"You're courting death." Mo Hai said disdainfully. Even if Po Ji were to be surrounded by firearms from all sides, he would have no chance of escape.
Martial artists are difficult to deal with because you can't find their location, so you're helpless. But if you're surrounded, even if you have wings, you'll have a hard time escaping.
"Fire!" Mo Hai waved his hand, but no shell was fired, which made him frown.
At this moment, ten Source Soldiers suddenly appeared behind the guards who were controlling the cannons. In the blink of an eye, the ten Source Soldiers knocked them all unconscious.
"You have reinforcements?" Mo Hai was taken aback, as were Xiao Ju and the other two.
"I felt something was off as soon as I arrived at the Central Villa District, so I kept a backup plan, which turned out to be very useful," Gu Yu said. When he arrived at the Central Villa District, he felt like there was an ambush around him. Although he was not sure, he made thorough preparations.
Mo Hai frowned. At this moment, without the cannons, he couldn't keep Gu Yu here.
"I don't understand why you're targeting me?" Gu Yu asked. He didn't know any of these people, had never met them before, and had no grudge against them.
“You know perfectly well who you’ve offended,” Mo Hai said, explaining that the story began yesterday.
He arrived in Mocheng, captured Motai, and learned that Motai's cultivation had been restored by Gu Yu. Then, orders came from above to capture Gu Yu.
"Offended someone?" Gu Yu frowned. He didn't seem to have offended anyone. "Are you with Wu Pei or Niu Wangzu?"
"It seems you don't even know who you've offended," Mo Hai said, clearly indicating that neither of the two people Gu Yu had guessed were the right ones.
"Since that's not it, I'm too lazy to guess." After saying that, Gu Yu grabbed Xu Ling'er's hand and was about to leave.
The next second, a figure appeared instantly, blocking Gu Yu. He unleashed a palm strike, and Gu Yu hurriedly swung his sword to defend.
boom………
Gu Yu was blasted backward and flew out of the air. When he saw the person who came, Gu Yu's brows furrowed instantly.
"It's you?" Gu Yu's eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
"You got away a few days ago, but you definitely won't get away today." The person who came was none other than Senior Brother Bai. At this moment, his injuries had been completely healed, and his aura was even stronger, indicating a breakthrough.
“Perfect, I will kill you today.” Gu Yu said coldly, “Blade Nurturing Technique, Heaven Opening.”
"Overestimating yourself." When Senior Brother Bai saw Gu Yu slashing at him in an instant, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Gu Yu was no match for him a few days ago, and it was even less likely that he would be now, because he had already broken through. Now he was a true powerhouse, a powerhouse with a primordial spirit.
"Immovable as a mountain, swift as thunder, Golden Bell Shield." A large golden bell appeared around him.
The enormous blade of light collided with the golden bell, and a terrifying impact spread out.
"He's actually this strong?" Mo Hai frowned as he watched this scene; this power had completely surpassed the Breaking Limit.
Xiaoju and the other two were equally shocked. This was completely different from the intelligence. This was not the power of a Grandmaster. This was the power of a Vertebra Realm expert.
Click...
The golden bell shattered instantly under the blade's light, and Senior Brother Bai's pupils contracted sharply beneath it.
"This is impossible." His golden bell required the power of a dragon to break, and his cultivation had improved, making the golden bell even more solid. Even the power of a dragon could not break it, but now it had been broken by Gu Yu. This was too unbelievable.
However, the blade's edge did not weaken and was already slashing down towards his forehead.
"The power of the primordial spirit." A similar phantom appeared behind Senior Brother Bai in an instant. The phantom suddenly caught the blade with its bare hands.
boom……………
A massive shockwave swept out again, knocking ordinary law enforcement officers and city guards to the ground.
"Primordial Spirit?" Gu Yu was stunned when he saw the phantom behind Senior Brother Bai. Senior Brother Bai had actually broken through. "Die! Heaven-Opening Slash!"
Gu Yu shouted, and suddenly a dense aura of Origin Qi emanated from him, making the blade's light even stronger.
Rumble...
Instantly, two figures flew backward. Xu Ling'er saw Gu Yu flying backward and moved to catch him. However, the impact was too strong, and she was thrown back for a long time before she regained her balance.
