After the perfect opening, I joined the chat group

Chapter 295, 304. Gu Yuan: "It hurts, it hurts so much!"

Seeing that the three immortals of the ancient clan were so easily defeated by Xiao Yan, the people of the ancient clan were almost numb.

They had no choice but to place their hopes on the last person.

Gu Yuan.

Ancient clan chief.

On the Battle Continent, a peerless powerhouse at the late stage of the Nine-Star Battle Saint!
Surely even Clan Chief Gu Yuan can't be a match for Xiao Yan, right?
After the three immortals of the ancient clan were captured, another person was also dragged out by Xiao Yan and forced to kneel on the ground.

Eight-star Dou Sheng, Black Annihilation King Gu Lie.

When everyone saw that even the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie had been captured, their hearts skipped a beat!
If an eight-star Dou Sheng is already this strong, how terrifying must Xiao Yan's strength be?
Is the clan chief really his match?

Countless people felt uneasy.

They were terrified that the next second they would see the clan chief Gu Yuan kneeling here as well.

but.

Time passed second by second, but Gu Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Hope was rekindled in the hearts of the ancient people.

maybe……

Is the clan leader really capable?

Their eyes lit up.

Little did they know that their now-respected clan leader was in a far worse state than they were.

……

The moment Gu Yuan saw Xiao Yan make a move, he sensed something was wrong.

He immediately wanted to intervene, but the moment he tried, the void in the area where he was located distorted.

A figure stood with his hands behind his back, appearing in front of him.

Looking at that figure from behind, a look of horror flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

He sensed no trace of this figure, and even the space where the figure resided seemed to exist...

It can only be seen with the naked eye.

That contradictory sense of sensation felt very strange...

To know.

He's a nine-star Dou Sheng level powerhouse.

"I never expected we'd meet like this!"

The figure slowly turned around, and unsurprisingly, it was Xiao Yan.

However, it is not his true form.

Rather, it was an avatar he created using the Three Lives Emperor Scripture.

Think left and right.

Xiao Yan still felt it was too cruel to personally teach his father-in-law a lesson.

However, using a clone to attack is a different story.

The clone attacked you, what does that have to do with my original self?

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan with shock in his eyes.

"I never expected that after the bloodline of the former Dou Di was destroyed, the Xiao Clan could still produce such a terrifying young man as you, even surpassing Xiao Xuan..."

Gu Yuan believed that he already valued Xiao Yan highly.

He even boldly estimated that Xiao Yan was very likely to possess the combat power of a high-level Dou Sheng.

That is, the combat power of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

Unexpectedly, it still wasn't bold enough.

Even a nine-star Dou Sheng like himself was like an ant in front of Xiao Yan.

"I believe I have been quite polite to your ancient clan, but you seem rather ungrateful?"

Xiao Yan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's heart trembled, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Who the hell would have thought you were this awesome!

He spoke with a hint of bitterness: "Xun'er possesses a divine bloodline that has not appeared in our ancient clan for nearly a thousand years. Naturally, the elders of the clan are unwilling to see this bloodline become imperfect because of other things, which is why they have repeatedly obstructed you... From the perspective of the patriarch of my ancient clan, I naturally cannot offer you much help in these matters. After all, I am the patriarch, and the clan must come first..."

"The people in our clan are only doing this to protect the interests of our clan..."

"That's why I've never hidden my cultivation level!" Xiao Yan interrupted him.

"When Xun'er and I parted ways before, she already knew that I had broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, and I didn't ask her to hide my cultivation level!"

"The purpose is to demonstrate our value and avoid unnecessary problems, but you still seem dissatisfied!"

"Me, a dignified Dou Sheng, need to be investigated just to enter your Heavenly Saint City? You mere ants at the Dou Zun realm dare to show me murderous intent? Do you ancient clans really think I, Xiao Yan, have no temper?"

Upon hearing these words, Gu Yuan's heart pounded wildly.

That's true.

but.

Who would believe this is true?

A Dou Sheng in his early twenties, still a down-on-his-luck guy from a small town...

Even storytellers wouldn't dare exaggerate like that.

Everyone thought that Gu Xun'er had made this up so that she could be with Xiao Yan.

He was always skeptical.

Therefore, he did not stop the ancient clan from testing Xiao Yan.

If the test reveals that he is indeed a Battle Saint, that would be the best outcome.

Slightly less desirable.

Even if Xiao Yan isn't a Dou Sheng, as long as he has decent talent and Gu Xun'er likes him, she can barely accept him.

If Xiao Yan were truly a useless person, he wouldn't even be able to withstand the slightest test.

That would be even better.

This could directly extinguish Gu Xun'er's hopes...

What's so great about liking a good-for-nothing?

