As soon as Jiang Chen appeared, he became the center of attention. It was the kind of hateful one. His and Wu Ningzhu's public display of affection was a great stimulation to many young Ancient people. Of course, stimulation was one thing, but these people still had self-awareness. They knew that they had no qualification to compete with Jiang Chen.
But it didn't mean that Gu Liufeng didn't. Today was the family meeting. Gu Liufeng certainly wouldn't swallow his anger. However, Jiang Chen was after all an existence that killed Shi Han. If Gu Liufeng fought against Jiang Chen, his chances of winning wouldn't be great.
Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu turned a deaf ear to these discussions, as if they didn't hear anything.
* Dong Dong Dong … *
The sound of the war drum became more and more urgent. Suddenly, more than twenty tyrannical figures appeared on a high platform in front of them. After these people appeared, the whole scene became quiet. A faint majestic aura permeated the void. All the Ancient people were looking at the high platform with incomparable respect.
Any one of the figures on the platform was a high and mighty existence. The lowest cultivation grade of these people was a First Grade Great Saint. More than twenty Great Saints gathered together. Even if they didn't deliberately release their Qi, the invisible pressure caused by them would still make people feel uncomfortable.
As one of the eight major families, Ancient people naturally had more Great Saint experts. However, there was no need for all the Great Saint experts to be present in a family meeting.
On the platform, standing at the forefront was Gu Xuantian. He had a majestic look on his face. This was the supreme existence of the Ancient people. He was like a god in the hearts of all the Ancient people. However, at this moment, many people's eyes fell on the white-clothed woman next to Gu Xuantian.
"Look, that's Elder Goulan. She has been imprisoned by the patriarch for twelve years. I didn't expect her to appear today."
"Elder Goulan is so beautiful. It seems that the grudge between her and the patriarch has been resolved."
"That's great. I have long heard that Elder Goulan not only has the appearance of a fairy, but also has an extraordinary talent. Seeing her today, she really is extraordinary."
…
Goulan's appearance caused an uproar. Most of the young people present had never seen Goulan before. After Goulan left the Ancient people, she had been living in the Southern Continent and had never returned. Twelve years ago, when Gu Xuantian brought her back, he immediately threw her into prison. It was normal that many people had never seen Goulan before.
However, just because they hadn't seen her didn't mean that they hadn't heard of her. Ancient people all knew about Goulan, and even Goulan's deeds. It was just that the topic of Goulan was too sensitive, so no one dared to bring it up.
Now that Wu Ningzhu was here and Goulan was released, this matter had finally come to an end.
"Patriarch, everyone is almost here. We can start now."
An elder said.
"Alright, let's begin."
Gu Xuantian nodded.
Just as Gu Xuantian nodded, a silhouette turned into a ray of light and landed on a fighting platform. The newcomer seemed to be around 25 or 26 years old. He was extremely handsome and wore a purple robe. His whole body was filled with domineering aura. After he arrived, his eyes immediately locked on Jiang Chen.
"It's Gu Liufeng."
"He finally appeared. Let's see what he will do."
The newcomer was Gu Liufeng. His appearance instantly made the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.
Gu Liufeng looked at Jiang Chen and said loudly, "Jiang Chen, I know why you are here. But if you want to marry Ningzhu, let's see if you are capable enough. I, Gu Liufeng, challenge you now. As long as you can defeat me, I will withdraw from the competition."
"Liufeng."
Gu Xuantian knitted his brows.
"Patriarch, this is between us. Let us settle it ourselves."
Gu Liufeng cupped his fists towards Gu Xuantian.
Gu Liufeng was a very smart person. By saying this, he gave Gu Xuantian a way out. He and Jiang Chen would settle it themselves. If he lost, he would withdraw from the competition. Even if he married Wu Ningzhu to Jiang Chen, it would be considered as him withdrawing from the competition. It wouldn't affect Gu Xuantian's prestige. More importantly, they had to settle their own matters by themselves. Otherwise, they would be looked down upon by others.
Gu Xuantian nodded secretly. Sure enough, he didn't choose the wrong person. Gu Liufeng didn't disappoint him.
Swish!
Without saying a word, Jiang Chen jumped onto the stage and stood opposite of Gu Liufeng.
