Realm of No Man

"Junior Brother!"

"Ah! Watch out for the sword qi!"

"I'm injured!"

The entire scene descended into chaos.

The Heavenly Grass Pavilion disciples surrounding Gu Jinlai were in disarray after this wave of Formless Sword Qi counterattacked.

Although the Formless Sword Qi's lethality decreased when facing a protective true qi barrier, it couldn't possibly wipe out all forty to fifty Qi Refining, Gang Condensation, and Core Condensation cultivators. However, the psychological terror brought about by this elusive attack was more potent than its actual killing effect.

"Kill!"

Gu Jinlai swept his greatsword horizontally. With the addition of his arm length, his attack range exceeded two meters, allowing him to clear all obstacles beside him.

Immediately after, he exerted force with his feet, his figure soaring again. His target remained fixed on the Core Condensation cultivator whose Karma was as red as blood.

That Core Condensation cultivator could be considered battle-hardened, with astonishing movement techniques. Facing the figure charging out of the dense blood mist like an unparalleled demonic beast, he retreated again, maximizing his speed advantage.

But this time...

Just as he was about to escape Gu Jinlai's attack range, Gu Jinlai circulated his internal true qi and Blood Essence through a special method, like a vast river embracing all streams, pouring it all into the acupoints in his feet. This ultimately transformed into a light yet ferocious force, causing his speed to double!

Unrestricted Movement: Four Seas!

This sudden surge in speed stunned the Core Condensation cultivator.

"Not good."

The next moment, his body moved rapidly.

"Save me!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Gu Jinlai's greatsword swept horizontally, shattering the two Sword Gang attacks that tried to intercept him. His own body, with a terrifying speed of four hundred kilometers per hour and weighing two thousand jin, slammed into the cultivator's body.

"Boom!"

A muffled thunderous sound exploded.

Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones.

It was a collision of flesh and steel. Even though the Core Condensation cultivator had a true qi barrier protecting him, he was still unrecognizable, sent flying more than ten meters. Before he even landed, he had lost all signs of life.

"Hahahaha!"

Gu Jinlai let out a long roar.

"Kill all the million soldiers in Jiangnan, my sword still drips with blood!"

Exhilarating!

Liberating!

This feeling of breaking rules, of disregarding rules, made him feel unprecedentedly unrestrained and joyous!

Even though he had already broken out of their encirclement, he didn't escape. Instead, he changed direction again, charging towards the remaining two individuals whose Karma was as red as blood.

"Rumble!"

The earth trembled!

Carrying a thousand jin of battle armor and wielding a thousand jin greatsword, he charged again.

His movement technique, Unrestricted Movement, allowed him to charge through the encirclement of dozens of people with absolute speed and absolute power!

"Elder Liu, be careful!"

"You fiend!"

"You... you..."

Several Core Condensation experts, seeing this, were so enraged their beards bristled.

Arrogant!

Gu Jinlai's actions were simply arrogant!

He treated the dozens of elders of their Heavenly Grass Pavilion as nothing!

What they didn't know was that Gu Jinlai had every reason to treat them as nothing.

"Continue!"

In his spiritual world, the Pure Light he had just obtained was once again invested into the movement technique, Unrestricted Movement.

This time, his movement technique did not advance from minor success to major success.

Clearly, the profound mystery of this movement technique was such that even with his talent and foundation, he still couldn't cultivate it to the stage of major success within ten years.

Although not yet a major success, Gu Jinlai's understanding and application of this movement technique had become much more proficient.

At this moment, in terms of charging speed alone, he had surpassed everyone else on the field.

Even the Core Condensation experts who were skilled in movement techniques were left behind by him.

Their strengths were merely in the small maneuvers of dodging and weaving.

Realizing this speed advantage, he moved with swift, unrestricted steps, directly charging at Elder Liu.

Even though Elder Liu had formed a formation with several people around him, he was still forcibly broken through by Gu Jinlai's burst of speed.

"Can't block! Can't block! Quickly, quickly go invite the Supreme Elder!"

