Pill King Gu He? What Was There to Say About One-Shotting Him?

Upon hearing that clear, resounding laughter echoing across the sky, countless gazes on the plaza instantly shifted upwards, and then they saw Xiao Yuan, dressed in a white robe, standing with Douqi Wings on his back, arms crossed, high in the sky.

At the Wedding Stage platform, after hearing the laughter, Yun Shan's face gradually darkened. He raised his head, his gaze seemingly penetrating space, staring directly at the white-clad youth in the sky who was flapping his Azure Douqi qi wings. His cold voice echoed throughout the square.

"Heh, a mere Dou Wang dares to cause trouble at my Misty Cloud Sect?"

Yun Shan's cold laughter immediately sparked a series of surprised whispers in the square.

"So what if you're Dou Wang? Among you all here, who advanced to Dou Wang at the age of eighteen?"

Xiao Yuan wasn't afraid of that old man Yun Shan at all. If it weren't for giving Yun Yun face and not wanting to make things difficult for her, he would have already taken action and wouldn't have said anything more.

But Xiao Yuan's question truly stumped everyone.

Not to mention everyone present, even in the entire history of the Jia Ma Empire, there have been very few people who have been able to break through to the Dou Wang level before the age of twenty.

Not to mention someone like Xiao Yuan, who became Dou Wang at eighteen and Nine-Star Dou Wang at nineteen.

If we include Xiao Yuan's cultivation from scratch since he was fifteen, it can be said that Xiao Yuan only took four years to reach this point.

Looking across the entire continent, he is an unparalleled genius.

Who are you?

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's expression changed. To be able to break through to the Dou Wang in such a short time, this kid must have a powerful background, and he should not be easily provoked.

"Xiao Yuan? What kind of medicine did you take? You've actually broken through to the Dou Wang Stage?"

Wearing a hemp robe, Jia Xingtian flashed to Xiao Yuan's side. Feeling Xiao Yuan's oppressive aura, he was startled, but on the surface, he still pretended to be surprised.

"Jia Lao, it's been a year. How have you been?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Don't interrupt! What exactly happened to you this past year? How did you manage to cultivate from Da Dou Shi to Dou Wang?"

Jia Xingtian ignored Xiao Yuan's polite words and asked with a face full of doubt.

Is it really that difficult to cultivate to the level of Dou Wang?

Xiao Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that advancing to Dou Emperor required mastering any one of the Six Qi Transformations, he could have taken drugs and advanced to Dou Emperor on his way here.

However, with this transformation of the Shao Yin Sovereign Fire, he is not far from successfully cultivating it.

"?"

This question stumped Jia Xingtian, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"No wonder Hai Bodong wasn't here today, turns out it was you who came to cause trouble."

A moment later, Jia Xingtian abruptly changed the subject.

"I wasn't the one causing trouble, it was Yun Shan."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, then looked down at Yun Yun, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and whose delicate body was trembling slightly, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

With a soft hiss, Xiao Yuan appeared beside Yun Yun, then reached out and lifted her red veil, revealing her brightly made-up face.

When her veil was suddenly lifted, Yun Yun was somewhat taken aback, but then she looked away and glanced to the side. When she saw that it was Gu He, she turned her head to look at the other side.

Upon noticing this detail, Gu He's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Why are you hiding?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Yun Yun with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, but asked in an unusually gentle voice.

What are you doing here?

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun bit her red lips lightly, then looked directly into Xiao Yuan's eyes and said stubbornly.

"If you don't come soon, you won't be the person I know anymore."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, glanced at Gu He, whose face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and said in a deep voice as if no one else was there.

"Yun Shan, you sealed your disciple's Dou Qi and used him as a tool to win over Gu He. What a terrible master you are."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan turned his gaze to Yun Shan on the high platform and sneered.

These words caused an uproar among the guests present. Many of them did not know the truth of the matter, and upon hearing such a statement, they could not help but whisper among themselves.

During his time in the VIP section, Nalan Jie felt as if his brain wasn't quite working properly.

