Chapter 563: Chapter 181: The Descent of the Blood Gu Sect’s Gu God! Fan Wu: Now it gets interesting! (10,000-word mega Chapter, please subscribe)_3
Having said that,
he immediately turned around and ran towards the outside of the hall, and then he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.
"What is this?" In the field of vision of the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine, a gigantic monstrous insect was rampaging through the Imperial Palace! The insect was like a worm with four robust forelimbs.
Each time one of its forelimbs struck the ground, it would leave a deep crater in the very solid white jade floor of the Imperial Palace.
The insect’s body was extremely massive, and it would take ten people to possibly encircle it with their arms.
However, the head of the monstrous insect was not that of a bug’s.
It was a person’s.
"This..." The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine’s pupils contracted, "Isn’t this person one of the Imperial Guards?"
He remembered that face, and even the attire the other was wearing, which was that of the palace guards.
"Damn it! Traitor!!" The Thousand Household Leader immediately realized that this was a Sect Disciple from the Blood Gu Sect who had been hiding within the Imperial Palace!
He had deceived everyone!
Including him, the leader of a thousand households.
And including the Crown Prince.
The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine no longer had the time to ponder who had let this man become one of the Imperial Guards, nor did he have time to think about how many years the other had been hiding inside the Imperial Palace, and how many years he had endured in patience.
Because he noticed... the individual who appeared to be an Imperial Guard but was actually a Sect Disciple from the Blood Gu Sect
had now turned his gaze upon him.
In that moment!
The Thousand Household Leader felt as if the air around him had frozen, and he could sense a tremendous oppressive force surging over his body.
The other was...
Very strong!
"Evildoer! Meet your death!" An Imperial Guard clenched his teeth and, wielding a blade, slashed towards the massive body of the Blood Gu Sect disciple.
Pfft!
When the sharp blade struck the insect’s body, it only managed to make a very shallow cut.
So shallow it was a wonder if it even reached a millimeter deep.
And the cut that he had inflicted was visibly healing to the naked eye.
Almost in the blink of an eye,
the wound had disappeared without a trace.
The eyes of this Imperial Guard bulged; he was sure that his blade could even sever a piece of wood, or at the very least, carve a notch in a section of steel.
What in the world was this bizarre creature? Why was its defense so absurdly strong?
Suddenly!
The sound of whooshing wind reached his ears, and the Imperial Guard turned his head only to find one of the monstrous insect’s forelimbs swinging towards him.
With incredible speed!
There was no escape!
Just as the Imperial Guard thought he was going to die right there, he suddenly heard the sound of metal clashing right in front of him.
At the same time, he saw a tall and burly figure appear before him; he had no idea when the other had shown up.
"Tsk..." Fan Wu tightly gripped the forelimb of the eerie monstrous insect; it somewhat resembled the strange insects he had encountered in the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
Yet it was significantly different.
"Thank... thank you..." The Imperial Guard standing behind Fan Wu was drenched in a cold sweat.
He knew that he had been saved by someone.
At the entrance to the palace.
The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine also saw Fan Wu suddenly appear, causing his prepared action to pause abruptly.
"Daoist Fan Wu?" This Thousand Household Leader from the Imperial City was aware of the existence of Fan Wu.
And upon seeing Fan Wu, he breathed a sigh of relief because he knew that Daoist Fan Wu was formidable.
Moreover, under the current circumstances...
This Daoist Fan Wu from the Qiulong Temple definitely was not an enemy of the Imperial Palace.
On the body of the strange monstrous insect, the Sect Disciple of the Blood Gu Sect, who only had half a body, also turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze onto Fan Wu.
The Blood Gu Sect disciple spoke: "You are not a member of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, so why would you interfere in this matter?"
"I promised that old Emperor to handle some things, didn’t I?" Fan Wu said with a smile, "Besides, when I see you fellows, I just can’t resist taking action."
There was no helping it; a living Free Attribute Point was running right in front of him, how could Fan Wu not take action?
If he didn’t and the other got away, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
A flash of seriousness crossed the eyes of the Blood Gu Sect disciple.
He had been hidden in the Imperial Palace for many years, and although he had only heard about Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple in the past two or three days,
he knew that Fan Wu was not to be trifled with—a man given so much importance by the now dead Emperor couldn’t be simple, could he?
Not to mention, just how had Fan Wu appeared out of nowhere to save the Imperial Guard...?
To be honest.
Not only did the Imperial Guard not see it clearly, not only the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine did not witness it, but even he, a Sect Disciple who had consumed a Gu God, had missed it.
"You can stop me, but you can’t stop others. As soon as the Crown Prince dispatches some powerful cultivators from the palace, everything will be set in motion," said the Blood Gu Sect disciple as he dropped a sentence, and his other forelimb ferociously struck out at Fan Wu!
Fan Wu casually stepped to the side, dodging the attack, and the bulky forelimb smashed into the solid ground.
Such was the force of the blow that it actually smashed a hole into the floor of the Imperial Palace.
