Danyang Mountain was in a mess.
The heavy rain washed away, but it could not cover up the smell of blood.
At this time, a group of people rushed up from the bottom of the mountain, under the banner of the Beidou Gang, and were plundering the remnants of the Danyang Sect.
Gu Zhan dragged the Heng Dao and walked in the heavy rain. Soon, he came to the place where Qi Baiyu was killed before.
From a distance, he saw Nangong Weiyang, who was wearing golden armor, supporting Jian Yi.
"Lord!"
When Nangong Weiyang saw Gu Zhan appear, she hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent people to collect the resources of Luo Danyang Sect."
Gu Zhan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll leave the rest to you!"
A slight smile appeared on Nangong Weiyang's face, she shook her head slightly and said: "The one who really worked hard is my lord. Nangong is ashamed that he couldn't do anything to help. I didn't expect that Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen would also be there." here."
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said: "You are responsible for leading the troops, and unraveling the conspiracy is not your job. What's more, if you hadn't taken precautions in advance and arranged for Jian Yi to guard here, I would have been able to do it alone. Leave Yuan Zhixiang and the others behind."
Today's battle,
The appearance of Qi Baiyu, Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen was outside Gu Zhan's plan. Before, they only knew from Qintian Prison that someone was behind Lu Yuandao's promotion.
However, he did not consider Sword King City.
Gu Zhan's original plan was to take the initiative and destroy the opponent's plan. On the other side, Nangong Weiyang led the men to sweep away the Lu Yuandao factions. However, Nangong Weiyang was worried and asked Yun Wei and Xiao Chen to lead the troops to raid the headquarters of each faction. , and she brought Jianyi to the Danyang faction to support Gu Zhan, just in case.
Nangong Weiyang’s idea is very simple;
Even if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, Jianyi is secretly coordinating it. If Gu Zhan fails, Jianyi will immediately take action and take Gu Zhan away, giving up the plan to capture Lu Yuandao.
She saw clearly,
No matter how big the Beidou Gang's framework is, it is now supported by Gu Zhan's own strength. Without Gu Zhan, the Beidou Gang's building would collapse overnight.
However, Qi Baiyu's appearance later was unexpected.
At that time, Nangong Weiyang was about to arrange for Jianyi to take action, but was stopped by Gu Zhan secretly releasing a signal. He delayed his appearance until Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen showed up.
However, Gu Zhan’s strength,
Indeed, it completely exceeded Nangong Weiyang's expectations.
She knew that Gu Zhan was very strong,
But I never expected that it would become so powerful.
Especially when she saw Gu Zhan using Thunder Slash, she was completely stunned.
She had given Thunder Slash to Gu Zhan, knowing that it had only been a few months, but Gu Zhan's control over Thunder Slash had far surpassed hers.
Looking at Gu Zhan,
Nangong Weiyang always has an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She is also recognized as the top talent in Yunzhou,
She had perfected the Thunder Slash that no one had perfected for hundreds of years.
Among the contemporary geniuses, although she knew she could not compare with Jian Yi and Qi Baiyu, she had not yet reached the point where she felt desperate.
But now facing Gu Zhan,
She really felt desperate,
This kind of gap made it impossible for her to think about catching up.
"Lord!" Nangong Weiyang called softly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhan asked.
Nangong Weiyang smiled and said, "I just feel that my lord's talent is really... really..."
“It’s so powerless!”
At this moment, Jian Yi, who was breathless, suddenly said: "Since I entered martial arts, I have met all kinds of geniuses, such as Qi Baiyu, Dao Pavilion Qin Hongyi, the seventh lady of the Gu family, etc., every one of them They are all the kind of monsters who can be called the best in their generation, but I have never felt that I am worse than them, but since I got to know you, my lord... that feeling of powerlessness has become stronger and stronger!"
Gu Zhan looked at Jian Yi, frowned slightly, and said, "You...retired your cultivation?"
