CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 264: GU FAMILY ANCESTOR

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Family!

"Are you ready?"

Qin Gu looked solemnly at his only son. Today’s battle will decide whether the Qin Family disappears from Daning County or rises to the top, and it all depends on him.

"Don’t worry, Father! I will make the Qin Family the ruler of Daning County!"

Qin Ke’s voice was not loud, but it was laced with absolute confidence.

In this battle, he can only win, not lose!

"Good!"

Qin Gu’s strong hand came down heavily on his shoulder.

"No matter what, Father will stand with you! Even if it’s..."

"We will not lose!"

Qin Ke interrupted his father’s words.

Ever since the challenge against the Gu Family began, the word ’lose’ was no longer in his vocabulary!

"Let’s go!"

...

Today, nearly all the well-known figures of Daning County have gathered at the Gu Family estate.

The Gu Family has opened its doors wide today, allowing anyone to enter freely.

The reason for this is to establish their dominance.

To show the people of Daning County who truly is the master here.

To dare challenge the Gu Family means only one outcome... death!

At this moment, a transformed Chen Xuan and Ning Xin also arrived at the Gu Family, blending into the crowd.

"Interesting, huh?"

Chen Xuan muttered softly.

"Hmm!"

Ning Xin nodded slightly beside him, noting that the Gu Family was ready to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys this time.

Especially as Qin Ke is just a first-tier Martial Artist!

If successful, it would be enough to intimidate the entire Daning County.

Failure... well, the Gu Family probably never considered the possibility of failure.

"Absolute confidence, huh!"

Ning Xin said faintly, yet her words carried a hint of disdain.

"That’s right, miss, you don’t know how strong that ancestor of the Gu Family is. He was already first-tier hundreds of years ago, how could Qin Ke, this young brat who just entered first-tier, compare?"

A young man standing in front of Ning Xin turned his head, his eyes showing absolute confidence and admiration.

Especially when mentioning the Gu Family ancestor, his eyes lit up.

"Oh...?"

Chen Xuan deliberately spoke with a doubtful tone, "So powerful? Is the Qin Family done for then?"

"Certainly!"

The man spoke as if it was destined, then continued, "But of course, it’s not related to you ordinary people. Witnessing such a first-tier battle is a once-in-a-lifetime fortune."

"Take a good look, don’t blink, I guess it’s a matter of seconds, miss it, and you’ll regret it for life."

"Alright, alright, then my wife and I must keep our eyes open!"

"Thank you, young brother, for the reminder!"

Chen Xuan thanked with a smile.

"No problem, no problem!"

The man waved his hand, "If only my surname were Gu! With my talent in Martial Dao, I’d definitely be able to apprentice under the Gu Family ancestor! Alas!"

He sighed very wistfully.

"I see young brother is quite extraordinary as well. During the battle later, you could cheer loudly below, perhaps he might notice you!"

Chen Xuan said deliberately.

"Really?"

"Yes, I think it’s possible!"

Chen Xuan nodded seriously.

Meanwhile, Ning Xin was almost twitching at the corners of her eyes, rolling her eyes at Chen Xuan.

What a mean guy, suggesting such a bad idea.

But the man was now seriously contemplating.

After a moment, he actually nodded, "I think it’s a good idea! Thanks!"

The man clasped his fists in gratitude.

"You’re welcome, you’re welcome!"

Chen Xuan mimicked his gesture, waving his hand.

"You really are bad, this guy is evidently a martial arts fanatic, when the Gu Family ancestor loses later, I guess he’ll be dumbfounded!"

Ning Xin transmitted.

"It’s just a bit of fun, this man obviously idolizes the ancestor of the Gu Family intensely, but is blocked from apprenticeship, clothed so plainly, normally he wouldn’t be able to enter the gates of the Gu Family."

"This might be letting him fulfill a dream!"

One must say, Chen Xuan is sneakily mischievous.

"Humph, you just want to see the joke, I know you!"

Ning Xin didn’t believe his nonsense now.

"Gu Family, I’m here!"

At that moment, Qin Ke’s voice came from the sky.

In breaths, he was seen stepping into the air step by step, appearing above the Gu Family in moments.

Hands behind his back!

His gaze aimed at the deepest part of the Gu Family.

"This kid is excited!"

Chen Xuan could feel his fighting spirit.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the depths of the Gu Family, shooting towards the sky, shattering the floating clouds.

The next moment, an elder with white hair, emitting blue light all over, slowly ascended into midair.

"Not bad, Eight Layers of Purity strength! Rare indeed."

The elder nodded, acknowledging Qin Ke’s prowess.

But then he sighed, "Unfortunately, too young, thinking having some strength makes one conceited!"

"I am one who cherishes talents!"

"I’ll give you a chance, submit to the Gu Family, and I can accept you as my closed-door disciple, and from now on, your Qin Family will only be beneath my Gu Family!"

"How about it?"

Gu Tongtian disregarded past grievances and showed extraordinary magnanimity.

"Today either you die, Gu Family disappears! Or I die, Qin Family disappears!"

"Only these two paths!"

Qin Ke shouted sternly, the aura of Eight Layers of Purity bursting.

Instantly he charged towards Gu Tongtian! Decisive to the extreme.

"Seeking death!"

Gu Tongtian instantly enraged! The figure instantly vanished!

