NOVPUBProtective Gang Qi shattered.
Duan Ping didn’t look back as he tried to flee from the Divine Fist Sect.
But unfortunately for him,
just as his body had leaped up, the flash of a blade’s light cleaved him in two in a fleeting moment.
Blood sprayed across the heavens and earth.
An Innate Grandmaster had perished on the spot.
"Weak!"
"Truly too weak!"
Gu Qingfeng showed a look of disappointment. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
He had thought that Duan Ping, being an Innate Grandmaster, would bring him some surprise, but he never expected that the latter’s strength would be several levels inferior even compared to Shen Wudao.
At least,
Shen Wudao, though dead, had managed to fight a great battle against him.
As for Duan Ping,
he was directly slain upon first encounter.
Any previous trepidation that Gu Qingfeng had towards Innate Grandmasters now directly collapsed.
It was true that Masters were stronger than the average Refining Organ Little Master, but not as fearsome as Gu Qingfeng had anticipated.
However,
it also had to do with Duan Ping not having undergone Evil Refining.
If the latter had Refined Evil and imitated Shen Wudao, then the combination of Magician and Martial Arts powers might have made a difference.
"Manor master’s divine might is unmatched!"
Gu Peng immediately offered his praises, his face full of reverence.
To kill a Master with a single blade strike!
How many in the Martial World could achieve this feat?
Such a powerhouse was the one he had always followed.
Other Outer Hall disciples also trembled in their hearts upon witnessing this scene, their eyes full of awe and worship as they looked toward Gu Qingfeng.
In a chaotic world,
the powerful were honored.
The stronger the power displayed by Gu Qingfeng, the safer they felt.
To follow such a powerhouse was indeed a great fortune in life.
Stepping over the bones of many Divine Fist Sect martial artists,
Gu Qingfeng’s garment was not stained with a hint of blood.
Long blade sheathed,
he slowly spoke, "Search through the entire Divine Fist Sect. Put an end to any survivors you find, and move all the sect treasures back to Gu Family Manor. The families of those who died or were injured in this battle will be compensated by the manor!"
"Yes!"
The crowd accepted the command.
Immediately,
Gu Peng led other disciples into the Divine Fist Sect, starting the grim work of silencing the remaining and plundering the sect.
---
In the Divine Fist Sect.
Inside the main hall of the sect.
Gu Qingfeng sat upon the throne once occupied by the Sect Master, beneath him sealed within a Golden Coffin was Vajra Buddha.
The coffin was covered with fresh blood, each drop infused with an extremely potent and fiery essence. This was the Pure Yang Qi Blood refined by Gu Qingfeng.
It was what he had consolidated beyond the limits set by the Green Sun Skills.
After all,
the Green Sun Skills were merely superior Martial Arts, the Pure Yang Qi derived from it could not suppress such an Evil Spirit.
But Gu Qingfeng, with numerous Martial Arts in his arsenal, had refined his Qi Blood countless times, yielding a Pure Yang Qi Blood much more formidable than what was cultivated through the Green Sun Skills.
The two in comparison
were like the difference between a bright moon and fireflies.
"In other words, my current Qi Blood strength is now even more terrifying than a typical Qi Blood Master’s!"
Gu Qingfeng muttered to himself, reflecting on his battle with Shen Wudao, he felt he had gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.
In the past,
Gu Qingfeng had steadily increased his power, seldom having a real opportunity to strike.
And every time he did strike,
it typically ended in instantaneous victory.
He had not truly encountered a strong adversary that could really fight him.
Not until this time.
Fighting that centuries-old Master from the Divine Fist Sect truly made Gu Qingfeng realize at what remarkable stage his current strength actually was.
His Qi and blood were vigorous,
Comparable to that of a Qi Blood Master.
Even to say, he was stronger than an average Qi Blood Master.
Combined with the Level Eight Domineering Blade True Intent,
In a certain sense,
Gu Qingfeng now, was at least equivalent to a True Intent Master, and possibly much more powerful than the average True Intent Master.
Ordinary Masters, in his presence, were already of no consequence.
This point,
Could be seen from how Duan Ping was instantly killed.
"It’s just that I don’t know, compared to the so-called Great Grandmaster, who is stronger or weaker!"
Gu Qingfeng pondered to himself.
Great Grandmaster,
This realm that only existed in rumors, was not a possibility he could experience for now.
But this battle had given Gu Qingfeng tremendous confidence.
Don’t look at how Magicians are revered in this world, but Martial Artists who are truly powerful to a certain extent are not necessarily weaker than Magicians.
Top Spirit-controlling Realm Magicians are only equivalent to an average Master.
In terms of strength,
Gu Qingfeng suspected it was about the same level as Duan Ping.
Compared to an old Master like Shen Wudao, it was a notch lower.
Inside Guangyang Prefecture,
All the thousand-year-old Immortal Sect families are only fortified with Spirit-controlling Realm Magicians.
In other words,
Gu Qingfeng found that his current strength seemed to be unmatched throughout the entire Guangyang Prefecture.
Of course,
Except for the Evil Spirit of the Nine Curves Road.
The strength of the Evil Buddha was not something Shen Wudao could compare to.
Even if Gu Qingfeng now had the strength to slay Shen Wudao, he didn’t have the confidence to confront the Evil Buddha of the Nine Curves Road.
As for slaying Duan Ping later on, Gu Qingfeng was not afraid of offending the Tianyang Sword Sect.
Frankly speaking,
From the death of Ji Zong, the Gu Family Manor had already torn their faces with Pei Jing.
And now, having annihilated the Divine Fist Sect, they had thoroughly offended the other party.
As Duan Ping said,
In such a situation, if the Gu Family Manor wanted to mend the relationship, then the only options were to submit to Pei Jing, or rather to submit to the Tianyang Sword Sect behind him.
"It’s just a pity,"
"I have never had the habit of being someone’s dog."
"Offending the Tianyang Sword Sect, let it be offended; I want to see just how much depth the so-called Immortal Sect really has!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes grew cold.
Since they were already offended, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Indecision breeds chaos.
Therefore,
From the moment Duan Ping began to speak, it was already destined that he was to die.
After all, even if Duan Ping were to be released, there was no chance of easing the relationship; since that was the case, killing Duan Ping first to weaken the strength of the Tianyang Sword Sect was also good.
Half a day later,
Gu Peng arrived.
Following him were several Outer Hall disciples.
The group brought over a dozen chests, which they arranged neatly in front of Gu Qingfeng.
"All of the Divine Fist Sect’s Martial Arts Secret Manuals are here, plus there’s some gold here as well, please manor master have a look!"
Gu Peng said, cupping his fist in salute.
Gold!
At the mention of these two words, Gu Qingfeng’s eyes instantly lit up.
What was he most lacking now?
Apart from Martial Arts Secret Manuals, it was gold.
Gold was the most important thing for sealing an Evil Spirit; without gold, the Evil Spirit would be difficult to suppress, after all, the Evil Spirit was hard to kill, and Gu Qingfeng for now had no method to eradicate it.
The small amount of gold remaining in the Gu Family Manor was to be used as the last seal for the Vajra Buddha’s coffin.
Now that they had found a batch of gold in the Divine Fist Sect, it could not have come at a better time to resolve the urgent need.
