Inside the White Bone Blessed Land, the fires of war surged to the heavens, and the sounds of slaughter shook the earth.
Gu Yue Qing Shu relied on the Qing Shu Killer Move to crash through the battlefield, invincible wherever he went.
Whether they were Righteous Path Gu Immortals or Demonic Path villains, they were all like clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, unable to withstand a single blow.
Every time he struck, vine shadows flew and blood splattered; Rank Seven Gu Immortals could not block a single hit from him, and Rank Six Gu Immortals were insta-killed in an instant, leaving the Southern Border's immortals terrified, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
"Look! It's Fairy Jin Ting! She's a veteran Rank Seven powerhouse who has survived two Great Tribulations; she can surely suppress Gu Yue Qing Shu!"
"Gu Yue Qing Shu, you are too arrogant. Now that Fairy Jin Ting has arrived, she will surely slay you today!"
"Gu Yue Qing Shu, your end is near!!!"
From within the crowd, a bloated and coarse figure soared into the sky, her body surging with a Rank Seven aura; it was the famous Southern Border Loose Immortal, Fairy Jin Ting.
Fairy Jin Ting was ugly in appearance, with a protruding mouth and nose like a hippopotamus, but her cultivation and combat power were undeniably powerful, and no one dared to underestimate her.
Her greatest hobby in life was keeping male pets; while others had three thousand beauties in their harem, she had thirty thousand handsome men in her chambers.
Rumor has it that among the male pets under Fairy Jin Ting's command, there were even variant humans such as Stone Men and Hairy People.
(A bit of a heavy taste, still the author's good classmate.)
At this moment, following behind Fairy Jin Ting was her most beloved male pet—Rank Six Gu Immortal Yang Wei.
Yang Wei's face was as pale as paper, his eye sockets were sunken and black, his figure was weak, and his aura was unstable.
One could tell at a glance that he had been ravaged by Fairy Jin Ting year-round, his essence, qi, and spirit drained without restraint, resulting in this withered and wretched appearance.
No one expected that such a coarse and ugly Fairy Jin Ting would speak with a high-pitched, coy voice, like a genderless eunuch.
She held up her thick orchid fingers, her thick and fleshy lips opening and closing as she spoke with a voice so cloying it was nauseating:
"Oh~ Qing-lang~ I've finally seen you. I've been thinking of you day and night, and I've admired you for so long~ why don't you just give in to me~"
"You bastard! Shameless! Get lost!"
Although Gu Yue Qing Shu was usually gentle and refined, a true gentleman, he was disgusted by the ugly Fairy Jin Ting before him. Enraged, he waved his hand, and a thick green vine lashed out like a whip with a thunderous boom.
Fairy Jin Ting's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly activated a defensive Killer Move to block it, but the force of that vine whip was peerlessly fierce, and the defensive light shield shattered instantly.
She dodged in haste, but a deep bloodstain that reached the bone was still lashed onto her thigh by the vine whip, causing heart-piercing pain.
"Ah! Qing-lang~ you're hurting me~"
Fairy Jin Ting cried out in a delicate, miserable voice, pretending to be charming, but her knotted muscles and thick leg hair paired with this posture only made people feel incredibly disgusted and weird.
She continued to pinch her throat, laughing in a coy voice:
"Qing-lang's whip is so powerful, I like it even more now~ why don't you play with me properly~ Heh, Qing-lang's vine whip has strength~"
"You won't have the chance. Look at your wound," Gu Yue Qing Shu said coldly with a sneer.
Fairy Jin Ting subconsciously looked down and saw that within the wound, tiny green vines were actually growing and spreading wildly, instantly boring into her flesh and blood.
Only then did she turn pale with fright, her previously charming yet ugly and disgusting posture vanishing completely. Her eunuch-like voice also changed, erupting into a coarse and piercing roar of rage and curses, like an old sow in heat, a completely different person from before.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
Countless green vines erupted from her body, binding her tightly and tearing her apart alive. Her entire body's essence blood was completely drained, turning her into a shriveled and ugly corpse, becoming nourishment for the Qing Shu Killer Move.
In just an instant, the Rank Seven Fairy Jin Ting, who had shaken the Southern Border, had died and her Dao vanished, meeting a miserable end.
"This! The dignified Rank Seven powerhouse Fairy Jin Ting was actually insta-killed in a single encounter!"
"Just how terrifying has Gu Yue Qing Shu's strength reached!"
