WHOOSH!
A gust of wind blew through, sending icicles clattering down from the swaying branches.
Other than that, there was no sound.
A deathly silence fell.
One after another, astonished and terrified gazes fixed on Chen Yang, making the atmosphere heavy and chilling. It was the eruption of countless cold killing intents.
Gu Tianxing, who was laughing triumphantly just a mont ago, had been silenced just like that?
Not only the ordinary disciples, but even Elder Gu Tai couldn't process what had happened.
Standing in the center of the field, Liu Qingi covered her mouth in shock, her face a picture of disbelief.
The young man's features weren't conventionally handso, but his face, as if chiseled from stone, was ruthlessly sharp.
"Such a sunny day," Chen Yang mused, reaching out to catch a red flower petal drifting on the wind. He twirled it between his fingers, "Perfect for shedding blood."
That short sentence made everyone's eyelids twitch.
Even Gu Tai, the leader of the group from Biluo Sword Valley, couldn't help but frown, his heart filled with suspicion.
Who on earth is this person who just appeared out of nowhere?
Based on their knowledge of Red Lotus Valley, besides Liu Qingi, Liu Changzheng had no other noteworthy male descendants.
Could it be...
A flash of insight struck Gu Tai. A bone-chilling murderous intent instantly filled his eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
However, one of the disciples was the first to react. He strode forward and pointed a finger at Chen Yang, a cruel smile twisting his lips. "I don't care who you are. If you dare to touch soone from my Biluo Sword Valley, there is only one path for you—death."
BOOM!
The words had barely left his lips when the disciple's ferocious grin froze. A horrifying whirlwind instantly enveloped him.
HISS!
The disciple's outstretched hand began to show bloody marks, then disintegrated inch by inch before their very eyes, dissolving into a red mist.
"This, this..."
Before he could even scream, his arm and entire shoulder blade exploded, sending a tremor through the hearts of everyone present.
"Help... help !" he shrieked with all his might, his ashen face turning desperately to Gu Tai as he trembled uncontrollably.
BANG!
Before anyone could react, the disciple exploded in mid-air.
Gu Tai was left speechless.
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
Chen Yang continued to play with the red flower petal, his expression nonchalant.
"Displaying your pitiful backbone before my Biluo Sword Valley? Vowing to leave no living soul in Red Lotus Valley?" Chen Yang raised his eyes, slowly looking at Gu Tai as he recalled the grand declaration the man had just made.
What they considered righteous integrity was just 'pitiful backbone' in his eyes? They were the ones acting like bandits, yet they had the gall to threaten to annihilate an entire clan?
"It was you!" Gu Tai's rage erupted. He ignored everything else, pointing at Chen Yang and roaring, "You killed my son, Gu Shuheng?!"
"I did," Chen Yang nodded earnestly. "He told I could find you at the summit."
The crowd stared.
So, he killed the man's son and then, instead of fleeing, he ca here on purpose? How arrogant!
"You're courting death!" Gu Tai completely lost his composure, the veins on his forehead bulging with fury. "You damn bastard, you must have a death wish!"
SWOOSH!
Gu Tai drew his sword. The frosty Sword Qi flared with a dazzling light, like a cascade of starlight falling from the heavens. With a flash of its brilliant gleam, the vast void seed to be split in two as the attack descended upon Chen Yang.
As an elder of the Biluo Sword Valley, Gu Tai had long since reached the level of Half-step Divine Conquest, making his overall strength comparable to Tu Cunshan's. His eyes were practically splitting with rage; he wanted nothing more than to mince Chen Yang into pulp with a single strike.
Chen Yang's half-closed eyes snapped open, his aura skyrocketing as if a god of slaughter had descended upon the mortal realm.
OM!
A blood-red Dharma Golden Body rose from behind him and swatted down a massive palm from the sky.
CRACK!
Accompanied by a shower of sparks, the sword gleam, which resembled an inverted river of stars, shattered inch by inch, dissipating into the void. The massive palm print fell, and under its imnse impact, Elder Gu Tai was sent flying like a kite with a severed string. As he flew, blood sprayed from him uncontrollably.
BOOM!
The blood-red Dharma Golden Body quickly faded. It had a limited number of uses and was incredibly taxing, so Chen Yang was loath to use it unless absolutely necessary. He then vanished from his spot, reappearing like a flash of lightning. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Yang brought his knee up, smashing into the still-airborne Gu Tai with a bone-shattering impact.
Dust plud into the air.
The dignified Elder of the Biluo Sword Valley lay pitifully in a pool of his own blood, disheveled and utterly defeated.
The onlookers were speechless.
A wave of terror washed over them. *Who... who is this person? He's terrifying!*
SPURT.
Lying there like a half-dead dog, the dying Gu Tai felt his hair stand on end. He could never have imagined that this stranger of unknown origin would possess such formidable power. The dozens of disciples from Biluo Sword Valley backed away in fear. Their esteed elder had been beaten so badly he couldn't even fight back. This...
"I don't believe I have offended you. Why make an enemy of my Biluo Sword Valley?" Gu Tai threatened, struggling to his feet and wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His voice was chilling. "Moreover, these are but a few of my Valley's people. If our full force were to mobilize, not only you, but the entire Red Lotus Valley would be buried with you!"
He still hadn't figured out Chen Yang's identity, and a storm of emotions raged within him. How could he, a respected elder, be unable to withstand a single move from a re young man?
"I don't care who you are! Opposing my Biluo Sword Valley is a death sentence!" Gu Tai roared with all his might.
"Who I am?"
BOOM!
Chen Yang reached out, and with a slap across the void, he tore Gu Tai's flesh open and rattled his Divine Spirit. "Liu Qingi is my cousin. Is that identity sufficient?"
Elder Gu Tai froze.
The crowd froze.
This... this!
With those words, Chen Yang's identity was all but revealed.
"Is it sufficient, hmm?!" Chen Yang sent another slap flying. Gu Tai was sent tumbling through the air, spraying blood.
GASP!
Gu Tai staggered to a stop, battered and bloodied. He looked up to see Chen Yang gazing down at him from on high, his eyes filled with an intense, cold killing intent.
So... so it was him!
The flowers blood in the surrounding fields.
Liu Qingi stared at Chen Yang's figure. This man possessed a peerless grace. His words—"Liu Qingi is my cousin," and his earlier promise, "If anyone bullies you again, tell "—shook her to her core, sending a warm current through her heart.
BOOM!
Chen Yang swung his arm.
The Ancestral Sword shot out, tracing a line of starlight through the air before embedding itself in the ground at Elder Gu Tai's feet.
"End it yourself," Chen Yang said, twirling the red flower as his cold eyes locked onto Gu Tai.
At that, everyone's pupils dilated. Their limbs trembled, and no one dared to make a sound.
An air of shared dread fell over them.
