Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 32 Remember to never enter a battle in your next life

The instant Xie Hua and the Dou Wang activated their Dou Qi, shock turned into horror. At that moment, their Dou Qi lost control, bursting out of their bodies and flowing downwards.

Just then, Gu He abruptly stopped flying, turned around, and with a thought, the puppet shot out like an arrow. The spirit weapon sword transformed into a cold light, slashing straight at Xie Hua. At the same time as the puppet launched its sneak attack, a flash of light appeared in Gu He's hand, and the Flame Sword given to him by Huo Yuhao appeared in his hand. He swung the sword and thrust it at the two of them.

"Die! Thousand Flame Sword Qi!"

At the same time, a wisp of spiritual energy imbued with bone-chilling coldness silently pressed down on the souls of the two.

Faced with the attack, the Izumo Empire's Dou Wang hastily mobilized his remaining Dou Qi for defense. However, to everyone's surprise, the instant Gu He attacked, Xie Hua's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He swiftly unleashed his Dou Qi, ignoring the increased loss of Dou Qi as a result. With a flap of his Dou Qi wings, he forcefully broke free from the suction force and rushed out of the formation's range. At the same time, he threw an inconspicuous small stone at the pursuing sword of the puppet.

As the puppet cleaved the stone, a strange energy burst forth. Although it wasn't very powerful, it successfully slowed the puppet down, preventing it from catching up with Scorpion Flower.

The Dou Wang of the Izumo Empire was already slightly inferior to Gu He in strength. Coupled with the loss of Dou Qi and the hasty defense, as well as Huo Yuhao's sneak attack, he suddenly felt dizzy and his body shivered uncontrollably. The Dou Technique he hastily used collapsed at the first contact with Gu He's Thousand Flame Sword Qi.

*Pfft!* Several fiery sword shadows pierced through the body of this Battle King. He let out a short, desperate wail, unable to maintain his Battle Qi Wings any longer. His body fell, breaking many tree branches in the process.

Seeing that the Dou Wang of the Chuyun Empire had lost his fighting ability, Huo Yuhao and Gu He did not relax their vigilance. They kept a close eye on Dou Huang Xie Hua, who had left the formation, and prepared to face his counterattack. But in an instant, their eyes changed from solemn to astonished. After leaving the formation, the old man did not hesitate at all and immediately fled in the northwest direction of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, towards the Chuyun Empire.

On the cliff, the two fighting spirits who had been stunned by the dramatic change in the battle situation finally reacted. Just as they were about to turn around and flee, they were blocked by the puppets that had not caught up with Xie Hua. They were killed instantly, one by one, with a sword strike.

"Hahaha!" Gu He laughed loudly, bringing Huo Yuhao with him as they landed next to the Dou Wang of the Chuyun Empire, letting out a fierce vent of the anger that had been pent up earlier.

"You want me to surrender? You want me to hand over everything I've got? And you want me to become the Pill King of Chuyun? Weren't you all so powerful? How come one of you is now cowering while the other is running away with its tail between its legs?"

"Brother Guhe, stop babbling! Don't you know villains die from talking too much? Finish them off!" Xiao Yan's voice came through mental sharing. It turned out that Huo Yuhao had connected with Guhe from the beginning through mental sharing.

Seeing the speechless Dou Wang of the Chuyun Empire, Gu He felt bored and casually ended his life with a single sword strike. Then, at Xiao Yan's insistence, he added several more strikes, using his soul power to crush Xiao Yan's fading soul. After ensuring there was no possibility of him rising from the dead, he took the storage ring from Xiao Yan's hand.

Looking at Huo Yuhao standing silently to the side, Gu He hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back, with countless questions in his heart.

After the Dou Wang of the Izumo Empire died, Huo Yuhao severed the mental sharing and instead connected with Yao Chen.

"Teacher, just to be on the safe side, please go and deal with that Dou Huang who escaped."

