Gu Nan held a long, bloody blade in his hand. Blood gushed from the decapitated corpse and dyed half of his body red. He resembled a demon who walked out of the abyss.
After beheading the enemy in one strike, the Blood Blade pulsed with a crimson glow. Gu Nan felt his neck grow slightly cold, and one-half of his neck was also sliced through!
The effect of Curse of Blood had activated, and equal damage had fallen onto Gu Nan as well.
However, Gu Nan had the Resistance skill, which halved the damage and even shielded him from most of the pain, so the curse had no impact at all.
He pressed his left hand against his head, keeping it from sliding off and adjusting it back to an upright position. At the sa ti, the cut was rapidly healing, the muscle tissue was continuously regenerating, and the skin was also regrowing itself.
Why are the Blood Blade and the Dawn Sage’s Robe complentary equipnt?
The reason was very simple. The effect of Praise of Dawn ant it would only take effect if the player didn’t receive any attack for three seconds, yet damage from Curse of Blood was judged as self-injury, not attack!
And the Resistance skill halved all damage no matter the source, so the three effects fit perfectly.
The remaining mbers of the Seven Stars Team were about to attack Gu Nan all at once, but after watching helplessly as Han Lingtian was beheaded in a strike, they froze on the spot for a while.
Han Lingtian died on the spot, while Gu Nan walked towards the remaining mbers step by step, one hand carrying the Blood Blade and the other hand pressing against his head to keep it in place.
As he walked, the wound on his neck was still bleeding, so the whole scene looked extrely creepy.
Gu Nan’s pace seed both slow and fast. In the blink of an eye, he had reached an enemy.
This person was the youngest in the team. He was a genius worthy of his na. At this ti, he was already prepared. He imdiately unsheathed the longsword at his waist and rushed forward..
“Kill!” The young man shouted angrily, “Rember, the one who’ll kill you is called…”
Swish!
Gu Nan made a diagonal slash, cutting both the young man and his sword from the right shoulder to the waist—the youth’s words stopped abruptly without ever getting to say his na.
Simultaneously, a gash also appeared on Gu Nan’s right shoulder, but this ti, it was far less serious than the injury on his neck; it was rely a bloodstain.
The youth’s physique and defense were far inferior to Han Lingtian’s, so the equivalent damage was far lower this ti.
Under the effect of Praise of Dawn, the bloodstain didn’t even have ti to spread before it started healing, disappearing in an instant.
Lan Bing’s scalp felt numb, but as the commander of the Seven Stars Team, she still cald herself down.
“Everybody calm down!” She glared fixedly at Gu Nan with beautiful eyes. “That blade of his isn’t normal, but as long as we can avoid it…”
Before her voice fell, she felt a chill from above her head, so she subconsciously activated her innate ability, disappearing instantly and turning into a cloud of mist that floated to the side and finally reford into a human shape.
When she reappeared, Lan Bing’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. She had traversed the sea of stars for over ten years and encountered many life and death situations, but she had never seen such a chilling scene before…
“Turning into mist? Interesting.” Gu Nan’s voice suddenly echoed from both nearby and afar, as if coming from all directions.
Lan Bing pressed down the fear in her heart. She was about to speak but realized that her surroundings were too quiet.
She turned suddenly and discovered an astonishing fact.
The rest of her teammates, including Fourth Brother, who had half of his face torn off, had all been bisected. None survived.
Only then did Lan Bing realize that Gu Nan had made six swings simultaneously just now. Taking advantage of his incredible speed, he struck six people at the sa ti.
‘If not for my special innate ability, which allows to turn into mist and ignore attacks from swords or blades, then I’m afraid I would’ve also beco one of the souls reaped by his blade.’
Her anger at seeing her companions wantonly slaughtered and the instinctive fear in the face of death surged into Lan Bing’s heart simultaneously, delaying her hand movent for a second.
Gu Nan’s blade fell again.
However, just when the blade was about to touch Lan Bing, sothing strange happened.
The space above Lan Bing seed to be pulled apart, layer by layer. When the Blood Blade entered this odd space, it was just like entering the endless void. The strike couldn’t land on Lan Bing.
