A mont later.
The entire scene fell into a deathly silence, desolation ensued, as everyone watched Gu Qing standing there, expressionless and bloodstained, all looking at him like stunned beasts, speechless with fear.
Although this Elder of Biluo Sword Valley had not been killed with a single strike, when had Chen Yang ever used his full strength?
Too powerful!!
Virtually everyone watched the figure walking away with dread, while also feeling imnse envy.
How could this person be soone rely seeking fa?
Perhaps, this was the true nature of a son of the Martial World, decisive and ruthless, always resorting to action over words.
Indifferent to life and death; challenge if unconvinced!
When their gazes fell once more on Gu Qing, a chilling fear sward their hearts.
After all, he was an Elder of Biluo Sword Valley, yet couldn't even react before being gravely injured. One wonders what he felt in that mont?
"Hold on."
Gu Zhiqing, who had already walked out of the gathering circle and was very weak, suddenly spoke, "There's one more person I haven't killed."
Swoosh!
Of course, Chen Yang knew who she wanted to kill. With a wave, he sent a sword strike flying without even turning back, and casually said, "You better not move needlessly, or the wound will tear open, and you'll have trouble."
Boom!
Gu Xiulan, who had just climbed to her feet and was holding her chest in fear, didn't have ti to feel relieved before a cold gleam shot through the sky straight toward her.
"This..."
Her pupils contracted violently, feeling only a gust of wind blowing across her face.
Boom!!
With hands covering her neck, staggering back, she finally collapsed to the ground, looking pleadingly at Gu Qingshan.
However, until her dying breath, Gu Qingshan did not look at her once.
One strike seals the throat.
Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and gestured to the disciples of Biluo Sword Valley. They imdiately moved to clean up the scene.
Then, Gu Qingshan turned and walked away.
He couldn't stay here another second.
However, the three sword strikes presented by Chen Yang eventually left a trendous impression on everyone present.
Everybody was discussing one crucial question.
What realm does this young man, who erged seemingly out of nowhere, truly occupy?
After all, Gu Qingshan's strength at Half-step Divine Conquest was evident, yet he was heavily injured in one move without daring to counter-attack.
Or is this Elder of Biluo Sword Valley simply a figurehead?
As everyone gradually dispersed, not far away on the city wall, surrounded by a group of experts, was Mu Ling'er. The girl had one arm crossed over her chest, the other holding a lollipop, her large twinkling eyes fixated on the direction in which Chen Yang left.
"A hero saves the beauty, this guy sure is enjoying himself." Mu Ling'er blinked her sparkling eyes, muttering with keen interest.
An elderly man standing behind her, also stared at the direction Chen Yang went, but in his deep eyes sparkled a cold light, "Miss, since it's known that he killed our people, why not let deal with him directly?"
"What's the rush?"
Mu Ling'er rolled her eyes at the old man, jamd the lollipop into her mouth, and her cheeks puffed up, "He's just a fish in a barrel, escaping is futile, right?"
"The Zhou Family has already summoned him to co forward. I want to see how this guy, who acts so arrogantly, will respond."
Mu Ling'er's lively big eyes narrowed into a line, showing her mischievous and sly nature. Clearly, she was up to so mischief again.
"Understood, Miss."
The old man nodded, then turned the topic, "Miss, the Master has sent word that you should return. The marriage is settled, and delaying any longer would be inappropriate."
Hearing this, Mu Ling'er, who had just been jubilant, suddenly froze.
Crack.
The lollipop shattered in her mouth, and the sound resonated outward.
"Miss, Mr. Ning isn't bad, and there's no need to resist so much. Since the Master has already decided on this marriage, it's an unchangeable fact."
The old man sighed, looking at her with affectionate indulgence.
"Stop talking!"
Mu Ling'er's expression turned ashen, tightly clenching her fists, and she coldly stated, "There's still more than a month left. It's not too late to return closer to the date."
"But..."
Mu Ling'er interrupted him, resolute, "Don't say anything else, or I'll really get mad."
The old man helplessly spread his hands and fell silent.
...
Shisu Town may seem small but isn't really; news of Gu Zhiqing's fierce battle with Biluo Sword Valley north of the city hasn't yet spread through the whole market town.
With the sudden halt of the martial arts competition on the square, many people were discussing tonight's Zhou Family birthday banquet.
Anywhere Mu Ling'er appeared would draw special attention.
At the mont, inside a tavern, Zhou Family's young master Zhou Yang was toasting and exchanging pleasantries with a group of well-born young masters from powerful families and large forces.
After a few drinks, Zhou Yang, dressed in a white robe, had beco sowhat tipsy. Watching these people, who usually behaved so arrogantly in his presence, now trying to please him, he couldn't help feeling smug.
To be honest, Zhou Yang never imagined even in his dreams that he would have a chance to leap to success.
After all, a family's pedigree takes generations, even a dozen generations, of efforts to establish. Crossing that threshold is nearly impossible.
Yet his Zhou family turned the tables in one move.
That's why so many people shalessly try to attach themselves to others, even if criticized, due to the allure of success.
Once achieved, it's like a great bird soaring high, mastering the skies above.
For example, the Zhou Family.
Just a rumor that Mu Ling'er would attend Zhou Family's birthday banquet tonight had already made countless people look at the Zhou Family with new respect.
And what will happen when Mu Ling'er appears at the Zhou Family tonight?
Just that thought made Zhou Yang uncontrollably excited.
"Young Master Zhou, I just got news that guy called Chen Yang seems to have had a conflict with people from Biluo Sword Valley! With Gu Qingshan there, that guy might end up dead!"
A rich young lord toasted Zhou Yang with a smile and said.
"Ignorant fool, courting death,"
Zhou Yang sneered coldly, then raised his head and said arrogantly, "However, since my Zhou Family has demanded he co to apologize, he must co to our Zhou Family tonight."
"Do you think if I personally intervene, Gu Qingshan might give so face and spare that guy's life for now?"
"Of course!" The rich young lord echoed imdiately, "What does Biluo Sword Valley count as compared to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Haha!!" Zhou Yang laughed pridefully, "Then, shall we go take a look?"
"Wait..."
Just as Zhou Yang finished speaking, another young man with a phone said, "Mr. Zhou, he lost! That guy called Chen Yang went through them like a ghost, not only rescuing Gu Zhiqing but also severely injuring Gu Qingshan."
Zhou Yang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
"..."
