Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Defeating a Golden Core Stage Cultivator with One Punch
"Want to give it a try?"
Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, not taking Wu Tian seriously at all.
A mere early stage of Golden Core, Gu Chenfeng considered it nothing.
Wu Tian’s arrogant demeanor made Gu Chenfeng very displeased.
"Young Master Feng, he is in the Golden Core stage, don’t fight him." Su Shisan hurriedly reminded.
Others might not know Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation, but Su Shisan was very clear.
Gu Chenfeng breaking through the early stage of Fasting was something Su Shisan witnessed personally.
The Fasting Stage and the Golden Core Stage are worlds apart; one could say that in front of the Golden Core Stage, the Fasting Stage is but an ant.
Gu Chenfeng fighting Wu Tian – isn’t that courting death?
"Alright." Wu Tian said arrogantly, "Let’s give it a try, I, as the Young Master, also want to see how strong you are."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Wu Tian immediately propelled his Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, and the strong aura of the Golden Core Stage burst forth alongside it.
"Wu Tian, you dare make a move in the auction house?" Su Shisan stood up and shouted angrily.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Wu Tian shrugged and smirked, "Shisan, don’t forget, the strength of my Wu Family is far above your Su Family. Just because your Su Young Master doesn’t dare doesn’t mean I don’t."
"Stop! No fighting is allowed in the auction house!" A maid hurriedly ran over.
Several guards also rushed over immediately.
Wu Tian smirked disdainfully, gathering powerful energy in his palm, ready to strike Gu Chenfeng with it.
But just as Wu Tian was about to make his move, Gu Chenfeng acted.
"Slap!"
A loud smack sounded out, Wu Tian’s face instantly got slapped to the side, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he stood there, dumbfounded.
Wu Tian couldn’t believe it; a dignified Golden Core Stage cultivator actually got slapped in the face by someone.
And even bled!
"Did Young Master Feng hit him?" Su Shisan’s eyes widened to the extreme, utterly shocked.
The rushing guards and maids were equally astounded.
None of them saw Gu Chenfeng make his move.
Even Wu Tian, being in the early stage of Golden Core, did not see Gu Chenfeng’s move.
Gu Chenfeng’s speed was too fast.
"Slap!"
Before Wu Tian could snap out of his dumbfounded state, Gu Chenfeng delivered another slap, with a crisp sound that left Wu Tian spinning to the ground.
Su Shisan, the guards, and the maids were all startled by the sound.
With two slaps, fiery red palm prints remained on both sides of Wu Tian’s face.
"How dare you hit me! I’ll kill you!" Wu Tian roared in fury, shouting at Gu Chenfeng, and exploded with the energy of the Golden Core Stage.
The furious Wu Tian got up, ready to land a fierce punch on Gu Chenfeng.
"I’m afraid you don’t have that ability!" Gu Chenfeng sneered coldly, a powerful aura suddenly surging out.
Ice Attribute Spiritual Power erupted instantly, with Gu Chenfeng boldly meeting the punch.
"Boom!"
"Snap!"
"Spurt!"
In an instant, the fierce clash of two punches caused a booming explosion, followed by the sound of bones fracturing, Wu Tian’s expression changed drastically, then he spat out blood and was knocked backward.
The formidable power slammed Wu Tian into several wooden cabinets, scattering numerous treasures onto the ground.
"What?" Su Shisan exclaimed in shock, his eyes almost popping out.
The guards and maids were left speechless and gaping.
They all heard the sound of Wu Tian’s bones breaking.
"Mid-stage of Fasting!" Su Shisan said tremulously, looking at Gu Chenfeng with extreme astonishment.
In less than a month, Gu Chenfeng had broken through again.
What an astounding cultivation speed!
Not only did his cultivation break through, but he was also able to cripple a Golden Core Stage hand with one punch and injure a Golden Core Stage powerhouse.
Such formidable strength left Su Shisan dumbfounded.
"A mid-stage Fasting cultivator injuring a Golden Core Stage with one punch..." a guard muttered dumbfounded, his face full of shock and disbelief.
At this moment, Wu Tian looked at Gu Chenfeng with sheer terror and a vision as if seeing a monster.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Wu Tian shook his head in terror and disbelief.
He could not believe that a dignified Golden Core Stage powerhouse couldn’t contend with a mid-stage Fasting cultivator.
This was utterly ridiculous.
Facing the terrified Wu Tian, Gu Chenfeng smirked slightly, "The Golden Core Stage isn’t that great after all."
Gu Chenfeng’s true strength was already enough to match someone in the middle stage of the Golden Core; dealing with an early stage Golden Core was too easy.
Looking towards the guards and maids, Gu Chenfeng explained, "It was this Young Master who wanted to fight. Unfortunately, he was too slow, so have him compensate for the broken treasures."
"Yes, Young Master Feng." The guards and maids answered respectfully.
"Su Shisan, about the cooperation, I’ll consider it." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, then turned and left.
The stunned Su Shisan was snapped back to reality by Gu Chenfeng’s words.
"Great! Thank you, Young Master Feng! Wait for me!" Su Shisan shouted excitedly, quickly chasing after him.
"Don’t think about leaving!" Wu Tian growled through clenched teeth, enduring the severe pain to stand up.
The maid then respectfully asked, "Young Master Wu, would you like to inventory these broken treasures?"
"Go ask my father! Get out of here!" Wu Tian snarled viciously.
A guard frowned and said, "Young Master Wu, violating auction house rules is something I’ll have to report."
"Do as you like!" Wu Tian retorted angrily, showing no fear of breaking auction house rules.
The Wu Family was strong enough to rival major forces, so the guard only dared to caution Wu Tian without stopping him.
In the corridor of the Pill Pavilion.
Su Shisan chased after eagerly and asked, "Young Master Feng, how long will you consider?"
Gu Chenfeng said blandly, "My Master Uncle is going to auction the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill at the auction house. By using the auction’s platform to spread the word, the aim is to strengthen the Ancient Divine Sect; do you understand my meaning?"
"I understand." Su Shisan nodded and smiled, "There’s no rush for this matter. As long as Young Master Feng agrees, waiting a year or two is fine. My objective is the same as the Ancient Divine Sect’s, to bring strong allies to the Su Family."
"Young Master Feng previously mentioned that with the right conditions, he could produce a Seventh or even Eighth Grade Elixir, which would undoubtedly alarm a Tribulation Stage expert."
"If the Ancient Divine Sect plans to produce the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, my Su Family won’t preemptively act, which equals helping them to introduce their elixir, with few produced, as scarcity enhances value."
Gu Chenfeng nodded slightly, and asked in return, "Does the Su Family have an Alchemist?"
Su Shisan replied respectfully, "Young Master Feng, there are two Fifth Grade Alchemists in my Su Family, and the status of a Sixth Grade Alchemist is too high, our family’s strength is too weak to engage one."
"Fifth Grade is good enough." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly.
"So Young Master Feng has agreed?" Su Shisan asked excitedly, his heart pounding.
"Agreed." Gu Chenfeng replied decisively.
"Excellent!" Su Shisan exclaimed with joy, "From now on, my life belongs to Young Master Feng. On behalf of the Su Family, I assure Young Master Feng has access to any Su Family resources."
"A Fifth Grade Alchemist can’t make a Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, though," Gu Chenfeng continued with a smile, "but I plan to give your Su Family another Pill Formula."
"What Pill Formula?" Su Shisan asked eagerly.
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "An elixir to enhance Soul Power, which should be quite rare even in the Cultivation Realm."
