Holding the Life Executioner Saber, Gui Hai stepped out of Borderless Heavenly Capital鈥檚 defensive ritual array and charged Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Now, nearly everyone gaped. They knew that Gu Hai was driving the power of the Han Nation, but that was Sect Master Heavenly Access, one of the experts standing at the peak of the world.
He charged over just like that?
One on one? Without helpers?
The Han Nation citizens goggled. The surrounding spies goggled. Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist appeared stunned. Even Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 face evinced disbelief.
Gu Hai is alone? He is charging in to fight me by himself?
This is impossible! He is seeking death! This isn鈥檛 eight hundred thousand years ago. There are no Go Dao laws now. What gives him the confidence to fight me by himself?
The Mosquito Daoist had feared Sect Master Heavenly Access immensely. Hence, when he saw Gu Hai charge in, he felt shocked but also proud. Perhaps he had made the right move.
Kong Xuan glanced at Gu Hai in amazement.
Kong Xuan had a certain insight into Gu Hai鈥檚 strength. Even I cannot deal with Sect Master Heavenly Access. Can His Reverence do it?
However, Gu Hai had already charged out, regardless of everyone鈥檚 apprehensions.
Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist charged Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 disciples.
鈥淢osquito Daoist, you ate my junior sister! You are seeking death!鈥?Daoist Duobao and Holy Mother Jin Ling roared in rage.
Countless sword qi rushed at the Mosquito Daoist.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a surging cloud of black mosquitoes filled the area, spreading into the sea of sword qi. While there were plenty of sword qi, there were even more mosquitoes. Now that the Mosquito Daoist joined the Han Imperial Dynasty鈥檚 fight, he put in his best effort without holding back.
Kong Xuan鈥檚 figure flashed, and he turned into a ten-kilometer-tall peacock with an overwhelming demonic aura. It did not hold back, either, opening its mouth and devouring countless sword qi.
Sect Master Heavenly Access glared at Gu Hai. 鈥淭o think you dare to come out and seek death?!鈥?
Sect Master Heavenly Access extended his hand and grabbed another sword qi, which turned into an Immortal Executioner Sword. Then he swung again.
鈥淣o matter how many you have, it does not matter. I failed to strike you earlier. Let鈥檚 see where you can flee to now!鈥?Gu Hai shouted coldly.
He executed the Eighth Cycle at the Immortal Executioner Sword again.
Using the Eyes of Life and Death, Gu Hai saw an even more critical weakness than earlier and swung at that spot.
A huge tear ripped open in space as the saber rushed towards the Immortal Executioner Sword.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as the Immortal Executioner Sword exploded again. The immense force blasted Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 palm.
Rip!
Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 sleeve ripped, and a bloody gash opened on his arm.
鈥淲hat? Master!鈥?The distant Holy Mother Jin Ling鈥檚 expression changed.
Buzz!
Many mosquitoes took this opportunity to hem in Holy Mother Jin Ling.
鈥淓vil beast, scram!鈥?Holy Mother Jin Ling roared indignantly as she brought out many enchanted treasures, and a powerful barrier appeared.
However, the black mosquitoes could absorb any energy. They consumed the barrier鈥檚 energy in the blink of an eye and closed in on Holy Mother Jin Ling.
鈥淏e careful!鈥?Holy Mother Huo Ling shouted as she unleashed a vast flame to burn the black mosquitoes.
鈥淔lames? The black mosquitoes can eat them too. Hahaha!鈥?the Mosquito Daoist guffawed.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from innread.com.
The black mosquitoes promptly swarmed the two women.
鈥淪enior Brother, save us!鈥?
Boom! Boom!
Daoist Duobao tossed out many enchanted treasures before he managed to save the two women. However, the two women still ended up in sorry states. The Mosquito Daoist gave relentless chase as they fled.
Up in the sky, Gu Hai鈥檚 second saber strike gained the upper hand in the clash.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 impossible! The Eighth Cycle should not be this strong. Even without strength rivaling mine, you can break my Immortal Executioner Sword?鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access exclaimed in shock and fury.
鈥淓ighth Cycle!鈥?
Gu Hai swung his saber again with a savage expression.
Refusing to accept this outcome, Sect Master Heavenly Access waved, and one hundred sword qi turned into Immortal Executioner Swords that swung at Gu Hai.
However, these one hundred Immortal Executioner Swords actually reduced the pressure on Gu Hai, as they were too scattered and had even more weak points.
鈥淏reak!鈥?
Boom!
A loud report rang out, and the one hundred Immortal Executioner Swords exploded.
