The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 223's. Gofan's Trap

Gofan led in front, the wooden token Mo Yun gave in his hand illuminating the path dozens of feet before him.

“Master. All the traps are up, in front there is only an altar with a human doll on top of that altar.” Haiwa floated on Gofan's side. Only Gofan could see it.

Moments earlier, Gofan had asked Haiwa to make sure all the way to the end of the passageway, thanks to Haiwa, all the deadly traps and traps were successfully avoided.

Gofan stopped and twisted his body, then in a slightly screaming tone he said, “Senior!. It's safe up ahead. Please come here, there is only a doll in front here.”

Gofan's voice echoed throughout the passage, the distance between him and Mo Yun's entourage was not too far away, as every interval of some time Gofan would definitely give a safe signal.

“Master. Will you allow that rotten baj*ngan to continue to utilize Mister?.” Haiwa was upset by what Gofan was experiencing at the moment.

“Now, let's just wait. There were five Mighty Stars among them, not to mention those Star Pioneers who followed Mo Yun, when there was a chance, I would definitely reply to those baj*ngan!. Come... Let's see the doll first.”

“Bokah!! What are you doing?.” Mo Yun arrived in front of the altar, he glanced at Gofan watching the human puppet that was before him.

Gofan turned his head while scratching his non-itchy head, “Oh... Senior has arrived... Haha... It's nothing, I'm just curious, what's this doll? From earlier he was just silent do not move. look... look at this..” Gofan banged on the human doll's chest, but the doll was motionless.

“Mo Yun dear. no need to scold that stupid boy, look he doesn't even know how to resurrect the External Totem, it's obvious the doll is a totem... I guess, the doll was a clue to get out of this dead-end passageway.” Li Xue's clasped hands, continued stroking Mo Yun's chest while his plump chest was not separated from Mo Yun's body.

“But, Li Xue... He had an Internal Formation Totem in his hand, wouldn't it be strange if he didn't know about the use of the puppet?.” whispered another Girl, who was also at Mighty Star realm.

Li Xue's eyes glanced towards the back of Gofan's palm, he had just realized about the tattoo on Gofan's hand, “Bokah... Are you stupid or pretending to be stupid? Try showing the back of your palm!.”

“I-this?.” Gofan in a doubtful tone, displayed the image of the Nine Curses of Heaven Formation towards Li Xue.

“Senior. Brother Fan is an Alchemy Master. He is not a totem expert, he just happens to get that totem, he really does not know how to use totem.” said Chen Feng.

“Supply!! Am I talking to you?!.” Li Xue snapped, her hands fluttering and a green smoky needle shot towards Chen Feng.

“Jarum Marrow Destroyer?!.” Gofan used a Great-Small Leap and lunged against the needle that shot towards Chen Feng.

From Jiang Kang's memories, Gofan learned that the poisonous needle Li Xue shot was the Marrow Destruction Needle. If Chen Feng were to get hit by that needle, within one day and one night, the entire bones in his body would soften, he would definitely die!.

Wuuzz.... *Jleb*Green smoky needle is right about Gofan's left wrist.

“Brother Fan!!” Shouted in shock Chen Feng, he did not know when exactly, but just as suddenly Gofan appeared to head off Li Xue's attack.

All the others were also startled, suddenly in an instant, Gofan had already appeared between Li Xue and Chen Feng.

“This boy!?..” Li Xue herself never finished thinking, if her needle attack could be blocked that fast. Li Xue laughed, “I know you have good body lightening abilities, but you are too stupid! Once you get my poisoned needle, without an antidote from me, within a day you'll be dead... Hahaha.”

“Isn't this a good thing? Sister Xue'er, she's already been exposed to your poisonous needles, there's no need to worry about her being a totem user or not. Now the only clue is that doll.” Mo Yun kissed Li Xue, the two, not shyly making out in front of Gofan and the others.

“... Xue'er's sister was the most skilled in the use of totems. Try it, raise that human doll.” Mo Yun added after kissing Li Xue.

Gofan showed a grimacing face in pain, but in his heart he smiled widely, “Only a small needle, this does not even make me feel pain.”

“Senior. Please give the antidote to Brother Fan, however, he has already paved the way for us.” Chen Feng blocked the path of Li Xue who was about to ascend to the altar.

“Enyah!!.” yelled irritatedly at Mo Yun, a flickering sword of wind repelling Chen Feng.

Li Xue's thin lips grinned, “Quiet down. He still had one day, why hurry, just calm down... Hahaha.”

“Hahaha..

“Hahaha All the others, who were in Mo Yun's group laughed looking at Gofan and the injured Chen Feng. Clearly, they knew Li Xue's character, there was no way he would give Gofan an antidote.

Gofan walked over to Chen Feng, “Brother Feng. Calm down, I'm fine.” then through an inner voice, Gofan said to Chen Feng, “Brother Feng, please have all the others step away slowly from the altar.”

Chen Feng was surprised to receive Gofan's inner voice, he glanced towards Gofan and nodded. Then after quietly giving instructions to the others. They were together, slowly moving away from the altar.

The girl who had previously suspected Gofan understood about Totem's control, noticed the slow retreat of Chen Feng's group.

Meanwhile, he and Mo Yun's group had been very close to the altar. Some had even gone up on the altar following Li Xue.

