Gu Chen's entry into the Land of Heaven and Earth was not part of his original plan. He only wanted to find the Gu Family, rescue his father and Zhao Bo, and make the Gu Family pay the price.
However, Gu Mingheng's ascent to the Dragon Ranking exceeded his expectations, so he also got involved and made it onto the Dragon Ranking as well.
Afterwards, through the fortune of heaven and earth on the Dragon Ranking and the spiritual energy in the Land of Heaven and Earth, he reached the Peak Revolving Illumination Realm. Now is the time when Gu Chen's strength is at its peak. Unexpectedly, there are still people who dare to chase after him. This made him completely determined to kill.
"Knowing full well that I'm already on the Dragon Ranking, they still act this way. Do they think I'm weak and easily bullied?"
Gu Chen's eyes were icy cold. After he had used the gliding force to rush ahead a considerable distance, he turned his head to look in the direction from which the aristocratic families had chased after him. Then, he pushed off with his feet and increased his speed again!
He also heard the shouts of the group. Cultivation methods? It seemed they had come for his cultivation methods. In fact, even if Gu Chen hadn't used the Sword Control Technique when he was in the Heaven and Earth Palace, his sudden rise to the 35th place would have aroused suspicion from those with ulterior motives. So he simply went all out and used the Sword Control Technique to create momentum for his trip to the Gu Family.
While the current situation was within Gu Chen's expectations, the number of people involved was still unexpected.
He never imagined that these people would be so enthusiastic and fanatical about cultivation methods, searching almost everywhere!
Along the way, he saw many martial artists from powerful families, but none of them could stop him.
"According to the map provided by Zhuge Kun, the Heaven and Earth Forest is ahead." This was one of Gu Chen's goals. The Heaven and Earth Forest is home to Heaven and Earth Beast, which are also known as demonic beasts. Moreover, it is rich in rare and precious materials. Gu Chen's Dragon Scale Sword was already broken. Although he was going to the Gu Family, since he was going through the Heaven and Earth Forest, he could also look for some materials to refine pills or forge a new flying sword.
After all, a perfectly intact Dragon Scale Sword would be of great use to Gu Chen, given his current strength.
These people were chasing Gu Chen from behind, but they were no match for Gu Chen. Gu Chen was now ranked among the top thirty-five in the Land of Heaven and Earth. Once he accelerated, they could only look up to him, and their numbers dwindled.
However, there were still a few people with good agility. After running for a while, Gu Chen turned around and saw seven or eight martial artists following closely behind. After reaching an open space, Gu Chen suddenly stopped.
His action caught the eight martial artists off guard, and they quickly braked, watching Gu Chen warily.
"Still chasing?" Gu Chen glanced sideways at the group and said, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Gu Chen, don't be so smug!" one of the martial artists shouted angrily, "Hand over the cultivation method!"
"Cultivation techniques?" Gu Chen chuckled, then his expression turned serious, and he raised his palm! Seeing this, the others were startled and hastily retreated. However, Gu Chen's palm wasn't aimed at them; it struck a distant mountain peak! Bang—
With a deafening roar, the mountain peak was shattered to pieces by Gu Chen's mere gesture!
The mountain peak was at least fifteen meters high, yet it was destroyed by Gu Chen's palm strike from a distance?
The martial artists gasped in shock, their hair standing on end, staring dumbfounded like clay sculptures.
Seeing Gu Chen withdraw his hand and stand casually with his hands behind his back, they finally understood that this guy was indeed as rumored, no, even more terrifying than the rumors suggested!
"I know you're fast," Gu Chen said calmly. "With a bunch of trash like you, you're no match for me. You're just keeping an eye on me so your family's experts can come, aren't you?"
"You, what nonsense are you spouting!" one of the martial artists shouted, barely suppressing his shock.
"However, I'm not going to give you that chance!" Gu Chen said coldly, "I'm going to make an example of you!"
"Now that I've come to this Land of Heaven and Earth, I have no intention of hiding my face!"
"I have come to this Land of Heaven and Earth, and I will stride forward with my head held high!"
"So, you want to kill me and obtain my cultivation methods? No matter who you are, there's only one fate for you!"
"Die!!"
Gu Chen snorted coldly, and with each sonic wave, the eight martial artists lost their footing. The next moment, they saw Gu Chen's figure vanish from his spot, and they immediately became alert.
Unfortunately, they couldn't see how Gu Chen Gu Chen, just as they couldn't see how he made his move. In the blink of an eye, there were popping sounds in the void, and three people fell down!
The sudden death of the pursuer left the remaining five utterly horrified. Just as they were about to huddle together in an attempt to block him, Gu Chen struck again!
This time, no one saw Gu Chen's movements clearly. In less than three breaths, the eight martial artists who had been relentlessly pursuing him were already lying on the ground, turned into eight corpses.
After this delay, the slower martial artists finally arrived. When they saw the corpses surrounding Gu Chen, they immediately stopped and exclaimed in horror, "You actually dared to kill people?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Gu Chen smiled faintly, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said, "Anyone who chases me again, I'll kill them all!"
"You, you're just an outsider! How dare you kill our aristocratic martial artists in the Land of Heaven and Earth!"
Those people were still incredulous, but the eight corpses on the ground were crystal clear. They simply couldn't understand why Gu Chen dared to actually kill! Before this, whether at the Aristocratic Family Assembly or in front of the Heaven and Earth Palace, Gu Chen had always displayed his arrogance and domineering nature, but he had never killed anyone.
Therefore, these people speculated that Gu Chen was just a lone wolf and dared not kill anyone! It was also for this reason that they dared to search recklessly, thinking that there would be no danger to their lives.
But now, seeing Gu Chen kill people, these people's expressions changed drastically, and they were terrified.
He was ranked thirty-fifth on the Dragon Ranking and also knew cultivation methods. If a fight broke out, killing them all wouldn't be difficult for him! So, after discovering Gu Chen's sharp eyes and the killing intent filling his aura, they began to retreat frantically, completely stunned by Gu Chen.
"Get out of here, all of you!" Gu Chen said coldly. "I will show no mercy. Even the six great families, if they cross me, I will kill them without hesitation!"
Mad!
These people finally understood Gu Chen's arrogance. When they saw Gu Chen run away again after saying those words, they looked at each other, and none of them dared to chase after him.
Half an hour later, Gu Chen had already run hundreds of miles. After reaching the Peak Revolving Illumination Realm, the True Essence Power in his body was inexhaustible, and running was simply child's play for him!
