Gu Bikong approached treading on air, a flying sword swirling around him as if a Sword Immortal had descended into the world.
“A Nascent Soul early stage, and you could break this old man’s technique?” The elder furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He was, after all, at the Divinity Transformation mid-stage, a whole Major realm and a Minor realm above Gu Bikong. Yet his attack had been broken by a single sword strike from the latter?
Gu Bikong landed beside Jiang Fan, ignoring the astounded elder. He looked at Jiang Fan, chuckled, and said, “Didn’t I tell you to wait until you reached the Nascent Soul Stage before seeking out Head Constable Chen? It was just a little left, you didn’t believe me. Look, you were almost done for, weren’t you?”
“Aren’t you going to thank your senior brother?”
Facing the jovially smiling Gu Bikong, Jiang Fan rolled his eyes. “Who said I was going to be done for? Move aside, watch me take care of this old fool!”
“How dare you!”
The elder raged, his True Yuan enveloping his body as he charged at the two like a cannonball.
Gu Bikong crossed his arms over his chest, “Then go ahead!”
Jiang Fan clenched his fists, his fighting spirit surging, advancing rather than retreating to meet the elder, his fists pounding fiercely!
Bang!
The elder and Jiang Fan clashed with one move. A powerful shockwave radiated from the center of the two, sweeping away the earth and stones nearby!
Jiang Fan was shaken back repeatedly, while the elder was sent flying, coughing up fresh blood.
Jiang Fan managed to stabilize his stance first, forcibly suppressing the surging blood within him, and declared loudly, “Why do you think I left the city? I simply couldn’t unleash my full strength within the city limits!”
The elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, unable to conceal his shock, and said through gritted teeth, “Just who are you two?”
A Golden Core Complete stage and a Nascent Soul early stage, and both stronger than him?
What’s going on with the Kunlun Realm?
How could such monstrous talents appear?
And there were two of them!
“We are simply displeased with scoundrels like you, that’s all,” Gu Bikong said with an unfathomable look.
The elder clenched his teeth, “No matter who you are, killing the Young Alliance Master means you’ve provoked the entire South Mysterious Territory. The Territory Lord is the strongest in the South Mysterious Territory, his cultivation reaches the heavens and pierces through the earth. You had better think this through!”
Gu Bikong didn’t hide the scorn in his eyes, “The Territory Lord is a king among immortals; how could such a worthless Nascent Soul stage scoundrel alarm him? Even if the Territory Lord knew, he’d likely say my junior brother did well!”
Jiang Fan nodded in agreement, “The South Mysterious Alliance must have been aware of what Head Constable Chen has done, yet they turned a blind eye. If the Territory Lord gets wind of this, it’s still uncertain who will be unlucky!” The elder’s face changed. They were right!
If that’s the case, then these two must be killed, and those City Guards as well, to ensure nothing gets out!
With that thought, the elder covertly pulled out a Messaging Jade Talisman.
As someone in the Divinity Transformation Stage, not being able to handle two juniors was embarrassing enough to not be spread around, but the gravity of the situation meant that face was no longer important.
So long as he could hold the two off for a moment, waiting for the powerhouses from the South Mysterious Alliance to arrive, then everything would be settled!
“Junior brother, he’s calling for reinforcements. Aren’t you going to hurry up and finish him off?” Gu Bikong urged.
Jiang Fan advanced with large, confident strides, “No worries, the bigger the commotion, the better. Only a big scene can shake the Inner City!”
Shake the Inner City?
The elder’s hands, hidden behind him, trembled. Yes, if they stirred up the Inner City, it would likely be the South Mysterious Alliance that would end up unlucky!
But then again, if he didn’t kill these two and they went on a rampage in the Inner City, when the Inner City commenced an investigation, that would be truly unfortunate.
So, no matter what, he had to kill these two!
With that thought, the elder’s expression became resolute and he once again transmitted a message into the Jade Slip, this time directly pleading for a Tribulation Crossing expert to come!
