Chapter 282 - 256: Slaying the Grandmaster (Part 4)
He managed to kill Liu Zuifeng directly without a scratch,
This, it’s clear he’s already a first-tier prodigy!
...
Among the crowd watching, the people from various factions had mixed thoughts. Some sects, who were either always friendly with the Beidou Bang or had no connection with them, were filled with admiration for such a top-tier force whose inherent strength was impressive, even hiding such a prodigious genius that none of them had discovered.
However, factions like the Danyang Sect, which had longstanding enmity with the Beidou Bang, felt somewhat complicated.
A second-tier prodigy is worth noticing, but the emergence of a first-tier prodigy makes them worried; this is very likely to become another Dragon King Mo Jingzhou.
Especially the people of the Danyang Sect,
In that instant, their mood was very heavy.
Song Lingjun’s face was somber,
The development of today’s events constantly troubled him, but overall, the result met expectations, probing Mo Jingzhou’s limits, and Liu Zuifeng successfully tested Gu Zhan’s strength firsthand.
However, this result was hard for him to accept,
He had maximized his estimation of Gu Zhan’s strength, but still did not expect Gu Zhan to genuinely possess first-tier strength.
Such a person, once breaking through to Grandmaster,
Is a tremendous trouble; crucially, Gu Zhan is so young, his potential surely is not limited to Grandmaster.
In a pavilion,
The four supreme Grandmasters exchanged glances, each lightly sighed,
All along,
The Yunxi Martial World nominally was governed by five top-tier factions, but in reality, Sword King City dominated the scene, not on the same level as the others.
The other top factions managed to remain at the peak within Yunzhou, whereas Sword King City is undoubtedly one of the top renowned sects globally, the unchallenged leader in Yunzhou.
And among those factions, except the Beidou Bang, the other three have hundreds of years of heritage, with significant background, but only the Beidou Bang is listed among the five partly due to one person, Dragon King Mo Jingzhou, whose personal combat prowess is terrifying. In terms of heritage, they’re not in the same league, otherwise, a single fight against Danyang wouldn’t have led to no successors.
Thus, those top-tier factions never really minded the Beidou Bang, after all, Mo Jingzhou’s influence is just a few decades,
But now seeing Gu Zhan,
They all felt amazed, thinking the Beidou Bang’s fortune hasn’t ended yet.
One Gu Zhan, if everything goes smoothly, is likely to continue Beidou’s destiny for at least another fifty years, allowing fifty more years of heritage accumulation. The Beidou Bang might genuinely become a top-tier faction.
...
In a short span,
Everyone present had various thoughts, each pondering numerous possibilities.
Mo Jingzhou gently leaped, gracefully landing beside Gu Zhan, looked at the kneeling corpse of Liu Zuifeng, slightly sighed, and said softly, "Take him away, bury him properly!"
Immediately, several Beidou Bang members arrived to carry Liu Zuifeng’s corpse away.
Afterward, Mo Jingzhou glanced at the surrounding crowd and said, "Everyone, the grand confrontation between good and evil is about to start; please prepare well and leave. The Beidou Bang has private matters to attend to, so we won’t be entertaining guests!"
Instantly, the crowd began to disperse.
At this moment, Mo Jingzhou placed his hand on Gu Zhan’s shoulder, sensing an energy to confirm Gu Zhan had no internal injuries, then said, "Clean yourself up first, come to my place later, I have something to discuss with you."
"Alright."
Gu Zhan nodded, then headed to Tian Yu to give some instructions before entering the manor.
Mo Jingzhou watched Gu Zhan’s departing back, deeply sighed, then lightly tapped his foot, transforming into a streak of light rushing into the sky. Just as he was about to fly into the manor, he suddenly frowned, halting in mid-air.
"Hmm?"
Mo Jingzhou extended his hand, a drop of water instantly formed at his fingertip. He slowly lifted his head to gaze at the slightly overcast sky, raising his brow slightly, saying with surprise, "The means of the Water Manipulation Skill... has reached this realm, no wonder the strike from above seemed somewhat familiar!
Mahayana One Slash, Lingyun Soar, Water Manipulation Skill... The path of Martial Arts is challenging as scaling the skies, yet he... Is there truly someone so naturally endowed as this in the world? Just as Yun Wei said, Gu Zhan’s potential might not only be first-tier, but also comparable to the likes of Qi Baiyu and Sword One?"
