Chapter 398: Chapter 373: So What if It’s in My Hands_1
"Yinuo, be careful."
Gu Feiyu gave a false reminder, maintaining his composed demeanor under scrutiny.
Yet when he made his move, he showed no mercy.
Light emitted from his abdomen, and a purple tower flew out. This was his Organ Miracle.
The power of heaven and earth surged, converging towards the purple tower. The tower quickly enlarged, becoming like a small mountain, suppressing towards Shen Yinuo.
"Miss Yinuo..."
Many hearts leapt in anticipation.
Gu Feiyu attacked, showing no mercy. With the strength of a Fourth-Tier Primordial Spirit, could Shen Yinuo withstand it?
"Great Sun God Fist!"
Both of Shen Yinuo’s fists shone with a dazzling glow, like two suns.
Boom, boom!
Two consecutive punches struck the purple tower, stirring up terrifying shockwaves that swept all around. At the edge of the battle platform, they were blocked by the formation.
Boom!
The purple tower trembled violently and flew backward, but Shen Yinuo’s figure remained steady.
"How is this possible?"
Many people couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Fourth-tier Primordial Spirit.
The cultivation of Shen Yinuo had actually reached the Fourth-tier Primordial Spirit. Many people found it hard to believe.
Including Gu Chongshan and Gu Feiyu.
"How could your cultivation have broken through to the Fourth-tier Primordial Spirit so quickly?"
Gu Feiyu roared in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief and jealousy.
He had only just broken through to the fourth tier not long ago. He knew well the difficulty of condensing the Primordial Spirit. He had accumulated resources for decades to achieve this. However, Shen Yinuo had only broken through to the Primordial Spirit just over a decade ago. In just a few short decades, she had achieved the Fourth-tier Primordial Spirit. This was something he found difficult to accept.
"Miss Yinuo’s unparalleled talents come once in a blue moon. Who would be more suitable to take over the Gu Family?"
Gu Liang said aloud.
Many people’s eyes flickered.
Among them, a few were previously supporting Gu Chongshan, but they had now started to have doubts.
"Being obsessed with making progress in your cultivation surely means your foundation isn’t solid. You’re just a flashy show-off. Today, I’ll expose you for what you really are."
Gu Feiyu furiously yelled. His third eye shone brightly as he stimulated his Soul Power crazily. Purple vapor shrouded the purple tower as it once again suppressed Shen Yinuo, this time with greater force.
In the meantime, a set of purple armor flew out from his third eye and covered Gu Feiyu’s body, causing his aura to soar.
"Purple Extreme Battle Armor. Gu Chongshan, this is your Spiritual Treasure, and you’ve given it to Gu Feiyu."
Gu Liang exclaimed in shock.
"I no longer need it since my cultivation is already deep, so I bestowed it to Feiyu."
Gu Chongshan replied nonchalantly.
Gu Liang’s face turned green.
The Purple Extreme Battle Armor could significantly increase one’s strength after being worn. Had Gu Chongshan really bestowed it to Gu Feiyu?
He didn’t believe it.
Most likely, it was a premeditated plan.
Today, Gu Feiyu was probably going to find various excuses to force Shen Yinuo into action and compromise her reputation.
"Supreme God Boxing."
Gu Feiyu sprang forward like a ferocious dragon charging at Shen Yinuo. He used a top-level Divine-level Martial Art of the Gu Family. His punches, which overlapped to form a terrifying fist imprint, were thrown out and crashed down.
Supreme God Boxing possessed the might of the Supreme. Under the reinforcement of the Purple Extreme Battle Armor, the punches were unstoppable.
But Shen Yinuo’s face remained calm.
With a yell, the Great Sun Melting Furnace flew out, quickly enlarging, and blocked the purple tower.
"Wan Yu Tianxia Yin!"
Shen Yinuo’s red lips lightly uttered. Her aura ascended to the peak as her jade hands quickly formed a seal, gathering the Heavenly Earth Power like robbery. A terrifying aura emanated from her hands.
