Chapter 268: One Defeats Four Martial Sovereigns!

This woman's lineage is certainly not simple!

The three Heavy Sword Peak Elders' hearts trembled nonstop.

In a head‑on clash, even if they faced Ding Zhuoguang alone, they would not fall behind.

But Ding Zhuoguang's martial arts and spiritual artifact, in both rank and proficiency, were actually superior to theirs!

The spiritual artifact can also be explained by one's lineage.

But martial‑arts proficiency must be built up over years to reach a higher level.

Ding Zhuoguang appears to be only in his twenties.

Even if it's due to cultivation accomplishments that he retains eternal youth.

But this youthful aura is far beyond anything they can match!

Boom!

The Heavy Sword Peak Elder who had momentarily lost focus was instantly seized upon by Ding Zhuoguang.

Though the silver spear looked slender, its strike came down as heavy as ten thousand jun!

Amid the heavy impact and miserable cries, that Heavy Sword Peak Elder was violently smashed away.

The other two Heavy Sword Peak Elders' faces instantly changed dramatically.

Even though the three of them joined forces, they were still suppressed by Ding Zhuoguang.

Now only two remain, and they certainly won't be a match for Ding Zhuoguang!

Ding Zhuoguang struck fiercely and in a moment seriously wounded two Heavy Sword Peak Elders.

Including the Heavy Sword Peak Elder who had initially lost to Ding Zhuoguang.

In less than the time it takes to finish half a cup of tea, she swiftly defeated four Martial Sovereigns!

Seeing this, Gu Han, hiding in the back, was shocked to the point of despair.

He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, tiptoed away, and prepared to flee.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiao Dao and Li Kaishan continued fighting fiercely.

Hearing the occasional miserable cries, Li Kaishan glanced over with his peripheral vision.

But when he saw the four elders who had been traveling with him collapsed on the ground, breathing weakly and coughing up blood repeatedly.

Li Kaishan's eyes also showed extreme terror.

Originally, with his strength, he could have settled the matter of the Gu Family in Wu Shan Cheng.

But he had a close relationship with those four, and subduing the Gu Family was not the first time they had done such a thing.

The five of them formed a small group, with strengths roughly equal.

But he never expected that, after great effort, he would suppress Gu Xiao Dao, who had the aid of a formation.

Yet all four of his companions ended up defeated!

Li Kaishan's thoughts suddenly shifted; he swung his heavy, powerful sword horizontally at Gu Xiao Dao.

Taking advantage of the moment Gu Xiao Dao blocked, he took out a talisman and flicked it with his finger.

The talisman instantly turned into a golden light that enveloped Li Kaishan.

In the next instant, Li Kaishan's aura vanished from the spot!

Ding Zhuoguang's eyes flashed,

"This fellow has quite a few good things!"

After her words fell, she put away the immobilizing pearl in her hand.

Transmission talismans usually have a brief wind‑up.

Ding Zhuoguang had already noticed Li Kaishan's intention to flee.

As long as she uses the immobilizing pearl, Li Kaishan will surely meet his doom.

But Li Kaishan's talisman takes effect almost instantly.

It doesn't even give her a chance to use the immobilizing pearl.

This shows that the talisman Li Kaishan uses is absolutely not an ordinary one.

And while the commotion of Li Kaishan's escape drew everyone's attention, Gu Han seized the opportunity to likewise try to flee using a talisman.

But his talisman is obviously not that fast.

When the four Heavy Sword Peak Elders were defeated, Gu Tianren had already guessed that Gu Han would definitely take the chance to flee.

At the moment Gu Han produced a talisman, Gu Tianren's Light‑Cutting Blade flew out.

"Ah!"

Amidst the miserable cries, the hand tightly gripping a talisman flew up into the air as if by itself.

The intense pain made Gu Han break out in a cold sweat instantly, his eyes turning fierce.

