Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 371: Forcing Guo Gangfeng to Retreat

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Forcing Guo Gangfeng to Retreat

"I didn’t expect you to be a Taoist Saint as well. Interesting." Guo Gangfeng looked at Chen Lan with great interest and said with a faint smile, "I don’t kill nameless people, state your name."

"I can’t be bothered to say, you’re unworthy to hear it," Chen Lan replied blandly.

Upon hearing this, Guo Gangfeng smiled coldly, his eyes instantly filled with endless killing intent, wanting to immediately cut Chen Lan into pieces, making him wish he were dead.

"Kid, I’ve seen many arrogant people, but those who dared to be arrogant in front of me didn’t end well. Do you want to know what happened to them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Gangfeng waved his big hand, shouting angrily, "Go, flatten this blacksmith shop."

"Kid, stay obediently behind me and protect her," Li Chunqiu put down the heavy hammer and slowly walked forward.

Amazingly, the heavy hammer began pounding on its own, continuing to forge weapons for Chen Lan, as if it had gained a consciousness of its own!

"You can indeed see her," Chen Lan said. Besides him, there was only Li Chunqiu and this girl here.

Li Chunqiu didn’t answer this question. Instead, he stood in front of Chen Lan, using his tall figure to block the view ahead, gently raising his hand.

Boom!!!

As the thousands of troops pressed forward, the iron hooves, as heavy as Mount Tai and comparable to a planetary collision, stomped down viciously. A barrier swiftly spread out, blocking the onslaught of the troops.

Li Chunqiu stood with his hands behind his back, watching these men attack the barrier with ease, his heart unruffled, having immense confidence in the barrier.

Guo Gangfeng squinted his eyes, looking heavily at the barrier. He didn’t expect the barrier set by Li Chunqiu to be so solid that even thousands of troops couldn’t break through. This elite army was something he spent a hundred thousand years creating. Each person was above the level of Immortal Emperor, and each of these fine horses were extremely rare Divine Beasts, Cloud Soaring!

And every Cloud Soaring was above the Immortal Emperor level, each adorned with supreme treasures of the Celestial Dao. Such formidable strength, yet they couldn’t break a single barrier!

"Move aside!" Guo Gangfeng shouted coldly. What a useless group, they couldn’t even break a barrier.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly moved aside, leaving a space.

Guo Gangfeng summoned a battle halberd, tightly gripping it with both hands, raising it overhead, and swung it heavily towards the blacksmith shop.

He wasn’t skilled with the sword but with the halberd. He practiced with the sword to prepare for the day he would swiftly master it after pulling out the Divine Sword, but that hope was gone for the Divine Sword already had a master.

As the battle halberd chopped down, ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier, yet it still didn’t break.

Seeing this, Guo Gangfeng’s face turned red with rage. He was furious that even with all his might, he still couldn’t smash through?!

Seeing so many people watching, he became even angrier. The Dao patterns completely erupted, thirteen Dao lines appearing on his body, extremely terrifying, with all sorts of Dao powers constantly pouring into the battle halberd, emitting waves of purple light.

Boom!

The battle halberd smashed down again, and spiritual power and Dao power exploded out, shaking the Soldier Emperor City. Countless doors and windows trembled because of it, yet astonishingly, the barrier merely rippled and remained unharmed!

Seeing this situation, Guo Gangfeng was completely dumbfounded. Even after he unleashed the full force of his Dao power, he couldn’t break this barrier. What kind of array was this?!

"You can’t break it," Li Chunqiu said blandly.

This barrier was an array given to him by that master. It’s said to withstand a full-force strike from a Dao Emperor. He spent ten thousand years setting it here, and since ancient times, no one has been able to break it. A mere Taoist Saint wants to break it?

Thinking of this, he used his Divine Sense to glance at Chen Lan, not sure if he was that master.

Hearing Li Chunqiu’s words and seeing his calm and confident expression, Guo Gangfeng was furious and appalled that he really couldn’t break this barrier!

After staring hard at Li Chunqiu for one or two minutes, Guo Gangfeng ordered a retreat, leading the thousand troops back to the City Lord’s Mansion, leaving without a single threatening word.

"Thank you, senior," Chen Lan clasped his fists in gratitude. Although he could also solve the problem himself, since the other had intervened, it was best to show some courtesy.

"May I see your true face?" Li Chunqiu turned and asked. He had always been able to hear the girl’s voice and naturally knew this wasn’t Chen Lan’s true appearance.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly taken aback. Although perplexed, he still waved his big hand, dispelling the change and returning to his original appearance.

When his true appearance emerged, Li Chunqiu’s eyes widened sharply, and even the young girl was shocked.

"So like, unbelievably alike," Li Chunqiu murmured, the resemblance to the master in his mind was identical!

He didn’t know if this young man before him was that master’s offspring or a reincarnation.

"Brother Ye Lan, it’s really you!" The girl suddenly embraced Chen Lan, smiling excitedly.

The Divine Sword didn’t choose the wrong person. It was indeed Brother Ye Lan who returned.

Hearing the girl’s words, Li Chunqiu’s body trembled even more, now fully convinced that this young man before him was the reincarnation of that master.

"Lord Ye, long time no see!" Li Chunqiu fell to his knees with a thud, lowering his head and folding his fists, his voice slightly tinged with tears.

"Senior, please, you mustn’t!" Chen Lan hurriedly helped him up.

"Seems like Lord Ye has completely forgotten us," Li Chunqiu understood that Chen Lan no longer had memories of his past life when he heard Chen Lan call him senior.

"Sir, how many lifetimes’ memories have you awakened?" Li Chunqiu inquired.

He knew Ye Lan of the Desolate Celestial Realm’s Ye Family was also a reincarnation of that master. After all, he had once seen Ye Lan and recognized him immediately, just that he didn’t acknowledge it then.

Because Ye Lan was extremely outstanding and defied the heavens, he could tell it wasn’t that master but a reincarnation because that master was very low-key, rarely showing up, preferring to control everything from the shadows.

"The second life, I’m not fully recovered yet, and have no impression of the first life," Chen Lan honestly replied, recognizing that this Li Chunqiu seemed familiar with the first life.

"I don’t know much about the master either. I only know the master set up a plan lasting millions of years, this plan was made to counter an unknown formidable force. He once calculated that his third life on earth would be when the plan started to operate. You’ve come, and fate has begun to turn."

Li Chunqiu slowly lifted his head to the sky, as if looking at a world hidden by clouds and mist, speaking in a flat tone yet carrying extremely important information.

Chen Lan slightly frowned. A plan of millions of years just to counter an unknown and terrifying force?

In the first life, who exactly were you countering with such a long and meticulously prepared plan?

Chen Lan looked up to the sky, his mind heavy, everything becoming more and more mysterious. The affairs of the Desolate Celestial Realm were not yet clear, and the layer of fog was growing denser.

But no matter what, since I’ve come, I will break it, no matter how many dangers lie ahead, I will slash through them all with a sword!
