The Showdown

"The Supreme Elder!?"

"Su Bieli!?"

Zhang Lu and Su Fangzheng, who were located at the back of the charging crowd, felt cold all over, with their hands and feet icy, even though it was the middle of summer.

Just moments ago, Su Bieli was chatting and laughing with them, repeatedly declaring that he was destined to die Gu Jinlai, but now he was torn to shreds by three fiery snakes, or rather, direct laser fire...

One of their equals, a master, died on the way to the front before he could even confront the culprit from Gu Jinlai, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

This terror sent chills down their spines.

"How is this possible... Su Bieli, a cultivator at the Spirit Refining... actually died!? Killed by that kind of fire-breathing hidden weapon?"

"What is that?! What on earth is that thing? Ancient Demon Gu, what kind of monster has he created this time?!"

No one responded to them.

The battlefield was filled with piercing screams and shouts.

As well as...

"Da da da da da!"

The sound of machine gun fire was like a nightmare.

The ten ancient warriors of the Red Peak, located on the Stele Mountain, had a commanding position and a strategic advantage.

The experts from the Heavenly Gang Sect and the Meteor Guard also had no cover to hide behind.

Hundreds of people were wiped out like wheat being harvested under the fire of ten "Thunder" Gatling guns.

The bullets struck, shattering even solid rock, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

"Ah! The Ancient Demon Gu!"

Seeing this, Su Fangzheng was furious.

These people are all elites of their Heavenly Gang Sect.

The death of any one of them would have triggered the entire Heavenly Gang Sect's revenge, but now...

Like mowing grass, they died in droves, lying in pools of blood, with most not even leaving behind intact corpses.

This heartache and anger drove the Spirit Refining True Person to roar, "Charge! Charge! Charge now! Charge forward and destroy their weapons!"

He unleashed his full speed, executing Movement Method movements to the extreme.

It moves with incredible agility and unpredictability, exceeding the limits of human vision.

Behind him, the Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, and Core Forming cultivators were also doing their utmost to unleash their movement Movement Method, flying at full speed. Some of them even burst out with speeds of sixty, seventy, or even eighty meters per second.

But...

It's useless.

It's of no use.

Each "Thunder" Gatling gun unleashes dozens or even hundreds of bullets every second. The barrage of fire from ten machine guns intertwines, creating a metallic storm that tears everything apart, and no life can withstand it.

Their inner True Qi protects them from arrows and ordinary people wielding swords and knives.

But faced with this killing machine that brought an era to an end, their lives...

It was also ended at an extremely fast pace.

Gu Jinlai!

His roar was like thunder.

Su Fangzheng, relying on his Movement Method, his top-grade armor, and the cover of the elders and protectors, actually broke through the defense formed by ten "Thunder" Gatling guns and killed his way to a hundred meters below the monument.

Gu Jinlai standing with his sword in hand, did not flinch, but simply reached out and made a gesture.

Gu Chifeng and his two companions immediately turned their spears around.

The eighteen gun barrels spun rapidly, spewing flames and shooting streaks of light like shooting stars towards Su Fangzheng.

Before the three machine guns could fire, Su Zhengyi Sect roared and kicked a several-ton boulder into the air. The boulder exploded with Gang Qi, turning into countless stone chips and dust, which swept towards Gu Chifeng and the other ten people under the influence of the Gang Qi.

Although these attacks could not harm Gu Chifeng and his men, who were wearing heavy armor, the dust they stirred up caused chaos and obscured their field of vision.

"Prepare to die!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Fangzheng seemed to unleash a secret technique, bursting forth with power, instantly bridging a distance of a hundred meters.

The sharp sword energy, imposing and majestic, tore through the smoke and dust, descending in a sweeping manner.

From Gu Jinlai, Gu Chifeng and his men were less than ten meters away from the machine gun fire.

"Your Movement Method is really good."

It has been praised Gu Jinlai.

He doesn't need to give the order.

Behind him, the sound of dragon roars emanated from Su Nanxing's body.

The Great Sigh Transforms into a Dragon Technique.

His divine sense surged, and all the True Qi within his body was stimulated to the extreme, unleashing a burst of power with every bit of strength.

The instant he drew his sword, a sharp sword light stretched for dozens of meters.

Mayflies conceal their sharpness.

For some reason, Su Nanxing's compatibility with the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sword was not high. Instead, he needed to nurture and cultivate the sword. He was able to improve his skills by leaps and bounds in the Mayfly Hidden Edge Sword, which was hidden in its sheath.

While he was in seclusion Spirit Refining, he began to nurture his sword.

At this moment, he drew his sword, its power shattering the heavens. With the aid of the Taixi Transformation Dragon Technique, the dazzling sword light actually suppressed the sword strike unleashed by Su Fangzheng, the sect leader of the Heavenly Gang Sect.

"You!?"

Su Fangzheng, who had just emerged from the dust and amidst the intertwined firepower, originally intended to use his sword to take the enemy general's head from among thousands of soldiers and annihilate this Celestial Master of Gu Jinlai. However, he did not expect Su Nanxing to suddenly appear.

And the power of this sword...

"Spirit Refining!?"

Gu Jinlai by your side...

There are Spirit Refining guardians!?

Why didn't the intelligence agencies receive a single tip-off?

"Boom!"

Sword energy clashing!

It seemed as if ten kilograms of explosives were detonating simultaneously in the void.

A visible shockwave exploded outwards, scattering all the dust within a radius of tens of meters.

The bursts of Gang Qi shot into the ground, carving sword marks several meters long and a foot deep on the steep slope of the monument.

