Chapter 296: Chapter 260: Killing the Grandmaster (Part 2)

"Encountered him," Gu Zhan said in a deep voice, "It was Xiao Xiangzi from the Five Poison Sect who came to assassinate me!"

Tan Lang’s face changed, and he said, "Are you okay, and Xiao Xiangzi’s poison..."

Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve already killed him!"

Tan Lang’s eyes suddenly widened, and his heart was filled with shock,

He didn’t doubt Gu Zhan’s words,

This matter would soon be exposed anyway.

After a moment, Tan Lang recovered from his shock and raised a thumb, exclaiming, "Brother Gu... formidable!"

Gu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Let’s talk about today’s situation first."

Tan Lang hurriedly replied, "The specific situation is not very clear, only that not long ago, some Demon Dao villains suddenly tried to assassinate a few prodigies from the Beidou Bang. Those people were premeditated, only attacking once, and whether successful or not, immediately fled,

They were also prepared ahead of time, striking fatally, immediately triggering Earth-Fire-Thunder to cause chaos. Dragon King and Protector Xiao didn’t even have time to act before being diverted by two experts from the Ghost King Sect. It seems that other sects faced similar situations.

However, it looks like their real target was you, killing others was just to create chaos, fortunately, you weren’t harmed!"

Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who did the Ghost King Sect send that could actually divert Dragon King and Protector Xiao?"

"The sect leader Yunzhong Jun and Grand Elder Ghost Fang of the Ghost King Sect!"

Gu Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes,

Yunzhong Jun, the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect, is recognized as one of the top ten experts of the Demon Dao, in terms of seniority and reputation not below Dragon King Mo Jingzhou, while the Grand Elder Ghost Fang of the Ghost King Sect is also a famous Grandmaster, equally unfathomable.

Gu Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, "Which direction did Protector Xiao go?"

Tan Lang paused for a moment, puzzled and said, "Brother Gu, you..."

Gu Zhan said quietly, "I’ll go take a look, don’t worry, with Protector Xiao there, nothing will happen to me!"

Tan Lang nodded, raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Went towards the Cyan Bamboo Forest!"

"Good!"

Gu Zhan nodded, tapped the ground, and instantly transformed into a stream of light, swiftly flying away.

"Such remarkable Qinggong!"

Tan Lang looked at Gu Zhan disappearing into the night and exclaimed in admiration, then turned his horse’s head back towards the Beidou Bang headquarters.

...

The Beidou Bang’s base is located near the outskirts of Great Desert City, the choice of this location is not due to Beidou Bang being unqualified to reside in the city center but because it is nestled by the mountains and rivers, with several streams flowing continuously.

All are cultivating the Water Manipulation Skill,

Gu Zhan naturally understood why Mo Jingzhou chose this place.

And behind the Beidou Bang base, there’s a large mountain, covered with green bamboo, hence the name Cyan Bamboo Forest.

Gu Zhan carried his bow and arrow and Jade Bone Saber, performing Lightweight Lingyun Soar towards the Cyan Bamboo Forest, even from afar, Gu Zhan could feel the unusual fluctuations coming from the Cyan Bamboo Forest direction, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was extremely chaotic, yet crazily surging towards there. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Gu Zhan flew to a hilltop, stood on the branch of a towering tree, quietly blending into the night, even if someone was there, it would be difficult to spot Gu Zhan standing on it, his breath also converged to an extreme.

Pupils slightly constricted,

Even in the deep night, his gaze remained as bright as day, without any hindrance, seeing distances far beyond ordinary people, which is the basic quality for an archery expert.

A successful archery expert,

Not only needs to master archery skills but also the basic qualities of an archer,

Marvelous Qinggong, profound Breath Concealment Technique, keen hidden eyesight, and exceptional vision surpassing ordinary people.

An archer,

Is an ominous presence lurking in the shadows.

At present, in the Cyan Bamboo Forest, a great battle was erupting, the great mountain was in chaos, bamboo forests being destroyed, rocks flying, fearsome airwaves shaking the mountain as if it were quaking.

A giant shadow several dozen feet tall was manifesting, roaring thunderously, like lightning thunder, its body possessing a pair of deep golden eyes, with golden light radiating, its fists pounding madly.

This was the Dharma Golden Body of Funeral God Xiao Chen.

Generally, at the Grandmaster Realm, few resort to using the Dharma Golden Body because although it is powerful, it consumes greatly, and Grandmasters have already achieved the Realm of Heaven and Earth Resonance, the Great Dao being simple, every move perfectly attuned, unless in a life-or-death struggle, they wouldn’t use the Dharma Golden Body.

And now, in that great mountain,

Xiao Chen’s Dharma Aspect flickered, indicating that the opponent had truly pushed him to his limits.

And atop the great mountain,

There was also a black shadow swiftly moving through the mountain gorge, drifting like a plume of smoke, occasionally uttering some taunting words, this shadow was Ghost Fang, the Grand Elder of the Ghost King Sect.

In terms of seniority and reputation within the Martial World, Ghost Fang’s standing is similar to Xiao Chen’s, the age gap between them is not large, in the last righteous versus evil war, they had crossed hands, so they are old acquaintances.

He also took advantage of Xiao Chen’s short temper to deliberately provoke him,

Though his objective is to delay Xiao Chen,

If he truly gets a chance to kill Xiao Chen, he wouldn’t mind taking it.

Xiao Chen’s power is terrifying, bold and expansive, and he possesses innate Divine Power; if confronted directly, unless one possesses a Divine Technique of strength-type, very few in the same Realm can face him head-on, even among Supreme Grandmasters, few are willing to directly clash with him.

In contrast, Ghost Fang excels at agility techniques, which is why the Demon Dao sent him to delay Xiao Chen.
