"He just performed a meritorious service. If we kill him, the Night Watch will be furious. They will then deploy more forces in the Desolate State to deal with us than they have now. It will be difficult for us to escape. Let's wait and see. Within the Yuehai County, we should not invest any forces in building new strongholds for now," Fan Ding said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Wen Lin accepted the order.

Judging from Fan Ding's attitude.

The drowning church is preparing to back down.

of course.

The premise is that Gu Chen stops targeting their Drowning Cult.

The Drowning Cult withdrew from Yuehai County.

If Gu Chen were to leave Yuehai County to target them in other places...

Then they will adopt a new strategy. If they are forced into a corner by Gu Chen, they will take action against Gu Chen even if it means offending Shangguan Wuqing, a Earth Venerable Realm expert.

In the desolate state, on the Qingyun Sword Sect's side.

Liu Chen and the others have returned.

of course.

Liu Chen was carried back.

The main peak of Feidu Peak in the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Liu Chen's father, Liu Xiong, looked at the peak master of Feidu Peak and said, "That Shangguan Wuqing's seventh disciple, Gu Chen, is truly arrogant. Not only did he insult our sect, but this time he even crushed my son's hands and feet. I beg the peak master to avenge my son!"

The Qingyun Sword Sect has six peaks.

The peak masters of the six peaks are all top-tier experts above the first rank.

Their peak master, An Tonghe, is a master at the early stage of the Earth Venerable Realm.

Liu Xiong himself was only at the fourth rank.

He couldn't avenge his son Liu Chen on his own.

(Please remember the website ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ for the fastest chapter updates)

After all, behind Gu Chen stood Shangguan Wuqing.

It's no use him going.

The only option is to ask their peak master for help.

"Liu Xiong, you can go back now." An Tonghe said calmly, "Shangguan Wuqing broke through to the Earth Venerable Realm half a month ago and has now gone to the Central Continent Night Watch Headquarters to serve as a high-level decision-maker. Let's leave Liu Chen's matter here."

Upon hearing this...

Liu Xiong was startled!

Shangguan Wuqing actually broke through.

Having crossed that threshold, I have achieved the Earthly Venerable Realm!

He only found out about this now.

Breaking through to the Earthly Venerable Realm—what does that even mean?

Of a hundred experts at the peak of the first rank, perhaps only a few will ultimately be able to cross this threshold.

Many people are stuck in this situation their whole lives, unable to overcome it until they die.

Once you enter the Earthly Venerable Realm, you enter the club of all the top forces within the Divine Dynasty.

They have gained a real voice.

Just like their peak master.

Now, Shangguan Wuqing has made a breakthrough.

Judging from the current attitude of the peak master.

It seems we're going to make them, father and son, suffer this loss.

Who told Gu Chen to hurt his son? And Gu Chen's master, Shangguan Wuqing, had broken through to the Earthly Venerable Realm.

A newly promoted Earthly Venerable Realm expert, and from a divine dynasty institution like the Night Watch, which has a terrestrial deity in charge.

The peak master of Feidu Peak would never offend him for Liu Chen's sake.

"I understand," Liu Xiong replied dejectedly, then left with Liu Chen.

This matter is now closed.

They could no longer cause trouble for Gu Chen.

Otherwise, they might lose their lives as well as their father and son.

On Gu Chen's side.

According to the information provided by the copper bowl.

Gu Chen flew all the way.

Arrive at the Qingdao Island.

suspended in the air.

Gu Chen observed the situation on the island.

There were only a few scattered small wooden houses.

Without careful observation, it would be impossible to detect the powerful aura and several auras of the fifth level of the Innate Realm hidden inside the wooden house.

From an outsider's perspective

Outsiders might think these are just a few small wooden huts built by fishermen for temporary supplies on the island.

In fact, this is one of the hidden strongholds established here by the Yamamoto family of the island nation.

Ancient dust settled on the small island.

Outside those wooden houses.

