C166 Subduing the Four Great Families 3
As the Patriarch, Qin Faang had always been an incomparably domineering impression in the Qin Family people's minds. They had too much faith in Qin Faang's fear, so even in the face of danger, the moment Qin Faang gave the order, these people all started to move.
Countless waves of mana from the same source were added to the fire cloud above his head, just like countless fiery red pipes, constantly increasing the power of the fire cloud.
The fiery red clouds started to expand once more, and the flame tigers that were summoned by the fire clouds roared in succession. The look in their eyes deepened as if they were about to turn into magma.
The flame tiger's strengthening finally managed to stop Gu Yuan's footsteps. Gu Yuan was also unable to break through the magma on his body.
Once Gu Yuan's charge was stopped, the surroundings would be surrounded by countless flame tigers. In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuan's figure was submerged.
"Ha ha-ha ha, brat, go and die! "Let's see what you can do this time..." Qin Faang, who saw this, laughed crazily. However, before he could finish laughing, his voice suddenly stopped.
Boom ~
With an explosion, the ground shook. The countless flame tigers surrounding Gu Yuan were blasted away by a force. A perfectly fine figure appeared on the spot.
"How... "How is this possible!?" When countless profound practitioners saw this scene, they all let out incredulous voices, and were dumbstruck.
With the support of the Qin Family people, not only did these flame tigers become more aggressive, even the temperature had increased by several folds. Even steel could easily melt.
They could not imagine how Gu Yuan was able to withstand the attacks of these tigers with just his physical strength and body. Furthermore, he was even able to break through completely unharmed!
Although Gu Yuan's body was in good condition, he was still slightly out of breath. The siege truly brought danger to Gu Yuan, but he wasn't as relaxed as everyone thought.
If not for his breakthrough to the Zongshi realm, coupled with the increase in the speed of his battle boots and the increase in the speed of his Invitation to Wine.
It was hard to say, Gu Yuan was already injured at this moment.
In the end, he even relied on the Spell's defensive abilities to knock away the Fire Tigers that were attacking him from all sides.
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Gu Yuan looked at the shocked Qin Faang with his cold eyes and said with an evil smile, "It's my turn."
Hearing Gu Yuan's devilish voice, Qin Faang's body trembled, and then he did something that surprised everyone.
This seemingly mighty and domineering guy had actually turned around and fled!
It was like a chain reaction. All the people from Qin Family saw that they had escaped, and the others did not have the courage to stop Gu Yuan, so they all followed and ran away.
Gu Yuan deeply furrowed his brows. His perception of Qin Family was even worse, and could not be bothered with the other small fish and small prawns, and directly chased after Qin Faang.
Seemingly sensing Gu Yuan's chase behind him, Qin Faang's speed increased.
"Die!" In terms of speed, even if Qin Faang's strength was higher than Gu Yuan's, Gu Yuan had the buff of his battle boots, his own strength was already higher than others of the same level, and he also had the speed of the Invitation to Wine. In just a few breaths of time, Qin Faang had already caught up to Gu Yuan, and he did not hesitate to smash his halberd towards his opponent.
Sensing the deadly threat behind him, Qin Faang didn't dodge. Instead, he gritted his teeth and took Gu Yuan's attack. He spat out another mouthful of blood and used the momentum to jump forward, once again distancing himself from Gu Yuan.
"Hmm?" Gu Yuan frowned. He noticed something was amiss. It seemed that Qin Faang was not running away but was trying to get something.
Just when the two of them slowly closed in and saw Gu Yuan's Fangtian Halberd raised up again, ready to attack, Qin Faang finally seemed to arrive at his destination, and his body fiercely charged forward.
After smashing open a door, he rushed in.
Gu Yuan rushed in without thinking.
The room wasn't too big, and it seemed to be a study. There were many bookshelves filled with all kinds of books.
At this moment, Qin Faang was no longer in the room. Instead, a bookshelf was ajar, revealing a dark hole at the back of the bookshelf.
"It's actually a secret chamber!" Gu Yuan was a bit surprised, but he walked in without thinking.
With Gu Yuan's current strength, even if there was a trap inside, it would be difficult to harm him.2
Thus, he didn't need to be too afraid.
There was a staircase in the secret passage. Going down, Gu Yuan walked at a leisurely pace, not in a hurry at all.
At this moment, Gu Yuan's five senses were extremely developed. He could clearly feel that the air flow in the secret passage followed one direction, which meant that there was no second way out.
Therefore, Gu Yuan wasn't in a hurry.
Qin Faang clearly knew that this was a dead end, but there must be a reason why he was so desperate to come here.
However, no matter what it was because of, it could not save the fate of the losing Qin Family.
Gu Yuan didn't think that Qin Family still had the ability to contend against him.
After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the bottom of the secret chamber. They once again stepped on the ground. Perhaps it was because they were too deep underground, but this place gave off a suffocating feeling.
At this moment, Qin Faang was standing at the end of the secret room. His feet and surrounding walls were engraved with numerous dark red lines that seemed to have some sort of law. It seemed to be a kind of array formation.
And in the center of the array formation, there was a stage that seemed to be carved from fiery red jade. Every time it flashed, the surrounding array formations would also shimmer a little bit, as if they were resonating with the jade platform and giving off a feeling of breathing.
On the jade platform, there was a lifelike jade tiger. Its entire body was fiery red and both of its eyes were glaring furiously. Even though it was a dead animal, it gave off the aura of a king of the mountains.
"Magic treasure?!" The moment Gu Yuan saw this jade tiger, he let out a slightly surprised voice.
At this time, Qin Faang was standing in front of the jade tiger with infatuation in his eyes. Hearing Gu Yuan's voice, his face revealed a crazy smile, and he said: "That's right, this is the treasure that I asked for after you destroyed the True Fire Command Token."
As he said that, Qin Faang reached out his hand to stroke the jade tiger. The jade tiger unexpectedly gave a response with an even brighter red glow.
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Faang's face as he said: "Although there's no True Fire Command Token that suits my Qin Family cultivation technique better, it's still a magical equipment. After entering the Spirit Realm, it's far from being comparable to those inanimate magic tools."
Gu Yuan did not comment. Back then, he had witnessed the power of True Fire Command Token and Qin Family, so he had to ask himself, if he were to face that situation again, even if he could not defeat it, it would at least be a draw.
Ever since he advanced to Zongshi realm, Gu Yuan's strength had undergone a qualitative change. It was at least ten times stronger than before.
Although this Jade Tiger was a Magic Treasure like the True Fire Command Token, and was even of the Fire Element, Gu Yuan didn't think that it could have the same effect as the True Fire Command Token.
