The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 1013 Gu Yue's Demise, the Rise of a Great Cultivator

Whoosh!

A dark streak of light pierced the sky, covering an extremely long distance in the blink of an eye.

"Om-"

Within the escaping light, Gu Yueqianfang's dark robes fluttered wildly, and the light in his mind surged wildly, unleashing an unprecedentedly terrifying escape speed.

"Leave here, leave this place immediately."

Gu Yueqianfang silently cried out in his heart, the dark mark between his brows was frantically drawn, and his divine soul power vibrated to the extreme, as if he were willing to pay any price at this moment.

During the Gu Family Ceremony, Black Crow Old Monster was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the power of the Savage Blade was beyond imagination.

Although he escaped unharmed, he was not a fool. He would never place his hopes on such unrealistic things, much less entrust his life and fortune to the mercy of the brute.

He wants to leave this place, as far away as possible.

Only by leaving this dangerous place can he truly find peace.

Whoosh!

As the light pierced through the rainbow, Gu Yueqianfang remained vigilant in the slightest.

A considerable amount of time passed; given his speed, he should have already left the territory of Canglong Prefecture and was approaching the Thunderous Land. Seeing that there was nothing unusual behind him, he finally felt a little relieved.

"They didn't catch up?"

After Gu Yueqian carefully sensed the truth with his divine soul and confirmed it, he truly felt a sense of relief at surviving a calamity.

"It seems that this brute ultimately has some reservations. He knows that some things are better left unresolved and not made a big fuss about!"

Judging from the scene, it's clear that the Ancient Moon Clan was behind this provocation by the Black Crow Old Monster. However, logically and reasonably, this was the Black Crow Old Monster's own action and has absolutely nothing to do with the Ancient Moon Clan.

He was merely a fellow traveler by chance.

Gu Yueqian felt relieved, but his speed did not stop at all.

He would maintain this speed until he returned to the influence of the Ancient Yue Clan, even if...

The consumption of energy during this process was extremely high, and even with his spiritual foundation, it was somewhat difficult for him to withstand.

But some things are not worth gambling on!

The surrounding sky was utterly silent, save for his streak of light traversing the vast expanse. Just as Gu Yueqian was concentrating on sensing the surrounding scenery, a calm, soft voice suddenly rang in his ear.

The voice was calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, but to his ears it sounded like a thunderclap.

"Fellow Daoist is running too slowly. How about I, Chen, give you a ride?"

"What!?"

Gu Yueqianfang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared intently.

In the distance, a streak of blue light, like the sun piercing through the sky, hurtled towards them. One moment it was nowhere to be seen, the next it rolled in like a thunderbolt.

From the moment it appeared in his perception to the moment it surged like a tidal wave, a mere instant.

"Berserk Blade!"

Gu Yueqianfang was shocked. In that terrifying speed, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

He had only ever felt this sense of oppression from the clan's chief cultivator, Gu Yuezhong, and Gu Yue Taishang.

"This is."

Gu Yueqian's face showed surprise. Before he could even put together a complete sentence, he was sent flying like a broken boulder.

boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave erupted, with gale-force winds and sonic booms. Under extreme compression, the air churned into terrifying waves, rippling outwards in concentric circles.

A flash of azure light appeared with a terrifying speed that defied common sense. Amidst the terrifying shockwave, several streaks of light appeared and disappeared behind Gu Yueqianfang's figure, which plummeted like a mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, let's set off!"

A cold, indifferent voice, devoid of any warmth, rang in Gu Yueqianfang's ears.

As he plummeted rapidly, he felt his mind and soul in disarray, his blood surging wildly, and he was terrified. Suddenly, a sound rang in his ears, and he struggled to turn his head, trying to find the source of the sound.

But before he could see Qinghong's full appearance, a long and powerful hand had already grabbed his neck.

"Spare my life, hehe!"

Gu Yueqian's eyes widened in shock, his expression one of extreme terror.

An overwhelming and terrifying aura, as majestic as a mountain, imprisoned him in an irresistible manner.

His once-proud spiritual foundation, the Dao Foundation that spans the rainbow, seemed so insignificant at this moment.

boom!

