Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 305: Endless Road
Gu Xiaoxing looked at the many people who had reached the Great Perfection of the Jindan realm with great excitement. Over the past ten years, apart from occasional sparring with Xiao Zhuhuo and a few others, he had hardly fought with anyone, let alone any serious battles.
Therefore, Gu Xiaoxing had been itching to do something, so he prepared to teach these young people a lesson, to let them know that he, Gu Xiaoxing, never brags and never tells lies!
The others had a joking look on their faces, they were all geniuses from various major forces in the Xuantian Domain. The Xuantian Palace had changed hands only twenty years ago, and its foundation was unstable. For example, among this group of geniuses, none of them was from the Xuantian Palace!
The only ones who can make these powerful forces fearful are Lord Xuantian and the Holy Maiden.
Therefore, even if Gu Xiaoxing is the real prince consort, they don’t need to worry too much in this barrier world, not to mention that this matter is most likely fake!
Otherwise, why would Lord Xuantian send a person in the late Jindan stage to this barrier world? Wouldn't that be pushing his own son-in-law into the fire pit with his own hands?
Therefore, the more arrogant Gu Xiaoxing's attitude became, the more unfriendly their eyes became, and many of them were even thinking about taking action.
Although there are still doubts about Gu Xiaoxing's identity, after all, he was taken over by Lord Xuantian himself. It is not good to kill him so blatantly, but it is always okay to teach him a lesson, right?
And Gu Xiaoxing was already ready to take action.
But at this moment, He Zhiruo stepped in front of Gu Xiaoxing and faced everyone, which made Gu Xiaoxing startled.
Not only Gu Xiaoxing, but also other people were stunned when they saw this scene. One of them said dissatisfiedly: "He Zhiruo, do you want to stand up for this person?"
He Zhiruo had a smile on his face, saying, "This person and I are friends, and I should stand by him."
These words made many people frown, and they were obviously afraid of He Zhiruo.
Compared to this little star who appeared out of nowhere, they are very familiar with He Zhiruo's name!
He Zhiruo, Zhanxianmen...the ninth true teaching!
It is rumored that his talent is even better than his eight senior brothers. The reason why he did not enter the barrier world ten years ago was simply because he was only at the foundation-building stage ten years ago!
Being able to go from foundation building to the great perfection of Jindan within ten years, even in the Nine Heavens Realm, this is considered to be the level of an unparalleled genius. Some people have even heard that He Zhiruo is already touching the legendary... end!
Although this matter cannot be verified, there is no doubt that He Zhiruo is already the most outstanding genius of the Zhanxian Sect in modern times. In addition, the Zhanxian Sect is already a first-class force in the Xuantian Realm. All these factors combined make him much more intimidating than a Xuantian prince consort who has no persuasive power.
But soon another person stood up, with a thunder mark on his forehead and a defiant look. He looked directly at He Zhiruo and said tit for tat: "Others are afraid of you killing the Immortal Sect, but I ask Cang Gong if he is not afraid. He Zhiruo, get out of the way. This person slandered the Saint's innocence without reason. I will definitely teach him a lesson for Senior Brother Shen!"
Senior Brother Shen?
Gu Xiaoxing narrowed his eyes, remembered this person, and was already really angry. He said no more, took a step forward, ready to suppress them first, and then interrogate them in detail.
But He Zhiruo once again stood in front of Gu Xiaoxing and advised: "Brother Gu, don't be impulsive, let me do it!"
Gu Xiaoxing had already clenched his fists and was ready to attack, but was interrupted. He felt depressed, but when he saw He Zhiruo's expression, which seemed like he was willing to go through fire and water for his friend, he didn't know how to get angry.
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to say, "Brother He, everyone has their own share of responsibility. You should just watch from the sidelines to avoid being implicated. Besides, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. There is nothing to be afraid of. There is no need for you to take action!"
When He Zhiruo heard this, the Immortal Sword in his body trembled. He immediately saw through the other party's lie and realized that Gu Xiaoxing was bluffing and didn't want to get involved.
After seeing through this, He Zhiruo couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He just regretted making friends with someone who was so considerate of his friends. This was really wrong!
"Brother Gu, there is no need to say more. How could I, He Zhiruo, be the kind of person who would watch his friends fall into trouble and remain indifferent? You and I face it together, so what should we be afraid of?" He Zhiruo said with a serious face.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned, thinking, is this guy sick?! You are just a small jellyfish, won't it hinder me if you go up? Besides, if you make a move, will I have to share the things I grab later?
Each of these young men is a disciple of a large sect in Xuantian Domain. One can tell at a glance that they are a group of rich people. Gu Xiaoxing is itching to fight not just because he wants to fight. He is not interested in a fight that has no benefit.
The main reason is that he hasn't done his old job for a long time. Looking at the bulging storage bags on these young people, Gu Xiaoxing felt envious. There must be a lot of treasures in them. How could he be willing to share them with others!
