Stronger by Killing

As soon as Gu Zhan spoke these words,

Ji Yunyang immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Insolent child, how dare you act so audaciously and defy your superiors, you..."

"Shut up!"

Gu Zhan let out a cold snort, and waves of energy surged forth like giant waves, making the heavens and earth roar, the ground crack, and all the stalactites in the cave shatter into pieces. The scene was horrifying, with terrifying power looming over and oppressing Ji Yunyang and his men.

Several Land Immortals quickly intervened to suppress the sound wave, yet even after that, the experts standing at the cave entrance couldn’t help but retreat continuously.

Such a scene was merely the result of a single shout from Gu Zhan,

Ji Yunyang, witnessing this, broke out in a cold sweat, filled with lingering fear. Yet as the Crown Prince, he dared not show panic and could only force himself to stay calm, though his heart was full of shame and anger. Being almost scared to collapse from a single shout was a humiliation beyond measure. Immediately, he prepared to speak harshly once more.

However,

just as Ji Yunyang was about to speak, he met Gu Zhan’s icy gaze, and an invisible pressure descended upon him, directly stifling the words at the tip of his tongue, his face flushed with rage.

At that moment,

Gu Zhan flicked his long robe and strode forward, his long hair flowing under the Purple Gold Crown, majestic and fearless, facing the numerous experts with ease. He pointed at Ji Yunyang and said in a deep voice, "I’ve already said, the heavens of Great Xia have changed. You are not qualified to speak with me. If you dare utter another word, I’ll be the first to kill you!"

Ji Yunyang’s face was full of grief and anger, but looking at Gu Zhan’s terrifying aura, he didn’t dare to vent his fury.

In the Spirit Fox Cave,

watching Gu Zhan walk over step by step and feeling a terrifying Martial Arts Will crushing down, Saint Monk Hui Chan, as a cultivator of the Five Grotto Heaven, became very solemn and said in a deep voice, "Amitabha, the Marquis is invincible under heaven. This humble monk dares to test the Marquis’ extraordinary skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Monk Hui Chan clasped his hands together with a "hum" sound, and waves of Buddhist light spread out. Chants echoed throughout the Spirit Fox Cave, visibly manifesting golden Buddhist light oscillating like tsunamis, overwhelming and boundless as stormy waves crashed against shore. A vague Buddha statue emerged behind Saint Monk Hui Chan.

In the face of the surging Buddha light, Gu Zhan’s stride remained unaffected, his long robe fluttering in the wind, and he said deeply, "Old monk, with just you wanting to make a move against me? You are not qualified!"

At this point,

outside the Spirit Fox Cave, all the Land Immortals appeared grave. Five Land Immortals from the Lü Family, along with four Land Immortals from the Ji Family and a Five Realm Divine Nun Ru Shi, a total of ten Land Immortals began to gather their forces.

Ji Yunyang, still terrified from Gu Zhan’s shout, expressed a bit of concern, "Gentlemen, can Saint Monk Hui Chan handle this alone?"

Divine Nun Ru Shi brought her hands together, emanating a sacred glow, and said softly, "Your Highness, rest assured, Gu Zhan’s greatest strength is his martial outburst, demonstrated in the city-breaking strike at Dao Ma Pass.

The higher the level of the cultivator, the more important Martial Arts Will becomes in battle. Gu Zhan’s Will is utterly invincible. As long as Saint Monk Hui Chan withstands his first strike, his momentum will significantly diminish. At that time, we will act immediately and suppress him in an instant."

Ji Yunyang felt much reassured and said, "Then I will await your good news. In the meantime, I shall take people to block the Hu Ben Battalion!"

With that, Ji Yunyang, along with Ji Fu and Lü Chang, left the Spirit Fox Cave with dozens of Supreme Grandmasters.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Fox Cave,

Saint Monk Hui Chan’s Buddhist Golden Body has successfully condensed, and the surrounding airflow blasted open, the chanting resounding like divine thunder, balls of light blooming consecutively. His hands formed a Fist Seal, resembling a Great Sun Buddha, blocking Gu Zhan!

"Amitabha, this humble monk dares to ask the Marquis for guidance!"

The Buddha statue’s Golden Body pressed down with one palm, its terrifying force surged like an ocean, countless symbols lighting up on its arms, creating a powerful resonance. Between the golden fingers and palms, golden light burst forth like a volcanic eruption, brilliant and wild.

"I told you, you’re not good enough, and you just have to suffer!"

Gu Zhan stepped forward, instantly reaching Hui Chan, "hum," the void quivered, he punched straight forward, simple and direct, advancing steadily, his fist turning from dim to bright, from black light to golden yellow.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a punch exploded out, its terrifying momentum converging into a massive fist, meeting the Buddha statue’s palm from below, unleashing boundless power.

With a loud bang,

white, watery energy cascaded down like surging floodwaters, not just in waves but compressing the sky, crashing down directly, making the entire Spirit Fox Cave tremble as countless rocks crumbled and fell. The whole Qixia Mountain shook.

Amidst the shock of all the Land Immortals,

that seemingly resplendent Buddha statue’s Golden Body shattered and scattered in an instant.

"Puff"

Saint Monk Hui Chan spewed out blood, his body flying backward towards the Grotto Heaven, while two Land Immortals from the Lü Family hastily moved to catch him.

However, at that instant,

a horrifying force rolled in like an ocean wave. As they looked ahead, they saw Gu Zhan following behind Hui Chan’s flying body, his enormous fist radiating terrifying Divine Power, punching out.

"Attack!"

The Ji Clan shouted, swiftly taking out a weapon, a hammer with an unusual shape, swinging it directly at Gu Zhan.
