Chapter 582: Gu Qi’s Breakthrough!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu San Sheng’s injuries this time were very serious as not only were his internal organs damaged, but his source of blood Qi was also affected from the use of his Dharma Idol move. His cultivation level could be affected if he did not recover in time.
Another reason for returning to his manor was that he should not be seen by the public injured. It would make him look weak, just as though any Thousand Year King could injure him.
After all, many people were eyeing his position as the city lord. Those lackeys who obeyed him when he was strong might just revolt against him when he turned weak!
Ha, you think I don’t know what you all are plotting? I shall see how many are going to betray me.
In a bad state, Gu San Sheng looked like he could be taken down by any Hundred Year realm cultivator. However, he was laughing in his heart. Although injured, his foundation was still stronger than a Hundred Year realm cultivator’s. Traitors would only be seeking death.
A strange look flashed across Han Bing’s face. Nobody could guess what he was plotting. In the end, he suppressed his thoughts, and led his army of guards forward!
The Qi of these guards was linked while they marched, showing how well trained they were.
As the guards marched, clangs of metal armors could be heard.
Another ten guards were carrying ten sets of huge bow and arrow contraptions as they marched.
Arrows as thick as human arms were strapped onto the contraptions.
These 10 Hades contraptions were made out of special minerals, and had the special effects of removing blood Qi energy. They were incomparably terrifying.
Although these things were not very useful against Thousand Year Kings, and could not be considered powerful killing weapons, ten of them were still enough to easily slay a Second or Third level Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast.
That was because the forte of a Demonic Beast was physical strength. When the target was big, there would naturally be a larger surface area for the Hades bolts to hit.
“JIII!”
A terrifying roar rang out, piercing into the skies. The huge mushroom cloud, which enveloped a huge area of tens of li, coalesced together and burst outwards in all directions.
“How is this possible!? How come it’s still not dead?! What kind of monster is it!”
Gu San Sheng’s face stiffened, and he stopped his steps. When he heard that roar, Gu San Sheng’s scalp turned numb and his eyes twitched. He knew clearly how strong that rabbit was. To be able to stay in the epicenter of the Godly Thunder Strike and still be fine... What kind of a joke was this!?
“Prepare!” Han bing’s face changed, and he raised his hand, preparing to give the order.
“Gachi!”
“Peng!”
“Zeng!”
As expected of the City Lord Manor’s most elite personal troops, the moment Han Bing’s order came out, the cultivators numbering over a thousand did not panic, and instantly formed a huge battle array. After that, a teeth-numbing sound rang out as hundreds of bows were pulled together. The soldiers at the front lifted their heavy shields and created a protective screen before them.
The remaining cultivators unsheathed their blades and halberds, and a chilling killing intent surged through the entire area.
The one-thousand-strong troop moved as one body, each fighter tending to his own position. A faint shadow could be seen floating above the army, incorporeal and hazy.
“Badump!”
“Badump!”
A loud sound rang out like a beating drum which caused one’s heartbeat to unconsciously beat in synchronization with it. The thumping sound grew louder and louder; apart from the sound of the wind, there was nothing but that sound in an area of several thousand meters.
Gu San Sheng stopped his steps and stared solemnly at the slowly dissipating mushroom cloud.
“My Lord...” Han Bing turned and looked at Gu San Sheng, awaiting instructions.
Gu San Sheng shook his head lightly, his eyes still set far in the distance. “Don’t move rashly.”
Within the mushroom cloud, Gu Qi floated in the air with only its upper body remaining. Even its heart had been exposed from its chest.
The silver-colored heart began to thump slowly, each time stronger than the last. Each time it rang out, the entire space seemed to freeze for a short moment.
Gu Qi’s current appearance was incomparably wretched. Even after using its Death Substitution spirit power ability, it’d still nearly died. Because of this, it was extremely angry. The horrifying explosion had caused Gu Qi’s lifeforce to weaken greatly, and it was forced to use a portion of life essence to stay alive.
A small egg-sized portion of life essence contained enough energy to stuff even Bei Feng to death. But, to the gangster rabbit, this amount was just right for it to recover.
The horrifying life essence burst forth in Gu Qi’s body, spreading out through it in all directions. The injuries were healed rapidly, and its body regrew with a speed visible to the naked eye. A thick green light appeared around its limbs, and countless muscles and flesh grew out and intertwined with shocking speed!
