Gu Yuanqing watched Si Zhiyu approach with a calm expression. He did not know this man was the Crimson Dragon Cult Leader, but he could tell that his cultivation was likely in the Grandmaster Realm.
Having once slain a Grandmaster with a single strike and fought Xu Lianying many times in the Spiritual Mountain Trial, he already had a general understanding of the Grandmaster Realm and felt no fear whatsoever.
In just a few steps, Si Zhiyu crossed several hundred meters and came within thirty zhang of Gu Yuanqing. He reached out and pressed his hand toward Gu Yuanqing from afar, bringing his Grandmaster aura down upon him at the same time.
Gu Yuanqing felt his entire aura falter, and all the true qi within his body ground to a halt.
This man's Grandmaster power is completely different from Eunuch Xu's. Instead, it's much like how I use North Spring Mountain to suppress other people's cultivation. No wonder Prince Qing thought I was a Grandmaster back then.
Gu Yuanqing's expression remained calm. Countless battles to the death had tempered his mental fortitude far beyond that of ordinary people. There was probably no one in this world who had "died" as many times as he had.
Si Zhiyu had initially thought little of him, but when he noticed Gu Yuanqing's calm gaze, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
In that very instant, his expression changed sharply. Every connection between his Dao Embryo, his mind, and heaven and earth was severed, and all the true essence within his body was forced into his Dao Embryo.
This Gu Yuanqing is also a Fire Dao Realm cultivator beyond the Grandmaster Realm!
Terror filled his eyes. A second later, two Sharp Needles pierced his eyes and shot out through the back of his skull.