Gu Hai continued advancing towards Sect Master Heavenly Access, forcing Sect Master Heavenly Access to back up.
This bizarre scene horrified the surrounding spies.
鈥淭his is absurd! Gu Hai is pressuring Sect Master Heavenly Access?鈥?
鈥淭hat is Sect Master Heavenly Access! How is he not a match for Gu Hai?鈥?
鈥淚 must be seeing wrong! I must be!鈥?
Several spies showed expressions of incredulity, while several Han Nation citizens showed wild joy on their faces.
So what if we face Sect Master Heavenly Access? When His Reverence makes his move, he can pressure Sect Master Heavenly Access, preventing Sect Master Heavenly Access from retaliating.
鈥淵our eyes?鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access suddenly realized.
He noticed Gu Hai鈥檚 eyes. When he saw those eyes, it made him recall the Six Paths Veritable Lord from the past.
When they fought the Six Paths Veritable Lord in the eighteenth layer of hell, the Six Paths Veritable Lord used these Eyes of Life and Death. These eyes looked almost identical.
鈥淗ow could you know it too?! That鈥檚 impossible!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access exclaimed.
鈥淣othing is impossible! Again! Don鈥檛 run!鈥?Gu Hai shouted.
鈥淚 underestimated you. Hahahahaha! Those eyes can see all weak points? Back then, the Six Paths Veritable Lord used these eyes to see Long Zhanguo鈥檚 weak points. Hahahaha! I understand now! I understand!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 eyes turned cold.
Sect Master Heavenly Access waved. The Four Immortal Executioner Swords surrounding Borderless Heavenly Capital flew over immediately.
鈥淎h!鈥?Far away, Kong Xuan gobbled up Zhao Gongming in one gulp the moment Zhao Gongming lost the Four Immortal Executioner Swords鈥?protection.
鈥淜ong Xuan, you killed my brother! I鈥檒l kill you!鈥?San Xiao roared furiously.
鈥淗umph! So, you are allowed to kill two hundred million citizens of Borderless Heavenly Capital, but I鈥檓 not allowed to retaliate? What a joke!鈥?Kong Xuan opened its mouth again and swooped towards San Xiao.
On the other side, the Four Immortal Executioner Swords immediately surrounded Gu Hai and Sect Master Heavenly Access. When the sword ritual array activated, sword qi filled Gu Hai鈥檚 surroundings.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe you have eyes on your back. Gu Hai, you indeed have many secrets. They will no longer be secrets after I capture you. Hahahaha!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access guffawed.
鈥淗aha! Capture us? You don鈥檛 even know if you can flee today!鈥?Gu Hai snarled.
鈥淵ou are just relying on those eyes? The Eighth Cycle? You can only execute the Eighth Cycle. That pair of eyes cannot keep helping you. The Six Paths Veritable Lord only used it for a while. Can you keep using it? It must drain a lot of energy. Let鈥檚 see how you are going to attack when you can no longer use those eyes!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access sneered.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access spoke, he operated the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array. All the sword qi within the sword ritual array suddenly turned into Immortal Executioner Swords. A powerful, destructive force surrounded Gu Hai, leaving him nowhere to hide. Sect Master Heavenly Access seemed to have found a path to certain victory.
鈥淒o you think the Eighth Cycle is all I am capable of?鈥?Gu Hai sneered.
鈥淗uh?鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 face sank as a dreadful foreboding swept him.
鈥淐ycle Saber Technique鈥?鈥?Gu Hai showed a ferocious expression.
鈥淣inth Cycle!鈥?Gu Hai hollered as his expression distorted.
Boom!
When Gu Hai swung his saber, a towering manifested saber appeared out of nowhere, reaching the sky.
When this manifested saber appeared, everyone鈥攂e it Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, or Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 disciples鈥攕topped fighting and turned to Gu Hai in shock and horror.
The Ninth Cycle. Gu Hai had executed it in the eighteenth layer of hell. Even the Six Paths Veritable Lord could not deal with it. When he used it then, he even exploded the stars of an entire galaxy.
Now, Gu Hai executed it again?
As everyone gazed at the spatial tear that seemed like it could even cut the sky, they held their breath.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 impossible!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access roared in shock. All the material Immortal Executioner Swords in the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array exploded before the saber鈥檚 might. It was just like the stars from before; they all exploded.
Unable to resist, the Four Immortal Executioner Swords immediately got blasted into the surroundings. Among these, the Immortal Executioner Sword flew in Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 direction. He caught it and blocked hurriedly.
