Chapter 278

"Young in age, yet he has quite a bit of insight."

Li Kaishan, hidden in the crowd, secretly nodded.

With his strength, even if far apart, he could easily hear the discussion of Gu Qianyue and the others.

"But precisely because of that, I cannot let you stay!"

A flash of cold light passed through Li Kaishan's eyes as he flicked his finger.

In the blink of an eye, the finger force turned into a fierce gust of wind, shooting explosively toward Gu Qianyue.

Bang!

Gu Qianyue, completely unprepared, was struck by the gust; his chest instantly exploded with a burst of blood mist!

"Brother Qianyue!"

Gu Lin and the others had their faces and bodies splattered all over with Gu Qianyue's fresh blood.

Seeing Gu Qianyue turn deathly pale and collapse, everyone's faces changed drastically and they cried out in alarm.

The other Gu family juniors nearby, seeing this, quickly shouted for the physician to come at once.

But how could there be only a few thousand people around the Martial Arts Platform?

Layers of encirclement could be said to have sealed this place off completely.

Besides the physicians constantly guarding near the Martial Arts Platform, although there were physicians elsewhere, it was not something that could be rushed to push through the crowd and arrive immediately.

And Gu Qianyue's chest bled nonstop, even his earth-grade inner armor shattered to pieces.

One could even faintly see that his internal organs were somewhat damaged!

If not for the earth-grade spiritual artifact Gu Han gave them for protection,

that explosion just now would have been enough to kill Gu Qianyue on the spot!

But even so, it can be seen that Gu Qianyue is still exhaling more than inhaling.

Watching his complexion rapidly fade, Gu Lin knew that Gu Qianyue would likely perish here before long.

Finally, the physician hurriedly pushed through the crowd.

And arriving together with the physician was Gu Chen.

Gu Ren and the others on the elder seats, overlooking from above, also noticed the abnormality here.

But to avoid causing a disturbance at the scene, they could only send one elder down to check the situation.

The physician quickly examined Gu Qianyue's condition and then helplessly shook his head.

He said nothing, but everyone knew what that headshake meant.

"You're a physician; you must have a way to save Brother Qianyue, right?"

Gu Lin's eyes pleaded as he looked at the physician.

Gu Jing even growled madly,

"You're a physician; if you can't even save a person, what face do you have to be one?"

Although we know Gu Jing spoke recklessly out of excessive worry for Gu Qianyue,

the physician's expression was also quite grim.

"It may not show outwardly, but his internal organs are already shattered beyond repair; even a fifth-grade pill would be powerless."

Hearing the physician's words, everyone's faces turned ashen.

Fifth-grade pills, the Gu family has none in stock.

What more of higher-grade pills?

Cough—cough—

Just then, Gu Qianyue's weak cough sounded.

"Gu…… Gu Chen."

Gu Qianyue's gaze had already dimmed somewhat as he stared hard at Gu Chen,

"Help me…… take good care…… of my family."

No one expected that, at the moment of his death, Gu Qianyue did not think of having Gu Chen avenge him.

He only asked Gu Chen to look after his family well.

"Your family, you look after them yourself; I don't have the time for that."

Hearing Gu Chen say that, Gu Lin and the others' faces changed dramatically.

They and Gu Chen were formerly branch members, basically brothers who grew up together from childhood.

As for the entire Gu family, aside from Gu Chen's father, no one knows him better than they do.

But even they could hardly imagine such words coming from Gu Chen's mouth!

"Don't move around here; I'll take Qianyue home."

Gu Chen ignored the doubtful looks of the crowd, and even didn't worry whether Qianyue's current body could withstand the tearing sensation of spatial transmission.

He took out two talismans, which instantly ignited.

His and Gu Qianyue's bodies then vanished from the spot.

"Can Brother Qianyue's body withstand it?"

Gu Lin and the others showed worried expressions.

The physician helplessly sighed.

In his view, Gu Chen doing this merely wanted Gu Qianyue to see his family one last time in his final moments.

It just depends on whether Gu Qianyue can hold on for his last breath.

After making his move, Li Kaishan concluded that Gu Qianyue had absolutely no chance of survival.

Thus, at the first moment he turned and left, continuing to watch for any other young talents he could nip in the bud.

Slaughtering talents who haven't yet grown up is also a pleasant thing!

Therefore, whether it was Li Kaisan or Gu Lin and the others.

No one noticed that Gu Chen, while bending down, assisted Gu Qianyue in transmitting back to the Gu Family Manor.

He also took out a jade bottle containing spirit fruit and placed it on Gu Qianyue's chest.

Upon returning to the Gu Family at the first moment, Gu Chen immediately broke open the jade bottle and stuffed it into Gu Qianyue's mouth.

At this moment, Gu Qianyue almost no longer had the strength to chew.

Gu Chen then used his inner strength to help Gu Qianyue smoothly swallow the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit.

As the effect of the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit permeated Gu Qianyue's body.

Gu Qianyue's deathly pale, bloodless face gradually regained some color.

And his chest, which had almost ceased to rise and fall, also slowly began to rise and fall again.

"I... am I dead?"

After a moment, Gu Qianyue opened his eyes somewhat dazedly.

But the scene before him was not the hell he imagined; it was the Gu Family Manor.

The person before him was not the ox-head horse-face soul-reapers or the like, but Gu Chen.

"What dead or not dead, do you think I'd come bury you with you if you died?"

Gu Chen chuckled.

This time, before leaving, Gu Han specially left him several Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruits, just in case.

But even he never imagined that there would actually be a time to use the Heavenly Universe Spirit Fruit.

Gu Qianyue remained silent for a few breaths, then recalled the situation again.

"There are enemies in the dark, waiting for a chance to strike at our Gu Family disciples?"

Nowadays, the place of the Six Clans Grand Competition is a mix of fish and dragons, with crowds of people.

Even if someone makes a move, they would hardly be able to discern who the opponent really is.

Such enemies lurking in the dark are an absolute major threat to the Gu Family disciples.

Gu Chen nodded; since Gu Qianyue had guessed it, there was no need to keep hiding it from him.

"It's the Elder of Heavy Sword Peak, Li Kaisan."

After hearing Gu Chen briefly explain the situation, Gu Qianyue couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

"How could the elders be so bold as to still organize the Six Clans Grand Competition with a Martial Venerable lurking in the dark, eyeing them like a tiger?"

If a Martial Venerable attacks from the shadows, unless another Martial Venerable is nearby, even a Martial Master would find it hard to detect.

If given enough time, Li Kaisan could probably slaughter all the Gu Family's younger generation present, leaving none alive.

"Don't worry, the elders certainly have countermeasures."

Gu Chen gave a light smile.

"Moreover, Li Kaisan's target is mainly Gu Han."

"Gu Han isn't in the clan today, and your performance just now was also outstanding, which is what provoked the enemy's killing intent."

"As for the other Gu Family disciples, he probably wouldn't act recklessly, lest he reveal his identity."
