Chapter 60 Yao Guang Luo "Come quickly, my brother..."
【Recommended background music: Jade Dragon Fighting】
“It’s Chen Mu who’s here…”
Gu Tai frowned and looked at Chen Mu, then silently took a step back and drew his sword.
"Hmph! Chen Mu!" The Demon Lord Kong Xian actually took out another bone blade from his body, which was covered with dark devilish aura and exuded a murderous aura.
He pointed the bone blade at Chen Mu, grinned and was about to say something, but Chen Mu was unwilling to listen to his nonsense and attacked with the sword in an instant!
“Zheng——”
The Zhuoguang Sword and the black bone blade collided, making a loud bang.
Shen Mu's spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and he pressed the sword down with an expressionless face.
Kong Xian held the bone blade in both hands to resist him, and his originally evil and arrogant expression gradually became ferocious.
“Crack!!”
The bone blade was once again covered with frost and broke with a sound!
Kong Xian opened his eyes wide in shock, and the next moment, the Zhuoguang sword pierced his chest directly!
"Aa ...
"How is this possible! How is this possible—"
He let out a sharp scream and immediately flew backwards.
Large stains of blood appeared on the black shadow's robe. Without hesitation, the Demon Lord immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke and fled into the distance!
"Oh no, he's going to escape!"
Gu Congxing shouted, and Chen Mu flew up with a sword in hand, but before taking action, he looked back at him.
Even without saying anything, Gu Congxing already knew what he meant.
"Master, please go! Don't worry about me!"
Chen Mu nodded slightly, sent out a voice message, and then disappeared into the sky like an arc of light.
Gu Congxing was just surprised and confused by what he said in the voice transmission when he heard a cold laugh.
"Heh... Gu Congxing, Chen Mu is not here, and you, a young brat, still dare to speak so arrogantly!"
Gu Tai walked forward with a sword in hand, his expression gloomy, and spiritual power surged around him.
Gu Congxing held the Whale-Slaying Sword across his chest, and when his eyes met his, he raised his lips and let out a cold laugh.
"Spiritual power? Shouldn't you be full of magic power now?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tai suddenly opened his eyes in anger.
"Boy... you're looking for death!!"
"boom--"
A powerful sword move came towards Gu Congxing, but he turned his eyes slightly and dodged like a ghost!
The sword hit the boulder, and dust flew up in an instant.
And in the smoke and dust, a figure was rapidly approaching Gu Tai!
“Zheng!!”
The Whale-Slaying Sword struck towards his back, but was immediately blocked by Gu Tai!
Gu Congxing frowned slightly, then stepped back with a tap of his foot.
But Gu Tai's spiritual sword followed again, and Gu Congxing immediately threw away the magic weapon of teleportation given by Jiang, and the next moment his figure appeared several feet away.
He held a long sword in his hand, his eyes slightly cold.
Gu Tai was at the Nascent Soul stage, while he himself was still at the late Golden Core stage. Both of them were sword cultivators, and the moves they used were similar, so the gap in their cultivation was insurmountable.
However, this gap is not completely insurmountable. If he can use the Infinite Art of Phantom Sword taught by his master, he will have a chance of winning.
However, he found it difficult to find an opening...
Gu Congxing's thoughts turned, he frowned and adjusted his spiritual energy, but heard an urgent call.
"Senior Gu Congxing!"
It was Gu Baichuan!
Behind him were several disciples, all holding swords and standing beside Gu Congxing.
Gu Congxing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Gu Baichuan held the sword in both hands and looked at Gu Tai with a vigilant expression.
"Now that all eight demon beasts have been annihilated, only the Demon Lord and this traitor remain!" His eyes were filled with determination. "Senior, let us lend you a helping hand!"
"And us!" The disciples behind him also spoke one after another.
Gu Congxing looked at the crimson-purple ocean around him and his heart was shaken.
"good."
The Whale-Slaying Sword made a buzzing sound, and Gu Congxing pointed the tip of the sword at the gloomy Gu Tai, with a light surging in his eyes.
"Let me, the disciple of the Gu family, slay the traitor today!!"
On the other side, at the Zhen Gate and Xun Gate.
Xiao Wangyou cut off the head of the last monster and sheathed his sword.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao!"
A disciple of the Gu family clasped his fists in thanks. Xiao Wangyou nodded indifferently and asked, "Where is Gu Congxing?"
The Gu disciple pointed in a direction and Xiao Wangyou flew away.
The black hem of his clothes fluttered in the air. When Xiao Wangyou passed through a forest, his eyes swept across a certain place and his expression suddenly froze.
