After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 266 - 223: Next Time I’ll Show Mercy

Gu An was whisked away.

Rapidly escaping the bamboo forest.

Although the bamboo had vanished, as they distanced themselves,

The bamboo started to reappear bit by bit.

It seemed that Sword Immortal Tomb no longer welcomed outsiders.

Gu An did not know why, but he understood it had something to do with him.

Most likely, he had offended someone behind that door.

He just didn’t know who the other party was or what they wanted.

However, he did not regret not entering the door.

Things within his grasp, he would casually take.

Those beyond his reach, he knew better than to covet.

He already possessed the ability to log.

Other things, no need to be too greedy.

If all the treasures of the world belonged to him, trouble would surely ensue.

The first thing to suffer would be his own mindset.

Greed begets discontent.

Of course, what is needed must be fought for.

And if driven into a corner,

Then that door must be entered.

Despite the dangers, one must attempt it.

Where safety abounds, unnecessary risks are better left untaken.

Seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

During the expulsion, he saw Wei Wen, and also Luu Ping and his fellow disciples.

And they, of course, saw him, too.

But he was quite close to Wei Wen, whose greedy gaze Gu An found all too familiar.

It seemed he would come over as soon as he was no longer affected.

Luu Ping and the others would likely come over as well.

Quite troublesome.

After all, Luu Ping and his fellow disciples were no match for Wei Wen.

And with others present, it was inconvenient for him to act.

To save them would reveal himself, to not would be watching them get killed.

Neither outcome was desirable to Gu An.

So...

With utmost speed, he decided to kill Wei Wen first.

That would solve everything.

With his decision made, Gu An no longer hesitated.

As they landed swiftly,

Gu An’s hand clenched slightly, revealing Chasing Sun in his grasp.

The golden light of his body then circulated,

And he disappeared from his original spot, quickly heading towards Wei Wen.

Perfect Ground Golden Light.

Gu An felt he could take control of the situation.

As for speaking and then launching a surprise attack, that wouldn’t work.

The previous person had attacked out of nowhere; this one must be full of tricks, too.

Unable to outplay him, Gu An could only strike like thunder, hoping to awaken the man’s conscience and abandon his greed.

Elsewhere,

Wei Wen, having landed, had a Defensive Treasure appear on his body.

He then took hold of a sword in his hand.

Sword Intent flowed over it.

He moved towards Gu An’s direction at extreme speed.

Although the other appeared to be at the Golden Core Early Stage, Nolan Lin was indeed missing.

He had not seen her yet.

Regardless of whether it had to do with this Golden Core Early Stage, he had to be vigilant.

He would disable the other party first.

As for the direction, he had already calculated it.

He could swiftly approach; the other had no chance to escape.

Their gazes met, each likely understanding the other’s intentions.

Thus, a flight or preparation for confrontation was inevitable.

Should he be too slow, complications could arise.

However, as he advanced quickly, he suddenly saw a flash of golden light.

His pupils constricted in an instant.

The golden light, imbued with Sword Intent, was headed his way.

Who was this person?

Shocked, he channeled all his strength, ready to test the intruder’s mettle. After all, the bamboo forest should have someone of his own level of cultivation.

The attacker’s direct approach implied confidence.

Caution was still necessary.

Feeling the rush of the attack, Wei Wen’s sword gleamed.

His speed did not decrease but rather grew.

Then a stab was thrust forth.

Clang!

Blade edge against sword tip.

Boom! A tremendous force burst out.

Wei Wen intended to use his Sword Intent to break through the offensive in one fell swoop.

However, at the moment of sword and blade collision,

There came a crack.

His pupils constricted.

The sword was full of cracks.

Without hesitation, he began to retreat.

But his opponent, seizing the opportunity, was relentless.

The blade fell fiercely, its edge sharp and terrifyingly formidable. freēwēbnovel.com

Boom!

Wei Wen used his sword to defend.

But after a single exchange, the long sword shattered with a sound.

The sword’s energy fell onto his body.

Fortuitously, the Defensive Treasure surged forth,

Giving him a moment to breathe.

At this point, he still wanted to distance himself, to defeat the other with his vast Sword Intent.

However, as he attempted to retreat, he suddenly felt stuck.

A large hand had appeared out of nowhere,

Surrounded by black Qi, entangling him.

There was no retreat.

Even to dodge meant heavy injury.

He clenched his teeth, his Sword Intent concentrating in his hand, then cast his gaze solely on Gu An.

In that moment, all his strength converged into one strike from his hand.

And he slashed.

Puff!

In an instant, he was enveloped by a Prison Cage, fingers clenched tight.

Blood scattered.

Gu An, approaching, also faced this fearsome strike head-on.

For a moment, he felt immense pressure.

Chasing Sun in his hand, though rust-streaked, vibrated.

Gu An operated his Qi Sea Sky Gang, gathering the persistent Spiritual Energy into Chasing Sun.

Among all Sword Skills he knew, there was only Pingqiu First Style.

Gu An had no choice but to stiffen his resolve and lift Chasing Sun.

With a strike, he slashed.

Wind Rises!

Boom!

Blade light and sword shadow.

Dreadful power erupted.

Gu An was forced back by the vast Qi,

Retreating thirty-six steps, his sword-holding hand a bit sore, but he still blocked the strike.

Only...

Wind Rises was too weak, even with the Heavenly Gang Qi Sea’s reinforcement, against the Late-stage Primordial Spirit’s desperate strike.

It was still somewhat strenuous.

This wasn’t even a genius; if faced with one, his situation would be even grimmer.

Then he stepped towards the location of the Prison Cage.

Wei Wen was drenched in blood.

Staring at Gu An, somewhat incredulous.

"You..."

Gu An did not wait for the other to speak, he just stepped beside him, raising the blade in his hand.

With a slash,

"Next time, I will show mercy."
