there was no way he could resist the might of Lei Ji Tianzhu, let alone escape Dao Yu."Haha, well said!" Xuedongliu suddenly burst into laughter again. "As long as you do what I say, there might stil...This sudden sound sent a shiver down everyone's spine, even Jiang Yun was no exception. They all turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.

In the void, a writhing cloud of blood appeared, and from within it emerged a middle-aged man—the descendant of that emperor! But at this moment, at least from Jiang Yun's eyes, he seemed to have completely transformed back into a human.

Not only had the passage that connected him vanished without a trace, but the lower half of his body was also free of the densely packed, blood-smelling patterns that Jiang Yun had seen before, patterns that could affect one's mind.

This makes the man's strength far inferior to his after merging with the passage.

Even so, Jiang Yun's face was unusually grave.

Because the other party's displayed cultivation realm reached the emperor level! If it were just an ordinary emperor-level expert, Jiang Yun's Nine Nines Unified Art could still have a chance of winning.

With the help of thirty-eight guards, including Shen Zhaochun, they might even be able to defeat him.

But Jiang Yun was very clear that the other party was definitely at the peak of the imperial level, and the distance to becoming a quasi-emperor should not be far away.

Moreover, even though the passage didn't appear with him, Jiang Yun didn't dare guarantee that his attacks wouldn't be transmitted back to the passage by the other party.

In short, facing this person, Ginger Cloud's heart truly had no chance of winning.

The middle-aged man's gaze did not look at anyone else, he just stared fixedly at Jiang Yun, a strange smile slowly appearing on his face and said: "I said, you can't escape!"

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Your passageway should not be fully opened yet, right"

"If we are willing to be at your disposal, to help you clear the path, perhaps you could show mercy and spare our lives"

Upon hearing Gingercloud's words, not only did the man startle slightly, but even Shen Zhaojun and many of the guards present looked puzzled.

Obviously, they couldn't understand why Jiang Yun would ask such a question at this time.

In their perception, Ginger Cloud was not the kind of person who was afraid of death! The man immediately came to his senses and sneered coldly: "Even if I haven't broken through, there's no need for you to die for me."

It's too late to ask for mercy now.

A regretful expression appeared on Jiang Yun's face, but his voice transmission rang in the ears of the thirty-eight guards: "His passage should not have been opened yet."

"Logically speaking, opening the passage was his top priority. Now, to kill us, he's even temporarily put the passage aside."

This means that three days later, other guards should come to take us.

He has to kill us first and silence us, so he can keep his secret. He’ll wait until our guards arrive, then leave this place as a victor.

That means, as long as we hold out for three days, there's a chance we could be rescued!

Hearing Ginger Cloud's voice transmission, Shen Chaojun and the others finally understood. They realized that Ginger Cloud had deliberately pretended to beg for mercy earlier, all in order to get information out of them.

Although they admired Gingercloud's meticulous thoughts, one by one their faces showed wry smiles.

Facing a peak Imperial God Realm expert, their thirty-nine people combined, wouldn't be able to last even thirty breaths, let alone three days.

And at this time, Jiang Yun's voice once again sounded: "Everyone, if you trust me, then temporarily open your bodies. My power will enter your bodies, allowing me to gain control of your bodies."

"I've mastered a formation that can boost our strength, but I don't have time to explain it all now. So, I'll control your bodies to form the formation and counter this person."

But to be frank, I can only try my best to delay the time and there's no guarantee that we'll be able to last for three days together.

Jiang Yun's request made the thirty-eight guards look at each other again.

To know, to let another's power enter one's own body, that is absolutely a great threat.

If others want to harm themselves, there is no way to resist.

However, they soon had a response.

Shen Zhaozhun spoke first: "My life was saved by Brother Fan, and of course I trust you. My body is in your control."

"Besides, I'm a man of great strength, not a frail woman, so Brother Fan needn't have any pity for me or treat me with tenderness. Do whatever you wish."

"Even if I have to blow myself up, it's no problem!"

Shen Zhaozun said this with a hint of teasing, not only in Jiang Yun's ear but also in the ears of the other guards.

Of course, this was because Shen Zhaojun was worried that others wouldn't believe Jiang Yun, so he deliberately stepped forward to lead the way, expressing his attitude, and hoping that others would also believe Jiang Yun.

As soon as Shen Chaojun's voice fell, Li Mo quickly followed with a hearty laugh: "What Senior Brother Shen said is right."

"If it wasn't for Fanxiong, I, Li Mo, would have long since turned into a mound of yellow earth. Being able to live this long is already a blessing."

"Now, my body is also given to Brother Fan's control. Use it however you want!"

After Li Mo, the other thirty-six guards looked at each other and then spoke one after another, all willing to trust Jiang Yun unconditionally and give him control of their bodies.

As Shen Chaojun and Li Mo said, let alone the possibility of Jiang Yun leading them to safety, even just Jiang Yun's life-saving grace would make them willing to believe in him.

"Okay, thank you all for your trust. Fan will do his best to live up to your expectations!"

"I'm starting now!"

At the moment Jiang Yun's voice fell, thirty-eight wisps of spiritual energy had already separated from within his body and surged into the bodies of the thirty-eight guards! As expected, none of the thirty-eight men resisted! Next, they could clearly feel the power that Jiang Yun had sent into their bodies suddenly explode.

The burst of energy did not harm them in any way, but transformed into countless thin threads of spiritual energy, densely connecting every part of their bodies.

This made them realize that the thirty-eight of them had already become puppets, temporarily losing control over their own bodies.

The next moment, the bodies of thirty-eight people moved simultaneously.

In teams of nine, they instantly formed four formations.

And Ginger Cloud, Shen Zhaojun, and Li Mo formed a small formation in the middle.

Four formations, connected head to tail, unexpectedly converged into one, forming a unique formation resembling a wheel that slowly began to turn.

But Jiang Yun, who was right in the center, although incredibly calm at this moment, couldn't help but feel a tinge of nostalgia in his heart.

Because of this kind of situation, he had done it many times before. The memory that stuck with him the most was from a dream in the Nine Desolate Lands. In the wilderness tribe, he became a guard captain, leading a squad of wilderness tribe members to form battle formations and fight against others.

The reason he suddenly thought of using this method to fight against the middle-aged men was because Jiang Yun had just seen the formation of these thirty-eight guards from the air, which reminded him of his dream experience.

Now the formation he's set up is naturally his most adept, the Nine Blood Linked Array! This array can make the strength of everyone forming it double.

However, Ginger Cloud was very clear that even with the formation, relying on these guards who only had the cultivation of the Fourth Realm of Breaking the Law, it would be impossible to be a match for the middle-aged man.

Therefore, a mark of the Wilderness appeared on his brow! The mark spread at an incredible speed, covering his entire body before extending outward, engulfing the thirty-eight guards and transforming them into Wilderness Slaves with a single imprint. The power of the Wilderness could ignore most magical and divine attacks.

Although Gingercloud didn't know if her powers would still be effective against a powerful opponent like Emperor Extreme, having the power of the wasteland at her disposal would at least give her a few more chances of winning.y couldn't find Hai Changsheng, Jiang Yun naturally had no choice but to give up. He turned and returned to the side of the ninety-nine people, and called for the Snow Lotus Clan members to help check...
