HCB Chapter 278 Who is the Traitor (2)
Chapter 278 Who is the Traitor (2)
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Yun Wukong's expression immediately changed.
At the same time, Tuoba Gui, who had just run up to him, quickly ran away again.
For a moment, Tuoba Gui stared at Chu Yunfan and Yun Wukong, his eyes scanning back and forth, unsure of who to believe.
Moreover, not only Tuoba Gui, but even the demon hunting team beside Yun Wukong suddenly left.
"Brother Yun, now that the person has been rescued..."
The rest is a private matter between you humans.
We cannot participate further, so we will take our leave now!
As soon as the voice fell, the demon hunting team disappeared from the spot without even a second's hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Yun Wukong's face immediately darkened.
At the same time, a smile appeared on Chu Yunfan's face.
"Yun Wukong, just now, we had already shaken off the people tracking us from the Succubus City Lord's Mansion."
Moreover, unlike the demon hunting team from before, the Succubus City Lord's Mansion has a pangolin that is even more proficient in earth-attribute than Tuoba Gui.
We'll wait here now, and see if the people from the Succubus City Lord's Mansion can still find us.
Then I can only suspect that you've revealed our location!
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Yun Wukong's expression changed completely, and his eyes flickered.
Then, Wukong retorted:
Why me?!
It's also possible that all of this is just a charade between you and the demons.
Their goal was to lure me out and catch me, the one who slipped through their net last time.
After speaking, Yun Wukong turned his head, glanced at Tuoba Gui and the others, and said:
"Don't listen to Chu Yunfan's nonsense!"
He was the only one absent during the operation that day, which resulted in us falling into the demon's trap.
Moreover, given his abilities, how could he possibly have rescued you all unharmed and so easily?
"If he's not the traitor, then who is?"
Seeing that Chu Yunfan and Yun Wukong each held their own version of events, and both spoke with righteous indignation and seemed to have sufficient reasons,
Shen Muyan was alright; she continued to choose to believe in Chu Yunfan.
Gui Yidao chose to believe Chu Yunfan earlier because when they fought side by side, he clearly sensed Chu Yunfan's sword intent through his own sword intent. It was an absolutely righteous and unrestrained sword intent.
In Gui Yidao's view, someone who comprehends this kind of sword intent is hardly the type to become a traitor.
However, feelings are something that can't be easily predicted.
Therefore, at this point, Gui Yidao also began to waver, unsure of whom to trust.
However, despite thinking this, Gui Yidao's body did not move at all, and he remained firmly standing behind Chu Yunfan.
In Gui Yidao's view, if Yun Wukong was a traitor, then it was just right for him to stand behind Chu Yunfan.
If Chu Yunfan is a traitor, then standing behind Chu Yunfan would make it easier for him to attack Chu Yunfan.
It must be said that Gui Yidao's calm and decisive personality is indeed in line with his status as a genius sword cultivator.
However, Tuoba Gui, standing to the side, was clearly not so calm. He looked anxious and shouted:
"No matter what, let's leave here first and return to the Great Demon Clan's main hall, so that Soul Heaven Martial Saint can take us back to the human race."
The matter of the traitor can be investigated slowly.
If we continue to linger here and are caught by the demons, we're doomed!
To be honest, Tuoba Gui's suggestion was indeed the safest option.
However, Chu Yunfan wanted to see if the demons would catch up, in order to verify Yun Wukong's identity as a traitor.
Moreover, Chu Yunfan has a backup plan, so he's not worried about not being able to escape.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan did not agree to Tuoba Gui's suggestion.
When Yun Wukong heard Tuoba Gui's suggestion, his expression clearly changed.
However, seeing that Chu Yunfan did not agree to leave first, his expression immediately returned to normal, and he remained silent just like Chu Yunfan.
Upon seeing Chu Yunfan and Yun Wukong's reactions, Tuoba Gui immediately lost his temper.
"You two like to compete, so keep it to yourself and don't drag others into it!"
After shouting this, Tuoba Gui turned to look at Gui Yidao and Shen Muyan.
"Since neither of them is leaving, we'll go first!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Yidao's expression changed, and he seemed somewhat tempted.
Shen Muyan, however, shook her head and refused.
"You can go now. I trust Senior Brother Yunfan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan suddenly turned to Shen Muyan and said:
"Junior Sister Shen, it's too dangerous here."
You, Gui Yidao, and Tuoba Gui, should leave first.
Don't worry, I'll be fine!
"No, let's go together!"
Shen Muyan clearly didn't want to abandon Chu Yunfan and run away alone.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfan still wanted to persuade him.
However, at that moment, a loud bang was heard, and the ground above Chu Yunfan and the others suddenly exploded.
At the same time, a giant black fist, as large as a mountain and composed entirely of demonic energy, was falling down from above Chu Yunfan and the others.
The ground explosion just now was merely the aftershock of that giant black demonic fist.
"Run!"
While shouting, Tuoba Gui used his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique) to try to move everyone away.
However, what Tuoba Gui did not expect was that this giant black demonic fist was unleashed by a powerhouse at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm, containing extremely strong power rules.
Under the pressure of this force, the nearby soil became as hard as iron.
Their bodies were also so compressed that they were completely unable to move.
His earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique was also unable to be used.
Upon noticing this, Tuoba Gui's expression changed immediately, and he turned to look at Yun Wukong.
"Hurry! Use space travel!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Wukong turned his head and glanced at Tuoba Gui, while simultaneously casting hand seals to activate his spatial teleportation technique.
Unfortunately, Yun Wukong only teleported himself away.
Tuoba Gui and Chu Yunfan remained where they were.
"Holy crap! You son of a bitch, Yun Wukong!"
Tuoba Gui roared inwardly, and without any hesitation, immediately unleashed his final move.
"Solid and Rock Holy Shield!"
With a low exclamation from Tuoba Gui.
A thick shield radiating an earthy yellow aura appeared above his head, and then expanded countless times in the blink of an eye, completely blocking the mountain-sized black demonic fist.
When Tuoba Gui was captured by the demons, all his belongings had been taken from him.
Only this sacred shield of rock and earth, because it is a sacred artifact, was preserved because Tuoba Gui hid it directly inside his body.
However, this giant black demonic fist was, after all, made by a peak Demon Emperor realm expert.
With Tuoba Gui's cultivation at the early stage of the Martial King realm, even wielding a sacred artifact, he could not withstand it.
Suddenly, a loud thud was heard, and the Earth Shield began to shake violently.
Immediately afterwards, the volume of the Rock and Soil Holy Shield shrank dramatically, and it automatically burrowed back into Tuoba Gui's body.
But, right now.
A powerful gray blade of light suddenly appeared behind Chu Yunfan, continuing to meet the descending black demonic fist.
The one who made the move was naturally Gui Yidao.
And in his hand, a sacred longsword had appeared without his knowledge.
This sacred longsword is surrounded by a gray blade of light, giving it an eerie yet powerful feel.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan remained calm, standing still without making any move, only looking at the spot where Yun Wukong had disappeared, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
