Chapter 36 The Battle of the Grandmasters
"Xiao Wu!"

Su Zhang looked at Zhang Zhuohang's head, which looked like a watermelon that was shattered by a palm strike, and her face turned pale.

She looked at the iron tower-like burly man with great horror, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This is a truly lawless desperado. He doesn't care how noble your status or how prominent your family background is. He will kill you at will.

Will he kill himself next?

"Hou Longtao killed Zhang Zhuohang here!"

The sturdy man roared to the sky, without even looking at anyone else, turned around and left.

Su Zhang was relieved at first, but then when she saw the body falling to the ground, she suddenly realized who had been killed.

That is the star of hope that my great-grandfather has high hopes for and has the greatest chance of bringing harm to the Shenzang Realm in the future.

He died in the Su family just like that...

When she thought of this, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

……

In the study, Su Lingshuang stared blankly at the headless corpse on the ground.

She was still a little bit unbelieving that Zhang Zhuohang, who knew her secret and had just threatened her with Gu Mingchuan, died just like that.

For several months, Zhang Zhuohang was like a huge rock weighing on her heart.

I didn't expect it to be solved in this way.

All the pressure in her heart was gone, and she felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

From now on, she no longer had to worry about anyone endangering Erlang's life. She could return to Minglong City, her warm home, and continue to live a peaceful life.

Thinking of this, she wished she could leave here immediately and return to Minglong City.

"Thank you."

Su Lingshuang looked in the direction where the sturdy man left and thanked him sincerely in her heart.

No matter why the other party wanted to kill Zhang Zhuohang, it did help her solve a huge problem.

……

Gu Mingchuan walked out of the Su Mansion with a swagger, and then left Pingjiang City in full view of everyone.

Then, he went straight to a small town more than ten miles away to meet Qingxue and asked her to wait for him at an inn outside Jiangzhou City.

"Leave immediately without any delay. If you don't want to die."

Qingxue nodded and left without saying anything else.

Gu Mingchuan waited for her to leave and then left in another direction.

……

On an unnamed hill dozens of miles away from Pingjiang City, Gu Mingchuan was sharpening a knife by a stream while adjusting the panel.

His eyes fell on the Five Elements Boxing that he had not used for a long time.

"add a bit."

He directly raised his proficiency in this boxing technique to the level of "perfection".

Among all the martial arts he knows, only this boxing style is the most compatible with the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art".

Those sword techniques can only exert their maximum power by using the internal energy.

"It seems that after returning, I have to learn a martial art suitable for horizontal training."

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself.

With his current strength, he can kill someone with less cultivation than him with just a single punch.

However, if he really encounters someone with similar strength or even higher cultivation than him, this "Five Elements Boxing" is not enough.

Just as Gu Mingchuan was thinking, he heard a slight sound of breaking through the air.

He didn't look back and continued sharpening his knife.

An old voice sounded, "Do you have a grudge against my Zhang family?"

He tested the blade and said casually, "No."

"Then someone sent you here. Tell me, who sent you here?"

"Do you think I will tell you?"

"It's not up to you."

The man behind him made a move, and with a chi sound, a sword energy came towards him.

Before the sword energy came close to him, Gu Mingchuan felt a sharp pain.

Compared with this person, Zhang Zhuohang's Qi, who is at the sixth level of Gangyuan, is like cotton.

No matter how strong his body was, he couldn't withstand it.

Can't be hardwired!

Gu Mingchuan dodged with a quick move.

Chi Chi Chi——

Waiting for him were dozens of sword energies.

The one who came to kill him was a gray-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe. Every sword move he made was extremely tricky.

Gu Mingchuan looked extremely embarrassed. He almost failed to dodge and his clothes were torn into several pieces.

He raised his sword to block the last blast of sword energy.

There was a sound.

The steel knife in his hand broke into two pieces.

"do not fight!"

It was the first time for Gu Mingchuan to fight such a frustrating battle. The opponent attacked from a distance and did not give him any chance to get close.

Moreover, he doubted that even if he got close, it would be difficult to break the opponent's protective qi.

That's a slap in the face.

Just run.

The old man in Taoist robes chased after him relentlessly, but soon he discovered that the other party had such strong explosive power that he could not catch up with him.

"I want to see how long you can run."

He sneered in his heart.

Although the explosive power of the Henglian warrior is strong, his physical strength will eventually be exhausted. The advantage of the Gangyuan warrior is that his qi channels are long, and his cultivation is better than that of the opponent. It is more advantageous for him to fight with consumption.

……

The two men chased each other from day till dark.

Then, keep chasing until dawn.

"You can't escape." Taoist Guangyuan stared at the figure in front of him and could clearly feel that the other party was almost reaching his limit.

The opponent's resilience was beyond his imagination.

I became more determined to get rid of this guy.

He is so young, yet he is already at the seventh level of divine power. Such a person has already made an enemy. If we can't kill him now, he will definitely be a disaster in the future.

