Chapter 183: War Reignites
September 6, 2024
Gu Qingfeng, of course, knew Gu Yang well.
Gu Yang had always been arrogant and haughty, looking down on everyone and acting impulsively.
But now, for Gu Yang to send Gu Yi to request the Evil-Slaying Blade, it was quite a relief to Gu Qingfeng.
It showed that Gu Yang had learned to be cautious.
This indicated that Gu Yang had grown a lot since becoming the Duke of Guangyang.
After all, only by maintaining a sense of reverence could one go further.
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Gu Yi lowered his head in silence.
Such words were not for a subordinate to comment on.
Then, Gu Qingfeng extended his hand, and the Evil-Slaying Blade, which was in the center of the Blade-Tempering Hall, responded to his call and flew directly into his grasp.
The Blade-Tempering Art had nurtured the Evil-Slaying Blade for many years, and the blade had been continuously refined by the True Intent and Gu Qingfeng's power within the Blade-Tempering Hall. This divine weapon was far superior to what it once was.
Next, Gu Qingfeng drew the blade from its sheath. The blood-red glow of the blade illuminated the Blade-Tempering Hall, and Gu Yi felt a chill, as if something terrifying was staring at him, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.
His gaze was filled with shock as he looked at the Evil-Slaying Blade.
A single blade!
It was enough to make him feel such intense threat, demonstrating the blade's immense power.
However, Gu Yi had already witnessed the Evil-Slaying Blade's divine might.
During the battle at the North Gate, this blade had slain an elder of the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect, displaying terrifying strength.
Under Gu Yi's astonished gaze, Gu Qingfeng flicked his finger, and a drop of golden blood shot out from his fingertip, embedding itself in the hilt of the Evil-Slaying Blade like a golden gem.
Instantly, a flash of golden light appeared on the blade.
Following that, a powerful and heavy pressure emanated from the blade.
The long blade was sheathed, and the pressure dissipated.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Qingfeng handed the Evil-Slaying Blade to Gu Yi.
"Tell Yang that this blade contains a drop of my essence blood, which can unleash three bursts of power, capable of slaying even evil spirits!"
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yi respectfully took the Evil-Slaying Blade. Despite being just a long blade, it felt as heavy as a mountain to him.
Then, Gu Yi left with the Evil-Slaying Blade.
After Gu Yi's departure, Gu Qingfeng continued to study martial arts. A powerful aura of True Intent permeated the Blade-Tempering Hall, causing any divine weapons that sensed this True Intent to tremble slightly.
If a True Intent master were to enter the Blade-Tempering Hall, they would notice that the divine weapons within, under the constant influence of Gu Qingfeng's True Intent, had developed a degree of sentience. Each divine weapon emitted a terrifying aura.
Any of these divine weapons, if placed outside, would be enough to drive people mad.
However, in the presence of the Evil-Slaying Blade, even these divine weapons paled in comparison.
...
In the following days, Gu Qingfeng continued his seclusion.
On the other side, Gu Yi had already traveled to the capital city with the Evil-Slaying Blade and delivered it to Gu Yang, along with Gu Qingfeng's message.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang's face lit up with joy.
"Good, with this blade, the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect is no longer a concern!"
If the Divine Martial Sect were to intervene, Gu Yang had a 90% chance of eradicating the Heavenly Sun Sword Sect. Now, with the Evil-Slaying Blade in hand, he was absolutely certain.
Gu Yang had absolute faith in Gu Qingfeng's words.
The next day, the army set out.
One million three hundred thousand troops.
Gu Yang left three hundred thousand troops to guard Mount Tai County and led the remaining one million troops in a grand procession toward Nanyang County.
The news spread like wildfire, causing a tremor throughout Nanyang County.
Numerous factions, both large and small, were thrown into a state of panic upon hearing of Gu Yang's arrival.
A man's name casts a long shadow.
Gu Yang, the Duke of Guangyang, was already a well-known figure, and the Martial Saint behind him was nothing short of terrifying.
Ever since Gu Qingfeng delivered a single, decisive strike outside the city of Guangyang, the entire region had taken on a hallowed air, becoming a place where many martial artists went to study the lingering, indomitable blade intent.
Thus, the reputation of Guangyang only grew stronger.
And with it, the renown of Gu Yang, the Duke of Guangyang, reached new heights.
---
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, leads an army of a million soldiers to attack Nanyang County, and many factions are surrendering!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has seen a significant increase in his forces!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has gained a formidable reputation due to his impressive battle achievements!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has been attacked by three Inborn Masters!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain seven Bone Cleansing Realm martial artists!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain forty-three Bone Forging Realm martial artists!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain 669 imperial soldiers!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has gained deeper insight into his Dominant Blade Slash during battle!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has made slight progress in cultivation during battle!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, has slain 1,236 imperial soldiers!"
"Your offspring, Gu Yang, ..."
...
The moment Gu Yang initiated the war, the information panel began to flood with updates.
Gu Qingfeng, however, remained calm as he read through the messages.
War had begun.
Once the killing started, it would not stop.
When he saw that Gu Yang had been attacked by Inborn Masters, Gu Qingfeng was not particularly surprised.
After all, Gu Yang's assault on Nanyang County had threatened the interests of many factions. Even with the fear of the Gu family's patriarch, these factions would fight with their backs against the wall.
However, Gu Qingfeng was not overly concerned.
Gu Yang had the Dark Guards by his side, and even an Inborn Master's attack would be hard-pressed to pose a serious threat.
Moreover, the allegiance of the Divine Martial Sect and other powerful figures had provided Gu Yang with a formidable force.
Indeed, it was the allegiance of these strong figures that had significantly bolstered Gu Yang's power.
Since the day Gu Qingfeng had slain Gu Yutian, Gu Yang's reputation had soared. The Divine Martial Sect's allegiance had pushed his fame to its peak.
As a result, many martial factions and independent martial artists had rallied under Gu Yang's banner.
Even without considering the Dark Guards, the strength Gu Yang commanded was already formidable.
The absolute loyalty of the Dark Guards, however, spared him many troubles.
Other factions, even those from the Divine Martial Sect, could not be trusted completely.
Ultimately, the world revolved around interests.
Loyalty was merely a matter of the price not being high enough.
With the Dark Guards, such concerns were nonexistent.
As the information panel continued to update, Gu Qingfeng could sense the intensity of the ongoing war in Nanyang County from the messages.
The air was thick with the scent of blood.
Despite the intensity of the conflict, Gu Yang held a clear and absolute advantage in this war.
At this rate, it would not be long before he secured the entire Nanyang County.
