Chapter 304: Chapter 233: Defeating Qu Huadao
The words had scarcely left his lips.
Qu Huadao had already made a fearsome move.
He brought forth a Divine Sword and directed the nature’s Spiritual Energy from a hundred miles to converge upon him, the once gentle nature’s Spiritual Energy now transformed into extraordinarily terrifying Sword Qi.
With a slash of his sword, Qu Huadao overturned the void within a hundred miles as if billions of Sword Qi barraged down, seeking to utterly crush Gu Qingfeng on the spot.
Gu Qingfeng stood with one hand behind his back, reaching out with his right hand, as his fingers grasped at the air.
he clenched his palm forcefully.
The hundred-mile spread of Sword Qi explosively shattered, and a mist of blood burst forth from Qu Huadao’s body, his black clothes already soaked in fresh blood, presenting an utterly disheveled appearance.
Qu Haudao spat out blood, and when he looked at Gu Qingfeng again, his eyes no longer held a trace of arrogance or murderous intent, only boundless terror.
“It’s impossible, the Nine States have long declined, how could a Semi-Saint emerge!!!”
Qu Huadao felt nearly driven to madness.
He had thought he could easily suppress the cultivator before him, yet he now faced a Semi-Saint, whose might, even among Semi-Saints, surely belonged to the very pinnacle.
Hearing Qu Huadao’s words, all the cultivators present drastically changed their expressions.
They found it hard to believe that a mere Divine Martial Dynasty could produce a Semi-Saint.
Yet, seeing Qu Huadao, a top cultivator of the Dao Palace, nearly suppressed with just one hand by Gu Qingfeng, such strength seemed possible only for a Semi-Saint.
many forces extinguished the notion in their hearts of vying for the Great Saint Inheritance.
After all, with a Semi-Saint present in an age without Saints, this represented a truly top-tier powerhouse.
To try and take the inheritance from such a being was by no means simple.
Gu Qingfeng remained silent, merely throwing a punch at Qu Huadao. When one’s cultivation reached his level, even a simple punch contained dreadful divine might.
The extreme force changed the complexion of the Sword Peak Master from Yuhua Sacred Land.
“Do you dare kill me—”
Qu Huadao had never imagined, that Gu Qingfeng would truly dare to make a killing blow against him, knowing he was a Peak Master of Yuhua Sacred Land with revered status.
Even if the one before him was a Semi-Saint, Yuhua Sacred Land was not without Semi-Saints.
with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, Yuhua Sacred Land’s foundation was unfathomably deep.
Therefore, for Gu Qingfeng to dare to make a killing move now was utterly unexpected for Qu Huadao.
as an old and powerful being, Qu Huadao unleashed his life’s blood and power in an instant as Gu Qingfeng made his move, laying the Ancient Blade Wind flat across the void with a tangible Sword Wind fiercely slashing forth.
As the two forces collided, Sword Wind shattered under Qu Huadao’s shocked gaze.
The unrestrained force recoiled upon him, causing him to spit out another mouthful of fresh blood.
“You cannot kill me… I am the Sword Peak Master of Yuhua Sacred Land. If you kill me, Yuhua Sacred Land will never let you off!!”
Qu Huadao was truly frightened now; there were few in the world who did not fear death, all the more someone who had cultivated to his degree.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained indifferent.
“What is Yuhua Sacred Land to me? Anyone who dares to raise a hand against my Gu Family deserves death!”
Gu Qingfeng made a chopping motion with his hand, targeting Qu Huadao, who wore a ferocious expression, unleashing the most powerful strike of his life, no longer sparing his energy or blood.
Since Gu Qingfeng wouldn’t offer him a way out, Qu Huadao naturally wouldn’t sit still and wait for death.
the Ancient Blade Wind was seen slicing through heaven and earth, all Sword Qi dissipating into nothingness against its power, Qu Huadao’s body hanging in the air stiffened, then it blasted apart.
Flesh and blood scattered.
A top Dao Palace cultivator had fallen on the spot.
all cultivators fell silent.
If Gu Qingfeng’s previous suppression of Blood Cloud Ancestor and annihilation of another Dao Palace cultivator only shocked a portion of the cultivators, then his now unstoppable killing of Qu Huadao had intimidated everyone.
After all, unlike ordinary cultivators, Qu Huadao was the Sword Peak Master from Yuhua Sacred Land, a pinnacle powerhouse who had stepped into the Ninth Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm.
Gu Qingfeng, suppressing such a powerhouse, had truly entered the Half-Saint Realm.
it was Ji Meng’s turn to fall silent.
This time, although nearly half of the thirty thousand Divine Emperor Army had been lost, the survivors had all achieved various degrees of cultivation breakthroughs.
the overall power of the Divine Emperor Army should have risen, not fallen.
With Ji Meng’s estimation, the Divine Emperor Army should now be leading the charge to slay Gu Qingfeng and topple the Divine Martial Dynasty.
the fall of Yuhua Sacred Land’s Sword Peak Master happened right before his eyes.
This left Ji Meng in a difficult position.
The Divine Emperor Army was strong indeed, capable of encircling and slaying top Dao Palace cultivators, but facing a Semi-Saint Realm powerhouse was another matter entirely.
Even if he came bearing a Semi-Saint artifact, whether he could match a Semi-Saint was in question.
a Semi-Saint artifact was just the weapon of an ancient Semi-Saint. Even if it contained the might of a Semi-Saint, how could it be truly compared with a living Semi-Saint?
a powerful figure from the Shangguan Family stepped forward and spoke coldly, “Even if you’re a Semi-Saint, you can’t monopolize the Great Saint Inheritance.
In the opinion of this old man, why don’t you take out the Great Saint Inheritance and let us all comprehend it together?”
“Exactly, the Elder Shangguan Hongtian speaks wisely. The Divine Martial Dynasty trying to monopolize the inheritance alone is rather domineering. In my view, it’s better to share the inheritance!”
