Chapter 166: Five Grandmasters Besiege
In an instant, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, which had already collapsed into ruins, seemed to be injected with a strange power and suddenly became noisy and restless.

All I could hear was a series of dense and creepy sounds of metal clashing, as if thousands of troops were fighting right next to my ears.

Then, there was a loud bang.
In the weapon-casting furnace in the inner chamber of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, a ray of light wrapped in blazing flames shot up into the sky. It was the Gou Chen Demon Sword.

At this moment, the Gou Chen Demon Sword was engulfed in flames, its temperature even higher than before, but it no longer had any of its former evil aura.

The knife was like a meteor with a long tail of fire, tearing through the night sky and falling straight into Lu Canyang's palm.

He lightly gripped the hilt of the knife with his five fingers. It felt hot to the touch, yet seemed to blend with his breath.

Lu Canyang flicked his arm, casually waving it, and the raging flames on the blade instantly dissipated. Each of the 128 scales on the blade was now dazzlingly bright, almost transparent, and engraved with mysterious patterns.

this moment,
Lu Canyang's entire temperament had changed. He used to be extremely violent, but now he had become very cold and evil. His body was covered in scales, making him look like a monster. The coldness in his eyes seemed to show him disdain for all living things.

this moment,
He seemed to have really achieved the highest position in the world and felt that it was lonely and lonely.

In the square, Xie Mingzhong and Liu Ruohong were instructing numerous Six Gates detectives to help the wounded away and quickly disperse in all directions.

They both understood.
At this moment, the fish-dragon battle formation was broken, and there was little point in those ordinary detectives from the Six Gates continuing to stay here, as it would only increase casualties. Only three or four top-notch masters from the Six Gates stayed, but they all stood on the periphery.

As the crowd retreated, Zhuo Qingfeng looked everywhere for Gu Chudong, fearing that Gu Chudong would be moved by emotion and want to face the powerful enemy together with Gu Mo.

However, he looked left and right but didn't see Gu Chudong. He was very anxious and pulled over a Six Gates constable and asked, "Have you seen Gu Chudong?"

The constable pointed to the entrance of the Divine Weapon Villa and said, "Captain Zhuo, Miss Gu has been running away for a long time. She ran away before we even set up the Fish-Dragon Battle Formation."

Zhuo Qingfeng looked over and saw Gu Chudong holding the Thousand Machine Box and standing behind the stone lions at the gate. He looked sneaky and ready to run away at any time.

"Uh……"

Zhuo Qingfeng's mouth twitched violently. He seemed to understand why Gu Chudong had been able to follow Gu Mo around without ever influencing him.

This awareness will never do more harm than good.

now,

Gu Chudong hid behind the stone lions, staring closely at the direction of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Just as Zhuo Qingfeng saw, she was ready to run away at any time.

Although the Thousand Machine Box was very powerful, Gu Chudong did not have much confidence in it given the strength Lu Canyang had shown. Moreover, the Thousand Machine Box was a concealed weapon that focused on sneak attacks. Facing a master like Lu Canyang, unless the timing was perfect, there was no chance.

Therefore,
After Gu Mo and others fought with Lu Canyang, she ran away.

She knew very well that with her martial arts skills, she could not get involved in such a battle. On the contrary, if she stayed there, it would likely distract Gu Mo.

As for whether Gu Mo could win, she hadn't considered it. After all, if he won, it wouldn't matter how far away she hid. If he lost, she could just run away and it wouldn't affect Gu Mo at all. If he was killed, it would be even better if she hid far away, so she could escape and seek revenge later when she had enough training. If she stayed where she was, wouldn't she just be waiting to be killed?
This is the experience Gu Chudong summed up while following Gu Mo in the martial arts world.

Help when you can, and if you can't, just make sure you don't make things worse.

……

At this moment, the square had been badly damaged.

Xie Mingzhong climbed up from the ground, holding the heavy mace, and gently wiped the blood off. He looked extremely disheveled, his official robes tattered to shreds. He simply took them off, revealing his strong physique. Although he was already in his sixties, he was still very strong, like an iron tower.

On the other side, Liu Ruohong once again pulled out a few strands of Tiancan silk from his sleeves. Each strand was wrapped with a bone-piercing nail, shining brightly under the firelight.

Gu Mo reached out and sucked the Lingxi sword that was previously stuck in a stone and held it in his hand.

at the same time,

Beside the ruins of the collapsed Divine Weapon Pavilion, Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing slowly stood up.

