Chapter 409 - 284: Solo Against the Martial World (Part 3)
In the chaotic square,
Gu Zhan looked at the masters attacking from all directions, a faint smile appeared on his face, he slashed through a few small minions surrounding him, slightly twisted his neck, and softly said, "Let’s end this quickly!"
At that moment, he summoned the system:
[Use 50 million Experience Points]
[Thunder Slash upgraded to Great Success Realm]
...
In that instant,
Suddenly a clap of thunder erupted in the sky, from the clouds of flying snow, endless blazing electric beams burst forth, equally a field of thunder,
"Slash!"
Gu Zhan let out a long howl, wielding the Horizontal Saber to strike in rotation, "Crack, crack..." Instantly, the thunder roared deafeningly, the heavens and earth were filled with electric beams, as Gu Zhan swung each saber, columns of thunder beams converged like the sea, roaring away.
A hurricane arose between heaven and earth, a hurricane formed from converging thunder.
In that instant, wails sounded one after another,
One Great Cultivator after another turned to ashes in the thunder.
This scene,
Directly stunned Song Lingjun and several Grandmasters to the extreme,
"The Thunder Slash of the Qianyu Sect!"
Upon seeing this, Song Lingjun finally confirmed it was indeed the Thunder Slash Divine Technique of the Qianyu Sect.
Patriarch Wu exclaimed, "Is the Qianyu Sect colluding with Gu Zhan?"
"Nonsense," Song Lingjun said grimly, "Is the Qianyu Sect qualified to teach Gu Zhan? This Thunder Slash, no one in the Qianyu Sect has cultivated it in hundreds of years, only recently has there been a Nangong Weiyang, but even Nangong Weiyang may not be as accomplished as Gu Zhan!"
"None of this matters," Patriarch Yu said somewhat panicked, "Sect Leader Song, what’s going on, why hasn’t Qi Baiyu arrived yet?"
Song Lingjun’s expression froze, saying, "I don’t know what’s happening either, Qi Baiyu has always been waiting at the foot of the mountain, he should have arrived by now!"
Patriarch Wu suddenly frowned, saying, "I suspect we may have been set up?"
"What do you mean?" Patriarch Yu asked.
Patriarch Wu said, "That damned Wei Wuya probably wants us to clash with Gu Zhan until both sides suffer, so they can reap the benefits, this is the most advantageous situation for Sword King City, although we agreed to follow Sword King City’s lead in the future, isn’t it more practical to take over Beidou Bang ourselves!"
Song Lingjun’s face also changed dramatically at that moment.
The few exchanged a glance,
"Retreat!"
Patriarch Wu grabbed Song Lingjun’s hand, saying, "Sect Leader Song, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood, our elite forces are all waiting at the mountain foot, let’s retreat immediately, we’ll send signal flares for support, then we can drown Gu Zhan with one spit from each of us, once all of Lu Yuan Dao moves, Wei Wuya will have to maintain Sword King City’s reputation, he won’t stand by idly!"
Song Lingjun bit his lip, immediately took out a signal flare and launched it into the sky.
Shortly thereafter, Patriarch Wu and others also launched signal flares one after another.
When those signal flares exploded in the air,
On Danyang Mountain, the disciples of the Danyang Sect began fleeing down the mountain, and Song Lingjun and others sped towards the mountain foot as fast as they could.
On the square,
Gu Zhan swung his saber swiftly, cutting down two Grandmasters, chuckled, lightly tapped his foot, and in an instant, his figure disappeared into thin air.
Meanwhile, Song Lingjun and others fleeing on the other side were nervously watching Gu Zhan’s movements, when they saw Gu Zhan disappear, everyone felt a sense of imminent danger.
"Split up!" Patriarch Wu decided promptly.
"No..."
Song Lingjun exclaimed in horror, having long plotted against Beidou Bang, he had been paying attention to Gu Zhan while in Great Desert City, he had personally witnessed Gu Zhan possessing several Dharma Golden Bodies, one of which was in the Lightweight Skill Class.
Thus, he knew very well, when it came to speed, none of them could match Gu Zhan, and they definitely couldn’t win in solo combat, so they couldn’t split up; splitting up would allow Gu Zhan to kill them one by one, and they wouldn’t be able to escape far, whereas if they stayed together, combining battle with retreat, they had some hope of waiting for reinforcements from various sects.
However, he couldn’t stop them in time, and Patriarch Wu and others quickly separated; their fear of Gu Zhan was too great, and upon suspecting they might have been trapped by Wei Wuya, they couldn’t muster the will to resist Gu Zhan, thinking only of escaping, dividing up and running, hoping Gu Zhan could only pursue one person, leaving fate to determine who had the worse luck.
In the next moment,
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky,
Song Lingjun’s face changed drastically, he lifted his head abruptly, and saw a stream of clouds whirling down the snow-filled firmament, he immediately gathered all his cultivation and struck with his sword,
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt descended, directly hitting Song Lingjun’s chest.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward, breaking several big trees, and when he struggled to stand up,
Gu Zhan descended from the sky,
Stepping down on Song Lingjun’s head.
The immense force directly forced Song Lingjun’s legs to bend, with a loud crash he knelt on the ground, his knees sinking into the soil.
Gu Zhan performed a 360-degree flip and stepped on Song Lingjun’s head again.
"Ugh..."
A mouthful of blood surged up from his throat, Song Lingjun staggered, blood spurted from his mouth, his life extinguished in an instant, his eyes filled with unwillingness, gazing at Gu Zhan before him, murmuring, "I... I really am... truly not convinced... Beidou Bang... Beidou Bang, why..."