Only by killing these two in an instant could we prevent them from having any chance to stir up trouble!
But suddenly, the elder realized that neither of his two attempts to send a message had gone through!
Within a ten-mile radius, it seemed as if someone had concealed the area, causing the Messaging Jade Slip to fail.
“Damn it, these two brats have backup!” The elder grew somewhat panicked. Alone, he had no chance against them, and now they had support; how was he supposed to deal with this?
Without time to think further, Jiang Fan had already darted close by, his fists surging with robust True Yuan and unleashing two whip-like attacks, like twin dragons roaring as they came from the left and the right.
The elder, with his body shielded by True Yuan, took out a Spirit Weapon War Blade with a flip of his hand. Gripping it with both hands, he swung it in a wide arc to meet the twin forces of the punch!
The blade’s radiance was brilliant, clashing with the punch’s strength, both annihilating each other, followed by a devastating impact spreading wildly around them.
An equal match!
The elder had gone all out and even used a Spiritual Artifact, but the result was a stalemate, which made his expression even uglier.
Was his Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation all for naught?
Why was it so difficult to deal with someone at the Complete Golden Core Stage?
“Junior brother, since you can match him equally, why don’t I take over? I’m exerting a lot of effort to maintain the Seal of Heaven!”
At this moment, Gu Biyue’s voice sounded.
She was concealing the ten-mile radius with the Seal of Heaven, which was quite strenuous!
“Senior sister, with your late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivation, how could you find it difficult?” Jiang Fan spared a reply in the midst of the battle before continuing his attack on the elder.
This comment gave the elder a bit of relief. He had thought there was a formidable figure hidden in the shadows; turns out, it was just someone at the Nascent Soul Stage.
If that were the case, even if he couldn’t defeat them, he was sure he could escape. It would only cost him some injuries at most.
“Why do I detect a hint of envy there? If you and senior brother had cultivated diligently, you’d both be at the Divinity Transformation Stage by now. It’s only because you two are always fighting,” Gu Biyue said laughingly.
Her talent for cultivation couldn’t catch up with the two men even if she were to chase after them, but during the sixty-plus years in the Immortal Palace, she had always been diligent in her practice.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fan and Gu Bikong would spar every few days, appearing like complete battle maniacs in Gu Biyue’s eyes.
“Haha, being at the Divinity Transformation Stage is nothing special. Just look at me; I’m doing even better at the Complete Golden Core Stage. So you see, the realm isn’t everything!” Jiang Fan laughed heartily.
That was indeed the case. After a few exchanges, the elder had already started falling behind, taking hits more frequently as he parried.
“You bastards, stuffing your arrogance; don’t involve this old man in it!”
The elder erupted with rage, and his aura suddenly soared!
“He’s burning his True Yuan, junior brother, be careful!” Gu Bikong shouted.
“It doesn’t matter; I can hold on for a while. Doing this will only make him die faster!” Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Gu Bikong was about to say something when he noticed that the elder had suddenly turned into a streak of light, rushing towards the city.
His speed was astonishing.
Jiang Fan’s punch missed its mark, and he stared, dumbfounded, at the fleeing elder. “Senior brother, you misled me. That old man pretended to burn True Yuan to boost his fighting power, but in reality, he used a blood escape technique by burning his vitality!”
“Why blame me? Can’t you make your own judgments? This just shows that your judgment skills need improvement and that you are easily influenced,” Gu Bikong retorted with a cough.
Jiang Fan’s aura gradually steadied, and with a grin, he replied, “Senior brother speaks such reasonable words; I have nothing to say in return!”
Gu Biyue appeared, “After all, he’s at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and you guys forced him to burn both his True Yuan and vitality; he’s already quite pitiful. But with his escape, we might be in trouble now.”
A corner of Gu Bikong’s mouth curled up, “Maybe not necessarily so!”
