Chapter 99: One Finger Slays a Martial Sect!

Er ah!!

Furious, shrill howls rang out in the street.

A huge blood hole suddenly appeared on Kuang Nu's shoulder, blood gushing like a spring.

If not for the inner armor protecting him, plus Kuang Nu dodging just in time by a hair's breadth.

Whether he can block this strike remains unknown!

Kuang Nu covered the blood hole and gave a fierce glance at Di Ying, who had already turned back from afar.

Kuang Nu didn't even utter a harsh word, immediately turning and fleeing.

Although Gu Han's attack failed to instantly kill the prepared Kuang Nu,

but it also plunged him into severe injury!

Kuang Nu's injuries are now worse than Di Ying's.

If Di Ying catches up to him, there's likely only a dead end.

"Don't let him get away!"

Di Ying was shocked by Gu Han's terrifying strength displayed, but he hadn't forgotten that the most important thing now was to keep Kuang Nu.

At the moment Kuang Nu turned around, he saw a flaming Flame Hound charging head-on at him.

The flames on the Flame Hound were fiercer than before; the power it unleashed made even the exhausted Kuang Nu feel a tremendous threat.

The severely injured Kuang Nu couldn't dodge in time and could only smash forward with all his might.

Boom!

The heavy hammer and the Flame Hound using Flash Flame Charge collided violently.

The terrifying shockwave spread out, forcibly pushing back even Gu Han, who was preparing a sneak attack.

The Flame Hound at the collision's center was blasted away.

Kuang Nu also surged with qi and blood, spitting fresh blood.

Di Ying, with Wang Keyan, had already turned back; Wang Keyan immediately whipped out her long lash, binding Kuang Nu's arm.

Kuang Nu had wanted to fling Wang Keyan away with one pull, but he hadn't expected that Wang Keyan had already passed the whip to Di Ying!

Caught off guard, Kuang Nu's arm hurt, and the heavy hammer fell toward the ground.

Just then, a cold glint seemed to flash between heaven and earth.

Gu Han borrowed Little Wolf's power, and a single Steel-Cleaving Flash flickered in the air.

In the shocked gazes of Di Ying and the others, Gu Han suddenly appeared above Kuang Nu's head, wielding the Clear Wind Sword.

Kuang Nu let out a heart-rending, lung-tearing scream.

Just because of Gu Han's one Steel-Cleaving Flash, his left leg was chopped off!

Enraged beyond measure, Kuang Nu suddenly grabbed Gu Han's wrist, pulling him down, about to crush his throat viciously!

He must make this young man who ambushed him pay a heavy price!

Seeing this, Di Ying's fury flared to the heavens, and he exerted all his strength to slash out a blade.

A terrifying blade aura slashed toward Kuang Nu's rear.

Compared to Gu Han, Di Ying was clearly the greatest threat.

The already severely injured Kuang Nu suddenly turned and slammed his hammer with all his might toward Di Ying's blade aura.

However, Kuang Nu didn't see the near-contemptuous smile on Gu Han's face behind him.

Gu Han pointed a finger, and the Pure Yang Suppress Demon Finger shot out instantly, piercing a transparent blood hole in Kuang Nu's brow.

Kuang Nu didn't even have time to resist; his eyes widened in shock as he lost strength and fell from midair to the ground.

He hadn't expected that Gu Han's martial technique would be released so quickly.

So fast that, with his strength, he couldn't dodge or defend against it.

Looking at Kuang Nu's corpse lying on the ground, Di Ying also fell silent.

Just a moment ago, he had been evenly matched with him in a tense battle, yet now he died at the hands of a junior.

Even with Di Ying's experience, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Truly, the new waves push the old ones."

Gu Han nodded at the two, then bent over and began quickly searching Kuang Nu's corpse.

Although Kuang Nu, as a suspect, had been imprisoned, Mu Shan Cheng wouldn't go so far as to forcibly confiscate a suspect's storage ring.

