Fuck Your Mother, You Think You Can Run After Provoking Me?!

These trees were usually lifeless things, but once they started moving, they were incredibly fast.

The bent trunks wrapped around Qi Lingguang and dragged her deeper inside. When Gu Qingfeng charged over, the nearby trees curled toward him as well.

At a glance, it looked as though countless giant snakes—or enormous tentacles—were sweeping toward them all at once, making for a gloomy, horrifying sight.

But Gu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with killing intent. Holding the twin branches, he did not slow down in the slightest, raising his hand and hacking at the attacking monster trees.

The seemingly incomparably tough monster trees met those golden Core Branches like tofu meeting a blade, shattering into pieces in an instant.

There was a common saying in the world: "If you provoke them, it's like provoking tofu!" It mocked opponents for being weak and useless, even easier to handle than tofu.

Now, these ferocious-looking monster trees had encountered something similar.

The moment they encountered Gu Qingfeng, they became tofu.

The Geng-Metal Power Gu Qingfeng unleashed displayed unprecedented sharpness when it came to cutting wood.

Gu Qingfeng was certain that even if he became a woodcutter in the future, he would be the most efficient kind!

For a time, even though more than a dozen trees twisted toward him to block his way, they still could not hinder him in the slightest.

To outsiders, golden light flashed all over Gu Qingfeng's body, while golden radiance flowed through the Core Branches in his hands like water, fierce beyond compare.

His moves were broad and forceful. Sometimes the twin branches swept sideways, like an army being swept away; sometimes they danced wildly left and right, like a raging storm. At this point, the Core Branch in his right hand even spun like a shuriken, forming a golden whirlwind.

Even Gu Qingfeng himself was somewhat surprised by how proficiently he wielded the Core Branches.

In truth, it had all come naturally!

The more he used Geng-Metal Power, the more proficient he became with it, the easier it was to control, until it fully merged into his bodily instincts and moved as naturally as his own limbs.

Wherever the golden Core Branches passed, the trunks and branches winding toward him shattered like mud. The liquid that sprayed out was dark gold and carried a fishy stench.

Several monster trees that had once been lush with branches and leaves were reduced to bald stumps in an instant.

Branches tried to ambush him midway, wrapping around Gu Qingfeng's waist and legs, but as golden light surged around him, they were instantly blasted into pulp.

At that moment, the ground ahead suddenly dipped, revealing a steep slope. Qi Lingguang was about to be dragged down into the darkness below.

It was pitch-black down there, impossible to see anything. If she were truly taken there, finding her would become troublesome.

So Gu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and launched into a sliding tackle, charging up the slope as golden light intensified around him.

That charge fully demonstrated what it meant to be unstoppable. Everything along the way—even a protruding rock that collided with his crotch—was smashed to pieces by the Geng-Metal Power surging from there.

Of course, it still hurt a little.

Qi Lingguang was being dragged into the depths of darkness. When she saw Gu Qingfeng racing after her, she had initially been overjoyed, but at this moment, she actually became a little afraid.

She was afraid Gu Qingfeng would charge straight over her too!

Because at this moment, Gu Qingfeng was truly riding the wind and cleaving the waves. His eyes were full of killing intent, and his expression was crazed.

One of the Chivalrous Spirit Incense Burner's costs had been described in eight words: "Impulses difficult to control, until madness takes hold." Gu Qingfeng had clearly reversed the cost, yet in Qi Lingguang's eyes, he had achieved a similar effect.

At this moment, Gu Qingfeng was like a boat—or an unsheathed golden sword—charging recklessly through this place!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The last few roots connected to the trunk were smashed apart, and splintered wood flew everywhere.

Seeing that Gu Qingfeng was still charging, Qi Lingguang could not help reminding him, "Senior Brother Gu!"

Gu Qingfeng had charged wildly the entire way, sending wood chips flying everywhere. For a time, he could not see the road ahead at all, and with his blood boiling, he had only focused on rushing forward. Only when he heard her call did he realize that there was no longer much obstruction ahead.

