Chapter 825: Your Plan Failed!

Chapter 825: Chapter 825: Your Plan Failed!

"Impossible!"

Gu Baiyuan looked at Yang Qi with shock and said, "This can’t be! You’re merely an eighth-rank overlord, and I’m an overlord peak. How can you be so strong!"

He was a full two levels higher than Yang Qi, yet he was repelled by a single sword strike from Yang Qi. He couldn’t accept this fact.

"Your combat power is even inferior to Leng Xue’s."

Yang Qi shook his head. With just one encounter, he could gauge this old man’s combat prowess accurately.

Both were overlord peaks, yet Gu Baiyuan was far behind Leng Xue.

Leng Xue was the gatekeeper of the Martial Arts Overlord List; being inferior meant Gu Baiyuan would never make it on the list.

Yang Jushan was even worse, not being a match for Gu Baiyuan at all.

The disparity between overlord peaks was quite significant.

"Damn it! You’re truly a monster. If I don’t kill you, the Gu Family is bound to decline, or worse, face total annihilation."

Gu Baiyuan regretted provoking Yang Qi.

But now that he had made his move, he couldn’t afford any hesitation; he had to go all out to eliminate Yang Qi.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from within Gu Baiyuan; it turned out he too wielded the power of the Gu Insect, yet it seemed much weaker than the ones from Lin Madman and Old Man Wei.

This must have been gifted to Gu Baiyuan by the Gu Spirit.

Rather than personally given by the Gu King.

So while there was an enhancement in combat power, it wasn’t much.

At most, it elevated Gu Baiyuan’s combat prowess to the level of Leng Xue.

Even so, it was horrifying.

With the burst of combat power, Gu Baiyuan felt completely confident.

The long sword in his hand shot forward, a sword light brimming with scorching flames, thrusting toward Yang Qi.

"What a pity, your plan is good, but to encounter me — that’s truly your misfortune! Golden Thunder Slash!"

Yang Qi unleashed a sword strike.

The terrifying Golden Thunder instantly shattered the flaming Sword Qi.

It let out a terrifying rumbling sound.

Repelling Gu Baiyuan once again.

"How can this be! Why! The Gu Spirit clearly stated I could possess combat power worthy of the Martial Arts Overlord List! But why do I lose to someone like you!

I can’t accept this!

Die!"

Gu Baiyuan crazily erupted his aura, blood streaming down from his nostrils, with his eyes bleeding as well — such a frightening sight.

But it was futile; the gap in combat power between the two was disastrously wide. Despite Gu Baiyuan’s madness, he couldn’t compensate for this enormous disadvantage.

Yang Qi shook his head and sent forth another sword strike.

Five Elements Sword Art, White Tiger Thunder!

Instantly, a white light slashed out, accompanied by the roar of a White Tiger.

The next moment, a sword light not only shattered the treasured sword in Gu Baiyuan’s hand but also penetrated his body.

Splurt!

Gu Baiyuan stared dumbfounded at the wound on his chest, utterly bewildered.

How could Yang Qi be so strong!

How could his plan fail!

Until his end, he couldn’t understand!

Thus, he tragically fell to the ground, never to rise again.

He went to great lengths to seize the Secret Realm treasure of Yang Family Village, plotting against Yang Qi, yet he failed completely and lost his life in the process.

"Gu Baiyuan is dead. Do you still wish to resist?"

Yang Qi shouted.

The martial artists of the Gu Family were in chaos.

"Old Gu is dead, flee!"

"Run away!"

At this point, the members of the Gu Family lost all will to fight, scattering in all directions.

However, Xue Mu and others were unwilling to let them escape.

Wang Zhenren and Undying Barbarian King also pursued them fiercely.

Determined not to let these people escape.

If Yang Qi hadn’t been there today, they might all have perished here, so they wouldn’t allow these individuals to flee easily.

Yang Qi sneered, "Gu Family, I thought our affairs were settled, but unexpectedly, you’ve dared to plot against me. In this case, you must pay the price!"

Swoosh!

Yang Qi’s figure flickered, lunging toward the leading fighters of the Gu Family.

Eliminate these people, and the Gu Family would be utterly broken.

Never again could they pose a threat to him.

Slice!

Slash!

The so-called experts of the Gu Family, even the strongest were just fifth-rank overlords, truly powerless before Yang Qi. A single sword strike, and all perished on the scene.

After dispatching these individuals, Yang Qi didn’t continue attacking but instead found two more three-hundred-year Nine-section Calamus from Gu Baiyuan’s body.

This item, he wouldn’t mind taking.

At this time, the battle was winding down; in the alliance of Sea City, Su Mansion, Jingnan Prefecture, and Yang Family Village, members of the Gu Family were wiped out with none surviving.

The mountain path was suffused with a pungent stench of blood.

This battle ended in total defeat for the Gu Family.

It’s as if the Gu Family’s last foundation was utterly lost.

Gu Baiyuan, who always played the pig to eat the tiger, was slain by Yang Qi, suffering complete defeat indeed.

"Young man, thank you for your help. Had it not been for you, Yang Family Village would have been in danger! How should I address you?"

Yang Jushan approached, bowing.

He was truly grateful.

This time, Gu Baiyuan was thoroughly prepared; if not for Yang Qi, they would’ve faced overwhelming trouble.

Possibly even total annihilation.

The entire Yang Family Village ought to thank Yang Qi.

"I’m named Yang Qi, sir. You’re too kind; I was simply enraged by the Gu Family’s deception against us."

Yang Qi waved his hand dismissively.

"You’re named Yang Qi!"

Yang Jushan suddenly grew excited.

"What, do you know me?"

Yang Qi was momentarily stunned.

He didn’t recall knowing anyone in Su Mansion, even if they shared the same surname Yang, he was unfamiliar.

"Of course I know; your father is Immortal Master Qingshan, isn’t he?"

Yang Jushan smiled.

"You know my dad?"

Yang Qi was excited.

"More than knowing; it’s the Secret Realm here that Immortal Master Qingshan left behind. We are people he saved long ago, countless years; our duty is to guard this Secret Realm.

The master instructed that his son named Yang Qi would certainly come here, for us to protect until your arrival."

Yang Jushan said.

"He actually knew I would come? What if I didn’t?"

Yang Qi asked.

"If you didn’t come, we would live here for generations until you did. But Immortal Master Qingshan was indeed a true immortal; his prophecies are never wrong. He said you would come, so naturally, you’d come — and you have, haven’t you?"

Yang Jushan smiled, "As expected, the master’s words were true. As soon as you appeared, we recognized you, for you resemble the Immortal Master so much.

I didn’t notice during the battle, but now it’s obvious."

"Unexpectedly, he even left such a thing for me. Did he mention his destination?"

Yang Qi asked again.

"That is unknown; Immortal Master Qingshan was a true immortal, enigmatic. We, mere mortals, how could we know."

Yang Jushan shook his head, "But the Immortal Master did mention one place, that is the Heavenly God Sect. If you’re fortunate enough to go to the Heavenly God Sect someday, you might find clues about the Immortal Master."
