Chapter 83: Massacre Begins

  Gu Chen killed the two elders with one sword, boosting the morale of the Gu family and seemingly seeing a glimmer of victory. No one expected that Gu Chen's cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, and his strength was astonishing, even Gu Cang Yue, who was at the seventh level of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, seemed to be no match for him.

  Among the people present, only Liu Huayuan guessed that Gu Chen was a sixth-level cultivator of the Innate Realm. He had long regarded Gu Chen as a sixth-level cultivator of the Innate Realm in his heart, but Gu Chen's strength once again exceeded Liu Huayuan's expectations.

  Judgment errors come at a tremendous cost.

  If Gu Chen defeats Gu Cang Yue, then... this battle will be without any suspense. Gu Cang Yun alone has the upper hand against both Liu Hua Yuan and Liu Xing Hen, let alone with Gu Chen joining him; how can they be a match for them?

  "This is going to be bad......" Yu Hua-yuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

  "Go and assist Gu Cang Yue!" Liu Huayuan shouted loudly, "All idle personnel, go and kill Gu Chen... spare no effort, kill Gu Chen..."

  The Gu family had only about 30 people participating in the battle, with about 20 people watching from the side, and more than 10 people defected to Gu Cangyue and the two elders. As for the Liu family, this time they came with more than 50 people, leaving behind only over 20 pre-heavenly boundary cultivators in their clan.

  All the people from the Liu family who came to the Gu family have already joined the battle, while the Gu family has only over thirty people, most of whom are fighting two against one. At this time, several masters of the Gu family have fallen into the hands of the Liu family's masters, so the number of people on the Liu family's side is increasing.

  Liu Huayuan shouted, and all the members of the Liu family who were at the second level of the pre-heavenly realm immediately pulled out one person and rushed to Gu Chen's place. These cultivators' cultivation levels ranged from the second layer of the pre-heavenly realm to the fifth layer, with nearly twenty people in total.

  And also, one of the three elders of the Liu family, who were fighting against Gu Xian and San Lao, was pulled out and turned to attack Gu Chen, it was exactly Liu Huayang whom Liu Huayuan had shouted.

  A cultivator of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm, a cultivator of the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm, and nearly twenty cultivators of the Second to Fifth Layers of the Innate Realm all rushed towards Gu Chen together.

  Although each of the cultivators was not as powerful as Gu Chen, there were so many of them, and there were also cultivators at the sixth and seventh levels of the Innate Realm. Even a ninth-level Innate Realm cultivator would have to retreat in the face of such a large-scale attack.

  But... Gu Chen did not retreat.

  Suddenly, a black cloak appeared on Gu Chen's body. Gu Chen's speed suddenly surged, and his power was so strong that even the cultivators at the early stage of Xiantian couldn't see his body, only leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

  Speed... speed to the extreme.

  More than twenty congenital realm cultivators joined forces to launch a single attack, but even a ninth-layer congenital realm cultivator couldn't withstand it. However, with speed approaching its limit, Gu Chen would never engage in a fierce battle with anyone...

  In the early stages of Xiantian, cultivators like Gu Chen were just a residual shadow. Before they could even see his body, only a fleeting shadow was visible, followed by a chill on the back of their necks. It wasn't until they looked down that they realized their heads had fallen off!

  Gu Chen's speed was too fast, these monks were beheaded, without feeling any pain, just a cool neck, after the head and body separated, it would take two breaths to die.

  The Qinglie sword in Gu Chen's hand was like the scythe of the god of death, and when he saw that everyone had surrounded him, he made a swift decision to temporarily spare Gu Cangyue, the most formidable enemy, and instead targeted the early-stage Xiantian cultivators.

  The cultivators in the early stages of Xiantian Realm were far inferior to Gu Chen's cultivation, and they could be killed with just one sword strike, not even having time to react, their heads would roll off easily.

  However, if left unattended, they would be as annoying as flies. Perhaps when Gu Chen and Gu Cang Yue were fighting, these flies would suddenly bite them, so Gu Chen had to eliminate all the flies first before dealing with Gu Cang Yue.

  The Liu family cultivators who came to the ancient town, had more than ten people in the second and third layers of the Pre-Heavenly realm, but only six or seven people in the fourth and fifth layers. After all, the higher the level, the fewer the number.

  The cultivators of the Second and Third Layers of the Innate Realm couldn't even see Gu Chen's body clearly, how could they resist? In just a few breaths' time, three or four of them had already died at Gu Chen's hands.

  Every dead monk had his entire head severed by a single sword stroke, with the wound clean and neat, like the edge of a bowl.

  Gu Chen was like a god of war from ancient times, every time he made a move, he would take away a life.

  Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...

  Gu Chen's speed was so fast that it had reached an extreme, the attacks of the Liu family's cultivator did not hit his body once, but instead every time he drew his sword, a head would fly high into the air.

  "Liu Huayuan... I will annihilate your entire family." Gu Chen's voice, like the chanting of a primordial god, fell into the ears of every Liu family cultivator.

  Liu Huayuan's heart skipped a beat, no, this time he was greatly mistaken, he had provoked Gu Chen, an enemy, for no reason, and led the Liu family to a dead end.

