Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Fall of the Martial King’s Mansion
"Junior Sister Ling!"
Five Golden Core Stage disciples swiftly swooped down.
Facing the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul Stage, Yao Xuanling was utterly unable to withstand it.
If she hadn’t been thrown far by Gu Chenfeng earlier, creating some distance, this terrifying energy fluctuation would have surely cost her life on the spot.
"Indeed, the Early Stage of the Golden Core!" Brother Zhou frowned and muttered, "This power is indeed the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power of the Nascent Soul Stage. What secret technique did this kid perform?"
In this direct clash, Brother Zhou didn’t gain any advantage.
Brother Zhou frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you targeting the Martial King’s Mansion?"
"You don’t deserve to know." Gu Chenfeng replied without any expression.
Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute Spiritual Power exerted absolute suppression.
Even though Brother Zhou was at the Nascent Soul Stage, even stronger than the Martial King, his spiritual power was still being suppressed at this moment.
"So strong!" A disciple frowned and said, "He truly possesses Nascent Soul Stage power, otherwise he couldn’t possibly fend off Brother Zhou’s attack."
"This guy is too strong!" A disciple exclaimed in shock, "The Early Stage of the Golden Core, how can he be this powerful? Could it be related to his Ice Attribute?"
A disciple was very certain and said, "This definitely isn’t his power, just like Junior Brother Mu just said, it must be the power of some unconventional means."
He’d rather believe a sow could climb a tree than believe that Gu Chenfeng at the Golden Core Stage truly possessed Nascent Soul Stage power.
"Buzz buzz!"
An extremely domineering and terrifying Ice Attribute Spiritual Power erupted from Gu Chenfeng’s body, freezing the ground underfoot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Such domineering Ice Attribute Spiritual Power! He’s forcibly suppressing my Fire Attribute! What kind of Ice Attribute is this? It’s unbelievably terrifying!" Brother Zhou thought in shock, a strong sense of apprehension surfacing in his heart.
Brother Zhou had encountered Ice Attribute Cultivators before, but never one as terrifying as Gu Chenfeng.
Brother Zhou didn’t have much time to think, decisively retreating.
"Quickly take Junior Sister Ling away!" Brother Zhou shouted immediately.
The terrifying cold air of the Ice Attribute spread wildly, freezing everything it touched.
Less than ten seconds.
The square at the Martial King’s Mansion was already frozen, and the terrifying cold air was spreading quickly.
The buildings around the Martial King’s Mansion also began to freeze.
The soldiers of the Martial King’s Mansion, always in fear and despair, were scared desperately fleeing.
The Golden Core Stage experts directly controlled their swords to escape.
"No one from the Martial King’s Mansion can escape." Gu Chenfeng said without expression, then waved his hand, sending a series of terrifying Ice Swords shooting out.
The Golden Core Stage generals of the Martial King’s Mansion were swiftly wiped out, none of them managing to escape.
The panicking soldiers and the leader Eagle were also turned into ice sculptures in an instant; in front of absolute power, they were no different from ants.
In less than a minute.
The entire Martial King’s Mansion was frozen, filled with a bone-chilling cold air.
"What terrifying Ice Attribute Spiritual Power!"
"Look, everyone! The Martial King’s Mansion has been frozen!"
On the streets outside the Martial King’s Mansion, numerous cultivators watched, dumbfounded, their expressions full of deep fear.
When they felt the terrifying cold air spreading, they all fled in terror.
High above.
Brother Zhou and the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, all wore stunned faces as they looked at the Martial King’s Mansion below.
"What kind of Ice Attribute is this? It’s unbelievably terrifying!"
"I’ve never seen such a terrifying Ice Attribute; the entire Martial King’s Mansion was frozen, and all those soldiers are dead."
"His Ice Attribute is indeed incredibly terrifying, beyond my imagination." Brother Zhou frowned, even though it was just a direct clash of a single palm, he could clearly perceive the terrifying nature of Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute.
