Co-manage the Gu clan together?
"I think dissolving the Demon Alliance is actually somewhat feasible. I'll go back and think about it for a few days, and give cousin Gu Heng my answer in three days. How does that sound?" Gu Bei looked at Gu Heng and said with a pleasant smile.
Gu Bei wasn't stupid. If you want to play games, then I'll play along with you.
A chilling gleam flickered in Gu Heng's eyes. Reply in three days? He had mobilized a massive force and surrounded the Demon Alliance with all these people. Was he supposed to just turn around and wait three more days? What a joke!
"There are so many names cousin Gu Bei could have picked, but you just had to go with 'Demon Alliance'—it really does invite comparisons to the
In the end, Gu Heng intended to annihilate the Demon Alliance. If they refused to dissolve voluntarily, he would besiege them until they had no choice. Anyone from the Demon Alliance who set foot in the Great World would be killed—no exceptions!
"Cousin Gu Heng, you jest. It was just a name I came up with on a whim. How could it possibly be connected to the Demon God Sect!" Gu Bei deflected casually, exchanging a glance with Lu Piao as he prepared to lead the Demon Alliance members toward a breakout point.
"To prevent cousin Gu Bei from going down the wrong path, it's only right for me as an elder cousin to properly educate you all!" Gu Heng sneered, then waved his hand. His forces charged toward the Demon Alliance.
Gu Heng had over ten thousand men under his command, while the Demon Alliance numbered only about a thousand. Moreover, the strength of Gu Heng's forces was clearly far superior.
"Kill!"
In an instant, a fierce battle erupted. It was a one-sided massacre—members of the Demon Alliance fell one after another.
The gap in power was simply too vast!
"Lord Bei, Lord Lu, we'll protect you as you escape!"
Gu Heng's palm surged with power—boom, boom, boom. Five Destiny-level experts from the Demon Alliance fell to his strikes in rapid succession.
"You think you can leave? Not so easy!" Gu Heng snorted and transformed into a streak of light, pursuing Gu Bei.
Gu Heng was a Celestial Star realm powerhouse who had already reached the pinnacle of that level—far stronger than anyone in the Demon Alliance. As his palm descended, the surrounding power of the Heavenly Dao condensed together, forming a massive palm print that slammed down toward Gu Bei.
Within that colossal palm print, silver lightning rained down like a torrential storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the silver lightning struck, two Celestial Star realm experts of the Demon Alliance were instantly annihilated.
"Gu Bei! Watch out!" Lu Piao shouted urgently from nearby.
Gu Heng laughed coldly. With him standing right here, Gu Bei actually thought he could flee? What a pipe dream. Gu Bei wasn't even in the same league as him!
The palm print bore down on Gu Bei, and countless bolts of silver lightning enveloped him from every direction.
Facing that sky full of silver lightning and the enormous palm print, Gu Bei felt as though his entire body was about to be crushed.
Was he going to be killed by Gu Heng? He was so unwilling!
Just as he was on the verge of being struck down, a single character flashed through Gu Bei's mind—the word "sword" that
When it came to comprehending sword intent, Gu Bei was without doubt a once-in-a-generation genius. Nie Li's sword character had given him boundless inspiration.
In that moment, Gu Bei seemed to sink into an extraordinarily profound state of realization.
Vast power of the Heavenly Dao surged from his body like a mighty river. A boundless starry sky appeared between heaven and earth, and at its center, an ancient sword three feet and three inches long, radiating the aura of a Sword Ancestor, suddenly materialized.
So this was the infinite mystery contained within that character all along!
Gu Bei focused his right hand, and the ancient sword seemed to come alive in response—like a spirit serpent it soared into the air, shooting straight toward Gu Heng's palm print.