Countless divine souls surged forth, pressing down like Mount Tai crashing down. In an instant, Gu Yueqianfang bled from all seven orifices, his internal organs shattered like dust.

"Ho ho."

Gu Yueqian's eyes widened. At this moment, he could finally see the figure of the person who made the move.

Looking at the calm, indifferent, and excessively young face before him, he uttered his last words.

"Everyday Major Repair"

Gu Yueqian's blood frothed like foam, his eyes staring blankly. In despair, fear, and extreme shock, the last light in his eyes was extinguished.

Chen Ping'an, the valiant swordsman.

The Great Cultivation of Heaven and Man!

Hahahaha

Gu Yueqianfang's soul vanished, and he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Bang!

With a deafening explosion, Gu Yueqianfang's corpse vanished into the endless void.

Gu Yue clan's dispatched elder, Gu Yue Qianfang, has fallen!

"That's simple."

High in the sky, looking at the surrounding waves of energy, Chen Ping'an remained calm and withdrew his hand.

Under the oppressive power of his powerful divine soul, Gu Yueqianfang's divine soul could not even last a moment and instantly collapsed. Under the terrifying shock, even his physical body could not be preserved.

This level of difference is much simpler than him making a move openly.

With a perfect foundation in his divine soul, extraordinary phenomena in his divine soul, and the combined strength of the Seven Forbidden Techniques and the Azure Spirit Heart Method, his divine soul power has long surpassed that of the vast majority of Celestial Realm cultivators.

Even a celestial cultivator would likely be shaken and tremble with fear upon facing his peak divine soul.

Not to mention Gu Yueqianfang, who hasn't even truly reached the second realm of perfection.

Whoosh!

Chen Pingan gently reached out, and the Thousand-Machine Bag, which was falling continuously in mid-air, landed in his hand.

With his current perspective, he might not find Gu Yueqianfang's possessions particularly appealing, but they were better than nothing, and all of them could serve as part of his personal wealth.

A blue light flashed in Chen Ping'an's eyes as he looked around, but he couldn't sense any hidden presence.

He glanced at the vast expanse of blank clouds exposed by the explosions and vibrations, and after confirming that nothing had been missed, he roared away and left.

With his current speed, even if Gu Yueqianfang runs ahead for a few days, he can easily catch up as long as the mark is clear.

As for the mark, it was planted by his divine soul during the grand ceremony when he exerted his divine soul power.

Given his spiritual foundation and martial arts realm, Gu Yueqianfang would not have any reaction to his mental shock; he would only feel that it was the aftereffect of his mental disturbance.

This soul-tracking mark is naturally one of the essences of the Seven Forbidden Techniques.

The first attempt has yielded amazing results in actual combat. The only pity is that the soul imprint cannot be maintained for very long.

The specific circumstances are influenced by numerous factors and will be determined based on the actual situation.

When Chen Ping'an returned to Canglong Prefecture, Gu Zhengnan, Gu Qingchan, and others were already waiting for him in the back garden of the Gu family.

"Ping An, you've arrived."

Seeing Chen Ping'an arrive in a flash of light, Gu Zhengnan stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Gu Qingchan, dressed in a light blue palace dress, was elegant and graceful. She also nodded slightly to him as a sign of respect.

"Elder Zheng Nan." Chen Ping'an returned the greeting with a cupped hand, his gaze naturally falling on the spirit wine that had been prepared for some time on the long table: "Fourth-grade spirit wine!? Elder Zheng Nan, how could you spend so much?"

"Haha, Ping An, you've worked hard today. There's no need for such expense. It's only right." Gu Zhengnan laughed naturally and amiably. He picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Chen Ping An.

"Ping An, you take a look."

"Elder Zheng Nan has really gone all out," Gu Qingchan said with a smile, her eyes sparkling.

"Good wine!" Chen Ping'an took a sip and felt a surge of heat, his whole body felt comfortable, and he even felt his blood swell.

He happened to hear this, so he turned his head to look at Gu Qingchan and said with a smile.

"Elder Zheng Nan has gone to such lengths, sparing no expense. I wonder if Elder Qing Chan has any thoughts on this?"

