Chapter 267: Crushing (Further Updated Ten Thousand Words, Please Subscribe!)_2
It had not been easy to achieve his current accomplishments and cultivation level, and Luo Ang truly did not wish to die.
Gu Chen's expression was indifferent as he said, "You think you're worthy?"
Just as Gu Chen was about to crush Luo Ang to death, Luo Ang suddenly shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I have important intel in exchange for my life."
Seeing that Gu Chen was completely unmoved and feeling the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him, Luo Ang immediately said, "Da Xia has a traitor, and if you don't catch this traitor, Yan State will undoubtedly lose the upcoming battle!"
Hearing Luo Ang's words, Wuying, who was fleeing, suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze was fierce as he glared fiercely at Luo Ang.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's pupils deepened, and seeing this, Luo Ang was overjoyed and quickly continued, "Moreover, there are currently one hundred and twenty thousand barbarian troops that have invaded Yan State, and they have already reached Yulong City. If you don't hurry there, Yulong City might fall and its people perish!"
"What did you say?!"
Gu Chen's eyes shot out two dazzling beams of light, excruciatingly bright, causing Luo Ang to feel a sharp pain in his flesh.
"Everything I am saying is true. Currently, two Great Master martial artists from Holy Shadows Sect and Black Sky Sect who are in the innate realm have emerged from seclusion, and the twelve thousand barbarian army has passed Yongxue City and has reached the outskirts of Yulong City. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."
Like a cannon firing incessantly, Luo Ang, in his desperate bid for life, spilled everything, including information about the Sunset Sword Sect, Heavenly Saber Sect, the Qiu family, White Tiger Clan, and Feixue Sword Sect—the evidence that these five factions had pledged allegiance to the Six Union God Sect.
"Luo Ang, you're seeking death!"
At this moment, not only Wuying but also Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang were filled with immense rage, wishing they could tear Luo Ang to shreds on the spot.
After listening, Gu Chen's expression was extremely solemn. He hadn't expected that, after coming out from seclusion, the situation in Yan State would have become so dire.
Luo Ang was right; he had to return as quickly as possible.
Boom!
At that moment, Gu Chen's palm suddenly burst with dazzling light, and Luo Ang was enveloped in intense flames. As the flames scorched his body, Luo Ang screamed in agony.
"You... you can't kill me, don't you want to know who betrayed Da Xia?!" Luo Ang screamed.
"No need to speak; I already know who it is," Gu Chen replied, his black hair hanging loose, reaching his waist, his expression cold.
Boom!
As the flames expanded rapidly, Luo Ang's screams cut off abruptly, and he was incinerated to ashes by the Great Sun Divine Gang.
"Marquis of Pingxi!" Gu Chen's eyes were filled with a cold sharpness as these three words slowly left his mouth.
Thanks to Luo Ang's revelation, combined with everything Gu Chen had experienced during this time, it all connected.
Only if Marquis of Pingxi had betrayed Da Xia, could the situation in Yan State have deteriorated to such an extent.
Furthermore, since the start of the war, Marquis of Pingxi had indeed engaged in many behaviors that did not match his usual character.
Why the situation in Yan State had suddenly become so severe, how the barbarians had been able to break through the border so easily, and why Marquis of Pingxi insisted on crossing the border to pursue the barbarians—not only was Gu Chen puzzled, but many others in Tiandu also had their doubts.
Moreover, Marquis of Pingxi had managed the border for many years, making it as impregnable as a tightly sealed drum. Even the barbarians couldn't have broken through so easily.
Now, after Luo Ang's revelation, everything suddenly became clear to Gu Chen.
"You obliterated the sixty-thousand-strong Xuan Iron Army, loyal to you for many years, in the blink of an eye, Marquis of Pingxi, your heart is truly cruel!" Gu Chen's fist clenched tightly, lamenting the fate of the sixty thousand Xuan Iron soldiers.
"Luo Ang!"
Seeing that Gu Chen had seen through the conspiracy of Marquis of Pingxi, Wuying let out a low growl, knowing he had to rush back to Marquis of Pingxi's side as quickly as possible and inform him of this matter.
Whoosh!
With that thought, Wuying ran even faster.
Stay tuned for updates on empire
However, having learned of Marquis of Pingxi's plot, Gu Chen also instantly perceived where Wuying was coming from. With a swift turn of his head and a few steps, he appeared in front of Wuying.
"Get lost!"
Wuying roared in anger. At this moment, he, who was Marquis of Pingxi's top spy, had been driven to a corner by Gu Chen, a situation he had never experienced before.
Fully aware that he was no match for Gu Chen, Wuying made a decisive choice to sever one of his own arms. As blood sprayed, he immediately took off running towards the distance.
"Hm?!"
Gu Chen was puzzled, unsure what Wuying was implying. But the next moment, he saw the Inferior-grade divine weapon, the Bloodthirsty Claw, glaringly on the severed limb.
At this moment, bright light erupted from the Bloodthirsty Claw as it began to burn slowly!
Wuying had actually triggered the explosion of an Inferior-grade divine weapon!
Gu Chen's expression grew stern as he promptly took action. An explosion from an Inferior-grade divine weapon could cause serious damage, even with his robust constitution. Golden light glinted from Gu Chen's left palm as Great Sun Divine Gang enveloped it, firmly grasping the Bloodthirsty Claw while suppressing it with his powerful cultivation.
Hum!
The Bloodthirsty Claw trembled continuously, but under Gu Chen's powerful cultivation suppression, it eventually calmed down.
"Die!"
After subduing the Bloodthirsty Claw, Gu Chen flicked his finger, releasing a thick and sharp sword energy that burst forth from his fingertip.
Spurt!
Faced with Gu Chen's True Yang Finger, Wuying was split in two!
After undergoing three blood exchanges and wielding the immense power of the Great Sun Divine Gang, as well as a transformation upon becoming a Grandmaster, Gu Chen's current strength was not inferior to a martial arts Grandmaster who had undergone six blood exchanges.
After all, if Gu Chen's achievement of the Vajra Body was counted, he had effectively undergone blood exchange four times.
With such strength, it was only natural for Gu Chen to consider himself a match for someone who had undergone six blood exchanges.
Swipe!
Immediately after, Gu Chen's figure flashed as he pursued Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang, who were fleeing.
With his acute senses, in addition to locking onto their aura from a distance, it was impossible for them to escape under Gu Chen's watch.
"You can't kill us, if you do, the Qiu family and the White Tiger Clan will surely rebel against Da Xia!" Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang shouted in panic as they saw Gu Chen catching up.
"The moment you pledged allegiance to the Six Union God Sect, the Qiu family and the White Tiger Clan were already facing certain death!"
No matter how much the two pleaded, Gu Chen showed no mercy. He struck with his palm, and a surge of searing golden Great Sun Divine Gang burst forth. Before Qiu Tianhua and Wan Tinggang could even scream, they were reduced to ashes.
"Yulong City!"
After slaying these five, Gu Chen's expression became even more somber, and he quickly headed towards Yulong City.
Yulong City was the provincial capital of Yan State, teeming with countless people. If something happened there, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But just as Gu Chen was about to set off for Yulong City, within the flesh of his left hand, where the Superior-grade divine weapon had always lain silent without a hint of movement, it suddenly stirred at this moment.
