Just as everyone thought Gu Qingfeng was about to suffer a crushing blow, they saw a flash of golden light and could not help narrowing their eyes.
A miserable scream suddenly rang out—but it did not come from Gu Qingfeng. It came from "Second Senior Brother."
This Man-Dog Second Senior Brother was vicious beyond measure. He bared his sharp fangs and made to bite through Gu Qingfeng's left hand, but Gu Qingfeng did not dodge at all. He thrust his entire arm straight out instead!
With his Core Branch gone from his left hand, it was equivalent to losing his left-hand sword. It seemed he could no longer use swordsmanship, yet at that moment, golden light surged along his left arm as Geng-Metal Power erupted violently. He had directly turned his entire left arm into a sword!
"Golden Branch Wind Shuttle!"
He used the fiercest move in the broad and forceful Golden Core Swordsmanship, treating his hand as a sword and stabbing fiercely forward!
Earlier, when Gu Qingfeng had merely tested his blade on a cow, he had been able to pierce through a wooden board with his finger. Now that he was using his full strength, its sharpness was naturally extraordinary!
The instant the golden light flared blindingly, Second Senior Brother sensed danger. His back arched violently as he tried to twist and spring away with his agile movement technique, but it was already too late!
With a buzz, Gu Qingfeng's fingers and palm punched straight through his lower jaw, leaving behind a bloody hole.
Had he not struggled back in time, his head would likely have been pierced clean through.
Yet even after suffering such a heavy blow, this Man-Dog Second Senior Brother remained vicious-faced. Like a mad dog, he lunged at Gu Qingfeng's lower body with astonishing speed.
In terms of speed alone, he was faster than Gu Qingfeng. But in the next instant, it was still "Second Senior Brother" who screamed.
That was because Gu Qingfeng's leg did not evade either. He directly kicked out!
Surging Geng-Metal Power burst from his toes, pierced through his shoe, and viciously stabbed into the Man-Dog's front leg, kicking him into a stagger.
In that instant of staggering, the Core Branch in Gu Qingfeng's right hand had already smashed down fiercely!
With a bang, the sound of shattering bone and flesh rang out clearly, accompanied by Second Senior Brother's miserable canine howl.
Second Senior Brother was sent flying to the side and slammed heavily into the cave wall. Gu Qingfeng, meanwhile, strode forward, pulled up the Core Branch embedded in the wall, and once again wielded two swords in two hands.
Then he pressed his advantage without mercy, hacking wildly at this Man-Dog Second Senior Brother until blood splattered everywhere and miserable cries rang out one after another. He did not even blink.
Second Senior Brother had suffered grievous wounds. At first, he could still dodge once or twice with his doglike agility, but afterward, he became increasingly unable to keep up.
Because by then, he was facing not only Gu Qingfeng's twin swords, but also his feet—and even his knees!
The first time Gu Qingfeng reversed Yi Wood Force into Geng-Metal Power, he had shot out Geng-Metal Power through his fingers and pierced through a bedboard.
At that time, he discovered that Geng-Metal Power could be unleashed not only through the Core Branch or his fingers. His feet, elbows, and even certain crucial parts could do it too, though they needed to be adapted first.
The fastest way for a person to adapt was a life-or-death battle.
And this mad dog before him had brought Gu Qingfeng face-to-face with the most direct threat of death. At a time like this, racing adrenaline had unleashed Gu Qingfeng's potential.
In only a short time, he had adapted to using Geng-Metal Power through his hands and feet. It was as though he had gained several more weapons.
Just as Second Senior Brother's arms and half his body were about to be chopped into mince, a black shadow flashed behind him. Senior Sister Lin, whose hand had just been severed, pounced again.
This time, Gu Qingfeng tilted his body and raised an elbow!
His elbow, flowing with golden light, rammed straight into Senior Sister Lin's chest.
Under the stimulation of this evenly matched battle, Gu Qingfeng successfully unleashed Geng-Metal force through his elbow as well!
A bloody hole was punched through Senior Sister Lin's chest.
This time, she did not flee. Instead, her eyes turned bloodshot as she clawed at him like a madwoman, but when her attacks landed on Gu Qingfeng, they were no more than a scratch.
First, most of the force of her claw had struck the Precious Moon Garment again. Second, there was Gu Qingfeng's Geng-Metal Power.
This power had now completely circulated through Gu Qingfeng's body. It had enormous restraining power against physiques like theirs that belonged to Yi Wood, as though wood were charging straight onto a blade's edge.
Gu Qingfeng had clearly noticed something. He began attacking without defending at all!
For a time, the Core Branches in his hands, the toes on his feet, his knees, and his elbows all became weapons.
And they were incomparably sharp.
Even though "Senior Sister Lin" and "Second Senior Brother" were both like mad dogs unafraid of death for the moment, bleeding and wounded all over as they continued their joint assault on Gu Qingfeng, they could no longer hold out.
Because Gu Qingfeng had completely killed until his eyes were red!
In Qi Lingguang and the others' eyes, he looked as though he had fallen into demonic madness.
Sharp golden light radiated from his body. Hand rose, branch fell. Hand rose, branch fell. Hand rose, branch fell. Between them came savage kicks and elbow strikes. In a short span of time, he had hacked Senior Sister Lin and Second Senior Brother into something that no longer looked remotely doglike.
Half of the two Man-Dogs' bodies had nearly become mince. The remaining halves still twitched, but they could no longer pose any threat.
It could be said that they were already dead. Their remaining twitches were only because their bodies possessed a strange vitality.
It was like when someone killed a snake: even after the snake had been skinned and its heart removed for some time, its body could still writhe, while its heart would keep beating after falling to the ground.
The snake was already dead. Those writhing, beating movements were merely the lingering vitality of snake flesh.
"Senior Sister Lin" and "Second Senior Brother" were clearly in this state, yet Gu Qingfeng still attacked without defending, continuing his frenzied assault.
Because Geng-Metal Power was racing madly through his body before erupting from every part of him, bringing an unprecedented thrill that continuously stimulated his nerves and made him unable to stop.
"Could Senior Brother Gu be going mad?"
"Why do I feel like I'm about to ascend?"
The scene was clearly brutal, yet the sight of Gu Qingfeng glowing with golden light as he hacked people apart seemed strangely divine in their eyes.
This image, both divine and demonic, possessed an odd beauty. Qi Lingguang and the others were so captivated that they were almost spellbound.
For a moment, they did not know whether they should be happy, worried, or afraid.
But at that moment, Qi Lingguang, who had only just gotten back on her feet, suddenly let out a scream. Wang Wu and the other three cried out immediately after.
Because in that instant, the trees in the cave had suddenly "come alive."
They had originally stood there like coiled great snakes. Now, they seemed to have become real snakes, directly twisting and writhing as they gave off rustling sounds.
At the same time, white mist rose from the forest, turning this already dim and sinister cave into something like a ghostly domain.
Qi Lingguang lost her footing with her right foot and was immediately wrapped around the ankle by a strange tree beside her, then dragged inside!
"Senior Brother Gu!"
Hearing the cry for help, Gu Qingfeng kicked the Man-Dog "Second Senior Brother" beside him away.
As chunks of the other man's shattered flesh flew in all directions, Gu Qingfeng had already leapt into the trees with the golden Core Branch in hand!
"Fuck your mother, let her go!"
Gu Qingfeng had already killed until his eyes were red. His eyes now gleamed gold and crimson, and like Gods and Devils, he charged straight after her!