Qi Miaoxuan quickly took out two pills from his medicine bag and handed them to Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan, saying, "This pill can help you recover to your peak state for half an incense stick of time. Take it easy, or you will overdraw your potential."

After saying that, Qi Miaoxuan spread his legs and ran away.

"Xiaojiu." Lu Canyang suddenly spoke.

Qi Miaoxuan was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He quickly ran to hide behind Gu Mo and said in panic, "Brother... my martial arts skills are not enough to fight you. You fight them first. If you can knock them all down, you can kill me at any time, right? It won't have any effect at all."

Lu Canyang shook his head and said, "I won't kill you. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive now."

Qi Miaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then...Brother, who are you calling me?"

Lu Canyang said calmly: "Just a reminder, don't go too far. After I kill these five masters, you have to come with me and do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Qi Miaoxuan asked.

Lu Canyang said, "Help me restore my appearance. I have great faith in your medical skills. You will definitely be able to find a way to heal my burns. This is your chance to survive. If you dare to run, I will hunt you down, no matter where you go. At worst, I can go to the Moon Worship Sect to find Wei Wuwei. He can also heal my scars. Do you understand?"

Qi Miaoxuan quickly said: "I understand..."

As he spoke, Qi Miaoxuan ran as fast as if he was being chased by a ghost. He soon ran to the gate of Shenbing Villa and saw Zhuo Qingfeng and Gu Chudong lying behind the stone lions. He hurried over.

"Senior Qi," Zhuo Qingfeng said in confusion, "You were a renowned top-tier martial artist forty years ago, the youngest among the Nine Righteousness of Qingzhou. You wouldn't be like this, would you?"

Qi Miaoxuan rolled his eyes and said, "I was young back then. How old am I now? I'm over seventy. It's not like I'm mainly practicing internal energy and I think I'll become more powerful as I get older. I started to decline twenty years ago. Besides, I've been concentrating on studying medicine, and my martial arts skills have long been abandoned."

"That's true." Zhuo Qingfeng asked again, "Then, with all your years of experience in the martial arts world, what do you think are Brother Gu and his men's chances of winning this time?"

Qi Miaoxuan shook his head and said, "The chances of winning are slim. Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing only have half an incense stick of time. Xie Mingzhong and Liu Ruohong are already seriously injured. Only Hero Gu has deep internal energy and is not greatly affected. If Third Brother hadn't died, he would also be a master of internal energy. If he cooperated with Hero Gu, perhaps the chances of winning would be very good."

Gu Chudong frowned and said, "Come to think of it, I find it a bit strange. With Lu Canyang's strength, he could easily defeat Master Dingchan and Master Yuxu alone. Why would he bother to lure Master Dingchan into a fight at the Cliff of Broken Souls? Wouldn't it be more satisfying for him to take revenge himself?"

Zhuo Qingfeng was slightly stunned, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Qi Miaoxuan: "Senior Qi, please tell me everything you know about Lu Canyang and the Qilin Holy Blood!"

……

now,

In the dilapidated square at the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing found weapons in the ruins of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Although they were not as good as the weapons they originally used, the weapons in the Divine Weapon Villa that could be placed in the Divine Weapon Pavilion were extraordinary.

Chu Tianqing weighed the gun in his hand, then nodded slightly.

Ye Jinglan held up a large knife and tossed the pill Qi Miaoxuan had given him into his mouth. He then bowed to Gu Mo, Xie Mingzhong, and Liu Ruohong and said, "Captain Xie, Captain Liu, and Hero Gu, the time we two brothers have left to fight is limited, so let us two lead the charge!"

Gu Mo and the others nodded slightly.

Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing exchanged a glance, and Chu Tianqing also swallowed the pill in one gulp. He chuckled and said, "Brother, remember when you created the Tianwen Sword Technique and I created the Panlong Spear Technique, we both deliberately pursued the fusion of sword and spear. I wonder if your Tianwen Thirteen Swords and my Panlong Thirteen Spears can still be combined now?"

Ye Jinglan chuckled and said, "Just try it and you'll know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jinglan drew his sword. At that moment, the shadow of a blade loomed faintly in the darkness. Instantly, a chilling blade intent rushed towards him, as if to freeze all the warmth in the world. The blade intent was invisible, yet it surged and permeated the air like a substance. Wherever it touched, the air seemed to be cut, emitting a subtle yet sharp sound.

