Chapter 449 - 291: Slaughtering Under the Grotto Heaven
Yang Ge furrowed his brows and said, "But how can this child be certain that we absolutely won’t let Gu Zhan be killed?"
"Because we want to use Gu Zhan to deceive the Ling Family and Dugu Faction," Qin You chuckled softly and said, "We have arranged for Gu Zhan to have the titles of Marquis and Grand General of Yunzhou, which is enough to make Marquis Chengyang realize our Astronomical Bureau’s determination to take Yunxi this time. He wouldn’t be suspicious,
but if Gu Zhan dies and we still remain in Yunxi, it will seem too deliberate, and Marquis Chengyang will surely become suspicious. So, Gu Zhan cannot die, at least not until Marquis Chengyang officially rebels!"
Yang Ge nodded and said, "I understand."
After speaking, Yang Ge looked at Gu Zhan again and exclaimed in admiration, "But challenging an entire Martial World with one’s own power, such Martial Arts spirit, it’s no wonder he reached this level at such a young age. It’s a pity he’s like us, a person without Immortal Fate, already at the end of his Martial Arts journey!"
...
Outside the city, rain poured heavily,
The Martial Arts Alliance was silent,
Jin Zhengfeng and others were puzzled by the significance of this action.
Because Gu Zhan is taking action now, he didn’t need to send Yang Ge before.
However, after a brief silence, Xiang Donglai sighed lightly and said, "It’s nothing but fame and fortune, everyone, since this child willingly seeks death, what are we waiting for?"
Jin Zhengfeng’s pupils shrank, he circulated his power and shouted loudly, "Gu Zhan, as a Marquis, but you act against the people and slaughter civilians. Today, we are here to rid the people of a scourge and return justice to the world. Fellow martial artists, follow me, eliminate the demon!"
In the pouring rain, Jin Zhengfeng’s voice was highly energetic, echoing through the wilderness.
"Eliminate the demon!"
Tens of thousands of martial artists shouted in unison, louder and more frightening than the rolling thunder, and the torrential rain seemed to halt for a moment from this cry!
"Kill!"
As the leader, Jin Zhengfeng naturally charged first, and several Supreme Grandmasters followed closely.
At that instant,
the army of tens of thousands from the Martial Arts Alliance collectively surged forward,
In the rain, the dark mass of troops was dense and terrifying, as if an ocean emerged on land.
Above the city walls,
Gu Zhan smiled faintly, turned his head slightly, tightly grasped the Horizontal Saber in his hand, and murmured, "This day has truly been long awaited!"
He felt his blood boiling, his heart could no longer suppress the battle intent, he had long been eagerly waiting.
After the battle at Danyang Mountain,
He succeeded in breaking through to the Supreme Grandmaster realm, directly stepping into the Grandmaster Peak, becoming the closest existence to the Grotto Heaven Realm in this world.
And coincidentally at that time, he embarked on an entirely new Martial Arts path.
He was already among the strongest of the Supreme Grandmasters, and the subsequent physical transformation broke the limits he had as a Supreme Grandmaster,
although his realm cultivation still remained at Supreme Grandmaster,
but he was very clear, now he is invincible in the same realm,
as for how strong he is now, he himself wasn’t sure, he could only clearly feel that after the physical transformation, he has far surpassed his prior self.
...
Watching the Martial Arts Alliance rush toward him,
Gu Zhan smiled faintly, directly leapt off the city wall, and in that instant of his body’s descent, a burst of golden light erupted from him, his skin turning golden in that moment.
This is the Divine Technique Celestial Spirit Golden Body passed down by the Danyang Sect.
He had already cultivated it to the Great Success Realm.
Even Divine Weapons could hardly harm his body.
"Boom"
With a loud bang,
Gu Zhan’s body landed on the ground, creating a deep crater, splattering terrifying mud.
He grasped the Horizontal Saber in his hand,
walked slowly, then quickly, broke into a jog, and finally began to sprint.
Gu Zhan’s body was enveloped in golden light, as if galloping in battle, his momentum was unstoppable, his sturdy body ran quickly like lightning, like the momentum of thousands of troops, the footsteps dense, dragging the Horizontal Saber on the ground, stirring up a mist everywhere.
"Arrogant brat!"
Charging Jin Zhengfeng was very apprehensive of Gu Zhan’s power, shouted defiantly, wielding an Iron Rod of unknown material, which swept through like a white light, stirring up a gale, lifting hundreds of pounds of stone into the air, flying wildly in the dust.
"Humph!"
Gu Zhan snorted coldly, abruptly slashing out with his saber, emitting a galaxy-like brilliance, the killing aura overwhelming.
In a split second,
The saber hit the Iron Rod, producing a massive booming sound.
In that moment, Jin Zhengfeng’s face changed drastically, the terrifying power transmitted from his weapon to his hand, directly causing his palm to bleed, his entire arm numbed.
Yet Gu Zhan did not stop, once again slamming down with his saber.
Jin Zhengfeng gripped the Iron Rod with both hands to block.
Clanging sounds, air waves danced, surrounding boulders soared, under the enormous shockwave flying all around, the pouring rain was shattered into mist everywhere in that moment.
With a "bang",
Jin Zhengfeng’s entire body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Second Uncle, be careful!"
In that instant, Jin Guanyun hurriedly flew up to support Jin Zhengfeng.
In this moment, the five Supreme Grandmasters behind were all shocked,
Although Jin Zhengfeng hadn’t appeared in the martial world for years, he was once one of the ten top experts, yet was severely injured by Gu Zhan in two moves, they were only a moment slow, surprisingly unable to come to his aid.
"Ugh"
Jin Zhengfeng spat another mouthful of blood, spoke grimly, "Don’t directly clash with that brat, his strength is too great, also mastering the Celestial Spirit Golden Body of Danyang Sect!"
Gu Zhan didn’t give them extra time, he twisted his neck, directly wielded his Horizontal Saber, and charged, his foot paused, the ground subsided with a bang, then exploded, turning into powder.
"Surround and finish him!"
Jin Guanyun shouted, instantly taking action.
Immediately, six other Supreme Grandmasters also all attacked simultaneously, followed closely by more than ten arriving Grandmasters.
In that instant, terrifying forces converged, shimmering with endless brilliance, nearly twenty strong individuals surrounded to kill, the raging waves of True Essence surged into the sky, vast and full of power, intimidating, irresistible.
Gu Zhan smiled faintly, facing nearly twenty strong foes, he had no intention of retreating at all, instead he charged directly, slashing out with the Horizontal Saber.
Immediately, several iron chains attacked together from several directions, firmly locking Gu Zhan’s weapon and his right arm, this was several Grandmasters simultaneously taking action.
And seizing that instant,
the first sword strike came from Li Tianhai, Sect Leader of the Golden Crow Sword Sect,
he directly thrust his sword towards Gu Zhan’s chest.
However, in that instant,
Gu Zhan suddenly extended his left hand, directly grasping Li Tianhai’s sword,
then forcefully pulling,
pulling Li Tianhai directly to him!
"Brother Li, be careful!" "Sect Leader Li!"
People exclaimed, quickly attacking Gu Zhan from other directions.
"The first one!"
Gu Zhan stabbed one hand into Li Tianhai’s chest, directly pulling out his heart, then slapped the heart onto the face of the rushing, elderly Xiang Donglai,
"Already so old, but still rushing to find death!"
The heart rested on Xiang Donglai’s face in that instant, Gu Zhan’s palm paused slightly, then pressed down.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the head exploded like a watermelon, brain matter mixed with blood splattering out,
In short time,
two Supreme Grandmasters met a tragic death!