"Killing a Rank Seven is like slaughtering pigs and dogs. This isn't a Rank Seven; I'm afraid this is some brain-dead Rank Eight powerhouse disguised as a Rank Seven Gu Immortal who descended to the mortal world to go blasting fish in the newbie zone!!!"
Because of Gu Yue Qing Shu's invincible figure and his terrifying combat power that slaughtered Rank Seven powerhouses like pigs and dogs, and because every time he killed someone he cruelly dismembered the corpse into various parts to facilitate his bloodletting...
Thus, after this battle, Gu Yue Qing Shu was called "The Butcher" by the world, because his killing really was like slaughtering pigs and dogs; high and mighty Gu Immortals were simply like pigs in his hands, left to be dissected.
After this battle, the name "The Butcher" Gu Yue Qing Shu was deeply branded into the heart of every Southern Border Gu Immortal, and no one dared to easily face his edge again.
Right then, a simple thatched hut tore through the air and crashed toward Gu Yue Qing Shu, the pressure of a rank seven immortal gu house covering the heavens and the earth.
"It's the Xia family's immortal gu house — Jing Shi Lu!"
Gu Yue Qing Shu neither dodged nor avoided it, striking out with a single palm, actually sending this rank seven immortal gu house flying with one blow, shaking the building's defensive light membrane until it dimmed slightly.
At this moment, the doors of Jing Shi Lu swung wide, and a figure stepped out slowly.
In an instant, a Rank Eight aura felt like a collapsing heavenly pillar, suppressing the entire field, and even heaven and earth seemed to freeze.
The newcomer wore a green robe and had an indifferent expression; it was the Southern Border Xia family's Supreme Grand Elder, the Rank Eight Space Path powerhouse — Xia Cha.
All the immortals trembled and bowed their heads; the power of a Rank Eight, when a Rank Nine does not appear, is the Peak of the world!
"We welcome Supreme Grand Elder Lord Xia Cha!!!"
Xia Fei Kuai's voice came from within Jing Shi Lu, his speech so fast it was almost impossible to hear clearly:
"The Gu Yue Clan will surely belong to my Xia family today! Everyone just wait; once Lord Xia Cha destroys the Gu Yue Clan, we shall celebrate this great achievement together!"
The immortals understood in their hearts that this dispute had already escalated to a Rank Eight game.
The Gu Yue Clan had also long been seen by Xia Cha as something already in the Xia family's pocket.
Xia Cha, in preparation for the upcoming Myriad Tribulation, coveted the all living beings luck true inheritance in the hands of the Gu Yue Clan. Although Xia Cha already had sufficient preparations to pass the Myriad Tribulation, wouldn't it be better to have an extra bit of chance for success?
Thus, Xia Cha had already held secret talks with other Rank Eight higher-ups of the Southern Border, releasing interests and finally reaching an agreement to monopolize the results of this battle.
Before the absolute power of a Rank Eight Gu Immortal, almost no one except the Gu Yue Clan believed they still had a way to live.
Even if Gu Yue Qing Shu was peerlessly brave, even if the Gu Yue Clan possessed multiple rank seven immortal gu houses, and even if the Gu Yue Clan had obtained the all living beings luck true inheritance of the dignified Rank Nine Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, they were still vulnerable before a Rank Eight Gu Immortal.
"Gu Yue Clan, why haven't you surrendered quickly and bowed your heads to admit your guilt?"
Xia Cha's gaze was indifferent as he swept over the depths of the battlefield, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
A figure stepped through the air, his black clothes fluttering and his expression calm; it was Yuan Fang.
"Friend Xia Cha, why go to such great lengths and lead a heavy army to the border? You even brought the rank seven immortal gu house Jing Shi Lu."
"The Gu Yue Clan destroyed the King Court Blessed Land; it is a heinous crime and a demonic act that heaven and earth shall punish. I have come today to console the people and punish the guilty, to trample this demonic den!" Xia Cha's voice was cold and sharp.
"The matter of the King Court Blessed Land was a shocking scheme laid out by the Ten Great Ancient Sects of Central Continent; they used every means possible to seize the eighty-eight true yang building. My Gu Yue Clan was merely caught up in it and did not actively commit evil. Fellow immortal, do not listen to one-sided stories."
Yuan Fang's tone was calm: "My Gu Yue Clan has always strictly followed the Righteous Path; what crime have we committed?"
