After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 261 - 221: Now That I Compare, My Ego’s Even Bigger

Chapter 261: Chapter 221: Now That I Compare, My Ego’s Even Bigger

Firelight swirled around, the force came like a storm.

At my position, I was at the core of all the power.

Once the firelight came in, the magic would burst forth.

As a mere Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, survival was impossible.

The opponent, a Mid-stage Nascent Soul, launched a sudden attack, equivalent to a surprise strike.

It caught me off guard.

Truly shocking.

Those who used to duel with me always liked to say a few words before finding an opportunity to act.

This time was different; I wanted to chat and then seize the chance.

Never expected a swift attack to come.

Not an underestimation, but judged as a Middle Late Stage Golden Core.

No wonder they dared to come here to kill, truly cautious.

Luckily, what I concealed wasn’t just one or two small realms, but an entire large realm.

Millions of thoughts flashed by in an instant.

The gap in their attack was indeed good, but my control over power and the perception of my surroundings were not lacking.

So, as the power surged, I was ready.

Watching the flames besiege me, Gu An gripped the long knife in his hands tightly.

The Qi Sea Sky Gang instinctively covered the blade.

Then, with the flow, a slash was unleashed.

Pingqiu First Style.

Wind Rises. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

The hurricane surged, lifting the ground, as Gu An felt this slash was slightly heavy.

But it faced no obstruction.

Boom!

The knife carved an arc on the ground and then extinguished the surrounding flames.

The blade was unstoppable, crushing the bamboo forest and heading straight for the person in front.

Nolan Lin’s attack shattered, leaving her somewhat dumbfounded.

She never expected such an outcome.

Yet she remained alert.

The Defensive Treasure was sent out immediately, a small shield emanating a soft glow to block in front.

And the blade light was closing in.

Then they collided.

Boom!

A roaring sound was followed by a crack.

With a "bang", the shield was split into two by the knife.

The blade light headed straight for her body.

Seeing this, Nolan Lin dodged to the side.

But the knife still grazed her shoulder.

Splurt!

Her left hand flew away.

Blood spurted forth.

Nolan Lin was shocked, disbelief in her heart.

How did she suddenly lose?

She came to kill, to kill a cultivator she could squish at any moment.

And suddenly, it was reversed.

Offense and defense had switched.

Though confused, she was sure the other party concealed their cultivation; she couldn’t handle him.

She had to leave quickly.

But just as she tried to flee, she realized a large hand had appeared under her feet at some point.

Dark Qi on it gradually enveloped her.

Prison Cage.

The shadow of death loomed over her.

"I submit, I am willing to offer everything, please spare my life, senior."

No more hesitations, she begged for mercy.

Her palm indeed paused for a moment, seemingly giving up on closing.

This let her breathe a slight sigh of relief; at least there was still room for dialogue.

There was still hope.

But just as she was thinking of how to deceive the man in front of her, to fight for a chance at life.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck.

Then she realized her vision was warping.

Her Protective Dharma Treasure also shattered in this moment.

Crack!

The surrounding bamboo fell to the sound.

Along with her gaze, it sank into the muddy earth.

Until death, she never knew where she went wrong.

Just dead by his hand.

Was it lack of caution, or too much caution?

At this moment, Red Armor Soldiers appeared, beginning to clean up the battlefield.

Gu An stood there, silent, looking at the knife in his hands.

This knife was average.

After bearing his power, it seemed it was not up to par.

The Qi Sea Sky Gang was slightly domineering, and the Sword Intent in his body had also surged forth just now.

So, almost immediately upon confrontation, he won.

"I wanted to find someone to spar with to suppress my inflated ego, never thought it would get even more inflated now."

For a moment, he even considered challenging a Late-stage Primordial Spirit.

What if he was a genius as well?

Able to fight above his class.

His ascent was fast, but being invincible in his class has nothing to do with fast progression.

Whether to challenge someone of a higher class was even more so the case.

Being invincible in one’s class is already a sign of genius.

Challenging someone above one’s class is the mark of Heaven’s Chosen Son.

Gu An shook his head, not daring to think further.

Now that the Mid-stage Nascent Soul was dead, the Late-stage one would likely not take long to come investigate.

It’s just a matter of how many days I can hide it.

I didn’t want to kill directly.

But they attacked suddenly, who knew what tricks they had planned for me.

If I had rashly stopped then, there might have been other dangers.

So I purposely paused the Prison Cage when she professed submission.

Just trapping her, not taking action.

Allowing her to relax for a moment.

Then killed her.

Sure enough, no further surprises.

At this time, I was holding her Storage Treasure.

Not much inside, just some Spirit Stones and some Elixir Pills.

Barely any talisman.

Only one Magic Treasure, just an ordinary Spirit Sword, reinforced with the power of a Late-stage Primordial Spirit.

"It seems not very wealthy."

Gu An was somewhat surprised.

Li Yue was at Golden Core Perfection, with over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

This Mid-stage Nascent Soul, just over three thousand Spirit Stones.

And the Elixir Pills were just simple Healing Pills.

"Killing people without gaining any possessions?"

Although Gu An was puzzled, he wasn’t picky.

He found that as long as he gave out Spirit Stones, he would quickly get more.

Now he had just over twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

Incredible.

How should he spend these Spirit Stones?

Previously troubled by the lack of Spirit Stones, now they were countless.

Taking a deep breath, Gu An decided to save money for the Returning to Void Skill.

At this rate of earning, there was indeed a possibility to buy it.

After that, Gu An continued cutting down bamboo.

Looking at the fallen bamboo, he always felt it was a pity.

But as long as he cut earnestly, he would feel that terrible sword energy.
