Stronger by Killing

Chapter 640 -340: Annihilation, Breakthrough, New Rules (Part 2)

Mu Qingfeng had also developed a strong interest in this Martial Arts True Body, but in the end, he could not find such a person and gave up.

Today, he finally saw it,

At the first instant he set eyes on Gu Zhan’s Martial Arts True Body, he knew that his apprehension was justified. The Martial Arts True Body truly deserved the Cultivation Realm’s attention.

Just by looking at Gu Zhan now, he already felt the impact of that will.

Gu Zhan’s Martial Arts Will was an Invincible Will, a Venerable Will, and this impact was exceedingly intense. So intense that it made Mu Qingfeng, a Venerable who had formed a Celestial Sword Array and could supposedly fight against a Great Sect Leader, lose much of his fighting spirit, even feeling an urge to bow in submission.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingfeng said solemnly, “I don’t believe that mere thousands of years of martial arts, a few years at its pinnacle, can defeat the foundation of tens of thousands of years in the Cultivation Realm!”

A giant hundred-zhang figure roared, with a voice as loud as a colossal bell, echoing between heaven and earth. Wielding a giant sword dozens of zhang long, he slashed toward Gu Zhan. The hum was like a sea of thunder, reminiscent of a dragon’s roar, resounding in the void, shocking the heart.

Gu Zhan remained expressionless, punching out fiercely. The fist light was extremely sharp, as if it were a Supreme Magical Artifact forged by a deity, gleaming with golden light, unleashing an indestructible killing intent, clashing with the giant sword.

The terrifying power’s turbulence caused many palaces in the Imperial City to collapse.

At the same time, the Celestial Feather Ancestor seized the gap in the clash between Gu Zhan and Mu Qingfeng to launch a sneak attack with a powerful magical artifact, directly stabbing toward Gu Zhan’s chest.

At that instant, Mu Qingfeng’s face changed, urgently shouting to stop it, but the Celestial Feather Ancestor’s confident strike was extremely fast, neither intending to stop nor capable of doing so. Similarly, the dozen Golden Core Cultivators behind were unrelenting, attacking with terrifying force.

The Celestial Feather Ancestor’s face was full of confident smiles,

However, when the magical artifact pierced Gu Zhan’s chest, his smile froze,

“Bang!”

A silent sound, the void distorted, with a Nascent Soul Cultivator and a dozen Golden Core Cultivators striking together. The power was astounding, the killing intent world-shaking, as a myriad of lights gathered into a terrifying attack.

Yet, Gu Zhan remained unmoved, letting those attacks hit his chest, observing them calmly.

The magical artifact in the Celestial Feather Ancestor’s hand was a very sharp spear. However, when the spear struck Gu Zhan’s chest, it emitted a loud metal clang, producing intense sparks, and then broke.

The other Golden Core Cultivators’ artifacts were even less resilient. Many shattered directly, some even seemed to melt as if under extreme heat,

For a moment, everyone was shocked, frantically retreating, but at that moment, a fist like a giant mountain descended from the sky, instantly blocking out the sky and sun, the earth cracking, runes constantly flickering.

The fist glowed all over, the golden light dazzling, as if a deity bathed in silvery flames, exploding with a piercing roar, pushing the power to its limits, resonating with the heavens and earth.

“Boom,” “Boom,” “Boom”

The Golden Core Cultivators exploded like fireworks, blood mist filling the air.

Only the Celestial Feather Ancestor could barely hold on, the spear’s shaft already bent into a bow shape, his whole body crashing down like a meteor, a massive impact as he spat a mouthful of blood, yet felt a sense of relief surviving the disaster.

Because at this moment, Mu Qingfeng’s rescue arrived, catching Gu Zhan’s fist with his giant sword, accompanied by a huge roar, stopping the momentum of Gu Zhan’s descending fist.

The Celestial Feather Ancestor took a long breath of relief,

But at that moment,

A finger descended from the sky, piercing down directly,

“Elder Mu, save me!”

The Celestial Feather Ancestor let out a miserable scream.

“Boom,” a loud noise, his whole person directly pressed into blood mist by that finger.

[Origin Value +2000]

At that moment, Mu Qingfeng, in a hundred-zhang giant form, was already scared by Gu Zhan’s invincible might, losing much of his fighting spirit with Gu Zhan’s easy massacre of Celestial Feather and others. He retreated crazily, his feet trampling one palace after another, retreating to the edge of the Imperial City.

“Boom”

Mu Qingfeng fiercely slashed the God-Trapping Array,

The God-Trapping Array, which already had cracks, shook violently under this strike, the cracks widening.

Mu Qingfeng showed a hint of a smile, swinging the giant sword again, sword qi light soaring, overwhelming power, merging with the essence of heaven and earth like a furnace burning, releasing immortal radiance, Mu Qingfeng’s eyes shone brightly.

Unfortunately, he still couldn’t succeed. As he slashed the third sword, Gu Zhan stood before him, catching that giant sword with his bare hands, the figure unmoved, solid as a rock.

Letting out a muffled groan, Mu Qingfeng staggered back, fear showing in his eyes.

Gu Zhan grasped the giant sword with one hand, the other swinging a fist down.

“Boom”

A thunderous explosion, earth-shattering, the terrifying blast wave shattered countless palaces, a large part of the Imperial City collapsing, the giant sword directly shattering.

“Ah…” “Ah!”

Screams rang out, the cultivators who had transformed into swords all revealing their true selves, some exploding into blood mist, others falling and coughing blood.

In Gu Zhan’s hand appeared a black long whip, vibrating it forcefully, instantly exploding into ten thousand zhang of golden light. The jet-black long whip turned golden yellow, divine power skyrocketing, vast as the sea, sweeping in all directions, directly striking the Sword Elder of the Giant Sword Sect.

“Boom”

The Sword Elder of the Giant Sword Sect couldn’t even make a scream, directly turning into a mist of blood.

[Origin Value +1800]

At this point, Mu Qingfeng, terrified and retreating from Gu Zhan’s punch, crashed into the city wall, breaking it with his feet, yet was blocked by the already nearly shattered God-Trapping Array. Rebounding with terrifying force, Mu Qingfeng fell to the ground.

The giant hundred-zhang figure toppled, causing immense damage, with palaces shattering, the ground cracking, and the sky filled with dust and ruins amidst the wind and snow.

Mu Qingfeng’s Dharma Aspect was broken, lying in the rubble, vomiting blood, his black hair instantly turning white, his aura weak. Struggling to crawl out of the brick ruins, he shouted to the sky, “Your Majesty the Martial Emperor, I was wrong, I beg you for a way out, I am willing to surrender…”

The heavens roared, rubble soaring,

The only response to Mu Qingfeng was a massive fist, vast as if blocking out the sky and sun. As it descended, Mu Qingfeng seemed utterly insignificant, under the terrifying pressure, the earth sank, Mu Qingfeng’s legs bending to kneel, then from his body came the sound of bones cracking, followed by a deafening “Boom,” his body shattering into pieces.

[Origin Value +5000]

In that moment,

A system notification sounded in Gu Zhan’s mind,

He immediately restrained his power, his hundred-zhang true body vanishing, returning to his normal body, quickly retrieving a set of clothes from the Spatial Ring and changing, then striding toward the outside of the Imperial City.

The wind and snow descended once more,

The rubble danced, the booming continued,

Gu Zhan walked alone in the ruins, where he passed, rivers of blood flowed.
