Under normal circumstances,

Gu Han’s spiritual sense would naturally have detected the approaching people earlier.

However, at this moment, he was in the midst of a Breakthrough, and with his mind tightly strained, his perception was naturally much weaker than before.

“Young Master!”

A Sha’s expression tightened.

“They…”

“It’s him!”

Hearing that all-too-familiar voice, hatred surged in Gu Han’s heart!

“Gu Cheng!”

Intertwined with hatred,

the scene of being framed that day resurfaced in his mind!

That day, he was ambushed and fell unconscious. When he woke up, he found the frenzied Gu Tian charging at him, with a sword plunged into his chest!

It was his sword!

At that time,

just as he was about to approach Gu Tian,

he was struck on the shoulder by the heavily injured, dying, and delirious Gu Tian.

When he regained consciousness again, besides the blood-stained longsword on the ground, Gu Tian was nowhere to be found. Inside his clothes, there was an additional golden seal, and Gu Tian’s words telling him never to rashly comprehend the golden seal still echoed in his ears.

Immediately after,

he was accused of patricide by Gu Chang and the others who arrived.

His Foundation and Cultivation were abolished!

He was expelled from the Gu Family!

He naturally knew that from beginning to end, the instigators of this matter were Gu Chang and a few others, but with his Cultivation at that time, facing several Tong Qiao Realm masters, he had no ability to resist whatsoever.

“Foster Father!”

Thinking of all Gu Tian had done for him over the past seventeen years, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot!

The murderer…

was right before his eyes!

“Young Master…”

Even A Sha felt that Gu Han at this moment was a bit frightening.

“A Sha!”

Gu Han turned around, forcibly maintaining the last shred of sanity in his heart.

“Don’t go out. Wait for me to come back!”

“Young Master.”

A Sha felt like crying a little.

“You… you mustn’t die…”

“The ones who will die are them!”

Gu Han slowly stood up, gently touching a Storage Pouch at his waist.

Inside…

was that Flaming Cloud Spear!

Boom!

Amidst the surge of emotions, the spiritual energy within his body churned like overturning rivers and seas, instantly breaking through the final barrier and pushing him into the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

This was the Realm he was in before he was crippled!

“Those who harmed you…”

On the longsword, Sword Qi had condensed to its extreme, held back and not yet released!

“I will make them pay the price!”

As his voice fell,

a blurry afterimage was left in place, and Gu Han’s figure suddenly shot out!

…

In the distance,

Gu Cheng approached with five people, his face full of confidence.

“Don’t forget!”

Among the Loose Cultivators,

a young man seemed a little uneasy and looked at Gu Cheng.

“After killing him, the yuan crystals and Spiritual Artifacts you promised!”

Before,

he hadn’t considered earning those two thousand yuan crystals, but Gu Han’s achievements were too dazzling, and he didn’t feel confident of certain victory, nor did he want to cooperate with others to split the bounty. After much deliberation, he didn’t choose to act.

Not just him.

The other two had the same idea.

However,

this time Gu Cheng offered five thousand yuan crystals, plus that High Grade Spiritual Artifact. Even if split evenly, it was still a considerable fortune, which made it impossible for them not to be tempted.

Moreover, among the six people,

he and Gu Chang had the Cultivation of the Fourth Layer of the Tong Qiao Realm, and the remaining four had the Cultivation of the Third Layer of the Tong Qiao Realm.

This force,

unless they sought death by continuing to go deeper,

was synonymous with invincibility in this area!

“Don’t worry!”

Gu Cheng sneered.

“In Tianwu City, my Gu Family’s reputation is second to none! As long as he is killed, the yuan crystals and Spiritual Artifacts are yours! Likewise, you must go all out…”

The last word had not yet left his mouth.

A roar like that of a wild beast instantly rang out!

“Gu Cheng!”

Before the sound faded,

a chilling Sword Qi was already only a few feet away from him!

So fast!

