Stronger by Killing

Gu Zhan carried the iron rod and walked forward, first facing a Third Realm Grotto Heaven from the Ji Family. He extended a long spear, the spearhead burning with a cluster of black flames, rushing toward Gu Zhan, intending to pierce him with a single thrust.

The speed of the long spear was unbelievably fast, like a dream illusion, and appeared in front of Gu Zhan’s chest in an instant. However, it stopped an inch before his chest, as Gu Zhan directly reached out and grabbed the spearhead, his large hand enveloped in blood-red energy, instantly drowning and covering the black flames.

Then, before the Third Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator could react, Gu Zhan swung the iron rod he was holding, directly smashing it onto the head of the Third Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator.

With a "boom,"

a Third Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator’s head was smashed just like that.

Gu Zhan heard the system notification in his mind.

However, Gu Zhan did not care, instead, he swept the iron rod back, smashing it onto a massive seal. This was an attempt by two Land Immortals of the Lü Family to suppress Gu Zhan using a seal. One of them was a First Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator, and the other was a Second Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator. Their combined strike was powerful.

But, as Gu Zhan’s rod fell, it directly shattered the seal, and his rod did not stop its downward momentum, directly striking towards the Second Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator.

With another "boom,"

yet another head exploded, brains splattering everywhere.

"Big brother!"

The First Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator let out a mournful cry.

"Stop shouting, I’ll send you to meet him!"

Gu Zhan snorted coldly, and with a flick of the iron rod, it slashed onto the chin of the First Realm Grotto Heaven Cultivator, splitting the head in half starting from the chin, and the corpse fell with a crash.

At the same time, a long sword, bright red and translucent, like a killer from hell, came slashing through the air, whistling as it unleashed endless killing light straight into the sky, with layers of Sword Qi soaring upwards.

This was the Divine Nun Ru Shi from Cihang Sword Hall.

At the same time, the Ji Family Ancestor emerged from the Bamboo Forest, unleashing a palm with mountain-crushing force, and the Lü Family Ancestor attacked with a finger strike, like a wolf howling at the moon, while the Saint Monk Hui Chan of Bright Temple descended from above with a palm strike.

Gu Zhan retreated quickly, using the iron rod in his hand to block the long sword while throwing a punch. "Roar..." A dragon’s roar echoed between heaven and earth, with nine Celestial Dragons and nine Celestial Phenomena charging forth, transforming into terrifying energy and blocking the attacks of eight Land Immortals.

Endless chaotic light fell, as if the night sky was burning, violently shaking as if about to disintegrate, with pillars of light piercing through the clouds. In an instant, the world fell silent, and Qixia Mountain exploded into a giant canyon, with cracks spreading for tens of miles, the world silent and still.

Gu Zhan was pushed back hundreds of feet, directly creating a huge canyon between him and the numerous Land Immortals, splitting Qixia Mountain in two, with depths unseen. After a brief silence, there was endless uproar, countless mountains crumbling, beasts wailing, the earth and mountains trembling!

The bottomless, dark canyon seemed like the scars of a shattered earth, separating Gu Zhan and the eight Land Immortals on either side.

The iron rod in Gu Zhan’s hand had already melted halfway, and he simply threw it away, twisting his wrist slightly, looking at the eight Land Immortals, with eyes full of disdain!

At this time, on the other side of Qixia Mountain, a group of Hu Ben Battalion soldiers was frantically retreating, avoiding the falling rocks.

Led by Ji Songlie and Ji Yunyang, and others, they were full of shock. They finally understood why the Three Ancestors of the Ji Family said that they had no right to take part in this battle. Such a fight was god-like or demonic-like, leaving ordinary people incapable of not being affected even from a distance.

In an instant, Ji Songlie dared not continue to station troops here and immediately led the Hu Ben Battalion in a rapid retreat.

In the dilapidated Bamboo Forest,

the Three Ancestors of the Ji Family stood on a small hill, eyes full of shock. During the earlier battle, he had several times wanted to intervene, not because he saw Gu Zhan at a disadvantage, but because he couldn’t comprehend how Gu Zhan, by himself, could hold up against so many Land Immortals, many of whom were High Tier Grotto Heaven Cultivators.

Yet the result in front of him was unbelievable!

Gu Zhan was really holding his own against so many Land Immortals, firmly holding the upper hand, and even in all-out confrontations, it ended in a stalemate!

Meanwhile, the faces of the Land Immortals besieging Gu Zhan became extremely serious, and some even felt fear rising in their hearts, a result entirely beyond their expectations.

From the moment Saint Monk Hui Chan was severely wounded by Gu Zhan’s punch, everything had already exceeded their plan.

In their plan,

Gu Zhan was just one person, no matter how strong, he couldn’t withstand their combined siege. However, the ultimate reality left them unable to explain how Gu Zhan, with lightning speed, killed three Land Immortals and withstood the siege of eight Land Immortals!

"Amitabha!"

Saint Monk Hui Chan, with blood at the corner of his mouth and a slightly pale face, looked at Gu Zhan across the canyon. Joining his hands in prayer, he emitted waves of golden light and softly exclaimed: "Divine Nun, Marquis Gu is a master among men, we are no match for him. It’s time to summon the Demon Suppression Seal!"