The villagers of Yamamoto Okamura and several island nation experts at the fifth level of the Innate Realm immediately sensed this and rushed out of the wooden house.

Upon seeing that it was Gu Chen...

Yamamoto Okamura's eyes immediately turned cold.

It turned out to be Gu Chen.

He actually found his way here.

Gu Chen looked at Yamamoto Okamura: "What, are you surprised?"

"Your tracking ability is truly remarkable," he said to Gu Chen in broken Chinese. "To track me all the way here, even a dog's nose isn't as sharp as yours. But do you think you can kill me just because you're here alone!"

The island was discovered by Gu Chen, the head of the Night Watch.

It can no longer be used and must be discarded.

That Gu Chen truly deserves to die.

Not only did they destroy all the strongholds where their family traded with Liu Xun within the territory of Yuehai County, but now they have also followed the clues and found this place.

Including Yamamoto Juichi and others from before.

The number of people from the Yamamoto family who have died at Gu Chen's hands is no less than the number you can count on one hand!

"Whether I can kill you or not isn't something I can decide with words. You'll find out soon enough." Gu Chen looked at him with a cold smile.

"Today, I will use your blood to pay tribute to all the brave warriors of my Yamamoto family who have recently died because of you!" Yamamoto Okamura roared.

then.

His aura exploded, his true essence surged forth, he drew the Japanese samurai sword from his waist, spread his legs into a bow stance, and suddenly leaped up, slashing down at Gu Chen's head with his sword!

He unleashed a martial art he had cultivated, the second-rank martial art of the Traveler, the Horizon One-Slash Slash.

He imbued this strike with a large amount of true essence; any expert at the True Essence Realm would surely die if they faced it.

Even a powerful expert at the Breaking Aperture Realm can be injured if they don't handle the situation properly.

Gu Chen's cultivation level is publicly displayed as the early stage of the True Essence Realm, but his combat strength is at the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.

But Gu Chen dared to come looking for them all by himself.

He estimated that Gu Chen's true strength was far greater than that.

So he didn't let his guard down.

His first move was at the late stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

Seeing the fierce, murderous slash coming at him, Gu Chen was not afraid at all and unleashed his cultivation.

The Azure Dragon phenomenon and the White Tiger phenomenon both appeared simultaneously.

A terrifying amplification power instantly descended upon him.

This raised all of his attributes to the level of the Perfect Breakthrough Realm.

With a surge of true energy, Gu Chen raised his sword and slashed horizontally.

The fourth move of the Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique, the Demon-Slaying Slash, is unleashed.

clang!

Yamamoto Okamura's sword landed on the blade he was slashing horizontally.

The powerful true energy collided and tore each other apart.

The blast wave spread outwards.

The innate fifth-level experts from those island nations quickly retreated to avoid being accidentally injured.

Gu Chen's strike was incredibly powerful, sending Yamamoto Okamura flying backward. After landing, he staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

Although he managed to steady himself, the web of his hand holding the knife was shattered by the impact, and blood trickled out.

In this exchange of blows, he was completely outmatched.

He was utterly shocked.

With the blessing of these two extraordinary phenomena, Gu Chen's four-dimensional attributes are now comparable to those of a powerhouse at the peak of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

Gu Chen's true cultivation level was not at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, but at the late stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

He has always hidden his true power!

Gu Chen has that kind of strength.

Then it's possible that Gu Chen killed Yamamoto Juichi, a powerful member of their Yamamoto family.

It wasn't killed by any other powerful members of the Night Watch.

They really kept it well hidden.

Several powerful island nation experts at the fifth level of the Innate Realm who were standing nearby were also shocked by this scene.

Gu Chen was able to so easily repel a single strike from their clan's Yamamoto Okamura, meaning his strength has surpassed theirs. What should they do now?

Are they going to be killed here today?!

After witnessing Gu Chen's true fighting power, Yamamoto Okamura immediately took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

This pill is similar in appearance to the one that Gu Chen swallowed when he killed Yamamoto Eleven on Iron Reef Island.

