Chapter 342 - 270: Does the Danyang Sect Have the Right?_4
At this moment, the most shocked person was actually the involved party, Wei Wuya.
Only he could truly experience the might of Gu Zhan firsthand.
Their clash involved no flashy phenomena and no earth-shattering duel.
However, experts could recognize,
that this was the Great Dao returned to simplicity.
This kind of confrontation was the true pinnacle of combat.
Wei Wuya’s forearm muscles bulged, his eyes filled with astonishment. He knew Gu Zhan had formidable strength, but never expected he had accumulated power to such an extent.
In this clash, he could clearly perceive that Gu Zhan’s realm was slightly lower, yet his cultivated foundation had amassed to a degree that was hard to believe, equaling Wei Wuya’s decades-long accumulation.
Most importantly, it was the aura.
He, who had been the undisputed number one in the Martial World for over thirty years,
was actually being suppressed!
He was unexpectedly being suppressed!
Watching his arm sink lower, Wei Wuya quickly extended another hand to place it on Gu Zhan’s shoulder, lightly laughed and said, "Gu Palm Seal, please calm your anger. The people from the Astronomical Bureau have arrived outside, we cannot let outsiders underestimate our Yunxi Martial Arts."
Gu Zhan showed a faint smile on his face and serenely said, "Sect Leader Wei, during the great battle between Righteous Dao and Demon Dao, I single-handedly shouldered half of the Demon Dao; the merits of the Righteous Dao are nearly half attributed to myself. Can I occupy that seat?"
After saying that,
Gu Zhan placed his other hand on Wei Wuya’s shoulder.
At that moment,
Wei Wuya’s shoulder suddenly sank, and his face twitched fiercely.
Meanwhile, other supreme grandmasters and grandmasters in the hall showed even greater shock.
Wei Wuya had fallen behind again,
and Gu Zhan was stepping over Song Lingjun, a grandmaster renowned for many years,
equivalent to Gu Zhan using his aura alone to suppress two veteran top-tier powerhouses.
This invincible aura was unbelievably strong!
Wei Wuya’s heart trembled fiercely,
he really couldn’t imagine how Gu Zhan, a young man not much better off than a commoner, could possess such a powerful invincible aura, putting him, who had been the number one in the Martial Arts realm for decades, to shame.
However, at this moment,
he had to brace himself even if he couldn’t hold up,
For if he admitted defeat, it would mean conceding victory to Gu Zhan,
which would leave Sword King City’s reputation trampled by a junior.
Just then,
another supreme grandmaster from Sword King City, Grand Elder Yuan Zhixiang realized that Wei Wuya had been completely overwhelmed by Gu Zhan’s aura, immediately stepped forward to grab the arms of the two, and lightly laughed, "Gu Palm Seal, what words are these? Given your achievements, why should you not sit in this position? At the battle of Bright Moon Gorge, you singularly suppressed half of the Demon Dao from responding, bolstering the prestige of our Righteous Dao. If not you, who else dares sit here?"
The intervention of a third top-tier expert,
separated the two whose contention had reached the extreme.
Wei Wuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief,
today he almost lost face completely; had Yuan Zhixiang not acted sooner, he couldn’t hold back from summoning Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi first—had it really come to that, it would have tarnished Sword King City’s prestige.
Gu Zhan lightly laughed, withdrew his hand, then leaned down to look at the Song Lingjun beneath him, and said gravely, "Sect Leader Song, after all this time, have you thought clearly? Does the Danyang Sect have the qualification to speak to me in this manner?"
Having witnessed the previous scene firsthand, Song Lingjun looked at Gu Zhan, his pale face full of frustration, gritted his teeth hard, and said solemnly, "I beg Gu Palm Seal’s forgiveness. Danyang Sect’s rules are not strict, there have been many transgressions, I ask for your tolerance!"