At the same time, Chu Tianqing's spear trembled, its tip flashing with a cold light. The tassel moved violently, unleashing the Thirteen Coiling Dragon Spears, his spear intent crisscrossing. Each thrust was like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying the force of a tidal wave. Wherever the spear tip passed, the air was shattered, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

At this moment, Ye Jinglan's sword intent and Chu Tianqing's gun intent began to merge slowly as if they were blending seamlessly.

The fierce sword intent and the sharp spear intent merged to create an even more powerful, indescribable aura. The surrounding air was squeezed by this momentum, making a dull crackling sound. The sand and gravel on the ground were swept into the air, forming a dust curtain that covered the sky and the sun.

The two of them, wrapped in this combined powerful aura, rushed towards Lu Canyang.

Seeing this, Lu Canyang remained calm, his expression as serene as the abyss. He slashed down with the Gou Chen Demon Sword in his hand. Instantly, tornadoes emerged from the ground, each one carrying endless sand and blade energy, like demons from hell, sweeping towards Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing.

When the tornado collided with the sword and gun, it seemed as if time stood still.

A deafening roar shook the earth, making people's eardrums hurt. A powerful air wave spread out from the collision point, cutting the surrounding trees in half and plowing deep gullies on the ground.

In Lu Canyang's tornado, the sword energy cut like a sharp blade; Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing's combined sword and spear intentions, however, were like an indestructible barrier, resisting stubbornly. For a moment, light shone, and waves of energy surged.

"Do it!"

At that moment, Xie Mingzhong and Liu Ruohong attacked quickly, neither of them holding back at all, their attacks were killing moves, releasing the true meaning of their martial arts to the extreme.

"Zheng——"

Gu Mo followed closely behind, his Lingxi sword emitting a clear cry that sliced ​​through the air. With a tap of his toes, his figure moved like lightning, darting several feet across the sky in an instant. The longsword in his hand swung out a stream of sword flowers, like twinkling stars.

Five great masters of the martial arts world besieged Lu Canyang from five directions.

Ye Jinglan's sword intent was wrapped in broken snow, Chu Tianqing's spear tip picked up the freezing rain, Xie Mingzhong's heavy mace cut through the air, Liu Ruohong's Tiancan silk scattered bone-piercing nails all over the sky, and Gu Mo's Lingxi sword drew a waterfall-like trajectory.

To their surprise, Lu Canyang did not dodge and allowed the five of them to hit him. At that moment, the scales on Lu Canyang's body glowed with a cold bronze light, and every piece of armor was emitting dark red mist.

There was a series of explosions, as dense as frying beans. Lu Canyang stood firm, his bronze scales gleaming brightly. The weapons clashed with them, sparking a dazzling fire, as brilliant as fireworks.

When the light faded, there was not even a scratch on Lu Canyang's scales, as if what was hit was not a flesh and blood body, but an indestructible Vajra statue. Seeing this, the five people all looked horrified.

"That's it!"

Lu Canyang suddenly roared, shaking the whole area.

With a wave of the Gou Chen Demon Sword in his hand, he easily cut off Ye Jinglan's sword and Chu Tianqing's gun. The Gou Chen Demon Sword burst out with a majestic flaming sword energy, slashing at the chests of Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing.

In an instant, the two men vomited blood and flew backwards.

At the same time, Lu Canyang clenched his right fist and punched Xie Mingzhong's heavy mace, bending the mace weighing more than 100 pounds and hitting Xie Mingzhong's chest. There was only a "crackling" sound of bones breaking, and Xie Mingzhong was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, rolling on the ground.

Gu Mo and Liu Ruohong were behind Lu Canyang, and when they saw this, they hurriedly retreated.

However, Lu Canyang was even faster. With a slight shake of his hand, the Gou Chen Demon Sword instantly turned into 128 pieces, just like a dazzling meteor shower suddenly exploding in the summer night sky. With unparalleled momentum, it circled behind him in an extremely graceful yet deadly arc, and rushed straight towards Gu Mo and Liu Ruohong.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Ruohong's face changed suddenly. He immediately waved his sleeves to urge out the Tiancan silk, and in the blink of an eye, he had woven an airtight shield in front of him.

However, the fragments of the Gou Chen Demon Sword were extremely sharp. With just a slight touch, the Tiancan Silk Shield was easily cut through like thin paper.

