To Chu Xiyue’s surprise, she found herself in a dangerous crisis because of a spontaneous decision.
She had heard that Gu Yang, who had just made it to the seventh rank on the Hidden Dragon List, was in Pingjun City. On a whim, she decided to pay this bravo a visit, who had directly dropped into the seventh position after his first appearance on the list.
Even when she and Wu Xinyun first made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, they were barely in the top ten.
Wu Xingyun climbed up gradually.
And she fought her way up.
It was unheard of for someone like Gu Yang to debut directly in seventh place prior to this event.
Earlier, while she was in the carriage, she sensed the aura of a Second-Grade expert. Out of curiosity, she left her carriage to check it out.
But who would have thought that the moment she stepped into the courtyard, she would be targeted with Blade Intent.
The Blade Intent was hidden and dormant, yet it brought her unprecedented pressure.
Her intuition told her that this Blade Intent was incredibly dangerous. What astonished her even more was that the source of this Blade Intent was the young man.
If her guess was correct, this man must be the master of this place, Gu Yang.
Wasn’t he a Third Rank?
So why does his Blade Intent seem more terrifying than a First-Rank master?
Though surprised, Chu Xiyue was extremely experienced in real combat and maintained her composure. She stood in place, pushing her True Essence to its limit, playing defensively in anticipation of a sudden thunderous strike.
And Wu Xingyun behind her, was responded in the same way.
Just like that, due to their arrival, the tense situation, which was on the verge of sparking off, had fallen into a bizarre balance.
“What a pity!”
Gu Yang had his hand on the hilt of his sword, suppressing the impulse to draw it, waiting for the perfect moment until Xu Ruomei appeared and walked towards him.
With a sigh in his heart, no longer hesitating, he drew his sword.
The Blade Intent, which had been nurtured for twenty-eight years, finally bloomed between heaven and earth.
In an instant, it seemed as though the weather changed.
The terrifying Blade Intent swallowed up all the light. All the spectators were plunged into darkness, and all they could see was a streak of sword light.
“Yu’er, you have such a talent. It seems that the prosperity of the MO Family will depend on you…”
“Yu’er, the MO Family’s ancestral cultivation skill can only reach the Fourth
Rank at most…”
“Yu’er, are you really going to join the Lin Family? Isn’t that the same as marrying into the family? If you dare to go, I won’t consider you as my son!”
“Yu’er… If you hadn’t been born into the MO Family… You wouldn’t have suffered so much…..
MO Yu’s consciousness became fragmented, and the last scene before his death, where his father holding his hand and speaking with bloodshot tears, was froze.
Immediately after, he sank into eternal darkness.
Until his death, he didn’t have the chance to draw his sword.
Chu Xiyue and Wu Xingyun, who were a little bit farther away, sprayed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Besides them, everyone else in the arena also fell.
The only ones who managed to stay conscious were the Sword Slave who had come to rescue Xu Ruomei, and Wudong and Cao Xu, who watched the war from afar.
The rest of them all fainted.
The power of this single slash was beyond belief.
It killed a Second-Grade on the spot, seriously injured two more Second-Grades, and caused varying degrees of injury to the warriors around them.
After making the slash, Gu Yang felt as if he had been drained of all his strength.
The slash was exhaustive to him, nearly draining him of his spirit and energy to the point he could barely hold onto his sword.
At this moment, he couldn’t even walk up and deliver a finishing blow.
His eyes swept over the Sword Slave.
The Sword Slave’s eyelids twitched, bowing to Gu Yang and turning to leave.
The earth-shattering slash earned him this respect.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to handle that slash, and if he had to face it head-on, he would undoubtedly die.
The way of martial arts only respects strength.
Gu Yang’s one slash won him their respect.
As for the other two people who remained conscious, they were both dumbfounded.
The power of this slash well surpassed the limits of their imagination.
A Third-Rank managed to defeat three Second-Ranks with one slash!
This spectacle was too shocking. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have never believed it.
Since ancient times, those who managed to overcome ranks and defeat higher-ranking opponents were considered legendary.
The last one to achieve such a feat was Qin Wu, four hundred years ago, who was invincible and established one of the top ten clans in the world with his own power.
Now, Gu Yang, facing three opponents alone, slashed one Second-Grade and severely wounded two others. This was almost mythical.
At this moment, Wuldong and Cao Xu looked at Gu Yang, who was standing in the courtyard, and thought: Is Great Zhou about to witness the rise of a second Qin wu?
Suddenly, a ghost-like figure appeared. It was the old woman that had been accompanying Xue E. She had been startled by the disturbance and had rushed over.
Seeing the scene before her, she was somewhat stunned. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of something and she stared at MO Yu’s corpse in shock, as a tidal wave of emotions welled up within her. It was MO Yu of the Lin Family!
Had he died?
Who killed him?
The shock in the old woman’s heart was indescribable.
Some years ago, MO Yu had come to Pingjun City and visited the Fang Family.
He sparred with her and another Second-rank, ultimately defeating them both.
That humiliation made Fang Family dare not to defy the Lin Family.
The Lin Family had only sent one follower, yet he was strong enough to crush Fang Family. How could they dare to say no?
Now, this formidable follower of the Lin Family was dead.
Who was capable of killing him?
The old woman’s gaze fell on the only standing figure in the courtyard, Gu Yang, and a ridiculous idea came up in her mind – could he have been the one to do it?
When Gu Yang saw the old woman appear, his heart tightened. In his current state, he was at his worst and had no capacity to defend himself.
Indeed, he hadn’t anticipated the enormous consumption from that slash, and the slow recovery.
Without hesitation, he opened the system and a prompt appeared in front of him: “Simulation completed, you can keep one of the following options.”
“First, Martial Arts Realm at the age of forty.” “Second, Martial Arts experience at the age of forty.”
“Third, Life Wisdom at the age of forty.”
Before the battle, Gu Yang had prepared and completed a simulation, yet he held onto the reward and didn’t claim it right away, waiting for this moment.
“I choose the first”
Immediately, a surging wave of True Essence emerged within him, restoring his depleted energy back to peak condition in a flash.
“It really works!”
Gu Yang was certain.
He had suspected that once the reward was claimed, it would overwrite his current condition. No matter how much his strength was depleted, he could recover instantly to his prime.
Now, he confirmed that this method worked.
It could definitely be used as a trump card.
The first thing Gu Yang did after recovery was to walk towards the two severely injured Second -Ranks and deliver a blow to eliminate potential threats.
