Chapter 224: Seeking Aid from the He Residence

I... fuck... you...

Zhang Ke's scolding voice hadn't yet faded.

In a gust of whistling wind, a long spear radiating golden light shot through the air!

Zhang Ke's expression changed drastically; as he slashed a blade at the spear, he panicked and dodged.

But the blade aura he sent out was as fragile as paper before the spear Gu Han projected.

In an ear-piercing metal clash, it shattered with a boom.

The explosion's aftermath suddenly spread, causing Zhang Ke's body, who had just flown tens of meters, to burst into a spray of blood mist.

"Without a weapon, I'll see if you die today!"

He had been watching Gu Han's fight just now.

Gu Han could possess such strength only because this spear, which can be called a divine weapon, is absolutely indispensable!

Without a suitable weapon, the opponent's strength would definitely drop significantly!

Thinking this, Zhang Ke immediately activated his wings and swiftly rushed toward Gu Han!

Whoosh!

Zhang Ke was about to swing a blade at Gu Han.

A flying sword suddenly came breaking through the wind.

The fierce sword wind it stirred up left Zhang Ke no chance to dodge, and a bloody line appeared on his forehead.

"How... how is this possible?"

Zhang Ke uttered his last words in broken gasps, his body slammed to the ground with a bang, and split into two pieces.

He hadn't expected that after the other clans' people retreated, he would become the sole target of Gu Chen and the others.

And he only thought of attacking the unarmed Gu Han, forgetting that Gu Chen was watching him covetously from the side!

Eventually, caught off guard, he was cut in two by Gu Chen's flying sword!

Besides Gu Chen, there is also Xiao Qing, a Martial Ancestor.

Without reinforcements, he can say he has no chance of victory today!

Of course, even if Gu Chen hadn't had time to act, Gu Han wouldn't be careless enough to face Zhang Ke barehanded!

The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear is a growing-type spiritual artifact.

After the previous breakthrough to the upper tier of the heavenly level, it already possessed some spiritual awareness in advance.

Although it is not yet as capable of autonomous combat as having an artifact spirit accompany it.

But it already possesses the ability for Gu Han to communicate with it via speech.

Ordinary spiritual artifacts can possess spiritual awareness only upon reaching the king level.

And even that is merely a possibility!

From this alone, it is evident that the true grade of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear obviously far exceeds that so-called king-level spiritual artifact!

At the moment Zhang Ke's corpse fell, the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear traced an arc in the air and returned to Gu Han's hand.

If Zhang Ke were still alive, the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear would pierce his chest!

Gu Han pointed his spear, absorbing all the black particles formed from Zhang Ke's past sins.

The golden light on the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear also became a bit more holy than before.

Gu Han did not rush to absorb the sins of these corpses on the field, but instead looked at the fleeing people.

Although he no longer had time to keep all of them here.

But since they wanted to reap the benefits, they would have to pay some price.

"Aim at one, kill it, then return!"

Nowadays, the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear is not yet overly intelligent.

If it strays too far from him, Gu Han also worries he won't be able to stay in touch with the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear.

He immediately aimed at the slowest Martial Ancestor, transformed the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear into a javelin, and shot it out fiercely!

With Gu Han's current strength and the spear's own control,

The spear's body was like a phantom, swiftly flickering through the air.

Even Xiao Qing, who had been paying attention here, could hardly see the speed at which the spear tore through the air!

"These youngsters are truly formidable nowadays!"

Gu Han's demonstrated ability definitely does not transcend the realm of a Martial Ancestor.

Yet he can slay a Martial Ancestor without breaking a sweat.

Moreover, Gu Han is still very young, with plenty of time to cultivate.

"Not to mention a Martial Venerable; even a Martial King would be nothing but a trifle for Gu Han, right?"

Gu Chen came over to Gu Han's side, laughing heartily.

"Gu Han, I didn't expect you to still be a spear cultivator."

Spear cultivators, like sword cultivators, are extremely rare in this world.

Ordinarily, a family that has either a sword cultivator or a spear cultivator can usher in its heyday!

But the Gu family actually has two of them!

Just this fact alone likely surpasses any clan in Ben Lang Guo!

"Spear cultivator? Perhaps."

Gu Han thought for a moment.

Gu Chen's words could be said to have enlightened him!

"To put on a veneer of spear cultivator is better than constantly doubting whether one has other opportunities."

In the future, if anyone still harbors designs, spear cultivation makes a decent cover.

At the same time, the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear killed another Martial Ancestor and returned to Gu Han's hand.

Gu Han gestured, and all the intact storage rings on the corpses present flew to his hand.

He used internal energy to send half of the storage rings to Xiao Qing and the others.

Xiao Qing blinked in surprise, then said repeatedly,

"Gu Little Brother, we didn't intervene for these benefits."

Hearing Xiao Qing's explanation, Gu Han gave a faint smile,

"Uncle Xiao, rest assured, I understand you're not that kind of person; but since you're willing to step forward to help me, I can't let you work for nothing."

As for whether accepting the storage rings will provoke the He family's enmity,

This point is no longer important.

Since the Iron Blood Mercenary Group chose to help Gu Han, from the moment they took action,

they have already stood opposed to the He family!

Xiao Qing originally didn't want to agree, but everyone in the Iron Blood Mercenary Group accompanied him on this risk.

He naturally couldn't ignore everyone's thoughts.

So Xiao Qing nodded at Gu Han and put away the storage ring.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Han's cultivation reached the eighth layer of Great Martial Master.

Most of those present had cultivation far inferior to his.

To break through to the ninth layer of Great Martial Master, they'd likely still need some time.

Gu Han glanced at Little Wolf gnawing on a demon beast's inner elixir, and he nearly exploded with anger.

Little Wolf actually has a higher cultivation than him—is there any justice left?

Little Wolf: "What is justice? Can it be eaten?"

Gu Han, feeling Little Wolf's thoughts through the battle pet's telepathy, twitched the corner of his mouth.

All he thinks about is eating, right?

……

When Gu Han set fire to the He residence,

He Qingyun and the other elders who were pursuing Di Ying and Dai Jing,

Their waist jade pendants quickly began to vibrate.

It wasn't just one elder's pendant; all the elders' jade pendants vibrated simultaneously.

He Qingyun first froze, then his face flushed with anger.

"Who dares to attack my He family manor?"

If it were just contacting one or two elders, it might be that the family needs an elder to return to handle affairs.

But contacting all the elders at once means they face an urgent, critical matter!

"What should we do now?"

One elder, face anxious, said,

"No one in the clan knows what happened yet; we must rush back to reinforce."

He Qingyun looked gloomily at Di Ying and Dai Jing supporting each other, stumbling as they fled.

"These two are already at the end of their rope; we four will stay behind, while the other elders should return to Han Shan Cheng as quickly as possible."
