Chapter 583: The Thick-Skinned Will Benefit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The huge Dharma Idol was as dark as night, shadowing the city below.
With it constantly changing its form, it was hard to discern its shape.
Because of the soul attack, one-third of the army was wiped out. Not only that, the dragon formed by the army’s Qi was also affected, almost shattering!
The dragon was almost as tall as the Dharma Idol, and had glistening scales and a pair of cold eyes which was fixed on the gangster rabbit Gu Qi.
Then, a horn grew out of its head, and gave out a terrifying energy.
However, the dragon was still badly affected by the gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s attack!
“Ss!”
At a moderate speed, the dragon shrunk to two-thirds of its previous size. Even its horn had disappeared!
Without the horn, it was no different from a snake!
Taking advantage of the situation, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi quickly drew out his blood-red sword and sprung into the air before slicing the ten contraptions into halves!
“Martial Dao Technique, Troop Attack!”
Han Bing was infuriated. Those guards were all his own people. Now, his plans were foiled. Although Han Bing had always acted respectful towards to Gu San Sheng, he actually desired to take over Gu San Sheng’s place one day. If there was a chance, Han Bing would not mind killing Gu San Sheng.
Han Bing felt it was his chance earlier on, and wanted to take action, but a sense of fear towards Gu San Sheng eventually suppressed this thought.
Since Gu San Sheng ordered Han Bing to exterminate the Lu Family, there would be a chance for Han Bing to find out what miraculous discoveries the Lu Family had found.
It would be easier to deal with Gu San Sheng then.
However, due to Gu Qi’s attack, more than half of his trusted men died. There was no way Han Bing would not be infuriated.
As Han Bing charged into the troop, the snake instantly looked inflated and alive once again. Han Bing had become the soul of the troop!
“Ss!”
The snake rose up and howled towards the sky.
“Ji-ji!”
The Dharma Idol behind the gangster rabbit Gu Qi dispersed as Gu Qi raised its one-hundred-meter-long sword and slashed at the approaching snake!
“Pa!”
The flexible snake swung its tail in front of its body, taking on the sword imprint before stumbling back from the impact. The sword imprint cracked and broke into pieces, while the snake’s tail had a gash in it.
“Ji-ji!”
The gangster rabbit Gu Qi stepped forward again, and started swinging its weapon at the snake, which was forced to retreat. More than one-third of the cultivators spat blood as a result.
Even though the force exerted by the gangster rabbit Gu Qi was spread evenly among the cultivators, it was still too much to take for a low-level cultivator.
“This won’t do. If we continued, we would all die before it!”
Han Bing sulked as he did not expect the demonic beast to be so strong. One move from the opponent was enough to destroy a part of his army. The outcome was really hard to predict!
Seeing that the gangster rabbit Gu Qi had the upper hand, Han Bing pleaded with Gu San Sheng. “Sir, please kill this beast!”
Knowing the situation was not favorable, Gu San Sheng had originally planned to escape. But now, seeing the troop fending off the beast with their lives, Gu San Sheng froze in the air.
Should I leave or stay!?
Gu San Sheng could not decide on what to do after Han Bing called him out in front of everyone. Taking on the fight meant death, while fleeing meant a total disgrace, and he would not be able to stay in San Chuan City anymore.
Leave!
Gu San Sheng clenched his teeth and made the hard decision! What was face worth anyway? Not like it could feed him! Not like it could increase his cultivation level! It looked like the right time to flee as the demonic beast was held back by the army.
“Han Bing, I believe you will not let me down, I shall go exterminate the Lu Family first. If it’s still not settled by the time I return, I will definitely assist you.”
In a fraction of a second, Gu San Sheng was able to come up with a reasonable excuse. With a wave of his arm, he flew in the opposite direction.
“…”
What the heck!?
It was Han Bing’s first time seeing someone so shameless and thick-skinned!
A surprised Han Bing became mad with anger when Gu San Sheng fled, cussing loudly. “Bastard! Gu San Sheng, you shameless son of a b*tch!”
Despite hearing those words, Gu San Sheng still continued fleeing.
Many onlookers were dumbfounded by the sight. How could one be that shameless?!
