Chapter 1266 - 1266 231_2

1266: 231_2 1266: 231_2 Boom!

Immediately after, everyone saw a visible shockwave emerge, radiating outwards in all directions.

“Ah…”

For a moment, the young cultivators watching the scene all rolled on the ground like gourds, shouting as they were thrown into the distance.

As for the six people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect who had surrounded Gu Chen, they didn’t even have time to finish speaking before all six, six bodies, exploded into a bloody rain that scattered across the sky!

Gu Chen stood still in his place, with no action taken, a layer of light screen appeared, protecting him and Blood Jade, leaving him unblemished, not a single stain reaching his body.

He had been very precise with his attack, the spectators were only shaken and knocked back, but not injured, and Blood Jade beside him was unharmed, merely letting out a cry of alarm.

From this, it could be seen that although Gu Chen had just broken through a few days ago, his control over his own strength was already masterfully meticulous.

At this moment, Blood Jade at his side was completely stunned, covering her red lips lightly with her hand, standing there dumbly, unsure of what to say next.

This scene had truly exceeded her expectations; suddenly, she really had been given quite the scare, gripping Gu Chen’s sleeve tightly with her palm.

As the young master of the Blood Orchid Clan, who was always so bold and valiant, it was rare for her to show such a demure side; if some acquaintances were to see this, they would surely be astonished.

“This…”

The other young cultivators, looking at the ground littered with pieces of flesh and bone, were for a moment all silenced as if stunned by cold.

It was quicker than slaughtering chickens, the six from Ten Thousand Stars Palace and Unrestrained Sect didn’t even have time to react before they were instantly killed in the blink of an eye.

Even now, the entire city was still shaking a bit, one could imagine just how powerful Gu Chen’s strike had been.

Or, to say, it was his physical body that was too strong, using just a bit of force triggered the Protective Array of the city.

Hum!

At that moment, above the firmament, a streak of starlight flashed by, transforming into a figure, it was an expert from Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

“Only one person?” At this time, Gu Chen also noticed the newcomer’s arrival.

Tong Hui stood high in the sky, looking down at the chaos below, and after Ten Thousand Stars Palace’s team received the message, he hurried over to support.

As for the leading chief and Unrestrained Sect’s senior brother, they felt that this small matter didn’t require those two to take action, Tong Hui alone could resolve it.

After all, he had reached the late stage of the Union realm, ranking fifth among the direct disciples of Ten Thousand Stars Palace!

With him stepping in, the chief of Ten Thousand Stars Palace naturally felt at ease.

Swoosh!

The next moment, he arrived on the ground, glanced at the pieces of flesh and broken bones, and walked away with some disdain, saying, “Where are my junior brothers?”

Tong Hui scanned his surroundings, searching for the whereabouts of the four from Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

Next to him, those young cultivators opened their mouths as though wanting to speak, but were quickly silenced by their companions covering their mouths, touching Ten Thousand Stars Palace’s bad side at this time was akin to seeking death!

Truth be told, Tong Hui really hadn’t thought that much; he knew his junior brothers had encountered trouble, but he didn’t expect that, with forbidden weapons in their hands, they wouldn’t last even a moment.

Moreover, even at their worst, the reputation of Ten Thousand Stars Palace was there; whoever took action should have had some restraint.

He had only thought that a battle had just taken place and didn’t pay much attention to it.

On the other side, Blood Jade stood there, also unavoidably feeling a little shocked; if this late-stage Union realm expert from Ten Thousand Stars Palace were to learn the truth, wouldn’t he go crazy?

“Are you looking for someone?” At that moment, Gu Chen stepped forward and calmly asked.

Tong Hui gave him a glance.

He, of course, could not recognize Gu Chen after he had resumed his true appearance.

At the same time, as a disciple of the immortal-level Daoism, he carried himself with pride and was somewhat reluctant to pay attention.

But the matter concerned the whereabouts of his junior brothers, and it was somewhat urgent.

Tong Hui then asked coldly, “Have you seen my junior brothers?”

“Naturally.” Gu Chen nodded.

Tong Hui’s brow raised as he followed up, “Where are they?”

“Right under your feet.” Gu Chen pointed to the flesh and broken bones on the ground, along with some severed limbs.

“Hmm?!”

Upon hearing this, Tong Hui was startled, his whole body jolted, and he stared wide-eyed at the ground.

Upon closer inspection, Tong Hui recognized them by the remnants of their garments in the flesh; they were indeed his four junior brothers and those from the Unrestrained Sect.

“Was it you?!”

By now, how could Tong Hui not know that the one who had taken action was Gu Chen?

He had been played!

“You’re courting death!”

He coldly shouted, extending his hand, shimmering with starlight, unmercifully aiming to slap Gu Chen’s head and take his life with a single blow.

“Be careful!”

Blood Jade was somewhat nervous on the side.

After all, that was a late-stage Unification realm disciple of an immortal-level Daoism, whose strength was absolutely formidable.

Gu Chen’s expression was calm.

The sole reason he acted this way was to repay the kindness Blood Jade had shown him in the past; returning favors was a principle he lived by.

Moreover, he already held some grudges against the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, so this action was even more justified.

Spurt!

Facing the full-strength blow of Tong Hui, a late-stage Unification realm master, Gu Chen merely extended a single finger, so ordinary, yet in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the other’s palm.

“Ah…”

The next moment, Tong Hui’s scream rang out.

His face twisted in horror, eyes filled with shock, and his instinctive response was to retreat.

But by then, it was already too late.

The speed of Gu Chen’s strike was incredibly fast, like lightning, like a bolt of electricity.

It was just one finger, without even employing his cultivation, but in Tong Hui’s perception, it was as if the sky was collapsing; he had nowhere to dodge!

That single finger had already sealed off all his routes of retreat, forcing Tong Hui to confront Gu Chen head-on.

“Kill!” Tong Hui was also decisive.

With a loud shout, he prepared to fight to the death with Gu Chen.

Pop!

The next moment, a soft sound, and Tong Hui’s entire body stiffened in place, his eyes wide open with life fading from them bit by bit.

Gu Chen’s finger moved fluently and swiftly, piercing directly through the forehead of Tong Hui, the late-stage Unification realm expert, accompanied by the rushing flow of fresh blood, he fell to the ground.

At this moment, the entire city, everyone who witnessed this scene, fell completely silent, staring dumbfounded at the man standing there, as if watching a silent film.

Because this was truly heart-shocking!

A good while passed before a cultivator finally spoke, his voice trembling, “Something…

something big has happened!”

Indeed, at this moment, everyone realized that the chief of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, upon learning of this incident, would definitely not let it go and was bound to come here in person!
