Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1329: Request for Aid

After understanding Gu Ming’s current state, Li Zhirui was no longer in a hurry to end the battle, because he could completely wait for the opponent’s Secret Technique to fail, then attack when Gu Ming falls into a weakened state, which would be easier.

Furthermore, Gu Ming’s strengthened power now was much stronger than Li Zhirui. If they forcefully confronted each other, it would be unfavorable for him.

Therefore, he changed his strategy, focusing on defense and entanglement, preventing Gu Ming from escaping and ensuring he did not fall into danger.

“Since you don’t want to let me go, then let’s die together!”

Clearly, Gu Ming discovered Li Zhirui’s plan and shouted in anger, charging at him like a massive meteor.

In reality, he had no intention of dying together; he simply wanted to use this to threaten Li Zhirui not to obstruct his departure.

But before he got close, layers of water curtains suddenly appeared between them, and a large lake emerged below, transforming into countless creatures to thwart him.

Gu Ming only had eyes for Li Zhirui, not considering these things significant or thinking these Illusion Spirits could be powerful, focusing solely on defeating Li Zhirui swiftly to end the battle.

But soon, he realized he was wrong!

The Illusion Spirits he ignored had strange and varied methods that troubled him immensely, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

“Break for me!”

In this situation, Gu Ming had to change his mind and spend time and energy dealing with the hundreds of thousands of Illusion Spirits, or he couldn’t get close to Li Zhirui at all.

But unnoticed by him, the lake’s surface area continued to expand, and the Illusion Spirits became densely packed, as if they had never diminished.

However, he, having attacked many times, had consumed quite a lot of Mana, and most importantly, the time maintained by the Secret Technique had already passed more than half!

“Damn it!”

Although Gu Ming realized it in time, the situation was settled with no possibility of reversal.

He looked at Li Zhirui with eyes filled with anger, unwillingness, but more so with fear!

Who would have thought the opponent could silently pull him into a desperate deathtrap, and when he became aware, he no longer had the power or chance to resist?

“Are you really just an Earth Immortal?”

Gu Ming asked unwillingly, as his strength after using the Secret Technique was comparable to half a step into the Heavenly Immortal, yet even so, he was still not Li Zhirui’s match, which presumably indicated he possessed even greater power?

“Absolutely real.”

Li Zhirui did not waste words on explanations, merely controlled the Divine Power to continue depleting his energy.

Gu Ming noticed this action and said with a bitter smile, “I’m already like this, yet you’re still so cautious, fearing I might escape?”

In truth, he did intend to attempt it, but the opponent’s response had completely cut off his thoughts.

“I never thought, after going through countless hardships and spending endless time, finally achieving my current Realm and status, that today I would die by your hand.”

Li Zhirui still remained silent, continually driving the Divine Power to attack.

After another hour, Gu Ming’s expression changed slightly, and in the next instant, his entire aura plummeted, his face became extremely pale, and his hundred-foot-tall body, like a mountain, collapsed suddenly, unable even to stand.

“If I would lead my people to retreat now, would you spare my life?” At the critical moment of life and death, Gu Ming hurriedly shouted.

“The outcome of this battle is already decided. What use is there in ordering the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance to retreat now? Moreover, would they certainly obey your orders?”

Li Zhirui spoke the truth, as in other areas of the Earth Immortal battlefields too, the Li family held the upper hand, just waiting for him to deal with Gu Ming, ready to assist in ending the battles quickly.

Then it would be like a flood rushing east, the momentum set, unstoppable!

“But if the battle lasts a moment longer, there will be more casualties. Do you not cherish your family’s juniors?”

The Li family was engaging in a field battle this time, taking initiative without the City-Protecting Grand Array’s protection. Even if they prepared in advance, casualties would still be more serious!

Admittedly, Gu Ming’s words hit the crux of the matter.

However, Li Zhirui did not want to end like this halfway, moreover, repelling them this time without seriously harming the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, once they recovered, they might come back again, which would be troublesome for the Li family.

“Your offer is not enough for me to spare your life.”

He rather hoped Gu Ming would swear like Chang Shi had done, preventing the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance from entering Shanhai State for a period, but clearly, Gu Ming would never agree to such a foolish act.

Thus, Li Zhirui left the matter open, allowing Gu Ming to decide how to buy his own life.

He wasn’t foolish, instantly reacting and said with a pained expression, “I can give you all the Spiritual Objects on me, including three Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects.”

From this, it could be seen the profound heritage of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance formed by the Ancient Remnant Race. An Earth Immortal could take out Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects, more than one even.

“Simultaneously, you must swear by Dao Oath that you will not harm me and the Li family directly, indirectly, or in any way at all in the future!”

Eradicating a problem entirely was always Li Zhirui’s maxim, but this time for the safety of his clansmen, he gave up the chance to kill Gu Ming, thus devising another method to implement his maxim.

“Alright!”

In a desperate situation! People have to lower their heads!

To survive, Gu Ming would accept anything right now.
