Chapter 239 - 234: Fourth Realm Slays Fifth Realm, Entering the Dao
On the long street, the cold rain and terrifying airwaves shattered the slabs of the street in large areas, sending countless pieces of stones and overturned tiles whistling through the wind and rain.
Many cracks appeared on the hard, towering stone walls. In the whistling wind and rain and the chaotic battle, Liu Xifan flew backward and landed heavily on the ground, smashing a few thick slabs, already bleeding profusely.
Rain transforming into ice shattered, lifting up blossoms of ice flowers, thrown by invisible power, scattering into the dim rain mist as the street collapsed and exploded.
On the long street, it seemed to suddenly quiet down,
"Pfft"
Liu Xifan spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire being spiritless and listless, wrinkles instantly creasing his face, his hair disheveled, trying to stand or crawl but unable to get up.
The wind and rain whistled,
Gu Zhan lifted his saber and charged to kill.
At that moment, in the street melee, many people were extremely shocked.
The name of Gu Zhan as the God of Slaughter was heard by many,
but, after all, he was just a newly emerged Celestial Pride,
Throughout Yunxi, changes in the Celestial Pride List were common, besides the top five Celestial Prides, others, in most people’s recognition, were just talented young individuals, unable to compare with the strong of the old generation.
Yet such a Celestial Pride at the bottom of the list,
unexpectedly severely injured Liu Xifan,
and that too in front of everyone, in a direct confrontation without using any underhanded means.
This was Liu Xifan, a renowned veteran Fifth Realm Great Cultivator across Yunxi, who also once graced the Celestial Pride List in his youth, and with a rank higher than Gu Zhan’s.
Yet, after decades of accumulation in the Fifth Realm, he was defeated by such an emerging young talent.
Outside Qingyun Street,
Bai Jiu’Er stood by the carriage with an umbrella, her face full of shock.
In her mind suddenly echoed the words Gu Zhan had spoken before,
"It’s just a Fifth Realm after all!"
Suddenly, she felt a bit dazed,
recalling the scene when she first met Gu Zhan,
he was just a youth fleeing disaster, dusty and tired,
But, only this much time had passed,
She remembered a sentence in the letter Yang Yuzhi sent to Mo Jingzhou the Dragon King, a sentence neither she nor Mo Jingzhou had taken seriously at the time,
Now, that sentence resurfaced once again:
Gu Zhan entered Yunxi, only then realizing what it means for a dragon to dive into the sea and a tiger into the forest!
...
"Grand Elder!"
Experts of the Liu Family recovered from a momentary shock and rushed to rescue Liu Xifan.
In an instant,
dozens of experts charged over, among them some high-realm Great Cultivators.
However, they couldn’t stop Gu Zhan’s steps forward in the rain,
as he walked, reaching back with one hand, the Horizontal Saber previously stuck in the long street emitted a hum and flew over,
Gu Zhan threw the slightly chipped Horizontal Saber out, immediately impaling a Great Cultivator, the immense power sending the cultivator’s body flying backward, pinning them directly to a wall.
In the next moment,
Gu Zhan sprinted swiftly, frantically waving his saber,
dozens of experts charged and instantly surrounded him, from all sides enveloping Gu Zhan in the crowd until he was no longer visible.
However, in the next moment,
a soaring Sword Intent burst forth,
strands of golden light erupted, heaven and earth’s Primordial Qi surged turbulently, dense blade shadows danced.
Accompanied by wails and cries,
the dozen surrounding people instantly flew backward,
some flew sideways, crashing into alley walls, spitting blood and sliding down; some flipped and tore through the rain veil, bones cracking, spurting blood upon landing; some were directly split in half, blood spraying wildly; some had limbs flying everywhere, severed in melee.
A deep hum, silhouettes constantly flew sideways,
in an instant, a vacuum area appeared at the center of the long street,
agonized cries resonated,
Gu Zhan’s whole body was soaked, but what flowed from his hair and clothes wasn’t rain, it was red blood.
"Kill!"
With a loud shout, many guests from Mo Yan’an’s residence charged from all sides.
Gu Zhan stomped on the ground,
sending up a huge splash of water, the slabs on the street lifted and shattered with loud booms,
Gu Zhan stomped again,
a terrifying airwave spread out like waves, driving the pebbles like dense hidden weapons incessantly striking at the charging guests.
Some were directly pierced by the pebbles,
some barely used weapons to block, but the immense force knocked them flying; some had their legs and arms severed by the rapidly shooting pebbles, collapsing to the ground,
while Gu Zhan carried his saber, charging at the barely rising Liu Xifan,
the fierce wind howled, the rain poured,
Gu Zhan’s Horizontal Saber dragged a deep trench in the ground,
when close to Liu Xifan,
the Horizontal Saber swung, chopping down,
a head flew up, blood spraying unrestrictedly.
[Experience Points +4 million]
The heavy rain washed over, the street veiled in mist, raindrops splattered, droplets like soybeans fell in, splashes of crimson red bloomed.
Gu Zhan lightly wiped away the blood from his face, opened his system page to check, finding his accumulated experience points were over eight million, not far from ten million now.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his face, but it looked extremely sinister,
at that moment, the world seemed to suddenly turn cold, a flash of thunder struck the sky, the heavens suddenly brightened with snow,
yet, that brightness,
no one could tell if it was the glow of lightning or the light of a saber,
Gu Zhan brandished his saber and charged,
at the same time, a dozen Flying Sabers floated around him, darting wildly in the air, forming a dense web of blades,
he lifted the saber, swung it down, lifted it, swung it down,
charging from the end of the street,
everywhere he passed, only a mist of blood could be seen, chaos reigned in the pouring rain, and the melee was disrupted, countless broken limbs and shattered bones, blood splattering, dense cries resounded,
a path of blood, composed of one corpse after another,
from the end of the street to the head of the street,
the entire long street seemed to silence,
fear crept into everyone’s hearts, even those originally with Bai Jiu’Er, on Gu Zhan’s side, couldn’t help but retreat, watching that bloody misty figure with heart palpitations.
At the street’s end,
Flying Sabers darted back and forth,
Gu Zhan’s Horizontal Saber dripped a mixture of blood and rain,
he slowly lifted his head,
as at that moment, the torrential downpour suddenly paused for a moment,
[Use 10 million Experience Points]
[Profound Yang Skill upgraded to Eleventh Floor]
[Current Realm advanced to Dao Entry Realm]
...
Whizz
A saber like a rainbow, slicing through the void.
It was an invisible Sword Intent, no one could see it, but everyone saw the canopy above, the heavy rain scattered in disarray, countless raindrops shattered into tiny beads, bursting with dazzling mist,
Entering the Dao Realm,
Dao Realm Peak, complete!
And at that moment, Gu Zhan’s figure instantly disappeared into the misty rain,
