The female Taoist priest's family was killed by mutated monsters, so she bore hatred for all monsters.
She stepped with ancient martial arts footwork, holding a Three-foot Cyan Blade, her body enveloped in thick Innate True Qi.
She unleashed a set of incredibly swift sword techniques, charging towards Gu Qijue.
Gu Qijue looked at the attacking female Taoist priest, expressionless and with icy eyes. Two Black Dragons let out a long roar and surged from behind him, opening their blood-red mouths, spewing black lightning as they charged over.
Bang! Clang! Crack—
Facing the Sword Qi emitted by the female Taoist priest's sword move, the two Black Dragons directly opened their mouths and tore it apart, killing towards the female Taoist priest in an instant.
Hmm?
The female Taoist priest's face slightly changed. She tapped her feet quickly, retreating like a shooting star.
"An Innate Martial Artist… just so-so!"
Gu Qijue's eyes flashed with a bloody glow, his body surging with violent lightning. With a roar, he shattered the concrete floor beneath his feet, charging towards the female Taoist priest in an instant. His thunder-clad hand rushed straight for her face.
The speed was incredibly fast, almost monstrous.
"How could this be?"
The female Taoist priest's eyes widened; she never expected this person to be so formidable...
With a slap, her cheek was firmly grabbed by Gu Qijue, then like tossing a chick, she was flung away violently.
Under the destruction of the lightning in his palm, the female Taoist priest's face was bloodied and unrecognizable, not a patch of skin intact, even her eyes were blinded.
"In your next life, don't be so arrogant!"
Gu Qijue snorted coldly, taking a powerful, unstoppable step to catch up, lifting a hand to crash down on the female Taoist priest with a palm kill.
If he was still at Mid Stage Tier Four, facing this female Taoist priest, he might have to bring out his strongest state.
After advancing to Tier Five, an Innate Ancient Martial Artist was nothing more than casually slaughtered.
"Stop!!"
The handsome monk only reacted then, suddenly letting out an angry shout, his body dazzling with golden light, raising a palm to strike out three golden palm seals towards Gu Qijue.
Bang! Roar!!
Gu Qijue drove the twin dragons up to tear apart the incoming palm seals, slapping down at the female Taoist priest's skull with a palm.
Accompanied by a banging sound.
Ugh!!
The female Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, died instantly, perishing on the spot.
"How could it be like this?"
The handsome monk's previous composure was gone, his face filled with fear as he looked at Gu Qijue, then turned without another word and fled at top speed.
As an Innate Ancient Martial Artist, he could fly briefly, but only ascend twenty to thirty meters at most.
He soared into the sky, attempting to escape from here.
"Stay here!"
Gu Qijue looked up, the lightning in his palm condensing into a Thunder Spear, hurling it straight at the fleeing handsome monk.
Whoosh!!
The Thunder Spear carved through the sky, appearing behind the handsome monk in the blink of an eye.
"No!!"
The handsome monk turned to see, his face ashen, circulating the True Qi within and striking out a Swastika Seal.
Boom! Bang—
The Thunder Spear collided with the Swastika Seal, the latter holding for less than two seconds before being broken by the Thunder Spear.
Thud—
The Thunder Spear, having shattered the Swastika Seal, unceremoniously pierced through the handsome monk's heart.
Ugh—
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body fell from over ten meters high, convulsing and vomiting blood as he died.
"So powerful…"
Witnessing Gu Qijue's strength firsthand, Su Qian's sensual lips parted slightly, as if seeing Gu Qijue for the first time.
Zhao Hu laughed wildly: "Haha! Boss is mighty, he should've killed these senseless arrogant fools."
This kind of swift and decisive, domineeringly powerful kill, made them greatly excited.
"Boss, our position is exposed, should we move immediately?"
Ji Shang approached, looking serious, and said.
Killing two Ancient Martial Artists had already strained things with the Empire; it's a big deal now.
The Empire might disregard the fifty-plus survivors here and just cover it with rocket fire.
"War General Lin, for your personal grievances, you killed two Ancient Martial Artists of the Di Yuan Group, you've really done it!"
Gu Qijue looked up at the sky, knowing the other side was surely watching through satellites, said coldly: "This school has over fifty survivors, if you want to recklessly kill, then bomb it!"
Gu Qijue wanted to see if they dared to be so insanely cruel.
"Damn it, how is he so strong?"
Lin Zhengxiao indeed was watching through the satellite, listening to Gu Qijue's provocation, his fists clenched, teeth ground, eyes fierce.
This was a new generation of satellites, transmitting not just images but sound accurately.
At this moment, Lin Zhengxiao really wanted to order a bombing right away, but he didn't dare.
If there were no survivors over there, he would order it without hesitation.
Even if he ordered it now, the present officers would surely oppose it.
Deputy War General Ye Zhan Country spoke solemnly: "War General, report this to the Upper Capital Di Yuan Group! This is beyond what we can handle."
"That's all we can do!"
Lin Zhengxiao sighed helplessly, saying to the adjutant: "Report this to the Upper Capital immediately, and send the video of the entire process. I'm not settling personal grievances using public means; rather, this monster not dying is a great harm to humanity."
"Yes!"
The adjutant responded and went to handle it.
Satellite Minister Lin Manjiao said: "Even Innate Ancient Martial Artists are no match for this Dragon Demon, isn't this too absurd?"
The Minister of Information said: "As far as I know, they are only at the Early Stage of Innate, if two Peak of Innate come, they should handle it easily."
Knowing Gu Qijue was also human, in fact, they didn't hold much hostility towards Gu Qijue.
He neither indiscriminately killed ordinary people nor randomly killed Super Martial Artists.
It was those arrogant Super Martial Artists who provoked him, and all ended up getting killed instead.
But Lin Zhengxiao kept dwelling on it, wanting to settle personal scores for his grandson.
Though everyone present here was of high standing, they couldn't change that those two Ancient Martial Artists and Lin Zhengxiao wanted to kill Gu Qijue.
...
"What, the assassination failed?!"
At the refuge, when Chu Mengxi received the news, she incredulously looked at a handsome man in a suit before her, saying: "That guy can even contend with Innate Ancient Martial Artists?"
"Not just contend, but… those two Innate Ancient Martial Artists were killed instead."
The handsome man in a suit shook his head, saying: "Mengxi, you've betrayed that monster; if he doesn't die, you'll be in danger. I'm sorry for putting you in danger."
This man was Chu Mengxi's first love, and it was because of him that Chu Mengxi acted as she did.
"Brother Chen, it's alright, the Di Yuan Group won't let him live. No matter how strong he is, when things blow up, President Chu might come personally, and he will surely die."
Chu Mengxi remained calm, saying: "Though he's human, he's somewhat against humanity; he will definitely die."
She never had much loyalty to Gu Qijue.
She only went along under Gu Qijue's unmatched strength, yielding under pressure.
Once realizing the Hidden Dragon Empire had a Di Yuan Group with many powerful Ancient Martial Artists capable of killing that man, she planned not to return.
The human heart is indeed fickle.
Especially when she's been forced.
Lin Yichen nodded in agreement: "Mm! My mom wants to see you, let's go!"
His mom was Satellite Minister Lin Manjiao.
