Inside Ten Mile Slope, after Lu Fan and his companions had finished dealing with Gu Hai, they saw Gu Yuntong arrive with many Gu family experts.
“You are the ones who held Little Hai captive?”
Gu Yuntong looked at Lu Fan and the others, his eyes filled with disdain. He had thought it was some reclusive master, but now it seemed like mere children playing house.
“That’s right. If we hadn’t brought him here, would your Gu family’s Second Master have appeared!”
Bi Qing said coldly, “But since you’ve arrived, you must be prepared to die!”
“Joke, you think you can kill me with just a few of you?”
Gu Yuntong sneered, “Haven’t you even looked in a mirror?”
“Second Uncle, don’t waste your breath on them, save me quickly!”
Gu Hai said repeatedly, “I don’t want to die!”
“Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare kill you!”
Gu Yuntong sneered, “Do they have the courage for that?”
The onlookers all thought the same. The young master of the prestigious Gu family held a noble status in the Taiyan Dynasty. If Lu Fan and the others dared to make a move, the Gu family would likely wipe out their nine generations.
“Is that so?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, “You are quite confident!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan suddenly unleashed a palm strike, which surged towards Gu Hai.
*Pfft…*
Gu Hai coughed out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen. He had never suffered such a heavy blow in his life.
“You are so audacious!”
Gu Yunhai’s aura surged, and his cold gaze fixed on Lu Fan, radiating endless chilling intent.
“Do you think I was joking with you?”
Lu Fan said coldly, “Today, whether it’s the young master of the Gu family or the Second Master of the Gu family, both will die here!”
“My Gu family has no enmity with you, why do you want to kill us?” Gu Yuntong questioned.
“Because you are on the Tongtian Academy’s Most Wanted List!”
Bi Qing stated directly, “And because of that, you are destined to die today!”
“The Tongtian Academy’s Most Wanted List!”
Gu Yuntong trembled, his expression shifting. He hadn’t expected these people to be from Tongtian Academy.
“That’s right. You have committed all sorts of evil and are on the Tongtian Academy’s Most Wanted List, so you are a man who deserves to die!” Bi Qing said coldly.
“Even if you are from Tongtian Academy, so what!”
Gu Yuntong said coldly, “What does my doing have to do with your Tongtian Academy?”
“You’ll have to go to Tongtian Academy and ask the elders about that!”
Lu Fan said directly, “You probably won’t escape this calamity today!”
“Hahaha, people from Tongtian Academy are indeed very confident!”
Gu Yuntong sneered, “Since that’s the case, I’d like to see what kind of ability you have to kill me!”
Bi Qing and the others exchanged glances, then suddenly leaped into the air. Shen Yehong was among them.
“Princess Yehong, you are from the Taiyan Dynasty, are you also going to be an enemy of the Gu family?”
Gu Yuntong frowned, “If the princess gets hurt, it might not be appropriate!”
“You don’t need to worry!”
Shen Yehong shrugged, “Since I am a disciple of Tongtian Academy, I naturally must complete the academy’s mission!”
“In that case, I won’t be polite!”
Gu Yuntong’s aura surged, and a holy light appeared around him, causing everyone to tremble.
“Holy light? Isn’t that something that appears around a saint?”
“Who said it isn’t! Could it be that the Gu family’s Second Master has already cultivated to the Saint realm?”
“If that’s the case, won’t the Gu family soar in the future, having two saints guarding them!”
The crowd conversed, filled with astonishment, as the scene before them was too shocking.
“Could he really be a saint?”
Liuli frowned, “If that’s the case, aren’t we in danger!”
“The aura on him has not reached the true Saint realm!”
Lu Fan shook his head, “If my guess is correct, he should be at the peak of the Half-Saint realm, just one step away from becoming a saint!”
“That would be for the best!”
Liuli nodded slightly, no longer overly worried. He knew that Lu Fan and Bi Qing both possessed Half-Saint combat power, and dealing with Gu Yuntong would not be difficult.
“Today, I will let you know the consequences of offending a saint!”
Gu Yuntong sneered, and a black mist shot out, surging towards Lu Fan and the others with extreme speed.
Everyone dodged, but Liuli and Shen Yehong were injured by the black energy, instantly losing their combat effectiveness.
“Such a powerful aura, what is this?” Bi Qing frowned.
“If I’m not mistaken, he must have cultivated some demonic art. Although he is only a Half-Saint now, the strength he displays is infinitely close to a saint!”
Lu Fan frowned, “So, capturing him won’t be that easy!”
“Second Uncle, you must kill them here to make our Gu family renowned throughout the world!” Gu Hai shouted loudly, even though he was already seriously injured.
“So much nonsense!”
Lu Fan said coldly, and a powerful spiritual energy transformed into a sharp sword, slashing towards Gu Hai.
“How dare you!”
Gu Yuntong’s voice was icy as he lunged at Lu Fan with a claw-like grip.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan’s spiritual energy was a step faster. By the time he reached Gu Hai, Gu Hai had already been struck, with a wound on his chest and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
“Little Hai!”
Gu Yuntong shouted, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. He could never have imagined that Gu Hai would die before his eyes like this.
“He tried to assassinate me in the Imperial City last time. It’s only natural that he dies by my hand today!”
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, “You shouldn’t blame me, right?”
“Of course, I won’t blame you!”
Gu Yuntong slowly stood up, “Why would I blame a dead person!”
“Junior Brother Lu, be careful!”
Bi Qing quickly warned, looking somewhat flustered. Gu Yuntong’s aura had reached its peak, and Lu Fan killing Gu Hai had only enraged him further, which was not a good thing.
*Rumble!*
In a flash, a rumbling sound echoed. Lu Fan and Gu Yuntong began to clash, their battle shaking the heavens and earth.
Bi Qing wanted to go and help but found he couldn’t get close, which made him even more anxious. He was, after all, a Half-Saint, and he couldn’t even intervene in such a battle, so how could he not be worried.
“Such a powerful aura, is this really just a Half-Saint battle?”
Shen Yehong was shocked and a little worried for Lu Fan. Such a terrifying aura was truly horrifying.
The other Gu family experts wanted to join the battle but dared not step forward. Both Lu Fan and Bi Qing were far superior to them in strength.
“Can Second Master defeat this person? If not, what should we do?”
an elder frowned, as they could see that Lu Fan was not weak, and Gu Yuntong might not be able to take him down!
“Second Master is only one step away from the Saint realm, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to deal with this kid!”
Several other elders spoke, “We should just wait and see!”
Meanwhile, in the Imperial City, many experts arrived at Ten Mile Slope instantly, people from various families were present.
