Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 158 The Sword of Buddha's Salvation: The Tragedy of Gulin
Jing Qian watched the struggle between the Three Poisons and the Ghost Phoenix, his Three Lives Eyes frantically deducing the ghost monk's abilities, preparing to make his move.

Although Ghost Phoenix was also raised to the second rank, it was no match for Three Poisons.

Jing Qian saw clearly that this ghost monk, who embodied the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, had not used his true abilities.

【San Du】, who comes from the 【Yanfu Dao】 lineage of death, is currently acting like a laborer, exchanging magical energy with 【Gui Feng】.

There was no indication whatsoever that he used curses, treachery, or other forms of sorcery.

In Jing Qian's eyes, if he was the eagle soaring high in the sky, then the Three Poisons were a venomous snake coiled into a snake formation.

While he was plotting how to strike from the sky and kill with one blow, [Three Poisons] was also waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal poisonous bite to himself.

However, in the past, Jing Qian would have carefully considered how to deal with this ghost Buddha to avoid getting tainted by something unclean.

But right now, he's not fighting alone.

He took out three crisp bamboo leaves and gently tore them into pieces.

Three sword energies burst forth!

One turned into rain, one into smoke, and one into fog.

These three sword energies, separating into solid, liquid, and gas states, completely enveloped the [Three Poisons].

These are the three full-force sword strikes of the previous generation [Chunyangzi] Zhuyun!

He had been standing at the second-rank gate for thousands of years, and had killed countless Buddhist, Taoist, demonic, and monster people. His title of "Pure Yang" had long been honed to the upper rank.

Slaying a [Three Poisons] Demon Buddha is a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, the encirclement formed by these three sword energies is extremely tight, capable of easily annihilating all matter and magical power.

No matter what kind of deadly secret technique the Three Poisons prepared, even the most difficult-to-defend memetic poison, karmic curse, or resentment, it would all turn to ashes under the Bamboo Cloud Sword.

Even while locked in combat, Jing Qian had no intention of releasing the Ghost Phoenix, planning instead to kill it as well.

Before the war began, the Ghost Phoenix had already left its flesh and spirit in the Corpse Mountain and the Wheel of Reincarnation.

These kinds of ghosts can be resurrected after death using the secret methods of the [Exorcism] lineage. No matter what kind of dark methods the [Three Poisons] secretly planted on the [Ghost Phoenix], they can all be completely eliminated between life and death.

Jing Qian's eyes flashed with cold light as he stared intently at the heart of the battle with his Three Lives Eyes, watching as Ghost Phoenix was shredded into dust amidst the sword light.

Zhu Yun's three sword energies remained unharmed and swept towards the Three Poisons.

Then look at that three-headed demon Buddha, its six Buddha eyes fixed on Jing Qian beyond the sword light.

His eyes were wide with fury, as fierce as a diamond!

A pair of eyes filled with intense longing and resentment, as red as an apricot or as white as a peach!

A pair of burning greedy eyes, hooked into the very bones!

Jing Qian showed no fear, meeting the gazes of the nine men. The Worldly Understanding within the Three Lives Eye fluctuated violently as they sensed the shared aura emanating from each other.

It seemed that the Three Poisons also foresaw their own death, and actually stopped using their magic power, quietly waiting for Zhu Yun's sword light to reach them.

Before long, this terrifying ghost Buddha was also shredded into extremely fine particles and annihilated on the spot.

But Jingqian still didn't let his guard down at all!
The victory was too easy; the Three Poisons showed no desire or means of resistance, which was completely abnormal.

Jing Qian was frantically searching for the opponent's backup plan!

Just then, among the corpses of the Three Poisons, a Worldly Solution Destiny quietly appeared and flew towards Jing Qian.

Relying on the resonance within the Three Lives Eye, this Worldly Enlightenment did not return to the Sea of ​​Spiritual Life and Emptiness, but instead met with two other Worldly Enlightenment destiny pieces to jointly achieve the Destiny of Heaven.

But in Jingqian's heart, alarm bells were already ringing loudly!

Facing the incoming [Worldly Liberator], he did not receive it, but instead unleashed a sword light without hesitation, shooting straight at the [Worldly Liberator].

