Chapter 494

"Killed by the Great Yuan Imperial Court."

"Therefore, although this one has obtained this sword manual, all along there have still been many doubts."

Hai Ze Wu Lang spoke as he drew closer and closer to Gui Chen.

"So this one took the liberty of hearing that Hall Master Gui Chen's swordsmanship borders on the divine, no less than Dugu Jian's."

"Might Hall Master Gui Chen be willing to give this one a little guidance? As long as I can learn one or two tenths of this sword art, that will be enough."

"What do you think?"

Gui Chen gave Hai Ze Wu Lang a strange look,

"A Heaven-grade sword art, and all you're asking is something this simple?"

"Exactly!"

Hai Ze Wu Lang nodded.

"Then come here!"

Gui Chen beckoned, letting Hai Ze Wu Lang come and stand right beside him.

He spread open the sword manual and, starting from the first move, began breaking it down for him.

Hai Ze Wu Lang seemed truly enamored with the Way of the Sword, and earnestly began to listen.

When they reached the tenth move, just as Gui Chen was growing more and more animated in his explanation,

"Careful…"

the little Miss suddenly shouted.

319 Do you know the price of making a move against the Duiqinglong Society?

Hai Ze Wu Lang, who had been focused on listening to Gui Chen's explanation, suddenly launched a close-range sneak attack on Gui Chen.

He feared Gui Chen's Wu Gong cultivation far surpassed his own, and that a sneak attack would not succeed.

So he first used a short dagger to execute a move of the "Flat Lake Sword Art."

Then, abandoning the dagger, with his left and right hands he unleashed two moves of "Maha Wuliang Divine Palm" in turn.

In an instant, three killing moves were launched almost simultaneously.

More critically, he had smeared a strange poison on the "Flat Lake Sword Manual."

This poison is unique to You Dongying's Hidden Sword Style; even an Earthly Immortal, if caught off guard for a moment, would be poisoned.

The timing of his strike was also calculated to the exact moment.

With killing moves layered one upon another, even if Gui Chen were an outstanding figure among Earthly Immortals, he could only die here in regret.

The moment he struck, the people of Lian Family Fort, heedless of their lives, attacked the Qinglong Society assassins from behind.

Shan Lu Wu Xiang took advantage of the chaos to grab Shen Bijun in one swift move, preparing to take her away.

To snatch victory from the chaos—this was the plan Hai Ze Wu Lang and Shan Lu Wu Xiang hastily agreed upon.

Shen Bijun, or rather her Heart Moon Fox, was the target they absolutely had to take this time!

So even if it cost a greater price, he had to act this way.

Moreover, this plan employed every trick Hai Ze Wu Lang had, and he considered it foolproof.

Only the little Miss had given a last-minute warning.

But in Hai Ze Wu Lang's view, it didn't matter much.

Even if Gui Chen didn't die, he would be gravely wounded.

He himself could take advantage of the chaos to escape.

His mind wandered, but his hands dared not slacken in the slightest.

Yet Gui Chen, right before his eyes, said lightly,

"I say, do you know the price of making a move against the Duiqinglong Society?"

These words sounded remarkably calm and steady.

But for some unknown reason, everyone who had laid hands on the Qinglong Society assassins felt a sudden pang of dread.

As if, from the unseen beyond, it were the voice of an envoy from hell itself.

"What's going on? Why weren't you poisoned?"

The first to react was Hai Ze Wu Lang.

All three of his killing moves, without exception, halted right before Gui Chen's body.

Dense true essence transformed into a body-protecting true gang qi.

Hai Ze Wu Lang couldn't advance another inch; he even felt wave after wave of backlash transmitted through his hands.

Gui Chen had still maintained the strength of the Earthly Immortal Realm!

But how could this be?

"You're still too green, kid!"

"Grandpa here has lived two hundred years—what great storm haven't I seen?"

"Enough. Since you've made a move against the Qinglong Society, you all must die!"

"Move out! Leave no one alive—kill them all!"

At Gui Chen's command to move, the body-protecting true gang qi swelled rapidly.

Crack!

Hai Ze Wu Lang's hands were snapped clean by the body-protecting true gang qi.

At this life-or-death moment, he still tried to resist.

Gui Chen casually pointed a finger, and a streak of sword qi shot forth.

In a flash, it pierced straight through Hai Ze Wu Lang's throat.

From Hai Ze Wu Lang's sneak attack, to Guichen's counter-kill, and the order to strike back.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality it was only a few breaths.

The people of Lian Family Fort had not even had time to turn around.

Before the Qinglong Society assassins behind them struck directly, killing every last one without exception.

Only Shan Lu Wu Xiang, after all, was a world-class master.

None of the Qinglong Society assassins present could truly stop him.

He urgently grabbed Shen Bijun and immediately prepared to smash through the Tongfu Inn's skylight, escaping upward.

Calamity Clouds Descend from the Sky!

The crimson cloak, infused with true essence, transformed into a giant palm descending from the heavens.

The boundless pressure left Shan Lu Wu Xiang with no path to the heavens.

It was Bu Jingyun, standing to the side, who struck!

"Good! Since we cannot have it, don't even think about having it either!"

This palm strike, Shan Lu Wu Xiang could not receive without taking damage.

Moreover, with this delay by Bu Jingyun, once Guichen and the Qinglong Society assassins arrived, he would undoubtedly die.

At the critical moment, Shan Lu Wu Xiang fiercely tore off the pack from Shen Bijun's body, then hurled it toward Bu Jingyun's palm strike.

A world-class master's palm force could split mountains and crack stone.

Generally, divine weapons below Earth Grade could not withstand a world-class master's full-force strike.

Let alone that Bu Jingyun was no ordinary world-class master.

The Cloud-Dispelling Palm was also far from an ordinary palm technique.

Moreover, to ensure the Heart Moon Fox was destroyed, Shan Lu Wu Xiang also struck upward with full force from below.

The full-force strikes of two world-class masters would surely destroy this Heart Moon Fox, whatever it was.

If the Heart Moon Fox was destroyed, then even if he died, the mission would be considered complete.

"The people of You Dongying are truly as the Great Dragon Chief said—not only full of wild ambitions, but also extremely sinister and ruthless."

Guichen saw that Shan Lu Wu Xiang did not seek to escape, but instead fought to the death to complete the mission.

Recalling again how Hai Ze Wu Lang had fought to the death to block him.

Such a ruthless disposition toward even himself made Guichen feel a chill in his heart.

"Bu Jingyun, no need to hold back!"

Guichen noticed that under Gu Ji's reservations, Bu Jingyun's palm force had somewhat weakened.

His mind stirred, worried that this Shan Lu Wu Xiang might really escape, and he let out a great shout.
