Chapter 109 - 108: Slaughtering Frenzy (Third Update)
"Hmph!"
Gu Zhan let out a cold snort, wasting no words. He charged forward, and the Horizontal Saber in his hand was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, quickly reaping several lives in the hall.
With Gu Zhan’s first move, all his guards also started a brutal fight in that instant.
The hall was thrown into chaos within seconds.
Gu Zhan’s saber was swift—within only a few breaths, he carved out a patch of empty space in the hall, corpses scattered everywhere, stunning everyone.
Gu Zhan gripped the blood-soaked Horizontal Saber, not giving an inch, and said in a deep voice, "Wu Yang, you think these pathetic losers can kill me, Gu Zhan? Are you fucking brain-damaged!"
Wu Yang sat at the highest position, his face indifferent as he said, "Lord Gu, why bother? You had a bright future ahead, why insist on stepping onto a dead-end? Your cultivation is undeniably deep, but how many can you kill—ten? A hundred? Two hundred?"
Human strength has limits; do you still expect your men to come save you? They can’t get in. With this choice, your fate is already sealed!"
Gu Zhan replied in a cold tone, "Even if I, Gu Zhan, am alone, I can wipe out your entire clan!"
Wu Yang snorted coldly. "Without your bow, how many can you kill?"
Saying that, Wu Yang quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"
With Wu Yang’s order,
Suddenly, all the screens in the hall were knocked over. A flood of axe and saber-wielding fighters rushed out. Outside the hall, a crowd of constables from the Inspection Bureau appeared, forming a dark mass. Mixed among them, more than a dozen Innate Martial Artists closed in on Gu Zhan to encircle and kill him.
"My lord, run!"
The guards rushed toward the hall entrance, trying to carve out a bloody path for Gu Zhan.
But Gu Zhan didn’t retreat. Instead, he gripped the saber hilt tightly, speaking coldly: "Without the bow, I, Gu Zhan, can still slaughter every enemy here!"
In that instant, golden light radiated from Gu Zhan’s body.
Celestial Spirit Golden Body, Great Success Realm—when unleashed, the body’s surface seems clad in golden armor, resisting all external assaults, turning the whole body into a golden body impervious to blades, bullets, water, and fire. It generates a powerful counter-shock force and his body is stronger than iron or stone.
Facing the swarming enemies, Gu Zhan’s eyes held a world-dominating aura, his voice grim: "To stand against Gu Zhan is the most foolish act in this world!"
With a metallic clang, the Horizontal Saber shot out like a Flood Dragon from the sea, appearing slow but actually fast as it pierced the lead attacker. Before he could react, his head was chopped off in one stroke.
Blood sprayed everywhere. Gu Zhan plunged into the crowd, instantly sending several Martial World experts flying. Their weapons crashed against Gu Zhan’s body, only sparking before shattering, and anyone Gu Zhan rammed into spit blood as they flew backward.
For a moment, the hall fell silent. They had expected that once Gu Zhan made his move, a great phenomenon would arise—perhaps a rain of blood, or perhaps he would unleash a terrifying aura through overwhelming cultivation. Some even expected Gu Zhan, relying on his deep cultivation, to turn and escape,
But nobody imagined that,
Gu Zhan would simply rush in with his saber, just like an ordinary man, chopping and hacking, arms rising and falling, fighting like a farmer in a brawl—swinging his weapon in wild strikes.
"Don’t panic! Disable his saber!"
Wu Yang’s face was steady and cold. He gave the order.
At once, the Innate Martial Artists charged in savagely.
Their weapons were certainly not ordinary.
After only a few exchanges,
The Horizontal Saber in Gu Zhan’s hand snapped, breaking swiftly into several pieces and falling onto the floor.
Witnessing this,
Wu Yang sneered, "Without that bow, you could kill. But now, even your saber is gone—what else do you have to boast about!"
As he spoke, Wu Yang seemed to recall something and shouted, "Watch out for his Frenzied Lion Fist!"
Instantly, several Innate Martial Artists surged forward,
Surrounding Gu Zhan tightly, raining down fierce attacks.
"Roar..."
A lion’s roar echoed throughout the hall. Gu Zhan’s hands clenched into fists as heads shaped from True Qi rushed out, roaring powerfully. Each punch was brutal, wide and forceful.
But all those Innate Martial Artists had been prepared long ago—and most likely had secretly studied the Frenzied Lion Fist’s characteristics. Almost all of them managed to avoid the deadly blows embedded in this fist technique.
Seeing Gu Zhan being pressed hard, several Innate Martial Artists felt a surge of joy in their hearts.
To be honest, despite their numbers,
Gu Zhan’s killing reputation preceded him. The top expert in Linjiang, after the battle at the Hundred Households Office, he single-handedly took down Wan Yan and several experts. Though he wasn’t alone back then, he definitely killed so many with his own hands.
This deadly reputation was enough to make anyone wary.
So only now, seeing Gu Zhan finally suppressed, could they truly breathe a sigh of relief.
In an instant,
Several weapons landed on Gu Zhan, and a fierce golden glow burst out on his body. The hall echoed with the clang of gold and iron.
His clothes shredded—
Gu Zhan stood bare-chested, fists raised to block several streaks of Sword Qi and Saber Qi.
"Celestial Spirit Golden Body!"
At this moment, someone finally recognized Gu Zhan’s martial arts.
Celestial Spirit Golden Body is an exceedingly difficult Defensive Martial Arts technique to cultivate. It requires skill, but grants large bonuses to combat power. It also happens to be the martial arts of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so members of noble families knew a bit about it.
At once, an older Innate Expert shouted, "It’s just a turtle shell for taking blows! Pin him down—let’s see how many strikes he can endure!"
Instantly,
The Innates attacked again, encircling Gu Zhan.
Several hand-to-hand experts engaged Gu Zhan in brutal exchanges, quickly pinning him down; two even hugged Gu Zhan’s arms, taking his blows in exchange for binding him.
"Now, finish him!"
Those two Innate Martial Artists spat blood, their energy weak. They took a beating just to grab Gu Zhan’s arm—using up the last of their strength for a chance to kill him on the spot.
But in that instant,
No one noticed the cold smile on Gu Zhan’s lips.
Suddenly, Gu Zhan’s feet, embedded in the floor, moved.
He stomped down,
And the marble floor shattered like a spiderweb.
Gu Zhan’s leg rose slightly, moving so fast it was nearly invisible, attacking left and right.
Two massive feet appeared, soaring from the ground, kicking at the two Innate Martial Artists clinging to Gu Zhan’s arms.
"Leg Technique..."
The two Innate Martial Artists were stunned, but it was too late—them flew off instantly, their chests caved in, a footprint on their backs, smashing two walls as they hit, blood spraying and their breath completely silenced.
And in that instant,
Gu Zhan vaulted forward, kicking one Innate Martial Artist squarely in the neck.
The martial artist’s neck broke instantly, his head limp, crashing to the ground.
