At this moment, in the backyard of the Gu family's mansion, there is a carefully repaired pond.
The current head of the Gu family, Gu Lie, stands with his hands behind his back.
He looked calmer than a few months ago, with the majesty of the head of the family on his brows, but deep in his eyes, there was also a trace of imperceptible fatigue.
Standing next to him is a spirited old man, the new First Elder, a person carefully selected by Gu Lie who is absolutely loyal and reliable.
Looking at the spirit carp swimming leisurely in the pond, Gu Lie sighed softly, with emotion in his tone.
"Looking back a few months ago, my Gu family was just a struggling family in this Wuyun City, suffering from internal and external troubles. Who could have imagined that in such a short period of time, we would be in such a situation today."
The new First Elder echoed respectfully.
"What the head of the family said is that all this is thanks to the second young master and Miss Qing'er. If the second young master hadn't turned the tide, Miss Qing'er would have been behind...
Alas, it's just that the second young master hasn't returned home for a long time. I wonder how he is doing? There is also the eldest young master Gu Feng. He wrote a letter not long ago saying that he has been training at the Central Continent and has been appreciated by a strong Venerable Realm. He has accepted him as a disciple and is giving careful guidance. The letter said that it is possible to break through the sect realm. God bless my Gu family!"
Mentioning his two sons, Gu Lie showed a happy smile on his face, especially when he mentioned that the eldest son Gu Feng was expected to break through the sect realm, he felt happy. The strong men of the sect realm were already considered to be the top combat power in this area.
"That kid Yun'er has his own opportunities and Fortune, so we don't have to worry too much. It's also his blessing that Feng'er can get guidance from the venerable."
Gu Lie nodded, then changed the topic and asked.
"By the way, Tianyuan City and Tianlang City, how is the progress of the establishment of Xinfang City?"
The new First Elder will report immediately.
"Master, Tianyuan City, there is still some resistance. Several local snake families are still waiting and bargaining, and the specific terms of the market are still being discussed, but the problem is not big, and we will definitely win it given time.
As for Tianlang City, because City Lord Xu has a close relationship with our Gu family, City Lord Xu personally endorsed and strongly supported the opening of the market this time, so everything went smoothly. It is expected that it will be officially opened in three days.
City Lord Xu also said that because his daughter, Miss Xu Ling'er, had received so much care from the second young master at Wuyun City, this time Tianlang City Fangshi opened, he would personally come and cut the ribbon to mark the grand opening."
"Oh? City Lord Xu wants to cut the ribbon in person? Haha, okay! It seems that girl Ling'er has helped our Gu family forge a good relationship."
Gu Lie smiled even more when he heard this. Being able to maintain such a good relationship with the Lord of the City is extremely beneficial to the expansion of the Gu family's business.
While the two were talking, they were planning the future of the Gu family, with expectations for the future on their faces.
suddenly--
Boom!!!!
A deafening loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the main entrance of the Gu family's mansion! The sound was like a bolt from the blue, instantly breaking the peace and busyness inside the Gu family!
Immediately afterwards, there was the harsh sound of metal twisting and tearing, and several short and shrill screams!
"What's going on?!"
The smile on Gu Lie's face suddenly froze, replaced by solemnity and anger. The face of the new First Elder also changed suddenly.
The source of the loud noise was the Gu family's two doors, which were made of hundreds of refined steel and were half a foot thick, symbolizing the majesty and defensive strength of the family! At this moment, these two heavy doors were kicked off the door axis with unimaginable force!
The huge stainless steel door panel flew inwards like two fluttering leaves and hit at a speed that was too fast to be caught by the naked eye! Several Gu family warriors behind the door who happened to be patrolling here did not even have time to react, and were hit by the door panel flying at high speed!
"Pfft!"
"Crack!"
The flesh and blood were blurred, and the sound of broken bones and tendons was heartbreaking! Those warriors were smashed into a pulp on the spot, with blood and minced meat splattered on the walls and ground, and they died instantly!
"Enemy attack!!!"
The shrill siren finally sounded throughout the Gu family mansion belatedly.
The movement in the front yard immediately aroused the reaction of the Gu family's guards.