Liu Ruohong didn't dare delay even a moment. He displayed his supreme Qing Gong skills, his body moving like lightning as he dodged and dodged amidst the flashes of swords and sabers. However, despite his speed, he was no match for the speed of the fragments. In the blink of an eye, countless bloody holes pierced his body, and blood splattered everywhere. He fell straight to the ground, breathless.

At the same time, half of the fragments were aimed at Gu Mo. He swung the Lingxi Sword in his hand quickly while fighting and retreating. For a moment, the sword light was radiant and impenetrable. At the same time, the sword energy of the three Six Meridians Divine Swords in his right hand burst out and turned into a sword formation, colliding with the fragments of the Gou Chen Demon Sword that were coming like rain, making a continuous clanging sound.

However, the fragments of the Gou Chen Demon Sword were too sharp and powerful. In just a moment, the famous Lingxi Sword was cut into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.

When Gu Mo knocked down the last fragment of the Gou Chen Demon Sword,

The Lingxi sword in his hand was less than a foot long.

In the next moment, the fragments of the Gou Chen Demon Sword drew strange arcs in the air, and returned like a tired bird returning to its nest. In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a sword again and appeared steadily in Lu Canyang's hand.

at this time,

The square was completely silent. Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing struggled on the ground but couldn't get up. They had hoped to hold out for half an incense stick, but now it was just a brief encounter. Liu Ruohong, one of the two chief detectives of the Six Gates, was already dead, and Xie Mingzhong lay on the ground, his life or death unknown.

The Six Gates detectives who had already retreated all looked nervous and began to gather again.

Lu Canyang pointed his sword at Gu Mo and said, "Gu Mo, I was right. Your strength could have put you in the top five in the world. It's a pity that you died young. If I had given you another ten years, no, five years, I wouldn't be able to keep my position as the world's number one. It's just... what a pity!"

Gu Mo threw away the broken Lingxi sword in his hand and stretched out his hand. The next moment, Gu Chudong, who was hiding in the distance, tacitly threw out the famous Qiu Shui sword, which flew into Gu Mo's hand.

"Master Lu, you are indeed the most powerful enemy I have ever encountered, but it is too early for you to think that you can kill me." Gu Mo held the Qiu Shui Sword and said slowly.

Lu Canyang sneered and said, "I haven't tried my best yet!"

"But I haven't tried my best!" Gu Mo said in a deep voice.

"Lu Canyang!"

Suddenly, at this moment,
Zhuo Qingfeng ran over from the entrance of Shenbing Villa and shouted, "Look what this is?"

Before he finished speaking,

Zhuo Qingfeng threw out a lustrous bead, which was the ancient Buddha relic left by Master Dingchan.

In an instant, the relics exploded in the air, and the dazzling light was like the scorching sun, so bright that people could not open their eyes.

Then, clouds of dust spread out. Strangely, these dust particles converged and intertwined, like a vast galaxy stretching between heaven and earth, with brilliant stars twinkling within. In a trance, a majestic and towering Buddhist kingdom loomed, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, and auspicious clouds swirling around it.

At the same time, waves of Buddhist chanting drifted in, a peaceful, melodious sound that seemed to have traveled through millennia, carrying with it boundless compassion. Hearing the Buddhist chanting, those around them felt a sense of inner peace, as if all things in the world were cleansed of their impurities, becoming pure, flawless, beautiful, and peaceful.

But Lu Canyang's expression suddenly changed. The bronze scales on his body began to disappear, making a rustling sound, and retreated into his skin. His original burning skin reappeared, and the blood in his body that was originally surging like a rushing river was now as if cast under a spell and died down in an instant.

Even the Gou Chen Demon Sword, which had always been full of violence and restlessness, became extremely quiet at this moment. The billowing flames on the blade slowly dissipated, and the violence subsided.

Zhuo Qingfeng roared, "Lu Canyang, even if you've been a ditch rat for forty years, you still lost to Master Dingchan. You're afraid of Master Dingchan like a mouse is afraid of a cat. And you still want to be number one in the world? Screw you, number one in the world!"

"Shut up!"

Lu Canyang seemed to have his thoughts exposed by Zhuo Qingfeng, and his defense was broken. He roared, "I have never been afraid of him. Who is Gu Huatong? I have never been afraid of him. He can't compare to me. He can't compare to me in any way.

What do you know? What do you mortals know? Even without the Qilin's divine power and this Gou Chen Demon Sword, I'm still number one in the world!"
