Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 156 - 155: Luo River
"Divine punishment?"
"What about you?"
"In the end, didn’t you also abandon those ordinary people? Even the common soldiers who fought to their last breath, you didn’t choose them either?"
Every word from Gu Xiu struck Yan Wen’s heart heavily.
However—
He had no intention of letting him go just like that.
"Rather than saying these people were killed by me, in my view, their lives ultimately ended in your hands!"
"Isn’t that right!"
Instantly, Yan Wen was struck as if by lightning, his face turned pale, and he was in a daze.
A second-grade peak master, at this moment, actually quivered slightly.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a cold snort resounded throughout the hall.
And under this cold snort, Yan Wen slowly returned to normal, his pained heart also became calm, his gaze became resolute once more.
"Gu Xiu, anyone else has the qualification to say such things, but not you, a beast who slaughtered millions in a city, it’s truly laughable that you can utter such words!"
Feng Ri slowly stood up, staring at him intently.
"Oh, I wondered who it was, turns out it’s you, Old Ghost Feng! The righteous army is out of people, sending an old thing like you."
At this moment, Gu Xiu became sarcastic.
"Since you’re not dead, how can I die?" Feng Ri, of course, was unwilling to show weakness.
"Hehe, just stay in this turtle shell, after all, you’ve lived for a thousand years, just an old turtle! You’re familiar with it."
"You...."
Feng Ri looked at him coldly, "Your mouth truly stinks as always!"
"Can’t be bothered to argue with you, old thing!"
Gu Xiu ignored him, starting to form seals with his hands, vast spiritual power surged out.
"Isn’t this a bit ridiculous, a top-grade master like this? Encounter and just bicker?"
Seeing this scene, Ghost Crane was a bit dazed, after all, they’re top-grade masters, how come they’re arguing like shrews! Of course, this was just a thought in his mind, to say it? He wouldn’t dare even if beaten to death!
At this moment, Chen Xuan had no interest in this, his gaze was always fixed on the blood pearls floating above Celestial Water Commandery.
Densely packed, at least eighty or ninety thousand in number.
Suddenly,
A red light appeared on the spire of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, growing increasingly intense.
A strange scene unfolded,
The blood pearls mid-air seemed to be attracted, all flying towards the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.
"Is that...?"
The porcelain bottle is used to collect these blood pearls!
At this moment, Chen Xuan finally understood.
It was all Gu Xiu’s plot, no wonder he didn’t use the Nine Dragons Array, but used this Nine Dust Blood Refining Array, all for these blood pearls.
Though he didn’t know what these were for.
But this allowed him to agree to the Emperor of Great Xia, very likely because of this, only then can he justifiably blood refine the entire Celestial Water Commandery.
The more he thought, the more fear Chen Xuan felt in his heart.
The rulers of Great Xia, these top-grade masters, didn’t regard ordinary people as people at all.
The blood pearls floating in the air grew fewer and fewer, conversely, the spire of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower at this moment shone like a red sun.
After about a time for a cup of tea, all the blood pearls disappeared.
"It’s done!"
Gu Xiu shouted, his expression became excited for the first time.
In an instant,
The dazzling red sun atop the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower vanished, only the blood-red porcelain bottle floated in the air.
"Gu Xiu, you’ll suffer divine punishment!"
Feng Ri said softly at this moment, others might not know, but he did.
This method... is utterly inhumane!
"Nonsense, divine punishment! Look at this sky? If it knew, would it still look like this ghostly state!" Gu Xiu said coldly.
Then he flew towards the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.
Just as he was about to grab the porcelain bottle, suddenly a dark shadow snatched it away first.
"Impudence!"
Gu Xiu roared angrily, a top-grade aura erupted instantly, he struck a palm, a red palm shadow dozens of feet long blasted towards the shadow.
In an instant, the shadow punched out.
"Boom!" A loud bang sounded, the red palm shadow shattered, the shadow appeared in everyone’s sight.
A young man in black clothes, with a handsome face, but with purple hair, even his eyes were purple, extremely peculiar.
Top-grade!
Another top-grade!
At this moment, Chen Xuan swallowed, since when did top-grade become so cheap, appearing one after another.
"Gu Xiu, you don’t deserve this, I just happen to need it, so I’ll take it." The peculiar young man said calmly, not paying the slightest attention to the current furious Gu Xiu.
"You... courting... death!"
Gu Xiu spat out each word slowly, instantly activating the great array.
"Boom!"
A red lightning bolt, ten meters thick, descended from the sky, mixed with terrifying power, striking towards the peculiar man.
"Is this the so-called Blood Refining Array?"
Surprisingly, the man was very calm, looking up at the red lightning.
"Boom!"
It struck the man squarely.
"Hmm?"
In the distance, Chen Xuan slightly raised his eyebrow, something is wrong! This lightning, even if it can’t kill a top-grade, should be uncomfortable.
But he didn’t even move.
The red light dissipated, a book floated above the man’s head, emitting a faint green light protecting him.
"Not bad, but only this much."
The man showed disdain.
"Luo He!"