Lan Bing was surprised. She quickly turned herself into mist again and dodged to the side.
“Space,” Gu Nan’s face was a little grave as he murmured. The law of space had an extrely high rank, and the person who secretly made a move just now was also quite good.
Lan Bing also realized what had happened. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. “Elder Xu, thank you for saving !”
As if to echo Lan Bing’s words, a figure slowly appeared behind her. It was an ordinary old man in a normal gray shirt.
If you put him on the street, 90% of people would probably overlook him. However, he was a genuine powerhouse, both in Ruby Fish Star and in the Ninth Region.
He was the pillar of the Xu family, the only Domain Stage cultivator on Ruby Fish Star—Xu Yuanjun, or Elder Xu.
This Elder Xu first beca famous when the Xu family had encountered a crisis that almost reduced them to a second-class family.
It could be said that Xu Yuanjun’s efforts to turn the tide allowed the Xu family to exist up until now and still stand as the top family in the capital.
Apart from Elder Xu, the number of Prodigious experts in the Xu family far surpassed that of the Gu and Long families as well.
“Xu Yuanjun?” Even Gu Nan had heard of his reputation before. ‘This person has space-type skills and doesn’t have a high attack, but it really won’t be easy to kill him.’
Even Gu Nan could only think one way, which was to brainlessly pursue the other party and kill him in a war of attrition.
But killing him wouldn’t give Gu Nan any benefits. Why waste so much effort? As a player, Gu Nan rely ignored the rules, but he never felt that he was soone who enjoyed killing.
‘Mm, definitely not.’
So Gu Nan cald down and said, “If you save this woman, be careful that I’ll slaughter the entire Xu family.”
Lan Bing imdiately glared at him, her anger surging up again.
‘This person really is reckless. How dare he threaten Elder Xu to his face? Even if he advanced to Domain Stage, he can’t possibly be a match for Elder Xu. There is a difference of decades of accumulation between them!’
Xu Yuanjun said helplessly, “Lan Bing is my good friend’s daughter. Since Your Highness has already killed Hall Master Zhou to vent your anger, is there a need to kill her too…”
Before he could say the last word, he felt his vision blur, and Gu Nan’s figure suddenly disappeared.
A slash to the head!
Unlike Lan Bing, Xu Yuanjun wouldn’t overlook Gu Nan’s power. His expression was grave, and the space in front of him stacked on top of each other, layer after layer, and pulled an endless distance between them.
This was the sa as his previous trick, however…
Gu Nan wouldn’t fall for the sa trick twice!
The mont before Gu Nan’s Blood Blade fell, the power of shadows suddenly burst out wildly and broke through the wall of space in an instant. Xu Yuanjun’s law of space was destroyed, so naturally the previously insurmountable distance between them also disappeared.
The old man’s face changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his right hand. His sleeve expanded infinitely and blocked the blade.
The next instant, his figure had reappeared ten ters away. Elder Xu wasn’t hurt, but a section of his right sleeve had been sliced off.
His brows furrowed into a knot and he wanted to speak, but Gu Nan’s figure had already reached him. Without giving him any chance to speak, Gu Nan slashed with his blade again!
“To think that he can keep up with teleportation using his own innate speed…” Xu Yuanjun saw what Gu Nan had done. He imdiately felt shocked and baffled. ‘Is he even human?!’
In just one second, Gu Nan slashed thirty-one tis, and Xu Yuanjun also teleported thirty-one tis, just happening to dodge at the right mont each ti.
However, when the last swing ca, Xu Yuanjun paused a little, taken aback when he didn’t see Gu Nan chasing him.
Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Lan Bing, who was still frozen in place over there, had already been beheaded by Gu Nan without even a chance to react—with the power of shadows at full power, she had no chance to turn into mist at all.
It turned out that after thirty-one displacents, Lan Bing just happened to be outside Xu Yuanjun’s domain now.
When the breeze blew by, the grass of the adoption center was already covered with blood and flesh. A faint bloody stench was blown up and drilled into the noses of the people around.
Xu Yuanjun stood in the distance, looking at Gu Nan with a frown.
