Stronger by Killing

The night was dark, the desolate city silent.

In Yiling City, some were already attracted by the commotion here, and when they saw the situation outside the city, they fell into a frenzy.

Especially powers like Dao Pavilion and Yijian Sect at the Grotto Heaven Realm were most concerned about Yunxi, focusing primarily on two people: One was Wei Wuya, who was almost certainly mastering the unrestricted Grotto Heaven Technique, and the other was Gu Zhan, who had definitively grasped the technique to break the limits of martial arts.

Everyone knew that these two would have a confrontation sooner or later,

but no one expected this duel to arrive so suddenly.

Originally, during the daytime, when Gu Zhan returned, many were still speculating when this dragon and tiger clash would happen,

but unexpectedly it happened this very night.

Even Gu Zhan felt it was sudden,

Originally according to his plan, he should have gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains to seek Wei Wuya, but unexpectedly Wei Wuya was so enthusiastic that he not only came on his own but also presented Red Flower Granny as a greeting gift.

Two figures stood against each other in the night,

Gu Zhan struck towards Wei Wuya with his sword,

It was just an ordinary sword strike, without the surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, nor the phenomenon typical of battles between grandmasters, just a plain strike, like a postnatal martial artist making a move.

However, this sword was very fast,

In the rolling sword momentum rising like waves,

This sword, in an instant, was in front of Wei Wuya.

And at the moment Gu Zhan struck,

Wei Wuya also swiftly wielded his sword,

But his sword seemed even quicker than Gu Zhan’s; although unleashed after, it aimed at Gu Zhan’s chest before Gu Zhan could react.

Gu Zhan slightly twisted the sword in his hand, striking Wei Wuya’s sword.

Bang!

In the entire sky, it seemed as if a thunderclap was heard, and the air around the two was instantly repelled nearly a hundred yards, swirling outward.

"In my Grotto Heaven, you were actually able to block my sword? Hehe, that’s interesting?"

Wei Wuya’s face revealed a faint smile; the sword in his hand turned, and a powerful pressure rolled down like dark clouds.

At the same time,

Out of the fluctuation in the air, a sword appeared behind Gu Zhan, a figure emerged; it was Wei Wuya.

Yet in front of Gu Zhan, Wei Wuya still existed.

Immediately, a Wei Wuya appeared on both the left and right sides.

All four Wei Wuyas attacked Gu Zhan simultaneously.

Four swords slashed through the corners of space,

Woo woo~~

In the sky, it seemed as if the sound of ghostly wails was heard.

When these four swords appeared, those watching from afar seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood tumbling, as if Eternal Hell had emerged in the world, releasing endless evil spirits, and those four Wei Wuyas were like four demon kings leading countless devils rushing toward Gu Zhan.

As they neared Gu Zhan,

The four figures suddenly began to flicker constantly, appearing and disappearing, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, sometimes jumping left and right, the swirling sand flying around chaotically, a series of terrifying airs directly rushed into the sky, stirring the night.

Suddenly, the four figures vanished, and at that moment, in the upper right, a sword emerged; this sword immediately split the air, spreading the sword momentum over a dozen yards.

And that sword fell right onto Gu Zhan’s head.

Wei Wuya still carried that smile on his face,

He wasn’t restricted by spiritual qi, could use the means of the Grotto Heaven freely without any scruples.

He had probably guessed that Gu Zhan might have killed Elder Celestial Master, which would mean Gu Zhan possessed the ability to kill a Land Immortal within the Grotto Heaven.

Thus, he didn’t fully rely on the Grotto Heaven’s advantage to kill Gu Zhan, but directly treated Gu Zhan as an equivalent possessing Grotto Heaven of a Land Immortal,

And this sword,

He didn’t think Gu Zhan could still evade.

Yet, just when he saw this sword about to pierce into Gu Zhan’s head, he suddenly sensed something, a severe crisis surged in his heart, making him feel that if the sword struck down, uncontrollable consequences might arise.

Though he couldn’t comprehend what could still go wrong, he trusted the crisis instincts that had developed through years of combat and immediately withdrew the sword.

However,

Just as he withdrew the sword,

Gu Zhan suddenly raised his hand. To Wei Wuya’s surprise, two fingers clamped onto the sword.

Instantly, a deafening roar filled the air, the entire heaven was packed with an invisible momentum causing a fierce explosion, Wei Wuya’s sword instantly shattered apart, revealing cracks starting from the tip, breaking all the way to the hilt.

"Impossible!"

Wei Wuya’s eyes were filled with shock, his pupils widened, yet he wasn’t scared but rather an endless thrill and excitement filled him.

He grinned, a vicious demonic aura rippled around him, the sound of his blood surging was like a tsunami from the ocean, bursting through his body!

"Interesting, interesting!"

"No wonder you could kill Elder Celestial Master!"

Grotto Heaven Cultivators have keener senses and sight than ordinary martial artists; he had already learned from the numerous discussions among the spectators in Yiling City that Elder Celestial Master had been killed.

However, his expression remained quite calm.

It seemed as though only an insignificant person had died.

"Gu Zhan, you and I are of the same kind, both destined to leave names in history, enjoying the worship of the world; we are pioneers of a new era, so let’s see who is truly superior!"

Boom!

A terrifying demonic aura surged violent and fierce, the rolling demonic aura around Wei Wuya suddenly condensed into armor; face and arms seemed to have blood and fleshy serpents crawling, and every piece of flesh appeared tensely drawn like taut bowstrings.
