NOVPUB"——"
Blood-red blade light cleaved through the sky, and the overwhelming sword intent surged forth, causing Jiang Ning’s pupils to unconsciously dilate, with a look of terror just beginning to surface, before it solidified on his face.
Immediately after.
A bloody mark appeared on Jiang Ning’s forehead, and in the next breath, his body suddenly split in two.
"Boom!"
An appalling, icy breath burst forth, and an Evil Spirit awoke from Jiang Ning’s corpse before it bent down and frantically devoured the blood and flesh of Jiang Ning’s body.
This scene.
Left both sides stunned in place.
However.
In the next instant.
The Evil Slayer Blade emitted a quivering hum, then the long blade slashed at the Evil Spirit, instantly nailing the creature, which had been devouring Jiang Ning’s corpse, to the ground.
"Sssss!"
The Evil Spirit let out a reluctant roar, its body not of human form twisted wildly, but it could never break free from the suppression of the Evil Slayer Blade.
All of this.
Happened in the blink of an eye.
Only at this moment.
Did everyone finally come to their senses.
"Father!"
Gu Yang’s face showed shock, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that the Evil Slayer Blade left to him by Gu Qingfeng would truly be so powerful, not only instantly killing an Innate Grandmaster of the Magician class, but also autonomously suppressing an Evil Spirit.
Even though Gu Yang had always believed Gu Qingfeng’s words, he had not been as shocked as when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
Now.
As the Evil Spirit struggled wildly, the long blade stood unwaveringly.
"Impossible!"
"What kind of Divine Weapon is that, that it can kill Jiang Ning—"
On the side of the Divine Martial Army, Zuo Qiu and Cui Mingfeng’s faces had long lost their smiles, looking toward Beimen Pass with nothing but shock in their eyes.
Jiang Ning’s strength,
Strictly speaking, was not much different from theirs.
They had thought that with Jiang Ning’s methods, killing Gu Yang would be a piece of cake.
But unexpectedly.
Before Jiang Ning could truly display his strength, he was instantly killed by a mysterious Divine Weapon.
"That’s Gu Qingfeng’s blade!"
Pei Jing said, word by word.
After learning about Gu Qingfeng’s annihilation of the Divine Fist Sect and the slaying of Tianyang Sword Sect’s Innate Grandmaster, Pei Jing had gone all-out to collect information about him.
Therefore.
At the sight of the Evil Slayer Blade, he recognized it at once as Gu Qingfeng’s blade.
His words.
Once again changed the expressions of everybody else.
Gu Qingfeng’s blade!
Without the man himself present, how could a mere blade kill an Innate Grandmaster class Magician?
You must understand.
Jiang Ning was no ordinary Innate Grandmaster; he was a peak Magician within the God Fusion Realm.
In terms of strength,
He was more than a match for a top True Intent Master.
But now.
Jiang Ning was dead.
Killed by Gu Qingfeng’s blade.
To be precise,
It was Gu Qingfeng’s Divine Blade protecting its master without him present, instantly killing Jiang Ning.
The impact of such a scene was unimaginable, leaving both Zuo Qiu and Cui Mingfeng feeling an inexplicable chill in their hearts.
Gu Qingfeng had not shown up and it was already like this, if he were to truly appear, how terrifying would that be?
At that moment.
A sudden figure appeared atop Beimen Pass, dressed in fluttering green, with an indifferent gaze and hands behind his back; he stood as if a banished immortal had descended to the mortal realm, his entire presence within a radius of ten feet seemed to become a domain, where all incoming arrows noiselessly disintegrated into nothing.
"Father!"
Gu Yang’s face lit up with joy.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Seal this evil spirit temporarily."
"Yes!"
Gu Yang immediately had people lift the Golden Coffin that was already prepared, while at the same moment, with a mere thought from Gu Qingfeng, the Evil Slayer Blade that pinned the evil spirit responded to some kind of signal and flew straight towards it.
Without the suppression of the Evil Slayer Blade, the evil spirit violently erupted.
But in the next breath,
the evil spirit was forcibly subdued by Gu Yi and others, directly sealed into the Golden Coffin.
At this moment,
Pei Jing’s complexion also turned ugly.
"Gu Qingfeng—"
He had come.
This was within his expectations.
After all, his purpose this time was to suppress White Stone Dao and eradicate the Gu Family Manor, so the appearance of the manor master of the Gu Family Manor was inevitable.
But with three elders from the Tianyang Sword Sect presiding on his side, Pei Jing was absolutely confident he could defeat his opponent.
However,
such confidence, with Jiang Ning’s fall, had completely shattered.
When he actually saw Gu Qingfeng, a rare deep apprehension rose in Pei Jing’s heart, along with a touch of fear that even he himself hadn’t noticed.
Yes,
it was fear.
Gu Qingfeng’s strength instilled a sense of dread even in the Divine Martial King.
Before the man arrived,
a blade had already slain a magician at the peak of the God Fusion Realm.
Then how terrifying must Gu Qingfeng’s true strength be?
A Great Grandmaster?
Or even higher?
At that moment,
Gu Qingfeng also looked towards Pei Jing; the two were a hundred zhang apart, but their eyes could meet.
"Divine Martial King Pei Jing, today we finally meet!"
He spoke slowly, but his voice was able to drown out all other noises on the battlefield and reached accurately into the latter’s ears.
Upon hearing this,
Pei Jing suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly, "The reputation of Domineering Blade Gu Qingfeng is long-standing, and in fact, I have always held Master Gu in high regard.
Now that the Taixuan Dynasty is on the brink of collapse and heroes are rising everywhere, if Master Gu is willing to cooperate with me, it is not impossible for us to contend for the throne together."
"When I, your king, Rule the World, I will surely not forget Master Gu’s contributions. At that time, Guangyang Prefecture or even the entirety of Taishan County or one county’s land, all could be granted as the Gu Family’s fief.
All the martial arts and secret techniques in the world, as long as I can offer them, are yours for the viewing, Master Gu!"
After witnessing Gu Qingfeng’s formidable strength, Pei Jing had given up the notion of taking Beimen Pass.
Such a strong individual
was not someone ordinary people could match.
The outside world rumored that Gu Qingfeng was merely a top-tier True Intent Master, but now it seemed that this man was clearly a genuine Great Grandmaster.
It was only because this Great Grandmaster had always been low-profile that he had repeatedly misjudged the other party’s power.
Now,
Pei Jing’s most significant thought was to pull Gu Qingfeng into his faction at all costs.
Such a powerful individual,
if he could be used for oneself, the benefits were plain to see.
Hearing Pei Jing’s words, Zuo Qiu and Cui Mingfeng exchanged glances, both remaining silent.
On Beimen Pass,
Gu Qingfeng, upon hearing this, remained indifferent, "The offer of the Divine Martial King is indeed hard to refuse, it’s just a pity that I have always believed in the power of strength.
With your current strength, Divine Martial King, I am afraid you are still not qualified to make me lower my head!"
"Today, the one hundred thousand Divine Martial Army attacks Beimen Pass, and the Divine Martial King even leads the troops personally. Let’s have a look, Divine Martial King, to see if your strength is indeed a match for your ambition—"
As the words fell,
Gu Qingfeng’s qi and blood exploded, and with one step, he plunged into the battlefield like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
The blade light was chilling.
Slaughter erupted immediately.
