Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 377 Across Mountains and Rivers, Would You Be Willing to Travel With Me?
Outside the cage, Gu Mingjian's sword stretched like a rainbow, its light as unrestrained as a vast ocean traversing the mountains and forests. Within the sword light, two people dressed in red were struggling to hold on, their faces filled with horror and fear.

"What kind of monster is this? So young, yet with such formidable magical power. Unless the Poison Emperor intervenes, no one in our Southern Kingdom will be his match!"

As the incarnation of a spider demon, the Poison Master, with four pairs of eyes on his face, exclaimed in terror. At times, sword energy would rip through his red clothes, revealing his skin, which was covered with countless eyes.

"My lady, you go first!" Poison Master had already sensed Gu Ming's almost toying swordsmanship and immediately shouted.

The beautiful and alluring Poisonous Lady bit her lip tightly, offering no reply, but continuously pouring out poison from her body in response, declaring that she would live and die with her beloved!

"It's truly touching. The emotions here are incredibly moving. I've never been able to bear seeing such scenes since I was a child."

Gu Ming sighed and said, and then the sword light, which was as long as a rainbow, as vast as the ocean, and as vast as the sea of ​​clouds, came to an abrupt end. Gu Ming stood alone, holding his sword, and said.

Poison Master and Poison Lady were filled with complex emotions. They looked at the masked man in front of them in disbelief. He had an overwhelming advantage, but he suddenly stopped. This was too... too childish.
"However, you and your husband have been exploiting humans; you may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment."

After saying that, Gu Ming put his index and middle fingers together, and golden flames flowed, turning into countless threads that shattered the poisonous father and son into their spider forms, before they sank into the ground for an unknown amount of time.

Then she turned and left without looking back. Poisonous Lady was unwilling, but she also knew that being spared her life was already a great blessing, so she just silently watched Gu Ming's departing figure.

Just then, under a large tree, Dongfang Huaizhu helplessly watched his younger sister and the princess of the Southern Kingdom arguing.

However, Dongfang Qinlan's sharp tongue was far superior to that of the princess. With just a few words, she made Princess Huan Du Luolan of the Southern Kingdom jump up and down in anger.

Seeing this, Dongfang Qinlan puffed out her chest and walked forward like a victorious general, scoffing, "You call yourself a princess? You're nothing but a nobody!"

"Kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Although Huan Du Luo Lan is lovely and bright, she is a fairy, and her demonic nature remains. Once angered, she will fight fiercely.
Then, a dense purple aura spread out from her center, and wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered and all things decayed.

Dongfang Qinlan's expression changed drastically in an instant. Although she was young, she remained calm in the face of adversity. In her hand, she immediately unleashed the magnificent and imposing Pure Yang Flame, a divine fire that seemed capable of dispelling all evil spirits.

The Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, Pure Yang Flame, is specifically designed to counter demons. It can be used to temper magical artifacts and is effective against all poisons, so Dongfang Qinlan is naturally unafraid.

"Humph!"

An aged voice rang out, but it invisibly interfered with the flow of Dongfang Qinlan's magic power, and the demon-slaying divine fire that had just risen instantly extinguished into a small flame.

Dongfang Huaizhu then realized something was wrong, her eyes filled with panic, and she immediately used her magic to fly forward to try to protect her sister.

However, the poison gas was too fast and too intense, so much so that the distance between Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, which was less than ten meters apart, now seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Dongfang Qinlan's face turned deathly pale. She could smell the aura of death and decay in the poisonous gas. Once she was entangled by the gas, her life would be over. Her once bright and lively eyes were filled with boundless fear.

"No!"

Dongfang Huaizhu shouted and closed her eyes involuntarily, as if she did not want to see her own sister die here. Dongfang Qinlan did the same, her eyes closed tightly in fright, and her small body fell backward involuntarily.

呲!
After the sound of a sharp blade slicing through cloth, everything fell completely silent.

After a long while, Dongfang Huaizhu opened her eyes timidly. It was this opening of her eyes that immediately calmed her heart, which had been filled with remorse.

Qin Lan, the younger sister, was unharmed. A sword mark appeared in front of her, cutting away all the poisonous gas, like a natural barrier separating the inside from the outside.

"The Poison King bullies the weak; it doesn't sound very good to say that."

The familiar voice reached her ears, and Dongfang Huaizhu's heart stirred again, filled with an indescribable emotion, perhaps one that could be described as reassurance.

A striking figure in white robes descended with a sword, facing an unremarkable old man with short stature, gray hair tied in many small braids, and wearing an exaggeratedly large red hat.

Huan Du Luolan exclaimed joyfully, "Father, you're here! That little girl bullied me, please avenge me!"

