Chapter 710

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s "Dragon-Capturing Skill" stunned everyone present.

The momentum of those dozens of martial artists weakened instantly, and they could only watch helplessly as Gu Gu Hanyuan rescued A Fei.

The leader among these people was none other than Bai Bai Xiaosheng, the one who compiled the "Weapon Manual."

He had felt a deep sense of foreboding the moment he saw Gu Gu Hanyuan.

With Gu Gu Hanyuan on the scene,

no matter how thorough their plans were, the final outcome would depend on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s mood.

Let alone A Fei, who had been framed as the Plum Blossom Thief;

even if the real Plum Blossom Thief were here, if Gu Gu Hanyuan wanted to protect him, no one would have any way to stop it.

This was the impact caused by a massive gap in strength.

Of course, the gap in status was the same.

He didn't even dare to pin the stigma of the Plum Blossom Thief on Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Otherwise, even if Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't kill him personally, he would undoubtedly die.

After all, there were plenty of people willing to take his head to curry favor with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing that Gu Gu Hanyuan and A Fei had a friendship,

Bai Bai Xiaosheng’s first thought was to gloss over the matter of slandering A Fei and escape unscathed.

However, before he could think of a reasonable excuse to retreat without losing face,

a hot-headed youth beside him shouted coldly:

"And who are you? How dare you shield the Plum Blossom Thief!"

Hearing this, Bai Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly distanced himself from this idiot, fearing he would be implicated.

This hot-headed youth was not very old; he was You You Longsheng, son of Old Man Canglong and disciple of Tianshan Tianshan Xueyingzi.

Both Old Man Canglong and Tianshan Tianshan Xueyingzi were grandmaster-level experts of the older generation.

Such a background allowed You You Longsheng to act recklessly after he debuted.

Coupled with his "Emotion-Seizing Sword Art" and the Emotion-Seizing Sword, which was only slightly inferior to a divine weapon,

he was considered a young expert who had risen to fame in recent years.

Young experts who achieve fame early inevitably have a common flaw: arrogance.

Even after witnessing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s miraculous "Dragon-Capturing Skill," he didn't feel he was any worse than the other party.

After all, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s young, handsome appearance, which was enough to make one jealous, was too deceptive.

Of course, more importantly, You You Longsheng was deeply infatuated with Lin Xian'er and was completely bewitched.

But ever since Lin Xian'er appeared alongside Gu Gu Hanyuan, her eyes had never left him.

Especially when she saw Gu Gu Hanyuan use the "Dragon-Capturing Skill" to save A Fei, her eyes were filled with undisguised admiration.

This immediately made You You Longsheng so jealous that he lost his reason, and he shouted the question regardless of the consequences.

Gu Gu Hanyuan glanced at You You Longsheng and said indifferently:

"Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to Gu Mou like that?"

The people in Wu Xingyun Manor knew this all too well.

Zhao Zhao Zhengyi, whose eyes had been completely destroyed, was still receiving treatment.

After all, such severe injuries could be fatal if not treated properly.

Excessive blood loss and infected wounds could both take a life.

Ba Ying, who was originally Long Long Xiaoyun’s lackey, seemed to have a tendency to switch allegiances.

He was the first to step forward and shout:

"Presumptuous! How dare you be disrespectful to Young Master Gu!"

Long Long Xiaoyun also spoke up at the right time to introduce him:

"This is Young Master Gu, the 'Three-Absolute Sword Immortal,' who is now my daughter's master and is staying at Wu Xingyun Manor temporarily."

Long Long Xiaoyun really knew how to seize an opportunity.

He immediately tried to show everyone the relationship between himself and Gu Gu Hanyuan.

After all, if they had Gu Gu Hanyuan’s protection, it would be easy for Wu Xingyun Manor to become the number one power in the Northwest Wu Lin.

Regardless of whether Gu Gu Hanyuan admitted it or whether his green robe would become even greener,

at least what he said at this moment was the truth.

With Long Long Xiaoyun present, Gu Gu Hanyuan would not refute him to his face.

Long Long Xiaoyun could then use Gu Gu Hanyuan’s prestige to get things done.