He stepped down and saw a figure that shouldn't be there.
Xiao Wangyou frowned and asked, "...How did you get in here?"
A dark figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees, and the tall, pale man smiled femininely.
——It is the head of Qianyan Hall, Yan Wujian!
"Young Master, this is very distant. If you can come, why can't I?" he said quietly.
If Gu Congxing were here at this moment, he would be able to recognize that this person was the leader of the black shadow monks who protected Xiao Wangyou in his previous life, the one who was in the out-of-body stage and had severely injured Lan Jue and Zhong Ming!
Xiao Wangyou frowned and looked at him for a moment, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Where is the young master going?"
"To help Gu Congxing. That's why I came here."
"Oh, young master, you just mocked Si Junjian for being blinded by lust, why are you acting just as stupid when it comes to you?"
Xiao Wangyou stopped and looked at him, his handsome face full of coldness.
"What did you say?"
Yan Wujian slapped his mouth and added a few more words of apology, but there was still a teasing smile in his eyes.
Seeing Xiao Wangyou's eyes getting colder and colder, he cleared his throat and said seriously:
"Young Master, don't forget that we are investigating the matter of the Gu Clan's Phoenix Feather. The Gu Clan is in turmoil right now, and this is a golden opportunity."
This made a lot of sense. Xiao Wangyou lowered his eyelids, and the gold feather and red patterned earrings in his hair swayed gently.
"But Gu Congxing should still be fighting hard..."
"Don't worry, young master!"
Yan Wujian stretched out his voice and even sighed softly: "Let's not talk about Shen Mu, the Sword Master of the Transformation Stage. This is the Gu family's territory. Now that Gu Mingting is imprisoned, those disciples will naturally help Gu Congxing, the head of the family."
"You are an outsider, and a victim whose Phoenix Feather was taken away. What are you worried about?"
Xiao Wangyou's eyes flashed when he heard this. He was about to speak when he heard a loud noise not far away.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a violent spiritual power clash erupting on the east side of the martial arts field, which then calmed down after a moment.
Xiao Wangyou frowned slightly: "Is that... the direction of the Gu family's underground palace?"
Yan Wujian also looked a little gloomy.
"According to 'Swallow', Gu Mingting is imprisoned in the underground palace."
The two looked at each other and headed towards the underground palace.
Two dark figures moved forward rapidly, and when the outline of the underground palace gradually appeared in their eyes, Xiao Wangyou suddenly stopped.
Yan Wujian: "Young Master?"
Xiao Wangyou silently released his spiritual power, and spiritual patterns faintly appeared on his forehead.
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the distance.
"I sensed it...it's the Phoenix Feather!"
"And there's more than one! Someone brought them out from the underground palace!!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gave an order to Yan Wujian.
"Chase--!"
Gu Congxing said this to Gu Baichuan, and immediately attacked the retreating Gu Tai with his sword.
"Hmph! Damn it!" Gu Tai roared, bursting out with a powerful sword intent!
The disciples immediately formed a sword formation and clashed their spiritual powers, but no one was injured.
Gu Tai glanced coldly at the group of Gu disciples in front of him, and spiritual energy surged throughout his body.
The monsters have been wiped out, and the disciples from other sects have also gathered together, and they all gathered around Gu Congxing without any prior agreement!
Damn it, that young brat has clearly been away from Gu’s for a long time!
Why would they all willingly follow his orders?!
It’s simply... like that damn Gu Mingting is here again!
"Gu Tai, surrender."
Gu Congxing, who was surrounded by the crowd, waved his sword and looked at him with his head raised.
"Hmph..." Gu Tai covered the wound on his shoulder, was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha!! Funny, I can actually be pushed to this point by a bunch of brats like you!"
Although he was smiling, his eyes were glaring at Gu Congxing fiercely, as if he wanted to eat his flesh and blood.
"I wanted to leave some people for Gu's, but if that's the case, don't blame me!"
Before he finished speaking, he took out a magic weapon with a cold glow from his arms!
——One of the Gu family’s “secret treasures of heaven”, Tianquan!
As an elder of the Gu family, Gu Tai already possesses a secret treasure of heaven! And the function of Tianquan is to greatly enhance the offensive!
Gu Congxing's eyes suddenly darkened. He immediately leaped in front of the Gu disciples and saw that Gu Tai had already integrated the Heavenly Power into his long sword and suddenly slashed forward!
“Swish——”
Under the strengthening of Tianquan, Gu Tai's sword power increased several times, carrying a pressure of ten thousand pounds!