But then, a thick plume of black smoke billowed out from the [Destiny], revealing that the [Three Poisons] had indeed planted poisonous curses on the [Destiny]!
Jing Qian's figure flashed and disappeared from the real world, returning to the [Virtual Realm]. He attempted to use the barrier of spatial dimensions to intercept the poison of the [Three Poisons].

But this was completely useless!

The Three Poisons Demon Buddha exhausted all the immortal spiritual energy it had accumulated over thousands of years, condensing it into an extremely strange Buddha poison!
This poison is exceptionally potent; contact with it is certain death. Most importantly, it is connected to the three [Worldly Explanation] destiny numbers and is heading towards Jing Qian!

The connection between different destinies is the most fundamental rule governing the operation of the Great Dao, and cannot be obstructed by conventional means.

And the Three Poisons truly lived up to his reputation as a second-rank master who had cultivated the methods of the Death Infusion lineage to their utmost.

The method of casting the curse was extremely subtle and ingenious; even Jing Qian couldn't help but applaud it!

The fierce [Buddha Poison] surged forth, but Jing Qian remained calm and began to use the methods he had prepared in advance.

He and the Three Poisons had long sensed each other. Now that he knew the other was a powerful figure who had passed the Death Prophecy, how could he, as the current leader of the Yanfu Dao, not take any action?

He had already thoroughly studied the secret methods of the [Death-Binding] lineage in the "Yambhava Cave of the Underworld Reincarnation Dao Book" and had his own methods for dealing with it.

When the [Buddha Poison] struck, he shifted his consciousness and arrived in front of the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele]. Then, he reached out and gently tapped the [Three Lives Eye], and his [Worldly Understanding] destiny was captured.

Then, he tossed the "Worldly Explanation" onto the "Sumeru Great Way Stele" and ignored it.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned the Wheel of Reincarnation in the Void Realm, turned it upside down, and a magnificent Mountain of Corpses quietly appeared in the light of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

On the [Mountain of Corpses], the three thousand ghost geniuses had just returned from their vacation from the management and development of [Shattered Stars], and for a time they called on their friends and relatives, making quite a scene.

Looking at these evil spirits, they all seem to have borrowed a [Worldly Release]!
In an instant, three thousand [Worldly Enlightenment] beings shone like stars, illuminating the entire [Void Realm].

The Buddha Poison, which followed the connection to the [Destiny], could not resist such a three-thousand-fold attraction and directly changed direction, rushing towards the [Mountain of Corpses].

The three thousand geniuses became the first wave of victims of the "Buddha Poison," almost dying upon contact, like leeks being harvested under a quantified sickle.

However, with the blessing of the [Mountain of Corpses] and the [Reincarnation Wheel], the geniuses are resurrected the moment they die, as if fresh leeks are growing one after another.

Jing Qian used his supernatural abilities to wage a war of attrition against the [Buddha Poison]!

These geniuses, resurrected from the dead, are like the white blood cells in his body, tirelessly rushing towards the [Buddha Poison], expending their own lives to weaken the enemy's power.

At this moment, the [Buddha Poison] seemed like a strange rain, beginning to fall upon the [Mountain of Corpses].

Meanwhile, the divine manifestation of the Three Poisons also landed on the Corpse Mountain, and under the divine blessing of the Corpse Mountain, it manifested in human form.

He originally intended to poison Jing Qian, then take down all of his "Worldly Understanding" skills, and then be resurrected. However, he did not expect to fall into the other party's trap first.

Suddenly, Jing Qian shouted:
"Fellow Daoist San Du, aren't you leaving yet? Or are you going to become my 'Death Ghost'?"

The Three Poisons, who appeared incarnate on the Mountain of Corpses, did not give up struggling. Under his control, the rain of Buddha Poison raged across the Mountain of Corpses.

However, the resurrection of these geniuses was completely unaffected, seemingly endless, and they frantically consumed the power of the [Buddha Poison].

The "Buddha Poison" has actually begun to be suppressed!

Gradually, the area affected by the [Buddha Poison] rain was compressed, and the coverage area was less than half of [Corpse Mountain].

Not only that, the soul avatar of [Three Poisons] is also being slowly eroded by the power of [Mountain of Corpses].

In the confrontation between the two, Jing Qian, who was better prepared, clearly had the upper hand.

