Chapter 226 The Fall of the Icon
Gu Shaoxuan never expected that he would encounter such a situation after he came out.
He had clearly prepared for the worst, he had clearly overdrawn his future to force a breakthrough, he had clearly taken it very seriously...
But why——it hasn’t even been two hours since Ji Ruo left the ant nest!
How come the support from Daxia's top management came so quickly? !
Also, why are there two four-star monsters?
At this moment, Gu Shaoxuan's heart was broken. The cool and aloof image he had pretended to be in front of the Ant Queen all the way collapsed in an instant.
Fortunately, the Ant Queen is not here now, otherwise it would be too bad...
Attract fire? How does he do that?
He smiled awkwardly and said, "This is all just a misunderstanding. Why would I want to promote the advent of the secret realm? I know very well the consequences of the advent of the secret realm..."
Gu Xingzhou said with a smile: "Your name is Gu Shaoxuan? Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Xingzhou. Do you know me?"
Gu Shaoxuan's pupils shrank slightly.
The swordsman with crane-hair and a childish face snorted coldly and said, "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, the law enforcement department will make the decision! Come with me!"
The swordsman said this and prepared to arrest someone.
At this time, the white cat hurriedly flew over from the land temple and shouted: "Master, it's bad! That guy is not dead yet, he is...Huh? You have met him? Then it's okay."
Gu Xingzhou was stunned when he saw the white cat: "It's you?!"
When the white cat saw Gu Xingzhou, his face changed drastically: "It's you again! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I really didn't eat anyone! Don't hit me!"
Gu Xingzhou raised his hand slightly: "I don't..."
Before he could finish, the white cat was so scared that it covered its head and burrowed into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
The swordsman was a little confused: "Do you know that cat?"
The mountain god tree said slowly: "This is the cat that stole the dragon ball of the earth-turning dragon. I didn't expect it to come here."
Jing Lan tilted her head: "Is it her? I think I've seen her before. This cat is so timid. She used to run away when she saw me."
Gu Xingzhou opened his mouth and looked at Ji Ruo again: "Ji Ruo, did she just call you master?"
Ji Ruo touched his nose and said, "Uncle Gu, that's Luo Xi's sister. I actually only found out about this recently... It's a long story..."
Luo Xi squatted on Ji Ruo's shoulder. Seeing Gu Xingzhou looking at her, she immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Meow~ (Master, please protect me! I won't burrow into the ground!)"
Ji Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he raised his hand and rubbed Luo Xi's head.
The swordsman looked at Luo Xi, then at the place where the white cat disappeared, and was a little confused: "This one looks a bit like a monster, but not completely like... That one doesn't seem to be a monster either, weird..."
When Gu Shaoxuan saw that a few people actually started chatting about family matters, he did not feel humiliated but was surprised.
opportunity!
He stepped back slightly, trying to escape.
He couldn't turn around because the black coffin was behind him.
More than 20 years ago, he swore that he would never let that statue stand in his way again in his life.
"I almost forgot about you. You pretended to be my nephew and you still want to run away? You stay here!"
Gu Xingzhou noticed Gu Shaoxuan's intention, and raised his hand to use the Tianbei Palm. In an instant, a golden giant bag more than 30 meters long smashed down on Gu Shaoxuan, and Gu Shaoxuan had no way to avoid it.
But he had no intention of avoiding it.
He knew Gu Xingzhou and knew that the other party was at the peak of the Golden Body Realm.
At the moment, there are three four-stars and one beyond four-star. Although he has broken through, he has only just entered the Golden Body Realm. He is completely incomparable in terms of strength. He has no way of escaping through normal means.
"Six Paths: Hungry Ghost!"
Gu Shaoxuan roared, and his black and gold martial arts golden body suddenly appeared.
His martial arts golden body had a green face and fangs. As Gu Shaoxuan's martial arts true energy circulated, his abdomen suddenly contracted, and a deep black hole appeared in the center, emitting a powerful suction force.
"swallow!"
Gu Shaoxuan roared, and his martial arts golden body raised his abdomen and crashed into Gu Xingzhou's Tianbei palm print.
The huge palm print of the Heavenly Stele shattered in an instant, turning into golden fragments that were absorbed by the black hole in Gu Shaoxuan's abdomen.
His skinny belly suddenly became round, Gu Shaoxuan's face turned red, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of hot blood.
"Huh? What kind of martial arts is this?" Gu Xingzhou was surprised.
After absorbing Gu Xingzhou's palm power, Gu Shaoxuan's strength temporarily increased dramatically.
"One Hundred Demons Night Parade!"
Gu Shaoxuan did not try to counterattack, but instead used his body skills at the first possible moment. His body seemed to suddenly explode, and instantly turned into hundreds of bodies, fleeing in all directions.
And those figures of Gu Shaoxuan who were heading in the direction of Ji Ruo and others launched an attack on Ji Ruo and others.