Just now, Jian Yi had been supported by Nangong Weiyang, and Gu Zhan was still a little confused. Now that he felt it, he realized that there was no trace of cultivation in Jian Yi's body, and his aura was also very sluggish. It was obvious that he had lost his strength.
Jian Yi forced himself to take his arm out of Nangong Weiyang's arms, bowed to him formally, and said: "Lin Xiaoer has been in the lord's house for a long time, but he has not formally paid homage to the lord. Please invite me." My lord, forgive me!”
Gu Zhan held Jian Yi's arm and said, "Brother Jian Yi thinks highly of me, so let's move forward hand in hand from now on. Life is a long road, let's go ahead and cherish it."
Jian Yi smiled slightly and said: "Now I am giving up my cultivation, thanks to the Lord for not giving up."
Gu Zhan asked: "What are your plans?"
Jianyi said: "Fortunately, Qi Baiyu's white lion sword suppressed my demonic energy for a short time, and what he said to me at the end really woke me up. Huang Tingjing is the main force that pulls the demonic energy in my body." Factor, as long as Huang Tingjing exists for a day, it is impossible to completely suppress my demonic energy. Even if there is a great opportunity to suppress it forcibly, it will only be half-human and half-demon.
If I want to be a normal person, I can only destroy my Dantian and abolish my cultivation. From now on, I can peacefully be an ordinary person. Although I have lost my cultivation, but..."
Jianyi turned his head slightly and looked at Nangong Weiyang, and said: "I am very satisfied to be able to accompany Nangong like a normal person. I practice sword training just for Nangong. Without her, even if I am invincible in the world, It’s not unusual at all!”
A smile appeared on Nangong Weiyang's face, she held Jian Yi's hand and said: "I wanted you to practice in the first place to reduce the resistance for us to be together. Now...even if you are an ordinary person, it doesn't matter, I can protect you. .”
Gu Zhan: "..."
Nangong Weiyang smiled slightly, let go of Jian Yi's hand, looked at Gu Zhan, and said: "My lord, although Jian Yi has no cultivation now, his swordsmanship is still there, and he can be placed in the military town mansion. Be taught.”
Jian Yi also said hurriedly: "I can also organize and compile martial arts secret books. Well, speaking of it, I have a sword. If I compile it, maybe... it will break the existing martial arts rules."
Gu Zhan frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "What does it mean to break the rules of martial arts?"
Jian Yi looked at Qi Baiyu's body lying on the ground next to him and said, "Qi Baiyu finally used all his life to use his self-created sword called White Lion.
Perhaps, he didn't want this sword to be lost, so when he finally used that sword, he deliberately revealed the sword's intention to me in front of me. I will admit defeat to him because I saw this. sword. "
Jian Yi took a deep breath and said: "My lord... Qi Baiyu's sword at the end of his life was already transcendent!"
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "You mean he created a brand new path to martial arts?"
"No," Jian Yi said slowly, "It is beyond the limits of martial arts."
Jianyi looked at Nangong Weiyang, then at Gu Zhan, and said, "I don't know much, because the legendary secret of the cave is top secret in Sword King City. Even if I am Jianzi, they will not know much about it." I keep it absolutely confidential, but I also learned some things from a few words in Sword King City.
The land gods in the Cave Heaven Realm are no longer martial arts. The real martial arts is already at its peak in the realm of the ultimate master. The Cave Heaven Realm is actually another way of practice, but I don’t know what it is specifically. "
Nangong Weiyang said in surprise: "Another way of practice, what do you mean?"
"It no longer means martial arts," Jian Yi said in a deep voice: "Three thousand years ago, Martial Saint created martial arts, but at that time martial arts was very complicated, with various methods emerging one after another, good and bad, and the system was also very complicated. But in a thousand years, martial arts was very complicated. Two hundred years ago, the ancient Martial Ancestor was born, integrating the advantages of various martial arts, and deducing a Dacheng martial arts system, which is what we practice now.