Gu Congxing immediately held the Whale-Slaying Sword across his body and opened a spiritual shield!
"Buzz—"
The Whale-Slaying Beast in the golden spiritual power vibrated violently, but was still defeated, and cracks appeared on the shield!
Gu Congxing frowned and immediately covered the disciples behind him and retreated to the side!
“Crack!”
The spiritual power shield suddenly broke. Gu Congxing and his disciples did not confront the sword intent head-on, but were still knocked to the ground by the aftermath.
"Cough cough!" Several disciples lay on the ground, coughing up blood.
"Gu Tai...!!" Gu Congxing stuck the Whale Slash into the ground and stood up straight. "You actually used the Gu family's secret treasure to severely injure the Gu family's disciples! Have you been eaten by dogs?!"
"Humph, how could a little brat like you understand my plan?"
Gu Tai sneered and took another step forward with his sword.
"You all must die."
Gu Congxing once again swung his sword, and Yu Guangzhong, Gu Baichuan and the others also stood up again, silently protecting him.
We can't disperse our attacks like we did just now, otherwise there will be casualties among the disciples.
But if he ordered them to form a sword formation now, they would probably be broken by Gu Tai when they gathered.
Gu Congxing's eyes turned, a line of cold sweat ran down his forehead, but he suddenly saw a green light in his eyes.
That is green vines and green grass.
Green... Got it!
Gu Congxing's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent a message to Gu Baichuan:
"Do you remember how you won against the Jiang Clan during the Immortal Clan Competition?"
Gu Baichuan nodded immediately. Seeing Gu Tai's frown, Gu Congxing continued to transmit the message - people with high cultivation levels could hear the messages from people with lower cultivation levels.
"Follow my command and repeat that move!"
Gu Tai sneered as he listened to their conspiracy: "A last-ditch effort."
But the moment he opened his mouth, Gu Congxing flew towards him like lightning!
"Flowing Clouds, Floating Light—"
A sharp sword intent carrying a heavy pressure suddenly attacked, and Gu Tai immediately swung out his sword, and the two sword intentions collided in the air!
However, the golden sword intent was ultimately no match for the ferocious sword intent that was amplified several times, and was split apart!
Seeing that the sword intent was about to hit Gu Congxing, Gu Tai raised a cold smile, but saw that the figure suddenly disappeared!
"What?!"
He exclaimed in disbelief.
On the other side, Gu Congxing, who had exhausted all his magic weapons, shouted loudly—
“Now!!”
“Liuyun Wanxiang——!”
The Gu family disciples, who had already prepared themselves a while ago, formed a cloud sword formation, and the sword intent flashing with endless light suddenly attacked! !
“Damn it—!!”
Gu Tai cursed and wanted to fight with his sword again, but it was too late!
The supreme sword intent condensed from the full force of dozens of Gu Clan disciples, was unstoppable, slicing through mountains and rivers!
“Ahhhhhh!!”
Gu Tai's long sword shattered and was knocked away by the sword intent, and blood gushed out in an instant!
“We…won!!”
Gu Baichuan was the first to let out a loud shout, and then several disciples cheered in succession!
"We won! We defended the Gu family!"
After a series of hard battles, the bewildered disciples hugged each other and cried with joy.
Gu Congxing looked at them with a smile, then turned and walked to Gu Tai's side.
"Ahem! Puff—"
Gu Tai crawled on the ground and just as he was about to move, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
The tip of the Whale-Slaying Sword was placed in front of him. Gu Tai forced himself to raise his head. The face that looked 50% similar to Gu Mingting was staring at him coldly.
Damn Gu Mingting, take away his power!
Damn Gu Congxing, hurting him like this!
“Damn it…!”
Gu Congxing looked at him indifferently and said, "Gu Tai, why did you rebel?"
Gu Tai sneered again.
"Letting that sickly Gu Mingting take over the Gu family will eventually lead to their demise. I will take back the position of head of the family that rightfully belongs to me! What's wrong with that?"
A cold light flashed in Gu Congxing's eyes, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Gu Tai's neck.
"How foolish! For the sake of power, you're willing to collude with the demons!"
The demon clan, that’s the blood feud of the Gu family for a hundred years!
But after hearing this, Gu Tai actually raised his head and remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke as if he could no longer hold it back.
"Hmph... Why do you think I deliberately used Yaoguang?! Although Yaoguang can break through spatial barriers and create a passage, it will also leave a mark on those who use the passage!"
"Then I can use the brand to severely damage the demons!"