Gu Xingzhou also did not move, and the swordsman's eyes were cold and he did not move either.
After those figures hit him and others and disappeared like bubbles, the swordsman looked at Ji Ruo and said, "Your name is Ji Ruo, right? I know you. You are not afraid of danger. Not bad, you are a good seedling."
Ji Ruo chuckled and quietly dispersed his invincible power that had been exerted to the limit...
The first level of Vajra's Invincible Divine Art, Vajra Qi training, mainly trains the body-protecting qi. This stage does not increase the strength of the physical body, and one can only activate it by oneself to make the defensive ability of the body-protecting qi stronger.
In a short period of time, Gu Shaoxuan had already run several kilometers away - although he had just entered the Golden Body Realm, the Golden Body Realm was the Golden Body Realm. In just a moment, he was able to exceed the speed of sound!
No one went to chase the fleeing Gu Shaoxuan, and no one panicked.
Ji Ruo said, "Aunt Jinglan, could you please catch that guy back here?"
Jing Lan is a half-step five-star Wind God Falcon. She is the darling of the wind, and after mastering the secret of thunder with the help of Ji Ruo, she has become extremely fast. When she flaps her wings with all her strength, she can teleport within several kilometers.
"Okay..."
Just as Jing Lan was about to chase him, the swordsman suddenly said, "You are guests after all. We don't need to bother you with such a small matter."
As the swordsman spoke, he finally unsheathed the precious sword in his arms for the first time in front of Ji Ruo.
"Old Gu, please watch my sword carefully."
Gu Xingzhou's eyes widened when he heard this. He thought the swordsman wanted to show him some powerful sword moves he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but become curious.
What other moves does this swordsman have that he hasn't seen before?
Ji Ruo was also fully focused. With his comprehension, no matter what sword moves it was, as long as he saw them, he was sure he could learn them in the shortest possible time!
'Shine~'
"ah!!!!"
There were three screams in a row, mixed with a shrill cat cry.
One was from Gu Shaoxuan, the other two were from Ji Ruo and Gu Xingzhou, and the cat's meow was naturally from Luo Qian...
The sword was unsheathed, and the pure, sharp and powerful sword intent made Ji Ruo's eyes light up. He couldn't help but raise his hand to block it. The sword light when the swordsman drew the sword was so dazzling that it illuminated most of the Babao Village as bright as day. Ji Ruo was caught off guard and was almost blinded...
Even Chen Mo, who had fallen into a deep sleep above Ji Ruo's head due to tiredness from playing, was awakened. He subconsciously used the power of his inner demon to condense a dialogue box above Ji Ruo's head -
"Fuck! Whose lights are so flashing!"
Gu Xingzhou rubbed his red eyes, tears streaming down his face, and cursed: "You bitch, you can't use a sword unless it shines, right? You are such a damned evil person!"
Ji Ruo was not much better, but he did not blame the swordsman. He just wiped his tears and recalled the sword strike.
That sword was not only extremely dazzling, but also very powerful.
The sword energy was swung, and the distance of several kilometers was reached in an instant. Even though Gu Shaoxuan had the strong intuition of a Golden Body Realm warrior about danger, he only had time to slightly turn sideways. But even so, his body was directly cut off from the left shoulder to the right hip by the sword light, and fell far away.
A long sword mark appeared on the ground. After a few seconds, the grass leaves around the sword mark slowly shattered, turned into powder, and dissipated with the wind - the sword could cut through several kilometers and still cut off the body of a Golden Body Realm warrior. This sword was so terrifying!
Not to mention Gu Shaoxuan, even Ji Ruo and Gu Xingzhou, who were not directly hit, were also affected by the sharp sword intent. Their shadows were split into three, as if they were also cut into pieces by the terrifying sword intent...
Even though Fengshen Falcon had received the swordsman's secret message and closed her eyes early, she couldn't completely ignore the sword light. When she opened her eyes again, she saw double images. She was horrified but also somewhat relieved - fortunately, the warrior who chased her back then didn't use a sword...
The Mountain God Tree was not affected too much. He was not a normal flesh-and-blood demon and had no eyes at all. Naturally, his vision would not be affected by the sword light.
But even so, the two demons swore in their hearts that they would never be enemies with humans in this life - what do you mean humans are weak? Who the hell said that?!
"Let's go and collect the body. The justice department wants to see him." The swordsman sheathed his sword without knowing when, and walked towards the place where Gu Shaoxuan's body was scattered.
Gu Xingzhou wiped his tears and said, "You hacked the people to death, and the judicial officer is still useless!"
The swordsman shook his head slightly and said, "The law enforcement officer only said he wanted to see him, but didn't say whether he was dead or alive. I heard that there was some god here, so I came here to kill him and try my hand at it. Helping the law enforcement officer to arrest people was just a side job.
Anyway, I caught the man."
"Then why the hell are you avoiding me!"
