My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 307 - 175: Victory [Update 1]

"Now, do you still believe you can win?" Wen Guiyun looked at Gong Tianhai and asked indifferently.

Gong Tianhai was infuriated by Wen Guiyun’s attitude. What he hated the most was Wen Guiyun’s calm demeanor, as if nothing he did mattered to Wen Guiyun.

He looked around and found that many people from the Demon Path had already died, while fewer had fallen from the Righteous Path.

He knew that today’s confrontation made it almost impossible for the Demon Path to win, but he was unwilling to concede.

Clearly, he had been preparing for this for years, planning meticulously, yet in the end, he still lost!

Especially over the years, he had not won once against Wen Guiyun, which had become a knot in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more extreme his thoughts became, until only one notion remained in his mind: to kill Wen Guiyun, and then he would finally have defeated him!

With this thought, he looked at Wen Guiyun with bloodshot eyes and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!" he said, as his aura suddenly surged, and he became as dangerous as a balloon about to burst.

For the first time, Wen Guiyun’s expression changed. He frowned at Gong Tianhai, never expecting him to contemplate self-destruction.

With Gong Tianhai’s cultivation, a self-detonation could easily affect those with lower cultivation nearby, leading to death or injury.

"Everyone, quickly scatter, he’s going to explode." Wen Guiyun shouted as he retreated, wanting to distance himself from Gong Tianhai.

Unfortunately, Wen Guiyun was Gong Tianhai’s target, so how could he just watch him leave?

He charged straight at Wen Guiyun, his expression twisted, and embraced him suddenly, "I told you, even in death, I’ll take you with me."

Wen Guiyun frowned, channeling the Spiritual Power within him in an attempt to push Gong Tianhai away. Yet Gong Tianhai had anticipated this, and no matter what Wen Guiyun did, he showed no intention of letting go. Seeing Gong Tianhai’s body swelling, a rare look of panic crossed Wen Guiyun’s face.

The surrounding people had already started retreating when they heard Wen Guiyun’s shout. Now seeing Wen Guiyun being held by Gong Tianhai and unable to escape, Si Lin and the others became anxious, wanting to rush over.

"Don’t come over!" Wen Guiyun noticed Si Lin and the others’ movement and quickly shouted, stopping them from advancing.

Si Lin and the others froze momentarily before exchanging glances, gritting their teeth, and continued rushing towards Wen Guiyun.

Wen Guiyun was beyond anxious; it didn’t matter if he died, but he didn’t want Si Lin and the others to be caught up in his fate.

Just as Wen Guiyun was worrying, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"Be still!" Gu Qingqing had already approached not far from Wen Guiyun and Gong Tianhai. Looking at Gong Tianhai, she spoke coldly.

As soon as she spoke, except for her, everyone around was immobilized, including Gong Tianhai. Immediately, Gu Qingqing seized the time to get close to Gong Tianhai. In her hand appeared a very exquisite dagger, the one Zhao Tonghai gifted her during the apprenticeship ceremony.

She plunged the dagger directly into Gong Tianhai’s heart, and to be sure, she quickly withdrew it and slashed across his throat.

The time for being immobilized was short, only about ten breaths, but it was enough for Gu Qingqing to do all this. After her dagger sliced across Gong Tianhai’s throat, she swiftly retreated, and the surrounding people returned to normal.

Gong Tianhai felt the pain in his chest and throat, glanced down to see the blood flowing incessantly from his chest wound, and the blood from his throat as well. The surge of his aura had been forcibly halted, and he suffered a backlash, blood trickling from his mouth. Wide-eyed, he glanced at Wen Guiyun, then wanted to turn to see who had killed him, but was forcefully shaken off by Wen Guiyun, his body flying backward.

"Thud!"

Gong Tianhai’s body hit the ground, his eyes wide open, his mouth moved slightly but no words came out, and finally, his head tilted, and he completely lost his breath.

Seeing Gong Tianhai resolved, Wen Guiyun and Si Lin both exhaled in relief. Si Lin quickly rushed to Wen Guiyun’s side, asking about his condition.

"I’m fine, don’t worry," Wen Guiyun waved his hand, indicating he was alright.

On the other side, after the body-freezing effect dissipated, a trace of blood also appeared at the corner of Gu Qingqing’s lips. This was because she had exceeded her body’s limits by using the Power of Word Spirit. Her body even swayed, but she was caught by Jun Wu, who had just killed Gong He. Jun Wu looked down at Gu Qingqing and noticed her pale face and bloodstained lips, immediately understanding that she was injured from using the Power of Word Spirit.

"Geng Geng, are you okay?" He held Gu Qingqing tightly, asking with concern.

Gu Qingqing shook her head, "It’s alright, just a minor injury, nothing serious."

As she spoke, she stuffed an elixir to restore Spiritual Power into her mouth. Just a moment ago, her Spiritual Power was almost entirely depleted. If it weren’t for her significantly stronger cultivation now, being able to support herself even with only ten percent of her Spiritual Power left, she would have fallen.

