At this moment, everyone around, upon hearing Long Renās words, immediately widened their eyes in disbelief, their mouths slightly agape, then turned to Long Ren in shock and said:
"What? Did the Lake Master say that the Azure Dragon actually extracted all the Life Force from the Dark Demon Blade? Thatās just too domineering!"
"The Azure Dragon is indeed worthy of being the progenitor of life, the ruler of Life Force, all Life Force is under the command of the Azure Dragon..."
At this time, everyone around looked in the direction of the Azure Dragon, and a hint of envy welled up in their eyes, but they could only watch from their spots due to the Azure Dragonās might.
Meanwhile, when Gu Lang heard Long Renās words, a flash of rage shot through his eyes, which slightly bulged, and he spoke to Long Ren with resentment:
"Long Ren, give me back my Dark Demon Blade! You finally managed to cultivate the Dark Demon Blade to perfection, amassed such a rich Life Force, but today it was all absorbed by your Azure Dragon..."
Listening to Gu Lang, the corners of Long Renās mouth slowly curved up, to be honest, Long Ren felt a sense of relief at this moment. If not for the existence of the Azure Dragon, the progenitor of Life Force, by his side, he would have definitely been harmed by the Dark Demon Blade.
Thinking back to the strange energy released by the Dark Demon Blade just now, a shudder ran through Long Renās heart, and with that thought, he couldnāt help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, a flash of anger filled Gu Langās eyes, and the intense True Qi burst from his body, accompanied by waves of strong fluctuations, evoking a look of fear in the eyes of the surrounding cultivators.
Seeing this, Long Ren furrowed his brow, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
"Long Ren, since you destroyed my Dark Demon Blade, today I must take your head!"
As he spoke, intense killing intent erupted from Gu Langās body, his cold eyes glaring fiercely in Long Renās direction.
Feeling Gu Langās murderous gaze, Long Renās body tensed, his eyes filled with a serious expression, and Sword Qi began to subtly circulate around him.
"Gu Lang, whatās the matter? Are you infuriated?"
Long Ren looked towards Gu Lang and spoke slowly, and upon hearing Long Renās voice, Gu Langās eyes turned red as if stimulated, his palms trembling slightly, and an extremely sharp aura erupted from his body.
"Long Ren, Iām telling you, today no one can save you from this Wild Wolf Gang! You are doomed!"
As Gu Lang finished speaking, bouts of intense killing intent suddenly erupted around him, forming tangible waves that enveloped the peak of the Wild Wolf Gangās mountain.
At this moment, the disciples from the thirty-six caves were filled with horror as they looked on, their lips trembling as they spoke in panic towards Long Renās direction:
"Lake Master, Gu Lang seems really angry, what should we do now? Gu Langās strength is terrifying, we are no match for him!"
"Gu Langās power is truly terrifying, even just the aura he releases is so frightening, itās hard to imagine how terrifying his power truly is..."
Listening to the surrounding chatter, Long Ren furrowed his brows deeply, his eyes filled with a serious expression. After some hesitation, he spoke softly to those around him:
"Gu Lang was hiding his strength earlier; it seems now he is fully unleashing it. I have to admit, Gu Langās scheming is really profound..."
While Long Ren and others were secretly shocked, an overwhelming aura erupted from Gu Langās body, and intense Sword Qi gushed out in an instant.
Seeing this, Long Renās eyes filled with a flash of astonishment, his lips twitching slightly, his gaze riddled with apprehension.
Gu Langās body trembled slightly, and under the sky, eighteen swords emitting chilling glows gradually flew out. As these eighteen swords soared into the air, the onlookersā eyes filled with boundless shock.
"This...Gu Lang can control eighteen weapons simultaneously? Thatās simply astounding. You know, for a cultivator, the higher the cultivation, the more weapons one can control at the same time. For a Tribulation stage Cultivator like Long Ren, controlling more than ten weapons simultaneously is already achievable."
But attempting to control eighteen weapons at once is something even Long Ren cannot achieve.
Long Ren squinted his eyes slightly, filled with a grave expression. To be honest, he never expected Gu Lang to be so formidable, controlling eighteen weapons at the same time. This has far exceeded the limit a Tribulation stage Cultivator can handle.