It just seems to be more advanced.

After Yamamoto Okamura took it, for a time...

His cultivation level immediately began to rise steadily.

He took an upgraded version of the Bloodthirsty Pill.

It is more effective than the Bloodthirsty Pill. After taking it, it can increase the strength of a sixth-grade expert by one small realm in a short period of time.

It may take about a year to recover.

It was a trump card that the strong members of the Yamamoto family used to save their lives in critical moments.

Gu Chen's strength is now too great.

Relying on one's own cultivation level, one might not be a match for Gu Chen.

It's safer to just take this pill directly.

Gu Chen looked at him with a cold smile.

Drugs can't save you from your fate.

At this moment, Yamamoto Okamura was wrapped in blood-red threads, transforming his true essence into blood-colored true essence, and his aura reached the perfection of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

Yamamoto Okamura gripped his katana tightly again, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and suddenly lunged forward.

They unleashed one of the Yamamoto family's signature techniques, the Shadow Assassination Technique.

This martial art was used by Yamamoto Juichi back then.

It is a fifth-rank martial art.

The number of shadow clones that can be created varies depending on the level of cultivation. Yamamoto Juichi was only able to create three shadow clones back then.

Now, Yamamoto Okamura, as a powerful expert at the Breaking Aperture Realm, has cultivated this Shadow Killing Technique to a considerable level.

It can directly create six shadow clones of assassin phantoms.

These phantoms are more solid, and not just one of them is lethal; all six are, but the one belonging to his true body is more lethal.

Six afterimages, each wielding a samurai sword, slashed at Gu Chen from six directions with terrifying power.

This left Gu Chen with no way to avoid it.

Gu Chen has his own way of dealing with this move.

Gu Chen released his divine soul power, but the five fake figures showed no divine soul fluctuations and were easily seen through by Gu Chen.

With the blessing of the two extraordinary phenomena, he could completely ignore the destructive power of the five false phantoms.

Gu Chen's true essence surged forth, empowering the Fire Profound Blade. He held the blade horizontally to block, directly confronting the vertical slash from the figure of Yamamoto Okamura.

clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal was crisp and clear. Gu Chen's exotic true essence collided fiercely with the blood-red true essence on the samurai sword, and the shockwave exploded instantly.

Yamamoto Okamura was blown away by the explosion, plunged his knife into the ground, and knelt on one knee to steady himself.

Gu Chen stood firm, blocking the blow without retreating an inch.

Yamamoto Okamura looked grim, ready to confront them head-on.

Even after taking the pills, his four-dimensional attributes were still inferior to Gu Chen's, making him slightly weaker.

This is the terrifying power of the Ancient Dust Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique.

Once the extraordinary phenomenon of his birth is activated, it will bring him a terrifying boost, giving him the strength to crush opponents of a higher level.

Gu Chen snorted coldly, took a step with the Flying Serpent Step, and instantly rushed forward to launch a close-range attack.

He slashed out with the Fire Xuan Blade in his hand.

He unleashed the perfected sixth-grade martial art, the Breaking Illusion Blade.

He channeled the roaring alien essence into the Fire Profound Blade.

It transformed into a devastating strike.

They slashed towards Yamamoto-oka Village.

The Fire Profound Blade was entwined with the Blade Intent of Breaking Illusion, radiating a blood-red light. It was further enhanced by the True Essence of the Five Elements Thunder, the True Essence of the Azure Dragon, and the True Essence of the White Tiger, making it extremely ferocious!

With his current cultivation level, even a Perfected Breaking Aperture Realm cultivator would be killed on the spot by this strike!

Yamamoto immediately activated his turbulent internal energy to maximize the effects of the elixir, and his eyes turned blood red.

A torrent of crimson true essence surged from his body, covering his katana.

"Block them!"

Yamamoto Okamura roared angrily and suddenly swung his sword.

Guihai is slain with a single strike!

He unleashed the strongest offensive martial art he had mastered.

We must stop Gu Chen's attack!