Su Fangzheng's sword strike, which spanned a hundred meters in mid-air, was already at its last gasp. How could he possibly withstand Su Nanxing's sword, which was poised to strike from its sheath?

He coughed up blood as he rushed up the steep slope and fell down at an even faster speed than he had come up.

Before he could even hit the ground, a terrifying sonic boom exploded overhead.

Along with it came a wave of deathly pressure that sent chills down his spine.

"Not good!"

Su Fangzheng stared wide-eyed, trying his best to spin and jump.

But what appeared in their field of vision was a two-meter-long heavy sword that, with the force of a thunderbolt, broke the sound barrier and shot towards them.

In his haste, he only had time to hold the sword horizontally in front of him before the devastating power of the greatsword slammed into his body.

He clearly felt as if his body was being smashed by a boulder, like a piece of porcelain breaking and detaching itself piece by piece.

This feeling...

"I..."

Su Fangzheng looked up and saw Gu Jinlai slowly retracting his sword-throwing motion.

The next moment, an unprecedented, tearing, excruciating pain spread throughout his body like an electric shock, filling the air with blood and completely engulfing his consciousness.

"Bang!"

The greatsword slammed into the ground with tremendous force, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Dead."

On the monument, a voice has been spoken Gu Jinlai.

He lowered his head.

The corpses of more than four hundred Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, Core Forming masters from the Heavenly Gang Sect and Meteor Guard covered the road.

Despite their formidable strength, their protective True Qi could withstand several bullets without dying, and those with the Core Forming were even more resilient, able to withstand dozens of bullets.

If the terrain here is complex enough to give them enough room to hide, ten Gatling guns might not be able to stop them.

Unfortunately, this is a plain stretching for more than ten miles.

There would be no ambush in this terrain.

However, there are also no obstacles.

Ten Gatling guns fired after they entered within 500 meters of them.

500 meters!

It became an unforgettable nightmare for these Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, and even Core Forming Formation masters.

Under such terrifying and bloody slaughter, the will of some Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, and Core Forming cultivators was broken, and some even turned and ran away.

"Oh, you're not going to attack anymore?"

Looking at the remaining less than two hundred experts, and then at the more than two thousand elite troops surrounding them from afar, Gu Jinlai: "Now, it's our turn!"

He waved his hand. "Attack! Encircle and annihilate them!"

Encircle and annihilate them!

They, 130 men, surrounded and annihilated nearly 3,000 enemy soldiers!

A few minutes ago, anyone would have thought Gu Jinlai mad.

But now...

Whether it was Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, or the other disciples of the Gu Clan, none of them had the slightest doubt in their hearts.

His eyes were filled with fervor for his ancestor.

This weapon...

The killing efficiency is too high.

Even if the number doubled, let alone less than three thousand, they would still charge forward without hesitation, letting the sound of "rat-a-tat-tat" echo across the battlefield.

"Yes!"

Amidst the high-pitched and inspiring shouts, a group of 130 Demonic Beasts warriors, led by ten clad in heavy black steel armor and wielding "Thunder" machine guns, launched a fierce charge against the 3,000 people below the mountain.

"Lawyer Zhang."

Gu Jinlai, we have looked around with our eyes.

His gaze met that of Zhang Lu, who was a thousand meters away and whose face was filled with shock.

The two locked eyes.

Just like the scene when we first met at Meteor Guard.

However, at that time, Zhang Lu was high above, looking down on the Gu Jinlai with the attitude of a superior.

His future and even his life depended entirely on his word.

And now...

Looking at Su Fangzheng, the leader of the Heavenly Gang Sect, who was killed by Gu Jinlai's sword, Zhang Lu felt only endless fear.

"Retreat! Retreat! Withdraw!"

He shouted the order, and at the same time, quickly turned around and spurred his horse to flee.

He rode a special breed of horse bred by the Celestial Master, which was in some ways equivalent to a ferocious beast with amazing endurance, capable of galloping three thousand miles in a day and night.

"Shoot the horse."

Gu Jinlai, a single command has been issued.

He leaped down from the monument mountain, using the steep slope to land easily at the foot of the mountain, then swept past the heavy sword and charged towards Zhang Lü.

Behind him, Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and others, having received orders, operated machine guns, and the streaks of light they emitted instantly killed Zhang Lu's warhorse.

Although they were thousands of meters apart, the bullets fired from the gun barrels were still lethal.

Not only that, they followed behind Gu Jinlai and also rushed down the stele mountain.

Although their speed was somewhat slower, their mid-level Demonic Beasts physique allowed them to carry hundreds or even thousands of pounds as if walking on flat ground, moving with great strides.

Even as they charged, the "Thunder" Gatling guns they carried never stopped firing.

Flame jet.

Shell casings flew everywhere.

The light pierced through.

Blood was everywhere.

They single-handedly carved a bloody path between Gu Jinlai and Zhang Lu.

Gu Jinlai, the Movement Method used to traverse the world have been characterized by their expansive and powerful movements.

Although his agility and Movement Method couldn't compare to others, he could still charge straight ahead, run and pursue...

It surpasses even the most Movement Method, such as the Eighth Level Soaring Dragon.

Zhang Lu fled at full speed, but even after traveling more than ten miles, Zhang Lu's figure was still within arm's reach.

Seemingly realizing that he could not escape, Zhang Lu suddenly stopped running and turned around.

"Gu Jinlai!"

His eyes widened in fury, his murderous intent tinged with a hint of madness. "You actually dared to chase after me alone! You have some nerve!"
