Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1160 - 170: Settling New and Old Scores Together_2

As soon as these words were uttered, the Ninth Prince's face immediately darkened. He had just thought of making a move, but someone else was faster than him.

"Raving mad, deserves to be hit!"

As the voice fell, all present only saw a fleeting shadow, followed instantly by a crisp slap.

Subsequently, they turned their gaze and saw on the famously talented Wang Su's left cheek from across dozens of realms, a huge red palm print had appeared, and his cheek was swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Gu Bai... you're courting death!" Initially stunned, Wang Su was soon awakened by intense pain. Suffering humiliation under the watchful eyes of the public, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation and burning rage.

It was then that people saw Gu Chen still standing in his original spot, as if he had never moved at all, which made many spectators shudder.

"This Gu Bai!" Mo Chen of the Dragon Sparrow Clan narrowed his eyes, recognizing the skill in the act — the stronger one was, the more one could perceive the terror in what Gu Chen had just done.

"Very strong!" Lu Xin of the Seven Stars Sect was also shaken.

"This brother-in-law of mine... really should not be underestimated." The Ninth Prince was also somewhat surprised and took another look at Gu Chen.

The First Prince's expression shifted slightly, and the Second Prince was startled, as it was his man who had been hit.

However, before he could speak, Wang Su had already charged forward, obviously having lost his rationality.

"Gu Bai, I want you dead!"

Wang Su's eyes were bloodshot. Humiliated before everyone, his pain was evident as he, with the body he had just recently remolded, planned to crush Gu Chen beneath his feet, making him beg for mercy loudly.

Only this would satisfy the hatred in his heart.

Smack!

The next moment, another crisp sound rang out, and Wang Su was sent flying back even faster than he had come.

This time, Gu Chen had made his move, and hardly anyone in the audience could see it clearly.

Such a scene made Princess Xidie feel somewhat familiar, and she couldn't help but steal a glance at Gu Chen, chuckling quietly.

Gu Chen stood still, clad in black robes, his hair loose, his eyes calm and unfathomably deep, creating not even a ripple, as he quietly gazed at Wang Su.

The consecutive slaps brought Wang Su back to his senses. He fell on his buttocks on the ground, looking fearfully at Gu Chen.

The anger that had clouded his mind had now vanished.

He was not foolish; those two moves had shown him the gulf between himself and Gu Chen.

At the same time, he was puzzled. With such strength, why had Gu Chen remained unknown until recently when he ascended the Dao Gold List?

"Apologize!"

Gu Chen looked at Wang Su, and finally, only said those two words.

Clearly, he meant that Wang Su should apologize to Princess Xidie.

"I..."

At that moment, Wang Su's face was flushed. As a celebrated talent across dozens of realms, it was very hard for him to apologize to someone in front of so many people after being slapped twice.

"Gu Bai, don't go too far!" The Second Prince stepped out at this point, with a grim expression.

"I'd advise you not to meddle!" At this moment, Gu Chen, with an indifferent expression, slightly turned his head and glanced at the Second Prince, speaking these words.

Whoosh!

As soon as he spoke, the place instantly became tumultuous, with everyone looking at him in disbelief.

"Isn't this too domineering?" someone couldn't help but murmur, their eyes turning into little stars.

After all, that was the second prince of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. Being a royal, when had he ever been scolded like this?

Although it was just a single sentence, it appeared extremely imposing in everyone's eyes, especially to Princess Xidie. Seeing Gu Chen standing up for her, she too was somewhat surprised, a flash of admiration sparkling in her eyes.

"How dare you talk to me like this? Who do you think you are!" the second prince also grew angry, his aura boiling over, shaking heaven and earth.

Confronted by the second prince's challenge, Gu Chen's expression remained indifferent. His eyes were deep, his words shocking, striking hard, which caused the second prince's complexion to drastically change and darken to the extreme.

"Who do you think you are, just a mere prince, yet you truly think you're the emperor of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty? You are not even worthy to point fingers at me!"

Gu Chen's words were sharp as clashing swords, causing a huge sensation in the area and making the crowd gasp in astonishment.

Actually, out of consideration for Princess Xidie, Gu Chen had not wanted to go to extremes, but the second prince was being insufferable, pushing his luck, so naturally, Gu Chen wouldn't continue to indulge him.

Having angered him, Gu Chen didn't care whether you were a prince or not, he would settle scores first.

Since things had already been laid out openly and nearly everyone had gathered here, Gu Chen had no more reason to hide his intentions.

Thereupon, he shifted his gaze to Lu Xin of the Seven Stars Sect, who suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

"Is a battle starting? Gu Bai is defying the heavens, does he intend to take on two by himself? If so, I declare he will be my idol from now on!" numerous people felt their hearts pounding, incredibly tense upon witnessing this scene.

Lu Xin frowned, somewhat uncertain. Could Gu Chen really manage to fight two at once?

"What swagger!" the ninth prince exclaimed, constantly sizing up Gu Chen.

However, just then, a chilling voice suddenly erupted, causing the temperature in the area to drop to its lowest.

"Gu… Bai!"

The crowd saw a tall, ruggedly featured young man approaching with a dark expression.

It was none other than the eldest legitimate son of King Zhenan—Yuan Qian!

Among the crowd, he had the deepest grudge against Gu Chen.

However, the two had never met face to face before, so Gu Chen furrowed his brows at first, not recognizing Yuan Qian.

"Gu Bai, you caused me to lose my hereditary qualification, I will flay you a thousand times over!" Yuan Qian bellowed, his eyes shadowed to the extreme.

Hearing this, Gu Chen instantly recognized who this person was, causing his expression to turn icy cold, making the atmosphere across the whole area even heavier. An intangible aura spread, causing many in the crowd to tremble.

"Yuan Qian?" Gu Chen's voice was equally frosty. He clearly remembered what had happened at the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's court.

If it were not for Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu arriving in time, a monumental tsunami and earthquake would inevitably have erupted, shaking the Holy Brilliance Dynasty to its core!

Therefore, Yuan Qian was indeed on Gu Chen's list of people to eliminate!

Rarely had his intent to kill been so intense; it could be said that Yuan Qian had truly angered Gu Chen.

As the saying goes, adversaries are particularly loathsome upon meeting, and the aura around both Gu Chen and Yuan Qian boiled over, causing the earth and sky to tremble ceaselessly.

"Perfect, today, old scores and new grudges, I shall settle them all!" At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes glinted coldly, he surveyed his surroundings, ready to confront a multitude alone!
