Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 573 The man named Wu Long

Gu Zhen's working eye looked at the man sitting on the pile of corpses with growing feeling of anxiety.

"I have not hidden my identity, my name is Wu Long"

Wu Long smiled, slowly standing up as another flash of lightning lit his face from the side.

"I am not asking about your name!"

Gu Zhen raised his voice in frustration, dismayed at the unresolved question.

'Hm? Wu Long?'

But as words were leaving his mouth, as if a lightning struck inside his mind along with the one that lit Wu Long's face, his consciousness suddenly made a connection between what he just heard and a thought he had when he first heard about the Troublemaker's name.

'Back then... I certainly thought it was familiar...'

His left eye narrowed, the muscle below the eye slightly contracting, creating a twitching motion.

'A Dual Cultivator...

...named Wu Long...

...handsome appearance...

...unusual for Dual Cultivators, sublime battle prowess...

...ability to negate the superiority of numbers, prevailing no matter how many enemies he faces to an unnatural degree...

...persecuting Lust Cultivators...

...proficient in many weapons and skills...

...rising from no notable background and no real information about his origins...

...and now... possessing knowledge and skills that should not be here..."

Shivers went through Gu Zhen as he started inwardly listing everything about Wu Long that he knew, that echoed and resonated with his distant memories, memories he has not revisited in more than 10 000 years.

All the irregularities and discrepancies suddenly started to naturally fit into place, as if he finally found a missing piece of a puzzle that made all others that previously did not make any sense come together and create a terrifying picture.

"G-... God of Slaughter..."

*Rumble, rumble*

Half of Gu Zhen's mouth that moved whispered in a very low, trembling voice, with the rumbling of thunder following as his eye filled with horror.

"No! No it can't be! This cannot be true!"

The Alchemy Tower Master then immediately refuted the answer that he reached.

Was it because of fear of what that answer entailed, or because he genuinely thought it was impossible, he likely did not know himself.

"Haha! Hahaha! HA-hahaha!

What, you think you can pull one over me again?

Do you think you can intimidate me with the name of someone who could not possibly be here?!?!

I know that you made a fool of me before, but do you think I am really THAT stupid?!"

Gu Zhen then started laughing somewhat hysterically as a heavy downpour of rain that has been building up for a long time finally fell onto the forest around the Yin Yang Unity Palace.

Each drop turned into a puff of steam with a light *pshh* sound in a small radius around the alchemist, not reaching him and creating a half-sphere of light haze.

"I am not asking you to believe something.

I simply answered your question"

Wu Long calmly spoke with a shrug, his words resounding loud and clear through the sound of the storm even if he did not raise his voice, the raindrops not reaching him either, moving to avoid him.

"Bullshit!

What God of Slaughter? What God of Pleasure? That man is nowhere near Boundless Mortal World!!!

Do you even know what would it take for someone like him to arrive here?

No, that's the wrong question!

Do you know how impossible that is?

Even he...

...the man who defied all norms and conventions established before his time...

...the one who rose from nothing, with no notable talent, no backing, no bloodline, or any special trait whatsoever, and yet became a Cultivation World legend...

...the one who single-handedly turned Dual Cultivators from the shunned and near-deviant-designated path into one rivaling Dao Cultivators...

...the fiend who nearly erased Lust Cultivators, who were before his time almost as prominent as the Corrupt Path, from the face of the Seven Boundless Worlds...

...the one who defied the Divine Serenity Palace, offended the Human God Sovereign, and made enemies of the Alchemy Association, Great Divine Forging Hall, and much, much more of the Seven Boundless Worlds' most powerful and influential, and still lives, roaming the world without so much as giving a damn!!!

...even he! ...is not completely beyond the Laws of the Universe!

Let alone Gods or Immortals, even just Transcendents cannot descend to the Boundless Mortal World through the Wall of Ascension! No one has EVER done it!

Not to mention that it is not the only one he has to go through on the way here from the Boundless Divine World!"

Gu Zhen's tone was full of hostility and denial, as he was desperately explaining why it was impossible, trying to convince Wu Long... or reassure himself.

Wu Long did not answer this time, looking at Gu Zhen with an unperturbed gaze and relaxed expression which unnerved the alchemist even more.

"What?!

You still intend on pretending?!

Even if you were the real 'Wu Long', the God of Pleasure! Why would you need to pretend to be a Mortal?! Why would you even need a plan?

You would be able to crush me without so much as lifting a finger!

And yet, you had to scheme and bait me into playing this stupid game!

You can't even deny that I have finally outsmarted you!

Soon, when my subordinates bring your women here, I won't even need to fight you to see you kneeling before me!

So what if they can't release the pressure of their cultivation?!

You still don't have enough forces to protect every one of your women!!!

Or do you think I don't know that the one operating this formation is that Sect Master of yours?

She is talented, no doubt, but with such scale and complexity, with her cultivation, I bet that putting up this aura suppression field is the most she could do!

Hahaha! But then again, maybe I shouldn't insist that you stop your act.

It would be a sight to see after all!

The Great God of Slaughter groveling at my feet and begging for mercy!"

Gu Zhen spoke with the left half of his face making a broken sneer, more and more convinced by his own arguments, as well as somewhat enticed by the last prospect he stumbled upon as he has regained a bit of composure.

"Haha, not bad, you are right, this Formation will not do much in terms of directly attacking your subordinates, as Zhiqiu's cultivation and skills only allow her to mostly only maintain it.

Though there are a couple more functions than the aura-

suppressing field"

Wu Long chuckled, nodding as it was indeed true.

"But... your subordinates will still fail.

You said that I spread out the battlefield too much, so much so that I had to stretch my forces thin, but I would argue that it is you who had to face that problem..."

He then added with a smile.
