Suppression

"You!?"

Wang Dongyu trembled with rage as he looked at Su Nanxing, who had crashed through the wall and was now lying amidst the dust and debris, crying out, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much."

"Gu Jinlai, do you think you can frame me with such a low-class trick? Everyone has eyes to see. I'm going to report you to the Commander!"

He shouted and quickly ran towards the outside of the Meteor Guard.

"Add one more charge: hit-and-run!"

Gu Jinlai spoke, then moved his sword forward.

"Get out of the way! I don't have time to waste with you!"

Wang Dongyu reached out and unleashed a blast of Gang Qi, trying to knock the heavy sword aside.

"How dare you resist? You're just seeking your own death!"

Gu Jinlai's heavy sword vibrated, and the next moment, it slashed towards Wang Dongyu with a ferocious force. The friction between the heavy sword and the air created a piercing shriek in the hall.

This scene made Wang Dongyu's expression change drastically: "Gu Jinlai, attacking your own colleague, I think you've truly gone mad!?"

He retreated rapidly and roared, "Listen to my command! Commander Gu has gone berserk. To prevent him from harming innocents, all of you, attack and apprehend him!"

Zhao Fan and the other Meteor Guards hesitated, but the two Core Condensation experts from the Wang family, along with the various Gang Condensation and Qi Refining disciples, attacked Gu Jinlai simultaneously.

The hall was filled with the whistling of sword light and shadow, Gang Qi, and sword Qi.

"Hahaha!"

Gu Jinlai let out a loud laugh: "Good! Good! Good! Resist me all you want! The more fiercely you resist, the happier I'll be."

He stomped his foot forcefully.

With a surge of immense power, his charging speed skyrocketed. His thousand-pound greatsword moved as if weightless, slashing and sweeping, shattering the Gang Qi of the two fastest attackers. Then, using his speed advantage, he closed in on a Wang family Gang Condensation expert whose Karma was as red as blood, and struck with his greatsword!

The thousand-pound weight, combined with the burst of true qi, overwhelmed the Gang Condensation expert. Even though he blocked with his sword, he was instantly killed, along with his weapon.

"Gu Jinlai!?"

Seeing a Wang family disciple die, Wang Dongyu let out an enraged roar: "You forced my hand! Wang family disciples, obey my order, kill him!"

At the same time, he turned to Zhao Fan and the other Meteor Guards: "What are you waiting for? This Gu Jinlai clearly came here to kill. Once he exposes what you've done, do you think you'll be able to escape?"

Hearing this, Zhao Fan and the others' expressions changed. After a moment of hesitation, they drew their swords.

"Well, you dare draw your swords against your superior! You're rebelling!"

Gu Jinlai's voice echoed: "Gu Chaoyang, lead your men to close the doors and guard the exits. Su Nanxing, hold off one Core Condensation expert, don't let them form a formation."

"Understood."

Gu Chaoyang and the others responded.

Su Nanxing even scrambled out of the rubble and dust, saying, "Master, although I've spat blood and am severely injured, dealing with these Core Condensation experts who didn't come from top sects, fighting two at once is not a problem."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai directly assigned the shallow red-named Zhao Fan and an elder who came to support him to Su Nanxing.

He himself plunged into the Wang family and the charging Meteor Guards. Seeing the crimson Karma light all around, he unhesitatingly used a blast of Pure Light.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Pure Light was infused into the Great Sun Demonic God Body Refining Method.

But his primary goal was to use the profoundness of the Pure Light to put his brain into an overclocked state.

"Those who rebel and commit treason shall be executed!"

The next moment, his true qi boiled, and a blood-red lotus appeared and bloomed behind Gu Jinlai. Then, as if replaying the battle at the Heavenly Grass Pavilion, the blooming blood lotus manifested dozens of tangible and intangible sword Qi, which swept out in all directions with sharp and unrestrained power.

Myriad Phenomena Sword Qi!

"Ch!, Ch!, Ch!, Ch!"

The sound of bodies being pierced echoed throughout the entire venue.

The area within dozens of meters centered on Gu Jinlai looked as if it had been combed by a comb, and almost everyone's body simultaneously spurted bright red blood.

Countless blood-red lights intertwined, dissipating into a mist of blood and red lotuses, presenting a stunning and desolate beauty.

Accompanying this were bursts of shrill screams.

With this single sword strike, more than half of the Wang family disciples and Meteor Guards on the scene were casualties.