Most of these guards are old members of the Gu family who have followed the Gu family since the Zhentian Escort Agency period and have experienced the baptism of blood and fire. Although in recent months the Gu family's status has been improved and they have lived a relatively stable life and rarely used swords and sticks or fought with darts, the bloody spirit engraved in their bones has not been erased.
At this moment, they encountered a sudden attack and saw their companions die tragically, and their eyes instantly turned red!
"Copy guy!"
"Protect the family!"
"Damn it, who dares to come to the Gu family and act wild!"
Roars came one after another, and dozens of the fastest-reacting bodyguards, who were warriors, quickly grabbed the weapons around them and rushed out from all corners like angry lions, instantly surrounding the uninvited guests who were standing at the gate and caused this tragic scene.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure standing at the entrance of the broken door.
It was a very young-looking man, wearing a tight-fitting black suit, with a stern face, even a hint of femininity.
Where he stood, he seemed to blend in with the surrounding shadows, and his whole body exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away. Facing the dozens of murderous and scolding Gu family bodyguards around him, his face showed no expression, and his eyes were as indifferent as if he were looking at a swarm of ants, full of disdain.
"Where did you come from, you little bastard! If you dare to commit murder in the Gu family, you will die!"
A hot-tempered young escort leader saw that the other party was so contemptuous of them. He could no longer hold back his anger. He shouted loudly, swung the ghost-headed knife in his hand, and with a sharp wind-breaking sound, he took the lead and slashed towards the neck of the young man in black! The sword was powerful and heavy, and he obviously used all his strength to kill the uninvited guest immediately!
However, in the face of this knife that could split a stone into pieces, the young man in black didn't even bother to raise his eyelids.
He just raised his right hand with an expressionless face and waved it casually at the dozens of Gu family bodyguards surrounding him in front of him.
There is no earth-shattering explosion of energy, no dazzling flash of brilliance.
But the moment he waved his hand, an invisible but extremely sharp force, like countless transparent sharp blades, instantly centered on him and swept out in all directions!
The little leader of the escorts who was charging at the front, his blade was still three feet away from the neck of the young man in black, but his body stiffened suddenly, and his forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.
The next second--
"Pfft--!"
"Puff puff puff--!"
A series of creepy sounds of sharp blades cutting flesh sounded intensively!
The dozens of Gu family bodyguards who surrounded the young men in black felt an irresistible tearing feeling spread throughout their bodies before they even understood what was happening! Their protective aura was as fragile as paper in front of this invisible sharp blade, and was instantly cut into pieces!
The blood is like dozens of beautiful flowers blooming at the same time!
The screams were cut off as soon as they came out!
At the same time, the bodies of dozens of Gu family warriors were cut and torn apart by the invisible force! Broken limbs and arms mixed with internal organ fragments flew across the air in the yard! Warm blood splashed down like a torrential rain, instantly dyeing the ground in the huge front yard a dazzling scarlet red!
Just a wave of the hand!
Dozens of bodyguards and warriors who had experienced fighting and were considered the backbone of the Gu family were completely wiped out and no one was spared!
In the entire front yard, there was no longer a complete corpse. Broken bodies and broken weapons were scattered on the ground. The extremely strong smell of blood rose into the sky, seeming to dye the sky into a light red.
Here, in just a few breaths, it went from a busy place to a living hell!
"Ugh--!"
More Gu family warriors and tribesmen came over after hearing the noise from the backyard, and happened to witness this Shura field-like scene.
The pungent smell of blood and the horrific sight made many people feel so upset that they couldn't help but bend over and vomit.
More people turned pale, their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably, and their eyes were filled with boundless fear and horror.
They looked at the spotless and expressionless young man in black standing in the middle of a pool of blood, as if they were looking at a demon crawling out of hell!
Who is this devil? Why did he come to the Gu family to carry out this act of extermination?
Panic, like a plague, quickly spread in the hearts of every Gu family member and warrior.
The strong and pungent smell of blood and the stumps and broken arms on the ground all impacted their nerves, making some young tribesmen so frightened that their legs became weak and they were almost unable to stand still.
The young man in black glanced indifferently at the living members of the Gu family present. His eyes were so cold that there was no trace of human emotion, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant insects. "A group of ants."
