In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

"That's right, which young master Zhang wants me to protect someone."

I still don't know this person's identity, but he gave me enough benefits: unparalleled internal energy, a lost martial arts technique called the Wind and Thunder Palm, and even a peerless divine weapon.

"What a great handwriting!"

Unparalleled internal energy! Wind and Thunder Palm Technique! Rare divine weapon!

Besides that Mr. Zhang, who else in the world could offer such terms? And with such exceptional terms, the price to pay is also unimaginable.

Protecting someone has no time limit; it's a woman's youth.

Revolt?

He was no match for the Golden-Faced Buddha at all; the huge gap in their last encounter meant they were not even on the same level.

power?

Ghost Street, the Flying Guillotine, and the Zhang family's so-called experts—none of them are people that Hell's Gate can handle.

Unbeknownst to him, Gu Jianhun had already begun to consider Tu Xuehua's future.

"Could it be that little girl from the Demonic Sect? I saw her last time; she seemed rather alluring."

This young master Zhang is a womanizer, a member of the demonic path; since their relationship cannot be exposed, he might be protecting her safety.

"Who is that little girl from the Demonic Sect?"

"Ren Woxing's daughter, I saw her following Dongfang Bubai at Yanxia Manor last time, she's quite the vixen."

Furthermore, rumors suggest that Dongfang Bubai has a close relationship with the Zhang family. The fact that Dongfang Bubai didn't kill her after his return, but instead kept her by his side to serve him, is likely due to the Zhang family's influence!

Ren Yingying?

If Zhang Xiaoshan were here, he would definitely admire Gu Jianhun's wildly imaginative ideas.

Moreover, this is already very close to the goal. After all, Dongfang Bubai disguised herself as a man in the Sun Moon Cult for twenty years, yet no one discovered her identity. How could Gu Jianhun be an exception?

Besides, what kind of martial arts is the Sunflower Manual?

Even if Dongfang Bai possessed a hint of feminine charm, it was perfectly normal in the eyes of the Ancient Sword Soul.

It is only natural for people to entrust Ren Yingying to the protection of someone like Dongfang Bubai.

"is her?"

Tu Xuehua was somewhat surprised and doubtful, not expecting that the person Zhang Xiaoshan asked her to protect would be a witch from a demonic sect.

"No, how can I sacrifice my daughter, Gu Jianhun's daughter, for a little vixen?"

"My affairs are none of your business."

Besides, the Zhang family has already given us something, and we can't possibly repay it. Do you expect us to use your Buddha's Palm technique?

Tu Xuehua let out a mocking laugh, and Gu Jianhun suddenly realized, exclaiming in shock and anger:

"That's right, it's the Tathagata Palm!"

"What a Zhang family! They've schemed against me, Gu Jianhun! Their goal is to force me, Gu Jianhun, to use the Tathagata Palm to buy your freedom!"

Hiss...

These words were like a wake-up call, even startling Tu Xuehua.

Because it's not impossible; if it were true, the Zhang family's scheme would be terrifying.

"I don't need your help!"

Tu Xuehua knew she had been tricked from the very beginning, but she hadn't expected the trickery to be so deep. This was the treacherous nature of the martial world.

She could easily be outmaneuvered if she wasn't careful, but Tu Xuehua had her own pride.

She never wanted to have anything to do with the Ancient Sword Soul, so she was extremely wary of this matter!

"Hmph, I won't use the Tathagata Palm technique for you and let these scoundrels benefit from it."

If a person knew they had been tricked, would they keep their promise?

At this moment, Tu Xuehua decided to face it alone. She would rather protect a little demoness for the rest of her life than be successfully outmaneuvered.

The father and daughter's first reunion ended on bad terms.

As for the way the father and daughter get along, they are no different from strangers.

Meanwhile, in the martial arts world, as Tu Xuehua returned to the Gate of Hell, countless people felt as if they had discovered a new continent.

They didn't feel that the father-daughter relationship was like that of strangers.

They believed that by capturing Tu Xuehua, they could force Gu Jianhun to hand over the Tathagata Palm.

In an instant, the entire martial arts world was in turmoil.

Tu Xuehua was unaware of the impending crisis, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared.

With her current martial arts skills and the divine weapon in her hand, she is not afraid of any martial arts masters in the world.

The devastating power of the Wind and Thunder Palm is in no way inferior to the palm force that dominates the human world!

As time went by, the blood ties between them, though neither of them wanted to acknowledge it or recognize each other as father and daughter, faded.

But undoubtedly, this unbreakable bond led them to gradually acknowledge each other's existence.

As a result, the Gates of Hell quieted down considerably.

As a notorious force in the martial arts world, the evil of Hellgate is not a fabrication by the righteous path.

In the Hell Gate, where the strong reign supreme, it's not surprising that the strong bully the weak.

Even if Tu Xuehua wanted to reform them, the entire Hell Gate was a bunch of scoundrels, the kind of hopeless disgrace to the martial arts world. How could they possibly listen to Tu Xuehua's advice?

Therefore, Tu Xuehua felt utterly disgusted by this gate to hell.

Perhaps only an avenger like Gu Jianhun can subdue these scoundrels of the martial arts world.

Tu Xuehua calmly dealt with the various attacks every day.

Whether they were low-level characters or renowned martial arts masters, Tu Xuehua remained largely unmoved.

These people posed absolutely no threat to her!

On the contrary, Feng Zhang, Liu Piaopiao and others were all taken aback by Tu Xuehua's strength. Tu Xuehua's skill was no less than theirs, and they instantly labeled her as a 'fake' in their eyes.

But Gu Jianhun showed no surprise whatsoever.

