We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

“Su Chen, we haven’t returned to the Ten Directions World, but have arrived in another world. I’ve never seen the methods used by these two groups before!”

The weak voice of Duan Tian Dao rang out. At first, he thought he had returned to the Ten Directions World, but when he saw Gu Yan summon a strange Gu worm with strength comparable to a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist, he realized that something was wrong.

However, he was not as knowledgeable as Su Chen, and could only guess in his mind, so he asked Su Chen, hoping to get the answer from him.

Su Chen did not reply immediately upon hearing this, but instead frowned and looked over, observing the situation while healing his injuries.

His injuries were too severe, especially after being exposed to spatial turbulence, which made his already seriously injured body even worse.

His internal energy was almost completely depleted, and now his entire body was empty.

His vital energy and blood have also become depleted. Judging from his aura alone, he doesn't seem like a young man, but rather like an old man in his twilight years.

The primordial spirit became even more listless and weak, and the originally pure and flawless primordial spirit became riddled with holes.

He was no longer the man he once was.

Fortunately, his strong physique helped him withstand a lot of pressure.

This prevented him from being further injured even in the spatial turbulence. Otherwise, with such injuries, anyone else would likely have either died or fallen into a coma and not wake up for who knows how long.

Not long after arriving in this world, Su Chen woke up and found that Gu Yan and Wen Qingya's forces were facing off.

Naturally, he also saw the Gu worm in Gu Yan's hand.

With his sharp eyes, he observed for a while and realized that the other party's cultivation method was very different from that of the martial artists in the Ten Directions World.

This confirmed to him that he and the Broken Sky Blade had been transported to another world by the formation.

“You’re right, this is indeed not the Ten Directions World,” Su Chen replied.

Duan Tiandao's injuries weren't particularly serious. After receiving Su Chen's confirmation, he quickly said, "These two groups don't seem to be particularly strong. Should we take action and capture them? That way, we can also ask them for some information. Besides, I just heard them talking about the inheritance of some Black Rock True Man."

"No rush!" Su Chen shook his head.

He needs to take another look.

At this moment, the two sides have already begun to clash.

As soon as the man named Gu Yan released the Gu worm, a blood-red full moon appeared in the sky.

The full moon rose and hung above the trees, blocking the already weak sunlight and emitting its own light.

The world turned pale red the instant the blood moon rose.

Within this pale red glow, a giant, jet-black wolf gradually emerged. The wolf was as large as a mountain, hundreds of feet tall, with fur as hard as iron. Its fierce eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glint. It opened its mouth and let out a series of roars. Then, with a sudden inhale, it swallowed the blood moon directly into its belly.

"Wen Qingya, this is my seventh-rank Gu worm, the Greedy Wolf Devouring Moon Gu. You can still regret it now, but this time, what I want is not ten thousand or a thousand Yuan Stones, but all of your Yuan Stones. As long as you hand over all your possessions, I can let everyone else leave except you. Think about it, will you make a futile struggle or compromise!"

Gu Yan's confident voice rang out.

He couldn't help but feel insecure.

Although he is a sixth-level Gu Master, he has already reached the point where he can control seventh-level Gu worms.

It even possesses a seventh-level Gu worm.

Compared to Wen Qingya, he is far ahead.

The opponent is a sixth-level Gu Master, and only has sixth-level Gu worms. If you want to make a move, you have to consider your own strength.

Although the level of a Gu Master doesn't necessarily mean anything, the greater the number of Gu worms that have evolved, the stronger they become.

With his seventh-rank Gu worm in hand, dealing with Wen Qingya's sixth-rank Gu worm would be a piece of cake.

Wen Qingya was aware of this problem, but she did not compromise. Instead, she directly chose to unleash her sixth-level Gu worm.

Heavenly Crocodile Ancient Halberd!

Unlike Gu Yan's Greedy Wolf Devouring Moon Gu, Wen Qingya's Gu worm is a blade of grass, which manifests as a long halberd. On the halberd is carved a celestial crocodile exuding a primordial aura. The crocodile is lifelike, with its scales flowing with savage power and its vertical pupils filled with indifference.

Facing the Greedy Wolf, whose realm was higher than his own, the Heavenly Crocodile did not back down. Instead, he faced the challenge head-on, roared, and suddenly lashed out with his tail, sending out streaks of sparks that engulfed the surrounding trees.

