Chapter 312: The Decisive Battle (Part 2)

"Sir, the situation is unfavorable, we will cover your retreat!"

Green Dragon and White Tiger guarded Gu Yuanzong on the left and right.

Gu Yuanzong turned his head to look; Luo Lin had already led people charging over.

Luo Lin did not look at Gu Yuanzong at first glance, but instead cast her gaze in the direction of Chen Che.

It could be seen that Chen Che was clutching his chest, standing up unsteadily, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood, he squatted back down.

What shocked Luo Lin the most was Chen Che's face, a face about to be covered in spiderweb-like blood vessels!

It seemed his condition was even more serious than imagined; this was terrible!

Before coming to Jinling, Wu Qingkui had given repeated instructions to ensure Chen Che's safety, and for this, any other matter could be ignored.

The importance Wu Qingkui placed on Chen Che made even Luo Lin marvel; how could she let anything happen to Chen Che at this moment?

However, she had no way to rush up immediately to check on Chen Che's condition.

Gu Yuanzong was at the Heavenly Master realm, and he had two Protectors at the peak of the Earth Master realm by his side; most importantly, they were too close to Chen Che.

If she rushed over rashly, Gu Yuanzong would likely launch an attack on Chen Che to use him as leverage.

"Gu Yuanzong, the Sovereign already knows about the things you have done. Those families in Beijing are currently unable to look after themselves and will not care whether you live or die."

Luo Lin looked at Gu Yuanzong and said calmly.

Gu Yuanzong gave a cold snort: "I have never relied on others, and I will never accept my fate!"

"Now, it is no longer up to you."

As Luo Lin's voice fell, a black heavy-duty truck stopped outside the Gu Family courtyard, the dump bed opened, and a device resembling an antenna slowly rose up.

"This thing is called an Energy Field Shield. Once activated, within a radius of fifty meters, no Martial Artist can release True Qi; even if you are at the Heavenly Master realm, it is useless."

Luo Lin stepped forward, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared at Gu Yuanzong, "Old Gu, if you give up resistance and return to Beijing with me, the Sovereign can consider sparing your life."

"Spare my life? That woman wants to find a breakthrough from me to deal with those few families, right? What a beautiful thought!"

Gu Yuanzong stood behind Green Dragon and White Tiger, glaring viciously at Luo Lin.

"Since Beijing already knows, it no longer matters whether you cooperate or not."

Chen Che looked up at Gu Yuanzong and smiled: "Now, even if I don't use my trump card, you are finished. Oh, no, to be precise, it is the Gu Family that is finished."

Facing Chen Che's verbal provocation, Gu Yuanzong laughed instead of getting angry: "Chen Che, it is to your credit that you were able to send the evidence to Beijing. I also realized that you had been stalling for time; otherwise, with your brain, if you really wanted to kill me, you could have used your trump card at the very beginning."

Chen Che's expression changed.

Gu Yuanzong had guessed correctly; after Chen Che rescued the others, the safest way to resolve the Gu Family was to stall for time and wait for people from Beijing to arrive.

As for using his trump card—Song Jinhe had told him while on Moon Shadow Island that using the Ghost Gate Needle to seal the Great Red Sun Poison for one hour and fighting Gu Yuanzong to the death was a desperate strategy.

Chen Che had indeed planned to use his trump card just now; whether it was the Ma Family and others or the Martial Dao families like the Fang Family, all had suffered heavy losses, and he had lost the confidence to continue stalling.

Luo Lin's arrival finally made him heave a sigh of relief, but now Gu Yuanzong's words made his relaxed nerves tense up again, causing him to shudder with fear.

"Hehehe..."

Gu Yuanzong let out a sinister and shrill laugh, "That's right, that's the expression!"

"Chen Che, you think you have calculated everything, but have you never wondered why I could have used my full strength to kill you all along but didn't?"

"Considering my unhealed injuries? No, never! The reason I kept playing along with you was to wait for this moment, for this moment when all of you are gathered here!"

Gu Yuanzong looked up and laughed, his appearance ferocious and insane, like a dormant evil ghost finally revealing its true form.

"Puchi!"

