A seemingly insurmountable chasm gradually appeared ahead, and Ye Tian realized that he could no longer continue. So he made a decisive decision: to stop and cease all attempts to move forward.
Because Ye Tian understood what he was about to face.
fighting!
Fighting a man who possessed the first level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, even though this man's face was ashen, like a starving man on his deathbed, even though his eyes were sunken and his cheekbones were as high as a molting dog that hadn't eaten for years.
This still doesn't change the fact that he is at the first level of the Golden Immortal realm.
Ye Tian could tell that the pale, weak man before him, who occasionally coughed with his hand over his mouth, had a long lifespan ahead of him. He might not die for a very long time. The real reason for his weakness was the illness within his body.
The pale, thin man had developed an illness that, at some unknown time, caused his sea of consciousness, which was meant to hold spiritual energy, to be half the size of that of an ordinary cultivator.
Weakness does not mean weakness.
Ye Tian deeply remembered this principle: any expert who could reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was not weak. In particular, Ye Tian could deeply feel that he had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm after suffering such severe injuries.
Therefore, he might be the weakest of the Great Luo Golden Immortals, with the smallest sea of consciousness. Yet, he was also the most legendary, and the Great Luo Golden Immortal who achieved the most difficult breakthrough.
Even with so many prefixes, it is still a Great Immortal.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal is definitely not someone that a single Golden Immortal can defeat.
This is a story that everyone understands, and the outcome of the battle that follows seems to have been predetermined.
The pale-faced man hundreds of feet away was conserving his energy to an alarming degree, because he wasn't approaching Ye Tian by flying, nor by using the least energy-efficient technique of shrinking the distance to an inch.
He walked, step by step, each step faster than the last. Even from hundreds of feet away, Ye Tian was still able to pinpoint the man's location with pinpoint accuracy.
Therefore, Ye Tian could clearly see that he started walking faster and faster, and afterimages began to appear behind him. One after another, the seemingly solid phantoms gradually became almost tangible.
People always use "swift as the wind" to describe speed, and this man is the fastest wind within a radius of hundreds of miles. He did indeed create a gust of wind, and he was already in front of Ye Tian.
"Cough." The man coughed suddenly, almost instinctively covering his mouth. There was no blood, but he had already subconsciously and habitually covered it.
The man looked up, staring directly at Ye Tian. His eyes were full of wisdom, as deep as the stars in a moonless night sky, revealing no hidden thoughts. He simply showed pity. His pale face was quite handsome, with a few freckles, but a high, straight nose. His long crane-feather cloak added to his quiet demeanor.
Ironically, they were mortal enemies.
The man, however, appeared very kind, as if he had met a long-lost friend. He smiled on his pale face and said with slightly parted lips, "I have been staying here for several days, firstly to pinpoint your location, and secondly to set up this talisman array near the immortal residence where you live."
"You can't get out unless you can break through the barrier of my Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but that's unlikely."
The kinder and more easygoing a man is.
Ye Tian's expression grew increasingly grim because in his previous life, he had been taught a principle from a young age—or rather, it wasn't even a principle, just a proverb—which Ye Tian had always believed in as gospel.
A dog that bites doesn't bark.
If you want to kill someone, you naturally won't argue with anyone; who would want to argue with a dead person?
Ye Tian felt a chill; the man before him continued to move his lips, talking to himself. He certainly wouldn't stop him, especially in the bookstore. With each passing incense stick's time, he had more opportunities. As long as the academy's dean, Kong Chan, could find him, he would be in no danger.
The man said, “Before you die, you certainly have the right to know who killed you. So I will tell you, my name is Gu Shi. Many people call me Master Gu because I am the strategist of King Wu. I come from that powerful and eternal dynasty, the Wu Dynasty. I have come to kill you.”
Gu Shi said calmly, which made Ye Tian even more wary. The cunning strategist had actually become an assassin. Of course, Ye Tian didn't think that King Wu was without capable men. King Wu had many powerful subordinates, but he hadn't sent any of them. Instead, he had only sent a strategist to kill him.
This already speaks volumes.
Gu Shi is very strong, at least stronger than he imagined.
"Cough." Gu Shi coughed again, subconsciously covering his mouth, looking very weak, as if he could be pushed to the ground by anyone.
Ye Tian was puzzled by this bleak appearance. Could it be that the Martial King believed this person was more suitable for assassination than other experts of the same realm? Perhaps that was unlikely.
Gu Shi wiped his mouth, a somewhat amiable smile appearing on his pale face, and patiently explained, "As you can see, my body is a bit weak. Even though I chose a very energy-efficient method for that distance of several hundred feet, it still took some effort. So since I intend to kill you, I need to readjust my body to its peak."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian felt a chill run down his spine, a chilling fear coursing through him. He instantly understood why Gu Shi had been sent by the Martial King. It wasn't his strength, but his wisdom.
Whether it's the wisdom of waiting or the wisdom of fighting.
This is a viper-like individual, possessing both endurance and ruthlessness; such people are terrifying. Always have been.
Ye Tian's skin suddenly broke out in goosebumps, and his pores opened instantly. His body retreated like a gust of wind!
