I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Two blood-red scythes spun wildly around him.

It transformed into an impenetrable blood-red storm, forcefully blocking the sea-splitting qi blade.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted in mid-air.

The ordinary longsword in Gu Yun's hand couldn't withstand the earth-shattering back force the moment it came into contact with the late-stage Golden Core magic weapon. It shattered into dust!

"Hahaha! Without weapons, what can your mortal body use to fight me?!"

Using the force of the recoil, Xue Jiao forcibly stabilized himself in mid-air, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

He swung his hands violently, and the two scarlet iron chains connected to the sickles, with a whooshing sound, went straight for Gu Yun's collarbone lock!

"The Bloodthirsty Chain!"

Xue Jiao learned from the mistakes of the previous two.

He would never engage in close combat with this body-cultivating monster; he would use his natal magic weapon to lock Gu Yunyuan in place and drain his life force!

Faced with the lightning-fast Soul-Locking Chains, Gu Yun was suspended in mid-air with no way to avoid them.

But there was no panic in his bloodshot eyes; instead, there was a hint of madness!

"You won't come close? I'll make you come here anyway!"

Gu Yun pondered for a while.

The old method: the opponent didn't see it in the previous battle.

Without dodging or avoiding, he simply opened his arms, allowing the two scarlet iron chains covered in barbs to pierce through his shoulders!

puff!

puff!

Blood splattered! The barbs were firmly embedded in Gu Yun's glassy jade bones!

"We succeeded!"

Xue Jiao was overjoyed and gripped the iron chain tightly with both hands, about to unleash his magic to drain Gu Yun dry.

However, the next second, the ecstasy on his face froze instantly, turning into extreme horror!

Because he saw that Gu Yun, whose shoulders were pierced, not only did not let out a single scream, but instead grabbed the two scarlet iron chains tightly with his backhand!

Gu Yun raised his head, and on his blood-stained, eerie face, a smile more ferocious than that of a demon spread across his face.

"Old dog, don't you know I'm strong?"

"Get over here!"

Gu Yun roared violently, unleashing the terrifying power of his Great Wilderness Body without reservation!

He was like an ancient demon god uprooting a willow tree, suddenly pulling his arms back!

boom!

That force was simply too immense!

Xue Jiao felt an irresistible force coming from the other end of the iron chain, and he felt like a rag doll being pulled.

Gu Yun ripped him straight down from mid-air!

"No!"

Xue Jiao screamed in terror, trying to loosen the chains binding him, but it was too late!

Under Gu Yun's terrifying pulling force, Xue Jiao hurtled straight towards Gu Yun at a speed even faster than a flying sword!

Welcome to the world of hand-to-hand combat!

Gu Yun loosened the chains and, facing the charging Xue Jiao, swung his right fist like a heavy hammer, creating a piercing sonic boom, and smashed it toward Xue Jiao's face.

"Blood Shield Protection!!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Xue Jiao exerted all his strength to condense the strongest protective qi of the late Golden Core stage.

boom!

Gu Yun's iron fist slammed heavily onto the blood energy.

That protective aura was enough to withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator of the same level.

Under Gu Yun's pure physical destructive force, it only lasted for half a breath before it shattered like a fragile eggshell!

Click!

Gu Yun's fist, still powerful, landed squarely on Xue Jiao's face.

A sickening cracking sound rang out, and Xue Jiao's nose shattered instantly, with half of his cheekbone collapsing into the ground!

"Aaaaaah!"

Xue Jiao let out a piercing scream, but Gu Yun gave him no chance to catch his breath.

"I hate you high and mighty flying dogs the most!"

Gu Yun grabbed Xue Jiao by the collar and thrust his left knee into Xue Jiao's lower abdomen.

boom! boom! boom!

Three consecutive heavy knee strikes!

Each strike was more brutal than the last!

Each strike was more ferocious than the last!

Xue Jiao's internal organs were shattered, and blood gushed out.

He possessed the cultivation level of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

At the moment Gu Yun pulled him into close combat, he was completely reduced to a punching bag being beaten one-sidedly.

"Demon...you will die a horrible death..."

Xue Jiao's eyes were unfocused, blood was spitting from his mouth, and he was still uttering his final curses.

"I don't know if I'll live or die, but you'll definitely die before me!"

Gu Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood-red butterfly mark between his brows once again burst forth with a dazzling, demonic light!

His blood-stained right hand pierced Xue Jiao's shattered dantian like a sharp blade.

He grabbed the golden pill in one swift motion.

The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion!

Devour!

"suck!"

boom!

The immense spiritual power and boundless vitality surged wildly into Gu Yun's body through his arm.