And with a sweep of Gu Tianren's big hand, the Gu Family guards rushed forward, seized Gu Han, and gave him no chance to escape.

Seeing Li Kaishan vanish from the spot, Gu Xiao Dao took a deep breath to calm his qi and blood, then looked toward the surrounding battle.

Although he had the aid of the Gu Family's Protective Clan Grand Formation, his true strength was still somewhat inferior to Li Kaishan's.

Thus, in the earlier battle, Gu Xiao Dao dared not lose focus in the slightest, for fear of giving Li Kaishan an opening.

Now that the battle had ended, seeing the four wounded Heavy Sword Peak Elders collapsed on the ground, Gu Xiao Dao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

His fight against Li Kaishan was already this exhausting.

Who could possibly defeat four Martial Sovereigns working together?

Among those present, Gu Xiao Dao knew the strength of every clan member like the back of his hand.

The only person he didn't know well was Gu Tianren's senior sister, Ding Zhuoguang.

"The strength of Tianren's senior sister is actually this terrifying?"

Gu Xiao Dao originally thought that becoming a Martial Sovereign would let him swagger through the Benlang Kingdom without hindrance.

Translation: Gu Xiao Dao originally thought that becoming a Martial Sovereign would allow him to roam freely even in Ben Lang Guo.

Now after all lines, we need to output a names list:

At least in Sword South Prefecture, he could at least be considered a strong expert!

But looking at it now, he's still far from being a true expert!

Gu Xiao Dao took a deep breath, stepped forward two paces, clasped his fists, and said in a low voice to Ding Zhuoguang,

"This time, my Gu Family's ordeal, thank you…… Senior Sister Ding for your help."

Ding Zhuoguang's strength is still above Gu Xiao Dao's.

Although Gu Tianren acts as an intermediary between the two sides, Gu Xiao Dao could not really treat Ding Zhuoguang as his own junior.

After thinking, he decided that calling Ding Zhuoguang 'Senior Sister' was more appropriate.

However, as soon as he said that, Ding Zhuoguang hadn't even spoken, but instead Gu Tianren's face turned a little awkward.

He calls Ding Zhuoguang 'Senior Sister,' and his father also calls Ding Zhuoguang 'Senior Sister.'

What kind of relation is this?

"Uncle, no need to be formal; just call me Zhuoguang."

Even in the capital, Ding Zhuoguang counts as someone with extraordinary talent.

Only then could he reach the Martial Sovereign realm before the age of thirty!

But to have his own junior's father call him 'Senior Sister'…

That's still a bit too exaggerated!

After saying that, Ding Zhuoguang's gaze fell on the four Heavy Sword Peak elders who had swallowed the medicinal pill and slightly eased their injuries.

"Since I said I would leave your arms here, I will not go back on my word!"

As his words fell, the Immobilizing Pearl in Ding Zhuoguang's hand burst forth with a blinding light.

It caused the four Heavy Sword Peak elders who had just taken out their talismans to stare in horror, their gazes locked there.

Feeling their bodies almost lose sensation, the four all felt as if struck by lightning!

This woman actually possesses a spiritual treasure capable of robbing a Martial Sovereign of his ability to move?

What kind of faction could possibly possess such extravagant treasures?

A terrifying thought arose in each of their minds, yet they dared not admit it.

They couldn't believe that the tiny Wu Shan Cheng, the ant-like Gu Family, could possibly have any connection with that faction!

Ding Zhuoguang did not delegate the task; he personally stepped forward and severed one arm from each of the four!

The four Heavy Sword Peak elders clenched their teeth, their downcast eyes bloodshot.

They dared not raise their heads, fearing that the anger in their eyes would provoke the opponent.

That was probably no longer just a matter of losing an arm!

Seeing Ding Zhuoguang cut off the arms of four Martial Sovereigns without changing expression, it was as if he were slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Gu Xiao Dao and the other Gu Family members were all shaken to the core, their scalps tingling!
