```

The remaining disciples of the Tianyun Sect, who had transcended mortal limitations, stood to the side, sneering at everyone present.

"This spiritual medicine was mine to begin with. You, you..."

The few independent martial artists stammered, their expressions filled with urgency, clearly unwilling to hand over such a rare spiritual medicine.

For independent martial artists to cultivate to the point of transcending mortal limitations was extremely difficult. Each of them had gone through three cycles of blood renewal and marrow cleansing. Without significant opportunity, they, like Hu Fan, had reached the end of their martial cultivation in this lifetime.

"Still dare to waste words?"

Seeing this, Hu Fan’s expression darkened. With the spiritual energy of Da Xia scarce and the world in tatters, a spiritual medicine like the Spirit Gathering Flower simply could not exist. Even the Tianyun Sect, as one of the top powers in Da Xia, had no such spiritual medicines or heaven-sent treasures.

This was not to say that the Tianyun Sect was inadequate, but rather that this was the state of the entire world. All other powers in Da Xia were the same.

"Place the Spirit Gathering Flower down. If you do so while I’m still in a good mood, I might spare your lives. Otherwise, all of you will die!" Hu Fan said fiercely.

Among those present, his cultivation was the highest. The rest were only at the stage of transcending mortal limitations, whereas he, a mid-stage master of the Hundred Orifices Stage, could kill these people as easily as slaughtering chickens.

"After joining the Six Union God Sect, have all of Tianyun Sect’s martial artists become as arrogant as you?" Along with this clear voice, a figure clad in dark robes suddenly appeared in the dense forest.

"Who?!"

Upon hearing the four words "Six Union God Sect," Hu Fan and the rest of the Tianyun Sect’s martial artists immediately changed their expressions.

The martial artists from other factions, upon hearing that the Tianyun Sect had joined the Six Union God Sect, were also startled, their faces filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Which unknown nobody dares to slander here? I think you’re looking for death!" Hu Fan’s eyes flashed with a fierce light when he saw this scene.

"Gu Chen, the Duke of Martial Peace from Da Xia?!"

At this moment, a martial artist shouted loudly, recognizing Gu Chen’s identity after sighting him.

"Hm?"

Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Hu Fan’s lips. He looked at Gu Chen’s tall figure and said, "So it’s you."

Gu Chen stood upright with a strong physique, his vital energy fully retracted, conveying a sense of returning to simplicity. There was not a single person present who could discern his true capability.

"Monsters of the demon cult, everyone has the right to eliminate them!" Gu Chen said indifferently.

His intention for doing so was to disseminate through the martial artists around him that the Tianyun Sect had sided with the Six Union God Sect. Then, anyone who still insisted on standing with the Tianyun Sect would, without surprise, also be deemed as having joined the Six Union God Sect.

"You’re talking nonsense!" Hu Fan shouted angrily: "You could have chosen the path to heaven, yet you refuse and insist on barging through the gates of hell. Today, even if I kill you here, no one will know it was me!"

As soon as Hu Fan spoke, other than the Tianyun Sect’s own, the expressions of all martial artists present changed.

The meaning of his words could not be clearer. As soon as Gu Chen mentioned the Tianyun Sect’s allegiance to the Six Union God Sect, Hu Fan had already resolved to kill everyone at the scene.

This matter was of the utmost secrecy; it could not be leaked by a single word, or else the reputation of the Tianyun Sect would be ruined.

Suddenly, all martial artists from other factions in the dense forest began to back away.

"Whoever dares to take another step, I’ll cut him down right here and now!" Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

Hu Fan issued a heavy rebuke, drawing the long knife from his waist and sweeping his menacing gaze over everyone with an air of dominance.

Then, turning his gaze, he unleashed the imposing aura unique to a master of the Hundred Orifices Stage without reservation, causing a strong gust within the forest. The martial artists from the other factions trembled under the pressure of this heavy aura.

Hu Fan looked at Gu Chen with an amused expression and said, "Now kneel on the ground, bow your head to me, and take back what you just said, and I might just spare your life."

He was extremely confident, feeling certain of his hold over Gu Chen, parading an air of assured victory.

Hu Fan’s impression of Gu Chen was still stuck at the time on the summit of Mirror Lake Mountain; he was unaware that the person who had slain many masters and grandmasters of both the Six Union God Sect and the Tianyun Sect was none other than Gu Chen.

Gu Chen executed these deeds discreetly, and the fights were over in an instant, with few witnesses to the truth.

If Hu Fan had known, he would have fled at once, not daring to make such grandiose statements before Gu Chen.

Having achieved his objective, Gu Chen no longer wasted words with Hu Fan. Instead, he took action and threw a fierce punch straight out.