"Killing a Dou Huang who is determined to escape is no easy task! You are making things difficult for your master!" Yao Chen seemed unwilling to do this troublesome thing.

"So, teacher, you can't beat a Dou Huang!" Huo Yuhao was clearly trying to provoke him.

"I'm getting old, what will I do if my old arms and legs get injured? I'm not going, I'm not going."

"Teacher, after the damage from the formation just now, although it's temporary, his strength has dropped by at least two stars. My spiritual imprint is also marked on him. If you chase him now, he won't be able to escape." Seeing that his provocation was useless, Huo Yuhao started to reason with him.

"Although you didn't make a move, after he goes back, he will inform the Dou Zong of his sect. Then, following the lead of Senior Gu He, your identity may be exposed."

"How far-fetched is this?" Hearing the resolute killing intent in Huo Yuhao's voice, Yao Chen was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Are you worried that Gu He will get into trouble? Alright, alright, I'll go then."

After sensing the fluctuations of Huo Yuhao's spiritual imprint, Yao Chen chased after Xie Hua.

Despite the numerous problems, the first thing Gu He blurted out upon seeing Huo Yuhao and the other two was, "Why are you three in the core area again? Don't tell me it's just the few of you again this time!"

"It's still just the three of us, Brother Guhe," Xiao Yan replied with a smile, then glanced at the pink flames on the corpse and said, "Looks like Brother Guhe didn't get his wish!"

Gu He was about to reprimand them for their dangerous behavior, but looking at Huo Yuhao's calm face and remembering that they had saved his life, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Never mind that, Brother Guhe, let's see what the spoils are!" Xiao Yan said curiously.

"Sigh!" Gu He sighed, erased the soul imprint on the storage ring, swept it with his soul power, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"I don't need them, so I'm giving them to you." At this moment, the puppet returned, carrying the storage rings of the two fighting spirits. Gu He also erased the soul imprints on each of them and gave them to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then accepted the three storage rings without any polite formalities. He then asked Gu He, "Senior Gu He, what was that Dou Huang who threw out to stop the puppet just now?"

Gu He was taken aback upon hearing this. He had been so focused on the battle at the time that he hadn't thought about it carefully. Only now, when asked, did he realize that the stone, which clearly showed no signs of battle aura fluctuations, had managed to block an attack from a Dou Huang-level puppet.

Therefore, Gu He immediately picked up the split stone, examined it carefully for a moment, and then suddenly realized what it meant. He explained to Huo Yuhao and the other two, "This is a high-grade Na Stone."

"Can the Na Stone withstand the attack of a Dou Huang?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"Of course not, it won't work with Na Stones," Gu He explained. "This high-grade Na Stone contains Na Spirits, which are extremely rare and precious materials found only in high-grade Na Stones."

The gray stone was passed from hand to hand among several people.

Gu He continued, "The spirit-gathering space forms its own domain, containing powerful spatial energy. Once destroyed, this spatial energy erupts, which can indeed hinder attacks from a Dou Huang level. I didn't expect this old guy to have such a method."

Gu He sighed in admiration, then smiled wryly: "The Soul Absorbing Element is an essential item for alchemists to subdue strange flames. This piece is worth over ten million. He really is willing to part with it."

"Is it still useful now?" Xiao Yan asked.

"It's no use. If it's split open like this, neither the outer storage stone nor the inner storage spirit can be used."

"It's useless now..." Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and said to Gu He, "How about we give it to you as a souvenir?"

Ignoring such a trivial matter, Gu He tossed the broken Na Stone to Xiao Yan and then said, "Let's leave here first. Yu Hao just simulated the aura of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which may attract it here."

Xiao Yan took the broken stone and, with great interest, pieced the broken ends back together; they fit perfectly. He played with it for a short while before casually handing it to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took it and put it away. Then he activated his flying artifact, taking Little Fairy Doctor with him. Gu He, carrying Xiao Yan, flew together towards the outer edge of the core area of ​​the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