The swordsman chuckled, "I'm happy to do that."
Gu Xingzhou wiped his tears and angrily accused the swordsman of being dishonest.
Ji Ruo was in tears, and he also tried to comfort Luo Xi who was almost blinded by the flash. After Luo Xi felt better, he asked, "Uncle, can you tell me what the sword is called?"
"Why? You want to learn?"
Ji Ruo didn't pretend: "I do."
The swordsman smiled and said, "Watch my sword carefully."
Ji Ruo: “?”
The swordsman said, "This is the name of the sword move."
"???" Ji Ruo's mouth twitched: "Is the name of this sword move so careless?"
"How can it be careless?" The swordsman shook his head slightly, "Then what do you think this move should be called? Swordsmanship is used to kill, and swordsmanship moves don't have so many fancy names.
A sword move, from the moment of striking to the moment of exertion, only takes a split second. In such a short time, how can you name the move? Or do you prefer to name the move first and then strike with the sword in your hand?"
Ji Ruo wiped his tears and looked thoughtful.
The swordsman continued, "'Watch me with this sword'. In addition to the damage caused by the sword itself, the sword light also has a blinding effect. If you practice it well, you can strike the enemy with a few more sword strikes during the time the enemy is blinded, creating the effect of a sneak attack...
Personally, I don't advocate shouting out every move. Not only will it fail to achieve the desired effect, it will also easily lead to the enemy making targeted defenses.
More importantly, the battle situation changes rapidly. From remembering the name of the move to shouting it out and then actually making the move, no matter how fast you are, it will ultimately waste some time and the loss will not be worth it.
Of course, whether to shout or not is entirely up to personal preference, and whether to shout the correct move name is also entirely up to personal preference. For example, I like to make up moves on the spot. "
Gu Xingzhou mercilessly exposed: "Ji Ruo, don't listen to him. This guy has a bad memory and can't remember anything except the sword style. That's why he came up with such a perverse theory."
Ji Ruo: “…”
After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo said, "But I think what this uncle said makes sense."
"It certainly makes sense, but it's too unkind..." Gu Xingzhou said bitterly, "It's ok for him to use this trick to deal with demons, but he even cheated us! I can't see clearly now, this is fucking ridiculous!"
Ji Ruo: “…”
A few people chatted while walking towards Gu Shaoxuan's body.
Since it was the swordsman who took action, there was no way that Gu Shaoxuan could survive, so no one was in a hurry.
But after a moment, several people frowned as they looked at the two broken arms on the ground.
The two broken arms came from the same arm, with the flesh torn near the shoulder, looking like they had been torn off forcibly.
The part that was cut by the swordsman was the elbow. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and it even reflected light if you looked closely. There was not a trace of blood.
"Strange, I clearly cut him, how come it suddenly turned into an arm?" The swordsman frowned, Gu Shaoxuan's martial arts were so weird that even he couldn't figure out the flaw.
Gu Xingzhou rarely sneered at the swordsman. He squatted down, picked up the severed arm and examined it carefully: "Using the body to replace the shape? What kind of martial arts is this? Too weird..."
The mountain god tree said slowly, "Within a ten-mile radius, no human life breath has been found. The body I came here this time can only detect such a large range for the time being... Huh?"
Luo Xi huddled in Ji Ruo's arms, whimpering in grievance: "Meow~ (Master, are my eyes blind?)"
Ji Ruo was just about to comfort Luo Xi when suddenly, a loud noise came from the direction of Babao Village behind them, and several people turned around abruptly.
The mountain god tree then said slowly: "The ground has been hollowed out, and many demons have come out from underground. I think we should go back now."
When he finished speaking, he realized that the swordsman had disappeared without a trace.
Gu Xingzhou also grabbed Ji Ruoyun and used the Jinghong Escape Technique, and turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Babao Village.
Jinglan's wings fluttered, and when the Mountain God Tree finished speaking, she found that she was the only tree left here.
The mountain god tree said slowly: "...next time, tell me before you leave."
After saying this, he moved away from the thick tree roots and returned with great momentum.
…
At this moment, in the center of Babao Village, a huge pit appeared at the place where the five holy statues were originally placed.
Nearly a hundred white ants, including engineers, were carrying the holy statue and fleeing rapidly through the tunnel.
Because they had never been stained by human blood, the statues were not activated and allowed the white ants to carry them away.
"How dare you steal from my Great Xia Martial Saint! You are courting death!"
The swordsman's hair stood on end with rage, and he was about to draw his sword.
suddenly--
"Cry!"
Aunt Jinglan cried out in the air, "There are so many demons coming over there! It's a beast tide!"
"Beast Tide?"
The swordsman was stunned for a moment, and Gu Xingzhou immediately said: "Old Li, you deal with the beast tide, and I will go after the statue!"
"good!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xingzhou had already given up his plan and jumped into the sunken pit.
