Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The thought had just flashed through the old man's mind.

The next instant, a muffled sound came from Gu Changjin's body, like a primordial beast that had been sleeping for countless years opening its eyes at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A surge of powerful energy erupted from Gu Changjin's body, a pure and almost savage physical strength bursting forth.

The gray-robed old man's expression changed instantly, and he immediately understood.

"A body cultivator?! You're actually a body cultivator!"

He finally understood why, when he sensed the power of the cave, Gu Changjin appeared in front of him.

That fluctuation from the cave was deliberately released to disrupt perception.

The real killer move is this punch!

Before the gray-robed elder could think further, his late-stage Void Returning Realm cultivation cavern instantly unfolded.

A vast, illusory landscape appeared before him, and several protective spiritual lights shone from his body.

However, Gu Changjin's physical body has already reached the limit of returning to the void, and he has also devoured the bloodline origin of the Crimson Jade Glazed True Dragon.

Even those in the early stages of the Fusion Realm might not dare to stand and take the punch head-on.

What's more, he's just a mere late-stage Void Returner?

The fist landed.

boom!

The mountain and river cave in front of the gray-robed old man trembled violently, and then it burst open from the middle, shattering several protective spiritual lights one after another.

He didn't even have time to scream before the left half of his body exploded into a bloody mist under the fist.

Blood splattered across the sky, leaving only the right half of his body enveloped by a suddenly brightening azure talisman light, forcibly escaping a hundred feet from under the fist.

That was a life-saving ancient talisman at the combined level.

Without this item, he would have been dead from that punch.

The old man in gray was left with only half of his body hanging in mid-air. His face no longer held the previous coldness and arrogance, but only fear.

But Gu Changjin had already raised his hand again.

The second punch is coming.

All of this happened too fast.

It wasn't until this moment that the people around finally realized what was happening.

"It's actually a dual cultivation of body and magic!!"

"Moreover, his physical body has at least reached the late stage of the Returning to Emptiness realm!"

"No wonder he dared to take action directly!"

The eyes of the few Void Returning cultivators who had been fanning the flames earlier changed.

Some were shocked, while others were secretly relieved.

Fortunately, the Anhai King and his grandson jumped out first.

Otherwise, who would have thought that this white-haired old man, whose aura appeared to be only at the early stage of the Void Returning Realm, actually possessed such a terrifying physical body?

But soon, some people started to sneer.

"His strength is not weak, but unfortunately his brain is not very good. Private fights are strictly prohibited in Xuandu Taiyi City."

"The deacon had already invited them to the sparring platform, yet he dared to kill someone right in front of the deacon."

"Isn't this a slap in the face to the Xuandu Taiyi Sect?"

"What's the point of cultivating both body and techniques?"

"This is the Xuandu Taiyi Sect, the top of the ten major sects!!"

"With such reckless behavior, they probably won't be able to leave this Dao City today."

Many people showed signs of agreement.

They acknowledged that Gu Changjin was strong.

But how could a rogue cultivator of unknown origin possibly be stronger than the Xuandu Taiyi Sect?

The green-robed steward who had spoken earlier turned ashen-faced.

He originally wanted the two of them to go up to the sparring platform.

Let's take a look at their abilities.

On the other hand, it also reduces the number of competitors in this selection of guest advisors.

Who would have thought that Gu Changjin would completely disregard his plans?

To make a move in front of so many people.

If he were to actually kill the old man in gray, where would he, as the deacon responsible for maintaining order, put his face?

If the sect investigates later, he will inevitably be punished.

"Where did this madman come from!"

"How dare you kill people indiscriminately in my Xuandu Taiyi Dao City!"

"Stop right there!"

The green-robed steward roared, unleashing his late-stage Void Returning Realm aura, and the cave behind him unfolded.

A vast expanse of purple energy descended, condensing into a gigantic Taiyi Dharma Hand, which reached down to grab Gu Changjin's head.

The green-robed deacon's eyes were filled with coldness.

In his view, the reason why Gu Changjin was able to severely injure the gray-robed elder with one punch was simply because he concealed his identity as a body cultivator and then suddenly launched a close-range sneak attack.

A true head-on confrontation.

He cultivates the direct lineage technique of the Xuandu Taiyi Sect.

Whether it's magical power, supernatural abilities, or ancient treasures, they are far superior to those rogue cultivators outside the ten major sects.

Moreover, I had already taken precautions.

How could I possibly get close again?

The next moment, Gu Changjin turned his head.

He just casually slapped her, like swatting a fly.

But the descending Taiyi Dharma Hand, as if made of paper, exploded in mid-air.

The green-robed deacon's pupils contracted sharply.

"you……"

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the square.

Gu Changjin's hand slapped him squarely across the face.

The green-robed deacon's face instantly contorted, and his teeth flew out mixed with blood.

His body spun and flew horizontally, smashing through several trial platforms along the way, before finally crashing into a bronze hall in the distance.

boom!

