Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Refusal and Struggle

Jing Yan felt a chill in his heart!

This elder in a red dress was none other than Gu Luoshui, and moreover, a terrifyingly powerful being from the Saint Realm.

But why was Gu Luoshui appearing here?

More than half of the Saint Realm human martial artists perished in the great war against the Human Gods over four thousand years ago, yet some of the Saint Realm warriors did not die in that battle. Those who survived subsequently vanished, never again seen on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

This Gu Luoshui had actually been hiding on the Heavenly Origin Continent all this time.

Jing Yan suspected that Gu Luoshui must have been hiding in a place similar to the Qiankun Small World, which he feared lay within Gu Wanquan. Clearly, Gu Wanquan was aware of Gu Luoshui’s presence, indicating some degree of communication between them.

As for Gu Luoshui’s continued concealment, there might be some kind of reason or restriction forcing her to do so.

Now, with the Gai Family on the brink of annihilation, she had no choice but to reveal herself to prevent Jing Yan from slaughtering the Gu Family members.

"Senior Tianshui!" Jing Yan communicated with Tianshui through his thoughts.

"Jing Yan, we are done for. That old woman is indeed Gu Luoshui; I recognize her!"

"She is a Saint Realm warrior. You could never be her match. If she wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t be able to resist. Moreover, while your Sky Wings are fast, you are not of the Saint Realm, and Gu Luoshui with a single thought could limit your speed," Tianshui’s anxious voice flooded Jing Yan’s mind.

Jing Yan’s face paled slightly.

Things seemed to be very grim indeed.

Jing Yan had led the martial artists of the Glory Alliance to attack the Gai Family and never anticipated that the Gai Family would have a Saint Realm martial artist hidden away. He was prepared for Gu Wutian’s emergence, but Gu Luoshui’s appearance was something beyond his imagination.

"Senior Tianshui, even though you haven’t told me, I have my own guess. There shouldn’t be any martial artists of the Saint Realm on the Heavenly Origin Continent now, right? If Saint Realm warriors could walk the continent, there wouldn’t have been thousands of years without any sighting of them," Jing Yan managed to say, suppressing his shock.

"You guessed right!"

"Gu Luoshui is of the Saint Realm. According to the rules set by the Guardians, she truly should not appear on the Heavenly Origin Continent. However, her situation is obviously special. She must have been concealed within a small world, with her presence completely isolated, thus she has been able to remain. Now that she’s revealed herself, she won’t be able to hide again. After dealing with you and the Glory Alliance, she’ll likely leave," Tianshui explained.

Jing Yan furrowed his brow.

"Guardian?" Jing Yan heard the term for the first time.

"Never mind that for now; you better think about how to save your life!" Tianshui urged.

What to do now?

Duel with Gu Luoshui of the Saint Realm?

Jing Yan had seen what just happened: his own Holy Light Sword Technique, laden with Sword Intent, had been silently dissolved without Gu Luoshui even lifting a finger.

With just a small application of the Power of Laws, Gu Luoshui could render his attacks utterly ineffective.

How could he contend with Gu Luoshui with such a disparity?

"Old Ancestor Luoshui, please slay this bastard Jing Yan and exterminate the Glory Alliance. These people, all of them deserve to die—they have killed countless of our Gai Family!" Gu Wanquan continued to bow as he spoke.

Gu Luoshui glanced at Gu Wanquan and nodded.

"Jing Yan!" Gu Luoshui called Jing Yan by his name.

"Actually, I quite admire you," Gu Luoshui said, her gaze on Jing Yan, a faint smile on her face, "A martial artist like you, before the war against the Human Gods, did not exist on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Therefore, I think it would really be a pity to kill you outright."

"Now I’ll give you a choice, a chance to live. If you don’t want to die, then choose to come with me! If you agree, I’ll spare your life. Of course, as for the Glory Alliance you’ve founded, I’ll kill all of its martial artists myself!" Gu Luoshui’s voice was emotionless.

She spoke casually about destroying the Glory Alliance, as casually as if she were speaking of stepping on an ant, without any emotional fluctuation.

"I don’t have much time, and neither do you to consider. I will give you three breaths to decide. If you don’t come with me, then you must die," Gu Luoshui’s figure seemed to shift slightly.

And the next moment, Jing Yan felt an immense, invisible pressure enveloping him.

Immediately after, Jing Yan found he could not move at all. His body was surrounded by an intangible force, as if it were suppressed.

An ordinary person might not understand this power, but Jing Yan could sense it was the omnipresent force of the Laws.

"One!"

"Two!" After Gu Luoshui used the Power of Laws to bind Jing Yan, she began counting.

"There’s no need to count—I can’t possibly go with you," Jing Yan called out loudly.

Go with Gu Luoshui?

That was definitely out of the question! Going with Gu Luoshui, perhaps he would not be killed, but he would lose his freedom completely.

There were many things Jing Yan couldn’t let go of on the continent. How could he just walk away like that?

Furthermore, even if he went with Gu Luoshui, she still intended to kill all the members of the Glory Alliance. To live while everyone else dies? That’s not in keeping with Jing Yan’s principles.

"Alliance Leader!"

"Alliance Leader Jing Yan, you really don’t need to consider us!"

"Even if you don’t go with her, she will kill all of us anyway."

Many of the Alliance’s martial artists called out to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan turned his head, smiled at them, then shook his head.

"Jing Yan, are you sure?" Gu Luoshui’s expression darkened.

"Sure!" Jing Yan roared.

"Boom!"

His Primordial Energy burst forth violently, his Sword Intent sweeping out.

In that instant, the Power of Laws used by Gu Luoshui was forcefully pushed back by Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s third-layer Sword Intent contained a portion of the Power of Laws, so with all his strength, Jing Yan could push the Power of Laws away within a certain range.

Next, Jing Yan extended his arms, and various Array Plates appeared.

Primordial Power was channeled into them, all activated in one breath.

One by one, the Array Plates were activated, flying towards Gu Luoshui.

Jing Yan had quite a few Advanced Array Plates on him. Given the situation, he no longer had time to deliberate and had to take things one step at a time.

Throwing out dozens of Advanced Array Plates in one go, they flew towards Gu Luoshui, enveloping her in terrifying Array Formation Energy.

"Quite tenacious, aren’t you? Even now, you choose to resist!" Facing the oncoming barrage of Array Plates, Gu Luoshui remained calm and unruffled, smiling as she made this remark.
