Acting Cool and Getting Instant Karma

As soon as Gu Qingfeng's words fell, Qian Yun and Chu Batian, who had already been on high alert and secretly prepared, saw the other party was determined to fight. The two of them immediately shot backward, seizing the initiative to strike first.

Clang!

A wisp of crimson cold light shot out, transforming into a three-inch flying dagger, crystalline and translucent. Its blade resembled a crescent moon, shimmering with a bloody radiance.

This was Qian Yun's Blood Moon Flying Dagger, his trump card. Facing the notoriously fearsome Gu Qingfeng, he didn't dare to be overconfident and went straight for a killing move with his first strike.

This flying dagger was a Great Luo Immortal Weapon from ancient times, containing within it a strand of overwhelming Dao sharpness that could pierce through anything.

With a single slash from this dagger, the indestructible body of an ordinary Golden Immortal could be easily breached.

"Go!"

Qian Yun shouted.

The three-inch Blood Moon Flying Dagger spun rapidly in the void, carrying with it a soaring, fierce aura. Its sharp edge was peerless, dazzling and brilliant.

Chu Batian was not idle either; the two attacked almost simultaneously.

He drew the golden war blade from his back. Instantly, golden light flooded the sky as if the sun had fallen to the mortal realm.

The blade of the war saber burned like fire, fierce and intimidating. Its surface was covered with strange and mysterious talismanic inscriptions.

The Tyrant Sun Heavenly Blade!

Another Great Luo Immortal Weapon, mighty and peerless.

With a single slash.

Whoosh!

A blindingly brilliant golden blade aura, carrying a wave of ferocious and vicious energy, rose horizontally across the sky.

Seeing their unreserved attacks, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth.

"Truly worthy of being prodigies from major powers, offering Great Luo Immortal Weapons as soon as you make a move. This Emperor is almost feeling embarrassed."

His words claimed embarrassment, but Gu Qingfeng's movements were not the slightest bit slow.

Two jade-white palms, etched with Dao patterns, suddenly shot out. They pierced through layers of void and spatial barriers, heading straight to meet the Tyrant Sun Heavenly Blade and the Blood Moon Flying Dagger.

Screech!

A sound of metal grinding, grating enough to set teeth on edge, rang out.

In the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded. The Tyrant Sun Heavenly Blade and the Blood Moon Flying Dagger were both easily caught in Gu Qingfeng's palms, unable to advance another inch.

It was as if snakes had been pinched at their vital seven-inch spot.

The expressions of Qian Yun and Chu Batian instantly changed drastically.

"Impossible!"

To withstand a Great Luo Immortal Weapon with his physical body!? This was something even the indestructible body of a Golden Immortal couldn't achieve!

What they didn't know was that even before Gu Qingfeng became a True Immortal, his physical body had long since not been inferior to that of an Indestructible Golden Immortal. Now that he had become a True Immortal and transformed into a True Immortal's physique, the strength of his body had risen by who knows how many levels.

Even with Great Luo Immortal Weapons, the two of them were ultimately not Great Luo Golden Immortals and could not unleash the full power of the weapons. Attacks of this level simply couldn't breach his defense.

If a true Great Luo Golden Immortal were here, striking with a Great Luo Immortal Weapon in hand, Gu Qingfeng probably wouldn't be as composed as he was now.

However, the truly terrifying thing always comes after breaching the defense.

When you exhaust all your strength and finally manage to injure Gu Qingfeng, you would discover that besides having high defense, he also possesses an indestructible body, immune to all calamities, deathless and undying.

The two exchanged a glance and, with remarkable decisiveness, abandoned their Great Luo Immortal Weapons, turned, and fled without the slightest hesitation.

But before absolute power, fleeing only adds to the ridicule.

Gu Qingfeng stored away the two Great Luo Immortal Weapons, then waved his hand fiercely. The magical power from his body surged forth, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and sun, grabbing towards the two.

The sky instantly darkened. Qian Yun and the other were scared out of their wits, frantically unleashing all sorts of divine abilities and spells in a desperate attempt to withstand this colossal hand. Yet, everything was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly futile.