"Brother Zhou, can you be confident in defeating him?" asked a disciple.
"No!" Brother Zhou shook his head, "Whether or not it’s unconventional power, this Ice Attribute is too terrifying, without the strength of the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, it’s impossible to deal with him."
"Middle Stage of Nascent Soul?" Yao Xuanling was dumbfounded.
Doesn’t this mean that Gu Chenfeng’s strength is already capable of fighting the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul?
The massive blow once again sent Yao Xuanling into a deep abyss.
"What do we do now?" a disciple asked unwillingly. "He killed Junior Brother Mu, shouldn’t we just let him go?"
"Let’s report back to the Sect Leader first." Brother Zhou frowned, though he was also very unwilling, Gu Chenfeng’s power made him feel helpless.
The group didn’t pause, immediately controlling their swords to leave.
Without absolute confidence in dealing with Gu Chenfeng, it was wasteful to stay; it was better to report back and find another way to handle Gu Chenfeng.
"At last, I’ve driven them away." Gu Chenfeng let out a sigh of relief, his face abruptly turning pale.
The frantic battle, along with heedless activation of his Ice Attribute to freeze the Martial King’s Mansion, almost exhausted Gu Chenfeng’s spiritual power.
If Brother Zhou hadn’t been scared off, who would win and who would lose this battle, would have been hard to say.
With his great vendetta finally avenged, Gu Chenfeng took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it, then used the Shadow of Space to flash away.
The frozen Martial King’s Mansion was exceptionally quiet.
No one knew how much time passed, but the frozen Martial King’s Mansion suddenly collapsed.
The Martial King’s Mansion was utterly destroyed.
...
Deep in the mountains.
Gu Chenfeng found a secluded cave and then entered the Returning Ruins Illusion Realm.
This battle had left Gu Chenfeng with only minor injuries, but his spiritual power was greatly depleted.
"My great vendetta has been avenged, now I can cultivate peacefully." Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, "If the Heavenly Dao Sect wants revenge, they’ll probably not have the guts then."
The Heavenly Dao Sect might be powerful, but Gu Chenfeng felt no fear at all.
With that, Gu Chenfeng sat down to cultivate.
An hour later.
The news of the Martial King’s assassination and the destruction of the Martial King’s Mansion spread quickly.
Celestial Wave City.
"Earth-shattering news! Earth-shattering news! The Martial King has been killed!"
A person suddenly rushed into Celestial Wave City, running quickly along the street while shouting loudly.
"The Martial King was killed?"
"Did I hear that right? How can this be? In the Celestial Fire Kingdom, apart from the Monarch, who can kill the Martial King?"
"Nonsense, I heard the Martial King broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he’s one of our Celestial Fire Kingdom’s top experts, how could he be killed?"
No one on the streets believed it.
Soon after.
Another person rushed into Celestial Wave City, shouting loudly, "Something happened! Big news! Just now, the Martial King was killed! Everyone at the Martial King’s Mansion has been killed!"
"No way? Was the Martial King really killed?"
"How is that possible? Who has the capability to kill the Martial King?"
"Could it be true?"
Hearing the news again, the people of Celestial Wave City were already half-believing.
But before long, numerous cultivators entered Celestial Wave City, all shouting the news of the Martial King’s assassination.
At that moment.
Only then did the cultivators in Celestial Wave City begin to believe.
The news of the Martial King’s assassination and the destruction of the Martial King’s Mansion quickly reached the Xiang Family.
"The Martial King was killed?" The Patriarch of the Xiang Family was shocked and incredulous.
"Was the Martial King’s Mansion destroyed? That can’t be!" The elders of the Xiang Family were dumbfounded.
A clan member respectfully reported, "The news is true; everyone in the city is spreading it, saying it was a young man who did it."
"A young man?" Xiang Wentian’s expression suddenly changed dramatically.
