"Oh? You actually know me?"
Gu Jianye revealed a look of surprise, clearly not expecting Deng Ze to casually uncover his identity.
Deng Zeās expression grew serious, his body clustered with heavy Water Elements, constantly shifting forms.
His voice came through, "A Word Spirit Superpower User, a master with a main attribute of 100 points, once the second-in-command of Yang Baoshan, bribed by Beichen Island, and during the battle between Yang Baoshan and Beichen Island, you ambushed Yang Baoshanās boss, Pushan Lie."
"Your name, Gu Jianye, is like thunder in this area."
Gu Jianye chuckled softly, saying, "Seems you have indeed investigated me; I am curious, who are you?"
"My people told me that the Dark Abyss Mouth has a master with a main attribute of 100 points, always hiding outside, and every time the Dark Abyss Mouthās trash is about to be wiped out by us, you jump out."
"What, are you using my men as a whetstone, honing these Dark Abyss Mouth wastes?"
Deng Ze said, "I just didnāt expect you to personally take action this time!"
Gu Jianye shook his head slightly, "Delaying here for too long, if I donāt act, Iām afraid Chang Yuntao will have complaints against me."
"Iāll take your heads to report to Chang Yuntao then."
As he said this, he suddenly pointed at the void without warning and spoke, "Within a hundred feet radius, no elementalization!"
Buzz!
An intriguing force immediately spread out.
Deng Ze only felt his superpower being instantly backlashed, his entire being swiftly retreating from the elementalized state, reverting to a physical state!
This scene left Deng Ze terrified!
This was the first time he encountered such a bizarre combat method!
A single sentence actually forced him out of the elementalized state!
How the hell is this possible?
He hurriedly retreated, waving his hand to launch a barrage of heavy water!
But Gu Jianye appeared indifferent, saying, "Your attacks cannot hit me."
Buzz buzz buzzā
A peculiar buzzing sound rang out, as if a special energy was operating in the heavens and earth.
The sword and blade formed by the heavy water actually twisted and shot off course.
Either colliding with each other and exploding violently.
This uncanny scene made Deng Zeās scalp tingle.
Without a word, he turned and ran!
The opponentās ability was far too strange.
He had no idea how to counteract it!
Right now, the only option was to flee and buy some time for himself.
"This path is blocked!"
A soft chuckle sounded.
Bang!
Deng Ze slammed against an air wall, as if there really was an invisible barrier, forcefully bouncing him back!
Deng Ze was shocked and incredulous.
And at that moment, a palm was already striking from behind him.
Deng Ze was jolted with fear, turning sharply, punching behind him.
"You canāt hit me."
"You will be knocked out by me."
Two consecutive soft laughs followed, then Deng Ze felt a slap on his forehead.
The next moment, his vision went black, and he actually lost consciousness directly!
Gu Jianye, from start to finish, remained indifferent, not even employing flashy superpower skills.
Just a few words and actions, he dealt with Deng Ze, who was once a Priest Level existence in the Water God Sect!
He picked up Deng Ze with one hand and took out a necklace from his chest.
He placed the necklace around Deng Zeās neck.
Then gently pressed, and the runes within the necklace flickered slightly.
This was a Sealing Rune Necklace.
After finishing all this, he glanced down at the battlefield.
Seeing his subordinates at a disadvantage, Gu Jianye removed his glasses, his eyes bearing a touch of coldness.
"A bunch of trash."
He extended his hand downwards and murmured, "My enemies shall not be seen, heard, or moved!"
Buzz!
The powerful buzzing sound rang out again, with invisible ripples instantly covering the entire area below.
In an instant, Han Xiangman and the others felt their bodies shudder, as if a formless force was pressing down hard.
This terrifying power almost instantly caused Han Xiangman and the others to black out, losing vision, hearing, and even the ability to act!
And the last scene they could see was the enemy slashing with a blade.
Han Xiangmanās heart raced, enveloped by a terrifying sense of impending death.
Instinctively, she activated the ring on her hand!
Buzz!
The next moment, space flashed, and her form immediately vanished!
While the opponentās blade swung through, unexpectedly hitting nothing.
Han Xiangman narrowly escaped calamity, but the others were doomed.
Many people from Fan Mountain Town were struck down with a single slash. Some died instantly, while a few luckier ones were only cut on their shoulders.
Those like Wu Ying and Zhang Peng, with considerable strength, immediately activated their defensive stance.
Zhang Pengās body was covered in scale armor. After blocking a fatal blow, he wildly swung his fists, driving away nearby enemies.
However, in the next moment, he was frozen in place.
Wu Ying was very alert, disappearing swiftly into the shadows to escape.
This way, except for a few who escaped with their lives, everyone else on site was captured by Gu Jianyeās men.
Gu Jianye flew down, and a young man quickly ran over, shouting, "Dad, you finally came!"
"If you hadnāt, we might not have been able to hold on."
Gu Jianye snorted, saying, "Is this the extent of your abilities?"