Chen Che and Luo Lin widened their eyes simultaneously; Gu Yuanzong had pierced through the hearts of Green Dragon and White Tiger from behind, and the True Qi in both their bodies was being continuously sucked into Gu Yuanzong's body.

Chen Che sensed the changes around him, suddenly raised his head, and shouted at Luo Lin: "Quick, start the machine!"

Luo Lin turned around quickly, only to see a pillar of energy shooting into the sky; the shielding truck, which was one second away from activation, was overturned directly, and the personnel operating the equipment died on the spot.

"It's too late, it's already too late!"

Gu Yuanzong pulled back his hands, and the withered corpses of Green Dragon and White Tiger collapsed into a pile.

"You will all be sacrifices for me to step into the God Realm. It is your honor to witness the birth of a god! Ahahahahaha..."

Gu Yuanzong drifted toward the sky, laughing ferociously and wildly.

As he slowly ascended, one pillar of True Qi energy after another shot into the sky.

Countless energy pillars converged in the sky, then turned into a large net that spread down, enveloping the entire mountain where the Gu Family courtyard was located.

Chen Che raised his head and only then discovered that the originally golden full moon had turned scarlet red at some point.

Eerie, terrifying!

The ground began to tremble, gradually turning into a violent vibration; even Martial Artists found it difficult to stand under the might of the earth, and everyone fell head over heels.

Immediately following, a pressure like the sky collapsing descended from above; people who were already unable to stand were now completely sprawled on the ground, and they would never be able to stand up again.

Chen Che knelt on one knee, sinking into the ground inch by inch; he used all his strength to hold up his unyielding head.

Yet he saw Luo Lin lying on the ground, her expression pained, blood slowly flowing from her nostrils, and the situation of the others was more or less the same.

Tang Ying had finished dealing with the matters in the mountain belly and was originally rushing quickly to the Gu Family courtyard, but she was knocked down halfway there.

The Ma Family, Fang Family, Huang Family, Ding Family... everyone within the Array Barrier was spared by none.

Gu Yao lay on the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to be crushed; he raised his head with difficulty to look into the sky, and used all his strength to squeeze two words out through his teeth: "Grandfather..."

Gu Yuanzong seemed to sense something and looked at the ground, sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to use Chen Che's head to start the ritual, but now it seems that won't be so easy. As my descendants, this honor shall be bestowed upon you."

Gu Yuanzong waved his large hand; the bodies of Gu Zhengying, Gu Zhangsheng, and Gu Yao shuddered, and the expressions on their faces froze.

The next second, the heads of the three flew away from their bodies, flying in three different directions.

Gu Yuanzong raised two fingers again, looked up at the ferocious Blood Moon, and shouted loudly.

The ground within the Array Barrier shot out beams of blinding light, the ruins and debris were overturned, exposing a profound and mysterious array diagram.

"Chen Che, you thought that destroying the dungeon would solve my array? To tell you the truth, the dungeon was just the most dispensable part of this array!"

Gu Yuanzong opened his arms, looking like a demon god descending to the world under the illumination of the Blood Moon, "Become my nourishment; you will go with me to that legendary world!"

As the Array Diagram operated, the True Qi and life force within every person inside the Barrier drifted into the air like wisps of fluttering silk, entering the body of Gu Yuanzong.

The radiance of the Blood Moon also reached its peak at this moment, with boundless energy converging into a single point and bursting into the body of Gu Yuanzong.

Bearing the pressure and the erosion of the Great Red Sun Poison, Chen Che slowly picked up the three fallen Ghost Gate Needles with his left hand, then used all his strength to press them against his chest, slowly pushing them into his heart bit by bit.

"Hoo—"

Finally, the Ghost Gate Needles were pushed all the way in; Chen Che exhaled, the spiderweb-like blood vessels about to cover his face rapidly faded, and a sense of relief he had never felt in ten years spread throughout his entire body.

"Crack, crack!"

With a flick of his right arm, his broken wrist snapped back into place, and with another flick, the pressure descending upon him vanished into thin air.

Chen Che stood up, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a brilliance they had never held before: "One hour, I will let you see what a true... Heavenly Master realm is!"
