A raging fire is burning in this northern land.
The high temperature distorted the space, and the place was shocking, like hell on earth.
The strong men nearby were all terrified and trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Zhi is so scary!
They seemed to see a peerless demon king rising up on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Bones form the thorny path, heads form the Iron Throne...
The road that Gu Zhi took to the highest point was filled with blood and killing. Just thinking about it was chilling and made one's scalp tingle.
"An entire city was sacrificed, including Gu Kuange, who was at the sixth level of the Martial Emperor..."
"Gu Zhi will definitely break through again this time, right?"
"Unstoppable, his rise is truly unstoppable!"
More and more powerful men in the Northern Frontier felt a chill all over their bodies. They wanted to escape like crazy and get away from the Northern Frontier.
They all chose Zhongzhou without any prior agreement. Now, only Zhongzhou can stop Gu Zhi's killing spree, and only Zhongzhou has the possibility of saving their lives, right?
However, soon, some strong men also discovered that something was wrong.
It seems that Gu Zhi failed to draw any nourishment from Gu Kuange?
"What's going on?"
Ye Qinghan also noticed something was wrong.
At first, Ye Qinghan thought that Gu Zhi did it on purpose.
But when she noticed Gu Zhi frowning, she knew something was wrong!
"It's true that he was sacrificed alive. I refined the energy in his flesh, blood, and bones, but..."
"These energies were not absorbed by me, and did not flow towards me, but flowed deep into Gu Kuange's flesh and blood!"
Gu Zhi no longer suppressed his cultivation at this moment, and his seventh-level cultivation burst out. In order to stop this strange process, he wanted to forcibly devour the energy in Gu Kuange's body.
However, at this moment, a skinny old man appeared silently beside Gu Zhi.
Gu Zhi was suddenly horrified. He was already at the seventh level of tribulation, and after his life level was elevated, both his body and soul had evolved, and his perception ability was terrifyingly strong!
But this skinny old man could actually appear beside him silently!
The strength of the skinny old man is self-evident, he is absolutely terrifyingly strong!
"Who are you?"
Gu Zhi pulled Ye Qinghan back quickly, putting some distance between them and the skinny old man.
It was obvious that he was no match for the skinny old man.
"Just a lonely ghost."
The skinny old man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the sound of two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other. It was extremely harsh and made people get goose bumps just by listening to it.
"He can't die yet."
The skinny old man explained his purpose and pointed his dry bamboo-like fingers at Gu Kuange, who was covered in blood.
"He is the descendant of the Demon Lord, I must protect him."
Gu Zhi frowned slightly. This skinny old man was indeed Gu Kuange's protector.
Before Gu Kuange changes to practice the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky", he needs to cut off all his Taoist bones and cultivation!
This means that Gu Kuange will be in danger for a long period of time, and if he is discovered, he will die a miserable death.
But Gu Kuange not only safely passed through this dangerous period, but also quickly improved his cultivation. How did he do that?
Gu Zhi had just guessed that Gu Kuange must have a protector.
Now, as expected, Gu Kuange’s protector appeared.
This skinny old man wants to save Gu Kuange!
"I am also the descendant of the Demon Lord."
Gu Zhi knew that if he went head-on with the skinny old man now, he would definitely not win.
But after finally defeating Gu Kuange, the opportunity for revenge was right in front of him. Gu Zhi was unwilling to give up easily and wanted to try again.
"I know."
The skinny old man nodded, looked at Gu Zhi and said:
"You are very strong, but some things...require fate."
Gu Zhi frowned even deeper. The skinny old man was determined to save Gu Kuange.
Gu Zhi calmed down and wanted to know more:
"Since you are his protector, why did you show up now? You could have taken action before I crippled him."
The skinny old man replied:
"Young man, you are a good whetstone."
Gu Zhi's pupils shrank slightly:
"You deliberately used me to destroy him?"
The skinny old man nodded, looked at Gu Kuange whose body began to emit a black light, and said:
"He has a good foundation, but he still needs to be polished."
"The Gu family, Yunqi City, goals, dreams, revenge... these things are all illusions on the road to becoming the Demon Lord. They are shackles and fetters."
"Only by cutting these things off can Gu Kuange show his true potential."
The skinny old man looked at the blazing Yunqi City and said:
"I once tried to persuade him to give up, but he couldn't. It's a perfect opportunity for you to come along. With your help, I can bury Yunqi City and the Gu family, and then destroy him, allowing him to achieve nirvana and blossom into his true self. Only then can he truly rise, an unstoppable rise!"
Gu Zhi understood:
"Is this also the reason why you could have attacked me just now, but chose not to?"
"I am this whetstone. I will now grind away the shackles and fetters of Gu Kuange and bring out his true edge. In the future, I will be able to make him even sharper!"
"You want Gu Kuange to blossom into his 'true self' and then kill me personally. Then, Gu Kuange will transform again, right?"
The skinny old man pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely ugly smile:
"Young man, you are very smart."
This is the default.
Then, the skinny old man said to Gu Zhi:
"If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you, but unfortunately..."
"Some things are destiny and cannot be violated. Humans have no say in the matter."
The skinny old man sighed softly, grabbed Gu Kuange and was about to leave.
But before leaving, the skinny old man suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Zhi, but his gaze finally fell on Ye Qinghan, revealing a meaningful smile:
"Immaculate demonic body, hehe."
Gu Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank and his face changed drastically.
It would be fine if we couldn’t stop the skinny old man from taking Gu Kuange away, but what did the skinny old man mean by this?
"Young man, cherish her. She's about to have a seizure."
The skinny old man laughed strangely, grabbed Gu Kuange, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Zhi looked very solemn. It was not scary that Gu Kuange was rescued by the skinny old man, because the skinny old man would let Gu Kuange fight him again, and he still had the chance to kill Gu Kuange.
Moreover, I didn't anticipate the skinny old man in advance this time, which was a wrong move. The situation today will definitely not happen again next time.
So although Gu Zhi felt a little upset that he failed to kill Gu Kuange today, it was actually not that bad and was within an acceptable range.
However, the skinny old man's last words to Ye Qinghan made it difficult for him to calm down.
What does “onset” mean?
The skinny old man mentioned the pure demon body again.
Is there something ominous about the pure demonic body? Will it "become ill" as it grows?
But I have never heard any related rumors before!