"Gu Liufeng, you are a real man. But you don't have to feel unconvinced. Don't think that my arrival will affect you and Wu Ningzhu. You probably heard that Wu Ningzhu and I are already engaged. She doesn't have you in her heart. Of course, I agree with your words. Only the strong is worthy of Sister Ning. Therefore, I accept your challenge. I have promised Sister Ning that I will defeat everyone for her."
Jiang Chen said faintly. Gu Liufeng's temperament was extraordinary and he didn't act bashfully. Even after knowing that Jiang Chen had killed Shi Han, he still dared to challenge Jiang Chen. Firstly, it was to give Gu Xuantian a way out of this embarrassing situation. If Gu Liufeng didn't appear today and fight with Jiang Chen alone, it would put Gu Xuantian in a very difficult position. After all, the marriage between Wu Ningzhu and Gu Liufeng was agreed by Gu Xuantian himself.
As the saying goes, the words of gold and jade carry enormous weight. Ancient people's patriarchs were much more noble than those emperors in the secular world.
"Jiang Chen, I know that you've killed Shi Han. But I've gained a lot of benefits from my trip out this time. My cultivation has improved a lot. I wanted to find Shi Han and Kong Yang for a fight. Since you've killed Shi Han, let me see how terrifying the person who killed Shi Han is." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Gu Liufeng's aura fluctuated. There was no trace of fear on his face. He was also a battle-hungry person.
"Unfortunately, you're still not my opponent."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"I know that with my current strength, it's impossible to kill Shi Han. But the battle between us is unavoidable and I will not retreat."
As soon as Gu Liufeng finished speaking, his Qi erupted like a volcano. He pressed his palm forward, sucking in the void. Then, his palm turned into a sky, pressing down on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn't seem to care about Gu Liufeng's Qi.
Bang!
Without any delay, Jiang Chen transformed into his dragon-form. Given his current cultivation base, he had to transform into his dragon-form to deal with a monstrous genius like Gu Liufeng. This point was very obvious when he was fighting against Shi Han.
* Hong Long *
The True Dragon Palm and the giant dragon claw collided with the dome of the sky created by Gu Liufeng, producing a deafening sound. Under everyone's shocked eyes, Gu Liufeng's attack was shattered. If not for the powerful seal that was cast on the battle stage, the entire stage would have been destroyed by this collision.
Gu Liufeng's body swayed. He retreated two steps before regaining his balance. His facial expression changed. Although he had expected this, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to be this powerful.
"What? He is so powerful? "
"This is too powerful. No wonder he could kill Shi Han. Big Brother Liu Feng is ranked fourth in the Sky Ranking. He is a half-step Great Saint. He is only one step away from the Great Saint realm. I didn't expect that he couldn't defeat a Seventh Grade Minor Saint. It's unbelievable that he was defeated in the first exchange."
"This is terrifying. This guy is truly a monster. Have you all noticed that Jiang Chen's combat strength has increased by a lot after his transformation? Big Brother Liu Feng had gained a lot of benefits from this expedition. He was able to compete with Shi Han and Kong Yang, but now it seems like he is no match for Jiang Chen."
… …..
No one wasn't shocked. Not only the young geniuses and their people, even Gu Xuantian, Goulan and the higher ups were shocked. Hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things. They didn't see how Jiang Chen killed Shi Han, but they knew how powerful Gu Liufeng was. Now, Gu Liufeng was defeated by Jiang Chen.
"Gu Liufeng, you are indeed very strong, but you are still a little bit weaker than Shi Han. However, I know that you won't be willing to admit defeat. If that's the case, I will let you accept your defeat wholeheartedly."
The bones in Jiang Chen's body produced cracking sounds. Every part of his body was filled with boundless energy. Wild roars could be heard continuously. In an instant, numerous seals condensed around Jiang Chen's body, turning into powerful true dragons. Each of the dragons was vivid and lifelike, emitting five-colored brilliance, as if they were true dragons that had descended to the mortal world.
Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time. He immediately used the Five Elements Combat Dragon Seal. Five different seals were cast at the same time. Fifteen dragons with different attributes formed a huge circle and directly surrounded Gu Liufeng.