However, this system actually only has no follow-up after reaching the ultimate master, and the land gods in the Cave Heaven Realm that we know are not in this system at all, and this realm actually existed before the Martial Ancestor, but It has been controlled in those top sects and has not been spread. "
Nangong Weiyang was shocked: "So, the Cave Heaven Realm is just a lie?"
Jian Yi pondered for a while and said: "You can put it this way, because the Cave Heaven Realm does not belong to martial arts at all, and the pinnacle of martial arts is the ultimate master.
However, Qi Baiyu's sword just now had the potential to break the limits of martial arts. Although he failed, it was because his sword was not perfect. If it had been perfect, perhaps he would be a comparable martial artist. With the existence of Saint and Martial Ancestor, he will open up a path forward for martial arts. "
"This..." Nangong Weiyang was shocked.
Gu Zhan suddenly remembered what Nie Guishen said before he died.
The ultimate master is not the end of martial arts.
And in the end,
Nie Guishen shouted, "I have a sword that can kill immortals!"
At that time, Gu Zhan didn't care.
Because Nie Guishen's sword was particularly awkward and weak.
And now, after listening to Jian Yi’s words,
Gu Zhan thought about it again,
This sword has a shadow of Qi Baiyu's last sword.
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind.
Nie Guishen must have made some guesses after seeing Qi Baiyu's sword, so he kept saying that he knew it too late.
After all, he is an ultimate master. He has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and has given up. However, before he died, he suddenly knew that there is still a road ahead for martial arts.
"I have a sword that can kill immortals!"
Only now could Gu Zhan realize how sad Nie Guishen was when he said these words again.
"Lord,"
Jianyi cupped his hands towards Gu Zhan and said: "I have memorized Qi Baiyu's sword. He may have really found the way forward for martial arts. Perhaps it is a coincidence, or it is destined. This sword cannot disappear, but... Now that my Dantian is gone, whether I can really get through it all depends on you, my lord!"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said, "No, I have my own way to go. It's up to you to inherit Qi Baiyu's legacy."
"Huh?" Jian Yi was surprised.
Gu Zhan looked at Jian Yi and said, "With your talent, it would be a pity to just be a tutor."
After all,
Gu Zhanyi pointed on Jianyi's forehead and said: "Qi Baiyu has walked out of his way, and I have also walked out of mine. Remember my current will, and maybe I can practice without Dantian. I hope Qi Baiyu will walk out of my way." Baiyu's sword can allow you to open up a new path!"
At that moment,
A wisp of martial arts will suddenly surged into Jian Yi's sea of consciousness.
a long time,
He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Gu Zhan with eyes full of horror and disbelief, and said: "Master, this..."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "You sense it well."
Jian Yi took a deep breath, calmed down after a while, and said: "I thought Qi Baiyu had found a direction and was at the peak of his era. I never thought that my lord... you had actually found a new path!"
After all, he is a person who stands at the top of martial arts.
He can sense the specialness of the martial arts will that Gu Zhan just exerted.
Pointed him in a direction,
This is a completely new direction of practice,
There is no direct method,
However, a warrior at his level doesn't need other people's techniques at all. What he needs is a direction, a direction that can break the limit.
Qi Baiyu's sword pointed him in a direction.
However, he couldn't verify that direction, and now, Gu Zhan gave him another direction, giving him a chance to verify it.
Immediately,
Jianyi once again formally bowed to Gu Zhan and said: "Once this way is revealed, a new prosperous era of martial arts will begin, and my lord will be the master of the world!"
Gu Zhan slowly finished his work.
Until now, through Jian Yi’s words,
He finally understood why the system's annotation about the next realm was "Unknown" instead of "Dongtian Realm".
Because of the way he is walking now,
It is a brand new martial arts,
The next realm is beyond the limit of the current martial arts.
A realm that has never existed before.
And this systematic deduction,
The most terrifying part is not being able to cultivate to the next level, but creating a new avenue of cultivation.
A brand new practice means that it can bring about a new era.
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that the next era will be an era of alternation between the old and the new.
