Chapter 415 321
Gu Chen, clad in black, with sword-brows and starry eyes, was tall and had well-defined, sharp facial features that gave him a strikingly three-dimensional appearance.
He stood there with crystal-clear hair and skin as white and smooth as suet jade, calm and collected, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.
As the command was given by Xu Qing, the young master of the Arsenal, and Yuan Zixun, the heir of the Mysterious Pill Workshop, more than a dozen martial artists burst out from behind them in an instant.
Each of these individuals had reached the Hundred Orifices Stage, with even four late-stage martial artists among them. Their orifices shone brightly, and they approached Gu Chen with smirking faces.
"Do you really want to start a war with Da Xia?!" Lu Chang's complexion darkened as he saw this, fiercely positioning Gu Chen behind himself.
Now that Gu Chen had opened fifty-five orifices throughout his body, the hidden potential deep within his muscles was unleashed. His physique was extraordinary, having long surpassed indestructible body, on the path of physical sanctification, signifying the initial formation of a precious body.
Therefore, at that moment, Gu Chen's aura was entirely retracted into his flesh, including his vast vitality. None of the martial artists present could discern his true strength.
Xu Qing replied to Lu Chang, with a disdainful smile, "Start a war with Da Xia?"
Yuan Zixun also looked at Gu Chen and Lu Chang with mocking eyes, showing no regard for either of them, his gaze unrestrained and wild, his smile extremely ostentatious.
The martial artists from various forces watching this scene shook their heads, privately thinking that today would be the downfall of Gu Chen and Lu Chang.
Since the disappearance of the Summer Emperor, Da Xia's deterrence had long since weakened. Moreover, the Arsenal and the Mysterious Pill Workshop, backed by the six Holy Lands, had long lost their reverence for the Jing Tian Department and Da Xia.
"I'll hold them off, you find a chance to escape quickly," Lu Chang whispered.
He knew that Gu Chen had extraordinary talent, and there was a great possibility that he could achieve the Innate Realm in the future, just like a Garrison Commander, capable of helping Da Xia defend its territory.
If such a person were to die, it would be a tremendous loss for the current state of Da Xia. Thus, Lu Chang was willing to risk injury or even death to ensure Gu Chen's safety.
Gu Chen and Lu Chang had met each other only a few times and Gu Chen himself had not expected Lu Chang to make such a move.
Gu Chen was just about to speak when Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun preempted him, their cold voices commanding, "Take these two down!"
As their words fell, the two released the aura of complete mastery of the Hundred Orifices Stage, with ninety-one orifices shining bright, jointly suppressing Lu Chang.
Instantly, Lu Chang's expression changed as he felt his body heave, his strength dropping by a full thirty percent.
"Run!"
With a roar from Lu Chang, he bravely charged forward despite the perilous situation.
"Seeking death!"
The dozen of Hundred Orifices Stage martial artists from the Arsenal and the Mysterious Pill Workshop sneered, ready to encircle Lu Chang.
But at that moment, Gu Chen reached out and put his hand on Lu Chang's shoulder, halting him in his place.
Lu Chang was taken aback and looked at Gu Chen incredulously.
"Big brother Lu, just stand aside and watch. Let me deal with them," Gu Chen said softly, his eyes filled with intense confidence.
Lu Chang, deeply puzzled, scrutinized Gu Chen, feeling as if the hand on his shoulder weighed over ten thousand pounds. Despite his own complete mastery of the Hundred Orifices Stage, he found himself completely unable to move.
He suspected that if Gu Chen exerted even a slight force, he might be able to crush his entire arm.
"You..." Lu Chang looked at Gu Chen, momentarily unsure of his actual strength.
But seeing the conviction and dazzling brightness in Gu Chen's eyes, he eventually nodded, choosing to trust him.
"Be very careful," Lu Chang said gravely.
He had resolved that if Gu Chen faced any danger, he would risk his own life to ensure Gu Chen's safe departure.
A three-zhang-long azure dragon with bared fangs and claws rose from behind Gu Chen, soaring through the clouds and striking out.
Pfft pfft pfft!
In just a single encounter, the over a dozen warriors from the Arsenal and Mysterious Pill Workshop, including those in the later stages of the Hundred Orifices Stage, were all destroyed by the dragon's tail lash. Their bodies burst apart, sending blood and viscera flying everywhere.
This sight stunned countless onlookers!
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief!
Even Su Du nearby was taken aback. He knew that Gu Chen was exceptionally strong and wouldn't be at a disadvantage, but he did not expect that in such a short time of absence, Gu Chen's strength had reached such a level.
"The Spirit Essence Fruit, he must have consumed all of it!"
Su Du had a sudden realization, understanding why Gu Chen's strength had improved so rapidly. His fists clenched tightly, his face filled with resentment, for it was supposed to be his chance, but it had been snatched away by Gu Chen who appeared out of nowhere.
He thought about making a move but held back because Su Du knew that now, he was no longer a match for Gu Chen.
Su Du had this intuition: if he were to provoke Gu Chen any further, he would surely die!
Lu Chang too was looking at this scene in shock, never having imagined that Gu Chen could possess such strength.
Gu Chen, tall and well-built, emitted a faint glow. As he stood there, his hair drifted slightly, and he calmly took steps toward the distant Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun.
"Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"
At that moment, Gu Chen's eyes gleamed brilliantly, his gaze lofty, his expression utterly cold—the surrounding people were as if nothing to him. He uttered these five words to the Arsenal's Xu Qing and the Mysterious Pill Workshop's Yuan Zixun.
With a boom, at that moment, the three-zhang-long azure dragon's figure in mid-air flashed, charging at Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun.
"How dare you be so presumptuous!"
At that moment, three or four grandmasters in the Hundred Orifices Stage, who had opened eighty-two orifices, stepped forward from behind the two men. Their bodies surged with powerful energies, robust and strong, as they also moved to strike Gu Chen.
"I admit I was shortsighted and underestimated your strength, but you are alone, and we have an army. What can you possibly do against us!"
Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun had recovered from their shock and, seeing Gu Chen charging at them, their faces were contorted with viciousness.
The crowd of onlookers watched intently, wanting to know how Gu Chen would deal with three or four full-fledged martial arts grandmasters at the Hundred Orifices Stage.
As Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun said, the Arsenal and Mysterious Pill Workshop had vast resources with many people at their command, but Gu Chen was alone. How could he contend with them?
Could his strength overpower so many at the complete Hundred Orifices Stage?
Without a word, Gu Chen responded to everyone with his astounding power.
Boom!
The resonant sound of the dragon's roar rose again, and as Gu Chen clenched into a fist seal, at that moment, no fewer than eight azure dragons charged out from between his fingers.
The Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength swept away everything!
At that moment, under the augmentation of the millennia-aged Great Sun Divine Gang within him, the Eight Desolate Azure Dragon Strength, a Superior Martial Skill that had been fully mastered, exhibited peak prowess in Gu Chen's hands.
A fatal blow, and with a soft thud, the grandmasters from the Arsenal and Mysterious Pill Workshop at the peak of the Hundred Orifices Stage, like those before them, were obliterated without even a chance to scream. They were torn asunder by the eight dragons, disintegrated into dust.
Gu Chen stood amidst the rain of blood, untainted. His body shone, his hair sparkled, and his eyes were sharp as blades, like a great demon lord, he gazed at Xu Qing and Yuan Zixun.
"You say you have an army? Very well, today I stand here to slaughter all of your so-called army, cleanly and thoroughly!"
