To kill with a wave of the hand
"Do you mean that you can kill me at will?" Mo Ran sneered.
Han Xinyan looked at Gu Xuan and said in a serious tone, "Gu Xuan, both of us have the strength of a One Star Venerable. If we join forces, we might be able to defeat him!"
"I don't need to team up with you. I alone am enough." Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
Han Xinyan was so angry that her face had turned slightly green. After reaching the Venerable Rank, it would be difficult to challenge those one star above her. Originally, if the two of them worked together, they would still be able to contend with Mo Ran. However, if Gu Xuan acted rashly, they would not be able to cooperate with her. In that case, they would not be able to fight back.
"Arrogant! Arrogant! " At this moment, Bai Ling couldn't help but curse Gu Xuan. Although she hated Gu Xuan before, Gu Xuan and Han Xinyan had become her last straw of hope.
She even started to resent Gu Xuan in her heart. She hated Gu Xuan for not choosing to separate the two of them from Mo Ran, but she had completely forgotten what kind of face she had at that time.
"Gu Xuan, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" Mo Ran's Two Star Zun Level Flame Energy started to circulate crazily. The terrifying force directly blew away the surrounding mountain rocks.
Gu Xuan was a one-star Venerable Rank, and so was Han Xinyan. If the two of them worked together, they would bring him a lot of trouble.
However, now that Gu Xuan was "seeking death" and wanted to attack him alone, he could use this opportunity to kill Gu Xuan. Then, Han Xinyan would be no threat to him.
"Sword Wind Meteorite!"
With a low cry, Mo Ran waved his longsword. The flame energy all over his body gathered on the longsword and shot out explosively under Mo Ran's furious cry!
This Sword Qi was condensed to the extreme, almost turning into a ray of light that could cut through gold and iron!
Puff!
However, when the Sword Qi was three feet away from Gu Xuan, it suddenly exploded and disappeared.
In front of Gu Xuan, there was already a ball of bone-white flame burning fiercely. It was incomparably enchanting, like a bone-white flower.
"What's going on? Did you refine the earth fire? Impossible. You're only at the Black Rank. How can you refine the Earth Fire? "Mo Ran's expression changed drastically.
Whether it was Human Fire or Beast Fire, they could not materialize. They could only enhance one's strength, but could not be used to attack. Since Gu Xuan's flame could protect one's body, it must be either Earth Fire or Heaven Fire.
But Gu Xuan was merely a Mystic Rank. How could he possibly possess Earth Fire?
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance to answer that question." Gu Xuan smiled faintly and said to Yun Xi telepathically, "Yun Xi, kill him."
"Okay, I've long found this pervert an eyesore!" Yun Xi responded and controlled her body to shoot toward Mo Ran.
"No!" Mo Ran's expression changed drastically. He took a step forward and shot out in an attempt to escape.
"Do you think you can escape?" Gu Xuan sneered. The Ice Soul Cold Flame had already attacked Mo Ran's back.
"Pu!"
As soon as the Icy Soul Freezing Flame touched Mo Ran's body, a terrifyingly high temperature exploded from the flame. Mo Ran's body melted into nothingness under this high temperature. The residue that should have been left behind was now burned into gas.
"Zi!" "Zi!"
The Startling Cloud Sword on Mo Ran's back also melted like a candle when it was hit by the flame. The molten iron dripped onto the sand, creating a cloud of smoke.
Gu Xuan withdrew the Icy Soul Freezing Flame into his body and turned to look at the two of them.
Han Xinyan was already dumbfounded. As for Bai Ling, she was so frightened by the terrifying scene that she sat on the ground. Her face was pale. She, who had always been arrogant, was now afraid of Gu Xuan.
"I said that I alone am enough to deal with him."
Gu Xuan smiled. With Yun Xi's current strength, she could already fight with a Zong Realm expert. Killing a Venerable Rank expert would be a piece of cake for her.
Only then did Han Xinyan come back to her senses. However, the shock on her face did not diminish. Gu Xuan's methods were too terrifying. The origin flame could melt gold and iron. Even a Venerable Rank expert was easily defeated in one move.
What kind of concept was this?
The strength of a Venerable Rank expert was that it was very difficult to kill him in one move.
Those who could step into the Venerable Rank basically had no flaws in any aspect. Therefore, unless there was a difference of two or three stars, it was very difficult for a Venerable Rank expert to kill his opponent in one move.
However, Gu Xuan controlled the flame. With just a thought, he burned Mo Ran into nothingness.
"So junior brother Gu has been hiding his strength all this time. No wonder he's so fearless." Han Xinyan smiled bitterly. Previously, she had thought that Gu Xuan was arrogant and even a little ignorant. Only now did she realize that Gu Xuan was completely fearless. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was toying with Mo Ran.
"It can't be considered hiding my strength. I just borrowed some external power," Gu Xuan said with a smile.
Han Xinyan shook her head and smiled bitterly. Even if he borrowed some external power, it was not his true strength. Such a powerful external power was not something an ordinary person could possess. It was even more terrifying than having such strength himself.
