Stronger by Killing

Jin Guanyun stared intently, the Long Sword in his hand stirring up the winds and clouds. A terrifying vortex had already connected the space between heaven and earth, flames roaring inside, while True Essence outside compressed endlessly, becoming smaller and smaller, almost covering that Three-foot Sword.

"Senior Qi Ga!"

Jin Guanyun looked at the white-haired Qi Ga and said, "Junior does not know the limitations of the Grotto Heaven Realm, which kept Elder Celestial Master imprisoned here for nearly a hundred years, but the events of today, you have witnessed yourself.

Gu Zhan, this child, has already stirred a martial arts calamity. If not stopped, Yunxi will be bathed in blood, with not even an inch of grass surviving. Therefore, please, I implore you, be sure to ask Elder Celestial Master to descend the mountain and slay the demon!"

Qi Ga spat a mouthful of fresh blood, stared at Jin Guanyun, and said in a deep voice, "Valley Master Jin, I will remember your words!"

Jin Guanyun slightly nodded, bowed and looked down at the crowd below, who were cooperating to deploy the array to block Gu Zhan, then fixed his gaze on Jin Yuanbao, calmly saying, "Yuanbao, take Senior Qi Ga and leave!"

Jin Yuanbao’s face dramatically changed, saying, "Father, what are you going to do?"

Jin Guanyun smiled slightly, saying, "Yuanbao, although father has always been strict with you, you are very excellent, truly, you have always been father’s pride. From now on... the legacy of Medicine King Valley will be entrusted to you!"

Jin Guanyun turned again to Qi Ga, saying, "Senior Qi Ga, my son Yuanbao is a person with great destiny. If you succeed in escaping this time, it will only be by staying by his side. If he can’t take you away, then... it is fate!"

After speaking, Jin Guanyun gently threw Qi Ga towards Jin Yuanbao, calmly saying, "Yuanbao, go!"

"Father!"

Jin Yuanbao caught Qi Ga, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Jin Guanyun smiled slightly, just preparing to say something more, but his voice was drowned by the sound of thunder and explosions, as Gu Zhan had already broken through several arrays and charged over.

Jin Guanyun’s sword was already scorching hot, continuously expanding and contracting, uncontrollable, almost about to explode. Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi continued to compress.

"Fellow cultivators, please lend me your strength!"

With Jin Guanyun’s loud cry, several Medicine King Valley Grandmasters promptly formed an array, and suddenly, an array rose into the sky, the sky enveloped by fire, everywhere flames, everywhere divine beams, constantly absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and gathering towards Jin Guanyun.

At the same time, experts from other sects also reacted one after another.

Medicine King Valley, the second sect in Yunzhou, second only to Sword King City. Although not on the same level as Sword King City, it has naturally strong foundations to have survived for a thousand years.

Medicine King Valley has never been famous for its martial prowess, but for its medical skills and elixirs. However, it has maintained its legacy through ages despite fierce Demon Dao times, not only due to its uniqueness but because Medicine King Valley possesses a Divine Technique claiming indiscriminate death below the Grotto Heaven.

At this moment, experts from various sects realized Jin Guanyun was sacrificing all Grandmaster Level experts of Medicine King Valley here to stop Gu Zhan,

Instinctively, many experts lent aid, converging Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

A loud roar, fire light surging, making the sun in the sky fade, the Copper Furnace shimmering, no longer quaint but having a life force of its own, and a blinding light emerged from it, a Fire Phoenix spread its wings, darting out, fiery light blazing, golden body fierce and unmatched.

"Gang Leader Gu!"

Jin Guanyun looked at Gu Zhan, who had already broken free from the Grand Array, and slowly said, "The sword of Medicine King Valley is famed as the sword that saves and rescues the world. However, the sword of Medicine King Valley can save people, and it can kill as well. This sword, I wish for Gang Leader Gu to accompany me to the underworld!"

A sword hum sounded, crisp and resonant,

as if slicing through the soul, many screamed, eyes vacant, heads about to split.

Within the realms of heaven and earth spun mysterious Sword Intent, cascading energy waterfalls descended, the Phoenix reborn, bathed in fire and reborn, transforming into a mighty weapon.

This void formed a ripple, seemingly about to collapse, wavering, the crowd below trembling with fear, every one of them with knees trembling, bodies weary.

This sword, both sword,

and a phoenix born to die,

This sword, transformed into a sea of flames, such a weapon could certainly annihilate an army, destroying countless souls, and now it faced only one man,

Phoenix sang,

forming a golden Long Sword, beginning to devour, crazily absorbing, taking in the sea of fire, disturbing the void, creating fearful ripples, the sword light carrying divine might, cleaving through the vast river, obliterating the mighty river, causing it to disperse.

And that sword,

slashed towards Gu Zhan!

"With just this sword, do you think you can drag me down with you?"

Gu Zhan roared out, terrifying blood energy surged, penetrating the clouds, his whole being like a primordial beast, with force threw the Horizontal Saber in his hand.

In that instant, a blade shadow streaked across the void,

penetrating layers of rain, causing an explosive sound, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi shattered completely, the rumbling blade, was not like a blade, but a mountain crashing against that sword, the sound was grand, buzzing loudly, causing all directions to tremble.

Blade tip and sword tip collided instantly in the air,

with a loud sound, as if a Celestial God was pounding the heavens, the sound was overwhelming, causing ears to buzz, dizziness, as black and white weapons clashed.
