Seeing this scene, Li Mingxuan felt a tremendous threat, and his expression turned serious. His face was extremely grave as he rapidly considered countermeasures. Gu Yun's strength was indeed greater than he had imagined, and although his injuries had mostly healed, even with a significant recovery, even if his strength had increased several times over, he still couldn't defeat Gu Yun. This guy was simply too monstrous, Li Mingxuan thought to himself. A bitter smile appeared on Li Mingxuan's face. Regardless, Li Mingxuan's current situation was extremely awkward; he was no longer able to engage in a fierce battle with Gu Yun. Gu Yun's attacks were simply too unpredictable.
Seeing that Li Mingxuan had stopped attacking, Gu Yun's expression turned serious. Gu Yun knew that Li Mingxuan was incredibly strong. Although his attacks were powerful, he was still no match for Li Mingxuan. So, the fact that Li Mingxuan had stopped attacking was very strange. If Li Mingxuan continued to attack, his situation would become extremely critical. Li Mingxuan was a peak late-stage eighth-level martial artist. Although he hadn't broken through to the tenth level, his current attack power was terrifying. His attack power was comparable to that of his father, Gu Tianhe. Therefore, if such a master continued to fight, Gu Yun would likely die. He didn't want to see Li Mingxuan perish at his hands. Thinking of this, Gu Yun couldn't help but look at Li Mingxuan, wanting to know what his current situation was.
"Hmph, Gu Yun, you're doomed to lose now. You're no match for me. However, I'm too lazy to kill you. I know you're Gu Yun, a direct descendant of the Gu family, and your master is a ninth-level martial artist. So, I don't want to kill you. I'll just cripple your cultivation, imprison you here, and wait for our Gu family's experts to come and rescue you. Then you can force the poison out of your body." Li Mingxuan said, looking at Gu Yun.
Hearing Li Mingxuan's words, Gu Yun nodded slightly: "Hmm, Li Mingxuan, I admit you are very strong, but you want to imprison me here? Hmph, your appetite is a bit too big, isn't it? You should know that I, Gu Yun, am a genius of the Gu family, and my father is an elder of our Gu family. My father is a late-stage ninth-level martial artist. So, it is impossible for you to capture me. Even if you wanted to capture me, you might not be able to do it!"
As Gu Yun spoke, he looked at Li Mingxuan with an arrogant expression, his face radiating confidence. Gu Yun believed that once he captured Li Mingxuan, he would definitely be able to extract information from him about the origin of the blood-red talisman belonging to the Gu family. If he could uncover the secret of the blood-red talisman, the Gu family patriarch, Gu Tianhe, would surely be enraged, and then they would be able to find the talisman. A cold smile crept onto Gu Yun's face, his gaze towards Li Mingxuan filled with mockery.
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me see the strength of your Gu family head, Gu Tianhe! Let's see if you, Gu Tianhe, have the strength to block my attack! Hahaha..." Hearing Gu Yun's words, Li Mingxuan also smiled coldly, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Gu Yun. Li Mingxuan did not believe that a mere late-stage ninth-level martial artist could block his attack just now. If that were the case, then he, Li Mingxuan, would be truly humiliated!
"Heh, what an arrogant brat!" A faint mockery appeared on Gu Yun's face. Gu Yun stared coldly at Li Mingxuan, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. He said coldly, "Since that's the case, then I'll see if your arrogance is useful. Today, I'll let you witness just how powerful my Gu family's techniques are!" After saying that, Gu Yun didn't say anything more. With a swift movement, he vanished from his spot. The next second, Gu Yun's figure appeared in front of Li Mingxuan, and beside Li Mingxuan, a black short sword appeared. Without hesitation, Gu Yun swung the short sword and slashed fiercely towards Li Mingxuan's neck. A black sword light directly struck Li Mingxuan. Without hesitation, Li Mingxuan's arm jerked violently, and the black longsword in his hand suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful force. The black longsword instantly slashed across the black sword light, colliding with it. The black longsword and the black sword light collided, producing a violent explosion. Immediately afterward, Gu Yun's black short sword shattered, and the black sword light vanished.
The black sword light collided with Gu Yun's short sword and exploded. Gu Yun hurriedly staggered back several steps, an expression of disbelief on his face. How could this be? He, Gu Yun, was at the early stage of the ninth level of Martial Artist, while Li Mingxuan was only at the peak of the fifth level. Moreover, there was a whole realm difference between them. Gu Yun never expected that Li Mingxuan's strength would be so formidable.
Looking at Li Mingxuan, Gu Yun's face showed a look of shock. At this moment, a look of panic also appeared on Gu Yun's face. Gu Yun knew that he had encountered trouble this time.
"Hmph, kid, you're not bad, your strength is quite formidable! However, your luck seems to be rather bad!" Seeing Gu Yun suffer a setback, Li Mingxuan said with a sneer.
"Hmph, no matter what, I'm going to take you away today, don't even think about running away!" Gu Yun said in a deep voice. After saying that, Gu Yun pounced on Li Mingxuan, taking advantage of the fact that Li Mingxuan's attention was drawn to Gu Yun.