At this time, they had already left the territory of Pingjiang Prefecture.

The boy kept fleeing to the uninhabited mountainous area. He crossed several mountains and no one knew where he was.

"is it?"

Then I heard the boy in front ask back a question.

Then, Taoist Guangyuan heard some sound and his face changed.

That is the sound of flowing water.

He felt something was wrong and was about to take a deep breath to catch up with him, but he saw that the boy suddenly accelerated and he could not catch up with him at all.

After a while, a wide section of river appeared in front of us.

"What happened today must be reported."

Taoist Guangyuan could only watch the boy jump into the river.

He came to the riverside, staring at the surging river surface, his face changing, but in the end he didn't dare to jump in.

Once in the water, his inner energy was greatly hindered and its power was greatly reduced, so he might not be able to defeat the opponent.

Because of this hesitation, he completely lost the other party's sense.

Taoist Guangyuan looked a little unhappy. He actually let the other party escape. In a few years, when the other party broke through to the eighth level of divine power, he might not be able to resist him easily...

After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, stomped his feet, and went in another direction.

Since we have already formed a grudge, I might as well not go back to the Zhang family.

Although he was over 60, he still cherished his life very much. He felt that he could live for another 20 to 30 years. He didn't want to lose his life for the Zhang family.

The world is so big, where can’t we go?

……

A few hours later, dozens of kilometers downstream of the Cangjiang River, the river surface suddenly became much wider and the turbulent water became calm.

Several pleasure boats were sailing on the river, with singing and dancing on board, as well as laughter of men and women, making the scene very lively.

One of the pleasure boats was unusually quiet.

"Yu...Xiaoyu, otherwise, let them go back."

On the boat, a young man in splendid clothes pleaded quietly, "If my aunt knew that I brought you here to visit a prostitute, she would break my legs."

Sitting next to him was Xue Ruoyu, who was dressed in men's clothes. She was sitting at a table. Next to her, a stunning woman was kneeling beside her, pouring wine for her.

This woman is none other than Miss Yuzi, one of the most beautiful girls in Xiaoyue Tower.

Xue Ruoyu took a sip of the wine, then poured it out and said to Yuzi, "Keep pouring."

Yu Zi lowered her head and obediently poured herself another glass of wine.

Today, these two guests reserved her and asked her to squat here and pour wine without doing anything. Her feet were numb from squatting, but she could only endure it.

The man in fancy clothes next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Miss Yuzi is like a fairy, why are you making things so difficult for her?"

He is Xue Ruoyu's cousin, named Shang Tiancheng.

Xue Ruoyu couldn't help but feel bitter, "She is a fairy-like figure, and I am just a weed, right?"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Shang Tiancheng quickly said, "I didn't mean...that."

He groaned in his heart. Ever since his cousin secretly left the city to hunt down a bandit and came back, her temper had become more unpredictable and moody.

He naturally heard about what happened a few nights ago when his cousin caused a big commotion in Xiaoyue Tower for a man.

However, he didn't dare to mention this matter at all and could only pretend that he didn't know.

Because of this incident, Xue Ruoyu was detained for a few days and was only allowed to go out today.

As a result, she took herself, chartered Miss Yuzi and a pleasure boat, and ran to the riverside outside the city.

She was obviously just angry and wanted to torture Miss Yuzi.

He will also be in trouble.

Anyway, I'm going to get a beating when I get back this time.

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out, "Look, there is someone in the water."

"Help! Someone fell into the water."

Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped onto the pleasure boat, and immediately, several guards drew their swords and stood in front of the two men.

……

"Don't be nervous, I just came to borrow some clothes."

Shang Tiancheng saw that the person who boarded the boat was a young man. Although he was shirtless and only wore shorts, he could tell that he had an extraordinary demeanor and did not look like a bad guy. So he asked the guards to leave.

Then, someone brought him a set of clothes.

After a while, the other party came out after changing his clothes, and said with a bow, "Thank you very much. My name is Gu Mingchuan. What's your name, brother?"

"Shang Tiancheng."

"So you are the third son of a merchant family. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Gu Mingchuan has now returned to his original identity. After escaping from the Taoist priest, the Hou Longtao alias can be temporarily taken offline.

He went downstream and unexpectedly returned to the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. He originally wanted to find a place to go ashore, but he heard Xue Ruoyu's voice. He suddenly became playful and wanted to see if she could recognize him, so he jumped onto the boat.

Now it seems that Xue Ruoyu didn't recognize him at all.

He can rest assured.

Shang Tiancheng said, "Brother Gu is here to watch the game too, right?"

Watching the game?

What battle are you watching?

Gu Mingchuan had no idea what was going on and could only hum vaguely.

Shang Tiancheng said excitedly, "A battle between two masters is something that only happens once every ten years. How can we miss it?"

Battle of Grandmasters?

When Gu Mingchuan heard this, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

If I have the chance, I must witness the battle between two powerful men in the Shenzang realm.