At this moment, blood was gushing from Gu Yu's mouth, and his body was trembling. If Xu Ling'er hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.
In contrast, Senior Brother Bai was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and he had a deep, bone-revealing knife wound on his forehead. His arms were trembling, and his primordial spirit had long since disappeared.
"This is impossible! How could you become so strong?" Senior Brother Bai looked at Gu Yu in disbelief. Just a few days ago, he could easily defeat Gu Yu, but now he was almost killed by Gu Yu with a single strike. In just a few days, Gu Yu's improvement far exceeded his own.
"He's no longer capable of fighting. Kill him," Mo Hai ordered the law enforcement officers and city guards.
But the next second, the ten Source Soldiers attacked them.
Mo Hai moved swiftly, instantly sending ten Origin Soldiers flying. He was actually a fifth-grade Grandmaster.
"Are you confident you can kill him, Xiaoju?" the burly man asked Xiaoju.
“Yes,” Xiaoju said, looking at Gu Yu, who was in a terrible state. “We need to use that thing.”
"That thing?" The burly man was taken aback. That thing was a new type of weapon, ten times more powerful than a large-caliber bullet, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a cannonball.
Xiaoju took off the backpack from his back, opened it, and found a box. After entering the password, the box opened, revealing a .40 caliber alloy bullet. Without hesitation, he put the bullet into the sniper rifle.
"You're the first person to let me use this thing." After he finished speaking, he fired a shot in Gu Yu's direction.
boom………
The terrifying recoil sent Xiaoju flying several meters, and the sniper rifle barrel exploded.
The large-caliber alloy bullet flew rapidly toward Gu Yu's location.
Swoosh...
"Not good." Gu Yu's pupils contracted. The bullet was too fast, and there was no time to dodge. According to its trajectory, it would first pierce through Xu Ling'er's body, and then through his body.
"Sword Nurturing Technique, Heaven Opening." Gu Yu pushed Xu Ling'er forward and slashed at the large-caliber bullets with his sword. At the same time, countless densely packed bullets also flew towards Gu Yu.
Rumble...
With a deafening roar, Gu Yu was engulfed by the explosion and bullets. Xu Ling'er, whom he had pushed aside, watched this scene, her pupils dilating instantly.
"No………"
"The Zhao family's new weapon is indeed powerful." Mo Hai murmured as he watched the explosion. But now Gu Yu was dead, so he couldn't catch him alive and wouldn't be able to explain himself.
As the explosion subsided, Gu Yu lay quietly in a large crater, his body mangled and bloody. The Tang sword had shattered in the explosion.
Xu Ling'er stumbled and ran towards Gu Yu. She looked at Gu Yu, who was no longer human, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Her veil had been reduced to ashes in the heat of the explosion.
"Gu Yu," Xu Ling'er called out, stroking Gu Yu's cheek.
"Hehe... This is really interesting!" At this moment, a young man slowly walked over from a distance, accompanied by an old man.
"Who are you?" Mo Hai asked, frowning as he saw the young man.
“The Ma family of Northeast China, Ma Li,” Ma Li said casually, unaware that what Mo Hai heard made him tremble.
The Mo, Zhao, and Ma families are all members of the GZ Alliance. Initially, their purpose was only for the Northern Snow Mountain Source Gate, and it wasn't necessarily for Mo City. However, members of the Mo and Zhao families requested to be in Mo City. Although the Mo and Zhao families don't have much say in the GZ Alliance, the Ma family is different. The head of the Northeast Ma family is known as the King of the Northeast, and his strength makes him one of the core families in the GZ Alliance, giving him absolute influence. They also requested to be in Mo City.
The GZ Alliance then decided to come to Mo City, but the Ma family was the main force, with the wealthy Zhao family and the powerful Mo family as secondary forces.
“You’re very beautiful. You must be from a reclusive family in this place, right?” Ma Li ignored the others and instead looked at Xu Ling’er.
They were initially unaware of the existence of a reclusive family in Mo City, but their investigation uncovered the Xu family, further solidifying the GZ Alliance's belief in Mo City.
