Chapter 494: Chapter 494: The Powerful Gu King Chapter 494: Chapter 494: The Powerful Gu King The Gu King arrived at the entrance of the Holiday Village, intending to barge in directly.
At the door, several gatekeepers armed with guns stood guard.
At the moment, upon seeing a strange person emerge, they all aimed at it and coldly said, “Who are you?”
“This is a private area; entry is not permitted!”
“What if I insist on entering?” sneered the Gu King.
“If you insist on entering, then we have the right to shoot,” the lead person said with a cold laugh.
“Then shoot.”
The Gu King said nonchalantly.
The man aimed at his feet, ready to fire the gun to scare him away.
“Bang!!”
However, just as he fired, the Gu King flicked his sleeve, unleashing a wave of Inner Qi.
“Pfft~~~~”
The bullet that was originally aimed at the Gu King was directly reflected back.
Just as it was about to hit the man who shot, at that very moment, Bai Zhonglou appeared.
With his right hand, he actually caught the bullet in his hand.
Witnessing this scene, the gatekeepers beside him were all stunned.
What kind of skill was this?
It was like that of an Immortal!
“Now get out of here!” Bai Zhonglou yelled at the gatekeepers.
These people were all common folk; if they stayed, they would simply be throwing their lives away in vain.
Bai Zhonglou could save them once, but not multiple times.
The gatekeepers snapped back to reality and quickly ran off into the distance.
The Gu King didn’t bother with them; they were just a bunch of ordinary people – killing them or not didn’t matter.
His attention was on Bai Zhonglou.
“You’re Bai Zhonglou, the Gang Leader of the Jiangnan Branch of The Eighteen Sects of Longmen, right?” the Gu King said in a deep voice.
The two powerful forces of Longmen and the Hall of Dark King had been at odds over the years, and naturally, they had some understanding of each other’s core members.
Bai Zhonglou, as the Gang Leader of one of The Eighteen Sects of Longmen, was naturally an important member of Longmen, so it was normal for the Gu King to know him.
Bai Zhonglou responded indifferently, “Indeed, I am.”
“Are you guarding this place? What’s your relationship with that kid? Is he one of your Longmen people?” The Gu King’s face slightly wrinkled as he pressed for answers.
Bai Zhonglou did not respond to his question. “No comment!”
“Really? I hope you can still be so tough later!”
The Gu King let out a cold laugh.
To commoners, the Gang Leaders of The Eighteen Sects of Longmen were like gods, establishing themselves as paramount within a province.
But in the presence of the Five Elders of the Underworld Palace, Gu King, Bai Zhonglou was nothing special.
Even before his breakthrough to becoming a Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse, he did not take Bai Zhonglou seriously, let alone now that he had become a Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouse.
At this time, he did not waste any more words.
Terrible Inner Qi was released from within his body.
The Inner Qi in the air condensed into a gigantic Inner Qi Palm.
“Go!!!”
The Gu King shouted, using the Inner Qi Palm to slap towards Bai Zhonglou.
Bai Zhonglou’s face grew solemn as he quickly mobilized the Inner Qi in his body, gathering almost all of it around him to form a Shield of Strong Protective Qi.
This Shield of Strong Protective Qi represented his limit!
“Bang!!”
The gigantic Inner Qi Palm struck against his Shield of Strong Protective Qi.
Instantly a ‘crack’ sound echoed, and the Shield of Strong Protective Qi that Bai Zhonglou had condensed around him shattered like glass.
His body was then smacked away by that colossal Inner Qi Palm.
He landed dozens of meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
“Pfft~~~~”
Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Bai Zhonglou felt as if his five internal organs and six hollow organs had been hit by a heavy truck, suffering immense pain.
“This… this is the terror of Internal Qi Transformation! This power, it’s too frightening!” Bai Zhonglou, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, muttered with a pale face.
The Gu King then looked down at him disdainfully and said,
“Now, do you still have ‘no comment’?”
“That Lin Dong, what exactly is his relation to your Longmen? Could it be, he’s your Dragon Child, the heir to the next Dragon Lord?”
Like the Underworld Palace had their Saint Heir, designated for the next host of the Underworld Palace, Longmen too would appoint a Dragon Child, who would inherit the position of the next Dragon Lord.
The Gu King speculated whether Lin Dong might be the Dragon Child.
He was clearly wrong, for Lin Dong was not the Dragon Child but the Dragon Lord!
But this was something Bai Zhonglou would never reveal, even upon his death.
“Enough talk; I won’t tell you.” Bai Zhonglou spat another mouthful of blood and shouted loudly.
“Is that so? Then you can die!!!”
Seeing his stubbornness, the Gu King no longer wanted to spare his life.
The exact nature of Lin Dong’s relationship with Longmen wasn’t that important to him.
No matter the relationship, the solution was simple – just kill him!
“Boom!!!”
The Gu King then condensed an even larger Inner Qi Palm than before.
That Inner Qi Palm, tens of meters in size, materialized in the air.
Enveloped by terrifying energy, it slapped towards Bai Zhonglou!
If it hit, it would be more dreadful than being crushed by a ten-story building.
Bai Zhonglou, with his Shield of Strong Protective Qi broken, obviously could not withstand it.
“Dragon Lord, after my death, please ensure you survive. Lead Longmen to its former glory!!!”
Bai Zhonglou faced death unafraid and roared in his heart.
However,
Just as the Inner Qi Palm was about to hit him, something unexpected happened…
