The people in the hall all showed happy expressions.

They still had great trust in Yunzhou’s number one prodigy Qi Baiyu, who was on par with Sword One and was known as one of the two great talents of Yunzhou. Moreover, Qi Baiyu had always overshadowed Sword One.

Now, Qi Baiyu has broken through two stages in one day,

It is undoubtedly inevitable. He is also qualified to maintain his position as Yunzhou’s number one expert. Even if pulled down, he wouldn’t be separated too far from Sword One.

Such a master to deal with Gu Zhan indeed reassured them. Furthermore, there’s Lu Yuan Dao’s assistance in the Martial World. The advantage in this battle is with Lu Yuan Dao!

Song Lingjun, smiling, said, "Everyone, now we only need to..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, at that moment,

A loud noise suddenly came from Danyang Mountain, and at the same time, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended. In the east direction, a shroud of killing intent filled the sky, transformed into thick clouds, covering the entire mountain forest, showing terrifying might.

A voice that resonated through the mountains:

"I, Gu Zhan, have come to offer my congratulations,

Wishing Sect Leader Song an early ascension to bliss!"

The overwhelming voice echoed throughout the Danyang Mountain Range, with a momentum like a rainbow, surging over like a vast ocean, filling the sky, covering the mountains, and overwhelming the souls with trembling fear.

Even Song Lingjun and others deep inside the main hall of Danyang Sect felt the pressure. Everyone was shocked and quickly rose, flying out of the hall.

Soon, everyone arrived at the mountain gate square of Danyang Mountain.

At this moment, chaos reigned in the square,

With numerous disciples of Danyang Sect densely gathered,

The mountain gate that had stood for hundreds of years had collapsed, with only one pillar remaining in the middle. Standing on that stone pillar was none other than Gu Zhan.

Clad in fluttering black clothes, his cape dancing with the wind, donning a black feather crown, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were filled with disdain for the world. A terrifying aura emanated from him, stirring up gales between heaven and earth.

Beneath the stone pillar lay the ruins of Danyang Mountain’s gate, with the inscription of the three large characters ’Danyang Mountain’ shattered on the ground. Surrounding remnants lay multiple Danyang Sect disciples, broken limbs and severed arms scattered about, some moaning in pain.

Seeing this, Song Lingjun instantly burned with anger, loudly rebuking, "Gu Zhan, what do you mean by this, destroying my mountain gate and harming my disciples? Are you bent on relentless conflict?"

Standing on the stone pillar, Gu Zhan waved his cape and said coldly, "Today, I’m here only to deliver a gift!"

As soon as the words fell,

Gu Zhan waved his hand, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in the sky, quickly flying towards Danyang Sect’s mountain gate with a speed so fast it was hard to capture with the naked eye. As the shadow drew near, everyone saw clearly that it was a black coffin.

Gu Zhan dragged the coffin with one hand, stomping down with his foot, causing the stone pillar to explode instantly, with countless flying stones scattering around him. He soared into the air, quickly flying into the square amidst numerous Danyang Sect disciples, his hand dragging the coffin as it slammed upright into the ground.

"Boom"

A loud noise echoed, with a huge wave of air spreading all around like a tidal wave, countless stone bricks were lifted and hurled at the surrounding Danyang Sect disciples. Instantly, within two or three yards, all Danyang Sect disciples were flung away, many perished without having the chance to dodge.

"Song Lingjun,"

Gu Zhan looked at Song Lingjun and said sternly, "Are you going to crawl into this coffin yourself, or shall I put you in it!"

"Gu Zhan!"

Song Lingjun angrily shouted, "Do you want to incite Martial Arts disputes? Do you want to become a public enemy of the Martial Arts world?"

Gu Zhan glanced at Song Lingjun and said plainly, "It seems you’re not prepared to go in willingly, so... I’ll put you in myself!"

Gu Zhan slammed his palm on the coffin,

The coffin lid instantly flew off, crashing directly towards Song Lingjun, filling the sky with terrifying momentum, pressure mounting. Waves of air surged from the coffin lid, its attack power frightening, pulverizing many stone slabs and buildings.

Seeing the coffin lid rushing toward him,

Song Lingjun roared, "Fellow martial artists, Gu Zhan’s treachery incites endless conflict, join in to suppress this villain!"

Before his words had settled,

Song Lingjun drew his sword first, his long sword gleaming, a stream of Sword Qi surged, slicing towards the coffin, in an instant, stones flew, and the coffin lid cracked.

"Kill!"

In an instant, accompanied by Song Lingjun’s shout,

Swarms of Danyang Sect disciples charged, instantly engulfing Gu Zhan in the crowd.

"Hmph!"

Gu Zhan snorted coldly, stomping his foot, a terrifying wave of air erupted from beneath, instantly flinging dozens away, and in that moment, Gu Zhan waved his hand, and in the sky, two Horizontal Sabers, black and white, descended.

Gu Zhan grasped a saber in each hand, and within the blink of an eye, a trail of phantom shadows, one after another, filled the square. In merely moments, screams abruptly ceased, and the dozens of Danyang Sect disciples that had been flung into the air were all sliced in half.

"Pft" "Pft pft..."

Clouds of blood exploded in the air, as though a rain of blood fell.

Yet Gu Zhan did not stop, wielding two Horizontal Sabers, he charged towards Song Lingjun,

In that instant, the densely packed crowd seemed like a white cloth, as Danyang Sect disciples all wore uniform white attire, filling the entire square.