Jun Wu’s lips moved, wanting to scold Gu Qingqing, but seeing her pale face, he couldn’t bring himself to rebuke her and could only sigh, holding her tighter with some lingering anger, his lips pressed tightly.

Gu Qingqing also sensed Jun Wu’s displeasure. She looked up, smiled at him, and shook his sleeve gently, which barely eased his anger.

Si Lin and the others also noticed Gu Qingqing’s condition. With a slight consideration, they understood she was injured due to the recent event, and they felt instant heartache.

"Jun Wu, you take Geng Geng back to rest first. With Gong Tianhai dead, the others won’t last long. We’ll win soon." Wen Guiyun came to Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu’s side, looking at Gu Qingqing’s pallid face, speaking with heartache.

Jun Wu glanced around and found that it was indeed as Wen Guiyun said, the Demon Path couldn’t withstand much longer. So, he nodded, disregarding Gu Qingqing’s opinion, and directly flew toward Yuqiu Pass with Gu Qingqing in his arms.

After Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu left, Wen Guiyun and the others snapped back to reality, looking at the remaining members of the Demon Path.

"Si Lin, Yue Zhao, you don’t need to hold back your strength anymore. Teach these Demon Path people a good lesson and end the battle quickly." Wen Guiyun instructed Si Lin and the others, still somewhat worried about Gu Qingqing, wanting to end it soon and go back to check on Gu Qingqing.

Hearing this, Si Lin and Yue Zhao exchanged glances, immediately agreeing.

They, too, like Wen Guiyun, were worried about Gu Qingqing’s condition and wanted to end the battle quickly!

Sure enough, thereafter, Si Lin and the others no longer restrained their cultivation, unleashing their full strength. The remaining members of the Demon Path were no match for the Righteous Path disciples they led, one after another being taken down. Meanwhile, Wen Guiyun, along with Bai Guanlin, engaged with the Sect Masters of the remaining three sects of the Demon Path.

Gong Tianhai’s death was witnessed by Helian Cheng and the others. Although reluctant to admit it, among the four Sect Masters, Gong Tianhai’s cultivation was indeed the highest. Now that the most formidable has fallen, some harbored retreat thoughts, but unfortunately, Bai Guanlin and the others had no intention of letting them go.

After all, this battle was initiated by the Demon Path, and the Righteous Path had finally found an excuse. How could they easily give up?

Wen Guiyun, Bai Guanlin, and Jun Yutian faced off against Wan Qi, Helian Cheng, and Li Feng. The situation was completely one-sided as Wen Guiyun and the others showed Li Feng and his companions what it truly means to be at the Peak of Half-step Immortal Rank.

After half an hour of combat, Helian Cheng was slain by Wen Guiyun, followed by Jun Yutian killing Wan Qi, leaving only Li Feng. Unwilling to fall behind, Bai Guanlin took more than half a quarter hour to kill Li Feng.

Thus, all the Sect Masters of the four sects of the Demon Path were killed. Under the efforts of Si Lin and the others, many of the remaining Demon Path members also perished, leaving less than a hundred people. Wen Guiyun and the others exchanged glances and refrained from taking further action, instead giving Si Lin and his companions the opportunity to practice.

Half an hour later, all the Demon Path members who came to attack the Righteous Path were completely annihilated, leaving the ground in front of Yuqiu Pass littered with bodies.

"Master, we have lived up to the expectations and have killed all the remaining Demon Path members," said Si Lin, leading his men back to Wen Guiyun’s side with a slight excitement in his voice.

He was always the most composed, yet his tone barely concealed his excitement at the moment, as this news was truly exhilarating.

The conflict between the Righteous and Demonic Paths had never ceased. Although they hadn’t completely eradicated the Demonic Path this time, it’s likely that for a long time to come, the Demonic Path wouldn’t dare to appear openly in the Sub-immortal Realm. How could Si Lin and the others not be excited about this?

"Good, very good!" Wen Guiyun was also extremely excited.

As a pinnacle of Righteous Path power, Wen Guiyun had long been dissatisfied with the Demonic Path, yet for many years the coexistence had been relatively peaceful. He wasn’t the type to thirst for bloodshed, nor wished to instigate a war for personal reasons, plunging the Sub-immortal Realm into chaos. But since the Demonic Path had struck first, he could seize this opportunity to deal with them!

Having defeated the Demonic Path, all the Righteous Path disciples were overjoyed. Although some among them were injured and some lost their fellow disciples, they were still excited by this victory, having protected their sect and homeland!

Inside Yuqiu Pass, there was jubilation. Everyone was engulfed in excitement and joy, and the fallen Righteous Path disciples were taken back by their respective sects, to be buried and their families comforted after returning to their sects.

After returning to Yuqiu Pass, Gu Qingqing, exhausted, fell asleep in Jun Wu’s arms, and was taken by Jun Wu back to her residence and placed in her room.