The power to raise the dead and reconstruct flesh and bones!
The terrifying energy surged through its body, and numerous drops of incomparably viscous silverish blood formed and bubbled with a resounding sound.
“JIII!”
The gangster rabbit howled to the skies with rage. Its teeth had turned sharper and harder, and they glistened with a chilling light under the sunlight.
“Kacha!”
A loud sound could be heard coming out from the gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s body. Its Qi was strong to begin with, but it grew into an erupting volcano, shaking the ground!
Then the gangster rabbit Gu Qi restrained its Qi, regaining control while looking in a certain direction.
After what happened in Tianhuang City, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi had already attained Thousand Year King realm second layer. Now, thanks to a dire situation like this, it was able to break through again!
However, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi could not feel happy. It blamed itself for being too careless as it would have died if not for the life substitution spirit power.
Since it had broken through, it was time for Gu San Sheng’s guards to die.
With a clawing motion, a blood-red sword appeared in its paw, vibrating hard as though it understood its master’s desire for fresh blood!
Although the rabbit was able to feel the fierce Qi outside, it had no fear at all. Taking big strides, it stepped out from the mushroom cloud!
Gu San Sheng squinted from where he was, and saw that Gu Qi was very much alive. With goosebumps all over his body, he quickly waved his hand and commanded, “Fire the arrows! Kill it!”
“Fire!”
“Puchi!”
With a wave of Han Bing’s hand, the large, thick arrows were fired from some contraptions, flying straight at the gangster rabbit Gu Qi!
“Sou, sou!”
Not wavering, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi treated it like a walk in the garden as it watched the arrows approaching.
When the giant projectiles came within a distance of hundred meters away from it, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi finally moved. Its originally fat body became light and nimble as it tiptoed and stretched its body.
More than ten gangster rabbits suddenly appeared, each doing different moves and dispersing when they got shot with an arrow, revealing themselves to be just projected images!
“Fire again!” Han Bing did not relent, and ordered to continue shooting.
“Sou, sou!”
All the contraptions were aimed at the gangster rabbit Gu Qi, but not even a single strand of rabbit fur was harmed.
The sight frightened Gu San Sheng a little. The rabbit had already been strong before, so Gu San Sheng could not help but worry how much stronger it became now after its breakthrough.
Just thinking of it was enough to make the hairs on Gu San Sheng’s back stand.
I no longer have any Godly Thunder Strikes left, so it would not be good for me to fight, Gu San Sheng thought to himself, ready to flee.
“Han Bing, this Demonic Beast shall be dealt with by you guys while I go destroy the Lu Family,” Gu San Sheng instructed Han Bing with a troubled face before rushing off in another direction.
“JIII!”
The impatient gangster rabbit Gu Qi roared as it was bored from blocking so many arrows.
“Dang!”
A clock rang, catching the attention of everyone as huge floating rings flew towards the one thousand of cultivators.
The sound wave caused all the arrows to divert from their tracks before the floating rings crashed into the one thousand guards!
“Ang!”
The moment the sound wave reached the cultivators, a projection in the shape of a dragon appeared in the sky above them before clashing with the guards.
“Military Power!”
“This is the strongest army in San Chuan City, with every guard being in the Hundred Year realm. Together, they can defeat even the strongest enemy!”
“Once the one thousand guards get into formation, even a Thousand Year King might get defeated!”
“So this is the foundation of the city lord. Having such an army is enough to suppress any form of opposition!”
The cultivators standing below stared at the sky above, their faces full of envy. The city lord looked like the most powerful figure to them with all those resources at his command.
“Ji-ji!”
A long blood-red ray shot out from gangster rabbit Gu Qi’s eyes as its blood Qi erupted like a beastly deity!
Next, a hundred zhang tall Dharma Idol appeared from behind the gangster rabbit Gu Qi, looking nothing like it. The Dharma Idol looked more like a ghoul which crept out from hell!
As soon as the Dharma Idol opened it mouth, a silent roar traveled across the sky in all directions. Although it carried no sound, the roar still exploded in everyone’s minds!
“Ring!”
The sound was loud and sharp, ringing in everyone’s heads, making many cultivators shudder. Their heads then exploded!
While it was not an actual sound, it was still able to attack their souls!
