Chapter 85 - Gu Tian Reappears! Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Scripture!

After hearing Gu Han’s shout, Fatty immediately got chills.

Fucking epic! To survive, he’s even calling someone ‘Father’! The hero we all need!

For a moment, he even felt inferior to Gu Han.

Look! This is what you call knowing when to yield and when to stand firm!

Unexpectedly, their enemy actually halted and even faltered slightly. His pure black eyes gradually reverted to their original color, and his demonic qi subsided rapidly. Savagery and confusion alternated in the man’s eyes, as if he was desperately suppressing the inherent demonic nature in his bones.

“You... You... are... Han’er...”

Gu Han said, his words catching in his throat, “Father, it’s me! You’re not dead after all!”

That man was Gu Tian, who was presumed to have died long ago. During this period, the Gu family’s betrayal, the world’s misunderstanding, Jiang Hong’s provocations, and Du Teng’s lethal trap all unfolded in succession. Back then, Gu Han hadn’t batted an eye. Yet seeing the once heroic and lofty Gu Tian reduced to this state, grief inadvertently welled up inside Gu Han, tears streaming down his face.

Fatty stared at Gu Han, dumbstruck.

Oh damn, I thought he was acting! Turns out that guy really is his father? Wait, since he’s on our side, then we might have a chance!

His heart leaped with joy. Fatty suddenly turned serious, quickly bowing in salute. “

Ahem...

Uncle Gu, I am—”

Gu Tian suddenly went mad again. A wave of demonic qi erupted from him, soaring skyward, sending Fatty flying instantly.

“Gu family! Gu Chang! I will kill... all of you!”

Gu Tian’s memory was still stuck on the scene of being betrayed by Gu Chang. Seeing Gu Han in this state, he assumed they were responsible.

Gu Han grew extremely anxious at the state of his father. Enduring the torment of demonic qi, he pressed on desperately, reaching for Gu Tian. “Father, Gu Chang is dead! The Gu family is gone too! Father, I have avenged you.”

Under Gu Han’s repeated calls, Gu Tian regained a sliver of rationality.

“Dead... dead... Tell me... who... injured you?” When he saw Gu Han’s condition, a flash of heartache passed through his eyes, and he almost lost control again. “I... will kill him...”

From afar, Fatty shouted loudly and pointed at the deep pit, “That’s him, Uncle! That bastard tried to kill me and Brother Gu. Tell you what, Uncle, this guy is no good, you absolutely must not let him—”[1]

Before he could finish, Gu Tian’s figure had already shot into the sky, landing directly in front of Tian Heng. “Kill!”

Tian Heng was still dazed, barely grasping what had happened. The great demon that severely injured him for no reason turned out to be Gu Han’s stepfather?

He struggled to stand up and put on a sincere face, cupping his hands. “Sir, I think there must be some misunderstanding here—”

A large hand wreathed in demonic qi greeted him back. Before Tian Heng could retaliate, Gu Tian had tightly gripped his neck, slamming him into the ground.

Gu Tian’s eyes turned pure black again. “You hurt my... son... Die...”

Tian Heng was scared out of his wits. “Sir, let’s... talk this out—”

Those were the last words he ever spoke, before a massive explosion shook everything around. Even after beating Tian Heng to death, Gu Tian didn’t seem to be satisfied. The demonic qi around him surged even more, his fists swinging repeatedly, as if deliberately venting the killing intent and brutality in his heart.

Amid the earth-shattering tremors, Fatty sneaked back to Gu Han’s side. He gulped hard. “T-that’s your father?”

“Yes.”

“Then the voice that appeared during the last demonic beast riot was probably him too?”

Gu Han nodded. He now realized that Gu Tian had been hiding in the Wild Forest all along, and Gu Han had missed him last time. Moreover, Gu Tian’s appearance and voice had changed drastically. If Gu Han hadn’t seen him with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have recognized his father.

Fatty seemed to gain immense confidence, his voice becoming much louder. “That’s great! With our father here, no one can bully us anymore!”

Gu Han felt repulsed. Fatty’s shamelessness defied all reason!

Then, Fatty leaned in closer and asked quietly, “How could our father have fallen to this state?”

Gu Han didn’t speak.

A month ago, Gu Tian was only at the ninth stage of the Acupoint Unsealing realm. Now, not even a Soaring Realm cultivator like Tian Heng died instantly at his hands. Gu Tian’s cultivation speed was completely abnormal.

Gu Han didn’t even need to think twice. The golden seal and the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Scripture definitely had something to do with this! He made up his mind that after this matter was over, he had to demand an explanation from the black shadow.

Under Gu Tian’s full-powered onslaught, the pit had become several dozen zhang deep, and the terrain within a thousand zhang radius was completely devastated.

Fatty couldn’t help but swallow hard and stole a glance at Gu Han. “Our father seems a bit irritable...”

Thinking of the previously forthright and open-minded Gu Tian, Gu Han’s eyes dimmed slightly. “He wasn’t like this before, but no matter what he became, he would never hurt me.”

Fatty sighed in relief. “That’s good! That’s really good!”

Gu Han hesitated slightly. “As for you, I can’t be too sure.”

Fatty stiffened. “Brother Gu, you can’t joke about something like that...”

One loud explosion boomed after another, and Fatty’s heart trembled with each one. At last, Gu Tian stopped, as if he had vented all the killing intent in his heart. Not a single strand of Tian Heng’s hair remained.

In a flash, Gu Tian returned to Gu Han’s side. His gaze fell upon Fatty. “Han’er, who... is he...”

Seeing the endless brutality and killing intent hidden in Gu Tian’s eyes, Fatty’s legs went weak with fear.

He put on a serious expression. “Uncle Gu, my name is He Zheng. I am a good brother who has shared life and death, hardships and tribulations, never abandoning nor forsaking Gu Han.” He said with a serious expression, solemnly displaying five fingers. “By the way, before you arrived, I saved Brother Gu five times. A full five times!”

Upon hearing this, the brutality and killing intent in Gu Tian’s eyes faded slightly. “Bro...ther... Good...”

Fatty felt as if a huge burden had been lifted. He had a vague inkling that even one wrong word would get his head rolling.

Gu Tian no longer paid Fatty any heed and grabbed Gu Han. His voice was icy, yet it betrayed a trace of hidden worry. “Let’s... go... heal your wounds...”

After saying this, he took Gu Han and soared into the sky.

Fatty was hopping mad with anxiety. “

Huh?

Uncle! Uncle! I-I haven’t gotten up yet, don’t leave me behind!”

Gu Han wasn’t as shameless as him, and said helplessly, “Father, he,

uh,

can actually be considered my friend. Bring him along.”

Gu Tian replied stiffly, “Fine.”

A wisp of demonic qi extended downwards, promptly tying Fatty up securely. Then, they sped away.

All along the way, Fatty had no idea how many trees and giant rocks he crashed into, howling miserably nonstop, “Yo!!! That hurts so much! Uncle, slow down, I’m injured! Brother Gu, say something!!! If this continues, I’ll be dead!”

Gu Han pretended not to hear.

Ahahaha! Fuck you, Fatty! Serves you right!