From the clan leader's perspective, he's not at a disadvantage no matter what.

Therefore, he allowed the ancient clans to provoke Xiao Yan.

Results now.

They've gone too far...

If Xiao Yan were only a Dou Zun or a one-star Dou Sheng, then it would be understandable for him to undergo some trials.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength is what matters.

Even though Xiao Yan is a one-star Dou Sheng, he is still at a disadvantage in front of the ancient clans.

When Gu Xun'er married him, it was considered a marriage of convenience.

How can you succeed without going through some trials and tribulations and making some sacrifices?
The problem is that Xiao Yan is stronger than the ancient clan.

The ancient clans were the weaker party in front of Xiao Yan.

The strong are respected.

It's a blessing for the ancient clan that I've taken a liking to them, and you dare to test me?
The relationship between Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er is not like that, but that is the underlying logic of how this world works.

Xiao Yan is weak, so no matter how good his relationship with Gu Xun'er is, it's useless. The Gu Clan will see if he's qualified.

Xiao Yan is strong. So what if he and Gu Xun'er have no feelings for each other? I'll just take her by force. What can you do about it?
Throughout history, only the strong have tested the weak.

How can the weak test the strong?

So, the ancient tribes have run into a brick wall.

After much deliberation, Gu Yuan had no choice but to appeal to Xun'er's emotions: "Those elders were only doing it for Xun'er's own good..."

Xiao Yan smiled upon hearing this: "I'm doing this for Xun'er's own good. The ancient clans are so domineering and arrogant. If they make powerful enemies in the future and implicate Xun'er, that wouldn't be good..."

"So I need to clean up some people in the ancient clan for Xun'er, so that they won't implicate her in the future... Isn't this for Xun'er's own good?"

Gu Yuan was stunned by what he heard. He opened his mouth several times but did not know what to say.

Those in the ancient clan who were dissatisfied with Xiao Yan were using the pretext of doing what was best for Gu Xun'er to prevent her from being with Xiao Yan.

Now Xiao Yan is turning around and using the pretext of doing what's best for Gu Xun'er to deal with those elders.

With their spear,

Attack their shield...

He really didn't know how to refute it.

Xiao Yan looked at the silent Gu Yuan and spoke again: "If I were only at the Dou Zun realm, I could accept going through some trials with Xun'er..."

"Defeating the strongest of your ancient clan's younger generation proves that I am worthy to be with Xun'er. Xun'er is worth it for me to do that..."

"But the problem is, I am a Dou Sheng, and a Dou Sheng whose combat power is comparable to a Dou Di. The ancient clans dare to show killing intent towards me; their courage is indeed commendable..."

"Alright then, if you want to test whether I'm worthy of being with Xun'er, I'll test you too..."

"Are you even worthy of being Xun'er's people?!"

As Xiao Yan spoke, he tore apart a space and created a small world.

"There are six trials here: a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​swords, a raging sea of ​​fire, a valley of eternal ice, a wind that cuts to the bone, an endless purgatory, an absolute trial..."

"If anyone from your ancient clan can pass these six tests, then your 'testing' of me will be wiped clean. After all, you tested me, and I tested you. It's only natural to return the favor. We are all one family!"

"However, if it doesn't pass—Clan Chief Gu Yuan should understand one thing."

"The strong must not be humiliated!"

Gu Yuan remained silent as he watched Xiao Yan casually create a small world.

How can there be such a huge gap between two Dou Sheng?

He looked at the so-called "six levels of difficulty" in the small world!
He didn't know how Xiao Yan had created these six challenges.

However, he could sense that some of the levels contained extremely terrifying power. Even for a nine-star Dou Sheng like himself, entering them would mean suffering a severe blow.

Other ancient people.

Going in is suicide...

Are you testing the ancient clan or me?
Gu Yuan remembered what Gu Xun'er had said.

He said Xiao Yan had wanted to beat him up for a long time.

The so-called six levels of trials...

It was actually aimed at him.

Revenge, blatant revenge!

"Ugh……"

Gu Yuan sighed; he wasn't too worried about his own safety.

No matter what.

He is also Xun'er's father.

Xiao Yan couldn't possibly have really killed himself.

But today.

It'll probably take a lot of pain, though...

“Very well, I am Xun’er’s father, so let me prove that I am worthy to be her father…”

Gu Yuan entered the small world with a death-defying spirit.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly upon seeing this scene.

Old Deng.

Your good days have come...

……

Upon entering the small world, Gu Yuan immediately sensed the difference of this place.

This place has an incomparably pure essence of plants and trees.

This vital energy continuously nourished his body.

With this special vital energy, Gu Yuan estimated that as long as he wasn't instantly killed, he could recover from even the most severe injuries...

