Chapter 414: Chapter 293: The Truth Is in My Hands_2

Did I try to stop my junior sister from escaping?

Wasn’t it you who chose to stay and actively spoke with me?

I’m honoring you by spending time talking to you, junior sister.

You should be grateful that I spent so much time talking before taking action.

I didn’t force you to stay; since you stayed willingly, you should take responsibility for your actions.

Now you resent and blame me, don’t you think that’s hypocritical?

If you hadn’t stayed, how could I have had the chance to act?

As for the pain and discomfort, what do they have to do with me?

The one suffering isn’t me.”

Gu An looked at Zhang Qing, who he was stepping on, and asked: “Do you think my words make sense, junior sister?”

Zhang Qing wanted to resist, but she found herself pinned down, unable to mobilize any power.

His power genuinely suppressed her.

It made her anxious.

But this is within the Sect, he surely wouldn’t dare to kill someone recklessly.

And my senior sister will be here soon.

What he said, where was the logic in it?

Just because I willingly stood here means I should be beaten?

Where’s the sense in that?

Did I ask you to hit me?

But she couldn’t speak out; he didn’t give her a chance to.

“Stop!” From outside came a roar of anger.

Gu An slightly raised his eyebrows, noticing that the person who came was long-haired senior sister.

So, it appears to be Zhuo Yitong.

Gu An looked at her and said: “Is senior sister talking to me?”

“Who else?” She glared angrily, ready to act at any moment.

Gu An raised his hands and said: “But I didn’t make a move.”

Saying so, he stomped down hard.

With a ‘bang’,

Zhang Qing’s head was instantly pressed into the ground.

“You dare…” Zhuo Yitong roared, but she didn’t rashly take action but observed instead.

Because the Magic Treasure was on the ground, indicating the plan had failed.

She needed to confirm if the Magic Treasure in the room was still there.

And his arrival would make it easier to frame him.

But the person who was supposed to poison hadn’t arrived yet; if she directly suppressed him, it would summon the Law Enforcement Hall.

Then she couldn’t apply the poison, effectively ruining the plan.

“What are you doing, junior brother? Attacking a fellow sect member so harshly, don’t you think it’s excessively bullying?” Zhuo Yitong asked.

Gu An looked at the person before him and said: “Does senior sister know why I would take action?”

“I only believe what I see.” Zhuo Yitong stared at Gu An: “Currently, it’s junior brother using his power on a fellow sect member, causing serious injury. Even if the Law Enforcement Hall comes, it’s junior brother’s fault.”

Gu An lowered his gaze to the person under his feet and said: “Isn’t it possible that she struck a fellow sect member first?”

Saying this, Gu An raised his eyebrows looking towards Zhuo Yitong.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yitong chuckled and said: “She, a weak woman, how could she strike at a fellow sect member? If even she took action, did junior brother not consider, whose problem it is?

Why would she be amicable towards everyone else, yet choose to strike at that particular sect member you mentioned?

Isn’t it obvious whose fault it is?”

“Yes, why didn’t I strike others, only targeting him? It naturally is his problem.” At this moment, Zhang Qing also spoke from the ground.

Gu An was silent for a moment, then said: “Is this what you both think?”

The two looked at Gu An, saying nothing further.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Pausing, Zhuo Yitong said: “No one supports junior brother’s argument. It seems junior brother is in the wrong.”

Hearing this, Gu An sighed and said: “It seems that truth really lies in the hands of a few.”

“No, the truth lies in the hands of those at the Golden Core Late Stage, and I am at the Golden Core Late Stage, while you are just at the Golden Core Middle Stage.” As her words fell, Zhuo Yitong stepped forward, hoping to catch Gu An off-guard and suppress him; she had already received news that the collaborator had arrived.

As long as she suppressed him, the others would begin acting.

Even if the Law Enforcement Hall arrived, it wouldn’t matter.

At this moment, she reached Gu An, aiming to catch him off-guard and with her divine technique, imprison him and exert all her power.

To completely strip him of any ability to resist.

But in that instant as she approached, she saw him raise his eyebrows looking at her.

That shouldn’t be possible; with her Golden Core Late Stage cultivation and her mastery in movement techniques,

He couldn’t have possibly caught her movement in such a short time.

Could he be hiding something?

But an arrow once shot does not turn back; she had to make her move.

Her hand had reached right in front of Gu An, about to grab him.

However…

Clang!

A long sword drawn.

Directly blocking in front of her palm.

Clang!

Power clashed, and forces at the Golden Core Late Stage erupted from both.

They both took a step back.

“Golden Core Late Stage?” Zhuo Yitong exclaimed: “You hid your cultivation?”

“No.” Gu An shook his head: “I hid the truth, the Golden Core Late Stage is the truth against senior sister, now I hold the truth in my hand.”

Quickly, Zhuo Yitong adjusted her demeanor then attacked again.

Though both were at Golden Core Late Stage, there was a difference.

This time she quickly retreated, her hands forming incantations, and the winds and showers surged around.

Gu An vanished like a flash of golden light from the spot, appearing in front of her in an instant, and then swung his long sword.

Pingqiu First Style, Wind Rises.

A fierce gale rose from the ground, cutting through the air like a blade.

Then the sword chopped down.

Boom!

The hurricane didn’t disperse but increased, forming a giant hand reaching for Gu An.

“Naïve.”

The giant hand pressed down, directly crashing into the building.

Gu An adjusted his sword, better controlling his power, then the sword rose.

Drunk Life.

Spiritual power coupled with Spiritual Energy began to condense into a sword form, then the sword fell.

Dream Death.

The sharp sword trapped the person within the sword energy.

To execute a fatal blow.

Boom!

The sword fell on the giant hand.

No rumbling sound occurred; instead, the sword directly went down, shattering the hand.
