Chapter 62: Chapter 62: There Is a Reason for Everything
At the moment the man turned his head.
Gu Chenfeng had already unleashed the Spirit Sword, shooting out like lightning.
Noticing Gu Chenfeng’s move, the maid hurriedly said, "Stop! Duels are not allowed in the Artifact Refining Pavilion! Are you going to break the rules?"
Unfortunately, Gu Chenfeng, who had made his move, seemed as if he hadn’t heard.
Gu Chenfeng’s speed was extremely fast, a sword viciously and mercilessly slashed toward the man’s head.
"So fast!" The man’s face suddenly changed, and his body instinctively leaped back.
"What kind of speed is this?" Zuo Qingyang and Bai Tu exclaimed simultaneously.
How could someone in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment have such terrifying speed?
Even with the Celestial Technique Body Technique, it shouldn’t be possible for Gu Chenfeng’s speed to reach this frightening level, right?
The moment the man leaped back, his eyes were fixed on the Spirit Sword that was slashing down, just slipping down from the bridge of his nose, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
If the man had been half a step slower, Gu Chenfeng’s sword would have definitely split him in two.
At that moment, it was as if the man had taken a trip to the Ghost Gate.
"Junior Brother, stop!" Zuo Qingyang shouted hastily, "Don’t break the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion! Stop now!"
They never expected that Gu Chenfeng would strike without a word, and the first move would be a killing blow, with astonishing speed.
"You brat! How dare you ambush me! Are you tired of living?" The man’s face contorted like a vicious tiger, and his powerful Middle Stage of Golden Core force erupted.
But at this moment.
Just as the man steadied his body, Gu Chenfeng had already arrived behind him.
"What? What kind of speed is this?" The man’s face suddenly changed.
With his cultivation at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, he failed to notice Gu Chenfeng behind him at the first moment.
"How is this possible!" Zuo Qingyang’s eyes widened in shock, "What’s with Junior Brother’s speed? What body technique has he cultivated?"
Bai Tu was dumbfounded, "I couldn’t even see Junior Brother’s move, this speed is too fast! It feels faster than me!"
Gu Chenfeng shot out swiftly; a sword viciously and horizontally swept out.
"Swoosh!"
Gu Chenfeng’s sword struck the man’s arm, and at the moment of impact, the battle armor on the man’s hand fell off.
Gu Chenfeng made a grab in the air, and the battle armor was directly pulled over.
From the moment Gu Chenfeng made his move to seizing the battle armor, the series of actions was as smooth as flowing clouds and running water, completed in one go.
Gu Chenfeng’s ambush was evidently very successful.
"You brat! Hand over the battle armor!" The man roared furiously, turning around and punching towards Gu Chenfeng.
Gu Chenfeng, with strong perception, vanished mysteriously at the moment the man’s powerful punch came.
"What?" The man’s fierce punch landed on air.
The next second.
Gu Chenfeng appeared silently in front of Zuo Qingyang.
Zuo Qingyang and the others were dumbfounded, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
What kind of magical body technique is this?
Is this really their Junior Brother Gu Chenfeng?
Gu Chenfeng handed the battle armor to Bai Tu, smiling faintly, "Second Senior Brother, take it; good eye, this is a fine treasure."
Bai Tu received it like a block of wood, still extremely shocked.
Turning his gaze to the maid, Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "You heard it yourself earlier; he told me to snatch it."
Before the maid could speak, the man’s powerful aura locked onto Gu Chenfeng, angrily saying, "You made the first move. Even if I kill you now, the Artifact Refining Pavilion won’t hold me accountable. You’re digging your own grave!"
Gu Chenfeng snatching the battle armor had completely enraged the man.
As he finished speaking.
The man charged towards Gu Chenfeng like lightning, a fist imbued with terrifying power mercilessly striking at Gu Chenfeng, the fierce force howling out.
"Junior Brother, be careful!" Zuo Qingyang quickly shifted in front of Gu Chenfeng, his formidable spiritual power erupting as he met the blow with a retaliating punch.
"Stop!" The maid couldn’t bear it any longer and angrily reprimanded, "You are breaking the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, do you want to be punished?"
At this moment, the enraged man couldn’t listen at all.
And right then.
As Zuo Qingyang and the man were about to land their punch on each other, a body suddenly appeared between them, with a strong Qi Force repelling their fists.
"Nascent Soul Stage!" Bai Tu and Liu Qingqing both frowned.
Zuo Qingyang frowned, thinking to himself, "This is troublesome! Junior Brother was too impulsive!"
The newcomer was an elder, and from his powerful aura, it was clear his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
Not only was the elder a Nascent Soul Stage expert, but also a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner.
"Steward Elder!" The maids on the second floor respectfully saluted.
The elder was Mo Qing, the Steward Elder of the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
Mo Qing glanced at Zuo Qingyang and the man, asking in a deep voice, "You two are quite bold, daring to break the rules of my Artifact Refining Pavilion."
Zuo Qingyang immediately withdrew his spiritual power, respectfully clasping his fists, "Steward Elder, we sincerely apologize. We did not intend to break the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, it’s just..."
Zuo Qingyang hadn’t finished speaking when Mo Qing directly interrupted, "Regardless of the reason, anyone who breaks the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion must be punished."
"Steward Elder, they snatched my battle armor!" The man angrily pointed at Gu Chenfeng, "That kid ambushed me first; I only acted to retrieve the battle armor, not breaking the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion."
"Every event has its reasons," Gu Chenfeng said unhurriedly, "If the Steward Elder’s judgment is reasonable, I am willing to accept the punishment from the Artifact Refining Pavilion."
"Oh?" Mo Qing was somewhat surprised as he looked at Gu Chenfeng, then smiled, "Go ahead and explain."
Gu Chenfeng explained, "My senior brother just arrived on the second floor and took a liking to the Purple Gold Profound Fire Armor. The Artifact Refining Pavilion has the rule of first come, first served. But he claimed he came yesterday, without reservations, and then grabbed the battle armor first."
"Moreover, he said if I had the ability, I should snatch it. With such unreasonable behavior, I had no choice but to take it. Otherwise, if he took off, how would I find the battle armor?"
Mo Qing looked at the man, saying in a serious tone, "Young Master Lin Yan, the Artifact Refining Pavilion does not have such a rule."
Lin Yan’s face was extremely gloomy, with a sinister look, like a ferocious tiger glaring at a rabbit, staring angrily at Gu Chenfeng.
At this moment.
Ouyang Chu and Nangong Jiao came over.
Ouyang Chu smiled slightly, "The Artifact Refining Pavilion indeed does not have such a rule, but the rule of the Artifact Refining Pavilion is that no matter the reason, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to make a move in the Artifact Refining Pavilion must be severely punished."
"Brother Ouyang!" Lin Yan rejoiced immediately.
Ouyang Chu continued, "If we let this kid off because of Lin Yan’s relationship, where would the dignity of the Artifact Refining Pavilion be? Wouldn’t the rules become a joke?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingyang and the others’ expressions turned extremely unpleasant.
Zuo Qingyang wanted to refute, but found himself at a loss for words.
After all, it was indeed Gu Chenfeng who made the first move.
Mo Qing nodded, "Young Master Ouyang’s words are very true, the rules of the Artifact Refining Pavilion must not be broken."
"I am willing to accept the punishment of the Artifact Refining Pavilion," Gu Chenfeng said without fear, "Steward Elder, since the situation is understood, the Purple Gold Profound Fire Armor should belong to my second senior brother."
