Inside the quiet room.
The Seventh Prince, who was about to leave, saw the scene outside and suddenly became interested again.
"Chief Steward Li."
"Huh?"
"It seems there’s more excitement."
"..."
Seeing Gu Han’s figure, Chief Steward Li’s face turned as black as a pot, and he felt even more awkward.
Enemies truly meet on a narrow road!
Why did he meet him again!
"Chief Steward Li?"
Seeing his unusual expression, the Seventh Prince asked curiously, "What, you know him too?"
"En? Your Highness also..."
"I saw him once from afar."
"Previously..."
Recalling Gu Han’s attitude earlier, Chief Steward Li, with a dark face, recounted what happened in the Barren Forest.
...
"Bastard!"
Outside.
Gu Chang roared in anger.
"You, a parricide, are deeply sinful, and yet you dare to spout such nonsense here!"
"Tsk tsk, he really knows how to pin a label!"
"Exactly, he doesn’t even let people finish their sentences, does he really think this Tianwu City is surnamed Gu?"
To the side.
The Patriarchs of the Zhang and Wang Families once again mocked him.
"City Lord!"
Gu Chang ignored the two of them.
"This child is the shame of my Gu Family, and also the shame of my Tianwu City; it’s best to quickly apprehend him!"
He cursed endlessly in his heart.
What was Gu Cheng doing!
Surrounded and attacked by six Tong Qiao Realm cultivators, he still managed to escape!
"Gu Han."
Liu Yuan’s expression was somewhat gloomy.
"Step down!"
"I want fairness!" Gu Han looked directly into his eyes.
"You, dare to say that again?" Liu Yuan’s eyes narrowed.
In the past, he had some admiration for Gu Han, and even considered marrying Liu Ying to Gu Han, but later, Gu Han bore the infamous reputation of parricide, and his cultivation was completely crippled, so he naturally no longer cared about Gu Han.
Moreover.
Now the Seventh Prince was in Tianwu City.
He had Liu Ying try every means to flatter and please him, so he naturally looked down on Gu Han even more.
"I want fairness."
Gu Han took a deep breath.
"I hope the City Lord can give me a chance!"
"How dare you!"
Liu Yuan angrily rebuked, "Someone, take him..."
Mid-sentence.
His expression suddenly changed.
"Good."
He sat down again, but his attitude had undergone a huge change.
"I will give you this chance!"
"City Lord!"
Gu Chang was a bit anxious.
"You..."
"No need to say more, just watch!"
...
Inside the quiet room.
"Your Highness."
Chief Steward Li looked unwilling.
"This brat has a terrible temper, what’s there to see!"
Just now, it was the Seventh Prince who had him transmit a message to Liu Yuan, asking for the competition to continue.
"You are biased."
The Seventh Prince glanced at him, smiling ambiguously.
"No matter what, that Red Flame Snake’s Yao Beast core was given by him, just for that, as a return favor, I naturally have to give him a chance."
"..."
Chief Steward Li’s face darkened again.
That was exchanged for a Medicinal Pill personally refined by the Ghost Doctor, that kid made a huge profit, didn’t he!
...
"Gu Yang."
Seeing Liu Yuan agree, Gu Han looked at Gu Yang again.
"Fight me."
"You, dare you?"
At this moment, his entire body was already soaked in blood, not to mention several clear, hideous wounds on his body, and although he looked utterly miserable, in terms of Aura, he directly suppressed Gu Yang!
It was also at this moment.
A Gu Family member who had rushed over ran to Gu Chang’s side and whispered a few words.
Crack!
A murderous intent flashed in Gu Chang’s eyes, and he directly crushed the hard armrest of the chair!
"Little beast, you're seeking death!"
On the arena.
Gu Yang was already in a dilemma.
"Good!"
He glanced at Gu Han.
"Today, I will clean up the Family for the Gu Family and completely eliminate you, this scourge!"
If Gu Han were perfectly fine.
He naturally wouldn’t dare to agree easily.
But looking at Gu Han’s current appearance, he presumed his cultivation and Divine Ability had greatly improved, and he naturally gained a confidence he never had before.
"Today."
Gu Han handed the memorial tablet to A Sha and slowly walked onto the arena.
"I shall avenge my foster father!"
Revenge?
Everyone was stunned to hear that.
"Did he just say he’s avenging the Gu Family Patriarch?"
"It seems so."
"Wasn’t the Gu Family Patriarch killed by him? What kind of revenge is he talking about?"