After all, Kuang Nu was a proper Martial Sect; his storage ring should contain plenty of good things.

At the same time, Gu Han didn't forget to absorb Kuang Nu's attributes.

"Congratulations, host, for absorbing from Martial Sect Kuang Nu: qi-blood value, 1000 spirit, and 1 point of fortune."

"Congratulations, host, you've obtained a Tier 3 Treasure Chest. Open it now?"

After all, Kuang Nu was the head Gu Han picked up as a leftover; the qi-blood and spirit rewards being slightly less than he'd expected by a bit is understandable.

A Martial Master represents a Tier 1 Treasure Chest, a Great Martial Master represents a Tier 2 Treasure Chest.

A Martial Sect naturally represents a Tier 3 Treasure Chest.

This was also expected.

But what exactly is this fortune?

Gu Han immediately asked in his mind,

"System, what's the use of fortune?"

"Fortune is a symbol of whether a martial practitioner is favored by heaven; the higher a martial practitioner's fortune, the greater the chance of obtaining opportunities in daily life."

"Those favored by heaven won't die even if they fall off a cliff; they'll only encounter powerful techniques and spirit companion partners."

Gu Han couldn't help but twitch his mouth; a person with such outrageous fortune isn't that just the legendary protagonist template?

"Is there a quick way to obtain luck?"

Gu Han immediately asked eagerly.

Even though he now has a system by his side, but who would dislike having too many trump cards?

However, the system's answer left him very disappointed.

"The system temporarily cannot answer the host's question; to obtain luck, one must rely on chance and coincidence."

Gu Han helplessly let out a sigh.

It seems I really don't have a protagonist template after all.

However, Gu Han thought, a golden finger is after all standard equipment for a protagonist, so it's not a loss.

Immediately, Gu Han, under the system's guidance, used his powerful mental strength to directly erase the lingering spirit of Kuang Nu on the storage ring.

He poured his consciousness into the storage ring, only to find that inside there was merely a pile of raw stone resembling a small mound of earth.

Besides that, there were only some notched weapons, damaged armor, and a few changes of clothes.

"Ma De, you're supposed to be a proper Martial Master, yet you're this poor?"

Seeing Gu Han's dejected expression after checking the storage ring, Di Ying quickly reacted and immediately said with a smile,

"Little Gu brother, you may not know, but Kuang Nu and his elder brother Kuang Zhan are merely desperate followers hired by Qiu Lin's faction."

"For such people, all resources are directly used, either to boost their own strength or for pleasure; keeping resources on hand is just wasteful to them."

After hearing Di Ying's explanation, Gu Han finally understood.

Kuang Nu being able to leave behind roughly a few hundred medium-grade raw stones is already not bad.

Gu Han could only vent his resentment on Kuang Nu's corpse.

Di Ying first took a pill to quickly regulate his breath, restoring his condition, and at the same time took out an exquisitely crafted wooden box from the storage ring and handed it to Gu Han.

"What is this?"

Gu Han looked at Di Ying doubtfully, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Di Ying accidentally tugged at his wound, couldn't help but grimace and force a smile,

"Thanks this time, Gu Xiao Friend, for saving my life; I don't have anything good on me now, so this pill will serve as a token of gratitude for saving my life."

"From now on, wherever you can make use of me, just give a call; if Di Ying frowns even slightly, he's not a man."

Gu Han's eyebrows shot up upon hearing that.

He chose to intervene, merely worried that if Di Ying died here while Kuang Nu still lived, Mu Shan Cheng might not be held.

Originally, he hadn't done it for any thanks from Di Ying.

But since Di Ying spoke up first, Gu Han naturally wouldn't refuse and simply accepted it.

"We're all straightforward people, so I won't stand on ceremony."

"Senior Di, heal your wounds first; dealing with those Fellow from Dan Ren Cheng still requires you as the main force."
