Chapter 750 - 749: Gu Yuexi is a Vase? You’re Not Running, and Still Going to Take It Head-On?
Chapter 750: Chapter 749: Gu Yuexi is a Vase? You’re Not Running, and Still Going to Take It Head-On?
"It’s that... beautiful woman who so many teams wanted to invite."
Someone recognized Gu Yuexi and whispered.
"Yeah, that’s her. Back at the foot of the mountain, she rejected every team’s invitation. So arrogant."
"She turned down our team—all of us at the Peak of the Profound Understanding Realm—without a second thought. She didn’t know what was good for her."
"Forget the Peak of Profound Understanding Realm. She didn’t even care about teams with Half-Step Divinity Transformation cultivators. She must be a disciple from a Sect with a powerful background, out here for training."
Everyone recalled being rejected by Gu Yuexi.
They didn’t know her name.
But her cold, otherworldly aura was unforgettable. It was impossible not to remember her.
But what good was being beautiful?
Hadn’t they seen a cultivator at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm get killed in a single swipe by the Hell Three-headed Dog?
’You’re only in the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm. What can you possibly do in here?’
’Seduce the Hell Three-headed Dog?’
’Get it to let you pass?’
’Who even knows if the Hell Three-headed Dog is male or female!’
In any case, not a single cultivator believed Gu Yuexi could contend with the Hell Three-headed Dog.
One cultivator, who wasn’t a bad person at heart, even cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted a warning.
"Miss, don’t come in! Run!"
"This Hell Three-headed Dog has a Void Refinement Realm Cultivation! You’re in the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm. Coming in here is suicide!"
The other cultivators nodded in agreement.
They thought that upon hearing the warning, Gu Yuexi would surely recognize the danger and retreat.
That she would turn and flee in a panic while she was still near the entrance.
That was the normal reaction for a normal person.
But reality was...
Gu Yuexi paid the kind-hearted cultivator no mind, nor did she spare a single glance for the others in the corner.
From the very beginning, her gaze was fixed on the towering Hell Three-headed Dog, her eyes as calm as still water.
She walked toward the Hell Three-headed Dog one step at a time. Her pace wasn’t fast, but it was incredibly resolute.
"THUD... THUD... THUD..."
In the quiet cavern, the sound of her footsteps was exceptionally clear, like a drumbeat pounding on the hearts of the cultivators awaiting their deaths.
"Wait... what is she doing?"
"She’s not actually going to fight the Hell Three-headed Dog, is she?"
"Can you even call that a fight? More like serving herself up on a platter."
"A Half-Step Divinity Transformation cultivator was killed in one swipe. If she goes up there, the Hell Three-headed Dog could kill her with a sneeze."
"Sigh... what a waste. So beautiful, and with such a death wish at her young age."
"Don’t feel sorry for her. We’re not getting out of this alive, either. It’s a dead end for all of us."
"..."
Huddled in the corner, the cultivators pointed at Gu Yuexi and muttered amongst themselves.
They had completely lost the will to fight.
They just hoped that after the Hell Three-headed Dog killed Gu Yuexi,
it would rest for a while before coming to deal with them.
Under the despairing and pitying gazes of the crowd,
Gu Yuexi slowly walked up to the Hell Three-headed Dog, stopping about a dozen meters away.
Meeting the six mocking eyes of the Hell Three-headed Dog,
Gu Yuexi slowly opened her mouth. Her voice was cold, and though not loud, it echoed throughout the entire cavern.
"Get out!"
"Or die!"
The moment she said this, the cultivators in the corner, who were waiting for death, were all completely flabbergasted.
Their jaws dropped so wide you could fit an egg in them.
’What’s going on?’
’Is she really that arrogant?’
’Or is it just that the ignorant know no fear?’
’No, that can’t be right!’
’You’ve already reached the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm through your Cultivation. Did you just lock yourself up at home to do it?’
’Have you never been out to train?’
’Don’t you understand the crushing difference in Realms?’
’The Hell Three-headed Dog is two whole Grand Realms above you! Crushing you would be easier than squashing a mosquito!’
’Huh?’
’Wait, why is there a mosquito on your shoulder?’
