Chapter 1499: The Ghost-Slaying Sword appears, another Land Immortal dies

~7 min read 1,238 words

Dorgon was one of Kangxi's trump cards.

His priority was also above Wutian's.

At least asking Dorgon to take action didn't require sacrificing his Empress.

Dorgon's complexion was extremely gloomy at this time.

He was naturally invited out by Xiaozhuang.

Originally, he was prepared to help Kangxi deal with Oubai.

However, Oubai not only didn't kill Kangxi, but instead saved him from the Honghua Society.

This made Dorgon decide to observe for a while longer.

As a result, he didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly.

From Gu Hanyuan's appearance to Oubai's death, and then to Kangxi being in imminent danger.

It would be too late if he didn't take action.

Even if it weren't for Wei Xiaobao's cleverness, Kangxi would already be dead.

Helpless, Dorgon had to sneak attack Gu Hanyuan.

However, what he never expected was.

Gu Hanyuan was actually this strong.

His own charged sneak attack was broken by the other party with just one Sword Qi.

And he was even injured because of it.

Dorgon was weaker than Gu Hanyuan had expected.

He was not even as good as the two Island Masters, Long and Mu, who had just broken through to the Land Immortal Realm on Xia Ke Island.

Dorgon was at most at the realm of a Half-Step Land Immortal.

However, Gu Hanyuan understood the cause and effect after a slight perception.

Dorgon was relying on the spiritual energy of the "Qing Ancestral Shrine" to continue his life.

His Land Immortal realm was also forcibly raised by the "Qing Ancestral Shrine."

Naturally, the further he was from the "Qing Ancestral Shrine," the weaker his strength would be.

The "Qing Ancestral Shrine," as a forbidden area of the palace, was naturally very far from the Imperial Study.

Therefore, Dorgon's strength weakened significantly, which was why he was injured by the move "Famous Throughout the World."

Dorgon also realized the reason for his weakening at this time.

For a moment, he somewhat regretted not listening to Huang Taiji's advice.

But since he had promised Xiaozhuang to protect Kangxi, he naturally had to do his best.

Moreover, it was too late to retreat even if he wanted to.

Dorgon searched for a way to defeat the enemy with a gloomy complexion.

Dorgon, who was a veteran of the battlefield, understood very well that defeating the enemy didn't necessarily require a head-on collision.

Even if he obviously couldn't beat Gu Hanyuan at this time, it didn't mean he couldn't protect Kangxi's life.

As long as he forced Gu Hanyuan to retreat.

Dorgon's eyes suddenly lit up.

He noticed Seeing Luo Bing, who, even though disguised, could not hide her charm and allure.

Dorgon, who had been watching from the shadows the whole time, saw Gu Hanyuan's interest in Seeing Luo Bing at a glance.

As long as he used Seeing Luo Bing as a hostage, it was not impossible to exchange for Gu Hanyuan's departure.

Dorgon thought and acted.

He leaped with his feet, pouncing towards Seeing Luo Bing like a roc spreading its wings.

Seeing Luo Bing never expected that she would suddenly become the target of a Land Immortal.

The oppressive feeling of a Land Immortal and Dorgon's battlefield murderous aura, which had killed countless enemies.

Stunned Seeing Luo Bing so that she couldn't move half a step.

The situation, which had finally turned for the better because of Gu Hanyuan's appearance, changed suddenly.

One could imagine the panic and depression in Seeing Luo Bing's heart.

She looked at Dorgon, who was getting closer and closer.

She could even see his ferocious expression and the texture of the armor plates on his Yellow Banner Master armor.

It seemed that she could not escape the fate of being caught by Dorgon.

However, her waist suddenly felt hot.

A hot, large hand suddenly stuck to her, pulling her back while a sharp, thin line crossed the sky, forcing the pouncing Dorgon back.

Gu Hanyuan's cold voice rang in her ear.

"You want to take a hostage in front of Gu? Dorgon, aren't you overestimating yourself too much?"

Dorgon had indeed overestimated himself and underestimated Gu Hanyuan's lightness skill.

Clearly, he was much closer to Seeing Luo Bing, but he was overtaken by Gu Hanyuan.

And he was even injured by him once again.

There was a long, narrow wound on Dorgon's palm hidden behind his back, deep enough to see the bone, and the wound was constantly bleeding.

If he hadn't withdrawn his hand in time, he would have been directly severed by Gu Hanyuan's "Gold-Splitting and Jade-Breaking."

After two short exchanges, Dorgon finally recognized the gap in strength between himself and Gu Hanyuan.

He said in a deep voice with a solemn expression:

"Jianghu rumors are indeed unreliable; the saying 'First Person Under the Land Sword Immortal' still underestimated Young Master Gu."

Once these words were spoken, the whole arena was in an uproar.

They didn't know the reason for Dorgon's poor performance.

They only saw Dorgon, a Land Immortal, suffer a great loss and get injured twice when exchanging moves with Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care about Dorgon's praise, nor did he care about everyone's reaction.

He said coldly:

"Dorgon, do you know that a dragon has a reverse scale, and touching it means death?"

Seeing Luo Bing, who was beside Gu Hanyuan and hadn't recovered from the surprise of being suddenly saved, immediately blushed.

She didn't know if the "reverse scale" in Gu Hanyuan's mouth referred to Dorgon's act of ignoring him and taking a hostage.

Or if it referred to herself, whose waist was being held by him.

She only felt that the large hand on her waist seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, so hot that her heart was trembling.

Seeing Luo Bing wanted to stay away from Gu Hanyuan.

But at this time, she was supporting the seriously injured and unconscious Wen Tailai, and for a moment, she was inconvenient to move.

Thinking of her husband, Seeing Luo Bing felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart.

Especially when she looked at Gu Hanyuan's handsome profile in a daze, this sense of guilt became even stronger.

Gu Hanyuan felt the fine, soft, and warm touch on his fingertips.

A subtle playfulness flashed in his eyes.

How could there be any reason to let go of such a moving beauty?

Although the saying of "reverse scale" was exaggerated.

But the prey he had taken a fancy to was also touched and died.

Dorgon only felt his scalp tingling and his whole body icy cold, as if his life was under serious threat at this moment.

His Qi had been completely locked by Gu Hanyuan.

It was too late to run away.

Dorgon could only exert all his internal power, which barely counted as a Land Immortal, and entrust his life and death to the gorgeous long blade in his hand.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he let go of Seeing Luo Bing, who was beside him and lost in thought.

He pinched the sword formula with one hand and held the Dragon-Slaying Sword pointing to the sky with the other.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword suddenly shone with emerald light, illuminating the entire Imperial Study as if it were a sunny day.

Gu Hanyuan floated his feet in the shocked gaze of everyone.

It was like an ancient immortal sound coming from the vastness. ===== CHAPTER 1501 =====
