Chapter 229: Battle of the Divine Kings

"Gu Yu, when have I ever betrayed the Gu clan? Don't spout blood here!" Gu Yun shouted angrily, still wanting to struggle.

Gu Yu remained silent, but Gu Xin's icy voice echoed through heaven and earth, reaching Gu Yun's ears: "Now that it's come to this, do you still want to deny it?"

Gu Yun listening, couldn't help but be stunned.

He had thought that only Gu Yu, for some unknown reason, knew of his betrayal of the Gu clan; but as it turns out, both of them now know.

After thinking, Gu Yun said: "Deny? What do I need to deny? Gu Xin, don't be fooled by Gu Yu; his behavior clearly shows he has betrayed the Gu clan and wants to get rid of me."

Gu Yun won't turn back unless he's at a dead end.

Even now he still wants to turn the tables.

He's betting that Gu Xin doesn't know about this.

It's only because he listened to Gu Yu's words that he's acting this way.

Gu Xin smiled and said: "Gu Yun, you're really something; even at this point you're still trying to slander Gu Yu. So tell me, where did the three people who followed you go?"

"Don't try to say you were killed by the soul beasts on Douluo Star, and yet you dare to come looking for a first-level god of the Divine Realm—you must be clear about your own strength, right?"

Gu Yun's heart sank; he had merely thought that the two of them had found this world weak, but now it seems confirmed.

However, Gu Yun couldn't figure it out.

He could tell that it was because he was oppressed by the Evil-Eye Tyrant, and there were three people loyal to the Gu clan there testing the waters for him.

Gu Yu and Gu Xin, logically speaking.

Should not be in the same situation as them.

Without hesitation, Gu Yun uttered the excuse he had prepared: "Don't think wildly; the three who followed me met with mishap because she took advantage of my inattention, and now I just want to deal with her."

God of Angels:???

What the hell is this situation?

She only felt as if ten thousand fucking horses were trampling her chest.

How did the pot get shoved onto her for no reason?

She's just a lowly first-level god.

How could she possibly kill three first-level gods?

Gu Xin smirked contemptuously: "Just because of her, she thinks she can kill three people?"

The God of Angels suddenly felt insulted.

There was a feeling of anger from being looked down upon.

"Exactly! She killed three of them; you two shouldn't underestimate her—she's the strongest three-star Fighting Venerable I've ever seen, bar none." Gu Yun said firmly.

The God of Angels felt a chill run through her body.

She suddenly felt that being looked down upon wasn't so bad.

The God of Angels now didn't dare say a word.

After all, if she exposed Gu Yun, she would die immediately.

Gu Xin coldly stared at Gu Yun and said in a low voice: "Then may I ask, where did she and the three of them clash? Experts of the same level fighting would surely leave some trace of battle, wouldn't they?"

Gu Yun's expression stiffened, but then quickly passed as he said: "Battle traces? What battle traces could there be on the sea surface? Besides, I just said she's the strongest three-star Fighting Venerable I've ever seen; I let her run from the sea to here, barely managing to catch her."

Gu Xin couldn't help but sneer: "Really, that's quite a stretch—so much so that I and Gu Yu actually found their bones on another continent."

At first, Gu Xin's voice was full of mockery, but later it grew colder and colder, so much that even the God of Angels, a first-level god, felt a chill run through her body.

Gu Yun:!!!

He was truly dumbfounded at this moment.

He never expected Gu Xin and Gu Yu.

To actually have found those three's bones.

Logically speaking, this should be impossible.

Once those three die, the soul beasts will surely devour their corpses!

After all, those are the corpses of first-level gods.

Even if ordinary soul beasts can't digest or gnaw the corpses, ten-thousand-year soul beasts will definitely be able to and will surely go devour them.

"Alright, Gu Yun, if you surrender now, perhaps out of old times I can leave you a whole corpse." Gu Yu's icy, bone-chilling voice echoed through heaven and earth again.

Gu Yun looked warily at Gu Yu and said: "Gu Yu, although you're stronger than me and even have two people, don't forget that the place we're in now isn't our original world, and the Divine Realm still has five experts of our level who will descend."

In the former Dou Qi world, at this point Gu Yun could say he was surely doomed to die; even if he tried to run, he couldn't escape the pursuit of Gu Yu and Gu Xin.

But is this the Dou Qi world?

Once they start fighting,

the consumption will surely be enormous.

When the Divine Realm descends, they will surely die.

Therefore, Gu Yun currently doesn't want to fight to the death.

He just wants to quietly wait for the Divine Realm's descent.

Finally, follow the Five Great Divine Kings to overwhelm Gu Yu and Gu Xin.

…

…

Divine Realm Committee.

"What do you all think? When they start fighting later, should we take the opportunity to descend to the Lower Realm?" The God of Evil spoke up again first.

The Asura God, who only wants the Five Elements Array, said: "Since he has already chosen to ally with the Divine Realm, he is the Sixth Divine King of the Divine Realm; how could we stand by and do nothing?"

The God of Kindness still held the opposing view: "What if they're just acting? If we go down and take the risk, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Asura God said: "Then let's watch; when they've fought to near exhaustion and their consumption is great, we'll go down and play the mantis stalking the cicada."

The God of Kindness had no more words.

The God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life also stopped speaking.

…

…

Douluo Star.

The auras of three God‑king‑level powerhouses converged.

In an instant, everyone on the entire continent and all Soul Beasts felt an indescribable pressure, all feeling dazed, as if something major were about to happen.

However, the Title Douluo felt it most strongly.

"Dad, what on earth is going on?" Ning Rongrong felt a heavy weight in her heart; she couldn't help but look up at the sky, and at the same time she set down all the information she held about Bai Yuan and Bai Di.

Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Gu Rong stood in the void, their expressions extremely solemn as they gazed toward the farthest reaches of the sky.

Because their perception was stronger than that of ordinary people.

Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Gu Rong only felt as if a sword had appeared above their heads, a sword that could fall at any moment.

And once that sword fell,

they would have no chance to escape.

At that moment, awakened by Ning Rongrong's voice, Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Gu Rong hesitated not, using soul power to lift him, and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ning Fengzhi knew that something major had happened on the Douluo Continent.

Only one person could possibly offer them refuge.

That person was Bai Yuan in the Star Dou Great Forest.

That's right; because of Qian Renxue, everyone now knows Bai Yuan is still alive—he did not truly die.

…

…

"Gu Yu, are you really going to make a move? You'd better consider the price we'll pay if we do!" Gu Yun's voice was icy; in the clash of auras, he found himself at an absolute disadvantage.

In the God of Angels' heart, only despair remained.

Just a moment ago everything was fine; I had completed the Five Great Divine Kings' task and wouldn't be punished by the divine realm, yet the next moment I was forced to watch the God‑king battle up close.