"My life is over!" the two screamed in despair. In the end, both were caught and pulled back by Gu Qingfeng.

He clenched his fist forcefully. With a series of sickening crunches, all the bones in their bodies shattered. They lay on the ground like two limp noodles, utterly limp.

"Emperor Gu! Spare—"

Before their pleas for mercy could fully escape their lips, Gu Qingfeng directly pressed his two large hands onto their heads and grabbed fiercely. His eagle-hook-like fingers dug into their skulls.

Amidst their continuous wails of agony, Gu Qingfeng proceeded to directly search their souls, and incidentally absorb all their magical power.

A moment later, two desiccated corpses lay on the ground, devoid of any life force.

Gu Qingfeng had also obtained the information he wanted.

It turned out one thing Qian Yun said was true: this guy really loved reading books, especially ancient texts.

He had found a description of the Innate Thunder Extremis in ancient texts and mistakenly believed Gu Qingfeng possessed it, which was why he could help others overcome tribulations. Thus, he conceived malicious intentions.

But knowing he couldn't win alone, he joined forces with Chu Batian to set a trap, planning to use the backlash of the Feixian Sect's mountain-protecting grand formation to achieve their goal.

Unfortunately, for Gu Qingfeng, who controlled various demonic and evil powers, the emotions, evil thoughts, and killing intent of anyone were like bright lamps in the dark night—utterly exposed and impossible to hide from him.

After this minor interlude, Gu Qingfeng turned his gaze towards the ruins of the Feixian Sect.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "These two were really not bad. Not only did they deliver two Great Luo Immortal Weapons to this Emperor, but also such a generous gift."

Saying this, Gu Qingfeng flew straight towards the Feixian Sect ruins.

Gu Ling'er, standing to the side, anxiously said, "Hey! You're really going? Since these two dared to use this place's formation for their trap, it means the formation must be extremely dangerous."

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly, looking down with an air of superiority. "In this world, there is no formation that can stop this Emperor."

Then, he reached out to touch the Feixian Sect's mountain-protecting grand formation.

Boom!

In the void, countless cracks suddenly fissured. Azure divine flames rushed out, transforming into a vast, mighty azure sea of fire that surged from all directions.

Simultaneously, the auspicious clouds burning like fire in the sky suddenly poured down a torrential rain of fire, like a breached river of flame.

In an instant, Gu Qingfeng's entire person was engulfed by the azure flames.

The terrifying might of the flames caused even Gu Ling'er, who was quite far away, to pale with shock.

"This is fire that touches the level of an Immortal King!"

She desperately rushed towards Gu Qingfeng. However, by the time she arrived, the azure flames had already receded, and Gu Qingfeng's figure had also vanished, as if his entire being had been completely incinerated by the flames.

Witnessing this scene, Gu Ling'er stood frozen on the spot, dumbstruck. The bright light in her beautiful eyes instantly vanished, as if she had lost her soul.

"No! It can't be! How can you just die like this!" Gu Ling'er cried out miserably, as if struck by a heavy blow. Like a madwoman, she searched everywhere for any trace of Gu Qingfeng.

She even took out a Soul-Summoning Bell, continuously forming hand seals, attempting to summon Gu Qingfeng's remnant soul.

Yet, no matter how frantically she shook the bell, she received not the slightest response.

At this moment, Gu Ling'er completely broke down. She threw the Soul-Summoning Bell to the ground and burst into loud sobs.

"You bastard! I told you not to go, but you insisted! What am I supposed to do if you're dead! You've seen everything, touched everything... and you haven't even taken responsibility for me yet! Waaah..."

"Cry! What are you crying for? This Emperor isn't dead yet." Gu Qingfeng's voice suddenly came from behind Gu Ling'er.

Gu Ling'er's sobbing instantly ceased. She turned her head in disbelief, delicate tears still hanging on her exquisite face.

When she caught sight of Gu Qingfeng's figure, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up with an extraordinary brilliance, brimming with surprise and joy. She rushed straight toward him and threw herself fiercely into his embrace.