```

Thud!

It sounded like battle drums were being beaten, causing severe pain in the eardrums of the martial artists nearby.

Ever since he reached the extreme stage of transformation, Gu Chen hadn’t made a move yet. He wanted to measure his current strength against a master of the Hundred Orifices Stage and see how far he had come.

"You!"

The moment Gu Chen made his move, a majestic aura burst forth from his body. Feeling the pressure of his cultivation that could crush his own, Hu Fan’s expression changed instantly.

It wasn’t just him; the expressions of all the martial artists present changed. With Gu Chen’s attack, they all felt as if their hearts had stopped. The aura naturally emanating from Gu Chen’s body was simply too overwhelming!

They could hardly move an inch.

Boom!

In a critical moment, Hu Fan crossed his arms in front of his chest, and forty-two orifices lit up on his body. He managed to withstand Gu Chen’s strike with great difficulty, but he was sent flying, spewing fresh blood from his mouth.

"He’s actually not dead?"

Gu Chen himself was somewhat surprised that his punch hadn’t killed Hu Fan.

But to Hu Fan’s ears, these words were excruciating.

"Run!"

Blood streamed from the corner of Hu Fan’s mouth, unstoppable. Knowing he was no match for Gu Chen, he turned and fled.

He needed to pass on the news that the Tianyun Sect had sought refuge with the Six Union God Sect to Su Du so that Su Du would take out Gu Chen.

"Thinking of escaping?"

Gu Chen’s black hair hung down to his waist, his figure tall and slender in his black garments, his clear white fingers slowly closing into a fist. As he clenched his fist, even the air seemed to solidify, and an overwhelming surge of fist intent radiated from his hands as if embodying the vast and stormy sea.

Mountain and Sea Fist Scripture!

With a thunderous boom, Gu Chen unleashed the power of one thousand and thirty years that he had cultivated within. This punch felt as if the heavens themselves were tilting!

Like a heavenly pillar smashing down, the force was too immense. In just an instant, Hu Fan’s body exploded, turning into a rain of blood.

"Brother Hu!"

The disciples from the Tianyun Sect cried out in horror at the extreme spectacle of their comrade’s death.

Cling!

A resonant sword cry echoed. With a flick of Gu Chen’s finger, a thick sword qi burst out from his fingertip, cleaving through the air with a gentle slash. The remaining disciples of the Tianyun Sect met the same fate as Hu Fan before they could even scream.

The martial artists spectating the horrific death of the Tianyun Sect disciples felt a chill run through their bodies; they remembered the battle in the Yan State where Gu Chen had slain a hundred and thirty thousand barbarian soldiers and his nickname of ’the Slaughterer.’

A cold shiver ran up from their feet to their crowns. As masters themselves, these people trembled uncontrollably in fear at that moment.

Especially the several freelance martial artists who actually took the initiative to hand the Spirit Gathering Flowers over to Gu Chen and then ran off without looking back.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected such an unexpected gain, which made him shake his head in amusement.

The only thing Gu Chen felt regret about was that Hu Fan’s weapon wasn’t divine.

"It seems that having a dreadful reputation does have certain advantages," Gu Chen mused as he looked at the Spirit Gathering Flowers in his hand. The surging spirit power could, if consumed, potentially help him break his shackles and advance smoothly to the Hundred Orifices Stage.

Shhh!

Suddenly, a finger force shot through the air like thunder, leaving behind a white streak aimed at Gu Chen’s heart.

Someone lay hidden in the dark, awaiting to enact the old strategy of the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind!