His pupils contracted, and a barely visible red glow instantly lit up on his body. He twisted his body to the side, narrowly dodging the Sword Qi!

Bang!

Bang!

Behind him,

several ancient trees struck by the Sword Qi crashed to the ground!

“Gu Han!”

Gu Cheng’s face was extremely grim.

Strong!

Too strong!

At this moment, Gu Han was like a new person, much stronger than before he was crippled. If Gu Han hadn’t attacked from a great distance, even with his Cultivation of the Fourth Layer of the Tong Qiao Realm, he would not have been confident of dodging that Sword Qi!

To the side,

the three Loose Cultivators also broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, they had been cautious enough earlier not to choose to act, otherwise, facing this inexplicable Sword Qi alone… it would definitely have been more bad than good!

“Gu Cheng!”

Gu Han ignored the others, pointing his longsword directly at Gu Cheng.

“Today, you must pay for my foster father’s life!”

“Pay for his life?”

The young man was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Cheng.

“Didn’t you say this kid was a patricide? How come he wants you to pay for a life instead?”

“None of your business!”

Gu Chang’s expression was sinister.

“If you still want the yuan crystals, stop prying into these irrelevant matters!”

The young man immediately shut up.

Compared to yuan crystals, the truth of this matter was not important at all.

“Little beast!”

Gu Cheng stared coldly at Gu Han.

“The item, it’s in your hands, isn’t it? Hand it over, and perhaps if I’m in a good mood, I might even leave you a complete corpse!”

“Go to your mother!”

“What did you say?!”

“I said…”

Gu Han slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with towering hatred!

“Go to your mother!”

“Good, good, good!”

Gu Cheng trembled with rage.

“Little beast, when Gu Tian picked you up back then, I knew you had a rebellious spirit and would surely be a disaster. Now it has indeed come true! Not of my clan, their heart must be different! You are, after all, just a bastard! Gu Yang is the legitimate Bloodline of my Gu Family, he is the future of my Gu Family! It is because of your appearance that you took what should have belonged to him!”

Beside him,

the two Elders also had indifferent expressions.

Gu Han.

A thorn in the heart of everyone in the Gu Family!

If he had been mediocre, it would have been fine, but he was too outstanding, so outstanding that everyone in the Gu Family felt ashamed when facing him!

And the more outstanding he was,

the deeper this thorn in the hearts of the Gu Family members was plunged!

“Gu Tian was the same!”

Gu Cheng continued to provoke Gu Han.

“As a member of the Gu Family, he didn’t consider Gu Yang, his fellow clansman, and actually always favored you, this bastard! It’s laughable that when he was about to die that day, he still tried to bargain with my father using that item, asking him to safely send you out of Tianwu City! Haha… what a deep father-son bond, it’s truly disgusting!”

“Foster Father…”

Two lines of blood tears flowed down.

Directly washing away Gu Han’s last shred of sanity!

“I’ll make them all die!”

As the word ‘die’ left his mouth,

his figure had already left its original spot, and the chilling Sword Qi on his longsword thrust directly towards Gu Cheng!

“Charge!”

Gu Cheng sneered.

“My Gu Family’s yuan crystals are not that easy to get!”

Whoosh!

Before his voice fell,

that young man seemed to have Cultivated a Cultivation Technique specializing in speed, and his speed was actually much faster than Gu Han’s. As his figure flickered, leaving behind streaks of afterimages, he instantly blocked in front of him!

At the same time,

from left and right,

the attacks of the other two Loose Cultivators also arrived!

The young man had thought it through well.

Facing such an attack, Gu Han’s best option would naturally be to retreat. At that time, he could use his agile movements to cooperate with the other two and exhaust Gu Han to death!

But he was wrong.

Gu Han, at this moment, was consumed by rage and only wanted to kill Gu Cheng. He did not dodge or evade, taking two heavy blows head-on!

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

However, under the influence of this force, his speed increased by another three points!

Pfft!

A soft sound!

