Im just going to give it a shot! Gu Suihans eyes flickered, and he clasped his hands into a hand seal. The little spiritual energy left in him instantly surged through his Spiritual ridians as he hoped that the body of an asura that his Extre Ra-Asu Breach was supposed to bring about would be able to hang in through this.
Inches Away Ends of the World! he chanted from inside the alternate space.
A strong wind blew rcilessly against his already battered body, and it didnt take long for Gu Suihans flesh to be blown so hard that his bones could be seen. His terrifying and strange skeleton made Li Rong gape in shock.
Thatsthats the body of an asura he uttered in shock. Gu Suihans thick and ssily intertwined bones terrified Li Rong slightly.
Ninth Iteration of Ra-Asu, Reversal of Destiny!
Gu Suihan didnt have the ti or energy to pay Li Rong any attention. He had barely managed to cover 300 ters when his body could no longer take it, and he had to erge from the alternate space. He quickly executed the Extre Ra-Asu Breach again while trying his best to hold his body together despite being on the verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth and yelled, Blazing Blood Escape!
Several spurts of blood sprayed out of his body as he stumbled off unsteadily at an insanely fast pace and disappeared instantly.
How can this be? What cultivation technique was that? How did he transform his body into an asuras? Li Rong went into a daze and murmured to himself as he stared blankly at the empty space in front of him instead of running after Gu Suihan.
After so ti, Gu Suihan slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes with a start and fished a jade token out from his pocket. He was relieved to see that it was still flickering.
He didnt have much ti to waste. The exit out of the secret realm was open for about half a day, but he was now left with less than 15 minutes to get to the exit. If he couldnt make it out by then, he would have to wait for death to befall him. Qi leaked like crazy from this secret realm, so it would collapse in less than ten years.
It should be about three kiloters away or so, muttered Gu Suihan. He endured the terrible pain he felt and took a few dozen Spiritual Stones with shaking hands and a leaf-shaped flying spiritual weapon. This was the best thing Gu Suihan got from killing Hang Chulong. This leaf was a proper low-grade spiritual weapon compared to Red Dust, which could barely be considered a spiritual weapon.
He surrounded the leaf with his spiritual sense and put as many Spiritual Stones into the leaves' slots before crawling onto the leaf. It was a simple move, but it was difficult for him to do now. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed that the flickering of his jade token was beginning to fade. He pulled himself together and made the leaf fly into the distance.
He only had enough energy to make the leaf fly about 15 centiters above the ground, and the speed was only a little faster than how fast a cultivator at Qi Activation could run.
Co on, go faster. Gu Suihan clenched his teeth to try and stay awake even as his world began to spin. He could vaguely make out a whirlpool that was getting smaller and smaller.
Finally, when the exit out of the secret realm was smaller than two ters, Gu Suihan made it out.
Gu Suihan had used up almost all of his spiritual energy by this ti, and he couldnt hang on anymore. Once he got out of the secret realm, he fainted.
Whats that sll? Gu Suihan woke up drowsily to the faint sll of perfu in the air. He instinctively sniffed a little harder and confird that he was in a safe place.
He had no idea who had saved him or how much ti had passed. But judging from this sll, he was in a girls room. The bed was covered in brocade, which ant that this person was fairly well to do. He could also hear so whispering outside, which probably belonged to the room owners servants.
If this room belonged to a court official or a noble who cultivated martial arts, he would be in big trouble.
He sighed inwardly and slowly opened his eyes to look at the elegantly furnished room he was lying in.
Footsteps ca towards him along with a pleasantly surprised voice, Oh! Youve woken up!
Gu Suihan turned to see a young lady with beautifully shaped eyes, a cute nose, and a small mouth standing next to him. Her pretty little hands were holding a fragrant bowl of chicken soup. He paused, then said, Thank you for rescuing . Where is this place?
Youre in Chongzhou, and youve been unconscious for more than two weeks now, she replied in a bright and chirpy voice. She slowly put the bowl of soup down and shyly tugged at her dress as she sat down on one side of the bed. She glanced up at Gu Suihan from ti to ti and quickly averted her gaze when he caught her looking at him like a frightened little bunny.
Gu Suihan remained silent for a long ti before he said quietly, Who are you? How rich is your family? Do your parents hold any positions in the governnt?
Wha? The young lady was flustered and didnt know how to answer. She didnt expect him to ask her such personal questions.
