Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: 237 Made a Move (2/2)

“Liar,” Shen Guang said coldly, “Fine, if I kill you, I can naturally search it.”

Chu Xiyue could feel the killer intent coming from her opponent, her heart sank and she coldly replied, “Dare you kill me? Are you trying to provoke a full-scale war between our two families?”

Over the past thousand years, an unwritten rule has been established among the nine grand families: The strong shall not bully the weak.

Within the same realm, any disputes that cause one to be defeated or even killed, should not provoke revenge.

However, retaliation would be inevitable if the strong resort to bullying the weak.

Eventually, these disputes often escalate into wars between two grand families.

Such incidents have happened before. The outcome usually sees both sides left wounded and weakened.

Though the Chu Family might have declined somewhat, even a powerful family like the Qin Family wouldn’t dare to annihilate them. How could they sit back and allow themselves to be bullied?

A sinister smile flashed across Shen Guang’s face, “I’ll make it clear to you; my sole purpose of this trip is to kill you. As long as all of you are dead, people will only assume that Lu Yunshan was behind it.”

“What?”

Chu Xiyue was greatly shocked.

Shen Guang had successfully suppressed the defiance of the divine weapon in his hand, aiming it at Chu Xiyue.

He had spent all this time waiting for this moment to fully subdue the divine weapon.

If he was to frame Lu Yunshan, naturally, he could not use the Shen Family’s techniques.

This attack was Lu Yunshan’s signature sword technique, and even though he had only mastered the basics, it was more than enough to kill a First Rank warrior.

“Who do you wish to kill?”

Just then, a cold voice rang out from above. The barrier of mana was shattered.

An intimidating blade intent came sweeping from behind!

“The Mana Realm!”

Shen Guang felt a chill up his back. In a blink of an eye, he has disappeared into the darkness.

Chu Xiyue, who was locked down by the sword intent, faced a powerful figure from the Mana Realm and thought she was surely doomed.

When she heard the familiar voice next to her ears, her mind buzzed. She looked up and saw the familiar figure, staring at him in a daze.

“Gu Yang?”

Chu Yinxing, who was beside her, was shocked to see the man.

She never expected to reunite with Gu Yang under such circumstances.

For the past six months, no matter where she and Chu Xiyue traveled, they could always hear legends about him, from slaying the Golden Body as a First Rank, to breaking through to the Golden Body, and then to the first, second, third layer of the Golden Body …

His cultivation progress was unbelievably fast.

She had her doubts, suspecting these were just exaggerated claims and rumors. However, when multiple sources from other families also validated the claims, she had to believe.

Now, seeing with her own eyes how he forced Shen Guang – a powerful figure from the Mana Realm – to retreat, she realised the heights this man had reached.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her face changed.

Gu Yang was only at the third layer of the Golden Body, how could he possibly be a match for Shen Guang?

Chu Xiyue next to her also came to this realization and said urgently, “Run, he’s in the Mana Realm, you’re not his match…”

Gu Yang in the sky, looked down at her, gave her a faint smile, and his Phoenix Feather Knife started to glow.

Anenergy that was more potent than Lu Yunshan’s just now, suddenly erupted from Gu Yang.

Then, the Phoenix Feather Knife whistled through the air, slashing in a certain direction.

Sky-questioning Nine Slashes, the third move, Power Devours the Universe!

“Ah”

In the next moment, accompanied by a scream, a figure staggered out of the darkness. It was Shen Guang, who was now slashed in half.

Chu Xiyue and Chu Yinxing were bewildered.

Shen Guang, who was in the Mana Realm, had been cut in half by Gu Yang in one blow?

“What?”

At the other end, in a private room at the tavern, Tian Zheyu could not believe what he saw and almost jumped out of his seat.

When this man initially appeared, he was clueless about his identity until Chu Yinxing called out the name ‘Gu Yang’.

He then realized that the man was none other than the most talked about prodigy of their time.

Even in the grasslands, he had heard rumors about Gu Yang.

As he often corresponded with the Red Mansion, he was well-informed about Gu Yang’s exploits.

However, the strength Gu Yang was displaying, was undoubtedly of the Mana Realm.

“When did he manage to break through to the Mana Realm?”
