Silence fell all around. After Gu Chen defeated Liu Changqing and his companion, the other Liu Family warriors were nothing more than dead souls under Gu Chen's sword. At this moment, Liu Dongyuan, the head of the Liu Family and now the second head of the family, had no choice but to come to his side.
"Very good!"
Liu Dongyuan looked at Gu Chen with icy eyes filled with resentment and said, "Boy, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable; it's far beyond my expectations."
"There are too many things that have exceeded your expectations," Gu Chen said calmly. "For example, you wanted to massacre the Black Wind Hall, but you didn't expect that I would be the one to massacre your Liu Family."
"Presumptuous!"
Liu Dongyuan roared, "It's been so many years since I've seen such an arrogant junior. But you've defeated two of my capable subordinates and killed an elder of my Liu Family. You certainly deserve my attention."
"You talk too much nonsense!"
Gu Chen smiled coldly, then moved his foot away from Liu Changqing and unleashed another powerful attack, shooting towards Liu Dongyuan!
Whoosh!
Gu Chen's sudden attack caught Liu Dongyuan off guard, but as a seasoned veteran, he reacted quickly as the force of the energy struck, then raised a layer of internal energy to block it.
Bang!
Liu Dongyuan stumbled back a step after being hit by Gu Chen's attack, his body swaying slightly involuntarily.
Immediately, the muscles on Liu Dongyuan's face twitched inexplicably. It wasn't because Gu Chen's force had injured him earlier, but because at this moment, as he was about to make his move, he couldn't find any weakness in Gu Chen, nor could he sense Gu Chen's anger. However, he knew that as long as he made a move, no matter which angle or route he attacked from, he would definitely be met with Gu Chen's most ruthless suppression.
The fact that Gu Chen's intent was not felt did not mean that he had no fighting spirit. Although the fighting spirit released by Gu Chen Gu Chen to be invisible, the pressure brought by the fighting spirit filled the entire space like a strong wind, and bubbled up from time to time like boiling water, tightly surrounding Liu Dongyuan.
No matter how slight the opponent's movement, it would be impossible to escape Gu Chen's supernatural sense of touch.
"What is this? Is it an aura?"
Liu Dongyuan was also a swordsman, but now, with the sword in his hand, he couldn't use it at all! Because at this moment, his body was unable to move under Gu Chen's terrifying aura! In fact, large beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead!
"What is the second master doing?"
Originally, the Liu Family warriors around were excited when the second family head appeared, but now they finally realized something was wrong. The two people in the room seemed to be stunned, looking at each other, but they did not make another move.
This bizarre scene is puzzling and difficult to understand.
Many people murmured and expressed doubts. In their minds, no matter how powerful Gu Chen was, the Second Patriarch was the face of the Liu Family. After he stepped in, Gu Chen should have been defeated as easily as a withered leaf. Liu Dongyuan two moves.
Liu Changqing lay on the ground. After Gu Chen moved his feet, his bloodied and mangled face was revealed. He shouted angrily, "Second Master, kill him!"
Liu Changqing was now incapacitated and was spitting blood as he spoke, but in his heart, he wished he could kill this arrogant brat immediately to vent his hatred!
As the fifth elder of the Liu Family, Gu Chen's act of trampling on their face was even more outrageous and devastating than simply slapping them in the face!
His pride absolutely cannot accept this!
"Idiot!"
But at that moment, Gu Chen let out a muffled groan, filled with intense confidence and contempt, and said, "Can't you see that he's already been suppressed by my aura?"
"Ridiculous!" Liu Changqing was taken aback at first, but then laughed bitterly and roared, "Your aura suppression? The Second Patriarch is a top-tier figure, having been at the Early Revolving Illumination Realm for over a decade. To be suppressed by a junior like you? It's utterly laughable!?"
But soon, Liu Changqing couldn't continue, because he noticed that the sweat on Liu Dongyuan's face was increasing and becoming more and more concentrated as time went by...
Could this kid be telling the truth? Liu Changqing's body trembled violently!
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the other martial artists also changed.
The second head of the Liu Family... was actually suppressed by the aura of this kid in front of him? How is that possible!
At this moment, while being suppressed by Gu Chen, Liu Dongyuan also heard the discussions around him. In the end, he knew that he could not continue like this, otherwise, he would lose before the battle even began!
He took out a pill from his pocket. No one could see what kind of pill it was, but the moment he swallowed it, his aura suddenly changed!
Just moments ago, under Gu Chen's aura, he was like a weak rabbit, but in an instant, he transformed into a fierce lion!
This change even surprised Gu Chen.
"Purple Qi Pill!"
At this moment, Liu Changqing suddenly exclaimed, "Second Master, you've taken the Purple Qi Pill!"
"Good!"
The second family head, Liu Dongyuan, had a ferocious expression on his face, and his muscles were bulging. Under his astonishing aura, even the robes that originally fit him were torn apart by his explosive muscles!
His muscular upper body was completely bare!
Extremely powerful!
"Purple Qi Pill, a level three pill! It can raise a martial artist's cultivation level by a certain amount. It's a pill I treasure! The entire Liu Family only has two!" Liu Dongyuan coldly stared at Gu Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent, and said, word by word, "Although taking the pill has side effects, and my cultivation will decrease for a while, and the effect won't last long, I think it's worth it to kill you, you brat!"
"So!"
Liu Dongyuan at Gu Chen and roared, "Go to hell!"
Liu Dongyuan was originally at the Peak of the Early Revolving Illumination Realm, but after taking the pill, he directly advanced to the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm!
Seeing this sudden change in him, Gu Chen's face also showed a solemn expression!
Right after Liu Dongyuan roared, he suddenly made his move!
Even though he had taken the Purple Qi Pill, Liu Dongyuan knew perfectly well that the longer the battle dragged on under the influence of the drug, the more detrimental it would be to his fighting spirit. He knew it was futile, but he did it anyway because he had no other choice!
Just now, he had been completely suppressed by Gu Chen's aura and was now at a disadvantage. If he didn't move, he would only become more passive, and his pride wouldn't allow him to act like a coward!
After all, he was a renowned martial artist who had established himself in Huaxia and had the backing of the Mao Hidden Sect! Even if it meant taking elixirs, he absolutely could not back down!
As the blades rose, rising amidst a vortex of air carrying the sounds of wind and thunder, the two men's short swords and longswords clashed once more!
"Clang clang..." Two piercing, crisp sounds rang out from the void, causing the air currents to ripple erratically!
Liu Dongyuan's arm, which was gripping the knife, went numb and sore. Gu Chen's longsword had blocked his attack at the most crucial moment each time.
No one could see from which angle Gu Chen's longsword came out; it was invisible and traceless, a diagonal strike, a thrust, a horizontal movement, a flick—so simple, yet its physical form was imperceptible!
However, the chilling fighting spirit and murderous intent it brought filled the space, making everyone present feel frightened. Gu Chen's every move seemed unpredictable, but in fact, it was full of killing intent!
"So strong!"
Liu Dongyuan's figure was momentarily halted, and he immediately stumbled. He had originally thought that after taking the pill, his strength would completely overwhelm Gu Chen, but now he realized that he still couldn't do it!