Judging from this situation, Xiao Yuan seems to have a close relationship with Yun Yun!

"Yun'er is my disciple. How I, as her master, should act is none of your business, a junior!"

Yun Shan said in an icy tone.

Although he now knew Xiao Yuan's identity and was extremely shocked by the rapid rise of Xiao Yuan's strength, he was still Dou Zong expert. A Dou Wang was just a Dou Wang with no background. What could he do to him? After advancing to Dou Zong, although Yun Shan was very wary of the people from the Soul Hall, he still had a proud attitude of "Who can kill me?" towards the people from the Jia Ma Empire.

"Would you be willing to marry Gu He?"

Xiao Yuan ignored what Yun Shan had said, stared into Yun Yun's eyes, and asked seriously.

Yun Yun was speechless upon hearing this. It was clear that Xiao Yuan was going to clash with her master for her sake.

But his master was, after all, a Dou Zong expert. Although Xiao Yuan had already broken through to the Dou Wang realm, there was still a huge gap between him and the Dou Zong, like an insurmountable chasm.

Although I do not like Gu He, I cannot let Xiao Yuan be in danger because of that.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, and just as Yun Yun was about to speak, Xiao Yuan raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I understand, you don't want to embarrass your master."

Xiao Yuan spoke with sharp wit, making everyone around him hold their breath in worry.

Yun Yun instinctively wanted to defend herself, but Xiao Yuan couldn't let this foolish beauty say anything against her will, so he continued:

"Of course, whether you like it or not, as I just said, I don't agree to this marriage. So today, unless you marry me, no one else can marry you, and you can't marry anyone else."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he grabbed Yun Yun's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and then his wings popped out, sending him soaring into the sky.

At the same time, a burst of Dou Qi shattered the wedding dress, and countless red shreds of fabric fell, revealing Yun Yun dressed in a white robe.

"If you're wearing my clothes, you're mine!"

Xiao Yuan gazed at the familiar white robe, a carefree smile spreading across his lips.

High in the sky, looking at the two people dressed in matching white robes, how could everyone not understand what was going on? It turned out that Yun Shan had broken up the couple and sent someone to steal the bride!

It's no wonder that none of the Mittel Family came; they knew their son-in-law was a womanizer.

Looking up at the two people standing hand in hand in the sky, dressed in matching outfits, Yun Shan and Gu He's faces were both as dark as the other's.

Jia Xingtian watched the show with great interest from the sidelines.

"Xiao Yuan, today is my joyous day. Isn't your behavior going too far?"

Taking a deep breath, Gu He shouted sternly with a grim expression.

"Young Master, I'm here to steal the bride! You disagree? Keep it to yourself!"

As Xiao Yuan spoke, the energy in his hand surged into Yun Yun's body, and he immediately found the location of the seal.

While this seal would indeed be troublesome for ordinary people, it was not a big problem for Xiao Yuan.

Having possessed Heavenly Flames and having cultivated the Serpent Sealing Technique, he still had some methods for dealing with this seal!

"Hmph, you're so arrogant and ignorant, still spouting nonsense here. Once I capture him, we'll see how stubborn you really are!"

Yun Shan's Dou Qi surged, and he said with a cold laugh.

"Sect Master, today's events are closely related to me. Please hand this person over to me!"

Upon hearing Yun Shan's words, Gu He, standing to the side, had a gloomy expression and slowly spoke.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yun Shan raised an eyebrow, stroked his beard, and seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "Gu He, your strength is not in combat, so there's no need to lower yourself to his level. Once I capture this kid, I can hand him over to you to deal with."

Gu He shook his head, but his gaze swept over Yun Yun, who was dressed in white and had a flushed face. He took a deep breath and said, "I want her to know that only I am worthy of her!"

Seeing Gu He's insistence, Yun Shan frowned slightly before reluctantly nodding.

