"Retreat." Following that, Gu Chen's indifferent voice rang out, signaling for them to step back and not to cross the line.

"What does he mean by this?" The young woman who had spoken earlier furrowed her brows in confusion.

"He's as arrogant as the rumors say. Just because he commands us to retreat, we have to obey? Wait till Elder Brother Zhong Jun arrives, he'll show this Gu Chen what's what!" the young woman said indignantly.

"Don't retreat, and you die." At this moment, Gu Chen's cold gaze swept over them, causing the two young women's bodies to shudder subconsciously.

"You!" Feeling the fear rising within her, one of the young women became furious, gritting her teeth.

"Don't provoke him!"

Though they said that, her friend, another young woman, and the male disciple who had spoken earlier from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect, were very clear-headed as they grabbed the angry young woman and prepared to move back.

"Hmph, I'm definitely going to have Elder Brother Zhong Jun chop him up into pieces!" the young woman muttered under her breath furiously.

Thud!

However, the next moment, a surge of sword energy came flying, and the discontented young woman was suddenly cut into two, her hot blood spraying onto her companion's face.

This abrupt scene left the other two members from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect utterly dumbfounded, standing there as if they had lost their souls.

"Ah..."

Screams pierced the air as the young woman's companion, panicked and overwhelmed with terror, looked at the blood covering her body and continued to shriek.

The male disciple was also greatly frightened. He hadn't expected that, even facing imminent death, Gu Chen would dare to be this rampant?

"Silence!"

Accompanying the shout, another wet slice was heard, and the screaming woman met the same end as the earlier young woman—decapitated by the sword energy in an instant.

Thump! The horrific scene frightened the male disciple from the Vault of Sky Sword Sect so much that he fell on his rear to the ground.

The other warriors who were not from the six major holy lands felt a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of their hearts at this scene. Indeed, it seems the Marquis of Wu An remained the same slayer of men, refusing to be shaken even as calamity loomed.

Moreover, many capable warriors noticed that Gu Chen appeared utterly calm, showing no signs of panic or haste, which led many to wonder if Gu Chen had some kind of trump card up his sleeve.

But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out how Gu Chen was going to turn the tables in the current situation.

As time passed, more and more people gathered on Qi Yun Mountain. From the top to the foot of the mountain, and even its surroundings, it was surrounded by a massive crowd of warriors, standing three layers deep both inside and out.

At this moment, Qi Yun Mountain was teeming with people, densely packed and impassable, so crowded that it could be considered congested.

Only the peak of Qi Yun Mountain, within the circle drawn by Gu Chen, remained solely his domain, as no one dared to overstep the boundary.

It could be said that this battle had become a grand event in Da Xia, the focus of attention from all over, with countless people watching closely.

After all, whether it was the six major holy lands or Gu Chen, they all held considerable renown under the heavens. Although people did not believe Gu Chen could win, this was, after all, his final battle in Da Xia, and naturally, there were many who were interested.

Of course, there were also fervent admirers of Gu Chen who believed that he could win, but they were far too few to be significant compared to the others.

As more time passed, Qi Yun Mountain became overcrowded, yet except for some young disciples, none of the divine warriors or so-called talents from the upper realm arrived from the six major holy lands.

To this, Gu Chen was not impatient. He understood that the six major holy lands were deliberately keeping him waiting, wanting to show him that he was not that important to them.

At the same time, the six major holy lands also intended to torment Gu Chen, aiming to make him anxious.

Unfortunately for them, they were destined to be disappointed by Gu Chen's reaction.

Nonetheless, it wasn't that Gu Chen had gained nothing. While he had not waited for the arrival of the men from the six major holy lands, he had been visited by others.

Whoosh!

A flash of light from the heavens above, and three figures descended to the ground—three young men clad in brocade. From their somewhat otherworldly demeanor, one could tell they were from the upper realm.

"Someone's arrived, look!"

"Eh, who are they?"

"Judging by their looks, they must be three talents from the upper realm."

People murmured among themselves. With the increase of upper realm talents and Gu Chen's previous battle at the Beidou Sect, the upper realm had become an open secret known to most of Da Xia.

"Are you the one who killed Brother Bi?" One of the young men of average build immediately began questioning Gu Chen upon arrival, clearly, a talent from the Red Cloud Sect and a friend of Bi Yu.

"Have you come on behalf of Bi Yu to seek revenge?" Gu Chen's expression remained calm, looking at him indifferently.

"Hand over Bi Yu's weapon, and you may be spared from death," the trio said with a cold laugh.

Gu Chen realized that their real interest was in the superb divine weapon rather than avenging Bi Yu.

Assessing them, Gu Chen noted that each of the three had reached the peak of the Divinity Realm, seemingly extraordinary, probably not much weaker than Bi Yu.

Together, they would have no problem dealing with someone like Bi Yu.

If that weren't the case, they wouldn't dare to confront Gu Chen, who had already killed Bi Yu.

"To desire a superb divine weapon, you must first have a life with which to claim it," said Gu Chen lightly.

"Attack!" The three men's eyes turned cold, ready to join forces against Gu Chen.

After all, what would it matter if they killed Gu Chen? The six major holy lands also wanted him dead. By striking, they would merely be doing the holy lands a favor.

"Quick, look, they've started!"

"Can the Marquis of Wu An match them?"

"Hard to say, those are three talents from the upper realm!"

People discoursed in whispers, not taking their eyes off the scene, clearly very curious about the so-called superb divine weapon.

At that moment, Gu Chen still appeared calm, or one might even say nonchalant, as he hadn't expected the main players to arrive but instead got three who walked straight into his hands.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous rumble shook the heavens and earth, deafening as though a thunderbolt had descended, nearly bursting the eardrums of warriors who were too close, leaving them seeing stars, unable to see or hear anything.

And this was the result of Gu Chen holding back; otherwise, their bodies would have exploded instantaneously.

Only after a moment did these warriors gradually regain their senses, and they hastily looked towards the scene.

"What?!"

In the next instant, seeing the scene nearby, their faces changed drastically with shock.

On the ground not far away, there were only three pools of bright red blood and some scattered flesh remaining.

In just an instant, three divine realm peak talents from the upper realm lay dead. Compared to previous rumors, in that direct confrontation, the people truly understood the formidable power of Da Xia's guardian, the Marquis of Wu An, Gu Chen!
