The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 952 Begging for mercy and clinging to life

Gu Yueqian shouted sharply, and lightning flashed in the sky, showing no sign of stopping.

The long blade pierced the air like lightning, striking down its prey.

Gu Yueyan, like a kite with a broken string, stumbled and fell from mid-air.

In the previous battle, Gu Yueqianfang never imagined that this battle would end so quickly. He hadn't even foreseen the outcome.

But right now, it is so obvious, presented to him without reservation.

With his young master severely injured and on the verge of death, Chen Ping'an showed no intention of holding back.

"stop!"

Gu Yueqianfang's divine soul power surged to its extreme, stimulating the artistic conception and sweeping across the field, intending to exert pressure and hinder Chen Ping'an's ability to act.

In such situations, he pushed his escape speed to its limit. Although the distance between them was far, he could reach them in the blink of an eye with his speed.

If he could stop Chen Ping'an for even a moment, he could arrive in time to rescue the young master from the other party's clutches.

少主

Can't die!

Swish!

With a blade piercing the sky and lightning flashing, Chen Ping'an held the blade and cut through the air, his expression as indifferent as a deep pool or an ancient forest.

Gu Yueqianfang's extremely loud and urgent shout rang in his ears, but it did not cause the slightest change in his expression.

"stop?"

Chen Ping'an's gaze was icy, and the long sword in his hand gleamed brilliantly, showing no intention of holding back.

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

The Yunshan Mountains were like this in the past, and the Beishan Mountains are like this today.

It played out repeatedly in front of him, over and over again.

They all ignored his words.

Why do some people always have to break the rules and these established pre-war agreements?

Perhaps, only when a knife is held to one's throat will one truly know.

Some things are never just words.

Since life and death are not to be discussed, then so be it.

No matter!

Chen Ping'an's expression was indifferent and cold, his blade flashing brilliantly. At this moment, with his ultimate strike, his vast and powerful divine soul enveloped the entire area.

If Gu Yueqianfang were to come, this strike would not only kill Gu Yueyan!

In mid-air, Chen Ping'an was as radiant as the sun, his divine soul aura boiling, while Gu Yue Qianfang moved with astonishing speed, approaching the battlefield at extreme speed.

Just then, a clear flute melody suddenly rang out in the arena, echoing in his ears.

The flute's sound, seemingly clear and pure, resonated with the very soul, completely calming and dissipating the extremely turbulent spiritual energy surrounding it.

Gu Yueqianfang's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

The clear flute and jade-like notes, Jiang Ruotong, it was Jiang Ruotong who made the move.

Gu Yueqian was extremely anxious, as the young master was in imminent danger, and Jiang Ruotong intervened at this critical juncture.

You little slut from the Luanming Sect!

Gu Yueqian cursed inwardly, having no desire to get entangled with Jiang Ruotong. With a fierce expression, he activated a secret technique, briefly dispelling the surrounding flute sounds.

As Jiang Ruotong was a half-step Grand Cultivator, there was an absolute gap in cultivation level between him and Jiang Ruotong. Under normal circumstances, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

But right now, his goal is clear: he doesn't want to get entangled with the other party; he just wants to break free and leave this place.

But just as he briefly dispersed the flute sounds, the distant flute sounds converged, ripples appeared, and a beautiful woman in a white dress slowly emerged, like a lotus flower in clear water, displaying her pure and elegant beauty.

"Elder Qianfang, please wait."

Jiang Ruotong wore a white dress and spoke in a gentle and melodious voice, but Gu Yueqianfang's expression was horribly ugly.

Given the situation, he had no choice but to act. Without any further entanglement or pleasantries, a dark wheel suddenly spun out from behind him, with countless spinning wheels and dark stars surging, raining down on him like a downpour.

Jiang Ruotong remained calm, gently raising her jade-like hand. Her white dress fluttered, and a clear, melodious flute melody resonated, materializing and extinguishing all the killing intent.

