouldn’t have been so easy to win.
Now, with Cangming in a weakened state, it was the perfect time to press the advantage and defeat him.
“My lord!”
“I’m here to help!”
At that moment, Lin Lu arrived on the battlefield, bringing a formation of soldiers to block Cangming’s escape route.
Gu Lan saw this and intensified his efforts.
With Lin Lu’s help, they formed a pincer attack, leaving Cangming with nowhere to retreat.
“This won’t do!”
“I have to find a way to escape!”
Cangming’s expression became increasingly grim.
After Lin Lu and the twenty thousand soldiers joined the battle, he had gained a new understanding of the human clan’s formations.
In the past, he would never have believed that so many low-level cultivators could unleash such tremendous power.
Even though his strength was now less than one percent, he was still far beyond the average God Realm expert.
Yet, these formations were able to block his path, making him feel flustered, which was a clear sign of their strength.
“Little flower, don’t worry!”
“I can already sense the awakening of my true body’s aura.
Just a little longer, and once my true body wakes up, I’ll burn all these insects to ashes!”
Behind Cangming, the Three-Legged Golden Crow continued to shout.
At first, Cangming didn’t take it seriously.
But when he heard the true body was about to awaken, his expression changed drastically.
However, just at that moment of distraction, Gu Lan seized the opportunity and struck the Linglong Pagoda, causing it to tilt slightly.
“Good opportunity!”
Almost simultaneously, the Three Clarity Incarnations, who had been trapped inside the tower, made their move.
A series of divine techniques erupted from within and without, and they managed to open a small crack in the Linglong Pagoda.
Through this small crack, Gu Lan’s Three Clarity Incarnation escaped.
With the Three Clarity Incarnations joining the battle, the situation quickly turned one-sided.
In an instant, Cangming was struck several times.
Even the Three-Legged Golden Crow behind him didn’t escape, taking several sword Qi hits.
“Human Clan, once my true body wakes up, I will make sure you die without a burial place!”
Even as it took hits, the Three-Legged Golden Crow didn’t stop its threats.
Unfortunately, it talked too much, and Gu Lan didn’t take its words to heart.
Just as Gu Lan prepared to strike the final blow to Cangming, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the void.