Seeing a flash of surprise in Gu Congxing's eyes, Gu Tai said hurriedly:
"I originally just wanted to use the demonic attack to force Gu Mingting to abdicate! But he refused! He also refused to tell me the location of the other secret treasures..."
"As long as the demons find the treasure hiding place, I will activate the Yaoguang Brand and capture them all!"
And this will also be his first achievement as the head of the family!
As long as he ascends to the position of clan leader, the history of the Gu family will only say that he "took advantage of the enemy's strategy and lured the enemy into a trap", and there will never be any stain of rebellion or collusion with the demons!
History is written by the victors!
Seeing that he still did not repent and was still speaking with conviction, Gu Congxing could not help but shout angrily:
"You're such a smartass! What do you think of the hundreds of Gu Clan disciples? Do you think we're all dead?!"
Gu Congxing was extremely disappointed with Gu Tai. He didn't want to say anything more and only asked one last question.
"Why did you kill Jiang Zhou?"
But Gu Tai frowned and immediately asked, "What Jiang Zhou? Who is this?"
"Why are you still pretending? Jiang Zhou was deceived by the spy Jiang Luo, abducted by the demons and died. He also left clues that directly point to the Gu family—"
"Now it seems that everything is clear! It was you who instructed Jiang Luo to collude with the demons and kill Jiang Zhou!"
"Bullshit!! I, Gu Tai, have always been a man of action. Even if I'm like this now, don't even think about throwing all the dirty water on me!"
Gu Tai's eyes were wide open, and he looked extremely indignant.
"What Jiang Zhou and Jiang Luo! I've never heard of them! What does this Jiang family kid have to do with me? Ahem..."
Gu Congxing looked at him in surprise at his excitement. He was even hit by the Whale-Slaying Sword during the movement, and blood oozed from his neck again.
It doesn't seem like he's lying.
"...But among the Gu family, you are the only one colluding with the demons."
Gu Tai sneered sarcastically when he heard this.
"Hmph... you might as well think about how this Yaoguang came into my hands so easily."
"Gu Congxing, I won't live much longer anyway, so why not tell you this idiot..."
"There's a man with strange eyes and white hair in the Gu clan. He controls Yaoguang, but he's never been seen in the clan. I think he was feared by the previous clan leader, and therefore harbors resentment."
"This Yaoguang was given to me by him! Hahahaha! Ahem...!"
When Gu Congxing heard what he said, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
A person with heterochromia eyes and white hair, who has never appeared in public...
It’s clearly Gu Ying!
It was Gu Ying who delivered the message to him!
Seeing his stunned look, Gu Tai thought he was scared, and he became even happier, laughing continuously.
"Hahaha... cough, cough... puff--"
He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood! !
Gu Tai stared at the black blood with eyes wide open, his eyes bloodshot.
"Poison?! When did I get poisoned?!"
“Damn it, who is that?! Pfft!”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood.
Immediately, blood began to flow from all his seven orifices, and in a moment, he was completely motionless.
Gu Congxing retracted the Whale-Slaying Sword, his eyes growing colder.
A master who can poison a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage silently must be extremely skilled in the use of poison and concealment.
And there was only one such person in the Gu family that he knew of.
“Gu Ying…!”
Why?! Gu Ying, who was so loyal to her brother, was actually the one manipulating everything behind the scenes!
Is this Gu Ying's plan, or...
Gu Congxing resolutely closed his eyes, unwilling to face another guess.
Suddenly, the voice message that Master left before he left appeared in my mind again.
"The Gu family has a massive monitoring array that covers the entire territory of the Gu family. It is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Cong Xing, be careful in everything."
Gu Congxing gritted his teeth and released all his spiritual power.
The golden spiritual power seeped into the ground and indeed sensed the spiritual power of the formation.
He was clearly very familiar with that spiritual power.
The tall crimson figure appeared in his mind again, but his determination to rescue this person just a moment ago was completely shattered.
Gu Congxing clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with a cold light!
“Gu Mingting——!!!”
The boy's angry roar echoed in the air.
In the underground palace, huge murals faintly emerged between the flickering candlelight.
The black dragon circled, the demons roared, the long sword shattered, the black sun hung high in the sky, the god fell in the God Forest, and the Blood Pool Cave shook.
"Haha, did you find it?"
In a pool of blood, the person who was supposed to be rescued laughed endlessly.
Shaking the folding fan in her hand, a dark light surged in her peach blossom eyes.
In front of the mural that resembled Shura Hell, Gu Mingting's face was still clear and elegant, like a statue of a god.
“Swish——”
The candlelight goes out and whispers begin.
“Come on…”
"younger brother."
