Gu He's Frustration

Mo Tang's statement was certainly not out of arrogance or conceit.

In fact, he valued Gu He very much.

A sixth-grade alchemist's control over flames has reached an absolutely terrifying level.

In addition, he also possessed a very powerful purple flame. Although it was not Heavenly Flames, Mo Tang could sense that the power of that flame should surpass that of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Flame.

Mo Tang's biggest advantage over Gu He right now is his unpredictable speed, coupled with the indistinguishable clones of the Three Thousand Lightning Movement after its Grand Completion...

If you add the terrifying power of the Netherworld Death Seal, this would give Mo Tang the strength to instantly kill all enemies of the same realm!

Of course, he definitely wouldn't just kill Gu He outright...

Putting aside whether this would cause trouble for himself, even from his own perspective, keeping a Sixth-grade Alchemist like this is a very good choice.

With a slight smile, Mo Tang looked at the other person with full confidence and said, "Shall we begin?"

Faced with Mo Tang's behavior, Gu He was furious but also laughed. He clenched his fist, and his Dou Qi fluctuated. In an instant, it condensed into a deep purple longsword in his palm, with flames burning fiercely on it.

Mo Tang slightly raised a finger and said softly, "One move!"

Gu He's face twitched slightly; he felt that the guy opposite him was deliberately messing with his mentality...

Even knowing this, he still couldn't stand it!

The purple flame sword in his hand trembled violently, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the air to ripple continuously.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's see who's the best!"

After a brief moment of silence, Gu He's eyes widened suddenly, and with a sharp shout, his Purple Flame wings flapped violently behind him. In an instant, he transformed into a purple shadow and shot towards Mo Tang like lightning.

His figure flashed across the sky, and with the help of powerful Dou Qi, the sharp sword tip easily sliced through the air. In the blink of an eye, the sword tip was already at Mo Tang's chest.

Mo Tang seemed to have no intention of dodging at all, and actually watched as the other party's sword pierced his chest...

"What?!"

Everyone around was shocked.

Didn't he confidently say he could defeat the Pill King in one move? Why can't he even dodge now?

Of those present, only Fa Ma noticed something amiss.

"No! That's an illusion!"

Fa Ma was suddenly startled and quickly looked around the square and the sky, but he couldn't find Mo Tang's true form at all.

"How is that possible!"

At this moment, Fa Ma was truly shocked.

With his own soul power, he was so easily fooled by a little kid...

More importantly, the clone was exactly the same as the original, even in terms of aura and presence, making it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake!

"How could Dou Technique of this level appear in the hands of an ordinary family in the Jia Ma Empire? Could it be that this young man has some other background?"

As an old monster who has lived in the Jia Ma Empire for over a hundred years, how could he not know the strength and power of those families in the Jia Ma Empire?

Not to mention that the Mo Clan, from which Mo Tang was born, is only a second-rate family that has risen in recent years, even the Three Major Powers, or even the Misty Cloud Sect, cannot produce such a mysterious and unpredictable secret technique!

Compared to the onlookers, Gu He, as the person involved, was also taken aback.

Although he wanted to defeat Mo Tang, he didn't intend to kill him...

But when he saw that his flaming sword had pierced through the other man's chest, and instead of blood, wisps of silver lightning flowed out, he knew he had been tricked!

With a flick of his wrist, Gu He's sharp longsword spun rapidly like a venomous snake, ready to sweep across all directions...

However, the lightning clone of Mo Tang that remained in place suddenly disintegrated, turning the area within a ten-meter radius into a sea of lightning.

Although Gu He was protected by his Dou Qi, he couldn't completely avoid being paralyzed by the lightning while surrounded by it...

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough!

In a battle between masters, even a tenth of a second is enough to determine the winner.

Amidst the lightning, an inconspicuous silver flash appeared, and then a figure suddenly appeared beside Gu He.

As Sixth-grade Alchemist, Gu He's soul power is naturally exceptional.

The moment Mo Tang appeared, he had already locked onto the other party's figure.

Unfortunately, as mentioned before...

The moment his body was paralyzed by the lightning, it was all over.

Just as Gu He was about to strike Mo Tang with his sword after catching sight of him, he suddenly felt a sharp blade stop right next to his forehead...

"Plop..."

On the sidelines, someone swallowed hard.

At this moment, Gu He's longsword had vanished, and he was completely stunned.

In front of him, Mo Tang was less than a meter away, the former's right hand forming a sword finger, the sharp tip of the finger pressed against his forehead.

At this moment, if Mo Tang were just one inch forward, he could pierce Gu He's skull and take his life...

In this way, the outcome of the battle is already quite clear.

Is this how we lost?

Gu He was filled with resentment.

It wasn't that he couldn't accept defeat, but rather that Gu He felt he still had many powerful moves he hadn't used yet, and he was defeated so easily.

This feeling left him with only two words in his mind...

Frustrating!

Yes, Gu He is feeling extremely frustrated right now!

But so what?

In front of almost all the alchemists in the Alchemist Guild, he lost so decisively that no one could find any unfairness in his defeat. How could he possibly go back on his word?

For a renowned alchemist like Gu He, it would be better to die than to go through all this!

Thinking of the beautiful woman still sleeping in the room, Gu He's face turned even paler.

However, upon reflecting on the past, I suddenly realized that it was all just wishful thinking on my part.

Gu He was well aware that Yun Yun had never developed any personal feelings for him.

He initially thought this was just Yun Yun treating all men equally, but he eventually discovered that she only treated him the same, while the special man was right across from him...

What could be more despairing for a devoted person than this?

After a moment of distraction, Gu He's eyes slowly regained their light. He looked at the outstanding figure opposite him and gave a bitter smile.

You win!

Upon hearing Gu He admit defeat, silence fell over the area outside the square. They could imagine the devastating impact this defeat would have on Gu He, the Pill King.

Hopefully, this setback won't hinder his progress in alchemy...

Fa Ma thought to himself with a sense of helplessness.

After a moment of silence, Gu He continued, "I will still do my best to save Sect Master Yun... but rest assured, I will not have any further improper intentions. If you don't believe me..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Mo Tang shook his head slightly to interrupt him.

"I trust your character, Alchemist King Gu He..."

"However, I have found a way to save Yun Yun..."