“No wonder he could be a city lord, while we can’t. I thought it was due to a difference in skill level, but now I know it’s the difference in skin thickness…” one family head said sarcastically.
“City Lord Gu must have used his shamelessness to become a Thousand Year King,” a middle-aged man said slowly.
No matter how people criticized him, Gu San Sheng could not be bothered. If he could get to his City Lord Manor in time, he could still retrieve his valuable items and flee out of city.
“Dong! Dong!”
“Zeng!”
“Ss!”
Taking opportunity in Han Bing’s distraction, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi jumped into the air and slashed at the snake’s neck!
With this slash, the sword was able to cut one-third deep into its neck, causing it to hiss in pain. It successfully reduced the snake’s ability to attack by a half!
“Pa!”
Seeing that Gu San Sheng was on the run, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi turned serious and scratched at the group of guards!
“Pu-chi!”
“AH!”
Shrieks could be heard as countless cuts appeared on the guards’ bodies!
That was not all, with a purse of the gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s lips, the cuts deepened and disrupted their blood Qi!
Everything happened extremely fast. Many cultivators exploded from their clashing blood Qi!
With this attack, only thirty-plus cultivators remained!
The rest was dead from the explosive energy caused by their blood Qi!
If it had been in the past, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi would only have been able to injure them before the cultivator regained control of their blood Qi, but it was different now!
With the gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s breakthrough, his ability to control blood Qi was better. If one could not control his blood Qi in time, he would explode under Gu Qi’s control!
The snake’s tail also disintegrated before it could hit the gangster rabbit!
“BOOM!”
Continuing its attacks, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi kicked its legs in the air with all its might!
Then, its body shot out like a missile instantaneously!
It only took three kicks for the gangster rabbit Gu Qi to catch up with Gu San Sheng!
That was possible due to Gu San Sheng’s injuries which slowed him down and Gu Qi’s breakthrough which increased his speed.
“This is too much!”
Gu San Sheng stopped, knowing he could not escape anymore.
“Ji-ji!”
The gangster rabbit Gu Qi gave a scornful smile.
Gu San Sheng narrowed his eyes, and said, “You are indeed strong. But if I give it my all, you will not benefit, either! If I detonate myself, are you confident in handling it?!”
A Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast would certainly be able to understand his words. Right now, he only wished for his opponent to leave a path for both sides to retreat.
Gu San Sheng hesitated, and said, “How about this, we’ll count it as my fault this time. I’m willing to apologize. At the same time, I will take out large amounts of resources to compensate the Lu Family.”
He had no choice but to do that… even if he had to throw his face away this time. Otherwise, he might really end up dying here.
Gu Qi did not say anything, and directly raised its sword up. With a flash of its body, it appeared behind Gu San Sheng. With a single stab, the sword pierced cleanly through Gu San Sheng’s heart, neck, and brows!
Explode!
When Gu San Sheng saw that the gangster rabbit had disappeared, he instantly felt that something was wrong. It was clear that the opponent was intent on killing him, and Gu San Sheng instantly dispelled all thoughts of surviving. With a single thought, all of his blood Qi condensed rapidly, and a fierce explosive might surged out from him!
As the three sword strikes stabbed into his body, Gu San Sheng’s eyes shone with a fierce determination. Since you want to kill me, let us die together!
“BOOM!”
A terrifying force surged out of Gu San Sheng’s body, and his body swelled up exaggeratedly. At the same time, a blood-red bell suddenly dropped from the sky, directly caging Gu San Sheng within it!
“Dang! Dang!”
“Kacha!”
In the instant that the explosion blasted out, immeasurable energy smashed against the red bell, causing it to ring continuously. In just a short time, numerous long cracks already appeared on the surface of the bell. Following that, a dazzling light could be seen shooting out from the cracks!
“BOOM!”
An even louder sound rang out, followed by a fierce rumble. The power of a Thousand Year King exploding might not be comparable to a Godly Thunder Strike, but it wasn’t much inferior.
After a long time, the huge mushroom cloud began to dissipate. The gangster rabbit Gu Qi could also be seen walking out from the smoke with a disdainful expression on its face. Did that idiot really think that it would fall for the same trick twice?