A war of words was meaningless; Xia Cha's eyes turned cold, and the battle was about to break out.
"Immortal Path Killer Move — Spring Scissors!"
A giant pair of light scissors appeared out of thin air. As they opened and closed, light flowed and they made a cracking sound, clipping directly toward Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang's expression remained unchanged. He struck out with a palm, and the Myriad Self army within his immortal aperture converged into the strength of Yuan Fang alone, forming a giant hand that met the attack with a boom.
It was exactly the first style of the Human Path Immortal Rank Killer Move Myriad Self — Myriad Self Great Hand Seal!
With a sharp crack, the Myriad Self Great Hand Seal was instantly clipped through, and the power of the Spring Scissors did not diminish, heading straight for Yuan Fang's face.
Yuan Fang made a prompt decision and released the rank seven immortal gu house human sovereign banner. The banner's shadow covered the sky, only then barely blocking this fatal Rank Eight blow.
"Immortal Path Killer Move — Sword Wave Triple Fold!"
Behind Yuan Fang, sword light surged wildly, and layers of sword waves rolled incessantly like a river pouring backward, covering the sky and earth as they surged toward Xia Cha.
Xia Cha nonchalantly took out a folding fan and gave it a light wave, stirring up a gale that instantly caused the layers of sword waves to collapse and vanish.
This was one of his famous Immortal Path Killer Moves — Summer Fan.
Yuan Fang's gaze was solemn as his figure swayed, performing the Ancient Sword Flood Dragon Transformation Killer Move. His aura surged wildly, and the ten thousand Transformation Path dao marks he had temporarily obtained using the Rank Seven Change Marks Immortal Gu all turned into sword path dao marks at this moment.
After transforming into an Ancient Sword Jiao, Yuan Fang once again activated the Myriad Dragons Killer Move.
In an instant, ten thousand Ancient Sword Jiaos coiled in the sky, their scales flashing with cold light as they all spat out dragon breath. The offensive was extremely violent, heading straight for Xia Cha.
"Immortal Path Killer Move — Winter Fur!"
A layer of heavy icy Winter Fur enveloped Xia Cha's entire body. The sword light and dragon breath struck it, but it remained completely motionless, without even a single mark left behind.
Within Xia Cha's immortal aperture, he possessed four renowned Space Path immortal gu: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, each corresponding to four great Killer Moves:
Spring Scissors, Summer Fan, Autumn Hair, and Winter Fur.
Spring Scissors and Summer Fan were primarily for slaughter, with their cores being the Rank Eight Space Path immortal gu Spring Gu and Summer Gu;
Autumn Hair assisted in cultivation and could increase the resource production of the immortal aperture, with its core being the Rank Seven Space Path immortal gu Autumn Gu;
Winter Fur was primarily for defense, forming a layer of icy Winter Fur to protect himself; it was as solid as a city, and its core was the Rank Seven Space Path immortal gu Winter Gu.
With just these three Immortal Path Killer Moves—Spring Scissors, Summer Fan, and Winter Fur—Xia Cha firmly suppressed Yuan Fang and held the absolute advantage.
Although Yuan Fang had the true inheritance of Sword Immortal Thin Green and the amplification from the Human Path Immortal Rank Killer Move Peoples Hearts Are Drawn To, the gap in the number of dao marks was vast. He himself was not good at defense and could only constantly maneuver and dodge to pull away.
As a Rank Eight Space Path powerhouse, Xia Cha's methods were far more than this.
He activated a movement Killer Move with the Rank Eight Spring Gu as its core. His figure was like a phantom, and his speed far exceeded Yuan Fang's, biting onto him relentlessly; no matter how Yuan Fang dodged, he could not escape the pursuit.
But from beginning to end, Yuan Fang's expression was calm, not at all flustered.
From the start, he never thought of facing Xia Cha head-on.
He was baiting the battle.
Leading the Rank Eight Space Path powerhouse Xia Cha toward the fatal ground he had prepared in advance.
"Soul Path Immortal Array — Soul Shaking Luo Po Death Array!"
With a low shout, heaven and earth changed drastically.
The sky became pitch black as ink, and the earth cracked and shifted as two legendary Soul Path secluded domains of heaven and earth appeared simultaneously—
Soul Searching Mountain was jagged with purple crystals, and Luo Po Valley was filled with gusts of dark wind.