He clenched his fist and said: "I'm more curious about what the Cave Heaven Realm is like, and who is stronger between the next level of martial arts and the Cave Heaven Realm!"
After that, Gu Zhan looked at Nangong Weiyang and said, "Nangong, I'll leave the finishing work to you. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first!"
Nangong Weiyang cupped her hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, leave this place to me."
Gu Zhan nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the direction where Gu Zhan disappeared, Nangong Weiyang asked doubtfully: "Lin Xiaoer, what did the Lord give you just now?"
Jianyi pondered for a while and said: "A new direction of practice can not only make martial arts escape from Dantian, but also exceed the limits of martial arts."
Nangong Weiyang was surprised: "This...is this for you? Isn't he worried that you will surpass him?"
Jian Yi shook his head slightly and said: "If you are worried about being surpassed by others, then you are not Gu Zhan. In the next thousand years, this world will be his alone!"
Nangong Weiyang narrowed her eyes and said, "Then we will all benefit from it."
Jian Yi smiled slightly and said: "Nangong, this time, I am convinced that I lost. If you say that I am a monster-level genius, then my lord can only say one sentence."
"What words?" Nangong Weiyang asked.
"The ancients will never be seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after!"
…
The next morning,
A market town at the foot of Danyang Mountain was deserted. Overnight, the original bustle and bustle disappeared. Only a few people who originally lived here, such as traders and some common people, still stayed.
All the people in the martial arts circles who could be seen everywhere on weekdays have disappeared. Even those who stayed did not dare to keep the logos of their respective sects. Only the flags of the Beidou Gang were planted everywhere.
In a large courtyard,
Gu Zhan was having breakfast. It was very light, just a bowl of gruel and some side dishes.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door,
Nangong Weiyang walked in wearing a battle armor, her face looked a little haggard, and it was obvious that she had not rested all night.
"Lord," Nangong Weiyang said with cupped hands: "The follow-up treatment of Danyang Sect has been completed, and only a few inner disciples have escaped."
Gu Zhan nodded,
There are still things to pay attention to when it comes to annihilating a sect. You only need to eliminate the true core of a sect. As for the outer disciples, they are just doing things in name, and some are just ordinary workers in the Danyang sect. That’s it, there is no need to liquidate these people, and they cannot be liquidated.
Just like the Beidou Clan, which claims to have hundreds of thousands of disciples,
But in fact, 90% of them just rely on Beidou to make a living. The real core is only those swordsmen who have worshiped the Tangkou, and their number accounts for a very small proportion.
Nangong Weiyang continued: "As for the information accumulated by the Danyang Sect over the years, they have been sent to Canglan City. Later, my subordinates will send someone to deliver the account books. However, the money is not much. After all, we have to maintain the operation of such a large sect. Most of the money is sitting outside.”
Gu Zhan also knew this.
Many people will misunderstand that a big power must have a lot of money. In fact, it is a misunderstanding. Just like those companies in later generations, many large companies may not have much working capital. Most of them are constantly operating and adding value. middle.
To establish a sect, the real key lies in taking over their external resources, such as their territory, business routes, production and revenue channels, etc.
"As for those cultivation secrets, there are quite a lot, as well as some magical weapons and so on. I have arranged for them to be sent to Canglan City." Nangong Weiyang took out a jade slip from her arms and said, "This is The Danyang Sect’s inherited magical power is the Tiangang Golden Body.”
Gu Zhan immediately took the jade slip and examined it.
Speaking of which, when it comes to killing the Danyang Sect, he is actually interested in only two things, one is the experience value, and the other is the magical power of the Danyang Sect.
The Tiangang Golden Body is a type of supernatural power that can be practiced horizontally. When you first get a glimpse of the door, you can turn into a fossil. It is very hard and invulnerable. But at the minor stage, it can be very flexible, and at the great stage, the body is like a diamond and is said to be hard. The most powerful weapon in the world.
Gu Zhan had already seen the power of this magical method in the Danyang Sect yesterday. He was very moved because he is a character who likes to do whatever he doesn't accept.
