Chapter 285: Liao Lun's Relief

"Whoever says this, I can understand."

Gu Han seemed to have heard a huge joke, coldly laughing repeatedly,

"But I never expected that these words could actually come out of the mouth of someone like you!"

"You're on good terms with Gu Cang Shan that old dog, you act as my enemy and strike at me, I can understand."

"But when you moved against Brother Qian Yue and my sister, did you ever consider the saying 'misfortune does not affect the family'?"

"You, as an elder of Heavy Sword Peak, as a mighty Martial Venerable! When you attack these juniors, did you ever consider the saying 'bullying the weak with strength is disgraceful'?"

"Even when dealing with Brother Qian Yue, you only dared to hide your head and show your tail, not daring to act openly!"

"This shows you still know in your heart that bullying the weak is disgraceful, and you have a little bit of shame, but not much!"

Li Kaisan's face had already turned deathly pale, but at this moment he actually blushed from shame,

"Don't say any more..."

"No, perhaps in your eyes, it's just a sneak attack on Brother Qian Yue, making it easier to continue attacking my sister."

"As it turns out, I still overestimated your sense of shame."

Li Kaisan is now a turtle in Gu Han's jar.

He had long since prepared himself to die today at Gu Han's hands.

But after being hit by Gu Han's verbal barrage, Li Kaisan was instantly overcome with shame.

"Stop talking, I'm telling you to stop talking!"

"You worthless scum who dares not take responsibility, I never thought someone like you could actually become an elder of Heavy Sword Peak; it seems the so-called top power of Jiannan Prefecture is nothing more than this."

Gu Han's sneering voice fell into Li Kaisan's ears, yet it was naked ridicule.

"I won't allow you to insult Heavy Sword Peak!"

Li Kaisan stared at Gu Han with eyes nearly bursting.

He had struggled his whole life just to join Heavy Sword Peak and stand out.

Becoming a Martial Venerable was merely achieved later through a fortunate coincidence.

One could say Heavy Sword Peak was the pursuit of his entire life.

Gu Han's dismissive attitude toward Heavy Sword Peak deeply stabbed Li Kaisan's fragile heart.

"I… will fight you to the death!"

Li Kaisan let out a hysterical roar, and the aura within his body suddenly surged violently.

Just like a bomb that could explode at any moment!

The five Martial Venerables felt this surge, their faces slightly changed, and they urgently growled.

"Little Friend Gu, quickly distance yourself from this fellow!"

Even though he was on the brink of death just now, Li Kaisan had never used this martial technique.

From this it's not hard to see that this should be Heavy Sword Peak's life-for-life technique!

Exchanging lives with someone already at the end of their rope is absolutely a losing bargain.

The five family heads immediately burst backward, leaving the explosion's range.

But Gu Han seemed to have become dazed, staying in place.

Only seen, a flash of cold light appeared in Gu Han's hand.

A faint golden light flickered up before the already self-detonating Li Kaisan.

"This is…"

Looking at the holy aura emanating from the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, and its brilliant light.

In Li Kaisan, whose consciousness lingered for its final moment, the ferocity in his eyes gradually softened.

And the violent turbulence in that space also gradually subsided.

Countless invisible black particles surged out from Li Kaisan's body.

And the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear became the formation's eye, sucking in all those black particles.

"Good… so full…"

The tender voice of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear sounded in Gu Han's ear, leaving him startled.

"You can speak?"

However, the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear should have just learned to speak, making it difficult to answer Gu Han's question.

However, Gu Han noticed that the aura of the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear seemed no longer the original heavenly supreme grade.

But rather, it had broken through the limit again.

It had reached the king rank!

If it were other spiritual artifacts, after breaking through to king rank, there would be hope for the initial birth of spiritual consciousness.

But the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, as a growable spiritual artifact.

Its foundation is far higher than that of other spiritual artifacts.

Before long, there will be hope that, like the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng, it can freely communicate with him!

Meanwhile, the five family heads who had already distanced themselves far away, upon seeing the turbulence suddenly cease, were all astonished.

"This explosion… could actually be interrupted?"

They all had a strange thought arise in their hearts.

Could it be that this fellow Li Kaisan is unskilled in his arts, doesn't care about this life-for-life technique, and thus failed to successfully explode at the critical moment?

After all, when one wants to use this martial technique, it's basically predetermined that they will surely die.

Ordinary people also wouldn't put too much effort into this martial technique.

"Hmm… this speculation is very reasonable."

After all, the one nearest to the blast's shockwave was Gu Han.

There's no way they'd guess that Gu Han stopped the explosion, right?

Compared to that possibility, it's obviously more reasonable that Li Kaishan's skills are lacking.

The five family heads flew toward Gu Han, but they sensed a fierce aura flash past before him.

Their hearts all tightened.

This surge gave them a sense of mortal danger!

But when their gaze fell on Gu Han, they found nothing present.

The five furrowed their brows, sensing that Gu Han's mystery far surpassed their imagination.

"What are you looking at, family heads?"

Gu Han put away the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear and looked at the five with a grin.

"No… nothing."

The five exchanged an embarrassed smile,

"We just wanted to confirm whether that fellow was dead."

Gu Han gestured, gathering Li Kaishan's shattered remains.

"Let's go; it's time to leave here."

Afterward, Gu Han took the lead flying out of the scroll space.

The five family heads glanced at each other and then followed.

Upon arriving in the outside world, the members of the Six Great Families had already filled every deep crater left by the battle's aftermath.

Only those large martial arts platforms remained.

Since there were no spares, they needed to be remade.

Just as Gu Han was about to greet Gu Chen and the others, he saw the City Lord in a dark robe, Liao Lun, had arrived.

Gu Han and the five family heads each bowed to Liao Lun.

Liao Lun nodded and asked curiously,

"Who killed Li Kaishan and the others earlier?"

He hadn't intended to ask, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity and apprehension.

Before Gu Han could reply, everyone's gaze turned to him.

Liao Lun's pupils narrowed slightly.

He had thought maybe a powerful expert valued the Gu family's talent.

So they came to help the Gu family resolve a life‑or‑death crisis.

But he never imagined that this was actually Gu Han's work!

Thinking of this, Liao Lun felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, he had agreed with Zheng Yingde to ally with Gu Han.

This was absolutely the right decision of his life.

There might not even be a runner‑up!

Gu Han's strength might now exceed his.

Doesn't this mean that Gu Han's future prospects likely reach far beyond Ben Lang Guo?