When the Three Poisons failed to follow their strategy and use the Fate Connection to poison Jing Qian's true form, he had already severed any possibility of victory.

This whole ordeal is nothing but a futile struggle.

Jing Qian unleashed his full power, pushing the power of the [Corpse Mountain] to its limit, and began to erode the [Three Poisons] divine soul avatar.

If we can suppress this giant Buddha statue, that would be an incredibly valuable gain.

Just then, [Three Poisons] suddenly gave up struggling, stopped controlling [Buddha Poison], and instead bowed to Jing Qian, saying:
"Daozi's magical power is far superior to mine. I will give the [Worldly Explanation] to Daozi. We shall meet again someday."

He was extremely decisive, directly disintegrating his entire divine soul, leaving only a wisp of true spirit, which he then cast onto the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

There, he will use his [Life Stele] to slowly accumulate [Immortal Spiritual Energy] and be reborn.

However, the Three Poisons' actions were motivated by a desire to harm others without benefiting themselves.

He used the power of his own disintegrating avatar to unleash all the [Buddha Poison], covering the entire [Mountain of Corpses].

With the blessing of the power of the Three Poisons Divine Soul, the entire area of ​​Buddha Poison surged dramatically, almost doubling in size.

In that instant, all three thousand geniuses died instantly, and for the first time, the [Buddha Poison] suppressed the [Mountain of Corpses]'s divine power.

Jing Qian remained calm. He sat cross-legged directly above the Reincarnation Disc and activated the secret technique of the Yama Path that he had already mastered.

This is the fundamental method of the [Death Prediction] lineage, using this extremely powerful [Buddha Poison] to forge a new [Destiny].

Moreover, the poison transformed from the Three Poisons is of extremely high rank, making it a second-grade potent poison that is very difficult to replicate.

It is a precious Dao treasure that is unique among all Dao treasures.

Do not underestimate this "uniqueness". In the myriad realms, there are countless beings. No matter how rare a cultivation method is, with such a large number of people, there will always be fellow practitioners.

The fact that one can cultivate a "unique" existence indicates that one has truly comprehended a unique Daoist essence.

If this kind of Daoist essence is used to refine one's [Destiny], there is a chance that one will directly achieve [Heavenly Mandate].

Only unique treasures can be used to refine [Destiny]. If ordinary materials are used in large quantities and do not possess "uniqueness", they can only be used to refine low-level [Destiny].

Looking back on Jing Qian's early life, all his "destiny" came from the miraculous power of the "Sumeru Great Dao Stele." He had never encountered a Dao treasure with "uniqueness," which shows how rare it was.

This time, he extracted a unique and potent poison from the Three Poisons, which was his lucky break.

Under the secret techniques of the [Yanfu Dao], a [Destiny] of the [Death-Borrowing] lineage was quietly born:

[Destiny: Buddha's Salvation]

[Position: Destiny]

The Buddha guides those with affinity, seeking enlightenment within the world, just as one might search for a rabbit's horn.

At this point, he also possessed the magical foundation of the [Yanfu Dao] lineage of the Death-Binding School.

As soon as the "Buddha's Salvation" was completed, the poisonous rain and clouds above the "Corpse Mountain" suddenly condensed and transformed into a stick of incense, which Jing Qian inhaled in one gulp.

He gushed through his lungs, and miraculously, a toxin-producing organ evolved within them.

From then on, the [Buddha Poison] became his irreplaceable killing weapon. Even if the [Three Poisons] were reborn and he were to cultivate it again, he would not be able to replicate the current wisp of [Buddha Poison].

Immediately afterwards, the [Buddha Poison] dissipated, and the [Worldly Understanding] hidden within it was completely released, allowing Jing Qian to raise his hand and strike directly into the [Three Lives Eye] between his eyebrows.

He has achieved another [Destiny] level!
The influence of the Great Perfection of the World-Knowledge (Lokayāna) far surpasses that of the Buddha-Salvation (Buddha-Salvation). As the core of his wisdom, the World-Knowledge has long been responsible for digesting knowledge, processing information, and storing memories.

It can be described as Jingqian's portable computer, portable chip, and Deep Blue, holding a very unique position.

The improvement of his understanding of the world gave Jingqian a feeling of great enlightenment, awakening, and wisdom, which is extremely difficult to describe.