The number of Venerable Rank experts on the continent was as vast as the sea. However, it was extremely rare for a Xuan Realm expert to be able to casually kill a Venerable Rank expert.
Bai Ling also walked out of her shock. Looking at Gu Xuan, her eyes were filled with intense fear. Gu Xuan was really too terrifying. Senior brother Mo, who was like a god in her heart, was actually so weak in the hands of Gu Xuan. He could kill him with just a thought.
Previously, she had actually looked for trouble with Gu Xuan. Again and again, she used Mo Ran to attack Gu Xuan. Looking at it now, how laughable was that?
"If I had really angered Gu Xuan at that time …" A thought rose in Bai Ling's mind. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
So it turned out that Gu Xuan did not argue with her. It was not because he was incompetent, but because Gu Xuan could not be bothered to bicker with a nobody like her …
"Senior sister Han, I've asked you many questions about the Ying Tian Sect. This time, I saved your life, so we're even. I'll send you to the Ying Tian Sect, and then we'll part ways." Gu Xuan looked at Han Xinyan and said with a smile.
"Eh, junior brother Gu is leaving?" Han Xinyan's eyes revealed a trace of reluctance. Young girls always worshipped the strong. Gu Xuan had killed Mo Ran with a smile. That fierce temperament had already been imprinted in Han Xinyan's soul, causing her to have a trace of strange feelings.
"That's right. I still have a mission to complete." Gu Xuan nodded.
"Alright." Han Xinyan nodded. With a tap of her foot, she flew out.
Without Mo Ran's help, she would not be able to deal with the powerful Third Grade Flame Beasts. Moreover, she had to report Mo Ran's death to the sect. After all, it was the death of a Two Star Honorable disciple. It was not a small matter. She had to make up some excuses.
The Ying Tian Sect was not far away. The three of them quickly arrived in front of the Ying Tian Sect.
The Ying Tian Sect was a colossus that ruled over several empires. Naturally, the sect's prestige was not small. Rows upon rows of magnificent pavilions, one could not see the end of them. In the sky, various kinds of exotic beasts were flying and playing. At the center, there was a seven-story pagoda.
Gu Xuan's gaze also fell on the pagoda.
Han Xinyan smiled and said to Gu Xuan, "This pagoda is where the sect leader secludes himself. If junior brother Gu is lucky enough to be summoned by the sect leader in the future, you will have to enter the pagoda."
"That day will come." Gu Xuan smiled and looked at the highest level of the pagoda. When he imagined that his second disciple, who was like his own flesh and blood, was bitterly studying the method to break through, Gu Xuan felt a little helpless.
Now that the two of them were as different as heaven and earth, he could no longer meet Mo Jingyun whenever he wanted to.
"Junior brother Gu." Han Xinyan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Fortunately, I remembered one thing in time. If you want to join the Ying Tian Sect, other than the invitation of the sect's elders, there is another way."
"Oh?" A trace of joy appeared in Gu Xuan's eyes.
"In every academy established by the Ying Tian Sect, there is a Heaven Reaching Pagoda. According to the sect's rules, as long as you can successfully break through the fifth level, you can directly choose to join the Ying Tian Sect," Han Xinyan said.
"Heaven Reaching Pagoda? Since you can join the Ying Tian Sect after passing it, why do I feel like no one has ever mentioned it before? There should be many people who want to join the Ying Tian Sect, right? "Gu Xuan asked with some doubt.
"It's normal that senior brother Gu doesn't know about it. In fact, many teachers in the academy might not even know about the existence of this Heaven Reaching Pagoda, because the test of this Heaven Reaching Pagoda is really too difficult. Ordinary geniuses can't even pass the first level, let alone the fifth. Not only has no one succeeded, but it also has no use for training. So, over time, it was abandoned by the other academies."
Han Xinyan smiled and said, "If the sect hadn't recruited a genius from the Great Qian Dynasty who passed the Heaven Reaching Pagoda last year, I wouldn't have known about this either."
"What's the cultivation level of that genius?" Gu Xuan's gaze turned serious.
"That genius is only seventeen years old, and he's a Six Stars Venerable." Han Xinyan said with some emotion, "Those who can pass the Heaven Reaching Pagoda are all geniuses that the sect would fight over. Basically, those who are invited by the sect are only at the second or third level of the Heaven Reaching Pagoda. Junior brother Gu has the battle prowess of a Venerable at such a young age, so there should be a trace of hope for him. After all, the Heaven Reaching Pagoda mainly tests one's potential."
"A trace of hope, huh?" Gu Xuan smiled. That's right. That seventeen-year-old Six Stars Venerable was able to pass the Heaven Reaching Pagoda. He himself was only sixteen years old, and he was only Eight Stars Venerable. The difference was really too big.
However, he had only been reborn for a little more than a year, and he had already cultivated to Eight Stars Venerable. If he was given another year, he would only be higher than that person, not lower. Moreover, this Heaven Reaching Pagoda was a test of one's potential. It was probably related to one's age and battle prowess. To him, it was a great advantage.
"When I return to the academy, I'll ask to try the Heaven Reaching Pagoda."