  "Everyone gather together, don't disperse......" Seeing one after another of the cultivators die at Gu Chen's hands, Liu Huayang loudly shouted.

  However, a sudden finger seal made him stop in his tracks. The finger seal was like the sun shining brightly, dazzling to the point of being unbearable to look at. Liu Huayang conjured up layers of whip shadows with all his might, barely blocking the finger seal. But before he could catch his breath, a sword seal flashed by, and a cultivator in the Second Layer of the Innate Realm beside him was instantly split into two halves.

  "Ah...... Yan Er." Liu Huayang's mournful roar.

  This was Liu Huayang's son, the third person from the Liu family to take the stage at the Three Families Gathering, a Second-Order Innate cultivator. Just as Liu Huayang rushed to Liu Yan's side, intending to protect him, in an instant, his previously living son had turned into a mutilated corpse with blood and flesh scattered everywhere.

  "Today I will start a massacre, let the Liu family know what it means to have rivers of blood flow!" Another person was killed, and Gu Chen's cold voice rang out again.

  The Liu family's faces were filled with painful expressions, Gu Chen's voice was like a sharp knife, piercing their hearts and making them fearful. No one knew who would be Gu Chen's next target...

  More than a dozen breaths of time, the more than a dozen Xiantian realm early-stage cultivators who came to kill Gu Chen had all turned into corpses, lying on the ground, some with only their heads gone, others with their entire bodies split in two...

  The ones besieging Gu Chen are now down to eight people. There's one Gu Cang Yue, one Liu Hua Yang, and the other six have cultivations of two at the fifth layer of the Pre-Heavenly realm and four at the fourth layer of the Pre-Heavenly realm.

  The cultivators at the initial stage of Xiantian have all been killed. Next, it's time to take down the cultivators at the fourth layer of Xiantian.

  Gu Chen's body suddenly stopped ten zhang away from the crowd, his hand holding the Qingli sword pointing to the left front, coldly saying: "Liu Baisheng, it's your turn..."

  Gu Chen's gaze was like a sharp awl, instantly nailed to Liu Baisheng's body. Gu Chen's voice fell into Liu Baisheng's ears, like the roar of an evil spirit, making him terrified.

  "Dad......" Liu Baisheng instinctively shouted at the critical moment.

  "It's no use shouting at anyone..."

  The green sword's aura burst forth, nearly ten feet in length. The sword energy exploded out dozens of feet away, a gigantic illusory giant sword shot up into the sky, tearing through the darkness and piercing the void...

  Immediately, Gu Chen's arm chopped down, and the Qingli sword drew out a ray of light, like a light curtain, as if it had split the entire night sky in two, and fiercely chopped towards Liu Baisheng.

  "Transform... save the hundred lives." Liu Huayuan hastily shouted, earlier he had held back Gu Cangyun, now he was also being held back by Gu Cangyun, for a moment unable to break free.

  Gu Chen swung his sword down, and Gu Cang Yue was overjoyed instead of worried. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, let's work together to see if he can withstand our combined attack."

  Four congenital fourth-order, two congenital fifth-order, one congenital sixth-order, and one congenital seventh-order. The combined attack of these eight cultivators would even cause a ninth-order congenital cultivator to be injured by the backlash.

  Everyone listened and acted together, each exerting their full strength. The magic weapons all flew towards Gu Chen's sword aura and exploded.

  At this moment, Gu Chen smiled strangely and suddenly abandoned the Qingli Sword. As everyone launched an attack on the Qingli Sword at the same time, his body swayed and he rushed towards the crowd. He pointed forward with both hands, and two dazzling finger seals emerged from his left and right index fingers.

  "Bad......" Liu Huayang exclaimed, and everyone's face changed color at the same time.

  All that could be heard was a loud clang, as everyone's attacks simultaneously struck Qing Lian Jian. The sword's aura instantly dissipated, like a kite with its string cut, and it flew tens of meters away before being embedded into the ground, still vibrating loudly.

  However, Gu Chen's speed was incredibly fast, and in just an instant, he had already arrived in front of everyone, with his Surprising Finger already pointing out.

  Before anyone could react, Gu Cang Yue kicked off with both legs and flashed to the side, becoming the first to escape. Immediately after, everyone else scattered in all directions. However, Gu Chen's Surprising Immortal Finger had already locked onto two people.

  Both were cultivators of the Innate Fourth Layer, and the one on the right was none other than Liu Baisheng, the young master of the Liu family and the future heir to the clan's leadership.

  Liu Huayang was shocked and forcibly stopped his fleeing body, pulling Liu Baisheng behind him, and punched Gu Chen...

  Pfft...

  Gu Chen's left hand pointed at the monk's forehead and pierced through his brain instantly.

  At the same time, his right hand finger guard also came into contact with Liu Huayang's fist. Could Liu Huayang's physical body withstand the surprise attack of the Finger Guard? His fist was struck by the Finger Guard and instantly dissipated. The Finger Guard was like a drill, and in an instant it had entered Liu Huayang's fist. A blood hole immediately appeared, from Liu Huayang's palm to his shoulder.
