"I am Liu Dongyuan, the second head of the Liu Family!"
Liu Dongyuan was furious. As the second head of the Liu Family, he was a prominent figure in Shangjing, the Huaxia, and yet he was being treated with such contempt by Gu Chen!
He was furious and shouted, "You're the one who killed my son, aren't you?!"
"I killed him, so what? Your Liu Family's behavior deserves to die! You deserve to die!" Gu Chen said coldly.
"Fine, fine!" Liu Dongyuan was completely enraged by Gu Chen's arrogance and said, "Stubborn fool! Today I'll show you what the consequences are for offending the Liu Family!"
"Your Liu Family is truly persistent. Your son died, and now I'm here to die too." Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "You want the Jade Guanyin for the spiritual energy inside, right? Let me tell you, I've almost completely refined it."
Damn it!
Liu Dongyuan's eyes were bloodshot!
He mobilized a large force this time because he had made a solemn pledge to the patriarch and the Supreme Elder; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to personally lead the team to the small Zhou City.
The Jade Guanyin was actually refined by Gu Chen; how could he not be furious!
"Second Master, let me handle this!"
Seeing Liu Dongyuan's anger, Liu Changqing stepped forward, coldly looking at Gu Chen, and said, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? This brat is enough for me!"
As he spoke, Liu Changqing also unleashed an astonishing aura, his cultivation at the Revolving Illumination Realm instantly spreading through the void!
As a martial artist at the Revolving Illumination Realm, the release of his aura gave Liu Changqing unparalleled confidence. He smiled arrogantly and looked at Gu Chen, saying, "Boy, there are differences even among martial artists at the Revolving Illumination Realm. You are so young, your foundation is unstable, and you will inevitably be killed by me. Since you have already refined the Jade Guanyin, there is no point in keeping your life!"
"The Fifth Elder is mighty!"
"The Fifth Elder killed him!"
The Liu Family warriors cried out in alarm. They had been trembling when they saw their comrade die before their eyes, but now that Liu Changqing had stepped forward, they were excited again!
After all, Liu Changqing was a master, possessing the cultivation of the Revolving Illumination Realm. He wielded a short sword and was renowned throughout the martial arts world! Even in the entire Huaxia, he was a famous figure!
"Gap?"
Gu Chen's lips curled into a playful smile, a smile that seemed both mocking and sarcastic.
"You brat, you deserve to die!!"
But to Liu Changqing, Gu Chen's smile was like a silent provocation, and in an instant, he charged towards Gu Chen!
"This kid has reached the Revolving Illumination Realm at such a young age; his talent must be quite good. But in the entire history of Huaxia, there are fewer than five people who have reached this level at such a young age. Just as Feiyu said, this kid's foundation isn't very stable!" Liu Dongyuan was leisurely, sneering inwardly, "As for Liu Changqing, as the Fifth Elder, he has rich experience in actual combat. There is a huge difference in strength between those at the Revolving Illumination Realm Revolving Illumination Realm! Regardless of martial arts or cultivation... this kid doesn't even require me to lift a finger!"
Startling Swan Slash!
Just as Liu Dongyuan in thought, Liu Changqing suddenly roared.
In an instant, the short sword seemed to descend from the sky, shooting straight towards Gu Chen! The sword light fell like a thunderclap, seemingly shaking the very space. Amidst the muffled thunder, the internal force exploded, creating a ring of energy patterns.
However, Gu Chen's body nimbly dodged the knife like a willow branch breaking. Instead of avoiding it, he turned his back and took out the Dragon Scale Sword, swiftly thrusting it towards Liu Changqing!
So fast!
A look of surprise flashed in Liu Changqing's eyes. He hadn't expected that Gu Chen would not only dodge his attack but also react and retaliate so quickly!
This seemingly ordinary sword strike was actually drawn in by Gu Chen's aura, making it impossible for him to dodge!
"Bang!" Liu Changqing picked up his sword again, gripped the short sword, and the two swords clashed, producing a soft sound. He barely managed to deflect Gu Chen's long sword that was attacking him.
Liu Changqing felt a jolt of pain in his hand. As his gaze swept across the void, it met Gu Chen's gaze at a certain point in the void. Startled, Liu Changqing finally realized that an opponent like Gu Chen was not as fragile as he had previously imagined, because he saw that Gu Chen was extremely calm.
Calmness is a necessary state of mind for a martial artist, especially a master, and Gu Chen is such a master! Wherever he stands casually, he is like a deep, unfathomable pool of still water, or a sky dotted with cold stars, profound and distant, giving people a sense of elusive artistic conception.
Despite being so young, he is as old and mature as an ancient pine tree!
So strong!
With just one strike, a thought flashed through Liu Changqing's mind, and his body trembled violently!
Although Liu Changqing and Gu Chen were both only at the Revolving Illumination Realm Revolving Illumination Realm, there was a vague connection between them. It was a strange feeling, yet it was so real. No one could see it clearly, but everyone had a real experience of it.
The next second, before he could even react, Gu Chen charged towards him and slashed diagonally with his sword again!
Click!
Still lost in a profound sense of wonder, Liu Changqing was instantly struck by this attack, which penetrated his Inner Breath barrier. Then, accompanied by a cracking sound, he was completely sent flying!
Puff!
Liu Changqing spat out a mouthful of blood and landed heavily on the ground, staring at Gu Chen in disbelief. He had actually been defeated in a single move!
He tried to get up, but Gu Chen was faster and was already in front of him, looking down at him.
Before he could even fathom the meaning behind Gu Chen's icy gaze, Liu Changqing felt a sudden pain on his face, and then his face was stomped on hard, instantly turning into a bloody mess!
Gu Chen's kick was incredibly powerful, covering Liu Changqing's entire face, preventing him from even letting out a scream. His body seemed to have lost its will to move!
Even Zhao Haiqing, standing behind him, while feeling relieved, couldn't help but marvel at Gu Chen's decisiveness and ruthlessness!
"How dare you, you brat!"
Another loud roar rang out!
Beside Liu Dongyuan were two martial artists at the Revolving Illumination Realm. One of them was Liu Changqing, while the other had remained silent until now. However, he had no choice but to step forward. With Liu Changqing's defenses breached by Gu Chen's sword and his body severely injured, he was no longer able to continue. He had to represent the Liu Family!
"You scoundrel!"
Gu Chen didn't even turn around; he simply swung his sword in a backhand strike.
hiss--
A sharp sound of sword light cutting through the air rang out. Before the martial artist of the Revolving Illumination Realm could even get close, he was struck by Gu Chen's sword, which seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His body shuddered, and he spat out a stream of blood before falling heavily to the ground!
Instant kill!
Everyone around was horrified!
What kind of strength is this?
Even Liu Dongyuan was the same. After Cao Chengfeng's incident, he had already overestimated Gu Chen's strength as much as possible, but he still did not expect that Gu Chen would be so powerful!
Two martial artists at the Early Revolving Illumination Realm were no match for him at all!
They were defeated in an instant!
