Chapter 201: Gu Chen Takes Action (Three updates of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)
Liao Yun, backed by five Huanxu Realm cultivators, was preposterously arrogant to the extreme. He wanted Ling Fei and Ke Lan to warm his bed, and as for Gu Chen, he was to kneel on the ground and stab himself.
At this moment, not to mention anyone else, even the generally good-natured Zhao Yi had his ire raised, his eyes red as he glared at Liao Yun.
However, Liao Yun didn't care at all, and the same went for Gu Chen.
In his eyes, these two were merely lowly medicine apprentices. He could subdue them in an instant himself, let alone with the five Huanxu Realm cultivators standing behind him.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, while I'm in a good mood, you still have a choice, otherwise, hmm!" Liao Yun snorted coldly, his gaze malevolent as he eyed Ling Fei and Ke Lan.
Thinking of how he could hold the two women in his arms and torment them at will that night filled Liao Yun with immense excitement, his complexion even turned flushed.
Boom!
Just then, above the heavens, a blasting sound erupted followed by a figure thrown backward, blood spurting from his chest.
"Master!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yi immediately became frantic. The injured was none other than the herb-master of Xuan Yi Sect, Master Lu Qingfeng.
Having followed him for many years, Zhao Yi had come to view him as his own revered master, holding him in utmost respect. Seeing him injured now naturally caused anxiety.
Lu Qingfeng, a man who remained uninvolved in worldly matters, was a respected elder in Xuan Yi Sect's medicine valley, dedicated to refining medicine from morning till night without meddling in any conflicts.
But now, with the survival of Xuan Yi Sect at stake and battles erupting everywhere within the sect, even the valley's elder could not avoid involvement.
Not to mention, he also held a united realm cultivation, making him an extremely crucial combatant, having just faced three opponents alone.
At this moment, even Gu Chen frowned. He could ignore others, but not Lu Qingfeng.
After all, during his more than two years in the medicine valley, Lu Qingfeng had taught him a lot. Moreover, this elderly man was truly devoted to medicine refining, a genuinely pure person.
It could be said that Gu Chen was somewhat indebted to this elder. Moreover, now with the war within Xuan Yi Sect erupting, his peaceful life was ultimately disrupted.
Even if he did not make a move, Xuan Yi Sect would still be obliterated by the joint forces of two great powers after today.
Not to mention, Lu Qingfeng had shown him kindness, and now there was a person provoking him without knowing the gravity of the situation.
"Scoundrel, I'll kill you first, you ingrate!" Ke Lan, young and unable to tolerate these provocations, immediately let out a sharp yell and charged forward with her sword.
"Little junior sister!"
But, quick to react, Ling Fei firmly grabbed Ke Lan, preventing her from advancing.
After all, behind Liao Yun stood not one but five Huanxu Realm experts. They were simply no match for them.
At this moment, Liao Yun's face was filled with a cold smirk, standing there as if he held the winning prize.
He even turned his head, looked at Gu Chen, and barked, "Gu Jiuge, aren't you kneeling down to kill yourself yet? Do you really want me to make a move and flay you alive?!"
He spoke with a tone of superiority, his chin lifted, looking down on Gu Chen from above.
At that moment, Liao Yun's vanity was greatly satisfied, making him feel as though he was floating on clouds.
"Don't waste time talking to them. Let this old man take action… kill those who should be killed and capture those who should be captured," interjected an elder from Bi Bo Sect stepping forward, his eyes sinister, ready to strike at Gu Chen and the others.
Meanwhile, the conflicts elsewhere intensified, turning increasingly hostile against Xuan Yi Sect. If this continued, the great sect would completely collapse within half an hour.
The sect leader of Xuan Yi Sect, along with many elders, were already coughing up blood, on the brink of defeat.
At this moment, a sense of sorrow arose in the hearts of all disciples of Xuan Yi Sect.
"Everyone, get behind me!
Seeing that the Huanxu Realm elder was making his move, Ling Fei quickly yelled, holding a top-grade magical artifact and trying to block with all her might.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly delusional!" the elder from Bi Bo Sect scoffed confidently.
"Very well, let me test you with my palm!", he said.
With those words, the Bi Bo Sect elder showed no mercy. The energy within his body exploded, unsettling the heavens and earth, as he fiercely struck downward with his palm.
Bang!
In an instant, dust was flying everywhere, Gang Wind surged, the ground violently shook, making it difficult for anyone to maintain their balance, their forms swaying.
"Dead or not?"
When everything finally settled, Liao Yun eagerly gazed at a not-so-distant area, wanting to see if Gu Chen, whom he had hated for full two years, had already perished, reduced to a pile of flesh.
However, as the dust cleared and the true scene unfolded before his eyes, he stood there dumbstruck.
The next moment, he stretched out his hands, rubbing his eyes vigorously, thinking maybe he was seeing things.
But then, as he unknowingly glanced with the corner of his eye, he discovered that the Huanxu Realm elders behind him were also standing there, just as dumbfounded.
"This…"
In an instant, an immense sense of terror surged from the depths of Liao Yun's heart, causing every pore on his body to exude a chilling air!
Not to mention them, even the nearby Ling Fei, Ke Lan, and Zhao Yi were stunned.
The very Gu Chen that Ling Fei had intended to protect was now standing in front of them. Facing the full force of a Huanxu Realm powerhouse's strike, he merely extended one finger, firmly blocking it.
