To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The Sun Wheel and the Earth Flame Wheel, engulfed in flames, hurtled straight towards the bear and the skinny monkey.

Gu Fan's intention was quite clear: first pick on the weakest target, and then focus on dealing with the female cultivator.

But in the moment of crisis, the Dharma images behind the two flew out on their own.

One of the statues is depicted as a black bear, with white mane on its chest forming a demonic face.

The other image is that of a golden ape with red eyes and bared teeth.

Both of their Dharma images were ten feet tall, formed entirely of magical power. They dimmed considerably after being bombarded by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, but they did not disappear. Instead, they still had enough power to meet the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels.

The Dharma Image and the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels collided, erupting into a burst of blazing flames. The black bear and the golden ape each let out an angry roar, instantly shattering into countless fireflies.

As the Dharma form shattered, the two disciples of the Spirit Transformation Sect tilted their heads back and spat out large amounts of blood, their complexions immediately becoming weak and listless.

"No! You actually broke my Dharma Form!" the skinny monkey shrieked, his eyes filled with resentment.

The essence of the Transformation Spirit Sect's cultivation lies entirely in the Dharma Form. Once the Dharma Form is shattered, it is unknown how much effort it would take to rebuild it.

More importantly, the Dharma form is also a bond between the cultivator and the true spirit. If it is broken too many times, the cultivator will be rejected by the true spirit, and it will be difficult to improve their cultivation level from then on.

Gu Fan was very curious when he saw the Dharma Image detach from the physical body and move freely during his first battle with a cultivator from the Spirit Transformation Sect.

But after being entangled by the two's Dharma forms, the alluring female cultivator regained her senses and saw Gu Fan walking out of the forest.

A surge of powerful magic emanated from his body, condensing into a strange white fox with a flame pattern between its brows and a wide fox tail behind it.

The fox opened its mouth and spat out a stream of azure foxfire that surged toward Gu Fan.

At the same time, the female cultivator took out a magical artifact from her bosom, which turned out to be a pipe. She opened her mouth, took a drag, and exhaled a thick white smoke that spread rapidly, obscuring the figures of the three people.

Facing the foxfire, Gu Fan remained unfazed, tilting his head back and unleashing Samadhi True Fire.

Foxfire was a natural spell of the Dharma Aspect, and naturally it was no match for Samadhi True Fire. After colliding, it was as if it were swept away by a wave, flying back with Samadhi True Fire and disappearing into Gu Fan's mouth.

The azure foxfire didn't feel hot upon entering the mouth; instead, it had a refreshing coolness.

After practicing the secret technique "Swallowing Flames and Returning to the Source," Gu Fan was able to devour other flames to enhance his Samadhi True Fire. At this moment, he used the secret technique to instantly refine the foxfire.

At this moment, only two breaths had passed since the female cultivator exhaled the thick smoke, and the area within a radius of several feet was already shrouded in mist and clouds.

To Gu Fan's surprise, the smoke could actually block divine sense detection, making it impossible for him to confirm the location of the three people for the time being.

"Since we can't pinpoint its location, we'll have to resort to firepower."

Gu Fan flipped his hand and took out a stack of talismans, which he threw into the air and they turned into dozens of fireballs, covering the area of ​​the thick fog.

The fireballs landed in the smoke with a loud bang, and then the smoke cleared, revealing a tall figure holding an iron shield in front of him, protecting the fox woman and the skinny monkey behind him.

The bear and the skinny monkey not only regained their mobility, but their skin was also bright red and the veins on their foreheads were bulging, as if they were completely uninjured.

"Fellow Daoist, resorting to underhanded tactics is rather ungentlemanly," the fox woman mocked.

Gu Fan chuckled and said, "You first secretly conspired, then relied on your numbers to hunt, and now you think you're so classy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sun Wheel spun and slashed, bypassing the iron shield and attacking the fox woman.

The fox-woman nimbly leaped and dodged, and suddenly her demonic fox form split into three, surrounding Gu Fan. She opened her mouth and spewed out icy air, trying to freeze Gu Fan in place.

At the same time, the skinny monkey released a bone-spiked steel fork, aiming straight for Gu Fan's chest.

The three of them coordinated extremely well, whether they were holding the line, launching surprise attacks, or defending, showing that they had gone through a lot of practice together.

"The coordination is good, but the magical artifacts are a bit lacking."

A flash of fire appeared beneath Gu Fan's feet, and a blazing divine aura rose around him to block the cold air. At the same time, he transformed into several clones. The bone spikes and steel forks released by the skinny monkey pierced through his chest, but they were just a phantom.

