His arms were twisted at a weird angle and were obviously completely broken. Blood gushes out from countless cracked wounds, turning him into a bloody man.
He tried to struggle, but every tiny movement brought heartbreaking pain, and he could only watch the figure approaching.
Fear, unprecedented fear, gripped him, almost suffocating him.
He never thought that his direct lineage of the Ye Family, with dozens of strong men in the sect, would end up like this, and be defeated in this way by a seemingly ordinary young man.
"No... don't kill me..."
Ye Changling's voice was hoarse and broken, with thick blood foam.
"I was wrong... I was really wrong... Please... spare my life..."
Gu Sheng stood a few steps in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
There was no emotion in those eyes, neither the triumph of the victor nor the cruelty of the killer, only a bottomless indifference.
This kind of indifference makes Ye Changling more desperate than any fierce look.
"I gave you a chance."
Gu Sheng spoke, his voice was steady but unmistakably cold.
"You chose death."
"No! I can compensate! I can give you countless resources! Elixirs, techniques, and magic weapons! We Ye Family have them all!"
Ye Changling seemed to have grasped the last straw and begged incoherently.
"As long as you let me go, I can give you anything! I swear I will never take revenge! Just pretend what happened today never happened!"
"Ye Family's stuff," Gu Sheng tilted his head slightly, seemed to think for a moment, and then said lightly.
"If I kill you, it will still be mine."
Ye Changling's pupils shrank suddenly, his last hope was completely shattered, and his huge fear instantly turned into hysterical resentment.
"You dare to kill me! My father is the elder Ye Family! The power of the Divine Ability Realm! If you kill me, he will definitely know! No matter where you escape to the end of the world, he will definitely find you out, extract your soul and refine it, so that you will never be reincarnated!
You and everyone related to you will die without a burial place! "
"Finished?"
Gu Sheng's tone did not change at all, as if the other party was not threatening him.
He raised his right hand, his fingers slightly bent, and an invisible force instantly grabbed Ye Changling's throat, "plucked" him out of the rock, and hung him in mid-air.
Ye Changling's legs were pedaling weakly, and his broken arms hung limply. Due to suffocation, his face turned purple, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and extreme fear.
"You..."
He desperately tried to squeeze out the last curse, but he could only make a whooshing sound.
Gu Sheng's eyes were cold and his hands were ready to be activated.
"Gu... Brother Gu! Show mercy!"
In the distance, Zhao Boyang's urgent but awe-inspiring shout came.
Gu Sheng paused slightly, but did not let go of his hand. He just turned his head and looked at the group of Zhao Boyang who were running over.
Zhao Boyang was injured and his face was pale, but his eyes were extremely complicated at this moment, full of shock, fear, and dissuasion.
He ran closer, looked at the miserable Ye Changling hanging in mid-air, then looked at the expressionless Gu Sheng, and said with a cup of his hands.
"Brother Gu, this person... can't be killed!"
"He just wanted to kill me, and he also wanted to kill you."
Gu Sheng State the facts calmly.
"I know, I know!"
Zhao Boyang said quickly.
"This guy has evil intentions and deserves to die! But... but he is a direct descendant of the Ye Family after all. His father has great power in the Ye Family and is a giant of the Divine Ability Realm. If he dies here, Ye Family will be furious and will pursue it at all costs.
They have some special means, and they may really find out about you, Brother Gu. What we will face at that time will be the crazy revenge of the entire Ye Family, and the strong Divine Ability Realm may even take action himself! It's really... not worth it to get into such a huge disaster for this kind of person! "
Zhao Boyang's words were sincere, and he truly considered Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng saved his life and the lives of all his men. He didn't want to see Gu Sheng fall into a desperate situation because of his quickness.
He knows the horror of the Ye Family better than anyone else.
When Ye Changling, who was hanging in the air, heard Zhao Boyang's words, a faint light of hope ignited in his eyes, and he tried his best to signal with his eyes.
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh.
Seeing this, Zhao Boyang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to persuade.
"Brother Gu, it is better to abolish his cultivation, seize his storage ring, and give him a breath. Ye Family Even if he is traced, as long as the person is not dead, there is always room for change. And after this battle, he Dao Heart has been broken and has become a useless person. It is better to relieve the hatred than killing him..."