He softly uttered four words, the sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard in everyone's ears, with the utmost contempt.
"Asshole! That's too much!"
A Guest Elder who has served in the Gu family for many years and has the cultivation level of the Heavenly Martial Realm can't hold back the anger and humiliation in his chest.
He stood out from the crowd, pointed at the young man in black, his beard and hair were spread out, and asked angrily.
"Who is your Excellency? Why do you have such a deep grudge against my Gu family that you want to commit such a murderous attack?! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?!"
"God's punishment?"
The corners of the young man's mouth in black raised a sarcastic arc, looking at the Heavenly Martial Realm guest as if looking at a noisy frog.
"An ant who is willing to die is worthy of talking about divine punishment?"
Before he finished speaking, he didn't even make any obvious action, just stared slightly.
The anger on the Heavenly Martial Realm Guest Elder's face instantly solidified, replaced by boundless fear and disbelief.
He felt an invisible and terrifying force instantly strangled his throat and penetrated all his limbs!
"Pfft--"
Just like an air bag filled with water that was crushed instantly, the name Heavenly Martial Realm Guest Elder could not even leave a last word. Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the whole body suddenly exploded! It turned into a thick mist of blood, mixed with broken bones and internal organs, and spattered to the ground, blending with the previous blood stains.
Silence!
Deathly silence!
Heavenly Martial Realm! In this Wuyun City, Heavenly Martial Realm is considered to be the top combat power, enough to serve as the family elder! But in front of this young man in black, he didn't even have the qualifications to let the opponent move a finger, and he was exploded to death at a glance?
This horrific scene completely destroyed the last courage and luck in the hearts of everyone in the Gu family.
"Ah! The devil! He is the devil!"
"Run... run away quickly!"
I don't know who shouted first, and the surviving people collapsed completely, crying and running towards the back house, only regretting that their parents had lost two legs.
However, the young man in black seemed to be in no hurry to pursue him.
He looked at the scurrying figures from behind, a trace of cat and mouse-like banter flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand again and waved lightly at the fleeing crowd and the hundreds of warriors who came from other directions after hearing the news and trying to stop them.
No sound, no light.
But a strange and terrifying scene happened.
The hundreds of Gu family guards who were running or in defensive postures suddenly froze in their movements. Then, their bodies seemed to have been cut by countless invisible sharp blades at the same time. Like broken porcelain, they shattered silently and turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood, which were scattered on the ground!
Blood spurted out from countless broken blood vessels like a fountain, dyeing the courtyard even more scarlet and dazzling.
The entire front yard, and even the corridors and open spaces connected to the middle yard, were instantly filled with hundreds of mutilated corpses of inhuman shapes! Real blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like a mountain!
At this moment, Gu Lie, who had received the emergency notification, and First Elder Gu Jianghe, who had just taken office, finally hurried out from the depths of the house.
When they saw the Shura hell-like scene in front of them, the two of them stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning!
Gu Lie's face suddenly changed. The rosy color brought by the family's prosperity faded instantly and became as pale as paper.
He looked at the blood and broken corpses on the ground, and at the black-clothed devil standing in the middle of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, as if he controlled life and death. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe! These... these were the sons of his Gu family! In just a short moment, they were slaughtered like this!
As for the new First Elder Gu Jianghe, although he has a certain level of cultivation, he has never seen such a tragic scene before? The strong bloody smell rushed straight into his nose, and the hellish visual impact made his stomach instantly turn upside down. He couldn't help but bend over with a "wow" sound and violently retched. His legs were shaking violently uncontrollably, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The eyes of the young man in black passed over the corpses on the ground and fell on Gu Lie and Gu Jianghe. Finally, they settled on Gu Lie, who although his face was pale, was still standing up straight.
"You are the head of the Gu family, Gu Lie?"
The voice of the young man in black was still indifferent, and no emotion could be heard at all.
Gu Lie suppressed the turmoil and overwhelming grief and anger in his heart, and he knew that he could never fall down at this moment.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady.
"It's Gu! Who are you? Where did my Gu family offend to end up in this disaster?!"
"Offended?"
The sarcastic curve at the corner of the young man's mouth reappeared.