If Gu Yuan were to encounter this energy outside, he would probably be overjoyed.

Isn't this a tremendous opportunity?

Something that can save your life.

But encountering something like this here, Gu Yuan could only smile wryly.

No need to think about it.

This thing must be Xiao Yan's doing.

He was hanging on to his own life.

Just as he had guessed, his life was not in danger.

However, that's just an estimate.

I'm going to suffer a lot...

"Let me see... just what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve."

As the strongest person on the mainland, Gu Yuan quickly adjusted his mindset.

No longer afraid, we want to see what methods Xiao Yan has.
It's incredibly powerful!
With confident strides, Gu Yuan entered the first level.

Mountains of knives and seas of swords!
The phrase "mountains of knives and seas of swords" refers to the sight of knives forming mountains and sword energy forming seas.

Stepping into a sea of ​​knives and swords...

Gu Yuan immediately sensed an extremely sharp killing intent.

"Sword and blade energy at the level of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng?"

Looking at the obstacle in front of him, Gu Yuan gasped.

tmd.

There were mountains of blades composed of blade auras at the level of nine-star Dou Sheng, and seas of sword energy at the level of nine-star Dou Sheng...

How the hell do we get through here?
With a heavy heart, he unleashed his terrifying battle aura and stepped into the sea of ​​swords and blades!
"Ok!"

As soon as he stepped inside, Gu Yuan let out a muffled groan.

pain!
It hurts so much!
Those terrifying blades and sword energies tore through his battle aura in an instant, and then pierced into his body.

It rampaged through his body without restraint, cutting into his flesh.

In just a few breaths, blood seeped from his skin all over his body, and his whole body looked as if it had been chopped into minced meat.

If it weren't for that special vital energy supporting them...

His body had long since been separated into tiny, invisible bits of flesh.

It felt as if my whole body was being cut by knives.

For him, this was not a description, but a realistic portrayal.

The key point is that this pain is not simply the pain of being cut in the flesh.

Those sword energies and blade beams raged within my body; the pain, the exhilarating sensation…

Gu Yuan almost fainted from the pain.

Oh shit.

It would be better to just get beaten up.

Gu Yuan regretted it.

My daughter, have you found yourself a husband?
You've fucking found me a living devil!

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have sent Gu Xun'er to the Xiao family in the first place.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have allowed those people in his clan to test Xiao Yan.

Damn it, I already lost my daughter, and now I have to suffer like this myself?

I could understand the suffering I endured when I married my wife, but now I have to suffer again when I marry off my daughter.

pain!
It hurts so much!
Gu Yuan was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness, and was almost numb. He himself didn't know how he had survived the ordeal.

However, the moment he stepped out of the sea of ​​knives and swords.

Tears streamed down his face.

Tears flowed down my face.

A dignified nine-star Dou Sheng level expert was crying like a child weighing several hundred pounds!

Xiao Yan, witnessing this scene from the outside, sighed.

"As expected, I was too kind-hearted... Look how moved Old Deng is... The ancient clan treated me so badly, and I didn't even lay a hand on Old Deng myself..."

-

In just a few breaths, Gu Yuan's injuries were completely healed.

This is naturally thanks to the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor's skill!

With the power of the Azure Emperor Wood King, Gu Yuan would find it difficult to die even if he wanted to.

His injuries, which had been life-threatening, healed in just a few breaths.

Gu Yuan couldn't even imagine how strong he would be if he had such abilities.
But he didn't have time to marvel at this ability.

Because the second challenge appeared before him.

A raging inferno!

This raging sea of ​​fire was naturally created by Xiao Yan using a different kind of fire.

Walking across it allows one to experience the intense, tingling sensation of being burned by various strange flames.

In other words, it lets people experience the exhilarating feeling of absorbing a different kind of fire without the Crimson Emperor's Fire Aura...

In the original story, he desperately absorbed the strange fire in order to be with Gu Xun'er.

It's time to let this old man experience it too.

His suffering at that time.

……

"Exotic fire!"

As a powerful expert at the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng, Gu Yuan naturally saw through the trick.

"A sea of ​​fire composed of strange flames..."

His lips tasted bitter.

With his cultivation level as a Battle Saint, many different flames could not actually cause him much harm.

After all, different types of strange fire vary in strength.

but……

These strange flames before me.

Without exception, they all exuded the aura of a Dou Sheng level.

Terribly strong.

Stepping into it yourself, the experience would probably not be pleasant.

After much hesitation...

Gu Yuan then carefully stepped inside.

pain!
It hurts so much!
Unsurprisingly, he let out another scream.

He was in so much pain that he was almost numb when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

A meaty aroma wafts through the air.

"What's that smell...it smells so good!"