’Is that some kind of new fashion accessory?’
Not a single cultivator paid any mind to the tiny mosquito.
And not a single one took Gu Yuexi’s brazen words seriously.
They just felt that,
while this Female Cultivator was certainly beautiful, she didn’t seem to have all her wits about her.
Didn’t they see? After hearing Gu Yuexi’s provocation, the Hell Three-headed Dog just froze for a second.
And then...
it started to laugh?!!
Yes, it laughed.
All three of its heads grinned at once, revealing sharp fangs.
It was as if it had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
The mockery in its eyes was practically overflowing.
It even tilted its three heads back in a human-like way and let out a low howl.
"AWOOO~~"
The sound made the entire cavern buzz, and rubble rained down from the ceiling.
Gu Yuexi frowned and retorted flatly,
"You’re a guard dog. Why are you trying to howl like a wolf?"
"It’s awful."
Hearing this,
the Hell Three-headed Dog’s laughter died abruptly.
Its three heads lowered at once.
Six eyes stared daggers at Gu Yuexi, radiating malice and murderous intent.
It spoke for the first time, its voice hoarse and rough.
"Human, you have successfully angered me."
It raised its enormous right paw, aiming it at Gu Yuexi.
The tips of its claws glinted coldly, radiating a scorching wave of heat.
"Prepare to face my wrath!"
"WHOOSH—"
Before the words had even faded,
the Hell Three-headed Dog’s paw, carrying a searing gale, swiped at Gu Yuexi like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast it left only an afterimage.
If that swipe landed,
even a cultivator at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm would be flattened into a meat patty.
’It’s over.’
The two words popped into the minds of the cultivators in the corner.
"Dozens of us cultivators couldn’t escape the Hell Three-headed Dog’s claws just now."
"Yeah, and many of them were experts at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm. None of them could dodge it."
"This Female Cultivator is only in the Late Stage of the Profound Understanding Realm. There’s no way she can dodge it. She’ll probably be turned into paste instantly."
"This Female Cultivator truly has zero combat experience!"
"Even if you can’t dodge, you should at least unleash your Power of Law to block it!"
"At least that way, you might not be turned into paste. You might even leave half a corpse behind."
They were accustomed to life and death.
But even so, they couldn’t bear to watch.
In their eyes,
Gu Yuexi was standing rooted to the spot, as if scared stiff. She made no move to evade, completely resigned to her fate.
"Well, we should probably start thinking about how to die a little more quickly."
Someone sighed, already contemplating their own demise.
Just as they were about to look away from Gu Yuexi and accept reality,
dazzling golden lights suddenly burst forth from around her.
The golden light rapidly shifted and materialized, forming pauldrons, a breastplate, vambraces...
Piece by piece, they fitted themselves onto Gu Yuexi’s body with perfect precision, leaving no seams.
The final piece, an exquisite Crown inlaid with a deep blue Gemstone, descended and settled upon her brow.
The instant the full set of Empress Battle Armor was equipped,
Gu Yuexi’s entire aura changed completely.
She was no longer the useless, pretty-faced young lady they had taken her for.
Instead, she was like a peerless Divine Venerable who had descended to the mortal world, radiating an inviolable, sacred majesty.
Before the astonished eyes of the crowd,
Gu Yuexi slowly unsheathed the Godslaying Ruins Sword.
The blade let out a clear, ringing cry as it radiated a chilling light.
Facing the colossal paw swiping down from the Hell Three-headed Dog, she gave her wrist a gentle flick and swung the sword upward in a seemingly effortless motion.
"What is she doing?"
Their shock gave way to utter confusion. The cultivators awaiting death were dumbfounded.
Anyone facing a full-powered strike from the Hell Three-headed Dog would choose to dodge without hesitation, putting as much distance as possible between them.
’But you.’
’Not only are you not dodging,’
’you drew your sword to face it head-on!’
’This isn’t just having a death wish anymore.’
’You’re just plain crazy!’
With a deafening CLANG of metal on metal, the Hell Three-headed Dog’s paw came crashing down.
A cloud of dust billowed out, obscuring everyone’s vision.