Tu Xuehua's skill was not only at the pinnacle of mastery, but he had also experienced the fierce, domineering, and unparalleled power of the Wedding Dress True Qi.

Especially the Wind and Thunder Palm, which is the ultimate skill of the Ghost Street Guardian Granny, so the Tu Xuehua sent by the Zhang family could not be fake.

····

"father!"

Tu Xuehua, who was strolling around the small town, suddenly had a bright idea in her eyes.

Slaughter them!

At this moment, Tu Jin looked at Tu Xuehua with joy, not expecting that Tu Xuehua had been doing quite well during this period.

His visit this time was not just a simple meeting, but it did not prevent the father and daughter from reuniting, since the righteous and demonic paths would inevitably clash sooner or later.

The reason why Yanxia Manor suffered a crushing defeat last time was ultimately because they underestimated the strength of Gu Jianhun.

They thought that Gu Jianhun's crushing defeat at the hands of the Golden-Faced Buddha meant that his strength wasn't as terrifying as the legends suggested.

Who knew that those two slaps would terrify everyone?

Strength and weakness are merely relative comparisons.

The Golden-Faced Buddha's strength lies in the fact that his martial arts have reached a level of divine artistry, while the Ancient Sword Soul is simply inferior to him.

But against them, Gu Jianhun's martial arts were like crushing ants.

"So you're saying it was all a scheme by the Zhang family? But it might not be a bad thing for you."

The secrets that the Zhang family could discover, the Dragon Guard Manor certainly wouldn't miss either. At the very least, the Zhang family wouldn't allow you and your father to kill each other, and they even gave you unparalleled internal energy and the Wind and Thunder Palm Technique!

Tu Jin marveled at Tu Xuehua's extraordinary opportunities and was also happy for her.

At least for now, Tu Xuehua no longer needed his concern. With his terrifying and domineering internal strength, coupled with the Wind and Thunder Palm Technique, he was virtually unmatched in the martial arts world.

Even if the Ancient Sword Soul had a change of heart and taught her one or two moves of the Tathagata Palm, Tu Xuehua would be completely safe.

"Furthermore, Zhu Wushi has gathered a large number of experts to prepare for an attack on the Gate of Hell!"

They want you to be their mole, they even want to capture you to blackmail Gu Jianhun. From now on, don't show your face in the martial world. With your strength, you're more than capable of protecting yourself. Don't get involved in this war between good and evil!

"Father, but you and Mother..."

"Don't worry, your mother and I are both renowned masters in the martial arts world. Unless we face the Ancient Sword Soul directly, no one from Hell Gate can pose a threat to us."

"Father, be careful!"

"Okay, I've got it. Don't leave the Gates of Hell. This battle between good and evil is about to begin."

There are too many people trying to take advantage of you, so don't trust anyone, including...

He wanted to say the person's name, but Tu Jin didn't speak.

But Tu Jin didn't speak in the end. Did Tu Xuehua really know who it was? Dongdao Changli had already told her before leaving.

It's clear that he truly had absolutely no feelings for her!

Chapter 361 The Battle Between Good and Evil: The Ancient Sword Soul Unleashed Its Bloodlust

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Ten red-coated cannons fired simultaneously. These were ten red-coated cannons that Zhu Wushi had acquired to guard the border.

As soon as the cannon fired, screams of agony filled the Gates of Hell.

The power of these red-coated cannons is no joke; a single shot can cause devastation within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Although its range is not as wide as that of the Gang Jin (罡劲), the power of artillery is devastating.

Without top-tier protective qi, anyone within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) will almost certainly suffer severe injury.

The ancient sword spirit, who was sitting in the center, showed no expression. He had known about the siege by the righteous experts for a long time.

But to him, these pieces of trash are just dead.

He doesn't care about these people at all; they're trash that can't even withstand artillery fire. There will be as many as he wants in the future.

Even as Tu Xuehua watched the hell below from the side, she remained unmoved.

It's not that she lacks compassion, but rather that she knows these things are truly rubbish.

Each and every one of them was a scoundrel who committed countless evil deeds and deserved to die.

As a result, the fate of the disciples of Hell, who were abandoned by both sides, is predictable.

After a round of bombardment, the righteous experts also rushed in.

This attack on the Gates of Hell involves not only the righteous forces of the martial arts world, but also the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin, the Seven Heroes of Wudang, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen...

Hell Gate is notoriously vicious, and thus it has provoked widespread anger not only from Yanxia Manor.

Faced with such an extremely evil force that could potentially wreak havoc on the martial arts world, the righteous factions of the martial arts world naturally united together.

Even though Gu Jianhun didn't take these people seriously, he was still shaken at this moment.

However, confident in the power of the Tathagata Palm, he did not take the group of martial arts heroes seriously.

As the daughter of the Ancient Sword Soul, Tu Xuehua became the target of the righteous sects of the martial arts world. By capturing Tu Xuehua, they gained the ability to control the Ancient Sword Soul.

Faced with the temptation of the Tathagata Palm, the group of experts were not so righteous and awe-inspiring.

In an instant, the experts who stormed into the Gates of Hell split into two groups:

They openly and directly attacked the Ancient Sword Soul, making them true heroes in the martial arts world, whose goal was to truly eliminate evil.

The other path is that of Tu Xuehua, who holds the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, but his true intentions are not what they seem.

However, at this moment, the valley where the Gate of Hell was located was filled with shouts of battle, and even Gu Jianhun could not pay attention to Tu Xuehua.

Moreover, he wasn't worried about Tu Xuehua's martial arts skills.

On the contrary, when facing these righteous martial arts practitioners, Gu Jianhun did not have the same scruples as Zhang Xiaoshan.