At that moment, Gu Yueqianfang suddenly threw out a talisman, which came with a tremor and a surge of dark light, its killing intent terrifying.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Yueqian activated his secret technique and used his ultimate speed to get closer to the battlefield.

However, before he could do anything, ripples appeared in the void, and a figure slowly emerged in mid-air, blocking his way.

A short, stout Taoist priest, carrying a wine jug, laughed in a clear, melodious voice.

"Fellow Daoist Qianfang, where are we headed?"

Qingmu Sect, Wine-Drinking Taoist, Guan Shendao.

boom!

Thunder roared above the northern mountain, and a blade of light, a hundred feet in size, flashed down with a deafening roar.

"This is."

The celestial beings were visibly shaken and speechless.

Space tremors, the winds and clouds shift, and an overwhelming momentum sweeps across the land.

Inside Beishan Pass, countless people were horrified, their expressions utterly shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What power and might!?"

Is this truly a strike that a newly ascended Celestial Being could deliver?

The moment Gu Yueqian saw Guan Shendao, he knew there was no hope of breaking through, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Seeing this terrifying display of power, Gu Yueqian was filled with rage and could no longer care about saving face.

"Chen Ping'an, if you kill the young master, there will be no place for you to hide in this vast world."

The sound echoed through the heavens and earth, sweeping across the northern mountains, but the ultimate slash in the sky remained unchanged.

At that moment, the blade light flashing in the sky completely engulfed Gu Yueyan's figure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An endless series of explosions resounded and shattered in the sky.

"Not dead?"

Chen Ping'an remained calm, though a slight surprise flickered in his eyes.

Amidst the exploding cloud and flashing lightning, Gu Yueyan held a jade ruyi scepter, which emitted a dark moonlight and formed a crescent-shaped protective shield, blocking Chen Ping'an's ultimate attack.

"Chen Ping'an, do you dare to kill me?"

Gu Yueyan was deathly pale, his hair disheveled, looking utterly wretched. His expression was frenzied, devoid of any semblance of leisure, as he roared angrily.

Chen Ping'an didn't speak, but quietly raised the long sword in his hand.

Rumble~

A thunderbolt suddenly appeared, its force overwhelming all directions.

Countless bolts of lightning converged, transforming into blade-like rays that shone brightly in the sky.

"Kill me, and my Guyue clan will fight you to the death!"

Gu Yueyan's eyes were bloodshot, and the jade ruyi in his hand was glowing with light, pushed to its limit.

boom!

The blade's light descended, illuminating the heavens and earth. The power of this strike was even more terrifying than before.

The incomparably violent blade strike, imbued with the imagery of raging thunder, roared in, shaking the very soul.

"puff!"

Under the terrifying shockwave, Gu Yueyan's face suddenly turned red, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

His figure flew and swirled, creating a series of sonic booms.

Click!Click!

Gu Yueyan's face trembled as he watched the crescent-shaped protective light around him shatter inch by inch. The jade ruyi in his hand dimmed and its flow became obscure, clearly having reached its limit.

"No!"

Gu Yueyan was horrified and tried to make amends, but a streak of light swept across the sky and landed beside him with incredible speed.

In the flash of lightning, Gu Yueyan only saw a face with an indifferent expression and a pair of eyes devoid of any emotion.

He gently raised the knife, looking at him as if he were an ant about to be crushed.

He really will do it!

At this moment, Gu Yueyan was truly afraid.

"No, don't kill me!"

Gu Yueyan was terrified, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Chen Ping'an, please don't kill me. Just let me go, and I'll agree to any condition you set!"

"Treasures, spiritual objects, precious elixirs, cultivation techniques, beauties—whatever you want, I can give you!"

Gu Yueyan begged for mercy in a pitiful voice, his posture so humble that he was practically in the dust, completely unlike the leisurely and lazy noble young master he had appeared before.

"Oh?"

Amidst a soft, surprised exclamation, the flashing blade light in mid-air seemed to pause for a moment.