"Heh..."
A very light sneer escaped from Gu Sheng's throat, interrupting Zhao Boyang's words.
Zhao Boyang's heart sank suddenly.
Gu Sheng turned back, looked at Ye Changling who was swallowed up by fear again because of that sneer, and spoke slowly.
"If I were afraid of his Ye Family revenge, I wouldn't have taken action in the first place."
The moment he finished speaking, his fingers suddenly clasped together!
There was a clear but horrifying sound of bone cracking.
Ye Changling's suspended body twitched violently, and in his widened eyes, all the energy, fear, and resentment froze in an instant, and then completely dimmed.
His head tilted to the side weakly, and his breath stopped suddenly.
Gu Sheng tossed Ye Changling's body to the ground.
With a pop, the corpse fell into the dust, splashing some dust.
There was dead silence.
Zhao Boyang and his subordinates behind him all froze in place, staring dumbly at the lifeless corpse of the Ye Family's former direct descendant on the ground.
A chill shot from the soles of their feet straight to Tianling Gai, making them shiver all over.
He... he really killed!
Without hesitation, simply and neatly!
Zhao Boyang's lips were trembling, and all the words to dissuade him were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
He looked at Gu Sheng's still calm profile, and felt a turmoil in his heart.
What kind of person is this?
Possessing terrifying strength and being so decisive in killing, facing such a behemoth as Ye Family, there is no hesitation or fear at all?
As if Gu Sheng had done an insignificant thing, his eyes swept over Ye Changling's body on the ground, and then landed on a simple-looking storage ring on his finger.
He grabbed it from the air, and the ring flew into his hand. His consciousness briefly glanced at it and he put it away casually.
After doing all this, he turned around and looked at Zhao Boyang and others.
Zhao Boyang was startled, suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly bowed again, his tone even more awe-inspiring than before, and even a little bit fearful.
"Gu... Brother Gu..."
He didn't know what to call him for a moment. The person in front of him looked young, but his strength and kindness were far beyond his imagination.
"Ye Changling is dead, it's over now."
Gu Sheng spoke calmly, breaking the oppressive silence.
"Do you know a more specific path to Boundless Ancient City? Or is there a teleportation array available nearby?"
His tone was normal, as if he had not just killed a direct descendant of a powerful force that could shock the whole party, but just casually swatted an annoying fly to death.
Zhao Boyang tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and answered respectfully.
"Looking back, brother, from here to the northwest, it takes about seven days' journey to reach the outer area of Boundless Ancient City. As for the teleportation array...
As far as I know, in the largest city nearby, 'Blackwater City', there seems to be an ancient teleportation array leading to the direction of Boundless Ancient City, but it is not clear whether it can be used and what the cost is. "
"Blackwater City..."
Gu Sheng took note of the name.
"In which direction?"
"Go east from here, about three days' journey."
Zhao Boyang quickly pointed out the direction, paused, and then added.
"Brother Gu, Ye Changling died here. I'm afraid the news won't be kept secret for too long. Ye Family's people are probably already on their way here or investigating in other ways.
If you want to go to Blackwater City to use the teleportation array, you must be careful. Ye Family's power is also distributed in Blackwater City..."
"It doesn't matter."
Gu Sheng's tone was still calm.
"If they don't mess with me, everything will be fine."
An understatement, but Zhao Boyang and others once again felt the confidence and domineering attitude that defied all odds.
Zhao Boyang took out a jade slip from his arms and offered it with both hands.
"Brother Gu, this jade slip records the detailed road map from here to Blackwater City, and from Blackwater City to Boundless Ancient City, as well as some known dangerous area markings, which may be useful to you. I would like to express my gratitude and hope to accept it."
Gu Sheng glanced at him, did not refuse, took the jade slip, scanned it with his consciousness, confirmed the information inside, and nodded.
"Thank you."
He put away the jade slip and looked towards the east again, in the direction of Blackwater City.
"Brother Gu," Zhao Boyang hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Thank you for your kindness. If you need my Zhao Boyang in the future, just go to any Hundred Herbs Pavilion store with this token and show it. I will do my best!"
