Chapter 1238: Chapter 215: Fight a Bloody Path Out_2

They saw Gu Chen easily crush the Acquired Spirit Treasure, realized how troublesome he was, and prepared to join forces to eliminate this "thorn."

Thud!

Even two among them summoned even more powerful Pinnacle Acquired Spirit Treasures and launched attacks at Gu Chen.

In an instant, the battlefield around him came to a pause, then many people retreated, leaving a considerable space.

"Die!"

The crowd roared with murderous intent, their eyes icy and eager to put Gu Chen to death.

Here, there was no room for sentiment, as a powerful individual who was alone was the most likely to encounter an ambush.

However, they had ultimately picked the wrong person to challenge and would have to pay the price for their actions.

Bang!

Gu Chen still merely extended one hand and with a light pat in the air, an astonishing wave of energy spread out, a thunderous explosion resonated between heaven and earth, and everything, whether it was the Pinnacle Acquired Spirit Treasures or those from the Huanxu Realm who made a move against him, all shattered to pieces, directly turning into dust on the spot.

Such a scene left countless onlookers around him astounded!

At this moment, over a hundred thousand young cultivators were gathered in fierce battles, but a large part of the battlefield came to a standstill for an instant because of Gu Chen’s achievements.

Strolling as if in a leisurely courtyard, with hardly an effort, it was clear to anyone that he was an extraordinary character capable of making a name for himself in the Upper Realms!

"Let me have a go at you!"

Just then, a chilly voice sounded, and a white-haired man with a pair of sheep horns on his head appeared, diving towards Gu Chen.

"The Sword Immortal from the Qingyang Clan?!" someone exclaimed at the sight of the white-haired man.

The Qingyang Clan, seemingly a common name, but in reality, carried significant prestige, even being considered formidable!

Because this was one of the top fifty powerful clans in the Upper Realms, extremely strong!

The Qingyang Clan, known for their swordsmanship, their sword strokes as elusive as an antelope hanging its horns, ethereal and unfathomable, leaving people struggling to grasp them.

And now, the young man who had taken action against Gu Chen was the youngest talent of the Qingyang Clan’s current generation, known as the "Sword Immortal!"

His swordsmanship was so advanced that he had reached a certain level, and had long been listed on the Dao Gold List, famous across nearly two hundred domains.

Clang!

At this moment, the strongest talent of the Qingyang Clan shone light from his dual horns, and two rays of sword light emerged, cutting through the air, aiming straight at Gu Chen.

Clang!

Gu Chen, unfazed, flicked his fingers lightly and the two sword rays instantly shattered, dissipating into nothingness in the void.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, the white-haired young man known as the Qingyang Clan’s Sword Immortal raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He was indeed extraordinary. Before entering the selection trials, he had just broken through to the early stages of the Union Realm and, with his strength, securing a spot as one in ten thousand seemed beyond doubt.

With his intervention, the spectators watching the fight withdrew even farther, fearing the sword light might bring disaster upon them like collateral fish; dying that way would be too miserable.

"You’ve got some skill; it warrants me drawing my own sword," said the Qingyang Clan’s Sword Immortal.

Then, he flipped his palm, and a sword tool appeared; its fluctuations were strong, faintly reaching the level of Inborn Spirit Treasures!

"Be vanquished!"

The Qingyang Clan’s Sword Immortal attacked, and his sword technique was indeed strong and elusive, accompanied by a vast expanse of white light, misty and beautiful, impossible to see through.

In fighting him, even with full concentration, one could inadvertently be decapitated by his strokes.

However, faced with this so-called Sword Immortal’s strike, Gu Chen still merely extended two fingers and firmly pinched the sword, preventing it from advancing the slightest bit.

"Hmm?!"

This time, the young Sword Immortal of the Qingyang Clan finally changed color. He sensed Gu Chen’s strength and dared not underestimate him anymore.

In an instant, the sound of raging waves from the heavens filled the air, the manifestation of his magical power surging violently within him, channeled into the spiritual sword in his hand, aiming to skewer Gu Chen through and through.

After reaching the Huanxu Realm, spirit, energy, and mind melded into one. The Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal let out a loud shout, circulating all his power, his arm thrusting forward violently.

Crack!

At this moment, a soul-shaking sound rang out. Gu Chen stood his ground, unscathed, but the long sword in the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal’s hand was covered with innumerable cracks!

"How is this possible?" he trembled, a look of horror spreading across his face.

In the higher realms, he had roamed across two hundred domains; although not invincible, he had never encountered such a situation!

Crushing an extreme postnatal spiritual treasure with bare hands, especially one wielded by a monster at the initial stage of the Huanxu Realm, was truly terrifying.

Hisss!

And it was at this moment, in secret, someone took advantage of Gu Chen’s duel with the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal, thinking he was at his limit, fully engaged, and launched another sneak attack.

These were two poisoned flying knives, the blades emanating a green color, strong enough to corrode the heavens and earth, revealing the potency of the poison they contained.

Nonetheless, it was still useless.

With a clang, Gu Chen flicked his finger, shattering the two flying knives before they could get close. Moreover, the residual force of his finger strike, with unyielding momentum, found the attackers in the crowd with extreme precision. The foreheads of the two attackers burst open, blood spraying as they fell to the ground dead.

"Hiss!" Such a scene gave many people around a huge shock.

"Die!"

But at this moment, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal’s eyes flashed, his expression dark, he let out a fierce shout. With a clang, the pair of sheep horns atop his head actually fell off, turning into two dazzling streaks of sword light, tearing through the sky with lightning speed, stabbing towards Gu Chen.

The secret divine ability of the Qingyang Clan!

Such a secret technique could only be employed by the Qingyang Clan, and was rarely used in front of others, meant to strike unexpectedly and draw blood upon its inception or cause certain death.

Otherwise, if too many people became aware of it and prepared against it, the power of this move would significantly diminish.

This Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal did not practice other divine abilities but instead dedicated himself to perfecting this one move, which was comparable to an eighth-grade divine ability!

It must be said, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal had chosen his timing well, striking precisely as Gu Chen finished flicking his fingers to kill those two attackers.

The pair of horns turned into sword lights, elusive and quick, a flash and gone, and before the crowd could react, they were already before Gu Chen’s brow.

"Somewhat skilled." Even Gu Chen nodded in recognition of this move.

"You..." At this moment, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal was stupefied, seeing his seemingly inevitable move effortlessly blocked, he was dumbfounded.

At Gu Chen’s brow, the pair of horns was horizontally countered by his sword fingers. The horns were sharp, causing his fingers to feel threads of pain.

The Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal, hair disheveled, could not believe what he was seeing. He never imagined that a cultivator could block the Qingyang Clan’s secret divine ability so easily, even when caught off guard.

With the swords always striking true, this was the best explanation for the Qingyang Clan’s divine ability, but now, it was upended by Gu Chen.

Crack!

Gu Chen reached out, grasping the pair of horns, and as he exerted force with his palm, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal’s horns also shattered to dust.

Connected in spirit and mind, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal, with a look of terror, uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face rapidly turning ashen.

Bang!

The next moment, as Gu Chen waved his sleeve, the Qingyang Clan Sword Immortal’s body exploded, meeting a violent end.

With more than a hundred thousand cultivators in battle, Gu Chen’s strength was astounding, but the battlefield was vast, and across the entire field, he had only drawn the attention of about a third of the people.

Unwilling to entangle further here, he attempted to extricate himself, yet there were always those who underestimated him, and thus, Gu Chen kept on slaying, inadvertently creating a trail of blood beneath him!
