Chapter 438 - Stand Farther Back, Careful Don’t Get Blood on You!
The Hua youth glanced at Gu Han, hesitated for a moment, and seemed about to say something as well.
Xiao Yang transmitted secretly. “Don’t say a word! Trust me! Don’t get involved in his business, or you’ll die an ugly death!”
The Hua youth nodded and swallowed back his words. Since they were acquainted, he trusted that the other party wouldn’t speak without reason.
Gu Han glanced at the red mark on Yang Lan’s neck and furrowed his brow slightly. “She is his sister, his most beloved sister, and also my sister!”
Gao Xu didn’t understand his words. “Geez. You speak as if she’s dead! Aren’t you blowing this out of proportion?”
The people behind him spoke up one after another.
“Exactly! She’s still alive and well!”
“So what if she’s your sister? You killed someone else’s brother!”
“You little native brain can’t even tell the right from wrong!”
"Keep causing trouble, and your sister will die!"
They had great confidence. So what if Gu Han was strong? They had guardians! With one command, they could turn the entire Northern Domain into scorched earth.
Gu Han suddenly laughed. His smile grew wider and wider, while the killing intent in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. He glanced at Chang Wei at the bottom of the pit. “Indeed. The dead are easier to reason with!”
His invisible sword qi compressed to half a cun, and sword light flickered at the tip of his blade, faintly turning red. At the same time, a vast killing intent locked firmly onto Chang Wei.
Chang Wei was terrified. “Gao Xu, quick! Save me!”
Without hesitation, Gao Xu and the people behind him immediately transmitted to their guardians. “Kill him and his sister, then destroy this place! We’ve been too kind to these natives!”
Countless powerful and unparalleled auras rose up and rushed toward this place.
Wei Fang’s heart turned cold. It’s over... I’m going to die!
At the same time, Gu Han’s sword had already reached Chang Wei. “Kill!”
Chang Wei acted like a demon possessed, his muscles swelling explosively. Under the shadow of death, he experienced a burst of strength and caught Gu Han’s sword between his hands.
From the tip of Gu Han’s sword, a ray of sword light shot out and pierced into his brow.
“You dare kill me—”
The light in Chang Wei’s eyes quickly faded, and his arms reverted back, hanging limply at his sides. The guardians just happened to arrive at that moment. There were four Feather Transformation realm cultivators and eight Saint realm cultivators.
Gao Xu’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent. “Slaughter everyone except for those from the Ancient Cang Realm, leave no one alive! I want this place to become a dead zone!”
The Hua youth frowned deeply. “That’s too much! We came to seek opportunities, not to kill. There are so many living beings here—”
Gao Xu sneered. “Brother Hua, you’re far too soft-hearted. These natives are beneath us! If they don’t obey, they die! We set the rules!”
Xiao Yang thought for a moment before pulling the Hua youth far off to the side.
“What are you doing?!”
“You’re standing too close. That’s a splash zone.”
Just then, the sky above Yue Mountain City changed color. Amid the stirring wind and thunder, a vast and domineering sword intent hung over everyone, so overwhelming that none could resist.
Everyone looked up. What is this?!
There was nothing above! The source of the change was Gu Han. He calmly approached Gao Xu and the others. A three-cun-long white sword hovered at his brow. Although it was small, the sword intent it emitted was despairing.
Yan Qi glanced at the dazed Yang Lan and sighed with emotion. “It’s good to have a brother. Unfortunately, the Yan family has been single heirs for seven generations. I don’t have such good fortune...”
Li Xun thought for a moment. “Daoist Yan Qi, I lost my parents early and have been alone since childhood, without family or relatives. If you don’t mind, I would like to become sworn brothers with you...”
Overjoyed, Yan Qi landed in front of Li Xun and bowed. “Yes! Yes! To become sworn brothers with you is my good fortune!”
The man and the flood dragon looked at each other, faint traces of tears glistening in their eyes.
Xiao Yang didn’t envy them at all. What’s so good about having a brother? Does my brother ever care about me? Not only does he never stand up for me, but he also often beats me up.
At that moment, one of the Feather Transformation cultivators above said, “There may... be some misunderstanding here...”
Gu Han glanced at Gao Xu. “Aren’t you going to set the rules?”
Almost imperceptibly, the white small sword trembled. The group of guardians’ froze completely. In the next moment, they collapsed, turning into a rain of blood that poured down on Gao Xu and the others.
Xiao Yang glanced at the young man with the surname Hua. “See that? If I hadn't pulled you aside, you'd have been soaked.”
The Hua youth suddenly had the same thought as Xiao Yang. He’s too strong and terrifying!
Not far away, Gu Han swayed again, and he landed right next to Gao Xu and the others. Forty-nine strands of Great Evolution Sword Qi fell once more, quickly reaping their lives.
In the blink of an eye, only Gao Xu remained on the field. He could only regret his earlier recklessness. Aside from Xiao Yang, no one could have imagined that Gu Han had such a domineering sword intent.
“Have some mercy—”
The sword instantly fell. The faintly red forty-nine strands of sword qi merged into one and pierced directly through his brow. His corpse fell to the ground.
Among the onlookers, those local cultivators who had allied with the outer domain went pale instantly. We’re done for!
Gu Han gently closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the red light in them had disappeared. He didn’t bother with those people either. Without their backing, no matter how glorious they had been before, they would suffer just as miserably from now on.
Di Kan walked over, carrying the ape clan girl while feeling grateful. “Thank you! I owe you my life!”
If not for Gu Han today, his fate would have been absolutely miserable. Out of habit, Gu Han glanced at that ape clan girl, whose fur was really thick.
Di Kan grew alert. “What are you doing?! I know Xiao Rou is very beautiful, and you saved me, but... one thing is for sure. I can give you my life, but y-you can’t have Xiao Rou!”
Gu Han’s face darkened slightly. He really wanted to finish what Chang Wei couldn’t.
Xiao Yang carefully walked over. “Brother Gu, let me introduce you. This is Hua Xing, a disciple of the Nine Profound Gate from the Ancient Cang Realm. He’s different from Chang Wei and the others...”
Hua Xing frowned deeply. Xiao Yang has no backbone! Do you have to be so humble just because someone is strong?!
Gu Han glanced at Hua Xing. “Disciple? Are you also a Heavenly Pride?”
Hua Xing trembled, and he became humble too. “No, no! In front of you, I’m not worthy of such a title! You’re the true Heavenly Pride!”
Xiao Yang looked down on him slightly. Hua Xing, Hua Xing. So you’re also a flatterer. I look down on you!
Gu Han ignored him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Li Xun, who was deep in brotherly affection with Yan Qi. Li Xun understood perfectly and scurried off to collect the spoils of battle. These outer domain Heavenly Prides were extremely wealthy after all.
Yang Lan walked over with tears in her eyes. “Brother Gu, thank you...”
Gu Han frowned slightly. “No need to thank me. With Yang Ying gone, you are my own sister. No one can bully you! Besides, this matter started because of me. Don’t say things like that again!”
Yang Lan nodded. “Okay! Brother Gu, will you stay in the Northern Domain?”
Gu Han shook his head. “No. I’ll head to the Central Continent soon. But don’t worry, the Northern Domain is safe for now. You cultivate well within the sect. After I finish handling—”
Before he finished speaking, an intermittent sound of sutra chanting came from the distant horizon.
Everyone looked up subconsciously. Huh? Who’s chanting sutras?
