Chapter 49: Threatening me? Killing Wei Hu

Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Wei Hu curled his lips in disdain, let out a cold snort from his nose, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"What a joke, stop spouting nonsense here! My Chan Sect expounds the Heavenly Dao, and everything we do is in accordance with the will of Heaven. Where is the sin? As for the twelve immortal leaders of my sect, although they have committed the killing calamity, this is the number of Heaven; how can you talk about harming the common people and implicating the innocent?"

Gu Xiu's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled indifferently.

"According to your words, then if we kill you now, it is also the number of Heaven, meaning you are destined to die here today, so you can't blame anyone?"

"Senior brother is right." Hong Jin echoed, seeing the other party being so arrogant, Hong Jin had long been unable to bear it.

"Wei Hu, you despicable people of the Chan Sect, you keep saying you follow the Heavenly Dao, but your actions are full of selfish desires. The number of Heaven indicates that you are destined to die here today!"

Being scolded to his face, Wei Hu's face sank.

"A mere two Jie Sect disciples dare to be presumptuous in front of me. Only my Chan Sect can expound the Heavenly Dao, and what my Chan Sect says is the number of Heaven. Do you Jie Sect 'fur-clad and horned' types deserve to expound the Heavenly Dao?"

"I, Wei Hu, will definitely let you know the consequences of angering me today!"

He swung the Pestle of Demon Subjugation in his hand, carrying the momentum of a mountain-toppling sea, and smashed it fiercely toward Gu Xiu with the power of thunder.

"Senior brother, be careful. The Pestle of Demon Subjugation in this guy's hand is incredibly powerful; you cannot let it hit you." Hong Jin warned, his voice somewhat urgent.

Gu Xiu looked up, his expression calm and composed: "A mere Pestle of Demon Subjugation, why fear it?"

Hong Jin was stunned. If he hadn't been riding the whale-dragon fast, he would have been smashed to death by the Pestle of Demon Subjugation long ago. Gu Xiu actually didn't take it seriously; was he that brave?

While he was in doubt.

Gu Xiu's Taiyi Golden Immortal aura erupted, carrying powerful pressure and force, bouncing the Pestle of Demon Subjugation back.

Seeing Gu Xiu's exposed cultivation, and that he had bounced back the Pestle of Demon Subjugation just by using magic power, Wei Hu was shocked.

"Taiyi Golden Immortal? Could it be that you are not a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect?"

The highest cultivation of the Jie Sect's third-generation disciples was Golden Immortal.

But most disciples were basically at the Profound Immortal level or below, and Wei Hu was a Profound Immortal. As long as he had the Pestle of Demon Subjugation in hand, he didn't fear any third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect at all. He didn't expect a Taiyi Golden Immortal to come.

Hong Jin was dumbfounded, his eyes full of doubt and astonishment.

He didn't expect Gu Xiu's cultivation to be so high. No wonder he had been so indifferent from beginning to end. Could it be some martial uncle?

Gu Xiu took in both of their expressions.

"Don't worry, I am indeed a third-generation disciple; there is no such thing as bullying the small with the big."

Gu Xiu said softly, his expression indifferent, his gaze as calm as water.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Detected that the host is fighting Wei Hu, triggering event options. Please make a choice."

"Option 1: Subdue Wei Hu and hand him over to the Dragon Clan for disposal. Reward: a top-grade spiritual treasure!"

"Option 2: Kill Wei Hu. Reward: Chaos Mist! (Covers the host with a layer of immortal mist that can conceal the secrets of Heaven, which even the Heavenly Dao cannot detect.)"

Looking at the options popped up by the system.

Option 1 was directly excluded. The Dragon Clan was in decline; even if he handed Wei Hu over, the Dragon Clan wouldn't dare do anything to him. Although a top-grade magic treasure was tempting, it wasn't worth looking at in front of the Chaos Mist that could conceal the secrets of Heaven.

"System, I choose Option 2."

After the selection was successful, Gu Xiu looked at Wei Hu with cold eyes, his intense killing intent undisguised.