The resulting increase in the power of the [Three Lives Eye] is merely an added bonus.

Having acquired the Three Poisons Ghost Buddha, Jing Qian has once again experienced a significant boost in strength and resources!
In his mind, [San Du] was also a big brother with extremely strong spending power, and his status soared.

Having just acquired two [Heavenly Mandates] and at his peak, Jing Qian leaped out of the [Virtual Realm] and returned to the mortal world. Before he could even regain his footing, two invisible sword energies had already pierced towards [Blood River] and [Gu Lin].

The two enemies, locked in fierce combat, had no chance to escape such insidious sword energy and were struck by the sword.

However, both powerful beings possessed profound knowledge and their sword energy was so weak that it couldn't even scratch the surface of the skin.

However, the [Buddha's Salvation] attached to this sword energy was like a tiger unleashed from its cage, instantly raging through the bodies of the two.

[Gu Lin] and [Xue He] have visibly bluish complexions, purple lips, and blackish whites of their eyes.

This "Buddha's Salvation" is no ordinary poison; it is the only top-tier poison in the void. Apart from Jing Qian, there is no other way to detoxify it. Even though the two enemies opposite him are deeply powerful, they cannot easily neutralize it.

His movements are like a ghost, his sword energy is invisible, he targets weaknesses, and he is enchanted with potent poison!
Jing Qian has taken the path of the swordsman assassin to its extreme!
And so, he stood outside the battlefield, his Three Lives Eyes striking wherever he aimed, unleashing countless invisible and intangible Swords of Buddha's Salvation. His mana consumption didn't increase much, but his killing power increased unimaginably.

Looking at his enemies, Gu Lin was in a better position, having temporarily withstood the poison thanks to his strong physique, while Xue He was in a severely weakened state.

It can be said that after the "Buddha's Salvation" was formed, Jing Qian gained an important conventional weapon.

In future battles, anyone who isn't edible, or even a good eater, will inevitably have to taste the saltiness of his [Buddha's Salvation].

The combination of the secret techniques of [Yanfu Dao] and [Chunyang Tian] further enhanced Jing Qian's offensive power.

For Jing Qian, killing the Three Poisons first and then fighting the Blood River was the established strategy.

With this significant improvement, he is now much more confident in defeating [Blood River].

This is because all of Blood River's successful disciples and grand-disciples had lived in Jing Qian's head for quite some time, and he knew all the information about Blood River himself and all the secret techniques passed down in the Blood River Sect.

Looking at the enemy again this time, I felt quite affectionate.

The secret techniques of the Blood River Sect originated from a miraculous event in the Blood Sea within the meat feast lineage of the Yanfu Dao.

This extraordinary phenomenon, the Blood Sea, originated from a fallen first-rank Yanfu disciple of the Yanfu Sect, whose legacy has been passed down within the sect for many years.

It wasn't until three thousand years ago, when the entire clan collapsed, that he was abducted by the Blood River, which became the foundation for his enlightenment.

The [Sea of ​​Blood] and the [Mountain of Corpses] are of equal status and fit together perfectly, so they should be taken into Jing Qian's possession!
Above the Blood River, the Corpse Mountain quietly appeared, and a beam of pure light shone from the Reincarnation Disc, shooting directly at the Blood River.

At the same time, Ao Hua launched a reckless and frenzied attack, transforming into a thousand-foot-long dragon shadow that completely surrounded the Blood River.

Just then, a massive crimson ocean appeared directly above the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm].

This ocean is extremely vast, almost one-tenth the size of the vast sea.

Soaked in the [Sea of ​​Blood] are the souls of millions of cultivators gathered by the [River of Blood], which spans infinite distances and traverses countless outer realms.

This [Sea of ​​Blood] is a first-class place for nourishing the soul. The more souls that soak into it, the stronger they become, and the stronger the [Sea of ​​Blood]'s magic power and the larger its area.

The souls within transformed into terrifying [Blood God Spawns], swarming up like poisonous mosquitoes bursting from their nest.

Anyone else, faced with such a wondrous "sea of ​​blood," would immediately be engulfed by an overwhelming ocean of "blood god children."

But Jing Qian is the leader of the Yanfu Dao sect. If the Blood River dares to use the Blood Sea to make things difficult for him, they are simply asking for trouble.