"Xiao Yuan, no matter who you came here for today, the fact remains that you disrupted my wedding. If you leave now, I can pretend it never happened. But if you still insist on ruining it, then I must tell you, I, Gu He, am not a pushover that anyone can bully!"

Seeing Yun Shan nod, Gu He looked up at Xiao Yuan in the sky and said sternly.

Are you confident?

Seeing this, Yun Yun asked in a low voice.

"You just need to trust me and come with me, that's all, my dear Sister Yun!"

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this, and then whispered something in Yun Yun's ear with a hint of amusement.

The hot breath beside her ear made Yun Yun tremble all over, and she couldn't help but feel weak. But then, the sealed Dou Qi in her body suddenly surged up again. The power that she had lost for nearly a year finally returned to her hands, and Yun Yun was also a little dazed.

"I'm taking you away today, and even Yun Shan can't stop me!"

Xiao Yuan smiled confidently, then flicked his arm, sending Yun Yun away with a gentle force. Yun Yun immediately transformed her Douqi Transformation Wings, stabilizing her figure, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yuan's reassuring back.

"Arrogant fellow, you'll have to get past me first!" Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Gu He sneered, his shoulders trembled, and a pair of purple fire wings appeared. With a flap of the fire wings, his figure gradually levitated, finally standing opposite Xiao Yuan, and said coldly, "Since that's the case, then let's make a move. I really want to test how strong you are, you rising star."

"Arrogant? Hahaha!"

Glancing at the Gu He in front of him, Xiao Yuan burst into laughter.

The next moment, as Xiao Yuan's aura as Nine-Star Dou Wang erupted, the entire arena fell silent!

"I'm tired of hiding things all these years. Today, I'm going to be arrogant. What are you going to do about it? What can you do about it?"

The sound, mixed with Dou Qi, resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Looking at the spirited young man, Yun Yun's lips, which had not turned up for almost a year, finally curved into a charming smile.

The boy who once roamed the Monster Mountain Range has now finally become a powerful figure!

Yun Shan's expression was not good, because Xiao Yuan's strength was beyond his expectations.

He knew Xiao Yuan's age.

But it wasn't until Xiao Yuan's outburst that he realized Xiao Yuan hadn't just gotten to the Dou Wang by chance, but had already reached the peak of Dou Wang, and was only one step away from Dou Emperor!

Such a genius, it's only a matter of time before he becomes Dou Zong! Compared to him, Gu He is indeed somewhat inferior.

However, Xiao Yuan is Xiao Clan, and sooner or later he will be on the opposite side. Why not take advantage of the fact that this kid is still weak now and strike first?

In the blink of an eye, Yun Shan already harbored murderous intent towards Xiao Yuan.

"Snort!"

Seeing this, Gu He showed no fear. With a tremor, an aura of a Dou Huang expert erupted, creating a balance of power with Xiao Yuan. He then said smugly, "I have already advanced to Dou Emperor, even if you are Nine-Star Dou Wang."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu He's vision blurred, and Xiao Yuan's figure appeared like a ghost.

"Dou Emperor? It's not like I haven't killed them before!"

Xiao Yuan also harbored some murderous intent towards Gu He. Knowing that Yun Yun disliked him, he still agreed to the marriage. Such opportunistic behavior, how dare he spout such high-sounding nonsense? "Xiao Yuan, be careful. Gu He has advanced to the Dou Emperor level, and he also controls an exceptionally powerful flame. Although it cannot be called Heavenly Flames, its power should not be underestimated."

From the soldiers' quarters, Fa Ma quietly sent a telepathic reminder.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, glancing at the pair of Purple Flame wings behind Gu He. He wasn't particularly concerned, as long as it wasn't Heavenly Flames, it posed little threat to him.

The guests in the square below had never witnessed Xiao Yuan's skills before, so they all watched with a cold eye. Some powerful figures who had a close relationship with Gu He couldn't help but shake their heads in mockery, saying that although Xiao Yuan had good talent, he was still just an arrogant brat who hadn't grown up yet!

