Under the vast sky.
The backyard of Biluo Sword Valley, covering over a thousand square feet, was overturned like a plowed field when the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow buried itself into the ground.
Green plants obliterated, broken walls and debris everywhere, a stark contrast to the previous bloom of flowers, now utter devastation.
"Destroying your Biluo Sword Valley is Chen Yang's business, how could I overstep my bounds?" Chen Changsheng cast a glance at Gu Zhong, responding flatly to his earlier words.
"Pfft..."
Gu Zhong spat out mouthfuls of blood, unclear whether from injury or rage.
"Seriously, you're too weak, fifty years have passed, and you only reached this level?" Chen Changsheng shook his head.
Gu Zhong: "..."
"Time to leave."
Meanwhile.
From the moment the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow cut through the void until the massive explosion, the entire Biluo Sword Valley trembled, causing panic among many.
Many clearly felt that the sword was aimed at Biluo Sword Valley.
As a result, whether it was people from Biluo Sword Valley or guests attending the birthday banquet, they rushed to the backyard after that explosive sound.
Rustling!
Steps formed a thunderous force, astonishing.
However, upon seeing the scene in the backyard, the whole world fell silent.
Broken walls and debris, black ash swirling, as if a world-ending event had occurred, deeply shocking.
Especially in the center of the broken courtyard steps, Gu Zhong in a red brocade robe lay dead, soaked in blood all over.
The chest wound was terrifying and chilling.
"This..."
All who rushed into the garden, witnessing this scene, were stupefied, trembling all over.
Gu Zhong, killed?
Silence.
Dead silence.
Today was supposed to be his 90th birthday, not even having attended his own banquet, yet killed.
Born on such a deathbed, can this game still be played?
Gulp.
Countless people swallowed nervously, feeling a chill all over, even the ancestor of Biluo Sword Valley was easily slain, what kind of person could this be?
Yes, the previous sword, how extraordinary was it?
The murderous intent it carried, even upon recall now, still sends chills down the spine.
A sword, broke into Biluo Sword Valley.
Without witnessing it personally, who would dare believe?
That sword.
Not only witnessed worldly fireworks, but silenced Biluo Sword Valley into quietude.
Countless people stood dumbstruck, collectively silent as cicadas in winter.
Soon after.
News from Biluo Sword Valley spread, before the birthday banquet began, the entire backyard was leveled, leaving only ruins.
Gu Zhong was pierced through the chest by a sword, dying tragically on the spot.
The rest of Biluo Sword Valley's people were unharmed.
"This, this is precise decapitation, specifically targeting Gu Zhong, the ancestor!"
"Across the entire southern region, those capable of killing are few, who exactly is it?"
The commotion continued throughout the southern region for quite a long time.
If not witnessed by countless people, no one would dare believe, it's too terrifying, the mighty ancestor of Biluo Sword Valley, killed just like that.
Half an hour later, informed insiders revealed that before dying, Gu Zhong wrote a partial character on the ground with his own blood.
Chen.
This character is barely discernible, but surely it implies more words, yet Gu Zhong died without writing them.
A stone stirs up thousands of waves.
Countless people speculate that this Chen character must be a surname, even without a specific name, it's enough to set off a storm.
Many people's first thought turns to Chen Yang.
After all, during this period, Chen Yang indeed caused immense upheaval, even slaying batch after batch of Biluo Sword Valley people.
However, placing Chen Yang here, clearly doesn't fit.
Not to mention, he already died in the Northern Mountain, even if not dead, it's impossible for him to have slain Gu Zhong with one sword.
The two are simply not on the same level, Gu Zhong effortlessly killing Chen Yang would be more feasible.
In an instant, fury erupted across Biluo Sword Valley, vowing to dig three feet into the earth to find the perpetrator.
...
Cold wind like a blade.
After brewing for half a day, the storm eventually gently descended.
Trees swayed, rising and falling.
Three thousand disciples versus less than a thousand.
Though Red Lotus Valley seemed powerful, they dared not act rashly.
Both sides in a tense standoff, ready to draw swords, until Liu Changzheng was severely wounded on the ground, these three thousand disciples were utterly broken psychologically.
In front of the damaged mountain gate.
Gu Li wielded a heavy knife, standing alone, blocking countless enemies.
Blade light like snow, capturing souls.
The world solemn, heavy aura.
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Changfeng eventually slowly drew the blade before him.
"Heh." Gu Li, covered by a large umbrella, suddenly laughed, "Rest assured, without my permission, no one can touch you, after all, you are my Gu Li's dog."
Liu Changfeng held the blade and walked toward Liu Changzheng who was supported by Liu Qingmei.
Wind like a drum, rain slanted on the face.
Liu Changfeng's face became sinister and bloodthirsty, "Old thing, when you punished my mother for that trash Chen Yang, did you think this day would come?"
"You were heartless first, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"Moreover, I just don't want to foolishly seek death like you guys, I'm sure you will forgive me, right?"
Liu Changfeng spoke decisively, his face growing fiercer.
"Dog fights dog, this scene is truly wonderful."
A young disciple next to Gu Li first laughed, then turned his gaze to Liu Qingmei, rubbing his hands, his eyes gleaming licentiously, "Great Elder, before killing Liu Qingmei, maybe this bunch of brothers can still be satisfied."
Boom!
Before Biluo Sword Valley's people could burst into laughter.
A radiant beam suddenly descended, directly piercing the chest of this young disciple, through and through, blood gushing.
"This..."
The sudden scene frightens everyone.
Even Gu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; he saw clearly that it was a sword.
Immediately followed by the sound of light horse hoofs.
"Dare to assault Red Lotus Valley, today, none of you shall return."
The brief statement is like a bolt from the blue.
Causing all the people of Biluo Sword Valley to tremble uncontrollably.
"Chen, Chen Yang?"
Liu Qingmei was stunned, his expression wooden, incredulous.
Chizz.
After piercing through the disciple, the Ancestral Sword struck like lightning, embedding itself at Liu Changfeng's foot.
Chen Yang rode over, his clothing fluttering, his deep eyes like bright moon and stars, memorable.
"Chen Yang..."
Liu Qingmei shook his head, unable to hold back tears, sobbing softly, "Since you're still alive, why come?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chen Yang responded with a smile, his sharp eyes first sweeping over Gu Li, then landing on Liu Changfeng, suddenly narrowing into slits.
Ta da da.
Liu Changfeng retreated several steps, nearly tripping over himself, horrified, "You, you want to kill me?"
"Why not?" Chen Yang responded expressionlessly.
"You really didn't die!!"
After a brief daze, Gu Li's expression turned harsh, then he grinned toothily, "What, you want to kill my Gu Li's dog as soon as you arrive? Come on, kill one and show me."
"I, Chen, want to kill someone, and need your approval?" Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his tone disdainful.
Next second.
Clang.
The Ancestral Sword, embedded in the ground, suddenly emitted a sharp cry.
Resonating through the scene.
Chizz!
Without waiting for anyone to react, the Ancestral Sword transformed into a streak of light, piercing Liu Changfeng's chest, pinning him to the ground.
"How's that?"
Gu Li: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"..."
