Hearing Gu Chen's words, Sun Jiangman was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to suddenly call her.
"Go up?" Sun Jiangman's hesitation.
"Hmm." Gu Chen pointed to the steps and said, "You can go up alone."
Sun Jiangman instantly understood. It turned out that Gu Chen blocked this passage not for her, but for her! Like a high mountain, he was willing to offend so many families and forces, and even fight against martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm, just to block all the raging floods so that she could calmly ascend Starfall Cliff!
"Aren't you going up?"
Sun Jiangman slowly walked to Gu Chen's side, deeply moved.
"I won't go up there." Gu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Even being number one on the Tiger Ranking isn't that interesting..."
It has to be said, Gu Chen's words were extremely arrogant!
But he said it so casually, as if it were nothing!
Because he has the right to be arrogant!
Neither Kang Zuoqing nor Cao Miao could resist Gu Chen, and even Grandmaster Realm Cao Wushuang suffered a crushing defeat. What makes him so arrogant?
Silence reigned all around, broken only by the sound of Sun Jiangman stepping onto the stairs. The crowd watched her ascend Starfall Cliff; some wore complex expressions, others sighed inwardly, but none were devoid of envy.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
A figure descended from the sky, carrying a powerful aura, and arrived with a thunderous roar—it was from Starfall Cliff!
Sun Jiangman couldn't help but stop in her tracks!
The next moment, her pupils contracted, because the figure blasted directly toward Gu Chen!
A circular halo bloomed in the newcomer's hand, and the silver Inner Breath energy of the technique exploded in front of Gu Chen. Then, Gu Chen was actually blasted away!
This time, Gu Chen lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time!
"Gu Chen!" Sun Jiangman hurriedly descended the steps, wanting to help him up, but was stopped by the person who came! Sun Jiangman looked at this person, and her delicate body trembled. He was a middle-aged man, who looked very dignified, with coldness between his brows.
"Zhuge Wangyue!"
Representatives of the Six Great Families!
His appearance once again shocked everyone around him!
In fact, Gu Chen was already prepared when Zhuge Wangyue made her move, but he still couldn't react in time. This palm strike made his chest churn, his blood surge, and he felt extremely uncomfortable!
Wow, that's incredible!
Gu Chen looked up at the newcomer and his heart trembled. This person was also Grandmaster Realm, but much stronger than Cao Wushuang! Gu Chen estimated that even if he was prepared, he would not be able to resist this punch!
"You took my punch and weren't even hurt?" But Gu Chen didn't know that the shock he brought to the other party was no less!
Zhuge Wangyue was secretly shocked, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Gu Chen, saying, "Your name is Gu Chen?"
Gu Chen slowly got up from the ground, not answering him, but coldly saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from one of the Six Great Families."
"I am Zhuge Wangyue," Zhuge Wangyue said calmly. "One of the elders of the Zhuge Family, one of the Six Great Families, ranked sixteenth on the Dragon Ranking!"
Gu Chen's body trembled upon hearing this.
Cao Wushuang wasn't a martial artist on the Dragon Ranking, and even Ning Yufeng barely made it into the top 100, but this Zhuge Wangyue was a top-ranked figure! He had reached the Late Grandmaster Realm! He was sixteenth on the Dragon Ranking! This ranking was enough to prove how powerful he was!
"You broke the rules and attacked someone who participated!" Under Zhuge Wangyue's imposing aura, Gu Chen's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Just because you're from one of the Six Great Families, does that mean you can do whatever you want?"
"Breaking the rules?" Zhuge Wangyue glanced at the injured scions of the noble families around her and sneered, "Blocking roads, injuring people, and you have the nerve to talk to me about rules? What do you think the Noble Aristocratic Family Assembly is? Your plaything?"
"The rules of the competition don't say you can't do this!" Gu Chen stubbornly replied, "I accomplished all of this through my own abilities; I didn't break any rules!"
"I said you broke the rules, so you broke the rules!" Zhuge Wangyue's eyes flashed with murderous intent when she saw that Gu Chen dared to contradict her.
"Why should I!" Gu Chen took a deep breath, looked at him coldly, and said, "What, did you set the rules?"
Bang!
A burst of energy came from afar, surging out from Zhuge Wangyue's body and striking Gu Chen's face fiercely!
This time, Gu Chen was paying close attention to Zhuge Wangyue's every move and was prepared. He raised his hands to protect himself with his True Qi. But even so, he still couldn't withstand Zhuge Wangyue's energy. After his feet plowed two or three meters into the ground, he was blasted away again!
This time, the wall of True Qi energy in front of him shattered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!
He's injured! This is the first time Gu Chen has been injured since landing at Starfall Cliff!
"Now, do you understand why?"
Zhuge Wangyue stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Chen with an arrogant expression.
The gap between the two is too big!
Sixteenth on the Dragon Ranking —that's completely beyond his ability to contend with!
Zhuge Wangyue also used this energy blast from a distance to tell him that rules are set by the strong!
"Get lost!" Zhuge Wangyue said coldly, "I'll spare your life because I know your cultivation wasn't easy! But I'm disqualifying you from the tournament. Now, go down the mountain!"
Boom!
The crowd, who had been firmly suppressed by Gu Chen, became excited and thrilled after Zhuge Wangyue appeared and so forcefully defeated Gu Chen without any chance to fight back!
They finally revealed their arrogant and disdainful side as young masters and ladies of noble families, looking at Gu Chen as if he were a stray dog!
roll?
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. So many years! He hadn't heard that word in ages!
whoosh--
Gu Chen clenched his fists, and thick veins bulged on his forehead and arms!
It's clear that he's already trying hard to control his anger!
"What, you still want to lay a hand on me?" Zhuge Wangyue noticed Gu Chen's reaction, smiled coldly, and said, "You should be aware of the difference between us. I've already spared your life, but if you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll kill you!"
Such forceful and arrogant words made Gu Chen's breathing become even more rapid!
He was already able to ascend Starfall Cliff and then enter the sight of the Sun Family in the Land of Heaven and Earth, but the Six Great Families, including Zhuge Wangyue, went back on their word and did not abide by the original rules of the conference. Although he was angry, he was helpless!
Because Zhuge Wangyue's strength far surpasses his!
Late Revolving Illumination Realm, or even its peak!
Being ranked sixteenth on the Dragon Ranking is definitely not an empty title!
As for Gu Chen, even though he had a chance of winning by relying on the methods of a cultivator, he still dared not make a move!