In an instant, the entire forest burst into flames, engulfing everyone. Yet, they remained unmoved, their brows furrowed as they watched the battle between the Greedy Wolf and the Heavenly Crocodile above.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Greedy Wolf suddenly transformed into a cloud of bloody smoke, allowing the Heavenly Crocodile's tail to swing horizontally. However, the bloody smoke did not dissipate but quickly reformed, returning to Greedy Wolf's original form.

Enraged by the crocodile, the greedy wolf roared repeatedly, its sharp claws flashing like blades as it viciously clawed at the crocodile's scales.

Roar!
The crocodile cried out in pain as its sturdy scales were torn open, and blood slowly flowed from the wound.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the Wen family gasped, their expressions revealing tension.

In the distance, Duan Tiandao commented as if observing from the sidelines: "This woman named Wen Qingya is likely to lose. Her sixth-rank Gu worm is obviously not as powerful as Gu Yan's seventh-rank Gu worm, but that's normal. It's like a battle between a Nascent Soul Realm martial artist and a Dharma Aspect Realm martial artist. The latter can win almost effortlessly."

“Not necessarily!” Su Chen interrupted. He noticed that even after witnessing Tian'e's injury, Wen Qingya's expression did not change. Only a hint of hesitation occasionally flashed between her brows, as if she was struggling with something.

Such an expression didn't seem like someone who was about to lose; Su Chen guessed that the other party must have some kind of reliance on them.

As expected, during their conversation, Tian'e's injuries worsened and he was on the verge of disappearing. Wen Qingya finally made up her mind to use her backup plan.

"Hey, what is this?"

Su Chen was puzzled when Wen Qingya revealed a gray Gu worm shaped like an earthworm.

"The aura of this Gu worm is not even as strong as that of the Heavenly Crocodile in her hand. Even if she takes it out, it may not be able to turn the tide of the battle, right?" Duan Tian Dao also discovered the Gu worm and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But what happened next left him speechless.

After Wen Qingya took out the Gu worm, Gu Yan opposite her seemed to realize something, and his expression immediately turned serious.

Then Duan Tian Dao saw that the originally arrogant Tan Lang became obsessed with the Gu worm.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Qingya threw the Gu worm out with a look of heartache. The moment the Gu worm left her hand, it quickly transformed into a female wolf. The female wolf looked similar to Tanlang. Duan Tian Dao could not tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, but he could see the look of infatuation in Tanlang's eyes.

"Oh no! This is a Water-Milk Fusion Gu, a Water-Milk Fusion Gu that can cause a Gu worm to lose half of its strength! Wen Qingya, how did you get such a Gu worm!"

Gu Yan could not hide his horror. Although the Water-Milk Fusion Gu was only a fifth-level Gu worm, its power was quite remarkable. Even a seventh-level Gu worm could be affected by it and become a love-obsessed creature.

To be precise, any living Gu worm will be affected by it. When it is obsessed, it will actively mate with it. During this mating, its own strength will be greatly reduced, and it will willingly give itself to the other.

The Water-Milk Fusion Gu is extremely rare, and he never expected that Wen Qingya would have such a Gu worm on her body.

Wen Qingya did not reply, but quietly watched as Tanlang's strength weakened.

"What...what kind of method is this?!"

The person with the Broken Sky Blade standing not far away was dumbfounded. How could such a huge gap have been reversed in the blink of an eye?

Wen Qingya merely summoned a new Gu worm, and the strength of that Greedy Wolf was immediately reduced by half.
Isn’t it so outrageous?

He felt his understanding had been challenged and refreshed. Of course, that's not the main point.

Instead, the moment he saw the Gu worm, what appeared before him was a very ornate weapon.

The magnificence of this weapon is beyond description; at least, he had never seen a divine weapon that could stir his heart so deeply.

It was as if a beautiful woman had dressed up especially for you, revealing all her beauty to you. The moment he saw her, Duan Tiandao felt as if he was about to fall for her.

Fortunately, he eventually came to his senses and realized that the other party was not targeting him, but the greedy wolf.

Otherwise, he might have been unable to resist the urge in his heart and rushed out to have sex with her.

"Is this how Gu worms fight?"

Su Chen also noticed the change in himself, but it wasn't as intense as with the Heaven-Slaying Blade. He had seen all kinds of storms, and he quickly suppressed the trembling in his heart and became calm.

However, the recent exchange also showed him the power of the Gu worms.

Unlike martial artists, realm does not seem to be the only determining factor; battles between Gu masters place more emphasis on the Gu worms.

In other words, the Gu worm is the key factor in determining victory.

"who?!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out, and the speaker was none other than Gu Yan.

