Chapter 250: Warfare Does Not Despise Deceit

No more fighting, no more fighting, you let Elder Brother Qian Yue be your sparring partner!

Gu Lin and the others, each with bruised noses and swollen faces, covered their faces and slunk away.

However, before they left, Gu Han gave each of them a storage bag.

Inside were enough raw stones for them to absorb for several months, plus some heavenly treasures suited to them, as their medical expenses.

Gu Lin had wanted to refuse, but thinking that he shouldn't take this beating for nothing, he accepted it.

Just right, let me also see the strength of Sister Panpan.

After Gu Lin and the others left, Gu Qian Yue jumped onto the specially made martial arts platform.

However, at that moment, footsteps sounded outside again.

Gu Han turned his head and saw that it was Gu Lin and the others returning after having left.

"How come you came back?"

Gu Lin crossed his arms and glared at Gu Qian Yue on the platform,

"I'm waiting to see Qian Yue also come back with a bruised nose and swollen face, walking with us!"

Upon hearing that, Gu Qian Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Who the hell are you looking down on?"

"Didn't you hear Gu Han say that Panpan is only a martial practitioner?"

"He is, after all, a proper martial master; how could he not be a match for Panpan?"

Panpan hopped onto the martial arts platform with a grin.

"Brother Qian Yue, please go easy on me!"

Dressed in simple attire, Panpan lacked delicate makeup, yet her bearing was extraordinarily transcendent.

Gu Qian Yue waved his hand, and a heavy sword appeared in his grip, which he thrust heavily into the martial arts platform,

"Sister Panpan, I won't underestimate you—be careful!"

"We're all our own people, so there's no rule that you need a whistle to start fighting."

Gu Qian Yue stepped forward with his right foot, his body lunging ahead like a tiger descending the mountain.

And the heavy sword in his hand, likewise wrapped in a fierce gust, swept horizontally.

Panpan gave a light smile and pressed her hands forward.

A piercing chill instantly condensed in her palms and rapidly spread outward.

The charging Gu Qian Yue suddenly felt a bone‑chilling cold rush at him, as if icy blades were stabbing his bones.

"This temperature… how can it be colder than the Thousand Year Cold Valley?"

Gu Qian Yue had at least been to the outskirts of the Thousand Year Cold Valley before.

But even the temperature of the Thousand Year Cold Valley cannot compare to this move of Panpan's!

Gu Qian Yue gritted his teeth, his qi and blood erupting throughout his body, shaking off the chill.

A heavy sword nearly as large as a door panel whistled past, and Panpan barely avoided it with a backflip.

Gu Qian Yue gave a low shout and pressed the attack.

He continued to smash the heavy sword forward, but saw Panpan leap high and place a foot on the sword's blade.

The heavy sword had no edge, so it could not inflict effective harm on Panpan.

Meanwhile, Gu Han, watching from the side, suddenly noticed that frost was spreading from the spot where Panpan's foot rested on the heavy sword!

The frost spread with incredible speed, covering half of the sword's blade in the blink of an eye!

"Sister Panpan, what a powerful technique!"

Gu Qian Yue felt the chill coming from the sword's blade and also shivered involuntarily.

He held nothing back, and the aura of a late‑stage martial master burst forth.

His mighty strength lifted Panpan, who was standing on the heavy sword, and flung her away!

Panpan traced a graceful arc in the air, and the cold she emitted lowered the temperature of the small martial arts arena considerably!

Gu Lin and the others who had returned to watch were trembling, their lips turning pale.

"Sister Panpan, when we previously sparred, you weren't even using your full strength, were you?"

A deep sense of defeat welled up in their hearts.

But thinking that Panpan is Gu Han's sister……

they inexplicably felt a bit better.

Such monsters are a family, and extremely rare!

Gu Qian Yue waved the heavy sword, relentlessly pursuing on the martial arts platform.

Panpan darted and weaved, appearing to be at a disadvantage, yet she remained unharmed.

Wherever her palms pointed, endless chills burst forth in succession.

Making it hard for Gu Qian Yue to catch up.

If this continues, even if both exhaust their strength, they cannot decide a winner.

After all, they are comrades, so they could not really resort to killing moves.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, I concede."

After another bout of pursuit, Gu Qian Yue thrust the heavy sword into the ground with a bang, using it as a support, and slowly panted heavily.

"I really can't catch up to you; your trick is too sneaky!"

"Hehe, Brother Qian Yue, don't be a sore loser!"

Panpan stopped her steps with a giggle,

"How could this be called sneaky?"

"My older brother said before, if there is no certainty of a one-hit kill, on the battlefield we should as much as possible pull and tug at the enemy, after consuming the enemy's stamina, then decide victory or defeat!"

Gu Han beneath the Martial Arts Platform blinked, did he say that?

On the battlefield, he always subdues ten with one force, forcibly killing enemies.

Deplete the enemy's stamina?

It doesn't exist!

"Perhaps it's to let Panpan guarantee her own safety that I would say this?"

Gu Han thought for a moment, feeling there was also a certain possibility.

After all, he and Panpan have said so many words; he himself couldn't possibly remember them all.

"Then has your older brother ever taught you, in battle never to believe the enemy's words?"

At the moment Gu Pan approached, Gu Qianyue let out a fierce low shout, his right foot stepping down heavily.

A yellowish-brown vortex condensed in an instant on the Martial Arts Platform.

The vortex turned into a prison that enveloped Gu Pan, giving her no chance to dodge.

And Gu Qianyue's heavy sword swept across, smashing fiercely toward Gu Pan!

Gu Lin and the others, seeing this, were stunned speechless.

Holy shit, there's a sneaky old bastard!

Gu Han also didn't expect that Gu Qianyue would actually choose to strike like this.

However, he did not panic.

Even if Gu Pan couldn't react in time, relying on the various earth-grade spiritual artifacts he gave her for protection, she wouldn't be injured.

Gu Pan was also caught off guard by this, and immediately let out a low shout,

"Older brother Qianyue, great technique!"

The frost chill emanating from her palms almost condensed into substance at this moment!

Crack!

Crack!

Piercing cold frost covered the entire prison, turning it into a frost prison cage!

Boom!

Gu Qianyue's heavy sword fiercely smashed onto the frost prison cage.

In the heavy impact sound, the frost prison cage was forcibly smashed away, striking the railing of the Martial Arts Platform.

"Gu Pan, younger sister!"

Gu Lin and the others exclaimed in surprise, rushing forward to rescue Gu Pan.

Gu Lin even glared at Gu Qianyue,

"You fellow, how can you strike without restraint?"

Just being able to defeat Gu Pan is enough; why must you use such a heavy hand?

Although Gu Pan's strength is stronger than theirs, in their eyes she remains their younger sister!

However, the crack on the frost prison cage from the heavy sword's impact emitted a faint cracking sound and then shattered explosively.

At the moment the prison shattered, countless arrows shot out from within!

These arrows were entirely crystalline and sparkling, completely condensed from ice-attribute inner strength!

It turned out to be the earth-grade top-tier martial technique that Gu Han gave Gu Pan: Frost Rain Curtain!

With a martial practitioner's strength, wanting to use an earth-grade top-tier martial technique is still somewhat strained.

However, Gu Pan's control over the ice element is extremely strong, and combined with the saintly physique's qi and blood, it far surpasses that of martial practitioners of the same realm.

This gave her the confidence to unleash Frost Rain Curtain!