Gu Zhengnan and Chen Pingan were quite close and knew each other well, so he didn't take Chen Pingan's teasing to heart. However, upon hearing Chen Pingan's words, Gu Qingchan's elegant and beautiful face showed a hint of unease, and deep shame and annoyance were hidden in the depths of her starry eyes.

Clearly, Chen Ping'an's words had given her some unpleasant thoughts.

Fortunately, the slight unease in her expression vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace, and her beauty returned to its original radiance. Gu Zhengnan, meanwhile, was exchanging pleasantries and discussing philosophy with Chen Ping'an, pouring wine, and remained oblivious.

However, Gu Qingchan didn't respond immediately, and the resulting silence made Gu Zhengnan turn his head slightly, looking at her with considerable curiosity. Gu Qingchan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that her reaction had been unusual. If she didn't respond promptly, it might lead to unintended negative associations.

"Lord Chen, what kind of gesture do you wish for me?"

Gu Qingchan looked cheerful, maintaining the playful atmosphere between them.

"I am not as wealthy and powerful as Elder Zheng Nan, and I may not be able to meet your needs."

"It's alright." Chen Ping'an's expression was warm and he said with a gentle smile, "I don't ask for much. Elder Qingchan, whenever you have time, you can discuss and exchange ideas with me."

"Discussion and exchange of ideas?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingchan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Is it something we can say now?

Gu Qingchan was so flustered that she almost lost her composure on the spot.

She glanced at Gu Zhengnan and saw his questioning expression, so she quickly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

She glared at Chen Ping'an with resentment.

If it weren't for Gu Zhengnan's presence, she would have been tempted to bite Chen Ping'an right now.

But at this moment, she could only maintain her composure and reply with elegance and grace: "Fellow Daoist Chen is joking. Am I not discussing the Dao with you, sir?"

"Indeed." Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an smiled faintly, took a sip of wine, and felt quite pleased with himself.

With his divine sense, he keenly perceived Gu Qingchan's emotional changes and felt that this scene was particularly interesting.

It's rare to see Gu Qingchan like this on a normal day, so I couldn't help but want to tease her a little.

As for Gu Zhengnan...

Chen Pingan glanced at Gu Zhengnan, who was looking amused and intrigued, seemingly oblivious to the scene before him.

Whether you know it or not, you're going to find out eventually anyway.

If someone notices it, it can be considered as a prelude.

The atmosphere in the room was quite harmonious. Gu Zhengnan chuckled a few times, sipped his wine quietly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

His expression was slightly closed, as if he were deep in thought.

The grand event for the Gu family, the Heavenly Ceremony, has come to an end, but for the Gu family, the subsequent social interactions, exchanges, and a series of supporting activities are far from over.

There is still much they need to do.

With plenty of time remaining after this trip to Canglong, Chen Ping'an was not hesitant to stay at the Gu family's house for a few more days.

The current situation is of paramount importance to the Gu family.

His presence or absence makes a completely different difference.

After the ceremony concluded, he stayed overnight at the Gu family's residence, which was seen by outsiders as a clear declaration of his stance and a unique boost to the Gu family's prestige and reputation.

This reflects the close relationship between the two parties and their friendly and trusting interaction.

Especially.

After that shocking incident occurred at the ceremony.

The seasoned powerhouse, Black Crow Old Monster, made a surprise appearance at the Gu family's Heavenly Ceremony, challenging the Gu family's prestige. Mang Dao stepped in and forcefully suppressed him.

This matter spread rapidly through various channels on the same day the ceremony concluded.

Having reached the second realm of perfection, the Black Crow Old Monster, a Celestial Being with a rainbow-like appearance, appeared at the Gu Family Celestial Being Grand Ceremony and was brutally suppressed by the Wild Blade.

Mangdao

A genius of extraordinary talent, on the day of the Gu family's grand ceremony, he broke through to the peak of the first realm in the face of battle, his combat power and momentum were terrifying, and he suppressed the Black Crow Old Monster in Canglong Prefecture City!

Similar news items may have different versions and angles, but they all essentially tell the same story.

In just a few days, Chen Ping'an's momentum swept wildly from Canglong Prefecture City to Xuanling Heavy City, Yanlie Prefecture City, and other places.

