Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 346 - 243: Where is the Gap_3

Hearing Lv Yuan’s words, Linghu Shang and Shen Lin exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of surrealism. It seemed that Chen Mu, who once came from a humble background, was never taken seriously by Gu Hong initially, only to rise abruptly later on and surpass Gu Hong, defeating him.

"Unfortunately, our cultivation isn’t sufficient, we couldn’t ascend to witness the great battle between Senior Brother Gu and your Senior Brother Chen,"

Xin Zhongze, standing next to Lv Yuan, started with a tone of regret.

Unlike Lv Yuan, he also practiced the Heart Sword lineage. After Gu Hong’s Heart Sword shattered, he managed to rebuild it, which was extremely enlightening for him; however, it was unfortunate that Gu Hong seldom gave guidance to his sect-mates, and his requests for advice from Gu Hong had also been rejected.

If he could have witnessed Gu Hong, who had rebuilt after destruction, and fought Chen Mu again, his own Heart Sword would have undoubtedly received significant enlightenment, equivalent to an intense meditation session. Unfortunately, his cultivation wasn’t enough to reach the peak.

However,

suddenly, there was more noise which made everyone abruptly stop and look in the direction from which it came.

This time, however, the noise wasn’t coming from the base of the mountain, but from above.

Soon,

a figure was seen hurriedly descending from the mountain with incredible speed, seemingly noticing Lv Yuan and Xin Zhongze. After a few quick movements, he was in front of the rocky face where everyone was.

Linghu Shang and Shen Lin’s expressions changed slightly, but they did not draw their weapons because the speed and the aura of the comer, undoubtedly someone who had stepped into the Five Viscera Realm, was not someone they could contend with.

At that moment,

everyone could see clearly that he was dressed in the garb of the Heavenly Sword Sect, unmistakably the true disciple Zheng Ji, and he was carrying another person on his back, who appeared disheveled and weak as if dead.

"Lv Yuan, Xin Zhongze?"

Zheng Ji glanced at the two, then flung his hand, and the weak person he was carrying was thrown out, landing in front of Lv Yuan and Xin Zhongze: "You guys are just in time, take Gu Hong down the mountain."

Lv Yuan and Xin Zhongze were both stunned, then they realized with a shock that the body thrown in front of them, though bloodied and with disheveled hair, was none other than the true disciple Gu Hong!

"Senior Brother Gu?"

Xin Zhongze was shocked, sensing Gu Hong’s aura, he said in disbelief, "How could Senior Brother Gu be injured like this!"

He also cultivated the Heart Sword, and at this moment he clearly felt that Gu Hong’s Sword Intent was almost imperceptible, even more thoroughly shattered than last time, as if he was completely crippled!

With the strength Gu Hong had rebuilt after his last breakdown, he could have fought anyone in the top ten of the newcomers, except Zuo Qianqiu. He should have been able to handle several moves from anyone—how could he end up in such a state up there?!

"He challenged Chen Mu with his sword, and this was the outcome,"

Zheng Ji said coldly.

Xin Zhongze opened his mouth, still somewhat in disbelief, "But... How could Chen Mu strike so viciously. Brother Zuo wouldn’t have ignored it, surely."

"Brother Zuo..."

Upon hearing Xin Zhongze’s words, a strange light flashed in Zheng Ji’s eyes.

And just then, a light laughter carried over from somewhere, "Your Brother Zuo, compared to Gu Hong, is probably not much better off now."

The laughter didn’t approach but rapidly faded away.

This not only stunned Lv Yuan and Xin Zhongze but also Linghu Shang and Shen Lin who were standing cautiously nearby. Eventually, all eyes converged on Zheng Ji.

But Zheng Ji’s gaze was complex, seeming reluctant to speak further, and he turned to leave.

Yet, in the end,

a voice came through the storm, making Lv Yuan and the other three freeze in place, each displaying an expression of incredulity as they looked at each other, all wearing nearly unthinkable looks on their faces.

"This... this..."

Even Shen Lin was stammering, her eyes wide.

Chen Mu vying for the Yunni Sky Steps?

Could it mean that even Zuo Qianqiu was defeated by Chen Mu?

Shen Lin had great confidence in Chen Mu, even hoping deep down that he could make a sensational breakthrough to confront the top five or even top three of the newcomers using the momentum of heaven, but hearing that Chen Mu was contesting, she still found the whole idea inconceivable.

She could ignore the others, but how Zuo Qianqiu could be defeated—she had never imagined it, let alone thought about it being a battle Chen Mu could win.

But these words came directly from Zheng Ji’s mouth, so there could be no falsehood.

Moreover,

that soft, seductive voice that came from nowhere, and the fact that Zheng Ji didn’t argue at all—could it be true that Zuo Qianqiu was indeed defeated by Chen Mu, and not just defeated, but catastrophically, just like Gu Hong?!

Linghu Shang and Shen Lin looked at each other.

At the peak...

What exactly happened?
