Chapter 24 Sacrificing One's Life for the Cause



Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen, momentarily forgetting how to respond to his provocation, feeling a tremor in his soul that made him tremble uncontrollably.

"What's wrong, Gu Liyan? Are you so nervous fighting me? Or..." Mo Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you scared?"

Gu Liyan clenched her fists, ultimately lacking the courage to ask about Gu Changyuan.

Mo Chen smiled and said, "How about this? If you can beat me, I'll grant you three extra requests!"

Gu Liyan looked up, took a deep breath, and stared at him. "Are you really that confident you can beat me?"

Mo Chen smiled and said, "I wouldn't call it confidence. Theoretically speaking, with only a thousand years of cultivation, you're not that strong. And in terms of combat experience, you probably have no real combat experience at all, right? Unfortunately for you, your opponent is me!"

Ignoring Mo Chen's sarcasm, Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian standing behind Mo Chen and said with a smile, "The outcome will be revealed soon... I win, I live; I lose, I die!"

All eyes turned to Gu Liyan at the same time, the fleeting beauty of nature highlighting his handsome face.

Hua Baixian quietly looked at Gu Liyan. The wind blew through her hair, and his words, like a gentle rain, had already moistened her eyes...

I thought I had become strong, but when I look into his eyes, I always see that vulnerable, fragile version of myself from the past: "Xiao Li... how could you be so foolish..."

Gu Liyan smiled slightly, as if he had heard Hua Baixian's words, and his lips moved slightly as he spoke: Wait for me!

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly changed, revealing his murderous intent.

Upon seeing this, Mo Chen raised an eyebrow, a chill creeping over him.

Gu Liyan was the first to move, raising his left hand and unleashing his Xuanbing Domain. Instantly, snow fell for thousands of miles, and everyone felt the biting cold, so cold that their movements slowed down.

Mo Chen sneered, raising his left hand as well. A powerful wind domain swept over, scattering the falling snow.

Facing Mo Chen, who suppressed his domain with a single move, Gu Liyan was not discouraged. He had already learned from their last battle that Mo Chen's domain was wind.

"If this is all the tricks you have, you might as well admit defeat!" Mo Chen lightly waved his paper fan, looking relaxed.

Gu Liyan stared intently with her purple eyes. The aura surrounding Mo Chen was green, blue that was close to purple, and a red ball. The terrifying aura emanating from the red ball made Gu Liyan's soul tremble.

“You are very strong, but… I don’t want to lose!” Gu Liyan said with a frown. “So, I’m going to make my move.”

Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan's serious attitude and couldn't help but sneer.

Gu Liyan flipped the handprint over, and Mo Chen recognized what it was. He couldn't help but sneer, "You think you can trap me like last time?"

As he spoke, Gu Liyan spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the talisman formed by his hand seals: "Nine Dusts God-Slaying Formation!"

Mo Chen raised an eyebrow, and a murderous aura emanated from Gu Liyan—

"This, this is..." Tianyi was shocked, looking at Gu Liyan, "How come he has the same aura as the formation around the Execution Platform..."

Surrounded by a purple light array, Mo Chen, his face grim, glared at Gu Liyan, who stood outside the array looking pale, and angrily cursed, "Why aren't you following the script?! This isn't the array we used last time!"

Gu Liyan coughed lightly, "Cough, I didn't say it was the same formation as last time..."

Just as Mo Chen was about to say something, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly descended from the sky within the magic array and struck him hard.

"Ah—" Mo Chen's scream echoed through the heavens and earth, making everyone tremble with fear.

The God-Slaying Formation gave Mo Chen no chance to resist. One bolt of purple lightning after another struck down, causing screams of agony to erupt, making people tremble with fear at the sight of the formation.

Gu Liyan looked at the disheveled Mo Chen and said, "Although its power is not enough to be called a true god-slaying weapon, it should be enough to subdue you—admit defeat!"

Mo Chen laughed sinisterly, "Hahaha... You're really something, Gu Liyan. I never expected you to know such formations... This is truly a surprise... Ah..."

Mo Chen collapsed to the ground, his breath faint.

Gu Liyan glanced at Bu Yunrui and asked, "Can this battle end now?"

Bu Yunrui looked at Gu Liyan with a smile but didn't speak. Just as Gu Liyan was about to ask again, Mo Chen's voice came from within the God-Slaying Formation...

"Finish?"

Gu Liyan was taken aback, looking at Mo Chen in the formation with surprise. He slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and raised his head, his dark green eyes staring at Gu Liyan like a venomous snake. "You think this little bit of lightning can defeat me?"

Gu Liyan was shocked and forgot how to speak when she saw the lightning domain surrounding Mo Chen.

"Hehe, I can't keep up the act anymore, Gu Liyan. What a coincidence, the other domain within me is lightning!" Mo Chen chuckled and said.

Before Gu Liyan could react, her expression changed drastically, and she spat out a mouthful of blood mist. At this moment, Mo Chen had already broken through the formation and walked out.

Gu Liyan stared blankly at Mo Chen, "How is this possible... Thunder is the Heavenly Dao, a domain that ordinary people cannot possess, how could you possibly have it..."

"So you're allowed to have the Profound Ice Physique, but I can't have the Profound Thunder Physique?" Mo Chen sneered. "Heh, that's really laughable! You want me to admit defeat? Where does your confidence come from? I suggest you just admit defeat already!"

Gu Liyan looked at Hua Baixian, gritted his teeth, and stood up. "I said, if I win, I live; if I lose, I die!"

Mo Chen sneered repeatedly, "Give me a break, trying to win the beauty's heart with a self-inflicted injury? It won't work on me! If you really want to die, I can send you on your way!"

Raising his right hand, he unleashed a bolt of purple lightning towards Gu Liyan, arriving in a flash and instantly causing Gu Liyan to fall from the sky.