“You to-.” *BOOOMMMMMM*

Not long after the girl said, a huge explosion occurred as Li Xue was trying to control the human puppet.

Smoke and dust filled the room with walls of the glowing stone... Everything was getting darker, unseen, only the sounds of coughing and continuous explosions were heard.

“Bang*at!!! What is this!?..” Mo Yun's eye sight slowly became clear. His eyes narrowed and his lips growled as he saw six people including Li Xue sprawled around the rubble of the altar.

“XUE'ERRRR!!!! Tidaaaaakkkkkk!!!.” cried Mo Yun, his eyes red, he kneeled against Li Xue's body which was partially destroyed by the explosion.

“Uhuk.. Uhuk... Uhuk...” the voice of a Girl coughing slowly approached Mo Yun who was crying on Li Xue's corpse, “Uhuk... Brother Yun. It was them, I saw them moving away from the altar before the doll exploded. This explosion is a trap The boy.” said the girl as she gently patted Mo Yun's shoulder.

Of all Mo Yun's groups, only six survived the explosion. Mo Yun, that girl and the other four. Only three of the five Mighty Stars were still alive, the other remaining was Star Pioneer.

“Ning Rui's. Xuan Hong's... Kill them all and bring the boy here!. I myself will kill him in front of Li Xue.” growled Mo Yun, while staring at the Girl and the other Mighty Star.

“Good.” both.

**

“Where are they?.” Xuan Hong ran through the passageway together with Ning Rui.

“Pursue first, The boy has the ability to lighten a good body.Possibly already far ahead.”.

A few tens of breaths later...

“It's almost at the end of the hallway, why aren't any of them?.” Xuan Hong increased his speed, but his eyes seemed doubtful that he would manage to find Chen Fengs group.

“It is impossible that they can escape that fast.. If it was just that boy, maybe he could save himself, but for the others, it was impossible... We chase to the end first!.” said Ning Rui.

Several tens of breaths later.

Both Xuan Hong and Ning Rui had already checked all over the place, but could not find Gofan and his group.

“Where are the disappearance of all those Star Pioneer boys?! There's no way they could just disappear.” Time and again Xuan Hong scanned with his Mental Saint, but there was no result. Gofan's group's whereabouts haven't been found yet.

Ning Rui seemed to be thinking hard, before suddenly her eyebrows furrowed, “Sial!... They must still be inside. They must still be hiding around that altar!.” then Ning Rui stared towards Xuan Hong, “You wait here. Just in case they make it out, I'll come back and make sure inside.”

“Em...” nods agree Xuan Hong.

On the other hand, in the place of the ruins of the altar, a fight was going on. A human puppet was facing Mo Yun and another Star Pioneer.

“Ke-Chairman... H-how is this doll still intact?! Didn't he just explode!?.” asked the middle-aged man towards Mo Yun. Of the three people who were in the Star Pioneer realm, only he was still alive. The other two were killed by a human doll that they thought had been destroyed exploding.

“Shut up!! Just face him. This puppet is equivalent to the peak stage of Mighty Star, fight seriously, if you don't want to die!!.” Mo Yun snapped while resisting the attacks of human puppets.

The puppet's ability, not as strong as Mo Yun's, was just that, the puppet's endurance was ten times that of an ordinary human. Moreover, there was a strange golden staff that always blocked Mo Yun from trying to cut the human puppet. It overwhelmed Mo Yun to face the puppet attack.

*Pung!!!* “Arrgghh The middle-aged man was hit by a human puppet stick. He slammed into the wall of the altar room and died on the spot.

Mo Yun took a step back and set the distance between him and the human puppet.

It should have been a puppet lacking consciousness, but what Mo Yun was facing right now, more seemed like facing an ordinary cultivator. It doesn't feel like facing an inanimate object at all.

The puppet even repeatedly swung the golden staff that could change in size. Moreover, the two light dragon attacks also knocked Mo Yun back many times.

“Who are you?!.” cried Mo Yun, his sword-grasping hand still trembling after fending off the attacks of the two light dragons.

The human doll looks smiling, “Senior. Don't you recognize me?.”

Mo Yun clearly heard a voice coming out from the mouth of the doll similar to Gofan's voice.

Hearing Gofan's voice, his sword grip tightened even more, his eyes staring furiously at the human puppet, “That's you!? KEPA boy*AT!! I'll kill you! You must die before Xue'er!.”

The aura of the unification Star radiated from Mo Yun's body, “HIIIYYAAAAAAAA.

*Blazhhh*A star-shaped mark appeared on Mo Yun's forehead. That's the Mighty Star's trademark. It was the unification feature of the Star Soul.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! A large figure of a black smoke-red-eyed Soul shadow with a huge sword appeared enveloping Mo Yun's body. It was a Soul formation trait for the Mighty Star realm. The clearer the soul shadow figure was, the higher the level of the Mighty Star realm.

“Master... That shadow is middle stage soul formation..be careful!.” Haiwa said from inside the golden stick.

Right now the one fighting against Mo Yun was Gofan consciousness. With Haiwa's help, Gofan's consciousness manages to control the human puppet. Gofan himself was directly underground, cross-legged while holding the Jindun Pagoda. Chen Feng, Liu Ling, and the other members were in the Pagoda.

Seriate...
