Jiang Yi was somewhat enraged. âYu Hua, you...â
Yet Yu Huaâs face was devoid of any emotions. âEradicate the roots! Leaving them alive is a hidden danger. I donât think I need to remind you what awaits you if todayâs events spread!
Jiang Yi fell silent.
Yu Huaâs gaze shifted to Gu Han, his tone filled with intense hatred. âYou bastard, in the end, you still have to die by my hand.â
Jiang Feng still clung to a sliver of hope. âInstructor Yu, do you know the consequences of doing this?â
Gu Han patted him. âBrother Jiang, itâs pointless. You wonât get through to them. Since they dare to do this, they must have made thorough preparations.â
Seemingly in a very good mood, Jiang Hong became more talkative. âYou are quite clever, Seventh Brother. I gave you a chance earlier, but you failed to take it, so donât blame me for not showing you mercy.â
Gu Hanâs brows furrowed slightly. âLet me ask you something. Did Du Teng send you?â
Jiang Yi snorted coldly. â
Hmph.
Youâre about to die, whatâs the point of knowing so much?â
Gu Han shook his head. âI see. It seems I overestimated the influence of Qingyun Pavilion.â
Jiang Hongâs face changed. âWhat did you say?!â
Gu Han felt a sense of vindication at his expression. âQingyun Pavilion! What about it?! That very Qingyun Pavilion, the one you desperately tried but failed to enter, came to me first! I even passed their test just a moment ago!â
Jiang Hong instantly clenched his fists, his good mood vanishing without a trace. âWhat?! Youâre lying!â
Gu Han stared at him with some pity. âYou really are a pathetic piece of shit!â
Jiang Hong glowered at Gu Han. âInstructor Yu, do it! I want him dead.â
Expressionlessly, Gu Han slowly raised his sword. âYou want to kill me? Fine! But youâd better be prepared to be killed by me too.â
Fatty cried out with a bitter face, âDo we really have to fight to death?!â
Jiang Feng was very dissatisfied at fattyâs whining. âHe Zheng, if we die, we die, thereâs nothing to be afraid of. How can you still... at a time like this...â
Gu Han suddenly stared at him with a serious expression. âBrother Jiang, you should leave.â
âWhat??â
âYouâre too weak. You canât contribute at all. Staying here would just be a pointless death. Besides, I have a task for you.â Gu Han didnât bother to mince his words. Then, he took out a certain token. âTake this and give it to Manager Murong. If I donât make it back, tell him my request is simple. Mobilize the entire Murong familyâs strength to treat Ah Shaâs illness, and take good care of her.â
Fatty looked at it eagerly. âActually... I could do that too! And I run especially fast, you know that. Itâs just Ah Sha, right? Donât worry, I will definitelyââ
Gu Han interrupted him. âFatty, if you leave, none of us will survive today.â
Fatty fell silent as he understood perfectly well. Only by joining Gu Han and fighting to the bitter end could they carve out even a sliver of hope for Jiang Feng. If even one was missing, it wouldnât work. Whether he or Gu Han left, the final result would be them being picked off one by one, all dying here.
Jiang Fengâs eyes were red. âBrother Gu, I wonât go. I canât possibly leave you here and live on alone like a cowardââ
Gu Han flew into a rage. âGET OUT OF HERE!â
Jiang Feng was stunned. In his memory, this was the first time Gu Han had gotten so furious.
Gu Han stared fixedly at him. âI am your savior, you owe me! So do exactly as I say! Your seventh prince status is useless in front of me! Get lost now!â
Jiang Feng was dazed for half a moment, bitterly saying, âAlright, I understand...â
Yu Hua wore an expression of disbelief. âLeave? You think he can leave? Do you take us for decorations?â
Jiang Yi said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, âExactly! I can crush two mere Acupoint Unsealing realms with one hand.â
Chen Fang waved his hand, full of mockery. âEnough. We would just have to let them suffer our wrath.â
âThat day, the two deputy deans asked me just how strong I am. I said I didnât know...â Gu Han abruptly shifted the topic. The aura around him gradually rose. âActually, I really didnât know, but this is the perfect chance for me to verify it by using you..."
As his voice fell, his qi locked firmly onto the three men, the madness in his eyes growing increasingly intense. In the next moment, his cultivation base erupted completely, spreading a violent and extreme spirit pressure out. All the dead branches and leaves on the ground were swept away.
Jiang Yiâs pupils constricted. âWhat... Essence Gatheringâno! Heâs not at the Essence Gathering realm! W-why is his spirit power so strong?!â
Although Gu Han was only at the seventh stage of Acupoint Unsealing, the intensity of the spirit power around him was far more terrifying than most Essence Gathering realm cultivators.
Jiang Hong clenched his fists tightly. âWhy...?â
Gu Hanâs strength was increasing so fast that even Jiang Hong, who was Great Qiâs number one genius, couldnât hope to match it.
Beside them, Liu Yingâs face was slightly pale. A thought surfaced in her mindâa regret for opposing Gu Han.
With an angry roar, Gu Han appeared beside Jiang Feng. Grabbing his shoulder, Gu Han threw him with all his might. âGo! Donât look back! Donât think about saving us!â
Jiang Fengâs eyes were bloodshot, his heart bleeding. He frantically urged his cultivation without regard for the cost, running forward madly. He simply didnât dare to look back. He knew that this sliver of chance for him could come at the cost of Gu Han and Fattyâs lives.
Fatty was a little envious, but even after hesitating for a long time, he still didnât flee the battlefield. âI...â
Yu Huaâs eyes blazed with killing intent. "Who said you can leave?! I said you canât, so you wonât!â
Aiming for a swift resolution, Yu Hua and the other two also went all out. Three powerful auras descended upon the scene, each significantly stronger than Gu Hanâs. Hence why despite being shocked by Gu Hanâs strength, Yu Hua remained nonchalant. After all, Gu Hanâs cultivation level was still too low in the end.
On the other hand, Jiang Hong could no longer bother about Gu Han and wanted to chase after Jiang Feng. âGo! We canât let him escape!â
Gu Hanâs low, frantic voice rang out. âStop! If you want to chase him, youâll have to go through me first!â
Yu Hua stopped Jiang Hong. âYour Highness, this brat is not worth fearing. You stay here, Iâll go kill that oneâ
hm?
â
Before he finished speaking, his expression shifted dramatically. Even Jiang Yi and Chen Fangâs expressions turned grave. Gu Hanâs aura was actually rising once again!
Strangely, his spirit power actually took on a trace of red. It was his demonic path supernatural ability, the Blood Spirit Art.