At this moment, as Long Ren pondered silently, Gu Langās face suddenly twisted into a grim smile. He raised his gaze slightly, then spoke to Long Ren with exceptional malice:
"Long Ren, today Iām going to show you the power of my eighteen swords and blades..."
Upon hearing Gu Langās voice, Long Renās eyebrows furrowed deeply, his eyes flickering with a grave intensity.
"Bandit Chief Gu Lang, you must be joking. What virtue or ability do I, Long Ren, possess to make you use these eighteen swords and blades against me?"
Looking at Gu Lang, Long Ren spoke calmly, while Gu Langās eyes sharpened upon hearing these words. A fierce light shot from his eyes as he peered directly at Long Ren and said chillingly:
"Long Ren, donāt be arrogant! I will take your life right now!"
As he spoke, the eighteen swords and blades above Gu Langās head unleashed waves of fierce brilliance. Intense and sharp Sword Qi surged forth in an instant. The eighteen swords and blades rotated slightly in the sky and then came stabbing fiercely toward Long Renās direction.
Seeing this, Long Renās eyebrows furrowed tightly. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his body erupted with bursts of fierce Sword Qi.
Twelve Flying Swords also began to dart around Long Ren. The sword bodies coiled together, each blade emanating Cold Qi, gathering in the sky above.
The surrounding disciples of the Three-Six Dong, witnessing this scene, were taken aback, their mouths agape in surprise as they exclaimed:
"My God, even the Lake Master can manipulate twelve swords and blades simultaneously. This is simply incredible! The Lake Master is so young yet has already achieved this level. Truly a young talent!"
"The Lake Masterās strength is unimaginable. Although not as strong as Gu Lang, the Lake Master is much younger. I believe that given enough time, surpassing Gu Lang will be no difficulty at all."
Standing opposite, Gu Langās face flashed with anger upon hearing the surrounding remarks. His eyes flickered as he looked at Long Ren with a chilling gaze.
"Long Ren, I admit your talent is indeed superior to mine, but it doesnāt matter. Right now, you lack the qualifications to contend with me. This world is inherently one where the weak are prey to the strong. Today, it is destined that you will be the one to lose!"
Staring at Long Ren, Gu Lang spoke savagely. Long Ren, upon hearing Gu Langās words, smirked slightly, then calmly retorted:
"Bandit Chief Gu Lang, words are futile. Letās see the truth of our skills under our hands!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than numerous compartments surrounding Long Ren began to move in the sky. Sharply piercing Sword Qi instantly enveloped Long Ren.
Seeing Long Ren on high alert like this, Gu Lang furrowed his brows tightly, his eyes flickering with a hint of trouble.
"Long Ren, since you are courting death, I will fulfill your wish today!"
As he spoke, the eighteen sharp swords hovering above Gu Lang released fierce Sword Qi, slicing through the air. Trees in the vicinity were toppled effortlessly by the Sword Qi.
Long Renās eyes revealed a grave expression as he witnessed this. In the sky, the Longsword rotated slightly, and in the briefest moment, the twelve swords formed a Sword Array, encasing Long Ren, leaving no space for any attack to reach his true body.
Gu Lang, seeing this, furrowed his brow tightly. An intense sharpness flashed through his eyes, and a sneer appeared at his mouth as he spoke disdainfully to Long Ren:
"Who would have thought that the mighty Lake Master of Three-Six Dong would become a turtle retracting its head? Do you mean to say that all of you from the Three-Six Dong are merely cowards clinging to life?"
The disciples of Three-Six Dong around them, upon hearing this, had flames of anger flare up in their eyes. They squinted slightly, then retorted angrily to Gu Lang:
"Ridiculous! You dare say we from Three-Six Dong are cowards? What a joke! I can still vividly recall that when we broke in, you and your people were the first to flee!"
"Exactly, the Wild Wolf Gang is full of cowardly elders who donāt even have the courage to face us head-on!"
Listening to the words of the Three-Six Dong disciples, Gu Langās eyes narrowed, and he turned his head slowly before speaking softly:
"Is what they say true? Did you really abandon the disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang to flee first?"