Huan Du Qingtian looked at Huan Du Luolan with doting eyes, just smiling without saying a word. But when he looked at Gu Ming, his expression suddenly turned cold, like the most dangerous beast, making people feel fear.

"This is the Poison Emperor. As expected of one of the Four Emperors in the history of humans and monsters, he is really strong. Without the King's Sword, I'm in a bit of trouble."

Gu Ming thought to himself, though he was surprised, he was not afraid. Although this Poison Emperor was strong, as long as he showed his strength and background, this Poison Emperor, who did not want to cause trouble for the sake of the Southern Kingdom, would let them leave.

"Little one, it's hard for me to work freely with you here."

Gu Ming laughed, then helped Dongfang Qinlan up after she fell. He even couldn't resist pinching her cute little face a couple of times. Ouch~ It felt even better, so bouncy and jelly-like.

Dongfang Qinlan then seemed to wake from a dream, her eyes snapping open, only to be filled with tears, some clinging to her long eyelashes, making her look incredibly pitiful.

Although she is still young, it is clear that she will grow up to be a great beauty who is no less beautiful than her older sister.

This was the second time Dongfang Qinlan had seen Gu Ming. What caught her eye was his tall and upright figure and his comically ugly mask. For some reason, the moment she saw Gu Ming, most of the fear in the little girl's heart dissipated.

"Alright, go find your sister. Leave the rest to me."

Gu Ming spoke again, but to his surprise, Dongfang Qinlan suddenly puffed out her cheeks, as if to say, "You keep pinching my cheeks, how am I supposed to go find my sister?"

Gu Ming then let go with an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, sorry, it felt so good, I couldn't resist."

The usually eloquent Dongfang Qinlan blushed slightly at this moment, and without saying a word, she turned around and ran to find her sister.

"You young man are truly formidable, daring to disregard this old man like this."

Huan Du Qingtian spoke calmly, his eyes like those of a fierce tiger, exuding a strong sense of oppression. Wisps of demonic power emanated from his body, transforming into poisonous gas that enveloped the surrounding landscape.

"I dare not, I am well aware of the name of the Poison Emperor. He once single-handedly wiped out the seventy-two cave masters of the Southern Kingdom when he was young. Such a feat is admired by all under heaven."

Everyone likes to hear nice things, and the Poison King was no exception. Of course, his hands never stopped moving, far larger and more vast than Huan Du Luo Lan, with dense poisonous gas obscuring everything.

The purple poisonous mist and demonic aura caused the world to change color. The sun was shining brightly, but now there was only an extremely dense purple, making everything feel suffocated.

Dongfang Huaizhu was shocked by the Poison King's strength. Even her father at his peak might not have been able to overpower him. "You came to my Southern Kingdom, injured my subordinates, destroyed my prison, and upset my daughter. These are not things that can be forgiven with a few nice words," Huan Du Qingtian said indifferently.

Gu Ming knew he had to show his skills, otherwise this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved. The Poison King was unwilling to provoke powerful figures and great families, but he wouldn't show any mercy to Little Karami.

Before he could finish his thought, Huan Du Qingtian had already made his move. With a gentle push of his withered and aged hand, a large hand formed from purple poisonous gas slammed towards Gu Ming and the others, as if a Vajra had been possessed by a demon, unstoppable!
Dongfang Huaizhu and the other rescued scions of noble families were initially shocked, but then they gritted their teeth and stepped forward to help Gu Ming defend himself.

A dazzling sword light obscured their vision and slowed their movements. Then, the sword light and the poisonous hand collided, shattering the poisonous hand and dissipating the sword light.

"Huh?" Huan Du Qingtian exclaimed in surprise. Although he hadn't used his full strength, there were very few in the world who could withstand it. This person in front of him could do it so casually, which showed that he was extraordinary.

Then he waved his hand again, and several more towering, poisonous hands came down. The most sophisticated attacks are often so simple and unadorned. Overpowering others with force is not as effective as fancy tricks.
The poisonous gas surged from all directions, sealing everything off. Gu Ming couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. The sword in his hand had transformed into a blazing light, like a long dragon dancing wildly between heaven and earth, resisting the winds from all sides.

Instantly, the poisonous hand shattered again, and everyone stared at Gu Ming in shock, as did the other young masters from aristocratic families. They usually thought themselves highly skilled, but compared to the person in front of them, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

Regarding the attack just now, apart from Dongfang Huaizhu, who possesses the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, who could withstand it to some extent, none of them dared to say that they could hold out for even a moment.

Then everyone was overjoyed, thinking that with Gu Ming here they could have no worries.

Before a smile could even bloom on his face, the longsword in Gu Ming's hand shattered into pieces. This sword was already a remarkable magical weapon, but it was still somewhat powerless under the Poison King's poison.

