Chapter 143

Gu Chen’s gaze was cold, and a cold light flickered on the blade of the long sword in his hand.

Powerful aura surged from within his body. Standing on the city wall, he pointed his sword at the god, his clothes fluttering like an immortal swordsman.

The god was stunned for a moment.

Fast.

Gu Chen’s sword was too fast.

So fast that even as a god, he almost didn’t have time to react.

But when he heard Gu Chen’s words, the god felt he had been provoked.

He immediately scolded: “Presumptuous! A mere ant, daring to threaten a god!”

“Since you are stubborn, then wait for the world to be plunged into misery!” The god laughed loudly, standing right where he was.

Countless black mists, seemingly possessing intelligence, had arrived, continuously crossing that thousand-meter-long chasm.

“Damn it, this immortal is not a pushover either!”

Cloud Retainer was furious.

Immortal power flowed, and with a flap of her wings, she stirred up a gale.

The gale swirled, every wisp of wind like a steel blade. Groups of black mist were shredded by the wind blades, emitting heart-wrenching wails and venomous curses.

[Klee]: Klee doesn’t understand. Aren’t gods supposed to love people? Why are they attacking the place where Big Brother is? (Klee. Aggrieved)

[Jean]: Gods do indeed bear the responsibility of loving people, but gods have vastly different personalities. Moreover, they are fighting for control of this continent. The humans they love are only the humans under their own protection. They will fight for humans under other gods’ protection, but it is not necessary for them to do so.

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: Gods all love the subjects under their rule, even I am the same. After all, there is no spare energy to care for those under others. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli. Drinks tea)

[Venti]: It has to be Brother Gu. Look, is this sword strike handsome?

[Kaeya]: This strike is so fast. The god didn’t seem to have time to react. What would happen if this strike landed on that god?

[Venti]: It’s hard to say. After all, I haven’t experienced it personally, so I don’t know how strong Brother Gu’s strike is. I can only say... it is very likely that he could break that god’s defense, but it would be hard to kill him with just one strike. And this isn’t the key!

[Shikanoin Heizou]: I understand this point. The key is that we don’t know if the Sect Leader in this life has the ability to purify the lingering hatred of gods, or if he can prevent the birth of lingering hatred when a god falls!

[Venti]: Correct. It seems we have many wind-element talents here. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli. Dragon King crooked mouth)

[Kaeya]: What is this move called? @[Gu Chen]

[Gu Chen]: Hard to say. You can call it ‘Sword Draw Slash’. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli. Dragon King crooked mouth)

[Kaeya]: Very handsome. I’m going to practice this move. (Funny)

[Venti]: I suggest you discard your Cryo Vision and come to believe in the Wind, embrace the Wind! That way, you will have the speed boost of the Wind. (Funny)

[Kaeya]: I’m already cultivating immortality, why would I still use a Vision? (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli. Dragon King crooked mouth)

“Kill!”

“Protect our home!”

The Millelith of this era had not yet developed to its peak.

But it already had the shadow of a powerful army.

They looked determined, holding weapons and fighting against the strange evil spirits.

Cloud Retainer was actually not particularly good at fighting.

Seeing this, she simply infused a portion of her immortal power into the Millelith.

The Millelith’s morale was greatly boosted, and for a time, they blocked the torrent of evil spirits from advancing even an inch on the city wall.

“Hmph!”

The god snorted coldly.

He knew that if he didn’t make a move, Cloud Retainer and the other immortals could also block the evil spirits.

Although it would be a bitter battle, the hope of victory was very high.

Moreover, there was another strong one.

The god’s gaze fell on Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t make a move, quietly staring at the god.

“Those who know the times are heroes.” The god said in a deep voice.

“I eat the lord’s salary, I do the lord’s work. Betraying when encountering danger—how can such a person be trusted?”

Gu Chen shook his head, then added: “Either fight, or retreat. Other than that, you have no choice.”

“Unappreciative!”

The god was furious.

A giant hand made of stone reached out to grab Gu Chen.

Under the immense pressure, not a trace of panic appeared on Gu Chen’s face.

Gu Chen leaped up and stood in mid-air.

He put away the scabbard and held the long sword in his right hand, slashing down vertically.

A sharp sword light, as if it could cut through everything.

Boom!

The sword energy slashed down onto the god’s body.

A terrifying sword scar was left on the body made of stone.

The god was extremely annoyed.

As a god, he was incredibly powerful, yet now he had been injured by a human.

With anger, he threw a punch at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen flashed and dodged, but the moment he dodged, a stone hand had already grabbed over.

Ding!

The tip of the sword tapped on the palm, and the counter-shock force made Gu Chen retreat and dodge.

Relying on flexible dodging and shifting, the god’s moves appeared very clumsy and difficult to catch Gu Chen.

The more this happened, the more annoyed the god became.

Unknowingly, he had been lured thousands of meters away by Gu Chen.

Only then did the god come to his senses, grinning coldly: “Almost fell for your trick, hahaha. If I take everyone in the city to threaten you, how would you respond?!”

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed toward the city.

“Then how would you respond to this strike?”

Gu Chen’s expression was indifferent. He thrust out the long sword, and the flickering sword light grew with the wind.

A terrifying sword energy suddenly appeared in mid-air and crashed down.

The god was horrified; it was too late to dodge. He operated his powerful strength to resist it head-on.

The gale swirled, sand and gravel were blown up, and the grass and trees in the mountains seemed to be pierced by blades in the gale.

The ground was filled with sword scars.

Only when the wind and sand dissipated a little could one see that the god, who already had a sword scar, was in an even more miserable state.

His hundred-meter-tall giant body had its shoulder almost cut off, and an arm had already been severed.

“Damn thing!”

The crazed god’s eyes were splitting, angry to the extreme.

“You have successfully angered me!”

“Tell me, what is this move called?”

The god’s expression was ferocious, and the thick murderous intent made the air sticky, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Gu Chen stood in mid-air.

His expression didn’t change, only saying faintly: “Comprehended from the Nameless Sword Scripture, named Sword One—River Breaker.”

“Sword One... Very good. A mortal body injuring a god, you can be considered to have left your name in history.”

“This is already your limit, right?”

“Now, die here!”

The aura on the god’s body surged.

His movements accelerated, and the terrifying power seemed to seal off the world, giving Gu Chen no space to dodge.

“Careful!”

The aura on the demon god surged violently.

Its movements accelerated, and the terrifying power seemed to seal off the very heavens and earth, leaving Gu Chen no room to dodge or maneuver.

"Careful!"