Gu Xiu’s face suddenly changed, looking at the book with an extremely wary expression.
"Since you’ve made your move, now it’s my turn. Get out of Celestial Water Commandery!"
With a loud shout, he pointed and shot out a stream of Spiritual Power.
"Boom!"
Instinctively, the entire sky began to tremble; the area above "Luo He" rapidly expanded, instantly overshadowing the entire Celestial Water Commandery.
Simultaneously, the four corners of the book emitted four beams of blue light, shooting toward the four blood-red pillars of the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array.
"Don’t even think about it!"
Seeing this, Gu Xiu angrily shouted, controlling the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array to unleash countless bolts of lightning in an attempt to stop the blue light emitted by "Luo He".
But—
The four beams of blue light moved as if unimpeded, not only did they not scatter, but they directly fused with the blood-red lightning, with a hint of red appearing within the blue light.
The blue light directly struck the blood-red pillars.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The four light pillars collapsed with a bang, shattering into fragments that fell from the sky.
As if rain of blood was falling.
"This is bad!"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself, noticing the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array was broken!
"Go!"
He shouted at the nearby Ghost Crane, then his figure disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared beside Ji Keren, without letting her speak, he directly took her towards the South City Gate.
In just a few breaths, before reaching the South City Gate, he shouted, "Feng Zheng, take Jin Cen back! Hurry!"
"Go! Miss!"
Feng Zheng, always by Ye Jincen’s side, though unaware of the situation in Celestial Water Commandery, had seen the towering "Luo He". Seeing Chen Xuan’s urgency, he immediately realized something big happened.
Without any hesitation, he pulled Ye Jincen and flew away.
Just as the four were leaving, they heard Gu Xiu’s shout, "Retreat!"
Suddenly, the entire Great Xia’s army was in disarray. No one expected that Celestial Water Commandery, turned into ruins, was about to be taken, only to hear orders to retreat.
Celestial Water Commandery!
"Hahaha..." The sinister man laughed loudly, extremely arrogant, shouting, "Gu Xiu, why are you running? When did the Champion Marquis become a homeless dog!"
"Don’t run!"
"My ’Luo He’ hasn’t seen grade blood for a long time!"
"You’re courting death!"
The next moment, a ruthless expression appeared in Gu Xiu’s eyes.
He quickly retreated to the edge of Celestial Water Commandery, then sent four streams of Spiritual Power into the arrays of the four city gates, "Explode!"
Gu Xiu, being ruthless, directly detonated the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array, which was his last resort when creating this array.
"Gu Xiu, next time we meet, it will be the day of your demise!"
The sinister man shouted, simultaneously pouring all his Spiritual Power into "Luo He" as if it cost him nothing.
Immediately, "Luo He" produced a bright blue light, fiercely protecting everyone in Celestial Water Commandery.
"Boom!"
The entire ground shook, raising dust several meters high at the four gates. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
A long time later,
The dust settled.
At the four main gates of Celestial Water Commandery, a kilometer-deep trench had appeared.
At this moment, the sinister man stood at the original location of the East City Gate.
His expression was sharp, watching the Great Xia army hurriedly retreating in the distance.
"Young Master Luo, should we pursue them?" At this moment, Yan Wen approached him, asking respectfully.
"No need!"
Luo Tian replied indifferently.
"But...?" Yan Wen looked at the now ruined Celestial Water Commandery and recalled how many soldiers died in Gu Xiu’s array, unable to swallow his anger.
He wanted to kill!
"If you’re not afraid of Gu Xiu, go ahead, I won’t stop you!"
This was the weakest moment for Great Xia’s morale, how could he not know? But without "Luo He", he wouldn’t be Gu Xiu’s opponent.
But "Luo He"... Alas!
He sighed inwardly.
"Let’s go back!"
Yan Wen, despite his reluctance, knew without Luo Tian, charging forward would only lead to death.
....
Great Xia Camp.
Chen Xuan and the others were now inside the tent.
"What exactly happened, what is that book-like thing?"
At this time Feng Zheng couldn’t help but ask, weren’t they winning?
Celestial Water Commandery’s capital had become ruins!
How did things change so quickly?
"’Luo He!’ Have you heard of it?"
"What, ’Luo He’?" Feng Zheng exclaimed in shock.
"Impossible, it’s said this Spiritual Treasure was shattered in the ancient war, how could it appear?" The Spiritual Treasure "Luo He" was top tier even in ancient times, possessing it meant punishment was as easy as drinking water.
"Luo He" is just that perverse!
But he once read scant records in an ancient text, "Luo He" was shattered in the war.
"No idea! But the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array had no effect on ’Luo He’."
"Moreover, you all saw, it broke the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array in an instant!"
Chen Xuan knew defeat was certain the moment the array was broken, and with "Luo He", Gu Xiu couldn’t deal with the sinister man.
Thus, he finally had to detonate the array.
"What now... what should we do?" Having been defeated again, especially by Gu Xiu personally striking!
"No idea! We’ll wait!"
Chen Xuan shook his head but felt something was not right.