"Hard to say, we’ll know if we watch."
"..."
Amidst the discussions, their eyes were fixed on the arena, fearing they might miss something.
Whoosh!
On the arena.
Gu Yang swung his spear, and his cultivation was instantly pushed to its Peak!
A faint red glow, like flowing water, spread downwards, enveloping his entire body, and even his spear!
"This is... the Gu Family’s Blazing Flame Burning Art?"
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
"Young Lord Gu Yang’s cultivation is also quite high!"
"Hehe."
A Gu Family member smiled proudly.
"My Young Lord is exceptionally talented, his cultivation aside, just this Blazing Flame Burning Art, he has cultivated it to the Realm of perfect integration of form and spirit! He is a rare great talent in my Gu Family! Dealing with Gu Han is simply effortless, isn’t it?"
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a Loose Cultivator who had followed along in the crowd burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!"
"I’m laughing at your Young Lord’s overestimation of his own abilities, I’m afraid he’ll be cut down by Gu Han in a moment!"
"Nonsense! The spear in my Young Lord’s hand is a top-grade Spiritual Artifact! With that broken sword in Gu Han’s hand, and him being injured, he absolutely cannot be my Young Lord’s opponent!"
"Hehe."
The Loose Cultivator ignored him.
"Your eyes aren’t blind, see for yourself!"
These Loose Cultivators.
They had all witnessed Gu Han’s power, and naturally understood how much destructive power that broken sword in Gu Han’s hand possessed.
"Gu Han!"
On the arena.
Gu Yang stared intently at Gu Han.
"Today, I will take your life to justify myself!"
Defeating Gu Han head-on.
That was naturally a long-cherished wish buried deep in his heart.
Whoosh!
As he spoke.
He launched his attack first!
Like an arrow released from a bowstring, his figure swayed, the spear body trembled, and the chilling spear tip pointed directly at Gu Han’s glabella!
Gu Han remained motionless.
"Die!"
Gu Yang’s speed increased by another three points, and the red glow on his body grew brighter and brighter!
Just as the spear was still half a foot away from Gu Han.
Gu Han moved!
Swish!
He casually swung his long sword, a light slash!
Clang!
A crisp sound!
The arena instantly fell silent!
On the arena.
Gu Yang’s body remained motionless, the blade of Gu Han’s long sword was only half an inch away from his forehead, as for the top-grade Spiritual Artifact spear in his hand, it was now broken into two pieces, its light dim, rendered useless!
"Tsk tsk."
The Loose Cultivator mocked endlessly.
"Perfect integration of form and spirit? Top-grade Spiritual Artifact? Hehe!"
"No..."
That Gu Family member’s face was pale.
"Impossible, how could Young Lord lose!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Gu Yang, who was just full of vigor a moment ago, the undisputed strongest among the younger generation in Tianwu City, actually... couldn’t even block one sword strike from Gu Han?
"Gu Yang!"
In the distance.
Gu Chang instantly stood up!
"This..."
Gu Yang’s face was ashen, filled with disbelief.
"You were clearly injured, and my cultivation clearly improved, I couldn’t possibly lose!"
Gu Han ignored him.
He pressed the long sword down by three points.
In an instant.
A stream of fresh blood flowed from Gu Yang’s forehead.
Helplessly.
He had to lower his body.
The long sword continued to press down, and Gu Yang’s body also sank lower and lower.
Hiss!
Everyone suddenly understood Gu Han’s intention.
He...
He wanted Gu Yang to kneel!
"Little beast!"
Gu Chang’s face was distorted with rage.
"Let him go! Otherwise, this old man will tear you to pieces!"
"Speak."
Gu Han remained unmoved.
"How did you harm my foster father?"
As he spoke.
Two faint glows suddenly flashed in his eyes, seemingly piercing directly into Gu Yang’s heart!
Soul Seizing Art!
Thud!
Gu Yang’s eyes lost their focus, and he instantly knelt on the ground!
"Gu Tian’s cultivation was too high, my grandfather was no match, so we bribed Commander Gu to secretly poison Gu Tian’s food and drink..."
"Shut up!"
Gu Chang was furious.
"You shut up!"
As he spoke.
He was about to attack Gu Han!
"Speak, let him speak!"
"Exactly, let everyone know that your Gu Family are all hypocrites!"
"..."
The various patriarchs looked displeased and stopped Gu Chang.
