CHAPTER 269: CHAPTER 265: BLACK ROUND STONE

"Immortal Grade, this is Immortal Grade!"

The young man standing next to Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

He clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely excited.

"Mighty Ancestor of the Gu Family! The Gu Family will surely win!"

Suddenly, he shouted loudly towards the sky.

For a moment, everyone’s attention that was in mid-air turned to him.

Even Gu Tong in the distance did the same.

"Indeed, what he said was effective!"

Feeling everyone’s gaze, the man’s excitement was beyond words.

He then gratefully glanced at Chen Xuan.

Uh—

"This..."

Chen Xuan was speechless too. He was just joking, he didn’t expect the man to take it seriously.

Is he really a martial arts fanatic?

He then turned his gaze back to the battle in mid-air.

Indeed, Gu Tongtian, who had attained Immortal Grade, was now overwhelmingly suppressing Qin Ke.

If it weren’t for the Nine Elements Dao Skill giving him this formidable physique, he would have been beaten to death by now.

At this moment, Qin Ke’s condition was not good.

His aura was starting to become chaotic, after all, he had forcefully advanced to the Nine Layers of Purity by burning his vital essence.

"What should we do? In this situation, Qin Ke won’t last long!"

Ning Xin asked anxiously.

Chen Xuan didn’t answer him, his gaze fixed on the battle in the sky, his brows furrowed.

If he didn’t intervene, Qin Ke’s vital essence would last at most half the time of burning an incense stick.

And as time went on, his strength would be pushed back to the Eight Layers of Purity... or even lower.

But what surprised him the most was Gu Tongtian.

How on earth did he do it?

A moment ago, he clearly sensed a familiar aura, but after fighting for so long, that aura seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"He can use it!"

So he immediately transmitted a message.

"Use it! Remember to focus on defense and stall him!"

"Master!"

Qin Ke was overjoyed.

Every attack from Gu Tongtian worsened his injuries.

But without his master’s permission, he dared not use it rashly, as it was meant for preserving his life.

Moreover, he was warned that unauthorized use would result in his cultivation technique being revoked.

This is why even though he was gravely injured, he dared not use it.

But now...

"Get lost!"

Qin Ke roared angrily, and the next moment a book appeared in his hands, erupting with a green light that enveloped him.

It was precisely "Luo He"!

Below, Ning Xin glared fiercely at Chen Xuan. So he had been prepared all along, yet didn’t tell her, making her worry for nothing all this time.

"Just in case!"

Chen Xuan chuckled.

Sure enough, with "Luo He" in hand, Qin Ke swiftly stabilized the situation.

Even though Gu Tongtian’s spiritual power rained down on him like a storm.

Under the protection of "Luo He", not a single bit of damage was inflicted.

Gu Tongtian ceased his attack, looking at Qin Ke, who was like a turtle, with a sinister expression.

"Damn it, what on earth is that spiritual treasure?"

He cursed inwardly, his attacks having no effect whatsoever.

Given a moment more, he could have slain this boy.

Who would have thought...

But this kid really was patient enough to bide his time until now?

Was it to deplete him?

Humph!

"What’s the matter? Trying to tickle me? Why the long face?"

Qin Ke held "Luo He" and sneered.

Of course, what surprised him the most at this moment was the power of this book his master had given him.

Not only that, but it also required very little spiritual power consumption.

He had already stopped burning his vital essence and was slowly recovering.

"How long can you last? Such a formidable spiritual treasure must consume quite a bit, no? How long can you hold on?"

Gu Tongtian looked on with disdain.

"Much longer than you think, and I am prepared!"

As he spoke, a red bottle appeared in his hand, and he swallowed all the pills inside in one gulp.

"I reckon I can last quite a while now!"

Indeed, after swallowing the entire bottle of pills, Qin Ke’s aura began to gradually recover.

"But you? Can you break my defense?"

His expression was highly provocative.

"An upstart! Just relying on external power!"

Gu Tong said coldly.

"Indeed, the Qin Family is truly despicable!"

"Such a vile act..."

"Pah! Disgusting!"

....

At this moment, those who had good relations with the Gu Family stood up to curse.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Xuan wanted to laugh as he watched this scene.

Glancing at Gu Tong out of the corner of his eye, he couldn’t believe that such an illustrious Patriarch of the Gu Family could be so mindless.

Are spiritual treasures not considered part of one’s own strength?

To say such childish things.

"Oh, Gu Tong is getting anxious now!"

The Pu Dao Association laughed.

"Of course, with so many people watching, if Old Gu can’t handle him, the Gu Family will lose face, of course they’re anxious!"

The man in white sneered disdainfully.

"Humph!"

In mid-air, Gu Tongtian let out a cold snort.

The sound made everyone’s heart tremble down below.

They immediately shut their mouths.

Gu Tongtian looked at Qin Ke again and laughed, "So confident, are you? Then let me show you how I will personally shatter your turtle shell!"

"Open your eyes wide and watch closely!"

The next moment, a black round stone appeared in his hand.

His eyes showed great reluctance.

