Chapter 189: Chapter 144: Sword Beheading the Devil Clan’s Genius_3

But even the fleeting moment did not escape Gu Wen’s Primordial Spirit’s perception, for the marvel of the Five Spirits Primordial Spirit lay in its ability to extend Divine Thought effortlessly in the Immortal Land.

Gu Wen stood up, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Fortune truly turns with time."

Bad news, their location had been exposed.

Good news, they were strong.

-----------------

Within the mountains and rivers, a dark shadow undulated through the forest.

With a wolf’s head on a human body, it could leap a hundred meters at a time, the newly-arrived member of the Devil Clan in the secret realm. It had purposely returned to urge those left behind to clean up the aftermath, determined to leave the Human Race without a single Spiritual Medicine.

If not for the sturdiness of the secret realm, they would have even considered destroying the realm itself.

But no sooner had it entered the secret realm than it smelt the scent of blood, which made it, inherently wary, immediately retreat and start to flee.

It had not spotted Gu Wen and the others but guessed that the blood might be due to some conflict that had broken out.

But whatever the cause, it did not prevent it from seeking reinforcements; after all, it was not something it could stop if a real fight ensued.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Rapidly gliding over the treetops, the view opened up.

On a hill in the distance stood a handsome, red-haired youth with his hands resting behind his back, and behind him stood a servant dressed in yellow robes, both seemed normal except for their vertical pupils.

In those vertical pupils glinted a ferocity not belonging to humans, cold and full of malice.

Upon seeing the approaching Wolf Demon, the red-haired youth murmured softly, "Idiot."

He then severed the connection with the distant ones, fearing others would come to steal the kill.

"Report! My lord, the situation in the secret realm..."

The Wolf Demon hurriedly approached within ten steps of the duo, knelt on one knee, but before it could report the situation, an overwhelming force ground it into the earth, mixing blood and flesh indistinguishably with the mud.

Boom!

A beam of golden light shot forth, breaking dozens of large trees, causing the ground to tremble and sink.

Dust surged like waves toward the red-haired youth and the yellow-robed servant, as an effulgent golden light pierced through the dust. A golden figure stood atop the carcass of the Wolf Demon, with an ordinary man on its back.

Chi Yu Zi raised her hand to make a fist, dispersing the surrounding dust with the force of her punch, her voice cold as she said, "A mutt and a yellow-skinned old slave, hand over my lady’s belongings, and I will grant you a swift end."

"Truly arrogant."

The red-haired youth tilted his head slightly, looking down on the two with disdain. His gaze quickly focused on Gu Wen as he said, "So you are Red Dust? I thought some God had mastered the so-called number one sword of heaven and earth. To think it was just someone of your level, with only a Fifth Transition Golden Core."

He shook his head in disappointment, gradually revealing the number of cores he possessed.

Seventy-five cores, bloodline of the Divine Beast Suan Ni, and his aura was vaguely on par with Chi Yu Zi.

This generation of the Devil Clan had some advantages every thousand years, but it was uncertain how it would turn out in actual combat.

"The lord Suan Ren..."

Suan Ren spoke with a lofty and noble demeanor, far from wild or barbaric, a stark contrast to those Wolf Demons.

He seemed about to introduce himself fully to inform Gu Wen and Chi Yu Zi of his noble lineage.

Much like Zhao Feng, much like the grandees of Dragon Bridge in Bianjing.

Gu Wen gathered his thoughts, one hand pulling Chi Yu Zi closer to whisper in her ear, "You just hold onto him, I’ll take care of chopping off his head."

What he was lacking now was not offensive means, but rather that no other methods could match his offense.

However, combat relied on the overall method, sheer strength was useless if one couldn’t hit the opponent, and all else was mere illusion.

As soon as the words were spoken, Chi Yu Zi turned into a golden light and reached Suan Ren in an instant. Suan Ren was not unguarded; he had already formed dozens of defensive measures in front of him.

But under the rampant Golden Light Spell, those defenses were as good as nonexistent.

Chi Yu Zi reached out and grabbed Suan Ren, whose body burst into True Fire in defense, which would reduce an ordinary person to ashes, but the Golden Light Spell was completely unaffected.

Confusion crossed Suan Ren’s face, wondering to himself why she was holding onto him like that.

But this was not how one typically fought.

Clang!

The Immortal Sword emerged from its sheath, and as Gu Wen swung it toward Suan Ren’s head, he saw in the void, in an inch of space, layers of rainbow light form a barrier for defense.

A treasure similar to the Life-saving Pearl, the Devil Clan scion was similarly equipped.

He was bound to die under this sword, so the treasure acted automatically to protect its master.

But what was the point?

With the Immortal Sword’s residual image, the sword sheath of the Immortal Sword, the Sword Cultivation Skill, plus half of Gu Wen’s Fourth Transition Golden Core mana.

Being held by Chi Yu Zi and left for him to strike, even if a Venerable was present, Gu Wen dared to claim he could decapitate them.

The Immortal Sword paused briefly before swiftly sweeping across, and a head soared into the air.

At this moment, the yellow-robed servant reacted, unleashing an incredibly powerful attack that came roaring in.

Chi Yu Zi let go of the headless body and turned around to shield Gu Wen from the attack, allowing the Spell to hit her instead, the forces even spreading a golden light that enveloped Gu Wen.

Losing all life, Suan Ren transformed into a beast, resembling a lion with a head as large as a cart, and a body tens of meters long, even without its head.
