Volume 1 Ancient Family Has Son Chapter 45 You're Not My Opponent

  Medium-grade artifact? How could he possibly have a medium-grade artifact?

  Gǔ Cāng Yuè and others were all shocked in their hearts.

  The five middle-grade artifacts of the Gu family, one for the patriarch, one for each of the three elders, and one for Gu Cang Yue, the number one person in the Gu family, were passed down to Gu Tai's Drinking Jade Knife.

  Medium-grade law enforcement instruments, even Laozi's father, the ancient blue sky, are also non-existent.

  But Gu Chen's hand happened to hold a mid-grade artifact, an authentic mid-grade artifact.

  The cultivators of the Post-Heaven Realm cannot directly judge the quality of the artifact, but when the artifact is infused with Pre-Heaven True Qi, it will cause a fluctuation in the Pre-Heaven True Qi within the body of a Pre-Heaven Realm cultivator, making it clear at a glance whether it is low-grade, medium-grade or high-grade.

  "What?" Gu Tai's whole body shook, and he involuntarily took a step back, as if a thunderbolt had shattered his conviction.

  He had been in the Xiantian realm for four years, his father was the number one strongman of the Gu family, but all these years, he hadn't even once had the chance to possess a mid-grade artifact...

  This time, he got the Yu Jade Sword only because the reward for this clan trial was too valuable, so Gu Cangyue lent it to him temporarily. After the clan trial was over, it would still be taken back by Gu Cangyue.

  "He's just a kid who has only recently entered the Xiantian realm, how can he possess a mid-grade artifact?" Gu Tai felt a pang of pain in his heart, with resentment and anger pent up inside him that couldn't be released.

  Although the two men's weapons were both mid-grade artifacts, Gu Tai's face changed drastically as he stared at Gu Chen with eyes full of incredulity, taking a step back while Gu Chen remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

  Obviously, in the first round of confrontation, Gu Tai was defeated miserably.

  "Tai Er......" Suddenly, Gu Cang Yue let out a loud shout,

  Gu Tai's whole body shook, and he instantly woke up from his shock. He remembered that at this moment, he was on the arena, and this battle was the decisive battle for the first place among the three generations of disciples.

  This is a battle that involves the treasure of blood jade. Whoever gets first place will get the blood jade, and whoever loses can only pass by shoulder to shoulder.

  Gu Tai suddenly calmed down, as long as he defeated Gu Chen, obtained the Blood Slag, and refined the Blood Slag into his low-grade artifact, it would become a more powerful weapon than a mid-grade artifact.

  His eyes were filled with fighting spirit again, and at the same time, he became calm.

  Gu Chen smiled faintly. Just now when Gu Tai lost his composure for a moment, he didn't suddenly attack him. Gu Chen had a plan in mind for Gu Tai and wouldn't defeat him by ambushing him.

  But... I will defeat Kuto through a fair and square positive attack...

  In this way, no one will say that he took advantage of the raid.

  In this way, Gu Tai won't have an excuse to console himself after his defeat.

  With the strength of a first-rate innate realm, he defeated Gu Tai with a fair and square blow, which was the greatest destruction of his faith.

  "Alright, Gu Tai, go ahead..." Gu Chen raised his hand and made a inviting gesture, giving him the first move.

  Gu Tai was about to habitually say "I'll let you make the first move." Suddenly, he thought of Gu Chen's first battle and how he had suddenly burst out with a punch that sent his opponent flying.

  A chill ran through his heart: His speed was incredibly fast, and he would definitely strike as swiftly as lightning, which put me at a disadvantage. This battle concerned the distribution of blood and energy, and since I was allowed to make the first move, I wouldn't hold back, humph!

  "Come at me with a knife, I'll cut through the air with one slash..."

  Only to see Gu Tai's right leg take a step forward, and with a fierce stomp on the ground, where his foot landed, the innate true energy transformed into a ripple, spreading out in all directions.

  Gu Tai's body suddenly sprang up, leaping over a zhang high, and the Jade Drunken Sword shot out a zhang or so of sword energy. As his body fell back down, the Jade Drunken Sword followed its momentum and fiercely chopped down towards Gu Chen's head.

  The Jade Blade slashed down swiftly, its speed no slower than Gu Chen's previous punch. A sudden sonic boom was produced, and Gu Tai's knife, like Gu Chen's previous punch, had the same effect of being too fast, causing the air to explode.

