System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Unfortunately, this power of heaven and earth tried several times to break through space and use instant teleportation to escape this place, but a shocking scene occurred.

After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, this powerful force of heaven and earth vanished like a candle in the wind, and the attempt to teleport it failed.

"This...how is this possible?"

Gu Yingying stared at the cold smile on the white-haired youth's face, her heart sinking as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Without a second thought, she immediately pulled out another teleportation talisman and crushed it without hesitation. As expected, it ended in failure again.

"Trying to escape with a mere talisman right in front of me? Tell me, aren't you underestimating me?"

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, the electric wings on his back suddenly flapped violently, and a blinding white bolt of lightning snaked out like a serpent, instantly spreading to Gu Yingying's side.

When Gu Yingying witnessed Chen Xuan's sudden appearance up close, her heart seemed to stop for a moment, her breath caught in her throat, and her eyes were filled with deep fear.

"you--"

However, before Gu Yingying could make any counterattack, Chen Xuan had already reached out and clamped his hand on Gu Kui's neck with the precision of an iron clamp.

Immediately afterwards, a sword intent containing the ultimate principles of swordsmanship burst forth from Chen Xuan's arm like a surging torrent within the Gu puppet's body.

"break!"

The power of the true meaning of the sword path was terrifying. The moment it erupted in the body of the Gu puppet senior brother, Gu Yingying, who had been pretending to be shocked and fearful, suddenly slumped down, her life force vanished instantly, and she turned into a lifeless walking corpse.

Such a bizarre scene suddenly appeared before his eyes. Just as Chen Xuan had expected, after making direct contact with the girl, all the tricks she had shown before turned out to be an illusion.

"I say, are you going to continue pretending to be a puppet?" Chen Xuan picked up the Gu puppet that was pretending to have lost its master's control, a cold smile on his face, and said, "Actually, this girl is your puppet, isn't she? And you are the master behind the scenes who is manipulating this girl, am I right?" Chen Xuan's eyes were like torches, staring intently at the Gu puppet senior brother.

Upon hearing this, the Gu puppet senior brother, whose seven orifices were continuously gushing black blood, could no longer maintain his disguise. He slowly opened his chaotic, dark eyes, his gaze filled with apprehension, staring intently at Chen Xuan, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How did you see through my true form?"

As the Gu Puppet Master's main body suffered severe damage, the Gu poison domain in this area, having lost the support of Yuan energy, gradually faded away like smoke blown away by the wind, and eventually disappeared completely.

Chen Xuan casually tossed his defenseless Gu Puppet senior brother to the ground, a smile playing on his lips, and asked, "How did you find out?"

The true meaning of the Great Dao continued to rage through the meridians and body of the Gu Puppet Senior Brother, rendering him completely immobile. At this moment, his sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan without blinking.

“Actually, I didn’t notice it at the beginning of our fight.” Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and continued, “It’s a pity that you were too hasty just now. When we were both highly focused, you had your natal Gu puppet attack me. In that instant, I noticed a trace of emotion that shouldn’t belong to a puppet flash in your originally empty eyes.”

"What? You actually caught it in just that one instant?" Senior Brother Gu Kui stared at Chen Xuan in shock, as if he were facing a demon god from hell, which was unbelievable.

"Your disguise is quite impressive." Chen Xuan said, kicking the numerous dead but still writhing Gu worms on the ground with disgust. He continued, "Such insidious and ruthless methods would probably kill any opponent of equal strength in the same realm."

"Hmph, I only use this move on those I am absolutely certain of. Anyone who has fought me and seen this move has been turned into a Gu puppet by me."