He hurriedly poured Geng-Metal Power into his feet, plowing up rolling earth like a farmer tilling a field as he tried to force himself to stop.

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang!

It was right before his eyes!

Bang!

Relying on that powerful plowing motion, Gu Qingfeng barely came to a stop.

More accurately, he stopped only after riding Qi Lingguang and plowing forward for another stretch.

By the time he stopped, he was practically sitting on the head of Qi Lingguang, who had fallen to the ground.

Gu Qingfeng hurriedly got off her.

"Junior Sister, are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

Qi Lingguang answered while coughing.

Gu Qingfeng had charged over her too fiercely just now, leaving her a little short of breath, so she could not help coughing now.

The terrifying atmosphere abruptly became somewhat awkward.

But neither of them had time to feel awkward, because cries from Wang Wu's group continued ringing out from the other side.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

"We need help too... mmph mmph mmph!"

Gu Qingfeng immediately gripped the twin branches and said, "Follow me!" before charging out.

Qi Lingguang followed him upward while coughing.

Wang Wu and the other two had been swept away from another direction. Fortunately, the terrain there was relatively narrow, with only one path, so they were easier to find.

Gu Qingfeng charged in while swinging the twin branches, raising his hand and bringing them down, raising his hand and bringing them down!

The terrain here had already been narrow, and the monster trees clustered together like a nest of snakes. Yet relying on the sharpness of his Geng-Metal Power, Gu Qingfeng forcibly carved out an opening amid the dense trunks and branches.

With a swish, the twin branches swept sideways and shattered a thick trunk before him.

The severed trunk shrank inward as though in pain, revealing Wang Wu's face, covered in tree sap from mouth to cheeks.

He looked nauseated, yet his face was also filled with the joy of being saved.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

A fork in the path appeared here, and Gu Qingfeng could not help asking, "Where are the others?"

The moment he spoke, a series of muffled "mmph mmph mmph" sounds came from the right side of the cave.

Gu Qingfeng raised the Core Branches and hacked his way in.

Wang Wu and Qi Lingguang hurriedly followed behind him.

The monster trees seemed to have realized how terrifying Gu Qingfeng was. They no longer confronted him head-on, instead fleeing in all directions and occasionally flinging down branches to ambush him.

That naturally made Gu Qingfeng's advance even smoother.

Up ahead, a woman's figure soon appeared.

Wang Wu cried out in delight, "Senior Sister Shen!"

But in the next instant, he and Qi Lingguang both shuddered in fright.

That was because Gu Qingfeng ahead of them had gone mad, hacking furiously at Senior Sister Shen.

He was even cutting down one of their own!??

Only then did Qi Lingguang see clearly and say, "That isn't Senior Sister Shen!"

When Wang Wu moved closer, he discovered that the woman Gu Qingfeng had cut into three pieces truly was not Senior Sister Shen, but another woman.

Her body was entwined in branches, while two sections of branches had pierced into her mouth and navel respectively, making her seem to have fused with the monster tree behind her.

Even after her body had been cut into three sections, she still blinked and opened her mouth, looking exceptionally horrifying.

At that moment, Gu Qingfeng flashed with golden light as he hacked toward the right.

The monster trees along the way scattered. Some exposed their roots.

Within those roots, vague human figures could be seen, but they still were not Senior Sister Shen or Zhao San.

But Gu Qingfeng still did not stop, because he could hear Zhao San's voice.

As the strongest woodcutter, he quickly caught up to that voice!

Zhao San and Shen Yun had been dragged away simultaneously by two monster trees.

The moment those two monster trees spotted Gu Qingfeng, they trembled violently as though startled, directly abandoning the two of them and fleeing.

Gu Qingfeng took a huge stride over the pair and pursued them!

"Fuck your mother, you still think you can run!"

As he spoke, he fiercely threw the Core Branch in his left hand, smashing it toward one of the fleeing monster trees.

The rescued Zhao San and Shen Yun were both dumbfounded.

No, Senior Brother Gu was still chasing them down to kill them!
