Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Are You Even Human?
"Early Stage of Golden Core is like an ant before him, how can he possess such formidable strength?"
"How can the Celestial Fire Kingdom have such a young Golden Core stage cultivator?"
"Who exactly is he? Why does the Martial King want to capture him alive?"
The Huo Patriarch became increasingly fearful the more he thought, already in a state of panic.
Everyone in the Xiang Family, faces full of shock and terror, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.
Even seeing it with their own eyes, they could not believe Gu Chenfeng instantly defeated three Golden Core stage cultivators.
Such formidable strength was beyond their imagination.
It was only now they truly realized, Gu Chenfeng was never underestimating them, but rather possessed absolute power.
Gu Chenfeng didn’t even consider these Golden Core stage individuals worth his attention.
"You run pretty fast, huh." Gu Chenfeng, holding the Spirit Sword, pointed at the Huo Patriarch from a distance, sneering coldly: "As the Patriarch, and a Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator, are you that afraid of death?"
Upon hearing Gu Chenfeng’s mockery, the Huo Patriarch’s face turned sullen, his muscles twitching violently.
When had the dignified Patriarch of the Huo Family ever been ridiculed and insulted by a junior like this?
With fierce eyes glaring at Gu Chenfeng, the Huo Patriarch frowned and thought to himself: "One sword can slay an Early Stage of Golden Core, this kid’s strength and speed far surpass mine, he could kill a Patriarch like me with just one sword."
Gu Chenfeng’s speed and strength were both above his own, making it very difficult for the Huo Patriarch to escape.
But he couldn’t just submit to death either.
After all, the Huo Family’s Elder and Fasting Stage clansmen were all in the Xiang Family Mansion.
"Great Elder, I will hold off this youth, you must leave Celestial Wave City immediately," the Huo Patriarch transmitted a message and then exerted his full effort to activate Wood Attribute Spiritual Power.
Hearing the Huo Patriarch’s transmission, the faces of the Huo Family Elders changed dramatically.
"Buzz Buzz!"
The intense Wood Attribute burst forth with full force, enveloping his body in a cyan luminescence, causing the courtyard ground to tremble and crack into tiny webs.
The Huo Patriarch leaped off the ground and soared, infusing Wood Attribute Spiritual Power into the Spirit Sword, the blade radiating a dazzling cyan glow, brimming with immense power.
Behind the Huo Patriarch, a formation spanning several meters in size appeared, spreading a terrifying aura.
"This is..." Xiang Yan’s face changed suddenly, shouting urgently: "Little brother, be careful! This is the Huo old man’s trump card, he can absorb the surrounding Wood Attribute Spiritual Power!"
"Absorb Wood Attribute Spiritual Power?" Gu Chenfeng was slightly surprised.
Indeed.
With the emergence of the cyan formation, the Wood Attribute in the plants and trees around the Xiang Family began transforming into streams of cyan light flying toward the formation.
The Huo Patriarch’s aura was constantly increasing at this moment.
In less than a minute, the Huo Patriarch’s aura had soared to the peak of the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
"Middle Stage of Golden Core peak!" Xiang Yan and the Elders exclaimed.
"How is this possible?" Xiang Wentian exclaimed with a horrified expression: "What kind of technique is this that can enhance such formidable power?"
"Spiritual power has increased considerably." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, without any change in his expression.
Mere Middle Stage of Golden Core peak still wasn’t worth his notice.
Even the Late Stage of Golden Core didn’t faze Gu Chenfeng in the slightest.
"Spiritual Technique! Wood Emperor Profound Celestial Sword!" the Huo Patriarch shouted fiercely, as the cyan formation exploded into brilliant cyan light, consolidating a terrifying force.
Soon after.
A cyan Energy Sword several meters in size formed, enveloped in extremely powerful energy.
The Huo Patriarch glared fiercely at Gu Chenfeng, maliciously saying: "You wretched brat! If you have the guts, face this!"