A large seal that radiated formidable power clashed with Gu Feiyu’s fist imprint.
With a loud bang, Gu Feiyu’s powerful punch instantly collapsed. The large seal pierced through and hit Gu Feiyu.
Gu Feiyu looked shocked as he tried his best to resist.
However, in the next moment, he screamed in terror as his body flew backward, crashing into the formation at the edge of the battle platform. He coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, and both his arms were distorted and deformed. If it wasn’t for the protective Purple Extreme Battle Armor, they would probably have been shattered to pieces.
The scene was dead silent.
This scene was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Both of them were at the Fourth-tier Primordial Spirit, but it took only two moves, or accurately saying, one counterattack from Shen Yinuo to defeat Gu Feiyu.
The gap was just too wide.
It had always been rumored that Shen Yinuo was a Martial Arts prodigy that the Gu Family hadn’t seen in ages. Seeing it today proved that the rumors were true.
"Wan Yu Tianxia Yin, how...how do you know this martial art?"
Gu Feiyu yelled out in a deathly pale face.
"Everyone, leave now. Go back to your positions."
Gu Chongshan bellowed. His hair danced wildly as a terrifying aura enveloped the entire area.
Seeing Gu Chongshan’s rage, the bystanders who had come to watch didn’t dare to stay and left instantly, leaving only the high-ranking members of the Gu Family who were previously deliberating.
"Wan Yu Tianxia Yin, one of the Nine Extremes of the World, one of the most formidable talents of our family, but it had been lost for more than two thousand years. How did you come by it?"
Gu Chongshan looked at Shen Yinuo.
"Inside the Heavenly Continent Ruin, I received the legacy of our ancestor, Wan Zhonghui. I am the designated heir appointed by the ancestor."
Shen Yinuo’s words shocked everyone.
Wan Zhonghui was their family’s last glory, the last He Dao strongman whose fame resonated throughout the world.
"So it was you. The treasure of the Heavenly Continent Ruin was obtained by you?"
Gu Feiyu growled low, burning with jealousy.
"That’s right!"
Shen Yinuo nodded.
"Everyone, not only is Miss Yinuo the daughter of our family head, but she also received the legacy of our ancestor. Furthermore, she possesses exceptional talents and is currently extremely powerful. She is the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of the family head."
Gu Liang bellowed, sweeping his gaze across the room.
But many people avoided Gu Liang’s gaze.
Shen Yinuo’s strength was good, but she was still far from Gu Chongshan.
In this world, after all, strength is supreme.
Who among the Gu family can oppose Gu Chongshan now?
"You’re selfish and self-serving. You’re not worthy to inherit the position of family head."
Gu Feiyu roared.
"Spoken without evidence. Miss Yinuo, when have you been selfish and self-serving?"
Gu Liang said.
"No? Then let me ask you, you have obtained the treasures of the Heavenly Ruins, have you ever contributed a cent to the family? Have you ever offered resources to enhance the strength of our clan?"
"According to the records of our clan, among the treasures of the Heavenly Ruins, there is one of the Nine Extremes of the World, the ’Demon Hunting’ archery technique. Have you handed it over to the family?"
"And there is also a record that the Martial Ancestor’s precious treasure, the Exorcism Bow, Demon Destroying Arrow, is also among them. Where is it now?"
Gu Feiyu shouted loudly.
Gu Liang was abruptly silenced.
Shen Yinuo also remained silent.
"Not long ago, I received a secret message that the Exorcism Bow, the Demon Destroying Arrow is suspected of appearing in the East, in the hands of the Martial Alliance’s Lu Yan."
Gu Chongshan said coldly.
"Well done, giving away our clan’s treasured artifact to a stranger. Gu Yinuo, what qualifications do you have to inherit the position of head of the family?"
Gu Feiyu shouted loudly.
"If it’s in my hands, so what?"
Just then, a voice echoed in the overheard arena.
"Who?"
Gu Chongshan was shocked. How could someone have managed to get above him without him noticing?
Hearing this voice, Shen Yinuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face as she looked upwards.