The walls of the main hall collapsed, burying the green-robed deacon in the ruins, his protective Taoist robe completely shattered.

The cave had cracked open with several huge fissures. Although he was not dead, he was seriously injured.

The entire square fell silent.

Everyone looked at Gu Changjin as if he were a madman.

It wasn't enough that they defeated the Void Returner who participated in the Guest Elder selection!

They even dared to hit a deacon from the Xuandu Taiyi Sect?!

The gray-robed old man, who only had half a body left, was also dumbfounded.

However, his fear soon turned into resentment.

Gu Changjin was indeed stronger than he had expected, but the more reckless he was, the faster he would die.

This is the main sect of the Xuandu Taiyi Sect!

This recruitment of guest elders is being overseen by a high-ranking elder.

That elder was someone with whom the Great Ning Ancient Dynasty's Combined Ancestor had established a connection.

The price that Da Ning Ancient Dynasty paid to persuade the other party to take care of them and their grandson was not small.

Gu Changjin's beating of the green-robed steward into serious injury was no longer a simple personal grudge, but a provocation against the entire Xuandu Taiyi Sect!

"You're dead."

As the gray-robed elder channeled his magic to restore his physical body, he glared venomously at Gu Changjin.

"Dare to injure people in Xuandu Taiyi City."

"No one can save you today!"

He had barely finished speaking.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An overwhelming pressure, far surpassing that of the Void Returning Realm, suddenly descended from the depths of the Xuandu Taiyi Sect.

The entire plaza instantly froze, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed unable to flow.

Countless cultivators felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, and those with weaker cultivation levels even knelt down on the ground.

"A Nascent Soul stage expert!!"

"It's the Integration Stage Elder from the Xuandu Taiyi Sect who's in charge this time!!"

"That madman is finished!! Indeed, one should not be too arrogant."

The onlookers were deeply moved.

In the void, an old man dressed in a dark Taoist robe slowly walked out.

His hair and beard were all white, and his eyes were like lightning. With each step he took, the surrounding world would naturally harmonize with his aura.

Mid-stage of fusion.

The old man in the black Taoist robe first glanced at the green-robed steward who had been thrown into the ruins, and his face immediately darkened. Then he turned his gaze to Gu Changjin.

"It is you, you madman."

"You injured a steward of my Xuandu Taiyi Sect."

"Interfering with the sect's recruitment of disciples and guest elders?"

"Do you still intend to commit violence in front of me?"

The gray-robed old man's eyes lit up with wild joy when he saw the old man in the black Taoist robe appear.

saved!

He was about to ask for help.

Gu Changjin raised his fist again.

"You dare!"

The old man in the black Taoist robe's expression changed drastically.

But Gu Changjin completely ignored him.

With a flash, he was already in front of the gray-robed old man.

A punch landed.

boom!

The remaining half of the gray-robed old man's body exploded into a bloody mist on the spot.

His soul, his celestial abode, and his true spirit were all crushed by the force of the punch, leaving him with no chance of survival.

A fine drizzle was falling from the sky.

When he fell from grace, Heaven and Earth were moved.

Everyone was stunned.

In front of the combined-body elder of the Xuandu Taiyi Sect, they beat someone to death.

This can't just be called crazy, it's downright insane!

The old man in the black Taoist robe looked extremely grim.

The person died before he could finish speaking. Where would he put his pride then?

"Okay! Okay!! Okay!!"

"Excellent!"

"It seems that if I don't suppress you today, the rules of my Xuandu Taiyi Sect will become a joke!"

His aura exploded completely, and the array patterns of the entire Dao City lit up, with a terrifying aura locking onto Gu Changjin.

Just as he was about to make his move.

Gu Changjin casually tossed out an ancient-looking token.

"Take a look at this first."

The old man in the black Taoist robe originally intended to smash the token directly.

The moment the token appeared, the entire Xuandu Taiyi City trembled violently.

Countless ancient array patterns lit up on their own, and a message that only the sect's high-ranking members could perceive directly flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The owner of the token was none other than a Supreme Being who had transcended tribulation in Xuandu Taiyi!

Thousands of years ago, that Supreme Being owed a friend an immense debt of karma.

He personally promised that as long as a descendant of the other party's bloodline came with an order, he would take them as a disciple and teach them everything he knew.

Anyone who dares to obstruct him is his enemy.

This elder in the Nascent Soul stage also knew about this matter, but thousands of years had passed and he had almost forgotten about it. He never expected that today...

The murderous intent emanating from the old man in the black Taoist robe instantly froze.

His face first turned ashen, then white, then red, and finally, all his anger vanished completely.

He remained silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the gray-robed old man who had completely vanished, and snorted coldly.

"That audacious madman deserves to die!"

Then, the old man in the black Taoist robe forced a gentle smile onto his face and cupped his hands in greeting to Gu Changjin.

"May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"

"Please come with me to our sect for a chat."

The entire square fell silent once again.