And this habit of his has earned him the name of the God of Killing.
But almost every battle would leave a lot of wounds on the body, and he would be very restricted during the battle.
He had practiced a lot of horizontal martial arts before, but none of them could keep up with his practice speed, and he was quickly eliminated.
Now, I hope that this Tiangang Golden Body will not be eliminated so quickly!
After Gu Zhan received the secret book of Tiangang Golden Body, the system immediately successfully included it.
Gu Zhan did not hesitate and immediately chose to add:
[Use 10 million experience points]
[Tiangang Golden Body upgraded to entry level]
[Use 30 million...]
…
[Use 50 million experience points]
[Tiangang Golden Body upgraded to Dacheng level]
…
In just a moment,
The Tiangang Golden Body was directly cultivated by Gu Zhan to the highest level.
A total of 90 million experience points were consumed.
It didn't cause any fluctuations, and it was only for a moment. Even Nangong Weiyang, who was sitting opposite Gu Zhan, didn't notice anything unusual.
"Thanks for your hard work,"
Gu Zhan looked at Nangong Weiyang and said, "Get a good rest. Today is just the beginning. There will be a long period of tough battle ahead."
Nangong Weiyang hesitated for a while, then cupped her hands and said, "My lord, this subordinate has something to say."
"But it doesn't matter." Gu Zhan said.
Nangong Weiyang pondered for a while and said: "My lord, in yesterday's battle, the appearance of Sword King City was somewhat unexpected, and you still killed two great masters, Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen. The conflicts between our two factions are irreconcilable. .
This matter is completely outside our plan. Sword King City will definitely not give up. Moreover, Jian Yi and I have also been exposed. With the prestige of Sword King City in the world, we will definitely be able to call on the entire Yunxi world to punish us. .
Whether it's the exposure of Jian Yi and I, the deaths of Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Guishen, or even the fact that you killed so many people in yesterday's battle, it can be the reason for them to besiege us. Next, our situation will probably be very serious. Difficult, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a public enemy. "
Gu Zhan took a sip of the porridge and said, "I know everything you said, what next?"
Nangong Weiyang said in a deep voice: "This time, we may face the oppression of the entire Yunxi, but with your divine power, my lord, the Beidou Gang will not be helpless to fight back.
However, it may not be appropriate for us to continue attacking Lu Yuan Dao at this time. Although no one in Lu Yuan Dao can stop our Beidou Gang, Lu Yuan Dao is so big after all. If we attack, our strength will definitely be scattered, and Without the home field advantage and the Nu River's natural moat as a support, they were at a disadvantage as they could easily be scattered and defeated by Sword King City, resulting in a complete defeat.
Therefore, my subordinates suggested that we change the plan and immediately withdraw to Canglan Road to fully prepare for the next war. At the same time, we also need to appease the hearts of the people inside. Otherwise, even if Jianghu orders from Sword King City, I am afraid that chaos will begin within our Beidou Gang. "
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, but there is no need to worry so much. Since this battle is inevitable, there is no reason for us to retreat. Let's fight here on Lu Yuandao. Well, so as not to make Canglan Road a mess."
Nangong Weiyang frowned and said: "Master, this..."
Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said: "You just need to do your job well. This time we will take down Lu Yuandao. You are the commander-in-chief. You only need to be responsible for leading the overall situation. Think about how to take down Lu Yuandao faster." Just let me get rid of you. As for the pressure from the outside, you don’t have to worry, just leave it to me."
Nangong Weiyang cupped her hands and said, "What do you plan to do, my lord?"
Gu Zhan stood up slowly and said, "It's definitely not feasible to retreat. I'm the first to take charge of the Beidou Gang, and I just need a tough enough battle to make the world remember my name."
As he spoke, Gu Zhan slightly raised his head and looked outside the door, where the fluttering snowflakes were flying. Gu Zhan said slowly: "Yun Xi's voice is too loud and I don't like it, so...
From now on, only my voice will be left in Yunxi! "