The manifested saber continued towards Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Sect Master Heavenly Access tried to block with all his might. However, he had not expected this. Gu Hai can execute the Ninth Cycle? This should not be possible! How is this possible? How did he grow this much stronger all of a sudden?! This is impossible!
鈥淎rgh!鈥?
A shriek rang out.
This saber strike knocked Sect Master Heavenly Access from Borderless Heavenly Capital鈥檚 vicinity to distant outer space, sending him more than a billion kilometers away.
Boom!
As the spatial tear closed, it pulled in a vast amount of air, triggering intense winds and a sonic boom.
Many stars in outer space exploded.
At the same time, Sect Master Heavenly Access鈥檚 clothes tore, countless wounds on his body spurting out blood, and his hair was in disarray. He cut an extremely sorry figure.
He gripped the Immortal Executioner Sword, blocking with all his might. The Immortal Executioner Sword had cracks all over it, clearly having borne the brunt of the earlier saber strike. The blow was beyond its endurance, and it shattered.
Bang!
The Immortal Executioner Sword exploded.
Blargh! Sect Master Heavenly Access spewed a mouthful of blood.
Time seemed to stop.
Gu Hai held the Life Executioner Saber and pointed it at Sect Master Heavenly Access with a ferocious expression.
Far away, Sect Master Heavenly Access was utterly defeated. The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array had exploded, and the Immortal Executioner Sword shattered. Sect Master Heavenly Access was covered in blood and severely injured.
This scene is weird, right?
Shouldn鈥檛 it be Sect Master Heavenly Access thoroughly humiliating Gu Hai?
How can this be? How could it be Sect Master Heavenly Access getting humiliated?
The surrounding spies were horrified, not knowing what to report to their various factions.
The Han Nation citizens felt euphoric.
Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist goggled incredulously.
鈥淭here are no Go Dao laws or peak energy, and the mortal soul is not monopolizing the body? His Reverence鈥?His Reverence has now鈥︹€?Kong Xuan鈥檚 eyelids twitched wildly.
Now, Kong Xuan understood that Gu Hai was already truly strong. He did not need to rely on external force to defeat Sect Master Heavenly Access.
All Gu Hai had done was borrow energy from the Han Nation citizens. However, there was nothing wrong with a sovereign borrowing energy from the citizens. Otherwise, what was the point of establishing a nation?
In other words, as long as Gu Hai was in Borderless Heavenly Capital, his home ground, even Sect Master Heavenly Access was not his match.
Blargh!
Sect Master Heavenly Access spewed another mouthful of blood. He stared at the Immortal Executioner Sword鈥檚 hilt in his hand, unable to accept this outcome
Gu Hai鈥檚 eyes that flashed black and white lights? No, it was not those eyes. He relied on his strength to surpass mine.
How could it be like this?
Heavenly Access looked down at the ferocious Gu Hai, and profound sorrow welled up in his heart. Am I now no longer a match for even Gu Hai?
鈥淓veryone, let鈥檚 leave!鈥?Sect Master Heavenly Access roared, feeling hatred and heartache.
鈥淵es!鈥?Heavenly Access鈥檚 surviving disciples quickly fled in distress.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access left, he waved his hand, collecting the Immortal Executioner Sword鈥檚 fragments and calling back the Immortal Killer Sword, the Immortal Trapper Sword, and the Immortal Ender Sword, which had shot into the surroundings.
Whoosh!
Sect Master Heavenly Access disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
鈥淲here are you running to?!鈥?the Mosquito Daoist roared furiously, intending to pursue Daoist Duobao.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need to give chase!鈥?Gu Hai shouted coldly.
鈥淵es!鈥?The Mosquito Daoist and Kong Xuan immediately flew over.
Gu Hai flew back to Borderless Heavenly Capital.
鈥淗is Reverence is mighty!鈥?the countless citizens and officials cheered in incredible excitement.
This victory boosted their adoration of and confidence in Gu Hai to unprecedented heights.
鈥淗an Nation citizens, the evildoers have retreated! We have demonstrated our nation鈥檚 might!鈥?Gu Hai shouted.
Roar!
The golden blessings dragon flew out of Gu Hai鈥檚 body and soared into the blessings cloud sea, roaring, and Gu Hai鈥檚 voice reached all the citizens.
鈥淭he Han Nation is undefeatable!鈥?Cheers came from the various cities.
However, Gu Hai did not revel in these cheers. Instead, he entered the Soaring Palace Hall.
Creak! The Soaring Palace Hall鈥檚 doors closed, leaving Gu Hai in the palace hall alone.
Blargh!
Gu Hai spewed a mouthful of blood.
