Supreme Sword Exalt

Chapter 434 - I Like Reasoning with the Dead

Sponsored

The three outer domain cultivators glanced at Gu Han with malice and cruelty. Let’s see how you die!

They still couldn’t get over how a mere native had injured them. It was the one thing they could not accept. They wanted to capture Gu Han and make him suffer a fate worse than death.

Gu Han looked toward the horizon and slowly closed his eyes. “Guardian? I have one too.”

The three men sneered. You have nothing! A mere native doesn’t deserve a guardian!

Xiao Yang’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately sent a message to Elder Qian. The five guardians arrived in the sky above. At the same time, the small white sword within Gu Han’s consciousness space trembled for a moment. A sharp, peerless, and domineering intent flashed by.

“Presumptuous native—AAH!”

“Young Master, don’t panic—AAH!”

“What is this—AAH!”

“Which expert—AAH!”

Five miserable screams rang out in perfect harmony. The guardians had barely shown up when they were turned into a rain of blood. Everyone was dumbfounded, Xiao Yang was stunned.

The three youths turned ashen, staring blankly at the falling blood rain. Where are my guardians?

Although they weren’t from top-tier noble families, their weakest guardian was at the fifth stage of the Saint realm, while the strongest was at the peak of the Saint realm.

Li Xun laughed maniacally in his heart. Their guardians hadn’t done anything yet, and yet they were gone! Hahaha! What are they even for?!

If not for the many Qixia Court disciples still present, he would have jumped up right there, forgetting all decorum.

Just then, Elder Qian landed beside Xiao Yang. He glanced at Gu Han with shock. “Second Young Master, this...”

Even though it lasted only a moment, as an expert of the Feather Transformation realm, he could perceive that overwhelming, unmatched sword intent more clearly than anyone. He even recognized it. It’s the blind old man’s from the forbidden zone!

After all, he had experienced it himself and remembered it very clearly.

When Xiao Yang heard his guess, his eyes widened instantly. What?! Brother Gu has a connection with that person?

Inside the consciousness space, the small white sword had only vanished for a moment before hovering back in place. Having slain five Saint realm experts, Gu Han felt no decrease in the sword intent whatsoever.

He sighed inwardly. Indeed. It’d be too degrading for the old man to raise a hand against such weak opponents! What a pity. The old man’s sword was too strong, it didn’t leave anything behind.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the three again. “Let’s continue. Where were we?”

Li Xun, ever so perceptive, provided a timely reminder. “Fairness!”

“And after fairness?”

Li Xun had once again guessed Gu Han’s intention. “Robbery!”

Gu Han gave him an approving look. He’s handy to have around!

Encouraged by Gu Han’s approval, Li Xun grew even more enthusiastic. Like a rooster on steroids, he began improvising, “Hand over your things! Don’t make him repeat himself or you’ll die!”

Elder Qian stared at Li Xun. Where did such an eccentric come from?

Taking a deep breath, the three dared not resist any further and handed over their storage rings one after another.

Gu Han glanced at the three. “That’s all?”

The three men’s eyes practically spat fire, their hearts filled with malice and unwillingness. “Everything’s inside!”

They secretly resolved that as soon as they escaped this crisis, they would make Gu Han pay.

Gu Han nodded. “Good. Three gentlemen, time to hit the road.”

The three were stunned. What?!

Without even giving them time to react, Gu Han swayed lightly, before reappearing beside the Wang youth. Extending his right hand, he grasped the empty air. All forty-nine strands of the Great Evolution Sword Qi condensed in his hand, forming an illusory sword.

“Kill!”

With a fierce shout, the sword, faintly tinged with blood light, fell.

The Wang youth only managed to say a single word before his head and body were separated. “You—”

Even though the man was dead, the sword’s momentum did not stop. It shot toward the Zhou youth at an even greater speed and exploded, once again transforming into forty-nine strands of sword qi. Before he could even react, they pierced straight through him, riddling him like a sieve.

Gu Han slowly walked toward the Chen youth, strands of sword qi gathering in his hand. When he was just three chi before his opponent, his sword qi had almost solidified. Gu Han raised his arm slightly and pointed his sword at the Chen youth’s brow.

Gu Han explained again, “For the sake of fairness, you need to go down and keep them company.”

The Chen youth’s eyes turned bloodshot. “You broke your promise! You said if we handed over our storage rings, you’d let us—”

Gu Han raised an eyebrow. “Did I say that? Who heard me?”

Li Xun turned serious. “Vanguard Gu, I swear upon myself that you absolutely, definitely did not say that!”

Yan Qi, being an honest little flood dragon, thought back carefully and shook his head. “Senior, you indeed did not say that!”

The Chen youth completely broke down. I said the exact same thing to that guy!

Gu Han smiled. “Alright. Don’t keep them waiting too long.”

His sword then compressed to its extreme. As a red light flickered briefly, a sword mark appeared on the man’s brow. He fell to the ground, unmoving.

Xiao Yang swallowed his saliva. He’s too strong and terrifying!

Elder Qian’s insight was far superior, hence his expression was somewhat complex. “Second Young Master, this man is extraordinary! Judging by his performance, he should be a sword cultivator, yet he didn’t even use a sword!”

Xiao Yang was truly terrified. He suddenly remembered that he had never seen Gu Han use a sword during the two times they had met. If he had a sword, how powerful would he be?

Elder Qian smiled wryly. “Remarkable. His cultivation level is only at the seventh stage of the Transcendent realm. Even if the eldest young master came and fought him at the same realm, I’m afraid—”

Xiao Yang pretended to understand. “Exactly! Big Brother will likely lose!”

Elder Qian glanced at him. “No. He would die.”

Xiao Yang was speechless.

Just then, Gu Han arrived before him. “Brother Xiao, could I trouble you for something?”

“Of course!”

Facing Gu Han, Xiao Yang was so humble it made Elder Qian’s heart ache. Second Young Master, you shouldn’t have come!

“Brother Xiao, that gathering you mentioned the other day, it’s today, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Would you mind leading the way, so that I can properly admire these outer domain Heavenly Prides?”

Xiao Yang was taken aback. “Brother Gu, are you—”

“They captured my little sister to be a servant. She’s gentle by nature, so I want to keep an eye on her and make sure no one bullies her.”

Xiao Yang’s heart skipped a beat. “Brother Gu, you—”

Gu Han smiled very gently. “Don’t worry. I’m not fond of killing. I prefer reasoning with people.”

Yan Qi secretly shook his head. Ten years have passed, and he’s still so witty.

Xiao Yang subconsciously glanced at the three corpses not far away and smiled bitterly. “Reasoning...? They might not be very receptive.”

Gu Han smiled even more gently. “It doesn’t matter. Actually, I prefer reasoning with the dead. They don’t argue with me.”

Xiao Yang was speechless.
