Chapter 745

He had previously wondered about those outlandish tales of Gu Gu Hanyuan.

After seeking confirmation from many sources.

He confirmed they were true.

He held Gu Gu Hanyuan in great awe.

If not for Shi Potian, who was extremely loyal to him.

He would not have spoken up to advise.

Gu Gu Hanyuan did not give Zhang San face.

A sidelong glance.

He said in a contemptuous tone:

"Are you trying to tell Gu Mou what to do?"

That cold gaze made Zhang San shudder.

His heart pounded wildly.

He stammered:

"This…"

Just as Zhang San was at a loss.

A palm landed on his shoulder.

"Forget it, Zhang San. Don't clash with Young Master Gu."

It turned out Zhao Da and Qian Er had arrived at some unknown point.

They had been calmly watching the show.

When Zhang San suddenly confronted Gu Gu Hanyuan.

They hurried over to talk him down.

Zhang San's expression was hesitant as he said:

"But…"

Zhao Da whispered into Zhang San's ear:

"The day before yesterday, Qian Er and I crossed hands with Young Master Gu — we couldn't last a single exchange against him. Young Master Gu's strength is even greater than the rumors say."

His words were full of wariness.

Zhang San's eyes flickered for a moment upon hearing this.

He gave up dejectedly, saying:

"Sigh, third brother, your big brother can't help you this time."

Shi Potian saw Zhang San's look of wanting to speak yet holding back.

He asked in confusion:

"Big brother, what's going on?"

His instinct told him Zhang San suddenly lowering his guard had something to do with Gu Gu Hanyuan.

The displeasure in his heart grew even more.

Gu Gu Hanyuan paid no further heed to Zhang San's reaction.

He said indifferently:

"Shi Zhongyu, since we've run into each other here, I'll capture you once more."

Before Shi Potian could explain.

He saw Gu Gu Hanyuan strike with a palm.

He instinctively channeled the "Arhat Subduing Demons Divine Art" to meet the blow.

The two palms clashed.

Shi Potian felt a tremendous force surge toward him.

It was the first time his internal energy had been crushed by someone.

He nearly went flying backward.

Leaving a trail of deep footprints in the ground as he slid back.

Only barely coming to a stop.

Suppressing the surging of his qi and blood.

He stared in horror at the composed Gu Gu Hanyuan.

The watching crowd was greatly shocked.

They had previously seen Shi Potian effortlessly counter Ding Bu San and Ding Bu Si with a lift of his hand.

Which had already made everyone marvel at how profound his Internal Arts were despite his young age.

Yet Gu Gu Hanyuan, with the lightest touch, had made Shi Potian unable to cope.

Making his own might seem all the more unmatched.

Gu Gu Hanyuan put on a look of surprise and said:

"So your skill has greatly advanced — that's why you dare act so brazenly."

The brief exchange had already confirmed Shi Potian's strength.

A peak Grandmaster cultivation base.

With one foot already over the threshold of Great Grandmaster.

Not only because he had luckily obtained one opportunity after another.

But also because his nature was simple and honest.

It was very much like the mind of a newborn.

That was why his state of mind had almost never encountered a bottleneck.

Only then could he possess such a cultivation base in such a short time.

Unfortunately, the current Shi Potian had already, because of Gu Gu Hanyuan's repeated maneuvers,

left a crack in his state of mind.

It was already impossible for his cultivation base to advance by leaps and bounds as before.

"But you still underestimate Gu Mou too much."

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled faintly and indifferently.

He struck out once more.

He did not use the Three Absolutes.

What he used instead was "Mount Tianshan Plum-Plucking Hand."

Although Shi Potian's internal energy was profound,

his moves were terribly crude.

If it were a head-on clash, he might still have some capacity to resist.

But facing the exquisite grappling art of "Mount Tianshan Plum-Plucking Hand,"

he was instantly at a loss.

Like a monkey being toyed with, he floundered left and right.

Under the strange gazes of the crowd,

Shi Potian was very quickly captured by Gu Gu Hanyuan.

To avoid trouble,

he directly sealed the major acupoints all over his body.

Not only was he unable to open his mouth and speak,

even moving a single bit was a struggle.
