CHAPTER 39
Yun Xi makes a move.
"Xuan 'er, leave quickly!"
Gu Tian Mo's expression changed. One Star Monarch Realm was three whole realms higher than him. The tables had turned in an instant.
"You made me pay such a high price to consume a forbidden pill. Both of you must die!" Gu Duanchen sneered. His body shot out like a cannonball. His terrifying speed tore through the air and created a few air ribbons as he charged towards Gu Tian Mo.
"World-shaking Imperial Fist!"
Gu Xuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly threw out a punch to help his father. However, Gu Duanchen's speed was too fast, and the giant fist only managed to break Gu Duanchen's afterimage.
Bang!
Gu Duanchen's claw landed on Gu Tian Mo's sword, and an unparalleled force surged forth. The steel longsword was actually crushed into a metal pancake under his immense strength!
"Congealing Flame!"
Gu Tian Mo's expression changed. He gathered all of the fire energy in his body in front of his chest and turned it into a stream of energy. The energy circulated and protected his chest.
Crack crack!
Under Gu Duanchen's claw, this Supreme Force shield was as fragile as a thin layer of ice. The powerful force slammed onto Gu Tian Mo's body, instantly causing the latter to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backward. After flying for a distance of a thousand feet, he fainted on the ground.
"You're still alive after being hit by my palm. However, you've lost all of your combat strength. You'll be at my mercy later!"
After defeating Gu Tian Mo, Gu Duanchen's gaze also landed on Gu Xuan as a cold smile appeared on his face. The reason why he had paid such a high price this time was because of Gu Xuan.
"A Venerable level expert!"
Gu Xuan's heart sank. Even when he unleashed the power of a Heaven level martial artist, he was only comparable to a Black Level Eight Star. The gap between him and a Paragon was still too great.
"Brat, let me kill you first, then I'll kill your useless father!"
Gu Duanchen's body trembled, and he shot straight towards Gu Xuan. Before he even made a move, Gu Xuan could already feel the momentum of the universe rolling towards him. It was as though he was stuck in a quagmire, and he could not even unleash 10% of his strength.
This was the strength of a Revered Rank powerhouse. Under the suppression of this aura, killing a Black Rank martial artist was as easy as slaughtering a chicken!
"Am I going to die?"
Gu Xuan's heart was filled with bitterness. In his previous life, he had fallen at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. He had fallen under the sneak attack of Gu Xingyun, who was also at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. This time, he was only facing a Venerable Realm warrior.
Gu Xuan had already given up on resisting. As a former expert, he also understood how big the gap between the Xuan Grade and the Honourable Grade was. Attacking was futile.
Puff!
Gu Duanchen's claw reached out and instantly arrived in front of Gu Xuan. However, at this moment, bone-white flames rose.
"You want to kill my master? Did you ask for my permission?"
The bone-white flames turned into the appearance of a young girl. Although this young girl was formed by flames, her appearance was exceptionally exquisite. However, she also seemed ethereal and couldn't be profaned. The entire sky was filled with a holy aura.
When Gu Duanchen's claw landed on the Icy Soul Freezing Flame, a few of his fingers were burned into ashes.
"Ah!"
Gu Duanchen screamed and quickly retreated. His eyes were filled with fear as he said, "Heavenly Fire, why do you have Heavenly Fire on you!"
Run!
Without any hesitation, Gu Duanchen turned around and fled.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy!" Yun Xi snorted. With a point of her finger, a flaming sword aura flew out from her body and shot toward Gu Duanchen. Ten steps in a flash!
Sizzle!
One of Gu Duanchen's palms was hit by the flaming sword aura. With a horrifying sound, it was burned into ashes.
"Ah! Damn it, why is it a top-grade Heavenly Fire? Why do you have such a flame in your body? "Gu Duanchen roared.
"Hmph!" Yun Xi snorted coldly. Another flaming Sword Qi shot out. This Sword Qi went straight for Gu Duanchen's chest and burned his heart. Soon after, his entire body was burned to ashes.
Seeing that Gu Duanchen was dead, Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. If Gu Duanchen spread the news that he had Heavenly Fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yun Xi, thank you very much." Gu Xuan looked at Yun Xi gratefully. Even if he was dead, Yun Xi could still find a place to slowly recover. However, the latter helped him without caring about the loss of her origin. This was a great favor.
"I … am so tired. Gu Xuan, I am going to sleep for a while …" Yun Xi's voice gradually became softer. As the last word fell, Yun Xi's flaming body started to twist and shrink. In the end, she became a wisp of flame again.
"You have lost too much of your origin. Are you going to sleep again?" Gu Xuan frowned and withdrew the Icy Soul Cold Flame, which had shrunk to the size of a longan, into his palm.
It was easy to recover from the loss of the origin of the flame, as it could be recovered with the Butian Pill. However, what Yun Xi had just lost was the origin of the flame spirit. To be precise, it was Yun Xi's soul origin.
This kind of soul origin was extremely difficult to recover without the help of treasures. A hundred years ago, Yun Xi self-destructed and injured her soul. After a hundred years, Yun Xi only woke up with Gu Xuan's rebirth.
"Looks like I have to find a way to get some treasures that can recover the soul."
Gu Xuan thought to himself. Withdrawing the flame back into his body, Gu Xuan went to check on Gu Tian Mo's injuries.
After all, Gu Tian Mo was already a Nine Star Profound Grade. His combat power was not inferior to the peak of the Profound Grade. Although it was an attack from a Venerable Grade master, it was unlikely to cause too much damage to him. He was only knocked unconscious.
Gu Xuan took out an Energy Recovery Pill and fed it into Gu Tian Mo's mouth. A pure flame energy flowed through Gu Tian Mo's body, and the latter slowly woke up.
"Xuan 'er, did you and I meet in the afterlife?" Gu Tian Mo frowned and asked.
Gu Xuan shook his head. "After Gu Duanchen knocked you out, he was suddenly slashed into ashes by a sword energy."
"Oh?" Gu Tian Mo hurriedly looked around. After confirming that he was still in the Gu family, he let out a sigh of relief. "That must be Elder Gui. If it was not a King Grade master, it would be impossible to kill Gu Duanchen, who had reached the Venerable Grade."
Gu Tian Mo did not doubt the truth of Gu Xuan's words at all. Although Gu Xuan had many tricks up his sleeves, a Venerable Grade master was too powerful. He did not think that Gu Xuan would have such tricks up his sleeves.
However, he did not know that Elder Gui had indeed observed this battle from the beginning. After discovering that it was an internal battle, he could not help even if he wanted to, so he simply left. He did not find out about Gu Duanchen at all.
Looking at the corpses around him, Gu Tian Mo sighed, "Although the two of us have won this time, the Gu Clan's strength has still suffered a great loss. Xuan 'er, help me guard this place. I need to recover first, in case the other clans take advantage of the situation and attack."