Hoho, a low and robust voice resounded from a distance. The door to the room was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man dressed in a brown embroidered long robe entered the room with confident steps. He said gently, Young man, dont worry. The people who were after you have already left. When we saw you, everyone thought you were already dead. My daughter, however, insisted on taking a closer look at you, and it turned out that you were still alive. You are truly blessed! Im only a rice rchant, so you dont have to be so suspicious.
Im sure you know who I am. Saving might bring calamity to your family. Arent you afraid of that? said Gu Suihan with a faint smile as he looked down at the nurous wounds all over himself.
The middle-aged man sounded a little displeased as he replied, What are you talking about? Ive never even seen you before. How could I possibly know who you are? I saved you purely out of goodwill.
Were all intelligent people here, so stop beating around the bush. Gu Suihan wasnt the least convinced. He had noticed a panicked look in the young ladys eyes earlier. She knew this middle-aged man was lying to him.
The middle-aged man looked a little awkward and felt sowhat embarrassed by how Gu Suihan stared at him with that distant look in his eyes. After hesitating for a bit, he decided to co clean. I noticed the token on your belt, so yes, I know youre a disciple of the Seven Kill Sect. Have you heard of an internal disciple nad Hang Chulong?
Hang Chulong? Gu Suihan looked at the man with a puzzled expression on his face.
Hang Chulongs family resides here. Because hes an internal disciple of the Seven Kill Sect, so family mbers think they can do anything they want without facing any consequences.
Wait. Are you going to tell that theres a jerk in his family whos taken a liking to your daughter and insists on marrying her? But you refused and chanced upon , so you were hoping that I could tell Hang Chulong about this and get him to call this marriage off? asked Gu Suihan in a mildly amused voice as he glanced at the young lady who kept stealing glances at him.
He didnt think the situation would be as cringeworthy as what he used to see in soap operas back on Earth.
Thatis exactly what happened, said the middle-aged man awkwardly.
Gu Suihans eyes started twitching. He didnt expect his sarcastic guess to be correct.
After Gu Suihan remained silent for so ti, the middle-aged man looked disappointed and sighed heavily. I know that Hang Chulong is an internal disciple, so if its too difficult for you to do this, then forget it.
He pretended to look at Gu Suihan casually to observe Gu Suihans reaction because he was sure that a young fellow like Gu Suihan would feel provoked by his remarks and rise to the challenge.
To his dismay, Gu Suihan continued looking at him strangely and didnt say anything for a long ti.
He was about to give up when Gu Suihan suddenly retrieved a head with a nasty-looking expression, ssy hair, and an indignant look in its eyes from nowhere and threw it onto the table.
Take a look. Is that Hang Chulong?
The young lady scread in fright when she saw the head and instantly leaped into the middle-aged mans arms. She trembled violently and seed terrified.
The middle-aged man paled in shock and gasped. He was too stunned to say anything when he saw the severed head rolling about on the table.
Whats happened? a loud shout ca from outside, and several muscular n with anxious looks on their faces ca barging into the room.
They had heard the young lady scream and thought that sothing terrible had happened, so they quickly ran into the room with weapons.
They didnt expect to see a sowhat familiar-looking head on the table.
The legendary formidable Hang Chulong, who was always received by his family with great fanfare every ti he visited ho, was dead, and his head had even been severed. Everyones heart was filled with shock, and they looked at Gu Suihan with fear in their eyes now.
Sir, my entire family is extrely grateful to you! The middle-aged man quickly pushed his daughter aside to bow deeply to Gu Suihan as he said these words with great sincerity.
Preserve this head properly, wrap it up nicely and send it to his family. That should do the trick. If they continue to make things difficult for you, wait till I co out of seclusion, and Ill wipe their entire family out. Gu Suihan motioned to them to leave the room with the wave of his hand. From now on, I will stay here to recuperate in isolation. This will take two weeks or so. We can talk again after that.
Yes, sir! I will leave you to recuperate in peace. The middle-aged man got one of his servants to pick up Hang Chulongs head, then waved everyone out of the room while dragging his daughter out even as she kept turning back to look at Gu Suihan before shutting the door behind him.
Once outside, the middle-aged man looked at his servants and said, From today onwards, all of you are to keep watch over this place round the clock. Do not let anybody go in and out without my permission.
Then he turned to say to his daughter, Xiner, that young man is a cultivator, and he does not belong to our world. He is not a man interested in material things or romantic relationships, so stop harboring any hopes.