Huan Du Luolan was initially surprised, but when she saw that Gu Ming's sword was broken, she immediately said, "Hmph, you don't even have a sword anymore, let's see how you fight now!"

"I have no sword; I myself am the strongest sword!"

Gu Ming thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud, as it could easily be misinterpreted. He simply smiled and said, "Want to give it a try?"

Huan Du Qingtian remained silent, but made another move to test the waters. He was certain that the person in front of him was no ordinary person and must be the heir of a powerful force. Therefore, he hesitated whether to spare the person's life.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but he also couldn't afford to tarnish the prestige of the Southern Kingdom. So he decided to see if Gu Ming could deal with him.

At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu flew up to stand next to Gu Ming and said, "I'll help you deal with this."

"It just so happens that I had the same idea. I borrowed something from you earlier, and now that I'm in this crisis, I need to borrow something from you again."

"What?"

"Pure Yang Flame, the Divine Fire that Annihilates Demons!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu did not hesitate at all. Golden pure Yang Flame emanated from the divine fire mark between his eyebrows, forming a raging inferno that gave people a sense of holiness.

Although the fire was large, it paled in comparison to the poisonous gas that caused the sky and earth to change color.

Gu Ming looked at Dongfang Huaizhu with deep affection and said, "Perhaps this is a bit presumptuous, but if I don't say these things now, I'm afraid I won't be able to say them later."

Before Dongfang Huaizhu could react, Gu Ming continued:

"If we manage to get out of here alive, would you be willing to travel with me to see all the mountains and rivers?"

At this moment, Dongfang Huaizhu's heart was pounding. She couldn't understand why the masked man in front of her could say such things at such a critical moment, but why it made her heart race.

"How presumptuous of us, we don't even know their names yet," Dongfang Huaizhu thought to herself.

Having said that, Gu Ming made a sword-pointing gesture with his fingers, and a sharp, soaring sword intent erupted from his body. Then, golden light shone from Gu Ming's body, and like a sword immortal, he sang loudly in the filthy world:

“I have a sword that can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, the Poison King is ferocious, and there is no earth energy left here. Therefore, I will draw upon the pure Yang Flame from the young lady to replace the earth energy.”

Then, spiritual energy from all directions transformed into spiritual light and gathered towards Gu Ming, and a magnificent longsword, with the spiritual energy of heaven as its bone and pure Yang Flame as its flesh and blood, was drawn out from the void.

With each inch the sword was drawn, its power became immeasurably fierce, until finally, a divine fire longsword as large as a mountain was grasped in Gu Ming's hand.

Even Huan Du Qingtian couldn't help but change color. He sensed the extraordinary nature of this sword, and in his memory, only a member of a certain family could possess such power.

That is the number one family in the world—the Heaven and Earth Sword, the Royal Power Family!

As his thoughts raced, Huan Du Qingtian's murderous intent subsided considerably. Although he was powerful, he was unwilling to make enemies indiscriminately, especially not the renowned Wangquan family.

But as the saying goes, everyone has their pride, so Huan Du Qingtian said, "If you want to break my divine power, take this!"

Then all the poisonous gas from all directions converged here, as if it were about to unleash a powerful attack. However, in reality, although it looked fierce, its intensity was only comparable to that of Gu Ming condensing his divine sword, so that he could carve out a sliver of hope.

Gu Ming was not surprised, knowing that this was a sure thing. Of course, even if Huan Du Qingtian lost his mind and tried to wipe them out, he still had the Life-Saving Sword.

He poured all his magical power into the Divine Fire Longsword, causing the flames on the sword to burn even more fiercely. The two energies of heaven and fire intertwined, majestic and imposing, like an overwhelming force, as it slashed towards Huan Du Qingtian.

Rumble!
The attack formed by Huan Du Qingtian's poisonous gas was completely wiped out, and then it charged towards Huan Du Qingtian with undiminished momentum.

The monster never expected Gu Ming's sword to be so powerful. He thought he had it under control, but he couldn't defend against it. He then hurriedly launched another poison attack at the sword light.

Moreover, the poisonous gas that had sealed off the heavens and earth was cut open, allowing sunlight to shine in.

"go!"

With a loud shout, Gu Ming then lifted Dongfang Huaizhu in one hand and Dongfang Qinlan in the other, like two sisters embracing each other, and soared into the sky.

The other scions of prominent families also jumped up and quickly followed, afraid that if they were too slow, they would never be able to leave.

While embracing two women, Gu Ming glanced at the scions of noble families following him. Without a word, he shook them off at several bends in a row, deciding that they were no longer in danger and should stop clinging to him.

He still has two sisters to deal with; winning over his wife is the real priority.

Wow!
Gu Ming paused for a moment, then landed on the ground.