Although the borders of several states are thousands of miles apart, for martial arts masters, the news can be spread completely in just a few days.

Such rumors have long since transcended the ordinary social class and are beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts practitioners.

For some practitioners, this is no less than some secret news, a major piece of information that is beyond their level.

Those who can reach this level are at least martial arts grandmasters, and they are martial arts grandmasters with impressive family backgrounds, reputations, and combat strength.

The mainstream of its information dissemination is mostly at the pseudo-celestial level, but there are quite a few true martial arts celestial beings among them.

When the news reached Xuanling City, it naturally caused a great stir. Representatives from all sides and their garrison were shaken to their core.

Those who were old acquaintances or had had contact with Chen Ping'an felt an indescribable mix of emotions upon hearing the news.

"Has he really come to this?"

how long?"

Countless people looked on in astonishment, their hearts trembling.

These next few days are destined to be anything but peaceful for the people of the various states of Bicang.

Public opinion is rife, and rumors continue to circulate.

Chen Ping'an settled into the Gu family's residence peacefully.

It is worth mentioning that on the evening after their discussion that day, Chen Ping'an went to see Gu Qingchan.

When they met in private, Gu Qingchan couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction. She was particularly unhappy with the scene that had unfolded during the day.

just

This dissatisfaction quickly dissipated as Chen Ping'an explored and played with it.

Despite trying to maintain an air of accountability, they ultimately succumbed to that brutal offensive.

Over the course of a few days, Chen Ping'an spent his evenings discussing Daoist principles and his days cultivating, meticulously studying secret techniques and methods, living a very comfortable life.

As for the Black Crow Old Monster and the resources on Gu Yue Qianfang's body, he also took care of them, concealing their aura, categorizing them, and making proper arrangements.

Sell ​​what needs to be sold, and utilize what needs to be utilized.

Both were seasoned immortals, and although they might not have carried their entire fortune, their gains were still considerable. Combined, these two gains represented another significant benefit to Chen Ping'an's wealth.

Both of them were senior Celestial Beings at the Second Realm, and each possessed more than one precious treasure.

In particular, Old Monster Black Crow had cultivated to the perfection of the second realm. Although his combat power was mediocre, he possessed several precious treasures.

Chen Ping'an didn't fancy the other ordinary items, but he did take a liking to the black rusted ancient lock.

As a relatively rare and precious treasure of the divine soul, it also provides him with considerable assistance.

The only pity is that this black rusted ancient lock has been damaged before, and its grade seems to have dropped. Although it is not a common treasure, it is still a bit inferior to a fine treasure.

In addition to all the precious treasures, Chen Ping'an also acquired a cultivation technique and several secret arts.

The secret technique was mediocre in power and its effects were strange, so he didn't think much of it. As for the cultivation method, it was quite remarkable, but it lacked the essence of inheritance, so if he wanted to cultivate it, he would need to study it quietly on his own.

Compared to directly grasping the essence of a concept or getting started, this approach is undoubtedly much slower.

Given his current options, he has little interest in the Blood Raven Technique.

"In total, my wealth and resources amount to several million. Even excluding some resources that are difficult to convert into cash, my current wealth is probably enough to approach that of a top-tier cultivator."

Having seized a series of opportunities and reaped numerous victories, Chen Ping'an was confident in this.

The only pity is that he can't use most of the resources he has. To truly make use of them, he needs to find suitable channels.

"Wentian City".

Chen Ping'an looked hopeful and began planning his upcoming itinerary.

After a long while, he finally calmed his thoughts and narrowed his eyes slightly.

hum~

The clear light converged, and a light curtain appeared.

"Over 40% of imports have been completed!"

His gaze flickered slightly, and the panel vanished.

Chen Ping'an gently closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

The mountains and passes are difficult to cross, but let them serve as a ladder to the clouds. The mighty wind blows, carrying away those who soar to the heavens.

The moon shines over the mountains and passes, and the wind blows mightily.

The ocean is vast and the stars are brilliant.

The vast landscape begins beneath our feet.

hum~

A spark of inspiration shone through, and a divine soul seemed to stir within.
