Chapter 877

Star snake rope amplifies star cloud grindstone’s power, and the imperfectly transformed fragrant sorcerer yin statue wolf struggles helplessly as it is dragged back. He Lang Zi realizes the transformation gave him only speed, not defense, and that Fang Yuan’s soul runs too deep for the wolf’s scratch to have hurt him earlier. Growling, he unleashes lightning, shattering the six ropes and freeing himself. ^{ch. 877}

Bathed in lightning, He Lang Zi transforms into the lightning flash giant wolf, another rank seven desolate beast, stronger and mightier than before. Fang Yuan notes how fast he converted his dao marks to lightning path. Knowing this battle is already a loss, he means only to stall. He faces two famous rank seven Gu Immortals while his own cultivation is only rank six. ^{ch. 877}

A huge lightning pillar bursts skyward, and star cloud grindstone can no longer hold. Fang Yuan’s robe tears and his body fills with wounds, but the lightning cauterizes them, so no blood spills to betray his disguise. ^{ch. 877}

The lightning flash giant wolf mocks him for daring to trap it and fires a beam of lightning. Fang Yuan answers that killing him will not be easy and splits into six figures, six illusion star bodies, letting the beam strike nothing. Hui Feng Zi wonders which of the six is real. ^{ch. 877}

The six bodies encircle the wolf with mortal killer moves, and He Lang Zi kills eight of them in turn, yet more keep appearing. Defending costs him rank seven immortal essence, while Fang Yuan spends only mortal-move primeval essence, a lopsided exchange he cannot simply endure. For the first time, Fang Yuan holds the initiative. ^{ch. 877}

The lightning flash giant wolf attacks well but tracks poorly and moves slowly, and Fang Yuan blocks its path to the cloud building. He Lang Zi considers reverting to the fragrant sorcerer yin statue wolf. But the same lightning move that freed him also destroyed the soul path dao marks binding that form, so reverting now would need a soul path immortal killer move he does not have. ^{ch. 877}

He Lang Zi’s inheritance is incomplete. Fang Yuan’s, by contrast, is a complete star path gift from Star Lord Wan Xiang. Without any wisdom path foundation, deducing a new move would be far harder for him than for Fang Yuan, who does not risk it casually either. ^{ch. 877}

He could endure Fang Yuan’s attacks while purging the lightning dao marks, but it would take too long. While he hesitates, Hui Feng Zi strikes. ^{ch. 877}

Fang Yuan’s attacks suddenly stop: a green feather sits on his head. Hui Feng Zi had turned an investigative move on him the moment six illusion star bodies appeared, exposed his true body, then marked it with a second move. Once Fang Yuan’s true body is known, the wolf attacks him with precision. ^{ch. 877}

Fang Yuan raises grindstone after grindstone as a shield. But the wolf’s lightning tears through them. He shifts his other five star bodies to distract He Lang Zi, but the wolf, with human intelligence, ignores the decoys and strikes only the true body. ^{ch. 877}

Caught between the collapsing grindstone and the charging wolf, Fang Yuan acts. He uses position star swap to vanish and trade places with an illusion body, restoring the full six moments later. ^{ch. 877}

The lightning flash giant wolf’s mouth freezes open. He Lang Zi’s gaze stops too, stunned for a breath. Position star swap and six illusion star bodies together are a shameless tactic that leaves both Hui Feng Zi and He Lang Zi speechless, with no way to counter it. But just as Fang Yuan and He Lang Zi reach deadlock, Hui Feng Zi makes up his mind. ^{ch. 877}

He turns to wind and vanishes with wind escape, reappearing outside the cloud building. A wind blade flies from his mouth, death wind flying blade, striking the top floor and cutting the cloud building in two. Wind escape is a top-tier movement killer move, and Fang Yuan suddenly knows who he is facing: Hui Feng Zi. He shouts for Lang Ya land spirit, who appears, grabs his arm, and vanishes with him on the spot. ^{ch. 877}
