Chapter 155: Fading Shadows
Chapter 155: Fading Shadows
Unfortunately,
Zhuo Xuan Kong wanted to escape.
However, Gu Er didn’t give him the chance.
What was once a mere high-tier martial art, the Seven Kill Blade Technique, now exhibited a divine and inscrutable power in Gu Er’s hands. The true intent of slaughter, forged from countless souls, sent a bone-chilling cold through Zhuo Xuan Kong’s entire body.
"True Intent!"
Zhuo Xuan Kong’s face was filled with shock.
While this true intent wasn’t at the level of a Grandmaster’s, it was far from ordinary.
Moreover,
Gu Er himself was a Naturally Born Grandmaster.
The combination of these two factors made this single blade strike feel like a harbinger of death to Zhuo Xuan Kong.
As the long blade slashed down, Zhuo Xuan Kong unleashed all his strength, his right palm smashing out with a force like a tidal wave.
"Boom—"
The long blade cut through the wave.
Zhuo Xuan Kong’s full-strength palm strike was like a mere illusion in the face of this blade.
The moment the blade came into view, Zhuo Xuan Kong froze in place.
Then,
A bloodline appeared on his forehead, spreading downward.
In the next instant,
Zhuo Xuan Kong’s body split in two, and the mighty head of the Zhuo family met his end.
From the moment Gu Er struck to Zhuo Xuan Kong’s death, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
With Zhuo Xuan Kong dead, Gu Er didn’t bother with the revived evil spirits. Instead, he took a step forward and charged toward the other Zhuo family elders.
---
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has exterminated the Zhuo family!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has exterminated the Stellar Watch Clan!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has exterminated the Bone Spirit Enclave!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has been attacked by a Spirit Realm Sorcerer!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has been attacked by three Viscera Refinement Realm Warriors!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has killed two Spirit Essence Realm Sorcerers!"
"Your descendant 'Gu Yang' has killed six Bone Refinement Realm Warriors!"
...
As the undercurrents swirled in Guangyang Prefecture, Gu Qingfeng, who was in seclusion at the Blade Sharpening Hall, looked at the information panel. The flood of text made his expression shift slightly.
The Zhuo family!
The Stellar Watch Clan!
The Bone Spirit Enclave!
These were all thousand-year-old families and sects in Guangyang Prefecture, on par with the Crimson Flame Sect.
According to Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts, these sorcerer sects and noble families had no reason to exist.
However,
While exterminating these thousand-year-old families and sects was easy, the subsequent impact would be difficult to erase. So, Gu Qingfeng had turned a blind eye, allowing these forces to exist for now.
But now,
Gu Yang had taken direct action, wiping out all these forces.
This made things more intriguing.
"Yang wouldn’t act without reason to exterminate these forces. Could there be some unforeseen change?"
Gu Qingfeng’s expression shifted.
From the information panel, it seemed that Gu Yang had engaged in intense conflict with the noble families and sects of Guangyang Prefecture, even being attacked by sorcerers.
It was worth noting that,
In the many records on the information panel, the number of times Gu Yang had truly been attacked by sorcerers could be counted on one hand.
The current situation indicated that Gu Yang had indeed torn off the mask of civility with other sects and noble families.
Just then,
Gu Peng’s voice came from outside.
"Your humble servant requests an audience with the old patriarch!"
"Come in."
Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly, and then Gu Peng walked in from outside.
He took three quick steps forward and bowed deeply to Gu Qingfeng.
"Greetings, old patriarch!"
"Speak, what is the matter?"
Looking at Gu Peng, Gu Qingfeng suspected that his arrival was related to the situation in Guangyang Prefecture.
As expected.
Just as Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, Gu Peng said, "Reporting to the Old Manor Lord, the Manor Lord has just received news. The Head of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, Gu Yutian, has emerged from seclusion and is leading his sect's elite forces toward Guangyang Prefecture. He will likely arrive soon!"
"Gu Yutian!"
Gu Qingfeng's face showed a slight ripple, but he quickly regained his composure.
The Head of the Heavenly Sun Sect.
Gu Yutian.
A Transcendent Realm powerhouse.
After slaying Pei Jing, Gu Qingfeng had already prepared himself for a confrontation with Gu Yutian.
Unfortunately,
Gu Yutian had remained inactive until now.
Only now has he emerged from seclusion and is heading toward Guangyang Prefecture.
Before achieving the peak of the Supreme Master Realm, Gu Qingfeng had only a fifty percent chance of defeating Gu Yutian. However, after breaking through, he no longer considered Gu Yutian a threat.
Now,
with the second level of the Heavenly Pulse Canon, and his body having condensed two major heavenly pulses,
to be honest,
Gu Qingfeng didn't believe Gu Yutian would be a match for him. His only concern was whether Gu Yutian could push him to his limits and test his true strength.
On the other side,
Gu Peng saw Gu Qingfeng's silence as a sign of apprehension toward Gu Yutian and spoke up.
"According to reports, Gu Yutian is a powerful figure from a thousand years ago, with unfathomable strength. I believe it's unnecessary to engage him directly. If needed, we should avoid his sharp edge, even if it means abandoning our current base. It's not an unacceptable option..."
"Gu Yutian's issue, I will handle myself. While I'm away, you're in charge of the manor's affairs."
Gu Qingfeng cut Gu Peng off directly.
Retreat?
That was out of the question.
If the situation truly became hopeless, Gu Qingfeng wouldn't recklessly charge into battle.
But now,
Gu Qingfeng only wanted to face Gu Yutian in combat.
Ignoring Gu Peng's shock, Gu Qingfeng walked out of the Blade Polishing Hall.
As he stepped out, the Evil-Slaying Blade, which had been quietly placed in the hall, seemed to sense something. It autonomously flew out and, in an instant, landed in Gu Qingfeng's hand, much to Gu Peng's astonishment.
Outside the Blade Polishing Hall,
the sun was high in the sky.
Gu Qingfeng stared directly at the blazing sun, a smile playing on his lips.
"After staying in the Blade Polishing Hall for so long, it's time to go out and move around. I only hope you don't disappoint me!"
Muttering to himself, Gu Qingfeng slowly left the Gu Family Manor.
When Gu Peng emerged from the Blade Polishing Hall, he saw Gu Qingfeng standing in front of it.
Before Gu Peng could speak, Gu Qingfeng's figure suddenly dissipated like a mirage.
This scene,
caused Gu Peng's pupils to widen in shock.
"An afterimage!"
"The Old Manor Lord's strength is truly unfathomable—"
Only by moving at an incredible speed could one leave an afterimage. The fact that Gu Qingfeng left such a faint, almost indistinguishable afterimage was a testament to his terrifying power.
"Even the Head of the Heavenly Sun Sect might not be capable of such a feat!"
"The battle between the Old Manor Lord and Gu Yutian will surely be earth-shattering. Unfortunately, I won't be able to witness it!"
Gu Peng shook his head with a sigh.
This level of conflict was beyond his reach.
Moreover, Gu Qingfeng had given him orders before leaving, and Gu Peng would naturally follow them.
Otherwise, if anything went wrong at the Gu Family Manor, he would be in serious trouble.