Another Core Condensation elder shouted desperately.

His tone was filled with undisguised terror.

Even with dozens of experts surrounding him at this moment, he felt no sense of security.

"Boom!"

Elder Liu's formation was shattered, and Gu Jinlai directly lunged at the elder's body, unleashing his power and striking with his greatsword.

"Ah!"

The elder roared towards the sky, seemingly unleashing a forbidden technique to push his dantian's true qi to its limit, like a blazing flame.

But even so, he couldn't withstand the combination of a Mid-tier Demonic Beast's physique, a thousand-jin greatsword, and the true qi explosion of the same realm.

"Rumble!"

The airwaves exploded, mixed with a thick, unresolvable mist of blood.

As Gu Jinlai's figure swept past, his upper body had completely vanished.

Gu Jinlai, moving with unrestricted steps, landed on the ground like a cannonball, but immediately, his footwork erupted with power again, and he continued to charge at another person.

"Again!"

At the same time, he channeled a portion of his spiritual energy, guiding Pure Light into the "Unrestricted Movement" light cluster.

He firmly believed that used resources were good resources.

Especially now, in the midst of fierce combat, if he were trapped in a encirclement and suppressed in speed by dozens of Qi Refining, Gang Condensation, and Core Condensation experts, he would undoubtedly face certain death.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Pure Light enveloped the skill orb. After the accumulation from the previous enlightenment, the movement technique light orb flickered with brilliance.

As the light faded, it directly ascended to a new level.

Unrestricted Movement: Minor Success → Great Success.

Simultaneously, its accompanying secret technique for mid-air directional changes during charges, Eight Desolations, was also mastered ahead of time!

The last person with red Karma that Gu Jinlai had his sights on fled in terror, attempting to hide within the crowd to reform their battle formation.

Gu Jinlai, charging forward, moved with unrestricted steps, suddenly accelerating as he was about to break into the battle formation.

Airwaves scattered.

He kicked up a gust of dust that blew towards him, directly crossing over three Battle Swords that attempted to intercept him, and descended with the might of Mount Tai, crushing the last Core Condensation expert.

As he finished off this Core Condensation expert, the second wave of attacks from the battle formation struck his body.

Sparks flew.

Amidst the brilliant light unique to High-grade Treasure Swords, his Battle Armor finally fulfilled its mission, cracking open with a massive fissure.

This scene seemed to give the terrified true disciples and guardian elders hope of defeating this monster, and they all quickly became invigorated.

"It's cracked! His armor is cracked!"

"Without his armor, he won't dare to tank our attacks head-on!"

"Dozens of us Qi Refining, Gang Condensation, and several Core Condensation elders can't even kill one... one Core Condensation who relies on the advantage of armor. If we let him leave brazenly, our lifelong reputation will be ruined! From now on, the majesty of the Heavenly Grass Pavilion will also vanish!"

The leading Core Condensation elders rallied the troops, directing them to form formations. Those guardian elders and disciples who had been hesitant and fearful, not daring to advance, now surrounded him again.

Gu Jinlai glanced at everyone, then twisted his neck. "Scrap."

With that, he strode forward.

The first Core Condensation expert to bear the brunt of his advance turned pale. The fate of the previous few Core Condensation elders was right before his eyes, and almost instinctively, he retreated rapidly.

"Hahaha!"

This scene caused Gu Jinlai to burst into laughter.

As that Core Condensation expert retreated, he strode forward with great strides, directly breaking out of the encirclement formed by dozens of Qi Refining, Gang Condensation, and Core Condensation experts.

During this, Qi Refining realm disciples also attempted to block him, but Gu Jinlai didn't even look at them, simply crashing into them.

These disciples, who hadn't even cultivated Gang Qi, had limited offensive power. As long as they didn't happen to strike the crack in his Treasure Armor, their attacks could be ignored.

On the contrary, Gu Jinlai was like a death sentence to them; touching him meant death, and being grazed meant injury.

Coupled with the Great Success level movement technique, Unrestricted Movement, he instantly charged into the night, disappearing without a trace.
