Absolute Death Game-Chapter 417 - 39: Fratricide

The three people outside the building looked at Gu Yuexuan floating in the air and were all stunned on the spot, but before they could figure out what was happening, Gu Yuexuan’s face suddenly twisted violently, and with a bang, he turned into a young man in his twenties with a handsome face.

"Ah, who are you?" Jingci was the first to recover and shouted loudly.

But before Xuan Zhenzi could react, his face distorted again, and it vaguely transformed into the visage of Xuanxu Zi.

At this, Jingci and Ji Xiangyun were dumbstruck, only Xiao Buli knew the truth, but at this time, he could not take any action.

"Master?" Ji Xiangyun asked in bewilderment?

From the mouth of Xuan Zhenzi, came a suddenly aged voice, his face extremely twisted as he bellowed, "Gu Yuexuan has committed a revolt, conspiring with demon folks to harm his master, disciples of Mystic Hollow Palace, come quickly to protect the law." However, the last few words trailed off into the voice of a younger man, and Xuan Zhenzi’s face also reverted to his own, but looking at his twisted features, it seemed he was in extreme pain; it appeared that the fusion with Xuanxu Zi wasn’t as easy as he had hoped.

Jingci and Ji Xiangyun, upon hearing their master’s command, picked up their treasured swords and were about to rush over, but suddenly a sword light flashed, and Gu Yuexuan appeared in front of the two.

It turned out that just now, when Gu Yuexuan entered the bamboo building, he did not go down to the basement for fear of being discovered by Xuanxu Zi and having the plan ruined. Instead, he stayed above, listening to the movements below. However, since he was quite far away, he first heard some fighting noises, but then he couldn’t hear them anymore. While he was hesitating about whether to go down or not, a violent surge came through, and Gu Yuexuan instantly turned into a streak of Sword Qi and shot out, landing far behind Xiao Buli and the others. From there, he saw that Xuan Zhenzi had not completed the fusion, so he quickly came to their aid.

Upon seeing Gu Yuexuan, both Jingci and Ji Xiangyun’s eyes bulged. Although they usually had a good relationship with their eldest senior brother, their master was, after all, their master, holding a high and respected position in their hearts. At this time, when their master’s safety was involved, how could they hesitate?

Thus, Jingci said to Xiao Buli, "Fourth junior brother, you and junior sister hold off our eldest senior brother while I go save our master."

"He’s not our real master. Our real master should be Xuantian, this demon has taken possession of our master’s body, impersonating him and deceiving us for so many years, you..." Gu Yuexuan suddenly stopped there. He had forgotten, Jingci and Ji Xiangyun were disciples taken by Xuanxu Zi after his soul possession, they had no concept of Xuantian in their minds.

As expected, after hearing this, Jingci was baffled and asked, "What Xuantian?"

"Second senior brother, don’t waste words with him, this traitor has betrayed and disrespected our lineage; what else is there to say?" Ji Xiangyun said from behind.

Xuanxu Zi managed to seize the chance again, with difficulty, he said, "What are you dawdling for? Come and save me. Use attack spells to blast me out of this damned body."

Upon hearing this, Jingci and Ji Xiangyun didn’t want to waste further words and prepared to charge forward.

At this critical juncture, Gu Yuexuan shouted to Xiao Buli, "Fourth junior brother, now is the crucial moment of the soul fusion, we can’t let them disrupt Xuan Zhenzi’s ceremony. Only you and I can hold them off now. You choose one and I’ll handle the other, how about it?"

Xiao Buli immediately received a system prompt: Trigger quest, the Mutation of Mystic Hollow Palace, choose the faction you want to join.

Choice 1: Xuanxu Zi.

Choice 2: Xuan Zhenzi.

Thinking to himself that the choice was obvious at this point, situation being what it was like an arrow on a bowstring that had to be released, Xiao Buli selected option 2 without hesitation.

Xiao Buli shouted to Xuan Zhenzi in the air, "Master, I’m sorry, but you know I have no other choice."

Xuanxu Zi was hiding within Xuan Zhenzi’s body, unable to converse; however, Jingci and Ji Xiangyun beside were taken aback.

Jingci looked at Xiao Buli with a mixture of shock and anger, "Junior brother, you’re also betraying our sect?"

At this moment, Ji Xiangyun was much calmer than Jingci, "Second senior brother, why waste time talking at this point? We need to save our master quickly."

Gu Yuexuan said to Xiao Buli, "We each take one; junior brother, you choose first."

System prompt: Event triggered ’Sect Brotherly Strife’, choose the character you want to duel.

Option 1: Jingci.

Option 2: Ji Xiangyun.

Xiao Buli didn’t have much interaction with Ji Xiangyun and knew very little about her skills; at a time like this, it was better to choose the known over the unknown. Moreover, he had just obtained four Exotic Beasts in the Immortal Realm, so he certainly had a fighting chance if Jingci were to summon her pet. On the other hand, Ji Xiangyun had always seemed clever and unpredictable, and who knows what tricks she had up her sleeve. So, after considering, he still felt picking Jingci was more reliable.

After choosing Jingci, Xiao Buli saluted and said, "Second senior brother, please forgive me."

With a move of his treasured sword, Xiao Buli shot towards Jingci with a sword light. Gu Yuexuan immediately engaged Ji Xiangyun upon seeing this.

At that moment, Xuanxu Zi regained control of the body again and bellowed, "Armored Xuan Lion, where are you? Come quickly and protect the law." Xiao Buli remembered the Armored Xuan Lion; it was one of the two guardian stone lions in front of Mystic Hollow Palace. If Xiao Buli didn’t remember wrong, both were deep blue Elite Monsters. Hearing Xuanxu Zi’s roar, Xiao Buli was taken aback. This was outside his calculations. If those two stone lions came to aid, he and his eldest senior brother were not confident they could take on four opponents at once. If they got entangled in the fight, and the stone lions managed to rescue Xuanxu Zi, then today would be a total loss.
