Chapter 1057 The Old Man Who Was Beaten Up
The sudden change in tone made Trembling seem like a completely different person.

At this moment, Gongshu vaguely understood what the fortune teller meant by saying that the life-saving materials were on planet 478. It turned out that Zhanli was quite stingy.

From the moment the two had a conflict, he kept it in mind and never truly let go of the resentment in his heart.

"Trembling, you brat, what exactly do you want to say? Are you planning to fight me?"

Knowing the outcome already, he still asked one more question. Thinking about it this way, Gongshu, that old fellow, is actually quite pitiful.

He was the one who recommended the person, but in the end, the person wanted to kill him.

Hearing Zhan Li speak to this extent, the organization members responsible for transporting materials also came closer.

They temporarily put aside their work and stared intently at the old man in front of them.

"Holy crap, that's amazing."

Lin Yi, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh.

"At first I thought that Trembling was just a bit stubborn and not very bright, but I didn't expect him to be such a petty person. It's really unexpected."

The two powerful figures, who were leisurely enjoying the sun in the sea of ​​consciousness, even took off their sunglasses and began to carefully examine what Lin Yi was seeing.

"This Dark Rising organization is so-so. If we don't consider the level of divine power, isn't this just a group of young and strong men ganging up on a seventy-year-old man?"

"To do such a thing in broad daylight is truly a sign of moral decay!"

"Who can argue with that? If this happened in our time, we would have been subjected to cyberbullying."

While the three were discussing, the sixteen young men who had surrounded Gongshu De had already unleashed their signature artifacts.

The dim light emanating from their natal artifacts indicated that the sixteen members of Dark Rising were ready for battle, waiting for Trembling to give the order before swarming forward.

Meeting the cold and murderous gaze of his former comrade, Gongshu felt that his life had been a complete failure and a great irony.

He knew perfectly well that without an information system, he wouldn't even have the chance to initiate a call using the communication crystal, and the dozen or so elite Dark Rising experts wouldn't give him a chance to ask for help.

The thought that he would die at the hands of his own people made Gongshu feel incredibly ironic; his life was a failure more than anyone else's.

"You're the eldest man, yet your magnanimity is truly stingy, and your courage is even more limited than I expected. In terms of strength, you are superior, yet you lack even the confidence to fight this old man one-on-one. You tremble. Do you not deserve the title of the strongest?"

Although the old man Gongshude didn't know what the life-saving material the fortune-telling genius was talking about was, and he hadn't found any material that could help him turn the tide, Gongshude believed in the fortune-telling genius's prophecy that there must be a life-saving opportunity on this planet 478.

It was precisely because of this confidence that Gongshu was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he took the best chance to provoke Gongshu.

"Old man, don't provoke me. I won't give you any chance to live. Reputation is important, but reputation is written by the victors. You don't deserve to leave this planet 478 alive, so what are you talking about for the title of strongest?"

As he spoke, the divine power emanating from Zhanli suddenly surged.

A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted.

A gigantic hand, formed from divine power and primordial energy, ripped through the clouds above planet 478 and slammed down towards Gongshu De's location. The space it passed through was compressed, emitting mournful cries. Even Gongshu De, thousands of meters away, was affected by the collapsing space, clearly sensing that his movements were significantly restricted.

The members of Anxing who surrounded Gongshude were not idle either.

They were well aware of the terrifying strength of the Seven Heroes, and when they attacked, they held nothing back, each unleashing their most powerful and secret techniques.

On planet 478, composed of rare metal ores, land resources are scarce. Under the influence of the two creative forces, Primordial and Divine Power, two enormous mud hands sprouted from the ground and suddenly grabbed the old man Gongshu in their hands.

"Mr. Gongshu, although you are one of the Seven Heroes, you shouldn't let your guard down when facing so many of us. Underestimating us could lead to big trouble."

The moment the two giant hands came together, black runes with sealing properties quietly appeared on them. Gongshu remembered this guy's moves; his sealing techniques had played a significant role in the battles against the gods.

When the moves were applied to him, Gongshu Ban truly realized just how much of a role those seemingly insignificant members of the organization had played in the battle.

Gongshu Ban couldn't quite remember the name of this member's move.

However, this sealing technique greatly restricted the flow of divine power and primordial energy within him, preventing Gongshu from unleashing his full power.

Just as Gongshu De was about to break free of his restraints with sheer force, excruciating pain suddenly pierced through various acupoints in his body.

"Senior Gongshu, I'm sorry. Sometimes, the world is just so cruel. In order for Lord Zhanli to lead us to a wider world in the future, I ask that you perish here today. I have offended you greatly."

Eighteen icy silver needles, emanating a chilling aura, flew out from nowhere and accurately struck several major acupoints on Gongshu De's body, making it difficult for him to move, as his divine power and the flow of primordial energy were already sluggish.

Faced with attacks from numerous powerful individuals, even the Seven Heroes, one of the strongest members of the Dark Rising Organization, were struggling immensely.

As one of the Seven Heroes, Gongshu De's fighting strength is definitely more than that.

Even though he knew that these younger men surrounding him were after his life, the old man Gongshu still couldn't bring himself to go all out from the very beginning and take their lives.

His soft heart harmed him, plunging him into crisis.

Life-saving materials, it seems unlikely.

Trembling was very impatient and showed no mercy when he attacked. Seeing Trembling's attack gradually approaching, he could only helplessly give up.

Who could have imagined that the powerful and influential Gongshu Ban, who had dominated the political landscape for thousands of years, would ultimately fall victim to his own colleague?

"Lin Yi, aren't you going to make a move? I see you get along quite well with old man Gongshu, don't you plan to help him out?"

Wuzhiqi asked.

“I think we should make a move. The value of this old man Gongshu is not just limited to his combat power. The information system of Anxing that can cover the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, as well as the Anxing ring that can realize multiple functions, are all the old man’s masterpieces. If we can save this old man and get him to go with you and do things for you, then his value will be immense.”

Both Wuzhiqi and the Great Sage's words make a lot of sense.