His speed so fast, except for a few present, none could see either figure.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The space trembled, and deafening booms echoed for miles around.

Two top-tier warriors were battling, and though it was in mid-air, the mere shockwaves of their fight had already destroyed much of the Gu Family’s property.

"Activate the formation!"

Gu Tong roared in anger.

The top-tier experts were too powerful, and if this continued, the Gu Family would be destroyed.

Gu Tongtian still showed some restraint, but Qin Ke was completely unchecked.

Eighty percent of the Gu Family’s destruction could be attributed to him.

Following Gu Tong’s command, a dazzling white barrier rose above the Gu Family, shielding the ground below.

"So powerful!"

"Indeed, we can’t even see the two of them. What’s happening up there?"

"But we must admit, Qin Ke is not weak either, holding out for this long!"

...

People below craned their necks, discussing amongst themselves.

Gu Tong squinted, looking up at the sky, his expression a bit grim. Others might not see it, but he was at the peak of the second tier.

At that moment, the patriarch and Qin Ke were evenly matched.

In fact, the patriarch was faintly being suppressed.

"Didn’t he just become a top-tier recently? How could he be so strong?"

Not only him, but several other high-tier Martial Artists present also looked at the sky in disbelief.

How could... the kid from the Qin Family be this strong!

This was the biggest doubt in their hearts at the moment.

They knew best how difficult cultivation was after reaching high tiers.

"We might just lose the Gu Family this time!"

At this moment, in a pavilion of the Gu Family, a middle-aged man in official robes spoke slowly.

It was the County Magistrate of Daning County, Pu Dao Association.

"Yes, Gu Tongtian’s cultivation technique is not that good, although he had the strength of the Nine Layers of Purity, he was being tightly suppressed by Qin Ke, who was only at the Eight Layers of Purity. Not only that, did you notice? This kid’s physical body is very strong!"

"He just took a direct punch from Gu Tongtian, but acted like nothing happened!"

"What kind of cultivation technique is this kid practicing?"

The middle-aged man in white sitting opposite him was very curious.

After all, even he did not have such a cultivation technique, let alone the small Qin Family.

"Hmm, it’s strange. Where exactly did he get this cultivation technique? From the Dark Moon Trading Company?"

Pu Dao Association voiced the only possibility he could think of.

"Impossible!"

The middle-aged man in white shook his head. The nature of the Dark Moon Trading Company was known, such a top-grade technique couldn’t be afforded even if they sold the entire Daning County.

Let alone the small Qin Family!

"After this battle, investigate it!"

Pu Dao Association squinted, his instincts telling him there was definitely something fishy here.

"Yes, sir!"

The man in white nodded.

Then the two locked their gaze back onto the two in the sky.

"Bang!"

A figure was knocked straight down from the sky, crashing to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The entire Gu Family trembled immediately.

"Who is it?"

This was the thought in the minds of the ordinary people below, each one stretching their necks, eyes locked.

The dust settled.

The figure finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"The Gu Family Patriarch!"

The young man who had spoken with Chen Xuan earlier exclaimed, unable to believe it.

His eyes bulged!

He looked at the scene incredulously.

The Gu Family Patriarch was someone he looked up to, how could he be beaten like this by Qin Ke?

At this moment, Gu Tongtian was no longer as composed as before.

There were two fist-sized wounds on his chest, with even the white bones clearly visible.

By now, Gu Tongtian’s clothes had completely turned blood-red.

"Good, very good! The younger generation is truly terrifying!"

Gu Tongtian looked toward Qin Ke in mid-air, his tone sinister, eyes extremely cold.

Unexpectedly, he had been beaten like this by a junior from the Eight Layers of Purity.

"Victory belongs to the king, defeat to the bandit. It’s that simple!"

In mid-air, Qin Ke was expressionless, at this moment, he was terrifyingly calm.

"Well said, victory to the king, defeat to the bandit! Hahaha..."

Suddenly Gu Tongtian laughed maniacally, almost insane.

But in an instant, the laughter stopped abruptly.

He gazed fiercely at him, "I have never lost in my life, neither past nor present!"

The next moment,

his aura erupted suddenly, Nine Layers of Purity!

But it didn’t stop there!

It continued to surge!

Until... Immortal Grade!

"How is this possible!"

Pu Dao Association was shocked, immediately standing up.

Not only him, but everyone present was stunned, looking at Gu Tongtian, who was now emitting a dazzling brilliance.

"Immortal Grade, is this what Immortal Grade is!"

Gu Tong murmured to himself, the worry in his eyes vanished at this moment.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch had hidden this trump card.

"Hmm?"

Below, Chen Xuan frowned.

To unexpectedly ascend to the Immortal Grade, though not stable, it’s still Immortal Grade.

"What to do? Qin Ke is in danger!"

Ning Xin’s voice echoed in his ear.

"Let’s wait and see!"

Chen Xuan transmitted his thoughts, sensing a familiar aura from Gu Tongtian just moments ago.

Meanwhile, Qin Ke in mid-air couldn’t maintain his composure, his face turned grim.

But—

"Boom!"

At this moment, he burned his vital essence, forcibly elevating his strength to the Nine Layers of Purity.

He couldn’t afford to lose!

He must not lose!

"Kill!"