A slender figure stood in mid-air, slowly descending.
"Lu Yan, it’s Martial Alliance Head Lu Yan."
Someone recognized him.
Gu Chongshan, Gu Feiyu, and the others all drew a sharp breath.
A man’s reputation follows him like a shadow.
Lu Yan’s rise these years had been too meteoric. He had killed the supremely powerful Zhuo Kunsheng; everyone knew about it.
Many believed that Lu Yan already had the strength of a world-class champion.
With a world-class champion present, who would dare to be careless?
"Lu Yan, how did you get in?"
Gu Feiyu demanded.
"I let him in."
Shen Yinuo spoke.
To silently invade the core of a Feudal Prince’s territory isn’t easy, but Shen Yinuo had made arrangements for someone to help Lu Yan. Once Lu Yan had arrived in the main mansion of the Gu family, his spiritual sense spread out, and he came to Yinuo’s aid without hesitation.
"Gu Yinuo, you have secretly let a stranger into our clan’s mansion. You are putting our Gu Clan in danger."
Gu Feiyu shouted loud.
"Precisely. Plus, you handed over our clan’s treasure to an outsider, Gu Yinuo. You have no qualifications to inherit the position of Family Head."
A Clan Elder under Gu Chongshan supported.
"Lu Yan, is the Exorcism Bow, the Demon Destroying Arrow in your hands?"
Gu Chongshan looked at Lu Yan and asked, while his soul power surged, locking onto Lu Yan.
"Indeed, it’s in my hands."
Lu Yan nodded.
"Does this mean you already know about our clan’s secret?"
Gu Chongshan asked.
"Indeed!"
Lu Yan nodded again.
"In that case, return the Exorcism Bow, the Demon Destroying Arrow to our clan? And do you also have the Divine Intent Diagram of the ’Demon Hunting’ technique? Hand them over."
Gu Chongshan said coldly.
"I will only hand over the Divine Intent Diagram of the ’Demon Hunting’ technique to Yinuo once she inherits the Gu family’s position. As for the Exorcism Bow, the Demon Destroying Arrow, I find them handy and will keep them for now."
Lu Yan stated.
Boom, boom, boom...
A series of powerful auras surged and targeted Lu Yan.
"Our clan treasures should never fall into the hands of an outsider."
"Precisely, Lu Yan, today, you must hand over the Exorcism Bow, the Demon Destroying Arrow."
"Gu Yinuo, acting in such a way, you disgrace the descendants of the Gu Clan."
Many yelled angrily.
"Who said I’m an outsider?"
Lu Yan smiled lightly and said, "Yinuo and I have already made a pact to marry. I am Yinuo’s fiancé. What’s mine will be the Gu clan’s in the future, and what’s the Gu clan’s will be mine. What’s the distinction?"
After saying that, he winked at Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo’s face turned red.
"What?"
Many were stunned.
"As long as Yinuo takes over the Gu family, my Martial Alliance will fully support the Gu family. I, Lu Yan, will be the Gu family’s backing. The affairs of the Gu family will also be my affairs. With such a strong backing, is Yinuo’s strength sufficient?"
Lu Yan said, emanating an invincible confidence.
Only then did everyone understand that the potential strength Shen Yinuo referred to was Lu Yan.
With a world-class champion-level powerhouse standing behind her — who was also her fiancé — indeed, Yinuo was qualified to take charge of the Gu family and challenge the world’s nobles.
Gu Chongshan and people like Gu Feiyu were as dark as stagnant water.
"Lu Yan, you’re rather audacious. Don’t think you’re so powerful just because people call you a world-class champion. Many rumors exaggerate the truth. You were probably able to kill Zhuo Kunsheng because you took advantage of the situation. My grandfather has been famous for hundreds of years. You’re just an immature boy in comparison."
Gu Feiyu roared.
He did not intend to yield so easily.
In his view, once Gu Chongshan took over the Gu family, then later, the Gu Family would be his.
He would never allow anyone else to lay a hand on it.
