Eternal Pill Emperor

No matter what, I have to leave now."    

This was the only thought left in Gu Xuan's mind.    

The continuous battles had almost exhausted all the energy in his body. He had even burned three drops of his blood essence.    

If he wanted to fight again, he only had two choices when facing a powerful opponent like Xia Houzun.    

He could either continue to burn his blood essence.    

Or use the Great Sacrifice.    

The former injured his origin, while the latter injured his Life Span, and it was easy to expose his identity.    

After all, the Great Sacrifice was too iconic.    

Unfortunately, even if they were to leave, it would still be an extremely troublesome matter.    

Gu Xuan raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky.    

There was a huge net made of Strength of Space that covered an area of ten thousand feet.    

The space under the huge net had already been sealed. If he wanted to escape, he could only destroy the huge net first.    

However, once he attacked the huge net, Xia Houzun would probably stop him immediately, and Gu Xuan would still have to fight with him.    

This was like an endless cycle.    

"You didn't say anything. It seems like I was right.    

I have also comprehended some of the fast speed profound.    

Next, let me see if you're faster or I am!"    

Xia Houzun attacked once more, and his body turned into a blur as he took a step forward.    

In the next second:    

There seemed to be countless Xia Houzuns appearing everywhere in this part of the sky.    

Gu Xuan's Fake-Breaking Double Pupils had already been activated to the extreme, but it was still unable to keep up with the speed of Xia Houzun's true body. It could only capture fifty percent of Xia Houzun's movements.    

Fortunately, Gu Xuan's Power of The Soul was already comparable to a peak fourth tribulation perfection stage cultivator. With his help, he was able to capture another thirty percent of Xia Houzun's movements.    

However, twenty percent of his movements were still undetectable.    

In short, for about two seconds out of ten seconds, Gu Xuan did not know exactly where Xia Houzun was. He could only wait for him to reappear in his senses before he could find out.    

This was an extremely dangerous signal.    

If even Gu Xuan was in such a state, there was no need to mention the others.    

At this moment, the Elf Imperial Monarch, Boss Tong, and even Xiahou Litian could only see the illusions in the sky.    

They couldn't see where Xiahou Litian's true body was at all.    

To them, Xia Houzun's speed was a speed that made them despair.    

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!    

Suddenly, there was the sound of air being torn apart. Countless tiny Flying Needles pierced through the void, attacking Gu Xuan and Elf Imperial Monarch from all directions!    

Elf Imperial Monarch frowned.    

That Xia Houzun had made such a big scene, using his extreme speed profound meaning to create illusions that filled the sky. The last attack he launched was actually a flying needle attack?    

This was too child's play.    

And it did not make sense.    

"What exactly does Xia Houzun want to do?"    

Elf Imperial Monarch couldn't figure out the key point, so she directly asked Gu Xuan through Soul Sound Transmission.    

At this moment, the Flying Needle flew over.    

Dang, dang, dang.    

The sound of metal clashing rang out.    

Gu Xuan held a dark green wooden blade in his hand. He blocked all of the flying needles and shattered them.    

"What else can I do? He's testing me!    

He's testing my speed. He's testing me to see if I can capture all of his movements.    

Don't underestimate these Flying Needles. I've blocked so many Flying Needles, and whether it's strength, angle of attack, or flying speed, none of them are the same.    

If you're not careful, you can make a move too fast, too slow, and too weak. There's a chance that you'll make a mistake, or even get hit."    

Dang.    

A crisp sound.    

The wooden blade in Gu Xuan's hand blocked a Flying Needle. The tip of the blade drew a mysterious arc in the air and raised the Flying Needle in front of Elf Imperial Monarch.    

"Look carefully at those Flying Needles. In fact, it's hair, Xia Houzun's hair!    

Every single strand of hair was an extension of Xia Houzun's senses.    

He is probing everything about me. Once he sees anything, he will probably attack me like a storm!    

Of course, this was not the most serious problem."    

Gu Xuan's expression was serious. With a shake of his right hand, a blade light shot out, shattering the Flying Needles on the tip of the blade as well as the dozens of Flying Needles around him.    

