Chapter 199: The Peaceful Life Will Eventually Be Broken_2
Or he could turn back, with a single thought, the eight God Transformation Realm cultivators of Dark Valley would die miserably, not even a trace of their remains would be left.
However, either of these two methods would shatter the peaceful life Gu Chen currently enjoyed in the Xuan Yi Sect, something he did not wish for.
But doing nothing was not a solution either, so Gu Chen glanced at Ke Lan, who was still sobbing softly, and said, "You leave first, I'll go and draw them away."
"How could that be possible, Big Brother Gu? They are all from the God Transformation Realm, and you, and you..." The young girl was kind-hearted and hesitated to continue, fearing that it might cause Gu Chen discomfort.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and said, "You need to have confidence in your Big Brother Gu. Am I the type of person who would willingly seek death?"
"But still..." Although she said that, Ke Lan still hesitated.
"All right, be obedient, if we delay any further it will really be too late. You wouldn't want your Big Brother Gu to actually go and get himself killed, would you?" Gu Chen's expression became more serious.
"Okay... okay then." It was not until then that the young girl Ke Lan gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Go!"
With that, Gu Chen reached out his hand and gently pushed, Ke Lan suddenly felt herself becoming light as a feather, and in a flash, she was transported hundreds of yards away, disappearing without a trace after a while.
In that place, only Gu Chen was left.
Once he confirmed that the young girl Ke Lan was far away and couldn't perceive anything that happened here anymore, Gu Chen's expression also became calm, standing there with no intention of fleeing.
"Hmm?"
It wasn't long before the people of the Shadow Leopard clan arrived, with the young master in the lead. When he saw Gu Chen standing there alone, he was momentarily stunned.
"Why didn't you run?" he asked subconsciously.
The main reason was that Gu Chen stood there, so composed that it gave him an indescribable feeling.
The other God Transformation Realm members of the Shadow Leopard clan frowned too, one of them sneered and said, "I think, his legs have gone soft from fear, knowing that death is certain, so he does not wish to run. Boy, listen to me, if you kneel down now and beg for mercy, willing to forsake darkness for light, this lord might just spare your life!"
Hearing this, the other members of the Shadow Leopard clan also relaxed their brows, looking at Gu Chen with a sneer, as if looking at a sheep or pig awaiting slaughter.
"Don't waste time, he's not the main target, just cut him down!" the young master of the Shadow Leopard clan frowned.
But at this moment, Gu Chen looked at them and shook his head, saying softly, "What a pity, with only the cultivation of the God Transformation Realm, how many points of merit can you provide?"
"What is he talking about?"
"Could it be that he's gone mad due to fear of death?"
The God Transformation Realm cultivators of the Shadow Leopard clan frowned, the one who spoke first had a cruel smile on his face as he approached Gu Chen and said, "Babbling nonsense, I'll devour you in one bite, lad!"
As soon as the words fell, he was about to transform into his true body to swallow Gu Chen whole.
However, it was at this moment that the man suddenly found he could not move, no, or rather, his body was no longer under his own control.
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, the man looked terrified, yet he could not utter a word, only a soft "puchi" sound could be heard as a gush of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.
He had bitten off his own tongue!
Not only that, his arm stretched out, slowly reaching for his own neck, and then, right there in front of everyone, he strangled himself to death!
This scene truly could be described as horrifying. The members of the Shadow Leopard clan did not recover in time, stunned by the bizarre event, or perhaps they were too shocked to react, standing there dumbfounded and at a loss.
"Too little," Gu Chen shook his head; as expected, a God Transformation Realm Shadow Leopard had only given him a little more than a thousand points of merit, which could only be described as better than nothing.
"You..."
At this moment, how could the people of the Shadow Leopard Clan not know that everything before them was Gu Chen's doing?
"Gulping!" Someone swallowed their saliva, looking at Gu Chen with a face full of fear, their body unable to stop trembling.
"You... who exactly are you?" The young master of the Shadow Leopard Clan asked with a quivering voice, trying to suppress his palpitations.
"Gu Jiuge." Gu Chen said indifferently.
"Is he really Gu Jiuge?!"
It was as if they had been struck by lightning; upon hearing those three words again, everyone from the Shadow Leopard Clan shuddered uncontrollably, as if they were chaff in the wind.
Thump thump thump!
In the next moment, before they could utter another word, including the young master of the Shadow Leopard Clan, every person present exploded into a shower of blood and died.
As for Gu Chen, he just stood there quietly in the distance, not saying a word, untouched by the cascading blood rain around him.
"The great perfection of the Cycle Seal technique is indeed extraordinary," Gu Chen nodded slightly to himself.
Just now, he had stripped away the bodily control of every member of the Shadow Leopard Clan, taking over their bodies. Whatever he wanted to do, he could make happen; like puppets of his own, with a thought, they would meet death.
Following that, light radiated from Gu Chen's eyes, resplendent and brilliant. He momentarily used his Heavenly Eye to survey the surroundings and immediately saw Ling Fei fleeing in the distance, and Fan Guang and others appearing frantic and desperate.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, Gu Chen's figure flashed, and he appeared close to where Fan Guang and the others were.
"Who?!"
The sudden appearance of Gu Chen startled Fan Guang and others who were in pursuit and searching for Ling Fei's whereabouts.
"How come it's you, kid?" Upon recognizing that it was Gu Chen, Fan Guang and the others were momentarily stunned.
Because, in their minds, Gu Chen and Ke Lan should have already fallen into the hands of the Shadow Leopard Clan by now, so how could he appear here?
"Those guys must have gone after that girl Ke Lan!" Fan Guang's face darkened as he thought this.
After all, in their eyes, compared to Ling Fei and Ke Lan, Gu Chen indeed seemed an "insignificant" person, someone who could be killed offhand.
"Kid, I admire your courage, offending me and yet not thinking of running away, even daring to show up here?" Fan Guang sneered.
"However, having offended me means that your time is up, and you can go to hell now!" Fan Guang bellowed, reaching out his hand, his mana flashing, intending to directly crush Gu Chen's neck.
"Huh?!"
But in the next moment, Fan Guang froze, and blood spurted in the void, but it was not Gu Chen's blood, it was Fan Guang's.
He had pierced his own chest with his palm, and now Fan Guang wore a face of utter disbelief.
"How... is this possible?!" He was dumbfounded, feeling his life rapidly ebbing away, which filled him with even greater fear.
At this time, Gu Chen seemed to sense something, his expression changing slightly as he quickly turned his head to look into the distance, at the location of the Xuan Yi Sect's mountain gate.
"It seems that the peaceful life will eventually be disturbed, perhaps, it is also time to leave," Gu Chen frowned, sighing softly.