"Great Elder! Quickly take the clansmen and leave! Depart Celestial Wave City immediately!" the Huo Patriarch transmitted hastily, then viciously slashed down with the sword.
The Huo Family’s Great Elder shouted frantically: "Quick, go!"
The Huo Family clansmen quickly fled without any hesitation.
The Elders and clansmen of the other four families, seeing things went awry, also fled desperately.
Gu Chenfeng did not intervene to stop them; these small fry weren’t worth his effort.
At this moment.
As the Huo Patriarch struck down with the sword, the massive cyan Energy Sword plunged down like a meteor, with destructive momentum rushing toward Gu Chenfeng.
Gu Chenfeng said indifferently: "You seem very confident in your own strength."
The Huo Patriarch sneered mockingly: "Of course, if you’re afraid, you can dodge, but the Xiang Family will fall!"
"Run! Run!" Xiang Yan shouted anxiously, signaling the clansmen to flee.
"Gu Chenfeng! Can you hold it off? If not, dodge now!" Xiang Wentian cried out in panic, his voice trembling, filled with extreme fear.
Gu Chenfeng remained unmoving, as if he hadn’t heard.
When the terrifyingly powerful Energy Sword was about to reach Gu Chenfeng, the Huo Patriarch said chillingly: "Gu Chenfeng! If you don’t die, the Martial King will personally capture you!"
With those words, the Huo Patriarch immediately took off on his sword to escape.
He had given everything to perform this sword strike, its purpose solely to delay Gu Chenfeng, buying time for himself and his clansmen to flee.
For if he didn’t stop Gu Chenfeng, the Huo Patriarch had no chance of escaping.
However.
The Huo Patriarch underestimated Gu Chenfeng’s strength and overestimated his own abilities.
Just as the Huo Patriarch was flying away on his sword.
Gu Chenfeng suddenly burst forth with a domineering Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, instantly freezing the descending Energy Sword.
"What? What kind of Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is this?" The Huo Patriarch’s face drastically changed.
Feeling the terrifying Ice Attribute, the Huo Patriarch couldn’t help but look back, almost scaring himself to death.
Xiang Yan, the Elders, and the clansmen about to flee.
Upon seeing the Energy Sword instantly frozen, they were utterly stunned.
"Old thing, you can’t escape," Gu Chenfeng chuckled coldly.
Under Gu Chenfeng’s control, the frozen Energy Sword turned around and charged toward the Huo Patriarch.
Its power and speed increased several times over.
"What kind of power is this?" Xiang Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment.
"The Energy Sword is under his control!" The Xiang Family Elders were dumbfounded.
What kind of immense power could instantly freeze and control the Huo Patriarch’s Energy Sword?
"Gu Chenfeng! Stop! Don’t kill..." The Huo Patriarch yelled in utter terror, but before he could finish, he would never speak again.
"Boom!"
The domineering Energy Ice Sword mercilessly struck the Huo Patriarch, the horrific power turning him into a cloud of blood mist.
"Patriarch!" The fleeing Huo Family Elders and clansmen cried out in grief.
The Great Elder, enduring the pain, said: "Quick, go!"
Meanwhile.
At the Xiang Family Mansion.
An eerie silence fell, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
All the clansmen were completely petrified, faces filled with shock and terror.
They couldn’t believe at all, that Gu Chenfeng’s Ice Attribute Spiritual Power was terrifying to such an extent.
With a gesture across the air, Gu Chenfeng retrieved all five Patriarchs’ Storage Rings.
Looking at the shock-stricken and petrified Xiang Wentian, Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly: "I don’t need to block it."
"Gu Chenfeng, you... are you still human?" Xiang Wentian asked in terror, swallowing hard, looking at Gu Chenfeng as if he were a monster.
He couldn’t believe, in such a short time of not seeing him, Gu Chenfeng had turned into such a monster.
