Chapter 31: Fierce and Resolute

“Who dares to make a move!”

Gu Qingfeng’s fierce shout echoed thunderously. Clad in white, he stood out vividly against the backdrop of the Red Leaf Forest. His long hair, handsome face, and calm demeanor gave him the air of a solitary sword, or even a towering mountain peak. His dark eyes, deep and silent as the ocean depths, swept across the crowd, instilling a bone-chilling terror as if plunging into an abyss, striking a deep fear into their souls.

Who would dare?
No one dared.

Everyone’s face was etched with shock and fear. Their eyes wide open, they circulated their spiritual energy, looking at each other with expressions tenser than the next.

“You little rascals, daring to oppose me!” Gu Qingfeng stood there, his words neither shocking nor alarming, yet the aura of twilight emanating from him was terrifying.

This twilight was not that of the setting sun.

It was more like a deep, enveloping twilight, making people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if life was nearing its end.

How could this be?

No one knew.

At this moment, nobody even thought to ponder this question.

They only felt that this young man surnamed Gu was somewhat mysterious, eerie, and fierce.

“Everyone, stay put. I have no grudge against you. If you do not make a move, naturally, I will not bother either.”

Gu Qingfeng’s eyes swept over the crowd. His tone was calm and indifferent as he spoke, “When I was younger, I knew the key to winning a hundred battles was to know both myself and my enemy. Do you know who I am? Do you know the extent of my power? Yet you dare to challenge me.”

Someone in the crowd twitched, looking like they were about to make a move.

Gu Qingfeng glanced over, his voice firm, “Little brat, think carefully about the consequences before you act. I am no Buddha; I have no heart of compassion. Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering dogs. Don’t trouble yourself unnecessarily; go back and cultivate for a few more years before you even consider it!”

Indeed.

After five hundred years of cultivation, Gu Qingfeng had lost count of how many he had killed. Numb to life, these youngsters were no more than ants in his eyes; he did not care for them, nor did he show any mercy.

Does one pity an ant?

The answer is clear.

No.

Gu Qingfeng had once ascended the throne of both Immortals and Demons, and even became the Emperor of Nine Serenities. His understanding of life had long transcended the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

“You are nothing but a failed Foundation Establishment trash, with a slightly stronger body and greater strength. I don’t believe you can be that formidable!”

Yun Hong stood out, arrogantly shouting.

He didn’t believe it!
Because within the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect, there was a practitioner with a failed Foundation Establishment who, although physically stronger than the average person and more forceful, was just that and nothing more.

He scoffed and conjured a flying sword, brandishing it with a flash of sword light. A three-meter-long, exceptionally sharp crescent moon-shaped sword light streaked towards Gu Qingfeng.

As Yun Hong made his move, Ye Hui, not far away, with a sinister look in her eyes, shouted, “Everyone, attack together! Kill this trash and see how he can be arrogant!” Ye Hui summoned a fiery red whip, channeling her spiritual power, attacking from behind.

Initially hesitant about Gu Qingfeng’s strength, the surrounding crowd, seeing Yun Hong and Ye Hui take action, also moved to attack simultaneously!

As the three-meter-long Cold Moon Sword Technique approached, Gu Qingfeng didn’t even glance at it. With a flick of his hand, the powerful sword technique was instantly crushed and dispersed with a series of crackling sounds!

No one knew how he did it.

And no one understood how this scene unfolded.

Yun Hong, caught off guard and without time to think further, saw his sword technique disintegrate. His expression changed drastically, and he leaped up hastily.

At that moment, Gu Qingfeng took a large stride and instantly closed the distance. With a swift pull, he yanked Yun Hong, who was mid-air, down to the ground with such force that the impact dislocated his ankle bones with a crack, causing him to scream in agony.

“I warned you to consider the consequences before making a move. Since you didn’t listen, taste this!”

Gu Qingfeng kicked viciously at Yun Hong’s chest. With that single kick, Yun Hong’s clothes were torn, his flesh split open, and he spewed blood from his mouth and nose. He flew out like a kite with its string cut, landing on the ground unconscious.

At this time, Ye Hui, who had sneakily attacked with her whip, was already striking. As Gu Qingfeng turned, he grabbed the whip in mid-air, noticing it emanating a green light.

It was poison.

If the whip made contact, the poison would infect the wound and corrode the flesh.

“A woman, yet so venomous in heart!”

Gu Qingfeng yanked fiercely, pulling the uncontrollable Ye Hui towards him. He slapped her face so hard that her face swelled, blood spurted from her mouth and nose, and her teeth fell out.

“Take this slap as a lesson! Scram!”

As he spoke, he kicked her, sending Ye Hui flying out with a miserable scream.

The hundred or so people nearby, who had intended to rush Gu Qingfeng, froze in fear upon witnessing this scene. Their faces turned ashen, and they retreated while looking at him in terror.

“Opposing me, Li Sen, leads to a dead end, no matter who it is!”

Suddenly, a nine-meter-tall pagoda appeared in the sky, unbeknownst to when. The pagoda shone with a brilliant golden light, surrounded by seven swiftly rotating meteors.

This was the Golden Seven-Star Pagoda, Li Sen’s peak-grade magic treasure. Its power was so immense that even experts with decades of Foundation Establishment cultivation would surely perish.

Looking up, indeed, Li Sen’s figure was seen atop the pagoda, his face ferocious as he shouted.

“Trash! Die!!!”

Boom!

The Golden Seven-Star Pagoda pressed down heavily.

Gu Qingfeng stood still, calmly holding up his hand to support the pagoda.

“You think you, a mere trash, can withstand my Golden Seven-Star Pagoda? You’re seeking death!”

Standing atop the pagoda, Li Sen manipulated spiritual formulas with both hands. The pagoda suddenly began to rotate rapidly. At the same time, he shouted, “Tan Siru, help me defeat him!”

What!
Tan Siru, stunned by the scene unfolding before her eyes, couldn’t believe Gu Qingfeng’s physical strength, which far exceeded her imagination. She couldn’t understand how his anomalous body could be so formidable.

So formidable that even she, a Foundation Establishment realm expert, felt a tinge of fear!
Hearing Li Sen’s shout, Tan Siru was momentarily taken aback, unsure of how to respond.

“Tan Siru! This trash is trapped by my Golden Seven-Star Pagoda, quickly defeat him!”

“I’ll give you endless cultivation resources!”

“Have you always wanted a peak-grade magic treasure? I can give it to you!”

Endless cultivation resources.

A peak-grade magic treasure?

Li Sen’s words somewhat tempted Tan Siru. Her family background was average, and although she had good talent, her status in the Cloudy Rosy Heaven Sect had always been mediocre. With enough cultivation resources, she believed she could advance her cultivation much faster.

“Just help me defeat him today, and I’ll make sure you become the chief disciple!”

Hearing the promise of becoming the chief disciple, Tan Siru could no longer restrain herself, her breathing becoming rapid.