Jing Qian manifested the form of a sage, and within the six realms of reincarnation, the title and inscription of "Son of Jambudvipa" appeared.

Then, he made a secret incantation of the [Yanfu] and pointed it at the [Sea of ​​Blood]. The title talisman of the [Son of Yanfu] was instantly imprinted on it, completely suppressing the entire [Sea of ​​Blood].

This was a secret technique he obtained from the snake spirit in the Ghost Origin Palace. By using the back door of the Yama Path opened in the Blood Sea, he directly severed the Blood River's control over this divine phenomenon.

Immediately, the [Reincarnation Disc] flashed with clear light, illuminating the entire [Sea of ​​Blood] and the [Mountain of Corpses]. The three thousand ghost talents were arranged neatly, each setting up a table, adopting the posture of seriously proctoring an exam and conducting a serious interview.

Then, the group of [Blood God's Sons] swarmed in, forming a long line of three thousand, and began to undergo the intelligence test of the three thousand geniuses.

Clever ghosts climb the [Mountain of Corpses] to enjoy the blessings of cattle and horses; foolish ghosts ascend the [Reincarnation Wheel] to be reborn in happiness.

We all have a bright future!
Looking at Jing Qian, he had already joined forces with Ao Hua and was locked in battle with [Blood River].

His [Immortal Sword Embryo] combined with [Buddha's Salvation] reached a new level of power, and the sword light he casually unleashed could put immense pressure on [Blood River].

In his hand, he tightly gripped two crisp bamboo leaves, waiting for the opportune moment to slay [Blood River] with a single sword strike.
[Blood River] felt that he was restricted at every turn. No matter how he performed, he could not escape the enemy's prediction and was always easily countered by the enemy.

It should be noted that half of the cultivation and magical power of [Blood River] is superior to that of [Blood Sea].

The million Blood God Children within him are his most important foundation for cultivation.

However, what Jing Qian is doing now is using his authority and supernatural powers to remove the Blood River's control over the Blood Sea and weaken its magical power.

As this process continues, it won't be long before the strength of [Blood River] is weakened to the level of [Wordless Stele].

As for Jing Qian, this [Blood Sea] deity is not beyond his control. After a process of elimination, the most essential part of the [Blood God Child] inside will remain and belong to him.

If his cultivation level weren't insufficient, and the [Mountain of Corpses] and [Sea of ​​Blood] weren't unable to bear too many ghosts, he wouldn't have wasted so much of these million [Blood God Children].

The battle took a sharp turn for the worse. [San Du] died first, and [Xue He] was about to follow suit.

The whole process seemed effortless, but it was actually the full-scale unleashing of Jing Qian's trump cards, which he had been preparing for an unknown period of time.

He schemed against the Three Poisons and the Sea of ​​Blood, using almost all his strength and leveraging every available external force.

Conversely, these two second-rank powerhouses never took this newly promoted [Yanfuzi] seriously.
Their concern was how to resolve the karmic consequences after destroying [Yanfu Dao] and [Chunyang Tian], which is why they sought help from [Gulin].

Little did they know that this Jingqian, which grew from the ruins of the two great Dao veins, was not a worthless foxtail grass, but a beautiful dahlia that would prey on anyone who dared to bite it.

In just over an hour, the Blood God Child in the Blood Sea was completely wiped out. Jing Qian pushed the number of his geniuses to ten thousand, which was the upper limit he could handle.

The magical power of the [Exorcism] lineage was also increased to four times.

Then, the [Blood River] was so wondrous that it entered his sea of ​​consciousness and completely enveloped his soul.

In an instant, Jing Qian felt a warm and comfortable sensation emerge.

This is both a blessing and a protection!
At this point, [Blood River] had been almost completely drained of its value, and then, beneath a patch of bamboo cloud and sword leaves, it met a miserable end!

Jing Qian stood high in the sky and let out a long breath.

He finally broke the two swords that had been hanging over his head for many years.

For him, this was already a successful "breakthrough".

If it weren't for Gu Lin's interference, he would experience a period of rapid growth in strength in the near future.

Not counting the gains he extracted from the Three Poisons and Blood River, he also seized nearly a thousand years of lifespan from these two powerful beings, which is enough to trigger another [Shaping of Wisdom Source].