Gu Yueyan's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had grasped at the last straw.

"Chen Ping'an, there is no direct enmity between us. Everything that happened before was my fault. As long as you release me, my Guyue Clan will definitely support you with all our might. Support you in achieving the Great Cultivation Realm! Yes, the Great Cultivation Realm!"

Gu Yueyan spoke very quickly, as if afraid that if he spoke any slower, Chen Ping'an would lose patience. He was like a traveler about to fall off a cliff, trading everything he could for every bargaining chip he had.

At this moment, regardless of whether it can be done or fulfilled, the priority is to deal with the current situation first. He.

Can't die!

They must not die!

Looking at the dazzling, sparkling man before him, Gu Yueyan's only thought at that moment was to live.

No matter what, we must survive.

"Furthermore, if you wish, my Guyue clan can find you a celestial companion. The path of cultivation is long and lonely, and having a companion of the same realm would surely be a wonderful thing."

Faced with life and death, Gu Yueyan had abandoned all pretenses. His hair was disheveled, and he was extremely obsequious, begging for the possibility of survival.

At Beishan Pass, the celestial beings remained silent.

One day, a bitter feeling welled up inside him as he looked at the young master of the Ancient Moon in the distance, feeling that he was such a stranger.

Some felt a surge of satisfaction, as if they had finally vented their anger. This was especially true for the Celestials who had suffered at the hands of Gu Yueyan during the battle of the Black Netherworld.

Gu Yueqianfang's expression was bitter and indescribable. Logically speaking, he should have taken advantage of this opportunity to go and rescue them. However, the two people in front of him made him feel dead silent and he dared not make any rash moves.

He knew that if he dared to make any move, he would be met with a powerful attack from two half-step Grand Masters.

"You bastard! You old dog!"

Gu Yueqianfang was filled with hatred and rage.

The synonym for rage is incompetence; at this moment, he was powerless to deal with the situation before him.

The only hope is that the other members of the group who came on this trip will react quickly and come to rescue the young master.

Can.

Hou Xibai's expression was so gloomy it seemed like he was about to burst into tears. He looked at Gu Yueyan, who was pleading and begging for mercy like a dead dog in the distance. He could hardly imagine that this was the same young master Gu Yueyan who was once so spirited and invincible at the grand banquet.

"Wild Blade"

Fang Chengping stood atop the Fang family ancestral home, gazing at the distant scene with disbelief on his face.

He could hardly believe that the figure in the distance, flashing with lightning and exuding unparalleled dominance, was the same gentle and polite young man from the previous exchange banquet.

At this moment, the spirits of countless people at Beishan Pass were captivated by Mang Dao's aura. They looked at the figure in mid-air and at Gu Yueyan, who was begging for mercy like a dead dog.

The difference in skill is immediately apparent!

If this matter ends here, Chen Ping'an will gain both fame and fortune, not only greatly increasing his prestige but also reaping substantial benefits.

倘若

If what Kozuki Hiko said is true.

With so many witnesses from heaven and man, even if Gu Yueyan made some falsehoods, he would not deviate too much due to concerns about the impact on his reputation.

Chen Ping'an should know when to stop.

Those who witnessed the celestial beings' thoughts felt that the matter was probably over.

"I certainly watched a good show."

The tense expression on the celestial being's face seemed to relax a little.

In his view, since Gu Yueyan was willing to back down and offer substantial benefits, Chen Ping'an should know when to stop and not make the matter too embarrassing.

After all, Kozuki Hiko is no ordinary person.

Grandson of the Great Repairer, Young Master of the Ancient Moon!

But just when most celestial beings thought so, Chen Ping'an's calm and indifferent voice resounded throughout the universe from the distant sky.

"It seems that Young Master Yan is not ignorant of etiquette. I am quite satisfied with his attitude today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yueyan forced a smile onto his pale face: "I'm glad Lord Chen is satisfied. All that happened before was my fault. I will certainly make amends in the future."