Elf Imperial Monarch roughly understood what Gu Xuan meant.    

Xia Houzun was using the Flying Needles to attack. He was trying to test everything about Gu Xuan!    

But this was not even the most serious problem?    

"What is the most serious problem?"    

Elf Imperial Monarch could not help but ask.    

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes.    

"The most serious problem is that I'm afraid Xia Houzun has already seen that I don't have much energy left in my body.    

That is why he kept using the Flying Needles to attack me. Besides sensing everything about me, he also wanted to exhaust me to death!"    

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes.    

This was a bad thing.    

But in some ways, it was also a good thing.    

Gu Xuan could not see through all of Xia Houzun's movements.    

If Xia Houzun did not have the thought of testing the waters and wasting his energy, he would have used all kinds of killing moves and big moves to attack, which would have made Gu Xuan's situation even worse.    

Although the current situation was not good, and it would only get worse and worse, at least he would have enough time to think of countermeasures and think of ways to continue secretly.    

With the cover of his sleeves, the two Holy Pills were refined in the palm of Gu Xuan's left hand and directly merged into his body.    

This was one of Gu Xuan's abilities as a Pill Monarch. He didn't need to swallow it. He could absorb the medicinal strength and energy of the Holy Pill from any part of his body.    

However, this was just a little slower than swallowing and refining.    

The energy brought about by the pill gave Gu Xuan a trace of confidence once again.    

With a wave of his right hand, a blade light fell and accurately shattered all of the hundreds of Flying Needles.    

However, right at this moment, the illusions of Xia Houzun that filled the sky suddenly exploded with an even more terrifying killing intent, causing the atmosphere of this part of the starry sky to drop to the freezing point.    

"Is he finally going to fight for real?"    

Xia Hou Litian's eyes lit up with excitement.    

He could finally see his godfather kill the enemy!    

"As expected, your control over the Intent of Speed isn't as good as mine, so you can't merge it into your movements.    

Although your senses are strong, you can only sense less than 90% of my movements.    

However, this has already exceeded my expectations.    

With my speed, if you can't catch even half of my movements, you will die!    

Not to mention ten percent or more!"    

Xia Houzun's voice was like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz.    

The flying needles that filled the sky suddenly disappeared without a trace.    

The illusions of Xia Houzun that filled the sky all flew towards Gu Xuan with different attacks. They were like an army of thousands of soldiers and horses!    

Gu Xuan's expression changed drastically.    

The truth that he had been trying so hard to hide had finally been seen through by Xia Houzun!    

An extremely dangerous feeling had already enveloped him!    

Elf Imperial Monarch's face had also turned a little pale.    

To Gu Xuan, that feeling of extreme danger was a sense of death that made him despair!    

"There's no other way. Even though I refined two more Holy Pills, the energy is still not enough.    

So what if I'm exposed?"    

Gu Xuan formed a seal with his hands, and an altar appeared under his feet.    

In this situation, he could only use the Great Sacrifice to consume his Life Span and exchange it for energy.    

However, once he made a decision, the problem he had to face changed.    

There was no need to think about how to escape.    

What he needed to think about was whether or not he could kill Xia Houzun. At the very least, he would have to force out Xia Houzun's hidden card before leaving.    

Or should he just barge into the Tong Family's camp and use the Transfer Array to return to the outer city?    

Gu Xuan's mind was spinning, but he still gave up on the idea of killing Xia Houzun.    

After all, Xia Houzun's strength was unfathomable, and he might even be at the peak of the fifth tribulation.    

Such an existence did not reveal his strength because he had some concerns.    

Once he forced Xia Houzun to be reckless, he would be the unlucky one.    

"Elf Imperial Monarch, follow me closely later!"    

Gu Xuan transmitted his voice to remind him, and the Hexagram Array beneath him became more and more solid. He was still prepared to sacrifice his Life Span!    

However, at this moment, Gu Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted as he felt a chill!    

He was shocked to discover that a figure flashed out of the Hexagram Array beneath him and instantly entered his body!    

At this moment, time and space seemed to have stopped!