Ma Li came here not just for any other reason, but because his adoptive parents were here, and he had lived here since he was a child. He had a special feeling for this place and wanted to make it his territory.
Speaking of his background, before he was fifteen, he didn't know many things. He only knew that his family was poor and his parents were often sick. Then one day, a flying person came and told him that he was not an ordinary person.
His father was the King of the Northeast, and Ma Li was the King's only son, born late in life. Years ago, because the Ma family in the Northeast faced the threat of extermination, he had to be sent away to grow up in an ordinary family.
However, unexpectedly, the Ma family in Northeast China was not wiped out. On the contrary, they killed their enemies and gradually expanded over the years. Since the King of Northeast China had no son, Ma Li would be the sole heir of the Ma family in the future. This made him somewhat apprehensive, just like the protagonist in a novel. From that time on, his life began to turn around. However, he did not like his father, the King of Northeast China, but preferred his adoptive parents.
As for other matters, they were just other people's grudges. However, since Lu Yao wanted to kill Gu Yu, he would do it anyway. In his eyes, it was not a big deal. However, judging from the current situation, Gu Yu had many enemies. The Mo family and the Zhao family both wanted him dead. Moreover, Gu Yu was indeed not ordinary. He was very powerful, and he even felt that he was no less powerful than him. Thinking of Lu Yao's reaction, Ma Li was a little angry. It seemed that he had to kill Gu Yu.
"Gu Yu." Xu Ling'er ignored Ma Li and kept calling out to Gu Yu.
Looking at Xu Ling'er crying for Gu Yu, and then at Gu Yu lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, Ma Li suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, especially at Xu Ling'er's stunningly beautiful face. Such a beautiful woman should be crying for him, not for a nameless clown.
In Ma Li's eyes, he was the protagonist, and everyone else was just a supporting character.
“Since you’re unwilling to answer me, I might as well take you back. After we have a deep conversation, I think you won’t cry and be sad for him anymore,” Ma Li said. “Look at your pretty face, especially your beautiful eyes. It’s not good to ruin them by crying.”
The next second, he instantly appeared beside Xu Ling'er, and his hand reached out to grab Xu Ling'er's shoulder.
"Young master, be careful." The old man who had come with Ma Li suddenly changed his expression, and Ma Li's expression also changed abruptly.
His hand, which he reached out to Xu Ling'er, was suddenly frozen, and the frozen spot was engulfed in an extremely cold, white flame.
Ma Li retreated instantly, a flash of blue light appearing on his arm, dispelling the white flames. He looked at Xu Ling'er in shock.
Xu Ling'er slowly stood up, white flames burning around her, and her eyes emitting white light.
Gu Yu was capable of dodging that alloy bullet, but he had no choice but to endure it for her sake.
She recalled Gu Yu's words in the hospital emergency room: "Wife, I will definitely protect you. I will never lose you again."
Yes, he was protecting himself, even at the cost of his own life.
"I'm going to kill you all." Xu Ling'er's voice was icy cold. Her tears disappeared, and she was no longer sad, but indifferent, extremely indifferent.
"What is this?" The old man who had come with Ma Li frowned when he saw Xu Ling'er covered in flames. He could tell that this was not Xu Ling'er's own power, but what was it?
He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Ma Li, and a primordial spirit appeared behind him.
The old man's primordial spirit struck Xu Ling'er with a palm, but Xu Ling'er's gaze sharpened as two beams of white light collided with the old man's primordial spirit's palm.
boom…………
The old man's primordial spirit palm was instantly pierced through. The old man's body trembled because white flames were burning at the point where his primordial spirit palm was pierced. These flames were extremely cold, causing his primordial spirit to tremble.
Upon seeing this, Ma Li immediately closed his eyes. A phantom image suddenly appeared above his head—a dragon.
The dragon appeared and immediately spat out a beam of blue light, extinguishing the white flames on the old man's primordial spirit arm. The next second, the dragon charged towards Xu Ling'er.
A wall of white flames suddenly appeared around Xu Ling'er.
The dragon crashed into it, and the wall of flames dimmed slightly. However, the dragon also retreated a little, looking at Xu Ling'er with some shock.