  Yin Yu Dao quickly chopped down, not only bringing a few meters long knife edge, Gu Tai's innate true energy followed the knife momentum to chop down, forming a virtual Yin Yu Dao, instantly spreading out, and in an instant it swelled into a ten-meter-long air knife, together with the knife edge, chopping down towards Gu Chen.

  Such a shocking and earth-shattering slash, the entire arena would be split in two.

  The first sword, Gu Tai used all his strength, vowing to cut Gu Chen in half with one sword and decide the outcome.

  Hiss...

  Guxian, San Changlao, Gu Cangqiong, Gu Cangqiu... All the members of Guxian and San Changlao's lineage on stage stood up instantly.

  "Being too arrogant..."

  "Boldly..."

  Several people were shocked and shouted loudly.

  At the same time, Gu Cangqiong, Gu Xian and San Changlao, three people suddenly released their magic weapons...

  However, it was too late. Yin Yu Dao's sword, with a blade over 3 zhang long and an illusory shadow of over 10 zhang, had already chopped down towards Gu Chen's head...

  "Gu Tai's hands..." Gu Qian Shan was shocked and wanted to rush over to save him, but it was already too late.

  If Gu Chen were killed by Gu Tai on the arena, this host would certainly not be able to escape the wrath of the clan leader.

  At this moment, all the Gu family members changed their faces and looked at the scene on the stage with shock. The annual competition of the clan had turned into a life-and-death battle.

  Gu Cang Yue, Da Zhang Lao and Er Zhang Lao's faces also changed instantly. Gu Tai actually didn't care about the consumption of his essence, and as soon as he made a move, he burst out with his strongest power, which was beyond their expectations...

  They would rather die than dare to make a move on Gu Tai in front of the crowd during the clan's martial arts competition.

  This knife came too fiercely, with a loud momentum, and the illusory knife shadow of over ten feet rose above the stage. The attack target was Gu Chen's front, back, left, and right, within a range of only three feet.

  Everyone's heart was in their throat, each of them opened their mouth wide, but no sound came out...

  Everyone's eyes were filled with all sorts of different emotions, but there was only one expression: shock.

  A cultivator of the First Layer of the Innate Realm would absolutely be unable to withstand this one knife strike that was as swift and powerful as a thunderbolt.

  "The 11-year-old Gu Chen, a rare genius who had entered the Xiantian realm, might just lose his life at the hands of his own clan in this family competition..." This thought immediately arose in everyone's minds.

  Gǔ Tài's sword, Qī Dé, slashed out in an instant, from the moment he moved his foot and jumped up... to when he pounced down, fiercely slashing out with one stroke. In a time span of only one breath, Gǔ Tài's Yǐn Yù Dāo had already reached the top of Gǔ Chén's head.

  Yù Yù Dāo is a mid-grade artifact, cutting through gold and jade as easily as slicing tofu...

  Can easily split ancient trees in two, splitting them neatly and evenly, without leaving any bumps or dents on the wound.

  So swift a sword, yet in this moment, it seemed as if the entire universe had slowed down...

  The entire world was silent, without a single sound, only the Drinking Jade Knife on Gu Chen's head was chopping down towards his head...

  "Clang......"

  A loud noise suddenly pulled everyone's thoughts back from a standstill to reality.

  A thick congenital true energy, with two people as the center point, suddenly exploded in all directions, countless congenital true energies madly surged and churned, shining brightly.

  A dazzling flash of light, everyone instinctively closed their eyes, and in their hearts, they were all guessing: Gu Chen, had he been split in two? That loud crash, was it the stage that had also been split in two?

  The crowd opened their eyes again, the surging innate true energy had disappeared, and the arena was undamaged. On the arena, Gu Chen held the Qingli Sword with both hands, holding it horizontally above his head, blocking the Yinyu Knife.

  His legs were straight, without any bend, his expression was relaxed, without any injury.

  "What's going on? Am I seeing things?" The crowd rubbed their eyes and took another look.

  No fancy moves, Gu Tai's powerful slash was like a thunderbolt, but it was effortlessly parried by Gu Chen, who didn't even flinch.

  "You're not my opponent." Gu Chen said with a faint smile.
