There Are Experts Among the Beast Race Too
Once or twice, but not a third time.
Gu De's voice then rang out.
"Once a choice is made, one must bear the consequences."
The moment the words fell, countless people present suddenly felt a sword's edge.
This sword light wasn't the kind that would attract worldwide attention, yet the moment it appeared, everyone seemed to clearly "see" it, every single detail, down to the last hair.
This feeling is very strange.
It was as if this sword beam was not fast to begin with.
They already had difficulty grasping the situation during the battle, but this sword strike seemed to have appeared in their minds even without them consciously looking for it.
Laugh.
The sword's edge dissipated.
I looked at it so closely, as if I had been observing it for a long time, but when it disappeared, I felt that it was just a fleeting moment.
But just then, an arm flew out from the chaos of battle.
The arm had clearly just been severed, and blood was gushing from the wound.
"This... it's a severed arm!"
Someone gasped, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Countless people were also deeply shocked at this moment.
Even if they were driven back, it's not a big deal.
But if it's a severed arm, then the situation is different.
It's important to understand that, without a significant disparity in factors, severing someone's arm so easily would be no simple feat.
Moreover, judging from the clothes worn on that arm, it is clearly none other than Qian Guiyi, who just re-entered the arena.
"This... he only just entered the arena and already lost an arm, so the Human Emperor's strength..."
Someone couldn't help but speak up, then glanced in the direction of the Dragon Race, filled with apprehension.
"It seems that those Beast Race back then were far more complex than we imagined."
At this moment, Qian Guiyi's figure was once again knocked off the field.
Everyone looked over and saw that Qian Guiyi's face was visibly pale, and his right arm had indeed disappeared.
Bang! Bang!
Then there were two more sounds.
Xu Tianmiao and Lu Xun also reached the boundary, but unlike Qian Guiyi, they were not eliminated from the field from the beginning.
However, everyone clearly saw that the two of them, with perfect tacit understanding, both stumbled before making their entrance.
At this moment, everyone finally saw Gu De's figure again.
He was standing not far in front of Li Baimei, looking at Li Baimei and saying:
"Continue, or admit defeat?"
"Continue," Li Baimei said.
Gu De nodded, said nothing more, and then vanished again in a flash.
At the same time, his voice rang out beside Li Baimei's eyebrows.
Li Baimei, who had been intently observing Gu De, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing the content of the voice and immediately spoke up:
How did you know?
What the other party was talking about was none other than the very same mental Ancestor, Aid Me had used when he fought against the Beast Race.
This is a closely guarded secret of the Li Clan.
Even those in important positions such as the head of a family would find it difficult to learn such methods unless they possessed a certain level of talent and their aptitude and efforts were recognized by the ancestor.
But the other party actually knew, and knew exactly what he did know.
Gu De did not answer.
His answer was a powerful hand gripping his neck and pressing him into thin air.
At the same time, he said:
"Distracted? You're even worse than them."
As soon as the words were spoken, the light symbolizing the boundary at the edge of the arena disappeared.
Li Baimei didn't speak, but stared intently at Gu De, and asked again:
How did you know?
This is by no means a trivial matter.
His method was not without its flaws.
As the saying goes, even the Ten Perfections and Nine Beauties has one flaw. Even a powerful method like "My Ancestor, Aid Me" has a fatal weakness.
Once you understand the core principles, it's easy to pinpoint your weaknesses.
And now, the other party actually knows all of this.
If the other party were to utilize this mental technique or spread it, it would be tantamount to crippling a unique skill of the Li Clan.
This was something he couldn't help but care about immensely.
Gu De simply smiled and said:
"Little one, there are always people stronger than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You may be strong, but that's all there is to it."
After saying that, he released his hand.
Then, his gaze fell on one spot.
There, Qian Guiyi's arm had not yet touched the ground.
Swish!
A force emerged, lifting the arm and bringing it to the person in front of them.
The next moment, he raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder onto the wound on his arm.
Then, he looked at Qian Guiyi, whose face was gloomy, threw his arm over, and said:
"It'll be fine once it's installed; it can still be used. It's better than the injury you suffered before."
Qian Guiyi took the arm, said nothing, glanced at the wound on the severed arm, put it back, and then said:
What do you want?
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Gu De.
Gu De smiled and said:
"With your hearts and minds divided, how can you possibly resolve the threat posed by the Beast Race?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred, and many people's faces immediately showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.
They had all witnessed the strength of the Human Emperor.
With such strength, if it were used to deal with the Beast Race, wouldn't it be a sure thing?
At that time, the Beast Race will probably become a true resource for Human Race cultivation, and perhaps they can also benefit from it.
Seemingly sensing the crowd's emotions, Gu De glanced around and scoffed lightly:
"There are some experts among the Beast Race, so don't think that you're finished just because of last time."
"I will take action, but you will have to deal with these small fry from the Four Sacred Beast Race."
"Until then, we'll have to see how you perform."
However, Gu De paused, glanced at the surrounding forces, and said:
"However, your abilities are indeed rather lacking. I will also provide you with some resources to help you gain some recognition."
"But regarding the Beast Race, you must cooperate. Of course, for you, the benefits far outweigh the risks, provided you are willing to cooperate."
"I have walked the Emperor Road before, and I know how to open it. As long as you perform well, I will open the Emperor Road for you and give you a chance to leap over the dragon gate."
"The Emperor Road?"
Upon hearing this, countless people present were greatly encouraged.
The name of the Human Emperor is known to all, and matters concerning Human Emperor can be easily understood with a little research.
And what is most closely related to the name of the Human Emperor is the Emperor Road.
According to records, the Human Emperor was the first person to walk the Emperor Road.
Now that the other party claims to be opening the Emperor Road, coupled with the strength he just displayed, countless people immediately believe that what Gu De said is true.
Only some major powers and the four top powers remained hesitant after hearing this.
Everyone can say these empty words, but only what is truly put into practice is real.
As for this so-called good performance, it's even more of a vague and unrealistic concept.
Unless the other party can actually prove it.
However, judging from what he has just said, it is clear that he has no intention of proving anything.
Just as everyone was thinking about it...
Suddenly, a presence emanated from the distant horizon.
It was extremely fast and possessed a very unique aura.
Wherever it passed, everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward the direction from which the aura emanated.
This aura...
A hint of doubt flashed through the minds of countless people.
On the field, Gu De's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously uttered a sound:
How is that possible?
He recognized that aura somewhat.
This is clearly the prelude to the Emperor Road.
But what time is it now?
The Emperor Road has appeared so early?