The Soul Shaking Wind howled, the luo po wind hissed, and the bewitching fog spread. The triple Soul Path attacks intertwined, forming a fatal array that firmly trapped Xia Cha in the center.
"Soul Searching Mountain! Luo Po Valley! You actually fused these two secluded domains of heaven and earth into one to set up a Soul Path killer array!"
Xia Cha's expression finally changed: "Could it be that there is a Formation Path Great Grandmaster like Chi Qu You in the Gu Yue Clan?"
"That is not for you to know," Yuan Fang's voice came from the void:
"My Soul Shaking Luo Po Death Array fuses the Soul Path dao marks and power of two secluded domains of heaven and earth; even if a Rank Eight Gu Immortal steps into it, they must surrender!"
Yuan Fang naturally would not speak frankly; this array did not come from the hands of a Formation Path Great Grandmaster, but was something he had barely set up by relying on the Rank Nine wisdom gu and Rank Seven Heavenly Secret Gu, combined with his Zhi Dao Quasi-Grandmaster Realm and borrowing from the battlefield Killer Move Soul Battleground.
Inside the array, Xia Cha suffered from Soul Path attacks, his soul in intense pain as he was constantly heavily injured. Yuan Fang, meanwhile, hid in the shadows, secretly activating the Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword Killer Move in an attempt to kill Xia Cha.
Xia Cha primarily cultivated Space Path, and his Soul Path defense was extremely weak; he could only be beaten passively, enduring the Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword that Yuan Fang secretly activated.
After taking four swords in succession, Xia Cha finally felt a fatal threat and dared not hold back any longer.
Xia Cha suddenly raised his hand and tore through the void, and a phantom of the River of Time appeared.
Risking the danger of being surrounded and killed by a pack of Year Beasts, Xia Cha leaped into it, shifting and moving. After a narrow escape from death, he finally broke through the array and appeared several miles away.
He was covered in dust and in a wretched state, no longer possessing any of the grace of a Rank Eight powerhouse.
Right then!
A sword light that was extremely fast and sharp tore through the air silently, cutting off Xia Cha's right arm with one strike!
It was exactly the fifth sword of the Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword!
"Xia Cha! Why don't you surrender! Immortal Path Killer Move — Sword Marks Claiming Life!"
Yuan Fang's figure appeared, and he activated his sword light again, pressing toward Xia Cha.
Xia Cha endured the intense pain of his severed arm and hurriedly activated Winter Fur for defense, barely managing to block it.
Next, a scene that left all the Gu Immortals dumbfounded took place—
Relying on the sharpness of the sword light, Yuan Fang pursued him all the way. The dignified Rank Eight Space Path powerhouse Xia Cha was actually beaten into a wretched retreat, dejected and disheveled, not even looking back as he lost all face.
"Shame! A great humiliation!" Xia Cha was both angry and ashamed in his heart, almost going mad.
Yuan Fang also calculated in his heart:
Xia Cha's movement speed far exceeded his own, and it would be as hard as ascending to heaven to completely kill him. Since he couldn't kill him, he would use this battle to obtain the maximum benefit.
After fighting fiercely for half a quarter-hour, Yuan Fang suddenly stopped and laughed loudly:
"Friend Xia Cha, we are both of the Southern Border's Righteous Path; why must we kill each other? Why don't we stop here and make peace?"
Xia Cha also took the opportunity to stop, his face ashen.
Xia Cha really did not want to fight anymore; a Rank Eight powerhouse had actually lost to a Rank Seven Gu Immortal. If this got out, the Xia family would surely become a laughingstock in the Southern Border.
Yuan Fang smiled slightly, and his aura suddenly changed. A thick Rank Eight aura slowly radiated out; it didn't show its edge, yet it possessed its own authority.
(Of course, it was fake.)
Xia Cha's pupils shrank slightly, and he was uncertain.
"To be honest with you, fellow immortal, I have long since promoted to Rank Eight. I was only deliberately showing weakness before to test your methods. Now it seems your strength is unfathomable, and I am inferior."
Only then did Xia Cha's expression slightly soften.
If a Rank Eight was defeated, his dignity could still be preserved.
According to the rules of the Southern Border's Righteous Path, the defeated party must pay compensation. Xia Cha gritted his teeth and painfully ceded the super resource point Liu Yue Mountain to the Gu Yue Clan to seek peace.
A shocking battle thus came to an end.
Not only was the Gu Yue Clan not destroyed, but they became famous in a single battle, intimidating the Southern Border!