Xue Jiao's body shrank at a visible rate.

Those eyes, filled with resentment and fear, gradually lost their luster and eventually turned into a withered skeleton.

boom.

Gu Yun released his grip, letting Xue Jiao's corpse fall into the mud.

He raised his head, spread his arms, and felt the terrifying energy within his body, like a volcanic eruption.

The vast amount of essence and blood from the late Golden Core stage instantly healed the severe injuries to his shoulders from the iron chains that pierced through them.

It also caused his physical body to faintly emit bursts of dragon roars and tiger howls that seemed to be breaking through limits!

Within the Purple Mansion's sea of ​​consciousness, there were dark golden seal characters.

[Slaying a late-stage Golden Core cultivator despite being of a higher level!]

[Life Deprivation in effect: Deprives the deceased of 1% of their remaining lifespan, granting them six years of lifespan in return.]

[The subject's current total lifespan: 177 years!]

"One hundred and seventy-seven years!..."

Gu Yun grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. His eerie face was filled with fanaticism.

These Golden Core cultivators all have a misconception: isn't it better to use skills from a distance? Why do they have to feed the enemy one by one like this?

He casually pulled the scarlet iron chains still hanging from his shoulders and threw them on the ground, then picked up Xue Jiao's storage ring.

Just then, the poisonous miasma surrounding the Bloodshed Ridge began to churn wildly once more.

"Well done!"

Gu Yun showed no fear. He casually brushed his blood-stained silver hair behind his head and let out a long howl.

laugh!

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out, followed by a dazzling sword aura.

With a terrifying speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it slashed straight at Gu Yun's head!

"What a fast sword!"

Gu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, and the instinct of his Great Wilderness Body made the hairs on his body stand on end.

Without any hesitation, he exerted force with both legs and moved three zhang to the side and back as if he had shifted into another form.

Boom!

The spot where he had just stood was cleaved by that sword energy, leaving a deep and terrifying crack!

"You dodged it? Heh, no wonder you can kill Golden Core cultivators one after another. Your physical reflexes are even sharper than those of demonic beasts."

A cold, arrogant sneer rang out from mid-air.

Gu Yun raised her head.

A hundred feet above, a middle-aged man dressed in a silver-white robe and carrying a sword box was standing on a blue flying sword, looking down at him.

The man was surrounded by sword energy, like a peerless blade drawn from its sheath, exuding a chilling aura of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Li Tai'a, a swordsman elder from the Wanjian Manor, who is in the late Golden Core stage!

Li Tai'a's gaze swept over the mud below.

He glanced at the two gruesome, dried corpses, his eyes twitched slightly, but were quickly replaced by a mocking expression.

"Without the slightest fluctuation of magical power, relying purely on physical strength and brute force... You're the legendary body cultivator?"

Li Tai'a shook his head with a cold smile.

"Body cultivators are indeed invincible in close combat. Xue Jiao and Wu Hua died at your hands because they were foolish enough to let you drag them into melee. But unfortunately for them, you've met your match today!"

"How could a wild beast wallowing in the mud, no matter how strong, possibly reach a bird soaring in the sky?"

Li Tai'a didn't give Gu Yun any chance to waste words.

As a top sword cultivator of Wanjian Manor, he knew that flying a kite was the absolute truth in dealing with body cultivators!

"Ten Thousand Swords Technique! Rain Falls!"

Li Tai'a formed a complex sword incantation with both hands, and the sword box behind him suddenly burst open!

Clang clang clang!

Thousands of azure spirit swords formed from the spiritual power of the late-stage Golden Core realm.

The sky above Gu Yun's head was instantly filled with countless tiny creatures!

"go!"

Li Tai'a gave a pointer.

A rain of swords, accompanied by ear-piercing sonic booms, poured down on Gu Yun below like an indiscriminate metallic storm!

"That flying dog, it's fucking sneaky!"

Gu Yun gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

A hundred feet in the air!

At this distance, even if his Great Wilderness Body has terrifying jumping ability, he can still achieve great things.

In mid-air, they would become sitting ducks with no leverage, and would definitely be shredded into mincemeat by this rain of swords!

"hide!"

Gu Yun's legs moved frantically, his whole body becoming a blur as he darted through the complex terrain.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

The rain of swords fell, and the earth seemed to be subjected to a brutal, plowing-like bombardment!

A black iron tree that would take dozens of people to encircle was instantly shredded into wood chips, and hard black rocks were pierced like tofu.

Although Gu Yun was extremely fast, the sheer density of his attacks was overwhelming!

laugh!

laugh!

Several streaks of sword energy slipped through the net, grazing Gu Yun's shoulders and thighs.

