Chapter 138: Chapter 138: True Strength
"Gu Chenfeng! You killed General Wu! The Martial King will never forgive you!"
General Niu roared angrily at Gu Chenfeng while forming hand seals, then shouted, "Spiritual Technique! Celestial Punishment Finger!"
"Whoosh!"
A blood-colored energy shot out as fast as lightning, ruthlessly and relentlessly heading toward Gu Chenfeng with extremely strong attack power.
"Spiritual Technique! Immortal Lock!" General Lin shouted, and chains of energy instantly trapped Gu Chenfeng’s limbs.
With a cold gaze sweeping over the two generals, Gu Chenfeng said chillingly, "When General Wu crippled my Sea of Qi and broke my meridians, you two turned a blind eye. You deserve to die too!"
As he spoke, the domineering ice attribute erupted once more.
A white energy shield enveloped Gu Chenfeng, effortlessly blocking the blood-colored energy shooting at him.
The energy chains were frozen and then shattered, unable to restrain Gu Chenfeng.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom! Boom!"
As he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng swept out with a sword, forcing the two advancing generals back with sheer force.
Their strength was nearly equal to General Wu, naturally not matching up to Gu Chenfeng.
Just as the two generals were about to attack, they were bound by the terrifying ice attribute, unable to break free no matter how hard they tried.
"Once I kill General Wu, it’ll be your turn." Gu Chenfeng said coldly, turning and slashing toward the heavily injured General Wu.
Everyone in Martial King City widened their eyes and held their breath.
Was Gu Chenfeng really going to kill General Wu?
However.
At this moment.
"Whoosh!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
A shrill sonic boom sounded as a blue beam of energy, bearing a majestic aura, shot up from the Martial King’s Mansion, making the space tremble as it passed.
"Nascent Soul Stage!" Gu Chenfeng’s face slightly changed.
This vast and terrifying aura was something Gu Chenfeng had felt before in the Lingyun Sect.
It was none other than the Martial King of the Celestial Fire Kingdom.
Compared to the Martial King’s decree from that time, the aura of this blue energy was even more frightening.
Gu Chenfeng moved vertically to the left, narrowly avoiding the attack of the blue beam, his gaze then turning toward the Martial King’s Mansion below.
"Martial King!" The two generals rejoiced at once.
In mid-air above the Martial King’s Mansion.
A figure suddenly appeared.
This person was none other than the Martial King, Mu Zhantian.
The vast and awe-inspiring aura was breathtaking.
With a sharp gaze sweeping toward Gu Chenfeng, the Martial King said with authority: "Gu Chenfeng, how dare you cause chaos in the Martial King’s Mansion and even try to kill General Wu!"
Aside from the Martial King.
Another person walked out of the Martial King’s Mansion hall, it was the Young Master Mu Qingyun.
"Gu Chenfeng!" Mu Qingyun’s fierce gaze locked onto Gu Chenfeng, as if he wanted to swallow Gu Chenfeng whole.
"There’s nothing to be afraid of." Gu Chenfeng said calmly: "I don’t care where it is or who it is, I only know that I must avenge any grievances."
"When in the Lingyun Sect, General Wu crippled my Sea of Qi, broke my meridians, turned me into a cripple, and all of this was under Mu Qingyun’s orders."
With that said, his gaze turned to Mu Qingyun, Gu Chenfeng said coldly: "After fighting for so long, you finally dared to show up. I thought you were too scared to come out."
"Gu Chenfeng, don’t be arrogant!" Mu Qingyun said angrily, his fists clenched tight.
"Mu Qingyun, do you remember what I said?" Gu Chenfeng said chillingly: "I said I’d never spare you, nor the Martial King’s Mansion, and even if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I will have your life."
"Hmph! How insolent!" The Martial King said angrily and coldly: "I should see what strength you have to be so arrogant!"
As the words fell.
The terrifying gold attribute spiritual power of the Early Nascent Soul Stage exploded, dazzling golden light flickered, and the dreadful storm swept in all directions.
The Martial King rose into the air, his imposing aura instantly covering the entire Martial King City.
The realm of the Nascent Soul Stage is truly terrifying.
Facing the terrifying oppression of the Martial King’s Nascent Soul Stage aura, Gu Chenfeng’s face showed a hint of strain.
The Early Golden Core can only remain the Early Golden Core, like an ant in front of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Mu Qingyun fiercely shouted: "Father, kill him!"
The Martial King’s figure suddenly disappeared, his speed reaching the extreme.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gu Chenfeng.
"So fast!" Gu Chenfeng’s brow furrowed deeply.
Fortunately, he possessed strong perception; otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed when the Martial King appeared.
The Martial King blasted a palm strike, the palm wind howling, the momentum overwhelming, the surrounding space even tumbling.
Gu Chenfeng dared not be careless, fully urging the ice attribute spiritual power into the Heaven-Slaying Sword, then thrusting forward with a sword strike.
"Mayfly shaking a tree!" The Martial King shouted coldly.
"Boom!"
The Martial King’s palm slammed into the tip of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, with a resounding explosion, the terrifying force directly sent Gu Chenfeng flying a hundred meters away, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Just one palm strike was enough to injure Gu Chenfeng.
Even if Gu Chenfeng possessed the strength of a half-step Nascent Soul, he was far from a match for a genuine Nascent Soul.
"As expected of the Martial King of the Celestial Fire Kingdom, your strength is indeed formidable." Gu Chenfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying expressionlessly: "However, even if you are at the Nascent Soul Stage, I am determined to destroy the Martial King’s Mansion and Mu Qingyun."
"Just you?" The Martial King said fiercely: "Gu Chenfeng, although I don’t know how you obtained the ice attribute, nor how you broke through the Golden Core Stage, just you alone, cannot threaten me."
"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng smiled coldly.
With a thought, Gu Chenfeng immediately activated the Celestial Emperor’s Blood.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
A domineering and terrifying ice attribute spiritual power suddenly erupted from Gu Chenfeng’s body, the dazzling white light shot skyward, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
At this moment, Gu Chenfeng’s aura was rising at a terrifying speed.
The domineering ice attribute spiritual power was also quickly becoming stronger.
"Nascent Soul Stage!" The Martial King’s face suddenly changed.
General Wu shouted in astonishment: "His power has broken through to the Early Nascent Soul Stage! The ice attribute spiritual power is more terrifying than before!"
"He can actually enhance his power!" General Niu and General Lin exclaimed simultaneously, faces full of terror and disbelief.
"Nascent Soul Stage..." Yao Xuanling was once again scared senseless, her mind went blank.
She couldn’t imagine, nor dared to imagine, that Gu Chenfeng’s strength had actually reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
"That kid can actually enhance his power!"
"This is the power of the Nascent Soul Stage! His aura is identical to the Martial King’s!"
"How is this possible? How can a cultivation at the Early Golden Core Stage possess the power of the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Many cultivators in Martial King City also exclaimed in shock.
As Gu Chenfeng’s spiritual power stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, extremely terrifying ice attribute power spread wildly, forming glaciers high in the sky, enough to cover the entire Martial King City.
This scene sent everyone in Martial King City into a state of panic.
Timid cultivators began to flee Martial King City, not daring to stay even a moment longer.
Gu Chenfeng’s ice attribute spiritual power was too terrifying.
With a cold gaze toward the Martial King, Gu Chenfeng said chillingly: "Can I threaten you now?"