With a flash, he landed at the edge of the battlefield between [Good Corn] and [Gu Lin].

This battle between top-tier experts is still undecided, but it is foreseeable that [Good Corn] is rapidly declining.

The capacity of [Immortal Qi] is ultimately limited. Being able to withstand the continuous attacks of [Gulin] already shows that [Good Corn] is resilient.

Even though Gu Lin was poisoned and his face was as blue as a cucumber, his fist energy still swept across the area.

【Good Corn】possesses immense magical power, yet cannot fully utilize it, only mechanically generating countless roots that entangle with 【Gulin】.

In this way, although it can trap [Gulin], it can hardly cause any effective damage.

In this world of cultivation, having a high rank and cultivation level is utterly useless; one can only become a bloated punching bag.

A complete system is the core of supporting combat power.

In this respect, every Dao Child-level being is impeccable.

Jing Qian, watching Gu Lin deliver a brutal and visceral beating to the first-rank Hao Yumi, felt quite admiring.

The Western Paradise’s Tuotuo Mountain, from which Gu Lin originated, is a powerful demon force whose status is second only to Tianlong Plain.

The ancient clan within it is sparsely populated and possesses a unique bloodline, so much so that no one knows its true nature.

However, whenever a bloodline saint child of the Gu clan is born, the Gu child always amazes the world.

Every member of the Gu clan is at the Daozi level, possessing extremely fierce combat power. In the same Western Mang Longtian, they often crush their peers, the Tianlongzi.

He is not afraid of other Daoist disciples, and his win rate has always been above 60% over the years.

However, three thousand three hundred years ago, two members of the ancient clan of Tuotuo Mountain perished in the Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Heaven, being killed by Wuyan and Yuanyang respectively, thus forging a deadly enmity with Chunyang and Yanfu.

This led to the subsequent events where Gu Lin crossed over from another realm and destroyed the Yingfu Pagoda Realm three thousand years ago.

Now, he is personally taking action, determined to annihilate the remaining lineages of [Yanfu Dao] and [Chunyang Tian].

Even though it was initially intimidated by Jing Qian, it still managed to weather the storm thanks to its superior strength.

Although the deaths of Blood River and Three Poisons were somewhat unexpected, they were still a result of his predictions.

But Gu Lin believed in his fists more than in immortals, Buddhas, or gods!

All the obstacles he faced were simply smashed away with a single punch!
[Gulin] became increasingly immersed in the battle, fully enjoying his highly rhythmic boxing, like waves crashing against the shore.

He has transformed his physical body into an extremely powerful treasure.

Even a regular second-grade [Spiritual Ability] would have difficulty penetrating his defenses.

As he continued his attacks, the [Buddha's Salvation] within his body was slowly expelled along with the circulation of his physical body.

This Gu Zi, who achieved sainthood in the physical body, followed a completely opposite path to Jing Qian.

The wilder and more wicked Jing Qian was, the more righteous and hardened his opponent was.

Jing Qian has come to realize that he is no match for Gu Lin.

If he were relying solely on his own strength, he could have packed his belongings and run away by now.

But once this "Broken Tribulation" situation begins, both he and the opposing "Gu Lin" are already involved.

He didn't think about escaping, and he didn't even care that [Good Corn] was about to be completely defeated.

He was simply waiting silently for the right moment to arrive.

The old white ox suddenly appeared, nudged him, and handed him two petals of the [Sword Lotus].

The old ox also managed to get a mouthful of porridge, but after swallowing it, its breathing barely changed; it still looked half-dead.

After delivering the flower petals, it did not leave immediately, but instead carried Mojian Cliff on its back and waited side by side with Jing Qian.

The man and the ox waited together until a certain moment when a sudden change occurred in the [Demon Ancient Lin Realm], and the aura of the [Ancient Lin] before them suddenly became chaotic.

Without hesitation, Jing Qian tore off a petal in his hand, and an extremely fierce sword aura burst forth from it.

This sword energy, as green as bamboo leaves, possessed unimaginable power, almost comparable to the sword energy of Ren Chong that Jing Qian once hid in the sword ring.

It moved like lightning, slashing straight towards Gulin.

The arrogant and overconfident prodigy, Gu Zi, was annihilated by this sword energy in a single strike, ending his life instantly.