But it would be too hurtful to say such a big truth. After all, the other party really wanted to help, so Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said again: "Brother He, it's really not necessary. Don't worry, I, Gu Xiaoxing, never talk big. You don't need to do anything. I can handle them alone!"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword in He Zhiruo's body suddenly trembled violently. He realized that the other party had told a big lie, and his heart was immediately moved. Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, he still kept trying to get close to him, fearing that he would implicate others. How lucky he was to have such a virtuous friend!
He Zhiruo looked at Gu Xiaoxing sincerely and was about to speak, but the people around him were unhappy because Gu Xiaoxing's words were too arrogant and he didn't take everyone seriously at all. They were all geniuses from major forces, how could they tolerate this!
"Not only did he slander the saint's reputation, but he also dared to speak so arrogantly. He is courting death!"
The disciple from Wen Cang Palace could no longer bear it, and took action directly. Without any warning, he slapped out with his palm, and the aura of the great perfection of the Jindan realm burst out in an instant. That kind of power and heaviness was by no means comparable to that of an ordinary Jindan realm. He was worthy of being a disciple of a major sect in the Xuantian Realm!
But to Gu Xiaoxing, it was just that. There was no change on his face. His eyes flashed and he was about to attack. However, He Zhiruo was one step ahead of him again. He swung out a knife and collided with the palm, creating a violent impact that was deafening.
But none of the people present were simple enough to withstand the impact easily. Looking ahead, they saw two people confronting each other, with waves of cultivation surging out, which was extremely terrifying.
There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the disciple of Wen Cang Palace. He did not expect that He Zhiruo could block his attack so easily. But then, a strange smile appeared on his face and he said, "You are indeed very strong. Maybe I am not your opponent, but if I just want to hold you back for a while, it won't be difficult!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lightning mark on the forehead of the disciple of Wen Cang Palace suddenly lit up, emitting dazzling lightning, and countless lightning threads gushed out, madly wrapping around He Zhiruo.
He Zhiruo was immediately shocked, but it was too late to dodge at such a close distance, and he was completely swallowed up by these lightning threads in an instant.
The disciple of Wen Cang Palace burst into laughter immediately, and then suddenly rushed towards Gu Xiaoxing. His smile gradually became ferocious, and then gradually turned into horror. In his constantly changing eyes, a burning incense head suddenly came towards him.
At first, the burning incense head was only the size of two fingers, but then it began to grow rapidly. When it was in front of the eyes, it was like a huge volcano crashing into them, and all that was left in front of the eyes was a bright red color.
But it was not as scorching hot as imagined. This was just Gu Xiaoxing using the Fang Cun Shentong burning incense to poke the other party. He had tried it a long time ago. Although the burning incense was always burning, it was different from the secular combustion. It had no temperature and could not ignite other things through contact. It was very strange.
The disciple of Wen Cang Palace only felt an irresistible terrifying force coming at him. The next moment, he vomited blood and flew backwards. His speed was so fast that he even turned into a residual image in the air and flew straight out of the Taoist platform. You can imagine how terrible this attack was!
Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, all with looks of shock. What... just happened?
Gu Xiaoxing waved the burning Taoist incense in his hand. To be honest, it had been a long time since he had used it to hit anyone. Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he looked at everyone.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they felt a little creepy looking at Gu Xiaoxing's smile, especially the attack just now, which made them even more frightened.
They knew the strength of the disciple from Cang Palace. Even among their group of geniuses, he was one of the best. However, he was blown away so easily that they were unable to react for a while.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't care what they thought. Finally, no one came to interfere. He picked up the burning Taoist incense and smashed it over without hesitation.
In an instant, the burning Taoist incense stick that was only three feet six in length in Gu Xiaoxing's hand turned into a pillar of heaven in the eyes of everyone, descending from the sky with tremendous power . Before it fell to the ground, the terrifying power had already made it difficult for everyone to stand, and they couldn't even muster the thought of resisting. Only one thought came to their minds.
This girl is in the late stage of Jindan?
Boom...!
The burning incense fell down, and the entire Taoist platform shook violently. Everyone at this moment suffered a severe blow, and all of them vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Only Gu Xiaoxing was still standing alone, holding a burning Taoist incense and looking down on everyone. These geniuses who had been so arrogant a moment ago, at this moment, showed expressions of fear after feeling Gu Xiaoxing's gaze.
Amidst that fear, there was also horror, disbelief and incomprehension. They didn't understand why a person in the late Jindan stage could possess such terrifying strength!
In fact, they didn't know that Gu Xiaoxing still held back in the end, otherwise, few people present would have survived.
Although these people are the geniuses of the major forces in the Xuantian Realm, their strength is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators who have reached the perfect Jindan stage, and their cultivation foundation is extremely deep and solid!
But the great perfection of the Jindan stage with a solid foundation is still just the great perfection of the Jindan stage. Gu Xiaoxing was able to fight head-on with the Yuanying stage ten years ago.
This is the gap in levels, which is difficult to cross, unless they can surpass the limit of Jindan like Gu Xiaoxing!
If the limit of Jindan is the end, then Gu Xiaoxing at this moment has undoubtedly embarked on another path, a path that belongs only to him!
An...endless road!