The opportunity to overthrow the Gu Family was at hand, so they naturally wouldn’t allow anyone to disrupt it.
"After the poison took effect."
Gu Yang, in a daze, continued to speak.
"My grandfather secretly took your sword, and together with my father and two Elders, surrounded and killed Gu Tian, but unexpectedly, he retaliated in his dying moments, almost escaping..."
"Why!"
Gu Han’s body trembled slightly.
"My foster father toiled for the Gu Family for half his life..."
"Because he was selfish!"
Gu Yang’s tone suddenly held a hint of resentment.
"He always thought of you in everything, and gave all the benefits to you, why!"
"You are just a wild child picked up, I am the direct Bloodline of the Gu Family, I should be the Young Lord... No, I should be the Patriarch!"
Every word.
Clearly fell into everyone’s ears.
The arena was silent for a moment.
"How malicious!"
"The dignified Gu Family, they are all a bunch of hypocrites!"
"Alas, I didn’t expect Gu Han to be truly wronged, the way the Gu Family does things is truly despicable!"
"The number one Family in Tianwu City? Bah!"
Overwhelming discussions erupted.
Aside from the Gu Family members, the tide of opinion was completely one-sided, with the remaining people all siding with Gu Han.
"Hehe, how did they get to be number one?"
"Who among us doesn’t know, isn’t it all because of the hard work and management of the Gu Family Patriarch?"
"And they still have the nerve to call Gu Han a wild child? Wasn’t the Red Maple Valley mine taken down by him? And those medicinal fields and Spiritual Veins outside the city, weren’t they won back from the other families by him? The Gu Family submits so many Yao Beast cores every year, which time wasn’t Gu Han at the forefront, the first to go into the Barren Forest to kill Yao Beasts?"
"Most of the entire Gu Family’s foundation was laid by him and his foster father; if it weren’t for them, where would you, Gu Yang, get the yuan crystals to buy this top-grade Spiritual Artifact?"
"Exactly! A bunch of good-for-nothings who only know how to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor, and they still have the nerve to say he’s selfish?"
"..."
Everyone cursed loudly.
Among these people.
There were naturally those who genuinely felt remorse and spoke out for Gu Han, but more often, it was the other families fanning the flames.
The effect was naturally good.
Starting today.
The Gu Family’s reputation was completely ruined, and they were utterly finished!
In the crowd.
The Gu Family members were so cursed that they couldn’t lift their heads.
With this fig leaf torn off, they were almost mortified with shame and anger, but in their hearts, they felt no remorse whatsoever, and even hated Gu Han more.
Ultimately.
They had never truly acknowledged Gu Han.
And at this moment, Gu Han.
He no longer needed their acknowledgment.
He gently took Gu Tian’s memorial tablet and placed it in front of Gu Yang.
With a swipe of his hand.
Clang!
A fiery red long spear instantly plunged into the bluestone ground!
Fire Cloud Spear!
"Foster father!"
"All those who harmed you must accompany you in death!"
As he spoke.
He took out four heads and neatly arranged them in front of Gu Tian’s memorial tablet!
The first one.
Was Commander Gu’s.
The remaining two were the two Elders of the Gu Family.
The last one.
Was precisely Gu Cheng!
Slap!
After finishing this, he slapped Gu Yang’s shoulder with his sword, and a chilling Sword Qi instantly entered his body, shattering his Meridians!
"Ah!!!"
The immense pain.
Made Gu Yang instantly regain consciousness.
"You... what did you do! My cultivation, my Meridians! Father? How could this be..."
Seeing Gu Cheng’s head, his face twisted in agony.
"Just like a dog."
Gu Han stared at him, his voice cold, "A stray dog!"
Gu Yang’s face turned pale.
This sentence.
It was exactly what he had said to Gu Han that day; now that their situations had reversed, this sentence was returned to him verbatim!
"You... dare to insult me?"
His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at Gu Han, "And dare to kill my father?"
"He harmed my foster father, so he naturally must pay with his life."
"Little beast!"
Not far away.
Gu Chang’s face was grim.
"You dare to kill my son and cripple my grandson, today I will not spare you!"
Swish!
As he spoke.
A layer of red flames actually ignited on his body, and he charged towards Gu Han.
This time.
No one stopped him.
The goal had already been achieved; next, it was time to watch the show.
Looking at Gu Chang, who was almost going mad, Gu Han’s eyes also turned red.
Foster father.
This is the last one!
