Stronger by Killing

The dull sound of impacts continued incessantly, without stopping, as the mud stirred by the battle grew ever thicker.

Gu Zhan moved like a deity among the crowd, facing the dense charging forces, swinging the Horizontal Saber to slaughter, the saber shadows growing denser with each strike accompanied by thunderbolts. Wherever he passed, bodies flew chaotically, sending out endless cries of agony and wails.

Endless thunder and Saber Qi rose from the ground like a fountain.

If gods block, kill gods; if Buddhas block, kill Buddhas.

When the saber was raised and fell, heads rolled as warhorses charged, carving a bloody wide road, heads flying up, blood spraying like torrential rain.

One saber, two sabers, three sabers...

Ten sabers, thirty sabers, a hundred sabers...

Bodies torn to pieces, heads flying everywhere.

A hundred people, two hundred people, three hundred people...

A thousand people, two thousand people, three thousand people...

Fear, terror,

Emotions spread within the Martial Arts Alliance troops,

That figure, like a demon emerging from hell, stepped through the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, amidst rolling blood, the heavens and earth seemed to be filled with countless souls screaming, even unwilling and afraid after death.

This terror once appeared, spread like a plague.

More and more people were terrified,

More and more people were fleeing,

Dense crowds began to run chaotically in a very short time.

Gu Zhan pursued with saber in hand,

The Horizontal Saber in his hand was already scorching hot,

From cutting down too many people, the incessant raising and falling of the saber, the numerous and intense engagements had made the saber scorching hot.

Watching the retreating Martial Arts Alliance troops,

Gu Zhan slowly raised the saber: "Beidou Bang disciples, heed my order, kill!"

With the sound of ’kill’ echoing in the sky,

Nangong Weiyang was the first to rush out of the city walls, followed closely by the dense crowd of Beidou Bang disciples on horseback, surging like a tide, an army of thousands flooded forward.

Gu Zhan walked at the front, holding the Horizontal Saber, and behind him, Cyan Cloud Gu Character Banners fluttered vigorously and mightily.

In an instant, as if the gates of hell had opened wide, endless evil ghosts poured out, mountains of corpses and seas of skeletons, blood surging,

Gu Zhan slaughtered madly,

The Beidou Bang troops following closely charged into the retreating Martial Arts Alliance troops.

Blood sprayed, wails filled the land,

Countless people were hysterical,

Dense crowds scattered in panic.

On this day,

In the presence of many witnesses,

Gu Zhan single-handedly, from beginning to end, carved through the Yunxi Martial Arts Alliance.

This magnificent Martial World,

Was actually stepped underfoot by one man, walking step by step on a ladder of corpses to the clouds,

This surging Yunxi Martial World!

...

"Yunxi, Yunxi..."

On Yu City walls, Qin You collected Gang Qi, allowing the wind and rain to beat against his body. He was somewhat confused, the sky was dim, distant mountains appeared hazy.

"Such a grand Martial World, such a fierce Martial World!"

Yang Ge stood beside Qin You, face pale, holding the Broken Saber on his back with a reversed grip, yet gripping the hilt tightly without drawing it, his arm trembling slightly.

"Old...Master...I...I never dare to draw against Gu Zhan from now on...I..."

Qin You sighed slightly, glancing at the group of Astronomical Bureau experts beside him; eight Grandmasters, thirteen Masters, all indisputable Martial Arts experts.

Yet at this moment, those Masters were relatively better off,

As the Grandmasters all had pale faces, some even needed to hold the wall just to barely stand,

But no one laughed,

Because they understood this fear!

Qin You sighed and said, "Find time to spend some time in the army, sharpen yourself, otherwise, this will become a lifelong Heart Demon!"

"Yes," "Yes" "..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yang Ge looked at Qin You and whispered, "Master, what...should I do about it?"

Qin You gently shook his head, saying, "Your Realm is too high, already at the end of Martial Arts, but now influenced by Gu Zhan’s Martial Arts Will. Unless you can draw and fight against Gu Zhan, this Heart Demon will accompany you for a lifetime!"

Yang Ge’s pale face showed a trace of a bitter smile, slowly saying, "Master...Can a person really be this strong?"

"You’ve already seen it, haven’t you?" Qin You sighed.

Yang Ge gritted his teeth, releasing the grip on the saber hilt, bowing his hands, "Master...After the Yunzhou matters conclude, I...Please let me..."

Qin You nodded, "I understand, I will apply to the Court for a transfer order to move you out of Yunzhou when the time comes."

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Ge seemed resigned, slowly gazing outside the city,

If he stayed in Yunzhou, perhaps that Heart Demon would never be hidden in his lifetime,

Can a person,

Really be this terrifying?

What would a Land Immortal be like?

"Master, will the Elder Celestial Master come down from the mountain?" Yang Ge suddenly asked.

Qin You furrowed his brows and said, "It’s unlikely. Don’t forget there’s still Demon Dao, now the Yunxi Righteous Dao is almost crippled by Gu Zhan, only the Elder Celestial Master can suppress Gu Zhan, but he probably won’t come down the mountain,

If he comes down, he might be ambushed by Demon Dao. Sword King City is Sword King City because of the Elder Celestial Master, as long as the Elder Celestial Master is there, Sword King City will absolutely exist, so Sword King City will not dare to take this risk, the Elder Celestial Master, cannot afford to be lost!"

Yang Ge slowly said, "Is the three-part Yunxi, achieved?"

"Not quite as expected," Qin You slowly said, "Originally thought Gu Zhan would navigate well between the Righteous and Demonic Daos, now it seems, Gu Zhan might dominate, and the other two would rely on the Land Immortal for restraint!