"What kind of sword technique is this!? What kind of sword technique is this!?"

"How could this be..."

"No!"

Such a terrifying scene instantly stunned Wang Dongyu and the other Core Condensation expert of the Wang family.

They estimated that with their side having four Core Condensation experts, over a dozen Gang Condensation experts, and more than thirty Qi Refining disciples, if they all charged forward, they could even fight against a true Spirit Refining expert.

Gu Jinlai had fallen from the Spirit Refining realm and was now in the same realm as them, Core Condensation. No matter how extraordinary he was, he couldn't possibly be as powerful as a Spirit Refining expert.

But now…

In a real fight, their proud numbers were more than halved by a single move from Gu Jinlai?!

"Boom!"

The earth trembled!

Amidst the flying dust, Gu Jinlai seemed to be wrapped in a layer of blood mist, like a peerless demonic beast, radiating immense killing intent as he charged forward.

Even before the sword reached him, the overwhelming sense of blood and suffocation made the old man recall the scene of being forced to face a ferocious bear during his early days of Blood Changing.

"Not good!"

The old man roared, his internal True Qi erupting: "Nine Revolutions Style! Evil Breaking!"

His Gang Qi vibrated, and his sword light shot towards the sky, as if capable of dispelling all the gloomy haze.

But just as this sword was about to slash towards Gu Jinlai's body, the furiously charging Gu Jinlai suddenly shifted.

He changed direction, managing to dodge the sword light, which grazed past his side.

Unrestricted Movement: Eight Desolations!

Changing direction and evading the sword light, his charge lost none of its momentum. His heavy sword, carrying immense power like thunder, struck the old man's body from the side.

Even though this sword strike wasn't a direct hit, the violent kinetic energy still tore through his protective True Qi like a destructive force.

"Bang!"

Half of the old man's body was pulverized, as if hit by a sniper bullet.

"Sixth Uncle!"

Wang Dongyu let out a cry of shock and anger.

His voice carried a hint of fear.

After killing the old man, Gu Jinlai's movements did not falter. He bent his knees slightly, and the next moment, straightened.

True Qi erupted!

This time, his speed was even faster than before!

His might was even stronger than the previous strike!

"Charge! Charge at him! Stop him! Stop him!"

Wang Dongyu bellowed.

"Bang!"

A Condensation expert who had just made a move was met with Gu Jinlai's thunderous strike before he could even unleash his Gang Qi.

After killing this Condensation expert, he was no longer satisfied with just targeting the instigator, Wang Dongyu. He turned and charged into the crowd, like a cat playing with mice, singling out individuals to kill.

Wherever his thousand-pound heavy sword pointed, pure physical damage easily turned his targeted victims into blood mist.

Their bodies were utterly destroyed!

Especially when he had killed over a dozen people and was covered in blood, his eyes still held a look of…

Joy and satisfaction!

It was as if killing was the most wonderful enjoyment in the world to him.

That gaze, combined with the blood on his face, created an image of unparalleled impact.

Cruel! Indifferent! Ruthless! Mad!

It filled the remaining Meteor Guards and Wang family disciples with uncontrollable fear.

Watching the people around them fall one by one, with bodies and blood covering the ground, finally, a Meteor Guard couldn't take it anymore, their minds collapsing.

"Demon! Demon! He's a demon!"

His breakdown seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the remaining people simultaneously cried out in terror.

"Spare us, Commander, spare us! We know we were wrong!"

"Please, give us a way out..."

"We surrender! Commander, we surrender!"

In the blink of an eye, except for a few Wang family disciples still resisting, everyone else abandoned their swords and hid around the hall.

Even Zhao Fan, who was fighting Su Nanxing, retreated to the side, wanting to distance himself from Wang Dongyu.

"Is this your confidence?"

Gu Jinlai shook his sword and looked at Wang Dongyu.

"I..."

Wang Dongyu's lips trembled.

How could this happen!?

There were so many of them…

He lost so badly?

"Commander Gu, please listen to me..."

"Bang!"

True Qi erupted.

Gu Jinlai stomped on the ground, his figure leaping out from the blood and corpses, his Battle Sword aimed at the man's head and smashing down fiercely.

"Spare my life..."

Wang Dongyu desperately raised his sword to block.

But the result was the same as those Gang Condensation experts – he and his sword were smashed into a bloody mist.

"I don't want to listen."