Fire Spirit Clone Technique!

The fox woman couldn't immediately discern Gu Fan's true form, but with the simultaneous unleashing of the Sun Wheel and the Earth Flame Wheel, she had already struck at the white fox's avatar.

The bear defended itself with its iron shield several times, but the shield finally gave way and suddenly shattered.

The remaining force caused the bear to spit out another mouthful of blood.

With the iron shield shattered, the bear was no longer able to hide, and Gu Fan raised his hand to unleash another Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

The lightning bolt flashed and lunged straight at his face. The bear's eyes widened, and he finally made up his mind to reach for the dominoes in his arms.

A flash of jade-colored light appeared, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground. The bear was nowhere to be seen; only a domino fell to the ground.

Seeing the bear teleport away, the fox woman gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "Monkey, hold him off!"

The skinny monkey let out a sharp shriek and pounded his chest violently several times. Blood emanated from his body, and his figure suddenly doubled in size. His limbs became muscular and his expression became ferocious, which was very similar to his Dharma form.

As his body grew larger, the skinny monkey seemed to lose some kind of rationality, roaring to the sky and slamming his fists into the ground.

As a burst of magical power spread, countless earth spikes instantly sprang up within a radius of ten feet, forcing Gu Fan to leap and dodge. However, this caused the Fire Spirit Clone Technique to break.

The fox woman seemed to have anticipated this, and the moment Gu Fan appeared, she merged with the Dharma image behind her.

In an instant, his eyes turned into vertical pupils, his canines grew three times longer, and his body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of azure foxfire, which gathered into two tails behind him.

After transforming, the fox woman became extremely agile. Taking advantage of Gu Fan's leap into the air, she instantly soared up, her hands transforming into two sharp claws, enveloped by the illusory image of her Dharma form, and was about to tear towards Gu Fan's chest.

At the critical moment, Gu Fan slightly moved his fingers, and the Yin-Yang Wheels circled around his body and merged into one, blocking the two between them. To the fox woman's astonishment, the two wheels flashed with fire, and a fire dragon as thick as a bucket emerged from them, heading towards the fox woman.

The fire dragon rushed towards them, and the fox woman let out a sharp cry. Her illusory Dharma form grew three times larger and collided with the fire dragon.

A loud "boom" rang out.

The fire dragon transformed into a sky full of fireflies, and the fox woman fell to the ground in an arc, tumbling a few times before spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Fan descended from the sky, his two wheels disintegrating, ready to strike again.

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy! We surrender!"

The fox woman tried to get up but couldn't, and let out a weak roar.

On the other side, the skinny monkey, who had just unleashed his power, seemed to have exhausted all his magic and collapsed to the ground with a thud, immediately losing consciousness.

"What's wrong with him?" Gu Fan raised an eyebrow.

The fox woman took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to the monkey. After swallowing it, the monkey finally regained some strength. She staggered to the skinny monkey's side, bent down, and reached out to smooth the wrinkles between his brows.

"His Dharma Form was broken by your fellow Daoist. If he wants to use his Dharma Form talent... he can only expend his essence and blood."

The fox-woman explained, took out a domino from her bosom, clasped it with the skinny monkey's, looked up at Gu Fan, and said with weariness and resentment, "Fellow Daoist, you have skillful methods. We'll meet again another day."

After speaking, a flash of jade-colored light appeared, and the two disappeared.

Gu Fan collected the dominoes that the three people had left behind, bringing the total to eight, including those previously belonging to the Hundred Refinements Sect disciples.

It's unclear whether the extra three pieces were obtained by them from slaying demonic beasts or hunting down a participating disciple.

Just as Gu Fan was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the bushes.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a round, gray rat peeking out.

"Hmm?" Gu Fan immediately became interested and took two steps forward.

The gray rat tried to escape, but the Earth Flame Wheel suddenly shot out and slashed in front of it, making it dare not move anymore. It rolled over, revealing its pink belly.

Gu Fan placed the gray rat in his palm, recalling how the fox girl had used it to track the locations of other Spirit Transformation Sect disciples. He immediately said in a stern tone, "Take me to find the other Spirit Transformation Sect disciples!"

The gray rat squeaked twice, and when Gu Fan slowly approached with a wisp of Samadhi True Fire lit on his fingertip, it immediately cried out in terror.

Then he twitched his nose and pointed westward toward a forest.

"Very good." Gu Fan nodded, revealing a sinister smile.

He raised his head and looked in the direction the gray rat pointed, muttering to himself, "Now it's my turn to hunt down the disciples of the Spirit Transformation Sect."