These words immediately convinced everyone that the matter was about to end, with Chen Ping'an gaining fame and fortune, and Gu Yueyan risking his life, without the two sides completely breaking off relations.

Watching the battle from afar, Gu Yueqianfang, who had been stopped by others, felt a little relieved.

Today's events have greatly damaged the reputation of the Guyue clan, but fortunately, things haven't gotten out of control or reached a point where they are beyond repair.

"pity."

The short, stout Taoist priest thought to himself that it was a pity, and glanced into the distance.

However, he immediately felt relieved and uttered a silent sigh.

That's good enough.

This has exceeded expectations. Gu Yueyan groveled and begged for mercy, barely surviving. The Gu Yue clan's reputation is now irreparably ruined.

Kozuki Hiko, well, he's alive now.

We can't ask for too much.

Jiang Ruotong looked elegant in her white dress, her eyes like autumn water, lost in thought.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, Gu Yueyan hadn't finished speaking when Chen Ping'an's voice interrupted him, signaling the end of the matter.

His eyes were indifferent, and his voice was flat.

"Are you done talking?"

Gu Yueyan was stunned, his heart filled with extreme resentment. Such a direct interruption was something he had never experienced before in his life.

But circumstances forced him to submit, and he dared not show the slightest anger, saying sheepishly, "That's all, Lord Chen. From today onwards..."

Gu Yueyan was about to speak when he heard Chen Ping'an's words ring in his ears again.

"Now that we've finished talking, let's get going."

what?

Gu Yueyan's heart trembled violently. He was about to beg for mercy when he saw a flash of sword light in mid-air, his soul trembled violently, and a terrifying pressure poured down in an instant.

His expression changed drastically in an instant, filled with extreme anger and resentment.

"Chen Ping'an, how dare you deceive me!?"

boom!

Countless divine souls poured out from the dark moon mark between his brows as if they were free, their boiling aura proclaiming his rage.

But it had no effect whatsoever against that overwhelming force of the blade.

Powerless as a child, its boiling momentum was instantly suppressed, and the protective shield formed by the jade ruyi shattered inch by inch.

The blade's edge engulfed him, and he desperately activated his secret technique, intending to break through with a single strike.

But under that terrifying blade's force, everything was in vain.

"No!"

Gu Yueyan screamed in agony.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me! I am the young master of Gu Yue, the grandson of Da Xiu!"

Gu Yueyan made a final struggle, devoid of any gentleness, his expression extremely tragic.

As he cried out in endless agony, a hand covered his head.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

Like a drowning man clinging to the last piece of driftwood, Kozuki Hiko refused to let go.

"Spare me, spare me. I swear I will never oppose you again."

Amidst his wailing and pleas for mercy, two streams of sorrowful tears slid down Gu Yueyan's face. At this moment, he had lost all self-respect.

Chen Ping'an remained indifferent, his eyes unfathomable, quietly observing the young man before him.

Looking at this young master of the Ancient Moon, who not long ago was all-powerful and surrounded by admirers.

"really."

He suddenly smiled.

"When you're dying, it's all the same to everyone."

When death is imminent, no matter if you are from a noble family or a prestigious clan, you will hardly have any dignity.

It should be as it is.

Whether one is of noble birth or of exceptional bloodline, death is the only thing that is truly fair!

Chen Ping'an felt relieved and gently exerted force with his palm.

Pong!

The object in his palm burst open like a watermelon, scattering into the air.

His mind collapsed, and his soul vanished.

Even in his final moments, Kozuki Hiroshi's expression was still full of longing for life, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to be telling a story.

Do not!

I can't die!

Never die here!

I have not

Major overhaul needed!

How can I die here?!

Pong!

A crisp sound severed all thoughts, and everything returned to nothingness.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Young Master Gu Yue, grandson of the Great Cultivator, Gu Yue Yan, is dead! (End of Chapter)