The moment he made contact with this gaze, Wei Hu felt a cold, bone-chilling, and suffocating pressure rushing toward him, making him feel fear and unable to help but take a few steps back.

But Chan Sect disciples were so arrogant and conceited; realizing that he had been cowardly for a moment made Wei Hu very angry.

"A mere Jie Sect thief, to make me lose my composure like this, I want you to die! So what if you are a Taiyi Golden Immortal? I don't believe you dare to catch the Pestle of Demon Subjugation!"

Saying this, Wei Hu sacrificed the Pestle of Demon Subjugation again, which instantly radiated brilliant golden light, like a scorching sun, making it impossible to look directly at it. The runes on the pestle shone with mysterious light, as if containing endless power.

The Pestle of Demon Subjugation was an offensive magic treasure, which was also why Wei Hu had achieved excellent results in the Investiture of the Gods and was the reason for his confidence.

But he never expected that Gu Xiu's eyes would shoot out two rays of divine light!

"What!"

Wei Hu was shocked and hurriedly retracted the Pestle of Demon Subjugation to dodge.

But Gu Xiu had already summoned the Southern Brightness Li Fire, which, like countless fire snakes, pounced toward Wei Hu with bared fangs and brandished claws, instantly swallowing him in a sea of fire.

Wei Hu let out a shrill scream, wanting to extinguish the fire on his body, but found that the white flames could not be extinguished no matter what, so he had to use his Chan Sect identity to threaten Gu Xiu.

"I am a Chan Sect disciple. If you dare to kill me, my master will not let you off!"

"I remember your master is Dao Xing Tianzun, right? Don't worry, when I kill him, I will tell him that you were killed by me." Gu Xiu's voice was cold and indifferent.

"You, you bastard!" Wei Hu was furious; he never thought that a Jie Sect disciple would be so bold as to really dare to kill him.

Facing the insults, Gu Xiu smiled.

"By the way, in this life, I hate people threatening me the most."

Saying this, he summoned a few more clusters of Southern Brightness Li Fire, increasing the firepower. The surroundings crackled and popped, and the terrifying high temperature seemed to be melting the surrounding space.

Under the scorching of the Southern Brightness Li Fire, Wei Hu's Profound Immortal body could no longer hold up and began to melt.

"Jie Sect thief, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!" Wei Hu struggled and roared in the sea of fire.

Gu Xiu just watched coldly, without a hint of pity in his eyes.

As he increased the firepower, amidst the screams and unwillingness, Wei Hu soon turned into ashes.

Seeing the Pestle of Demon Subjugation that had fallen to the ground, Gu Xiu went up to pick it up and took a look.

"Dao Xing Tianzun's town-cave treasure, it's a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, not bad. I'll put it away first and use it after the Investiture of the Gods is over."

"Ding!"

"The host successfully killed Wei Hu, the mission is completed, reward: Chaos Mist!"

After receiving the reward, Gu Xiu was covered by a group of immortal mist, and his figure disappeared.

Hong Jin was dumbfounded on the side.

He just wanted to teach Wei Hu a lesson, but he didn't expect Gu Xiu's methods to be so cruel that he killed the person.

"Senior brother, Wei Hu is a direct third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. Will it be okay if we kill him?"

Gu Xiu turned around: "Junior brother, Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know. If you want to live, don't talk about it."

"Senior brother, don't worry, I have always kept my mouth shut and will not tell anyone about this." Hong Jin promised solemnly.

Gu Xiu nodded. Even if Hong Jin told anyone, it wouldn't matter; it would just cause some extra trouble.

But Hong Jin was an accomplice in this matter, so he believed he would keep it buried in his stomach.

Next, the two went to the cave where Wei Hu had stayed. A pile of exotic beast carcasses were unbearable to look at, all gutted and their hearts and livers removed.

There was also a true dragon whose heart and liver had been removed, and its dragon tendons had been pulled out.

Gu Xiu set a fire and burned it all away. ===== CHAPTER 50 =====