Then he opened his mouth wide, and a blue beam of light shot towards Xu Ling'er, immediately colliding with the wall of flames.
"Damn it, that kid absorbed too much of my power. I'm no match for this Flood Dragon Source." At this moment, the Phoenix Source inside Xu Ling'er's body suddenly spoke up.
"Kill them! Kill them!" Xu Ling'er roared at Feng Yuan.
“No, I can’t kill this Flood Dragon Source. If you want to leave, I can take you with me,” Feng Yuan said.
"I won't leave, I won't leave!" Xu Ling'er roared. The next second, the white wall of flames in front of her suddenly exploded, and the blue beam of light shot towards her.
"Damn it." Feng Yuan couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene. "Unseal it! Unseal it for me! As long as you give me everything you have, I can unseal it and kill them all."
"Okay." Just as Xu Ling'er was about to do it, a dragon roar suddenly came from Gu Yu, who had been silent. Jiaolong Yuan's body stiffened upon hearing the dragon roar. The next second, a burst of energy enveloped Xu Ling'er and Gu Yu. When the energy disappeared, Xu Ling'er and Gu Yu had vanished.
"What's going on?" Ma Li opened his eyes. This was somewhat unexpected. He was the main character! How could there be something he couldn't control?
"I don't know, there's something about them that terrifies me, it's best to stay away from them." After saying that, Jiaolongyuan instantly returned to Mali's body.
"What could possibly frighten you?" Ma Li asked in surprise. His Flood Dragon Source was just one step away from becoming a true dragon. In his previous life, he was the Flood Dragon King, a being with nine cones, a gift from his father.
“I don’t know. It hasn’t shown itself, and I’m not sure if it’s a dragon,” Jiaolongyuan replied.
"Dragon?" Ma Li frowned.
“Dragons have long since disappeared. There shouldn’t be any dragons in this world. Even the Dragon Source no longer exists, so I’m not sure,” Jiaolongyuan said again.
"Young master, are you alright?" The old man following Ma Li asked when he saw that Ma Li hadn't spoken for a long time and had a gloomy expression.
“It’s nothing,” Ma Li replied. “Go check that woman’s identity and pay a visit to the Xu family while you’re at it.”
"Yes, young master." The old man nodded and then disappeared.
"Young Master Ma." Mo Hai walked over and bowed to Ma Li. Before leaving, the family had specifically instructed that in Mo City, no matter what happened, Ma Li should be the first to be followed.
"Immediately issue a city-wide arrest warrant for that kid. He's probably not dead, but he's not in much better shape," Ma Li said. In his eyes, Mo Hai was nothing, not even as good as a dog.
"Young Master Ma, I'll take care of it right away." Although he was somewhat displeased with the way Ma Li looked at him and the tone of his voice, there was nothing he could do; the Ma family's power was undeniable.
“By the way, that kid has to die. Even if we find his body, we have to make sure he’s dead,” Ma Li emphasized.
He had to do whatever Lu Yao asked him to do, because he needed Lu Yao to be happy.
Although he knew that the woman was using him and didn't even like him, he couldn't do anything about it.
Although with his current status, he could have any kind of woman he wanted, Lu Yao was different. He even knew about the relationship between Lu Yao and Gu Yu, so he needed Gu Yu dead even more.
At this moment, Gu Yu and Xu Ling'er appeared in a village, and Gu Yu was still lifeless.
Xu Ling'er looked at Gu Yu. She had no tears left, because she was no longer sad, but she was very worried.
"Gu Yu." She tried calling Gu Yu again, but Gu Yu, as before, did not answer.
"Sigh, we've gone too far." At this moment, Longyuan suddenly flew out, looked at Gu Yu, and sighed.
It should have acted sooner, but it didn't expect that tiny bullet to be so powerful.
"Please save him, okay?" Xu Ling'er pleaded upon seeing Long Yuan's appearance.
"Alas! It's not that I don't want to help, but I don't know why, no matter what I do, his injuries just won't heal." Long Yuan said with a worried expression. He had already consumed a lot of his power, but Gu Yu's injuries just wouldn't heal. Even though he was very knowledgeable, he couldn't explain it for a while.