Yun Shan had already turned around and sat in the first seat again. His eyes were fixed on the two people in the sky, and a slight sinister smile appeared on his lips. Although Xiao Yuan's strength was indeed beyond his expectations, in this case, Gu He would probably be able to go all out. Even if he lost to Xiao Yuan, he would probably be able to injure him. Then, it would be easy for him to capture him.

Under the distant sky, Yun Yun was also gazing intently at the figure in white, so dashing and heroic. She had been in despair and was prepared to end her life after the wedding, but this little guy arrived so just in time, disregarding his own safety to take her away. The joy in her heart was beyond words.

"Today, I will defeat you in front of her!" Gu He said slowly. As his voice fell, an incomparably powerful purple Dou Qi surged out from his body. The Dou Qi adhered to his body surface, churning endlessly, like clusters of solid purple flames, releasing a scorching temperature.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Gu He, whose face was gloomy, and his voice remained largely unchanged. "If you insist on being Yun Shan's dog, then I will naturally show no mercy."

Such sharp words made Gu He's face flush red. He stopped talking and clenched his fist. His Dou Qi fluctuated and instantly condensed into a deep purple longsword in his palm. Flames burned fiercely on the longsword, and the powerful energy fluctuations shook the air and caused it to ripple continuously.

The next moment, Gu He's Purple Flame wings suddenly flapped, and his figure instantly transformed into a purple shadow, shooting towards Xiao Yuan 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 Xiao Yuan's chest.

With a hiss, a pair of jade-like white hands casually reached out, the index and middle fingers tightly clamping the sharp Purple Fire Longsword, preventing it from being pulled away.

How could this be!? Looking at the Purple Fire Longsword held between Xiao Yuan's fingers, Gu He's eyes flashed with shock. However, he was experienced enough in combat to disperse the front part of the Purple Fire Longsword and then re-condense it. Immediately afterward, his Dou Qi surged wildly, and the sword trembled strangely. As the sword trembled, afterimages appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Thousand Flame Sword Qi!"

The overwhelming sword shadows filled Gu He's front in just a few breaths. With a flick of his arm, he thrust out the Purple Fire Longsword, and then countless afterimages shot towards Xiao Yuan like a torrent.

The blazing sword shadows filled Xiao Yuan's eyes. Although the countless afterimages were illusory, the power they carried was still not to be underestimated. If an ordinary person dealt with them carelessly, the real sword light hidden in the afterimages would suddenly appear unexpectedly, making it impossible to defend against.

Just by looking at this swordsmanship and Dou Technique, one can see that Gu He's ability is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary experts. Moreover, the Dou Technique, combined with the enhancement of the Purple Flame, are even more powerful. Therefore, as soon as Gu He made this move, cheers rang out from the square below, while Jia Xingtian and the others couldn't help but tighten their expressions slightly.

Compared to the cheers and worries of the crowd, Xiao Yuan's state of mind remained completely calm. He calmly watched the overwhelming, blazing sword shadows and casually waved his hand.

The next moment, the Yin Yang Dual Flames swept out from his sleeves, engulfing the purple sword shadows in an instant. Gu He was also surrounded by the rapidly spreading sea of fire.

Surrounded by the sea of Heavenly Flames, Gu He's expression changed drastically.

As an alchemist, he knew better than anyone the terror of Heavenly Flames, and he also clearly understood how enormous the soul power required to control such Heavenly Flames was! You must know that even he himself could only create a sea of fire with this Purple Flame, and that was already doing everything he could.

But judging from Xiao Yuan's casual manner, it was clearly extremely easy for him.

This made Gu He feel very uneasy.

Outside the sea of fire, Xiao Yuan's expression was very calm. After the previous exchange, he had determined that Gu He's current strength should be that of One-Star Dou Emperor. Perhaps due to the Purple Flame, his combat power was comparable to that of a two- or three-star Dou Emperor.

However, even without using any secret techniques, with the added benefits of High-grade Earth-tier Cultivation Method, Heavenly Flames, and his own terrifying physical strength, Xiao Yuan could easily deal with a two- or three-star Dou Emperor.

