Chapter 230: Battle the He Family Head!

Damn it, damn it!

Upon hearing Gu Han's words, He Qintian grew even more furious.

Furious to the extreme!

The Gu family has repeatedly pursued his He family relentlessly, truly thinking his He family wouldn't fight back?

Furious, He Qintian immediately abandoned the several elders and rushed toward the entrance of the underground passage.

Originally, with He Qintian's wisdom, he would not be easily deceived by Gu Han's few words.

But as a Martial Sovereign, He Qintian hasn't suffered such a blow in who knows how long.

The enraged He Qintian only wanted to quickly deal with those Gu family people and avenge the deceased He family members.

Where would he still have the mood to ponder the loopholes in Gu Han's words?

Moreover, Gu Han and the others indeed bore many bloodstains, proving they had just gone through a bloody battle.

Gu Han signaled with his eyes for everyone to make way for He Qintian to enter the underground tunnel.

However, just as He Qintian passed by Gu Han's side, he suddenly stopped his steps,

"Who invited you guys?"

This was the last trace of vigilance remaining in He Qintian's heart.

As soon as those words were spoken, Gu Han's eyes, meeting He Qintian's gaze, instantly changed.

After arriving at Han Shan Cheng, he killed anyone from the He family he encountered, showing no mercy whatsoever.

How would he know what those people were called?

Whoosh!

Gu Chen seized the opportunity, immediately controlling his flying sword to stab He Qintian's back.

"An assassin, how bold!"

He Qintian's eyes twitched slightly, and he unleashed a full-force punch toward Gu Han's chest.

Immediately, a golden-yellow broadsword appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Gu Chen's flying sword.

Clang!

The piercing clang of metal on metal suddenly rang out.

Amidst a shower of sparks, Gu Chen's flying sword was shaken away.

And He Qintian was actually shaken back two or three steps by the force from the flying sword.

Above, the five He family elders witnessing this scene suddenly had their pupils contract sharply.

"How... how is this possible?"

The gap between a Martial Sovereign and a Martial Ancestor is like a heavenly chasm!

Even a peak Martial Ancestor expert, even if able to withstand a few moves of a Martial Sovereign without being slain, would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

And it's impossible for such a situation to occur, where one could still repel a Martial Sovereign!

"Family Head, be careful, we're coming to help you!"

The five elders shouted angrily and all flew up.

And He Qintian, standing at the center of the battlefield, was utterly shocked.

He could no longer recall how long it had been since he encountered an enemy capable of repelling him!

In all of Han Shan Cheng, the only ones comparable to him in strength are the City Lord of Han Shan Cheng and the heads of the other five great families.

But nobody is obstinate; basically no one would fight to the death.

But just as He Qintian flashed that thought, he suddenly heard a dragon's roar behind him.

At that moment, He Qintian even doubted whether his ears were malfunctioning.

Han Shan Cheng, a dragon appeared?

But soon he was certain his hearing was absolutely fine!

He immediately turned around, looking at the golden spear already approaching his chest.

The one wielding the golden spear was the young man who had just taken his full-force punch.

That punch, even a late-stage Martial Ancestor expert would surely be gravely injured if they took it head-on!

But this young man, after taking it head-on, actually remained completely unharmed?

But He Qintian no longer had time to ponder this question.

Because awaiting him was a life-or-death critical moment!

Yes, he never imagined he would one day face a life-or-death crisis in Han Shan Cheng!

"Golden Sea Myriad Blades!"

He Qintian's peak sword intent instantly unfolded to its utmost.

Upon his golden sword burst forth a blinding light.

That destructive golden light swept across, fiercely slashing toward the spear blade!

He Qintian firmly believed, with his peak sword intent plus his own formidable strength.

Together with the formidable heaven-tier martial art Golden Sea Myriad Blades.

The young man before him absolutely had no chance to block this strike!

Under a Martial Sovereign, no one could survive this strike!

Yet at that moment, he saw the long spear in the opponent's hand emit a deafening dragon's roar.

Moreover, the golden radiance emanating from the spear's shaft was eye-catching, even outshining the luster of his own golden sword!

The piercing golden glare made He Qintian instinctively close his eyes.

Boom!

And precisely because he had closed his eyes, the strength in his hand unconsciously weakened by three tenths.

A terrifying energy storm swept outward.

The five He Family elders who had just flown down were all sent flying.

Even the He Family elder nearest to him spat blood and was gravely injured!

The Iron Blood Mercenary Group members who had run away from the beginning, keeping their distance from the battlefield's center, had faces still filled with shock.

"This power is too terrifying!"

As the battle was about to break out, Gu Han gestured with his eyes for them to leave quickly.

This also became a key reason they escaped disaster.

Even a Martial Sect master was gravely injured by the blast's aftermath.

Not to mention these mercenaries of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group!

"I never thought Gu Han would be not just a Martial Sect expert, but possibly even a Martial Sovereign!!"

Xiao Qing's eyes were filled with horror and shock.

As far as he knew, the strongest of the Gu Family in Wu Shan Cheng was only Gu Xiao Dao at the peak of the Martial Sect realm.

Furthermore, with the few spirit veins under the Gu Family's control, even if they had resources, they would surely allocate them first to Gu Xiao Dao to help him quickly reach Martial Sovereign.

How could the Gu Family produce a young Martial Sovereign like Gu Han?

This is absolutely unimaginable!

And at the battlefield's center.

"Pfft!"

The terrifying energy gale slammed into He Qintian's chest, causing him to spit blood and stumble backward several steps uncontrollably.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He Qintian's pupils shrank sharply as he stared in disbelief at Gu Han, who kept pressing forward.

"I'm a Martial Sovereign—how could you be my match?"

Although he had unconsciously closed his eyes just now because of the golden light stimulation, the power that burst forth was still enough to overwhelm all enemies below Martial Sovereign.

Could this young man before him also be a Martial Sovereign?

Upon considering this possibility, He Qintian felt a jolt of horror.

If that's really the case, then this is absolutely terrifying!

He couldn't imagine how far such a young Martial Sovereign would grow in the future!

"If that's so, then today only one of us can walk away alive!"

He Qintian let out an angry roar, his battle armor instantly shattering, his aura suddenly surging—as if he had employed some secret method.

Gu Han's heart steadied, and he felt no fear.

When he was in Zhong Cheng, he could already trade a few blows with Jiang Tianyi.

He has now also absorbed the attributes of the He Family members.

Moreover, wielding the heaven‑rank supreme Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, if he still isn't a match for He Qintian...

He might as well just buy a block of tofu and knock himself out with it!