Gu Qingshan couldnāt help but say, "Dad, the opponents are masters with a main attribute close to a hundred points, almost as powerful as you. After Uncle Huang and Uncle Li were killed, how can we fight?"
The Uncle Huang and Uncle Li he mentioned were the masters slaughtered by Deng Ze earlier.
Gu Jianye coldly snorted, saying, "Enough, how many times have I told you, donāt rely on others too much. In this world, you can only rely on yourself."
Gu Qingshan chuckled, "Well, we still have you, donāt we?"
Gu Jianye slapped the back of his sonās head and shouted, "Can I take care of you for a lifetime?"
"Iām not invincible either. When I face someone with stronger spiritual power, my Word Spirit canāt restrict them. What will you do then?"
Gu Qingshan jumped in shock, muttering, "Then weāll just run."
Gu Jianye was speechless. Despite worrying endlessly about his hopeless son, he seemed to have no solutions for him.
He went through great difficulties, even betraying Yang Baoshan and joining Chang Yuntaoās camp to help his son gather the Ice Attribute Genetic Species.
Yet after three or four months, this foolish son still hadnāt increased his power to 100 points.
Most of the resources he had were poured into this useless son.
Thinking about this, he became furious and scolded, "Before the great flood, we scrimped and saved just to buy you a house."
"Back then you squandered your monthly earnings, only thinking of drinking, whoring, and gambling."
"Your mother and I paid the down payment; your sister and we paid the monthly mortgage. Tell me, what have you done all these years?"
"Now, the apocalyptic flood has come, and our family finally has a chance to rise."
"Your sister was violated by those beasts for a morsel, havenāt you awakened any sense of self-reliance?"
Gu Jianye couldnāt hold back and cursed Gu Qingshan thoroughly.
Gu Qingshan, however, was somewhat impatient, saying, "Alright, alright, all you do is scold me. Back then, we all ate the food she exchanged, didnāt we? You and mom ate too, right?"
"And you always say Iām useless. My awakened superpower is Ice Attribute, unlike your impressive āWord Spiritā. What can I do?"
"All you do is criticize me; what do I need to do to satisfy you?"
By the end, he couldnāt help raising his voice.
This scene made Gu Jianye furious, and he slapped Gu Qingshan on the face, cursing, "And youāre feeling wronged? How did I end up with such a useless waste?"
Gu Qingshan also got anxious: "Iām useless? How come you donāt mention Iāve given you several grandsons? Without me, our Gu family would have ended long ago!"
Gu Qingshanās words made Gu Jianye nearly want to slap this unfilial son to death.
"How many decent women have you grabbed and violated, and you dare to boast about it? Dare to take credit for it?"
Gu Qingshan immediately retorted, "In these rotten times, whatās wrong with me playing with a few women?"
"Moreover, if I donāt play with them, theyāll just be played by others since theyāre so provocative."
"If I get with them, theyāre lucky. At least with me, thereās food and drink."
"And donāt criticize me, as if I donāt know that after mom died, didnāt you get involved with those maids by your side too?"
"You little bastard, Iāll beat you to death!"
Gu Jianye raised his hand in rage, truly wanting to beat this brat to death.
Gu Qingshan defiantly held his neck straight, glaring, "Come, kill me, go ahead. Anyway, in this lousy world, Iāve long stopped wanting to live; Iāve long wanted to join mom and my sister."
"Kill me, then go have another obedient son!"
Hearing this, Gu Jianyeās raised hand hesitated in mid-air.
His greatest regret in life was his wife and daughter.
Back then, to survive, his wife and daughter voluntarily sold themselves to the building tyrant.
At that time, he hadnāt awakened his superpower, and for the sake of survival, could only watch helplessly as his wife and daughter suffered humiliation.
Later, he awakened his superpower and killed that building tyrant, but couldnāt save his wife and daughter.
After exchanging the obtained food, his daughter and wife refused humiliation and jumped into the river to commit suicide.
Since then, he only had his unworthy son left.
Sometimes he really wished it was his useless son who had died.
However, before his wifeās passing, her words still echoed in his ears.
"Old Gu, we only have this one boy, no matter what, you must preserve him."
"I donāt matter, but the boy must live."
Gu Jianye took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and cursed, "Get out!"
Gu Qingshan didnāt leave, his eyes darting as he said, "Dad, a few people escaped just now. Canāt you chase them down?"
"That Water Attribute female superpower user was not only powerful but very beautiful. If we could capture her and present her to Chang Yuntao, we might be able to advance further with him."
Gu Jianye sneered, looking at this useless son, "Donāt think I donāt know your intentions. Is it really to present her to Chang Yuntao?"
"Youāre just blinded by your desire, arenāt you? Get lost!"
He kicked Gu Qingshan away.
Gu Qingshan left with a dark face, turning to capture other women.
Gu Jianye frowned, glanced at the spot where Han Xiangman disappeared, and felt a sense of wariness.
"Space-type superpowers... The forces behind the Dark Abyss Mouth must have Space-type superpower users!"