With the help of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s prestige, dealing with Li Li Xunhuan would be much easier.

Sure enough, Gu Gu Hanyuan just glanced at Long Long Xiaoyun and ignored him thereafter.

You You Longsheng, however, was greatly shocked.

How could he not know of Gu Gu Hanyuan’s great reputation?

But it must be said, once a person is used to being arrogant, they lose the ability to see themselves clearly.

Just like how he provoked Li Li Xunhuan and A Fei several times in the original story.

He fought repeatedly and lost repeatedly, yet he remained arrogant and condescending.

Therefore, although You You Longsheng was somewhat afraid, he was even more unwilling to lose face in front of Lin Xian'er.

He looked at Lin Xian'er, whose attention was entirely on Gu Gu Hanyuan, and said with burning jealousy:

"So what? Others may fear you, but I, You You Longsheng, do not!"

Gu Gu Hanyuan curled his lips into a look of contempt.

He said indifferently:

"Should I say you have commendable courage? Or that you are a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger? Perhaps it is just pure ignorance? Gu Mou will not bully you with cultivation; as long as you can take one palm from Gu Mou with my cultivation suppressed, Gu Mou will not hold it against you."

He paused.

He said gently to Long Long Xiaoyun:

"This happens to be a technique I will teach you later. Watch carefully."

Long Long Xiaoyun’s beautiful eyes shone, and she replied happily:

"Yes! Master."

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at the You You Longsheng who was acting as if facing a great enemy, and raised a palm to strike down from above.

"Cloud-Plummeting Palm."

An incomparable force of qi, descending from above, transformed into a giant palm and crushed toward You You Longsheng.

You You Longsheng’s response was actually correct.

He thrust his sword with all his might toward the very center of the palm force, attempting to break the surface with a single point.

Palm techniques are most countered by this method; as long as it is pierced, the palm power will dissipate into nothing.

However, this also depends on the situation.

The power of the "Cloud-Plummeting Palm" was far superior to You You Longsheng’s "Emotion-Seizing Sword Art," and the gap in their realms was as vast as a chasm.

Even though Gu Gu Hanyuan did not bully You You Longsheng with his cultivation, the difference in the power of their internal energy was still there.

You You Longsheng’s Emotion-Seizing Sword shattered into pieces, and the residual palm force instantly broke his bones and tendons, killing him on the spot.

Gu Gu Hanyuan retracted his palm and dropped two words indifferently.

"Boring."

Looking at You You Longsheng’s corpse, which was like a pile of mud, everyone was terrified.

Gu Gu Hanyuan used the palm that had just killed You You Longsheng to gently stroke Long Long Xiaoyun’s little head, and said gently:

"Did you see clearly?"

Long Long Xiaoyun said with some disappointment:

"No."

Gu Gu Hanyuan said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, I will teach you slowly later."

Long Long Xiaoyun was incredibly excited.

As for whether she was excited about learning such a powerful martial art or excited about Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gentleness toward her, only she knew.

In any case, in her heart, Gu Gu Hanyuan’s status was rising infinitely.

Lin Lin Shiyin looked at the intimately interacting Gu Gu Hanyuan and Long Long Xiaoyun with a pleased expression.

Because the situation developed too quickly and Gu Gu Hanyuan had taken the initiative,

she had momentarily forgotten to look at Li Li Xunhuan, whom she had originally cared about deeply.

And Li Li Xunhuan happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again, his thoughts becoming increasingly inexplicable.

Lin Xian'er saw Gu Gu Hanyuan display such divine might, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, her emotions instantly overflowing.

As for the death of You You Longsheng, a former suitor, it was completely cast to the back of her mind.

Lin Xian'er’s gaze toward Gu Gu Hanyuan became increasingly greedy.

Sun Xiaohong clicked her tongue secretly:

"Did this You You Longsheng just die like that? I spoke ill of Young Master Gu before, and he didn't hold it against me."

Thinking this, Sun Xiaohong felt a strange sense of pride in her heart.

Thinking that Gu Gu Hanyuan had once praised her for being pretty, a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face.

She no longer cared so much about Lin Lin Shiyin and Lin Xian'er.