Gu Liufeng was naturally powerful, but compared to Shi Han, there was still a gap. It took him a lot of effort to kill Shi Han, but to defeat Gu Liufeng, this move was enough. After all, he only wanted to defeat Gu Liufeng, not to kill him.
"Big brother, Jiang Chen's combat skill is very powerful. Have you noticed that this move of his has directly integrated the five elements? It's really scary."
"That's right. The five elements are mutually restraining each other. Water and fire are incompatible with each other, but this combat skill of Jiang Chen is able to integrate the five elements to such an extent. It's really rare. I never thought that there would be such an incredible combat skill in this world."
Goulan and Gu Xuantian were shocked. Even with their cultivation and knowledge, they had never seen such a combat skill before.
"This kid is scary. His future achievement is limitless."
"He's too powerful. I'm a First Grade Great Saint now, but I feel that even if I face this move of his, I will still die."
"It seems like Liufeng is no match for him. The fact that he could kill Shi Han isn't a coincidence. Such strength is really scary."
… …..
No one wasn't amazed. They could also see that Jiang Chen didn't want to play around with Gu Liufeng. Defeating Gu Liufeng with his most powerful move was also a form of respect to Gu Liufeng.
On the battlefield, Gu Liufeng had exerted all his strength, but he still couldn't stop Jiang Chen's Five Elemental Combat Dragon Seal. When all the violent combat waves disappeared, Gu Liufeng's body was revealed. The current Gu Liufeng looked a little embarrassed. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His Qi was completely scattered. It could be seen that he had suffered a lot in the battle just now.
"I've lost."
Gu Liufeng revealed a wry smile. Although he still had the strength to fight, the collision just now had made him very clear that it was meaningless to continue the battle. He was no match for Jiang Chen. In other words, if this was a life and death battle, Jiang Chen could also kill him if he could kill Shi Han.
Jiang Chen withdrew his dragon form and jumped down from the battle platform. He came to the side of Wu Ningzhu. The current Wu Ningzhu's face was filled with happiness. She still remembered what she said to Jiang Chen, asking Jiang Chen to defeat everyone for her. And it seemed like Jiang Chen had never been defeated before.
"Patriarch, Liufeng wholeheartedly accepts his defeat today. Brother Jiang is really a rare genius that only appears once in ten thousand years. Ningzhu marrying him is not a disgrace to our Ancient people."
Gu Liufeng cupped his fist and said to Gu Xuantian. In fact, he already knew the relationship between Wu Ningzhu and Jiang Chen, but there was still a knot in his heart. Today, after being defeated by Jiang Chen, the knot in his heart was finally untied. He and Gu Xuantian were both emotional people. A defeat was a defeat, there was no need to be pretentious. Similarly, Jiang Chen also won the respect of Gu Liufeng with his own strength.
At this time, Gu Mu stood out from the crowd. He took out Jiang Chen's super betrothal gifts and handed them to Gu Xuantian and Goulan.
"Patriarch, Elder Goulan, this is Jiang Chen's betrothal gifts. 1.5 billion True Meta Stones, three Nine Sun Les Rond Pill, and ten bottles of Nine Sun Holy Water."
Gu Mu was very good at choosing the right time. After Gu Liufeng admitted defeat, he loudly read out these treasures. Suddenly, an uproar arose among the Ancient people. It was a completely different feeling to see these treasures with their own eyes. Many people looked at Jiang Chen with blazing eyes. This guy was really rich.
"Xiao Lan, what do you think?"
Gu Xuantian looked at Goulan.
"Very good."
Goulan was very satisfied with this son-in-law. "Good.
Jiang Chen, you have come to the Ancient people to propose marriage. You have gone through many trials and come with great sincerity. With your talent, it is a blessing for the Ancient people to be the son-in-law of the Ancient people. In the name of the Patriarch of the Ancient people, I betroth Wu Ningzhu to you. "
Gu Xuantian put away the betrothal gifts and said. This matter had finally come to an end. As for Gu Liufeng, he had been defeated by Jiang Chen. Gu Xuantian didn't worry that Gu Liufeng would be unhappy. If the person he liked couldn't even withstand a little setback, then it could only mean that Gu Xuantian had misjudged him.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
Jiang Chen and Wu Ningzhu said at the same time. Jiang Chen's expression was good, but Wu Ningzhu's face was full of happiness.
