NOVPUB"Or perhaps,"
"I should meld the Martial Arts of a hundred families and create a truly perfect Martial Art of my own!"
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes suddenly sparkled.
Throughout history, no Martial Art was conjured from thin air; they were all created by predecessors.
Since predecessors could create,
why couldn’t he?
"In this world, Martial Arts are weak, and Magicians are revered, so the Martial Arts of this realm all have their flaws and cannot achieve true perfection.
Even something as powerful as the Five Internal Organs Scripture is not truly perfect.
If the Five Internal Organs Scripture were flawless, then the cultivation of the Mixed Yuan Treasure Manual wouldn’t bring about any change at all!"
Of course,
more importantly,
it was because the Martial Arts of this realm were incomplete.
For ordinary people, reaching the level of a Master was the limit, and a Great Grandmaster would emerge only once in a century.
If one day he himself aspired to become a Master or Great Grandmaster, he would always have to forge his own path ahead.
If he relied solely on Upgrade Points for Breakthrough, the consumption would be too great; if he could create his own Martial Arts, it would naturally save a lot of loss.
However—
there was another reason.
It was the thought that Gu Qingfeng also harbored of revitalizing the Martial Arts of this realm.
"They all say that Martial Artists are inferior to Magicians!"
"But I, Gu Qingfeng, simply don’t believe it..."
Gu Qingfeng’s expression became resolute.
But to truly create such Martial Arts, one must really meld a hundred scriptures.
Only if oneself is flawless,
can one create truly flawless Martial Arts.
But now,
Gu Qingfeng had not yet reached that truly flawless step.
—
Night fell.
The ancient city lost some of its daytime bustle.
But just then, suddenly fire surged into the sky, a fierce light split the night, and with loud battle cries, it completely shattered the calm that the ancient city should have.
"Skyhawk Gang, Vermilion Bird Gang, you dare to attack my Divine Evil Sect, seeking death!"
Within the Divine Evil Sect, the Sect Leader Luo Yi, his face filled with anger, spoke as his huge hand, like a fan, struck out, instantly crushing a Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist from the Skyhawk Gang to death right there on the spot.
Just then,
two powerful currents of air attacked, making Luo Yi’s expression stern; he struck out with both hands as quick as lightning, colliding fiercely with the attackers.
Three forces clashed.
Luo Yi’s body shook, and he stepped back three steps, each one leaving a clear footprint on the bluestone pavement.
"Yan Xiong!"
"Dugu Jin!"
Luo Yi’s gaze was icy cold.
In his field of vision, he saw a black-clad old man and a woman dressed in a long red dress.
Skyhawk Gang leader Yan Xiong!
Vermilion Bird Gang leader Dugu Jin!
Both were mid-level Bone Refining experts.
Luo Yi hadn’t expected that these two gangs would join forces this time and launch a surprise attack on his Divine Evil Sect.
"Do you really not fear the Zhuo Family’s wrath by attacking my Divine Evil Sect today?"
His voice was cold.
Upon hearing the words "Zhuo Family," both showed a flicker of fear in their eyes.
Then,
Yan Xiong’s expression turned cold: "Luo Yi, don’t count on the Zhuo Family’s people coming to save you. The Shangguan Family and the Red Flame Sect have already joined forces, and the Zhuo Family’s strong ones are probably all entangled by these two powers now.
Blame your Divine Evil Sect for standing on the wrong side. After today, the Taishan Road will no longer have the Divine Evil Sect!"
As if to corroborate Yan Xiong’s words,
right as he finished speaking, outside the ancient town, several terrifying auras burst forth, accompanied by the angry roars of Zhuo Family’s strong ones.
Seeing this.
Luo Yi’s heart sank.
Since the Green Sun Sect had been destroyed, all the major forces in Guangyang Prefecture had sought to take control of Taishan Road, each choosing a local force from Taishan Road to support.
Behind the Divine Evil Sect stood the Zhuo Family.
However, what Luo Yi had not expected was for the Shangguan Family and the Red Flame Sect to come to a consensus so quickly.
They had joined forces to tie up the strong fighters of the Zhuo Family, which allowed the Skyhawk Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang to move against his Divine Evil Sect.
Now,
Luo Yi was well aware that the Divine Evil Sect had no way out.
This battle,
if he couldn’t suppress the two gangs,
then tomorrow, there would no longer be a Divine Evil Sect on Taishan Road.
With this thought,
Luo Yi’s vitality surged tremendously, his presence in the dark night like a bright lamp, his majestic energy burst forth, his tiger eyes full of authority.
"My Divine Evil Sect has stood on Taishan Road for hundreds of years, relying on nothing but formidable strength!"
"Even if you all join forces, who ends up victorious is yet to be determined, die for me—"
His words fell.
Luo Yi immediately charged towards Yan Xiong and Dugu Jin.
His full mid-level Bone Refining strength erupted, also placing a considerable pressure on them.
If it were one on one,
neither Yan Xiong nor Dugu Jin would be confident in defeating Luo Yi.
Among those of the same mid-level Bone Refining, there were also strengths and weaknesses.
But now that the two of them teamed up, the situation was different.
"Kill!"
"Kill Luo Yi first, then annihilate the Divine Evil Sect!"
The two exchanged a glance and then split to the left and right to encircle Luo Yi.
—
Three days later.
Gu Peng arrived.
"Reporting to the manor master, there’s news from Taishan Road!"
"Bring it here."
Gu Qingfeng ingested a strand of Great Sun Yang Qi before turning to look at Gu Peng, who respectfully handed over a letter sealed with the stamp of Gu Family Manor.
Originally, all guards of the Gu Family were integrated into the Outer Hall and became disciples of Gu Family Manor.
Then,
Gu Qingfeng let Gu Peng select some particularly loyal individuals to focus on nurturing and implant them in various places in Guangyang Prefecture to gather intelligence.
Breaking the seal,
Gu Qingfeng pulled out the letter from inside. On the yellowed paper recorded the news from Taishan Road.
"Sect Leader of the Divine Evil Sect—"
"This man is truly extraordinary!"
The letter mentioned that the Skyhawk Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang had joined forces to attack the Divine Evil Sect three days ago. However, the Sect Leader of the Divine Evil Sect, despite getting heavily injured, killed the leaders of both gangs and completely suppressed the situation.
The Sect Leader of the Divine Evil Sect, Luo Yi, with mid-level Bone Refining cultivation.
Both of the other gang leaders had the same level of cultivation.
Even so,
they were no match for Luo Yi.
It clearly showed that the foundation and reserves of the Divine Evil Sect’s Sect Leader were indeed profound.
"Now that the Skyhawk Gang and the Vermilion Bird Gang have been annihilated, according to the rules, both the Shangguan Family and the Red Flame Sect should also be stepping down, right?"
As Gu Qingfeng spoke, his palm’s blood qi erupted, instantly shattering the paper.
Since recently, various ancient, noble clans and sects had directly clashed, each suffering losses of strong fighters, then mutually established rules to mainly support a local force against each other.
The victor could then control Taishan Road.
This was also to minimize their losses.
After all, if they really broke their heads over Taishan Road, and both ended up injured, no one would benefit.
Gu Peng said, "At the moment, it looks like the Zhuo Family supported Divine Evil Sect has a not-so-small chance of winning, but if the other forces team up, the Zhuo Family might not be able to hold."
"Hold or not, we shall watch and see,"
Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly with his hands behind his back.
"Besides, other defeated sects and noble clans might not necessarily abide by the rules. If someone flips the table, that would be interesting…"
