428. Chapter 428: Battle!

As the old woman's words were spoken, everyone's gaze fell upon that elder of the Gu Family.

I have to admit, the situation at this moment is somewhat ridiculous.

Both sides were white-haired elders, yet one of them was called a brat.

The elder let out a cold snort, his eyes showing displeasure.

"How so, not convinced?"

The old woman laughed: "When I achieved the Supreme rank, you brat were still a wet-nosed little punk."

"And what of it?"

The Gu Family elder said: "Wan Lin, your era has long passed; even you, after that great battle, how much strength do you have left now?"

He had also made some mental preparations for the old woman's arrival, after all, this is Rebel Army territory.

I have to admit, Wan Lin at her peak was far stronger than him, being a Level Three Supreme, but in that battle decades ago, almost all of the Rebel Army's Supremes perished, and even the few who survived were gravely injured.

That is one point.

Secondly, this time he also brought a seventh-grade high-level treasure called the Thunder Spear; after using it, its power is not much less than the strongest strike of a Level Three Supreme.

It's not that he didn't want to bring a more powerful treasure, but this one is already the Gu Family's second-strongest treasure; the strongest one cannot be used unless the Gu Family faces a life-or-death crisis.

As for Wan Lin, as previously said, that battle was too dangerous; even those who survived were seriously injured, so it's easy to imagine that her treasures were also damaged at that time.

In summary, he felt he had the strength for one battle, and even could kill his opponent!

Gu Dechang had mediocre talent and never reached the Supreme realm in his life; after great difficulty he had two promising sons, but they turned out to be utterly lacking in manners, actually addressing their elders by name.

The old woman shook her head repeatedly, her eyes full of disappointment.

"Alright."

The elder interrupted him: "I didn't come here to chitchat; for your sake, as long as you return our Gu Family's Calming Spirit Pearl, hand over that brat and his family to us, you may take the others away."

"Great-granduncle?"

Gu Tianyuan beside him showed a look of unwillingness.

"Shut up."

The elder spat out two words.

"Master, Jiang Xiao Brother is very important to us, and we have already promised him, we cannot go back on our word." At this, Chu Feng also hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, Big Chief." Qin Lao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"You really treat the old lady like a fool."

The old woman glanced at them, then pointed at the Gu Family elder and said: "Don't look at his young age; his thoughts are malicious. By saying this, he's just probing my true strength—if I really agreed to him, he would immediately attack us."

Upon hearing this, the elder's eyes flashed with a strange look.

Indeed, that is exactly what he was thinking.

If he could kill Wan Lin, although she is a Supreme from a previous era, she is still a Supreme; after killing her, the entire Inner City District would have to look at his Gu Family with new eyes.

"Brat, since you gave me a choice, I'll give you one too: now, take your lackeys and leave, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"Impossible."

The elder spat out three words, killing intent also spreading in his eyes.

"Fine, it seems you will have to fight me today no matter what."

Wan Lin's voice also turned cold.

"Not bad."

The elder glanced at Jiang Cheng: "I know this brat is stalling for time, waiting for you to come, but I didn't expose him because I wanted to wait for you to arrive and capture all of you rebels in one net."

Having said that, a spear over two meters long appeared in his hand, lightning constantly flashing on the spear, flowing from the tip to the shaft.

"Thunder Spear?"

The old woman immediately recognized the spear's origin, her expression turning a bit more solemn: "No wonder you dare to fight me; it turns out you have some backing."

"Exactly!"

The elder suddenly pointed the spear at the old woman, his white hair flying.

"Wan Lin, I'll give you one last chance: surrender quietly, or don't blame me for being ruthless—I'll slaughter all of you here!"

The Gu Family members watched, their hearts surging.

This is the strength of our own ancestor! Even if the opponent is a Supreme, so what?

The pilots of the hundreds of mechs around them also felt envy from the bottom of their hearts.

Is this what a Supreme with power inherent to oneself looks like? Indeed, if there are mechs that can rival Grandmasters, naturally there are also mechs that can rival Supremes.

However, such mechs are usually hundreds or even thousands of meters tall, not very agile; in a true one-on-one, they might not necessarily be a match for a Supreme.

"These youngsters these days really have no respect for anyone."

The old woman sighed: "Alright then, since that's the case, today I'll teach you a lesson on why one should respect elders."

As her words fell, a small sword appeared in her palm.

It is a blood-red sword, less than ten centimeters long; most surprising of all, this sword is actually a broken sword! "Hahahaha."

A burst of loud laughter erupted around them.

Gu Tianyuan and the others looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Is this old lady crazy? Actually using a damaged treasure?

"Who are you looking down on?" "Older Brother Chen, this time I need your help again."

The old woman's eyes grew sorrowful as she spoke to the broken sword in her hand.

"Playing tricks!"

The Gu Family elder's patience had run out, and he shouted loudly.

Die!

In an instant, countless thunderbolts as thick as thighs roared from the tip of the thunder spear, charging toward the old woman.

The blinding lightning almost made people unable to open their eyes.

Inside the dozens of mechs in the distance, alarms simultaneously blared, for if this lightning were to fully erupt, not only would Jiang Cheng and the others be affected, but even they themselves would be caught in the explosion's aftermath.

A comical scene appeared.

The mech pilots originally from the Gu Family side, who had been watching the spectacle, ended up becoming the melon themselves as they watched, their faces showing despair and terror; those with quick wits and fast reflexes hastily pressed buttons to make their mechs fly upward.

Inwardly, they cursed the Gu Family people for being utterly vicious!

Slash!

Just then, a stern shout rang out.

A gorgeous flash of blade light instantly obliterated all the lightning.

No!

The Gu Family patriarch let out a hysterical roar, and the thunder spear in his hand was simultaneously chopped in half.

This wasn't over yet.

Along with the dozens of mechs ahead, they were also severed in an instant.

Boom—boom—boom!!!

A tremendous explosion sounded, like a gorgeous fireworks display.

Not only Jiang Cheng, but even Chu Feng was utterly stunned by the sight before them. (End of chapter)