He took out another cyan token engraved with the pattern of a medicinal cauldron and handed it to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng took the token, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.
"See you later."
After saying that, he no longer stayed. As soon as he moved, he turned into a blurry afterimage, galloping towards the east. He was so fast that he disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Boyang and his group were left standing there, looking at the direction in which Gu Sheng disappeared, speechless for a long time.
In the mountains and forests, only the devastation left after the war and the body lying in a pool of blood, gradually turning cold, silently told the story of the shocking incident that had just happened.
A breeze blew by, carrying a strong smell of blood. Zhao Boyang shuddered violently. He looked away and looked at Ye Changling's body on the ground, his face becoming extremely solemn.
"Quickly, clean up the scene and erase all traces related to us! Get out of here immediately!"
He ordered his subordinates in a deep voice, his voice urgent.
He knew that a huge storm might be set off due to today's events.
And the young man named Gu Sheng has already embarked on his journey alone, leaving this chaos and potential murder behind him.
On the battlefield, the smell of blood was so thick that it could not be dissolved. Heavenly Demon Vine's golden-red vines slowly squirmed, absorbing the flesh and blood essence of the warriors in the sect realm.
The strange color became darker and darker, and even on some thick vine trunks, pulsating packets began to bulge, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon. The bifurcated ends trembled slightly, exuding a greedy aura eager to transform and expand.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, powerful mental power surged out, accurately suppressing the restless vines.
Heavenly Demon Vine, who was originally excited and excited, suddenly stagnated, the squirming of the vines became sluggish, and the bulging bags gradually calmed down. The golden-red light was slightly restrained, and the throbbing that was about to break through was forcibly suppressed.
It conveys the emotion of grievance, but under the absolute mental suppression of Gu Sheng, it can only lie dormant, disappear underground again, and disappear.
Zhao Boyang and his men are cleaning the battlefield nervously.
They moved quickly, dragging corpses to one place, searching for possible clues and items, and carefully erasing the traces they left behind.
Everyone's face was extremely solemn, and the air was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster, but more importantly, the fear and panic of causing a catastrophic disaster.
The man in Tsing Yi who had previously made provocative words to Gu Sheng was now as pale as paper, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly.
He peeked at Gu Sheng's figure from a distance, his eyes filled with endless fear and awe.
Whenever Gu Sheng's eyes glanced here unintentionally, he would suddenly lower his head like a frightened rabbit, his heart would beat wildly, and his back would instantly be soaked in cold sweat.
Only now did he truly understand what kind of nonsense he was speaking in front of a murderous god, and it was a great luck to survive.
Zhao Boyang carefully wrapped the dozens of storage rings he had collected in a piece of cloth, walked quickly to Gu Sheng, and presented them to him with both hands.
"Brother Gu, these are all the seizures, please accept them."
His attitude was more respectful than before, even a little humble.
Gu Sheng glanced at the bag of storage rings and did not pick it up immediately, but just said lightly.
"I killed the people, you just take care of the things yourself."
Zhao Boyang insisted.
"Brother Gu, what you said is wrong! If you hadn't taken action, we would have been the dead souls of Ye Changling. These things should be yours.
What's more..."
He paused and lowered his voice.
"Ye Changling and his men all died here. This matter is not trivial. Leaving these items on us would be more of a disaster than a blessing. Please be sure to accept it, Brother Gu. It can be regarded as... doing me a favor."
What he said was sincere and realistic. With these storage rings that clearly belong to the Ye Family force, once they are discovered, there will be irrefutable evidence. Only by leaving it to Gu Sheng can they feel a little more at ease.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and understood Zhao Boyang's concerns. He stopped refusing and reached out to take the heavy bag of storage rings and put it into his arms.
Seeing Gu Sheng accept it, Zhao Boyang was obviously relieved and solemnly clasped his fists again.
"Brother Gu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Zhao Boyang will never forget this life-saving grace!"
"I killed Ye Changling because he wanted to kill me and to protect himself."
Gu Sheng's eyes calmly glanced over the mess on the ground, without any wavering in his tone.
"You survived, just by the way."
His words were direct and cold, with no intention of acknowledging his feelings or getting closer to him.