With a slightly bored expression, Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi surged and erupted like a torrent. The powerful Dou Qi filled every corner of his body. In this state, Xiao Yuan could unleash extremely terrifying power with every move he made.

Gu He also noticed the sudden surge of Dou Qi within Xiao Yuan's body. His expression immediately became slightly solemn, and he also unleashed his Dou Qi to its fullest extent. Under the watchful eyes of powerful figures from all directions of the Jia Ma Empire, if he were to lose to Xiao Yuan today, it would be a severe blow to his reputation!

Moreover, and most importantly, he would lose face in front of Yun Yun, which was absolutely intolerable to him. Therefore, even if it meant giving it his all, he was determined to withstand all of Xiao Yuan's next attacks! Unfortunately, from the moment he decided to follow Yun Shan's arrangements and marry Yun Yun, Yun Yun had already completely lost faith in him, and he had no chance left.

With a fierce determination in his heart, a sharp glint flashed in Gu He's eyes. He slightly curled his five fingers, forming a strange claw shape. In his palm, purple flames flickered, as if he was brewing something.

Brewing?

Xiao Yuan had no intention of making any moves!

"Scorching Fire Incineration!" With a sharp shout in his heart, Xiao Yuan flipped his hand, and the sea of fire surged rapidly. The towering flames directly slammed down on Gu He.

The next moment, Gu He's figure flew backward from the sea of fire, crashing diagonally to the ground, his breathing disordered, unable to fight any longer.

"I've already taken one of your Qi Gathering Powder, so I won't kill you. But if you try to take Yun Yun again, I, Xiao Yuan, am no saint. With a single strike of my Heavenly Flames, you'll be reduced to ashes. I'll return ten of these Qi Gathering Powder to you!"

Having defeated Gu He without any martial ethics, Xiao Yuan waved his arm and sent down a jade box containing ten Qi Gathering Powder that he had prepared beforehand, using his Dou Qi. Then, he calmly put away the sea of fire, looked at Yun Shan, and his face showed a hint of mockery.

"Sect Master Yun Shan, you're quite shrewd to send out an alchemist as a henchman to wear down my strength. A dignified Dou Zong expert, so afraid of a Dou Wang junior like me? Could it be that your advancement to Dou Zong was somewhat questionable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I let you leave Misty Cloud Sect alive today, how can I, Yun Shan, still have the face to lead Misty Cloud Sect?"

"Laugh!"

Xiao Yuan scoffed at this, then retorted sharply:

"You coerced the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and used him as a tool to win over powerful people. Do you even deserve to be a teacher? Do you even deserve to lead the Misty Cloud Sect? You have completely disgraced Yun Potian. After advancing to the Dou Zong realm, instead of vigorously developing the sect and making progress, you retreat to a corner and want to eliminate dissidents and control the Jia Ma Empire. Is this all the vision you have?"

His sharp words caused a huge uproar. Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma, and the others' expressions changed drastically. Having lived for so many years, they naturally understood that the Misty Cloud Sect had undergone tremendous changes since Yun Shan emerged from seclusion. Disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect had been intervening in the armies of various regions. However, they dared not say anything due to the power of the Misty Cloud Sect. Now that Xiao Yuan had made things completely clear, there was no room for maneuver!

"Hmph, you will not leave Misty Cloud Mountain alive today!"

Shaking his head and smiling, Yun Shan's face suddenly turned cold. He clenched his fists, and a powerful and terrifying aura surged out from his body!

A terrifying aura spread out, and the many powerful figures below the Wedding Stage all gasped for breath. They were then shocked to find that under this pressure, the flow of their battle Dou Qi was somewhat sluggish! Dou Zong expert's aura alone was terrifying! With a raised eyebrow, Yun Shan's cold voice slowly echoed across the sky.

"I want everyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire to know that anyone who dares to offend our sect will be killed without mercy!!"
