NOVPUBWhat a pity.
Zhuo Xuankong wanted to leave.
But Gu Er did not give him a chance to do so.
Originally just a superior Martial Arts technique, the Seven Killings Blade Skills now had mysterious and ghostly power in Gu Er’s hands. As soon as the Slaughter True Intent, formed by who knows how many lost souls, appeared, it made Zhuo Xuankong feel as if he was plummeting into an ice cellar.
"True Intent!"
Zhuo Xuankong’s face showed shock.
Although the power of this True Intent was not at the level of a Master’s True Intent, it was still extraordinary.
Moreover,
Gu Er was himself an Innate Grandmaster.
The combination of the two made Zhuo Xuankong sense the aroma of death when the blade came slashing down.
Seeing the long blade slicing through, Zhuo Xuankong exploded with all his strength, his right palm slamming out violently, unleashing a river-like torrent of power.
"Boom—"
The long blade cut through the waves.
Zhuo Xuankong’s full-powered palm strike seemed futile in front of this blade.
At the moment the long blade caught his eye, Zhuo Xuankong just froze in place.
Following that,
a trail of blood began to emerge from his forehead, spreading downwards.
In the next instant,
Zhuo Xuankong’s body split in two, and the illustrious Zhuo Family Master met his demise.
From Gu Er’s strike to Zhuo Xuankong’s death, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
With Zhuo Xuankong’s death, Gu Er did not bother with the resurgent Evil Spirit, but instead stepped forward, moving on to kill other Zhuo Family elders.
—
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has annihilated the Zhuo Family!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has annihilated the Stargazing Sect!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has annihilated the Soul Bone Sect!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ was attacked by a Spirit-controlling Realm Magician!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ was attacked by a Refining Organ Realm Martial Artist*3!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has slain a Yun Ling Realm Magician*2!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has slain a Bone Refining Realm Martial Artist*6!"
…
While undercurrents stirred in Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Qingfeng, who was in seclusion in Grinding Blade Hall, now looked at the information panel as numerous texts refreshed, slightly stirring his demeanor.
Zhuo Family!
Stargazing Sect!
Soul Bone Sect!
These were all millennia-old noble sects of Guangyang Prefecture, essentially on the same level as the Red Flame Sect.
According to Gu Qingfeng’s view, these Magician sects and noble families had no reason to exist.
However,
it was easy to annihilate these millennia-old noble sects, but the subsequent repercussions were not so easy to erase, so Gu Qingfeng had turned a blind eye, allowing these forces to endure temporarily.
But now,
Gu Yang had directly acted, completely wiping out these forces.
This made things quite intriguing.
"Yang’er wouldn’t eradicate these forces without good reason, could there be some unexpected change?"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression slightly shifted.
From the information panel, it seemed that Gu Yang had intense conflicts with the noble sects of Guangyang Prefecture, even encountering attacks from magicians.
It should be noted,
the number of times Gu Yang was truly attacked by magicians, as recorded on the information panel, could be counted on one hand.
The current situation indicated that Gu Yang had indeed torn his facade with the other sects and noble families.
Just then,
Gu Peng’s voice came from outside.
"Subordinate seeks audience with the old manor master!"
"Come in."
Gu Qingfeng slowly opened his mouth, and then he saw Gu Peng walking in from outside. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
The man took three strides forward, reducing them to two, and bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng.
"Greetings, Old Manor Master!"
"Speak, what brings you here?"
Looking at Gu Peng, Gu Qingfeng suspected that his arrival must be related to the situation in Guangyang Prefecture.
Sure enough.
Just as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, Gu Peng said, "Reporting to the Old Manor Master, the manor master has just sent word that the Sect Master of the Tianyang Sword Sect, Gu Yutian, has left his secluded meditation and is leading the strong members of the Tianyang Sword Sect toward Guangyang Prefecture. I fear they will arrive within a few days!"
"Gu Yutian!"
When Gu Qingfeng heard this name, a slight ripple crossed his face, but it quickly calmed down.
Tianyang Sect Master.
Gu Yutian.
A Transformation Realm powerhouse.
After slaying Pei Jing, Gu Qingfeng had already prepared himself to fight Gu Yutian.
Unfortunately.
Gu Yutian had remained inactive.
Until now.
He had only just emerged from seclusion, heading towards Guangyang Prefecture.
Had this been before he broke through to become an Extreme Dao Master, Gu Qingfeng would have only a fifty percent confidence in dealing with Gu Yutian. However, after his breakthrough, in his view, Gu Yutian no longer posed a threat.
As for now.
Having broken through the second layer of the Heavenly Vein True Scripture and having condensed two Heavenly Veins within his body.
To be honest.
Gu Qingfeng did not think Gu Yutian would be a match for him. He only worried about whether Gu Yutian deserved his full effort and whether he could test the limits of his strength.
On the other side.
Gu Qingfeng’s silence, in Gu Peng’s eyes, appeared as if it were due to dread of Gu Yutian, prompting him to speak.
"It is said that Gu Yutian is a strong warrior from a thousand years ago, with strength so profound and deep that it’s incalculable. I believe there is no need for a direct confrontation with him. Perhaps it would be wise to avoid his edge for the time being, even if it means giving up our current holdings…"
"I will handle Gu Yutian’s issue myself. When I am not here, you will take care of the matters within the manor."
Gu Qingfeng interrupted Gu Peng directly.
Retreat?
That was impossible.
If it truly became unmanageable, Gu Qingfeng naturally would not confront him head-on.
But as of now.
Gu Qingfeng only wanted a battle with Gu Yutian.
Ignoring the astonishment on Gu Peng’s face, Gu Qingfeng walked out of the Grinding Blade Hall.
The moment he stepped out of the Grinding Blade Hall, the Evil Slayer Blade, which had been quietly resting inside, seemed to sense something and, under Gu Peng’s shocked gaze, it flew out autonomously and instantly fell into Gu Qingfeng’s hand.
Outside the Grinding Blade Hall.
The sun was high in the sky.
Gu Qingfeng looked directly at the blazing sun, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Having stayed in the Grinding Blade Hall for so long, it’s time to go out for a walk, I just hope you don’t disappoint me!"
Muttering to himself, Gu Qingfeng slowly left the Gu Family Manor.
When Gu Peng came out of the Grinding Blade Hall, he glimpsed Gu Qingfeng standing in front of the hall.
But before Gu Peng could speak, Gu Qingfeng’s figure suddenly vanished like a bubble.
This sight.
Once again caused Gu Peng’s pupils to shrink sharply, his face filled with shock.
"Afterimage!"
"The Old Manor Master’s strength is truly unfathomable—"
Only movement that reaches a certain speed can leave an afterimage in place, and an almost indistinguishable afterimage like Gu Qingfeng’s was proof of the terrifying extent of his power.
"Such a feat, even that Tianyang Sect Master might not be able to achieve it!"
"The Old Manor Master’s fight with Gu Yutian will certainly shake the heavens. It’s a pity I won’t be there to witness it!"
Gu Peng shook his head and sighed.
This level of battle between powerhouses wasn’t something he could get involved in.
Moreover, Gu Qingfeng had given his orders before leaving, so Gu Peng naturally obeyed.
Otherwise, if something happened to the Gu Family Manor, he would be in big trouble.
