Chapter 408 - 408 Calm for the Time Being
408 Calm for the Time Being
In the eyes of the six assassins in The Trap, Soul Destroyer’s clone, Spirit Destroyer, was also an unparalleled expert!
Not only was trap assassin surprised, but Soul Destroyer was also.
“You want to join The Trap?” Soul Destroyer said in disbelief.
“Right!” Gu Mingzhou confirmed.
“You’ve already been listed as someone who must be killed. Joining The Trap might not save them, but harm them!” Soul Destroyer calmed down. As he thinks, he did not care about his life at first. Instead, he was the one who sent the message that Gu Mingzhou had asked him to.
As for the idea of taking revenge for his clone, he had already given up when Gu Mingzhou appeared.
Although this was the second time Soul Destroyer and Gu Mingzhou had met, Soul Destroyer had some understanding of Gu Mingzhou’s situation.
Soul Destroyer was able to make his Lord unable to forget him and instantly kill a first-rank earth realm cultivator. This made Soul Destroyer aware of the gap between the two.
“These are not questions you should be concerned about. Go back to the bottom of your freezing cold land and tell your Master what I just said.” Gu Mingzhou said directly.
Soul Destroyer’s gaze flickered as he looked at Gu Mingzhou. In the end, he turned his head and headed south.
Unless Xu Fengyu came, it would be difficult to kill Zhao Gao in front of him.
Gu Mingzhou looked at Soul Destroyer’s disappearing back and was silent for a long time. Then, he turned around and looked at the England’s cultivators who were still surrounding the assassins. A terrifying aura seeped out and instantly enveloped the entire Handan City.
“The troops of England, listen up. From today onwards, Handan City will be the headquarters of The Trap. If any troops dare to step in, they will be like this mountain!”
With that, Gu Mingzhou’s spear suddenly flew out, hitting a mountain outside of Handan City.
Boom!
The mountain range that stretched for a hundred miles suddenly exploded.
The mountain disappeared!
“Go back and tell your King of England that my name is Gu Mingzhou!” Gu Mingzhou looked around Handan City and shouted with his spiritual energy-infused voice, ensuring that his voice would reach the ears of every English army.
These two simple sentences, deliberately emphasized, instantly resounded throughout the entire Handan City, the sound lingering for a long time.
In addition to the terrifying pressure, the faces of the England cultivators in Handan City turned pale. Their legs went soft, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
“I heard that Gu Mingzhou single-handedly challenged the entire underwater world of beast cultivators and killed many strong people!”
Gu Mingzhou’s experience in the world of beast cultivators was revealed, and all kinds of rumors swept through Handan City. The rumors were exaggerated among the England army that had allied with the underwater beast cultivators.
At this moment, everything else was attached to Gu Mingzhou.
At this moment, one of the England cultivators who surrounded the assassin could not withstand the pressure. He could not suppress the fear in his heart. Suddenly, his weapon fell to the ground and he turned to run.
Starting from the cultivators who surrounded the assassins, all the soldiers inside and outside of Handan lost their will to fight. They turned around and ran.
Tens of thousands of troops retreated out of Handan City, retreating a hundred miles, but they did not dare to stop.
Among them, there were some who were lucky and hid in the houses in Handan City, trying to escape from Gu Mingzhou’s sight.
Gu Mingzhou stretched out his left hand in the air and clenched it tightly.
The England cultivators who were hiding in Handan City were directly blown apart, their souls scattered.
He had already sent out his spiritual sense and covered Handan City. No cultivator could escape from his control.
Of course, Gu Mingzhou only targeted cultivators. He did not care about the ordinary England soldiers.
The normal soldiers did not pose a threat to Gu Mingzhou or even the assassins in The Trap. If they were to massacre wantonly, it would cause the people in Handan City to feel fear. This would not be good for their future plans of establishing a country.
After killing the English cultivators and underwater beast cultivators in the city, he put away his spear and floated down from the sky, landing in front of Zhen Gang and Zhao Gao.
The England cultivators and underwater beast cultivators had all been cleared out of Handan City. The danger of being caught was temporarily removed!
“Brother, is it really you?” Zhen Gang looked at Gu Mingzhou landing in front of him and said in disbelief and excitement.
Not only Zhen Gang.
“It’s really you, kid!” even Zhao Gao, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, seemed to have regained consciousness as he sized up Gu Mingzhou with wide eyes.
“I’m back,” Gu Mingzhou was a little excited. He walked to Zhen Gang’s side and gave him a hug.
“You disappeared for so long, I thought you wouldn’t come back! I didn’t expect you to become so strong. I can’t thank you enough for your great kindness!” Zhen Gang patted Gu Mingzhou’s shoulder and cupped his hands in respect excitedly.
“You’re welcome. But you’re not bad either. You’ve already built your Dao Foundation. I’m afraid it won’t be long before you ascend to the heavenly realm, right?” Gu Mingzhou saw through Zhen Gang’s cultivation and said.
“In a few months, I will find a way to ascend.” A smile appeared on Zhen Gang’s pale face as he nodded.
“Congratulations! It seems that I’ve come back at the right time. I’m lucky to see you ascend!” Gu Mingzhou laughed out loud.
If Gu Mingzhou, who had not undergone the tribulation, wanted to ascend, he would have to follow the method of the Floating Jade Island Master and find someone to undergo the tribulation. The process would take time.
Now that Xu Fengyu had destroyed three major islands in succession, it was obvious that his target was the mainland.
Gu Mingzhou didn’t know the reason, but he knew that Xu Fengyu was preparing to make a move on the land. What happened to the three major rogue cultivator islands would be the same as what happened to the neighboring countries.
He wouldn’t let such a thing happen. At the very least, he had to deal with this matter before he went to seize the tribulation and ascend to the heavenly realm in peace.
No one could estimate how long it would take.
Zhen Gang didn’t notice the glint in Gu Mingzhou’s eyes when he spoke.
Immersed in her joy, she thought Gu Mingzhou’s ascension date was only a little longer than his own, so he didn’t think too much about it.
“Sect head Zhao, how are you?” Gu Mingzhou squatted down in front of Zhao Gao and asked with concern.
Even though Zhao Gao had regained some of his strength before he died, he was now dispirited and looked even weaker than before. It was as if the flame of his life was about to be extinguished.
Spirit Destroyer’s sneak attack had dealt Zhao Gao a heavy blow.
In addition, Soul Destroyer had almost crippled Zhao Gao’s meridians, causing his body to suffer even more severe injuries!
Fortunately, these two attacks weren’t fatal and weren’t enough to kill Zhao Gao.
“I’m fine, but I didn’t expect your cultivation to be so strong!” Zhao Gao looked at Gu Mingzhou and smiled weakly, but he couldn’t help but cough.
“Sect Master, this is not the place to talk. Let’s change to another place.” Zhen Gang suddenly cupped his hands and said.
“You’re all injured now, so it’s more important to heal first.” Gu Mingzhou nodded in agreement.
Zhen Gang hurriedly went to check on the other six seriously injured net assassins.
Even though they were severely injured, their injuries were not as severe as Zhao Gao’s.
At least, he could still walk on his own, although his speed was slow.
“Please follow me!” Zhen Gang supported the seriously injured assassin and headed north of Handan City.
The rest of the assassins followed closely.