A chilling sword light suddenly flashed, piercing into the young man’s glabella!

Even in death, a trace of confusion remained in the young man’s eyes, as if he simply couldn’t understand why Gu Han would choose such a suicidal fighting style.

And at this moment,

the distance between Gu Han and Gu Cheng was only ten feet!

“Little beast!”

Gu Cheng sneered, but instantly pulled out a long saber!

Flames instantly swirled around his body, covering the entire saber!

Blazing Flame Burning Art!

“Today, I will eliminate you, this scourge, for the Gu Family!”

Whoosh!

As he spoke,

the long saber let out a whistling sound, carrying a scorching heat, and directly slashed towards Gu Han!

Clang!

A metallic clang!

The longsword and long saber instantly collided!

To Gu Cheng’s astonished eyes, Gu Han’s tattered longsword actually cut his long saber cleanly in half!

The longsword, its momentum undiminished, suddenly swept past him, severing his right arm at the elbow!

“Ah!”

A cry of pain.

“Kill!”

“Kill this little beast for me!”

In that instant just now,

he actually sensed a hint of death’s crisis!

In an instant,

fear arose in his heart!

“Ah!”

Suddenly,

another scream came!

He looked up, only to see Gu Han covered in blood, his hatred soaring to the sky, and of the remaining two Loose Cultivators, one had died again!

“Gu Cheng!”

Gu Han ignored the others, rushing towards him recklessly!

“Die!”

Damn it!

Gu Cheng’s heart skipped a beat, his courage completely gone!

He had severely underestimated his strength. If he stayed here any longer, he might truly suffer a humiliating defeat!

Run!

Without the slightest hesitation,

he fully activated his Cultivation and fled into the distance!

In his ears,

the curses, roars, and screams gradually became inaudible.

After a long while,

he glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he slowed his pace, panting heavily.

Too strong!

He simply couldn’t comprehend

why Gu Han was so powerful now.

Six Tong Qiao Realm cultivators?

No!

He was afraid that the number would at least need to double to have any hope of winning!

“Little beast!”

Being scared into such a state by the person he hated most on a daily basis, he was filled with shame and anger, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.

“You just wait! I will definitely…”

“Gu Cheng!”

Suddenly!

A voice like one from Hell rang out behind him!

It was Gu Han!

Damn it!

Gu Cheng’s heart sank, but he didn’t even dare to look, and was about to flee again!

Pfft!

Suddenly,

a sword light flashed.

He only felt a pain in his legs and plunged headfirst into the dark, foul-smelling mud!

Ignoring his appearance,

he struggled to look up, only to see Gu Han looking down at him from above, his entire body already soaked in blood—some his own, but more of it belonging to others!

Those eyes…

were also as if stained with blood!

“Gu Han!”

At this moment, Gu Cheng’s mind raced, desperately trying to figure out how to escape from Gu Han’s hands alive.

“I…”

But Gu Han didn’t give him a chance to speak at all.

Pfft!

Sword light flashed, and a head fell to the ground!

“Foster Father!”

“This is the second one!”

…

Inside the cave.

A Sha hugged her legs, curled up in the corner, listening to the faint sounds of battle coming from below, her face full of helplessness and worry.

“Young Master…”

“You must not die!”

“If you die, I… I won’t listen to you anymore!”

“…”

In her murmuring,

the light at the mouth of the cave was suddenly blocked!

“Young Master!”

A Sha subconsciously looked up, only to see Gu Han, looking as if he had walked out of Hell!

“Are you alright, Young Master…”

“Wuwuwu… Why, why won’t Young Master let me help? I know… I know I can help you…”

“Stop crying!”

Gu Han’s voice carried a hint of fatigue.

“These minor injuries, they won’t kill me!”

“It’s about time. Let’s go.”

“Go?”

A Sha wiped away her tears.

“Where to?”

“Back!”

Gu Han gently took her small hand, his voice very soft.

“To seek revenge!”