Seeing that Tanlang's strength had been damaged, Gu Yan planned to summon a second Gu worm to fight. However, before he could summon it, he received a message from the reconnaissance Gu worm in his body, saying that someone was in the distance. So he immediately shouted and tried to find the other party.

After all, if they and the Wen family were to suffer heavy losses, wouldn't that allow the mastermind to reap the benefits?

As Gu Yan's voice rang out, everyone's gaze fell on Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao, who were not far away.

Although Su Chen tried his best to hide, Gu Yan seemed certain that there were people here and had no intention of letting Su Chen go.

Gu Yan urged the Greedy Wolf to unleash a crimson moon, which flew like a scimitar, cutting down all the trees along its path.

Seeing this, Su Chen knew there was no point in continuing to hide, so he dodged away and appeared in front of everyone.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing Su Chen appear, Gu Yan questioned him, scrutinizing Su Chen's attire, which did not resemble the clothing of the forces in the nearby mountains.

In other words, the other party is very likely an outsider.

During this period, the purpose of the outsiders was self-evident: they were all after the legacy of Master Heiyan.

Master Heiyan was a prominent figure a thousand years ago, whose strength reached the eighth level, making him one of the top figures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Unfortunately, he was envied by the heavens and failed to transcend his tribulation. Although he did not die, he disappeared without a trace.

Until recently, someone discovered the lineage of the Black Rock Immortal in Black Rock Mountain, which immediately caused a sensation.

After all, this is the inheritance of a Nine-Turn Gu Master. Once you obtain the inheritance, it means you will have endless cultivation resources.

In the resource-scarce area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains, even if one cannot roam freely, at least one is spared a great deal of hardship.

He might become the second Black Rock Immortal in the future, cultivate to the ninth level, and become a superior being.

The Gu family originally wanted to take advantage of their geographical location to see if they could be the first to obtain the inheritance of the Black Rock Immortal, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and they were a step too late.

There are too many powerful forces vying for this inheritance. The strongest person in their Gu family is only at the seventh level of enlightenment, which is not even among the top forces, let alone entering the inheritance.

Left with no other option, they had to retreat.

After they withdrew, they discovered the Wen family members.

The Wen family and the Gu family have always been at odds. Since the Gu family could not inherit the family line, they certainly could not allow the Wen family to inherit the family line either.

That's why Gu Yan obstructed Wen Qingya and the others from going to Black Rock Mountain.

Unexpectedly, while the two sides were fighting, there were people watching from the shadows.

Su Chen gave an awkward yet polite smile: "You guys continue, I was just passing by!"

"Just passing by?" Gu Yan exclaimed in surprise, then waved his hand and said, "Then get lost!"

He didn't want to provoke Su Chen.

Although Su Chen's strength is unknown, the fact that he dared to travel alone shows that he is not someone to be trifled with.

In the vast mountains, there are two types of people you shouldn't easily provoke.

One type is the flamboyant person, who often has a powerful force behind him, and provoking him will bring huge trouble to the family.

One type is a lone wolf like Su Chen. The Ten Thousand Mountains are fraught with danger, and anyone who dares to venture into them without strength must possess extraordinary abilities.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so easy to talk to.

He could hear the impatience in Gu Yan's tone, and he could also tell that the other party really intended to let him go.

"By the way, I'd like to ask, where is Black Rock Mountain?"

Su Chen did not leave immediately, but instead asked a question.

These words made Gu Yan's lips twitch. It turned out that this guy didn't even know where Black Rock Mountain was, yet he dared to accept the inheritance of True Man Black Rock.

"Senior, over there!"

Gu Yan didn't speak, but Wen Qingya on the other side took the initiative to speak.

Like Gu Yan, she was also wary of Su Chen's sudden appearance, since those who were alone like Su Chen were often demonic Gu masters.

The hands of a demonic sorcerer are laden with blood.

They might be laughing one second, and the next they could be striking to take your life.

That's why Gu Yan and she stopped immediately. The two sides still seemed to be facing each other from a distance, but there was an invisible trend of them joining forces.

If Su Chen makes a move, they will not hesitate to launch a counterattack.

After all, although the two sides are enemies, they are both righteous Gu Masters, and they will cooperate when necessary.

Su Chen was unaware of this, but he could still see the clues.

After getting the answer he wanted, he smiled, said nothing, and turned to head towards Black Rock Mountain.

Seeing Su Chen leave, Gu Yan and Wen Qingya both breathed a sigh of relief.

But not long after, Su Chen reappeared, looking at Gu Yan with a deep expression and saying, "I don't like anyone putting anything on me!" (End of Chapter)