He was able to leap directly to Immortal Grade regardless of boundaries because of this black round stone.

If there were any other way, he truly wouldn’t want to use it.

Because the energy contained in this black round stone diminishes with each use.

After so many years, only a small portion was left.

Below!

"What is that...?"

Chen Xuan’s gaze was fixed on the stone in his hand.

"World Spirit Stone? No... that’s not right!"

The aura was very similar to the World Spirit Stone, yet there was a difference.

However, Chen Xuan was certain this stone was related to the World Spirit!

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s heart was suddenly filled with excitement.

He didn’t expect that after such a long time, he would finally see something related to the World Spirit. He just wondered if the Gu Family’s ancestor knew about the World Spirit or had obtained this stone by accident.

"You can make a move now, but be sure to keep him alive! Your master has use for him!"

Chen Xuan immediately transmitted the message to Qin Ke.

At the same time, he removed the restrictions on "Luo He".

In an instant, the book "Luo He" in Qin Ke’s hand shone with a brilliant azure light.

"Victory or defeat, then take a good look, open your eyes wide and see!"

Qin Ke shouted loudly.

The "Luo He" emitted an azure flash like lightning, striking towards Gu Tongtian.

"What?"

Gu Tongtian exclaimed in shock!

This book wasn’t just for defense? It could attack too!

Damn it!

In the blink of an eye, the azure flash was upon him.

Danger!

Gu Tongtian’s face changed dramatically.

The next moment, the energy from the black stone surged out, instantly blossoming into an extreme black glow, forming a black barrier in front of him.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion.

Even space trembled.

The black barrier was pierced directly by the azure flash, striking Gu Tongtian’s chest instantly.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out!

His face turned pale instantly; the azure flash from "Luo He" not only severely injured Gu Tongtian, but the azure light also wreaked havoc inside his body.

At this moment, of course, Qin Ke wouldn’t let this chance go.

His figure flickered, appearing above Gu Tongtian in an instant, and punched down!

Gu Tongtian, like a meteor, was slammed to the ground again.

The powerful impact made the earth tremble.

"Boom!"

A bottomless pit appeared before everyone’s eyes.

"Ancestor!"

Gu Tong cried out in anguish, rushing towards the pit.

But Qin Ke was faster!

"Get lost!"

He punched out!

Gu Tong, a mere second-tier martial artist, didn’t react at all and was directly blown up by Qin Ke’s punch, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Gu Tong... dead!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

At that moment, it was like having their throat tightly choked, not daring to make a sound.

Qin Ke stood there, his gaze sweeping around.

Everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

Even Chen Xuan and Ning Xin cooperated with him.

But there was one person who met Qin Ke’s gaze directly!

It was the man beside Chen Xuan.

"Young master Qin Ke’s dominance is unparalleled!"

Motionless!

Everyone was stunned.

Even Chen Xuan was dumbfounded; this man wasn’t a martial arts fanatic!

He was shameless!

Truly... never had he seen someone so brazenly shameless.

It completely refreshed his understanding.

Qin Ke glanced at the man indifferently, then looked at the pit.

At this moment, Gu Tongtian resembled a dead man, completely motionless.

Thankfully, he was still breathing!

Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief, fearing he had killed him with his full force punch, which would leave him no way to explain to his master.

He then jumped into the pit.

Moments later, he held Gu Tongtian’s arm and appeared in mid-air.

Turning to the remaining members of the Gu family, he said coldly, "From today on, there’s no Gu family in Daning County. All people with the surname Gu must disappear from Daning County before nightfall!"

"Otherwise...."

"Kill!"

As the word "kill" was uttered, a chilling murderous aura filled the sky above the Gu family.

...

Qin Ke left.

Only then did everyone inside the Gu family dare to speak.

"The Gu family is finished!"

"Didn’t expect this, didn’t expect...."

"Gu Tongtian, a generation of a hero, didn’t expect... alas, to end up like this!"

...

Those daring to speak were unrelated to the Gu family.

That’s why they dared.

And those who depended on the Gu family had faces filled with despair.

They never thought Gu Tongtian would lose, that the Gu family, the overlord of Daning County, was no more!

What would they do now?

How would the Qin family deal with them?

Especially those closest to the Gu family had pale faces, trembling uncontrollably.

However, the few small families that bet on the Qin family’s victory were ecstatic.

"Hahaha...."

"The Qin family... won!"

"Let’s go to the Qin Mansion and congratulate them on becoming the number one family in Daning County!"

...

"Didn’t expect this to be the outcome!"

The Pu Dao Association murmured, feeling quite emotional.

Of course, he was just somewhat sighing, whether it was the Gu family or the Qin family, it didn’t matter to him.

He was still the county magistrate of Daning County.

Even though his power was far inferior to theirs, no one dared to do anything to him.

Unless someone was tired of living and wanted to rebel!

"I’m leaving, check it thoroughly, this matter feels fishy, and that book, what exactly is that spiritual treasure, looks unfamiliar!"

"Yes, sir!"

The white man stood up promptly.

The two left the Gu family one after the other.

"Xin’Er, let’s go home and ask thoroughly later."
