Chapter 317 - 265: Massacre
"Gu Zhan, mighty and powerful!"
"Palm Seal, mighty and powerful!"
"Demon Dao scum, not worth a strike!"
"..."
Immediately, on the battlefield, many high-ranking members and talents of the Demon Dao also took notice.
"Impudent brat, don’t be arrogant!"
"Kill!"
"..."
In an instant, many from the Demon Dao rushed towards Gu Zhan’s side to kill.
Gu Zhan rode alone on horseback, his black battle armor somewhat damaged, his tattered cloak flapping in the wind. He brandished the heavy Jade Bone Saber in his hand, channeling True Essence and shouted:
"Come and fight!"
On the battlefield, chaos and excitement reigned, members of the Righteous and Demonic Daos were engaged in a life-and-death struggle, blood spilling everywhere, cries of battle echoing all around, as many from the Demon Dao swarmed towards Gu Zhan.
"Do you think by outnumbering us, you can bully us, thinking there are no people in the Righteous Dao?"
A high and spirited voice rang out, from a corner of the battlefield, where Nangong Weiyang swung her Fangtian Halberd, instantly cutting down a large group of Demon Dao followers, riding towards Gu Zhan’s direction, her golden battle armor drenched in blood.
Immediately, a group of experts from Qianyu Sect followed closely behind.
With Nangong Weiyang’s shout, someone immediately responded: "Let’s go, the Demon Dao is shameless, let’s annihilate them!"
This person was the Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Jin Yuanbao, a chubby, fair-skinned young man, his round face looking like a fifteen-sixteen-year-old child, who laughingly rode along with Nangong Weiyang and her group into battle.
"Young Valley Master!"
The experts from Medicine King Valley were all shocked and had no choice but to follow along.
At this time, a young bald man from the Golden Crow Sword Sect, holding a thick iron rod in his hand, shouted excitedly, "Jin Yuanbao, wait for me, I want to join too!"
This man was Niu Pei, the leading figure of the younger generation in the Golden Crow Sword Sect, nicknamed Little Vajra, and the main seed cultivated by the sect, accompanied and protected by a Grandmaster.
Upon hearing Niu Pei’s shout, the Grandmaster beside him was startled and hurriedly stopped Niu Pei, saying, "My little ancestor, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what the Sect Leader instructed you? Don’t act recklessly!"
"Nonsense," Niu Pei retorted irritably, "the younger generations of the Five Great Sects have all gone, if I don’t go, what face will our Golden Crow Sword Sect have left?"
The Grandmaster rolled his eyes.
You clearly just want to join in the fun, what does this have to do with the sect’s reputation.
"Even the leader of Sword King City didn’t go..."
Niu Pei replied, "He’s gone, didn’t you see Sword One always following Nangong Weiyang?"
The Grandmaster was momentarily stunned, indeed seeing Sword One from Sword King City beside Nangong Weiyang, although Nangong Weiyang was so imposing, that Sword One, the Sword Son of Sword King City, seemed like a mere follower beside her.
"But..."
Niu Pei directly rode his horse towards the Grandmaster, angrily saying, "If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll even beat you up!"
The Grandmaster’s mouth twitched, left with no choice but to follow suit.
In one area of the battlefield,
Sword King City’s Wei Zi’ang coldly watched the talents rushing towards Gu Zhan, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
...
Gu Zhan was situated at the entrance of Bright Moon Gorge,
where wind and sand swept through, war fires surged,
he donned a black battle armor, covered in blood all over, his hair slightly disheveled, flying in the breeze as he gazed quietly at the Demon Dao army assembled and rushing from the other side.
At this moment, a team of people rushed up behind Gu Zhan, led by Nangong Weiyang and her Qianyu Sect members. She wore a golden battle armor, riding a bright red Red Fire Dragon Steed, looking trim and heroic.
"Brother Gu, mighty and powerful!"
Nangong Weiyang, dragging her Fangtian Halberd, approached Gu Zhan, admiringly saying, "Brother Gu, today you are the most spectacular on the battlefield!"
Gu Zhan slowly turned his head, saying, "Miss Nangong is also second to none."
With that, Gu Zhan looked at Sword One, who was hiding behind Nangong Weiyang on a little donkey, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother Sword One!"
Sword One hastily cupped his hands, stammering, "Gu... Brother Gu, Brother Gu... mighty and powerful!"
Seeing Sword One’s timid appearance, Nangong Weiyang rolled her eyes, chastising, "Don’t you feel embarrassed? You’ve fought for so long and haven’t killed a single person, whereas Brother Gu has already killed two Grandmasters of the Moon Worship Sect!"
Sword One lowered his head, smiling sheepishly, "I... I... I don’t know how to kill..."
"Then why did you come?" Nangong Weiyang asked, exasperated.
"I... I..."
Sword One, in a voice barely above a whisper, said, "I came to protect you..."
At this moment, a rather childish voice chimed in, "Brother Gu, you’re true to your word, you said you’d kill the Grandmasters of the Moon Worship Sect and you did. I declare, from now on, you are the person I, Yuanbao, admire the most!"
Another group arrived.
Leading them was a chubby, white-skinned young man, dressed whimsically, resembling a rich landlord’s foolish son, the type who’s foolish but wealthy, his round face particularly cheerful.
Gu Zhan immediately guessed this person’s identity,
it was Jin Yuanbao, ranked fourth on the Celestial Pride List, the Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, often called the Child of Fortune in the Martial World.
For his luck made countless people envious.
Jin Yuanbao had never liked cultivation since childhood, nor did he have any talent for it. Even a sect like Medicine King Valley, specializing in elixirs and medical arts, couldn’t make him cultivate. Normally, he should have just been a wealthy gentleman for life.
Indeed, Jin Yuanbao was the kind of person with no great ambitions, quite content with the status quo, living peacefully from childhood to adulthood.
Until one day,
Jin Yuanbao visited the home of his fiancée, to whom he had been betrothed since childhood, and overheard her talking to her family. He learned that she actually looked down on him for not understanding Martial Arts, only associating with him because of his status. After all, she came from a small family with the sole aim of currying favor with Medicine King Valley.