Although the glass-like jade bones blocked the fatal cuts, they were still cut open with deep, bone-revealing grooves, and blood gushed out.

"Hahaha! Run, keep running! Let's see how long your legs can keep going."

Li Tai'a stood high in the sky, manipulating the rain of swords like a cat playing with a mouse.

It clung tightly to Gu Yun's buttocks.

If Gu Yun slows down even slightly, he will be pierced through the heart by a thousand swords.

"Flying Dog, you just wait!"

Gu Yun frantically coughed up blood as he fled, rapidly scanning the surrounding terrain.

Soon, his gaze locked onto the canyon ahead, a narrow gorge with sheer cliffs hundreds of feet high on both sides!

"That's it!"

Gu Yun suddenly turned back and plunged into the narrow, narrow canyon.

"What a foolish brute! He actually ran into a dead end!"

Li Tai'a, who was in mid-air, saw this situation.

A glint of wild joy flashed in his eyes. He stepped onto his flying sword and quickly descended to a position less than thirty feet above the canyon, ready to trap them like turtles in a jar.

"It's over! The myriad swords of the Heavenly Gang, united as one!"

Li Tai'a suddenly clasped his hands together.

The rain of swords instantly coalesced into a giant cyan sword.

The terrifying pressure locked onto Gu Yun's soul, filling the entire canyon and plunging down towards him, who had nowhere to escape.

"it's over!"

However, even in this seemingly hopeless situation...

Gu Yun, who was at the bottom of the canyon, suddenly stopped.

He turned around and raised his face.

Looking at Li Tai'a, who was less than thirty feet above his head, he grinned, revealing a chilling, sinister smile.

"You're flying too low, birdman."

Gu Yun suddenly raised his hands, and before anyone knew it, his ten fingers were filled with array flags and spirit stones!

Snapped!

Gu Yun slammed his hands together in front of him, using sheer physical strength to crush a high-grade spirit stone between his palms into powder.

This is the trigger that sets off the formation.

hum!

In an instant, a blinding dark yellow light burst forth from the cliffs on both sides of the First Line Sky Canyon!

Just now, when Gu Yun was frantically fleeing, every time he used the cliff face to push off, he drove an array flag and a spirit stone into the rock strata.

"Void Array, activate!"

With a roar from Gu Yun, the world within the canyon...

A suction force thousands of times more terrifying than ordinary gravity.

"What?"

Li Tai'a's expression changed drastically. His cyan greatsword, which was about to strike Gu Yun, was now under the terrifying gravity.

It let out a mournful cry, lost control, and crashed violently against the cliff beside it!

Even more deadly was that the flying sword beneath Li Tai'a's feet instantly lost all its spiritual power supporting it.

"Anti-flight formation? How could a body cultivator like you, who doesn't even have any magic power, possibly cast a large formation while running!"

Lee Tae-ah let out an incredulous, terrified scream.

He desperately tried to use his magic to ascend back into the air.

The more he struggled, the more terrifying the force pulling him down became.

"Get down."

Gu Yun's legs were slightly bent, and the blood and qi of the Great Wilderness Body were completely boiling at this moment!

boom!

The rocks beneath Gu Yun's feet were crushed into dust.

He was like a shooting star defying the heavens, soaring upwards towards the falling Li Tai'a.

The distance instantly shrank.

Ten zhang!

Five feet!

One foot!

"No! Don't come near!"

Li Tai'a was terrified when he saw the rapidly enlarging, ferocious face.

Once a body cultivator gets close, there's only one outcome!

"Sword and shield protect the body, sword heart remains steadfast!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Li Tai'a crushed his natal sword talisman, and an indestructible layer of golden sword energy instantly enveloped him.

"The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion, the Pearl of Fear, the Heart of the Broken Sword."

Gu Yun's eyes flashed with blood-red light in mid-air!

Two tangible streams of mental pollution, like two highly poisonous steel needles, pierced directly into Li Tai'a's sea of ​​consciousness!

"what!"

Li Tai'a's once rock-solid sword heart cracked instantly under the impact of endless fear.

The once indestructible golden sword aura also flickered violently.

"die!"

Gu Yun's iron hand.

With the terrifying power of the "Nine Slashes of Prison Suppression" technique, it slammed into the shimmering sword energy.

Click!

The sword energy shattered like glass.

Gu Yun's large hand slid straight in and firmly clamped Li Tai'a's ankle.

"Flying in the sky must be so much fun, right?"

Gu Yunren was in mid-air when he suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen.

They actually treated Li Tai'a like a human-shaped hammer, swinging him around in mid-air in an exaggerated crescent arc.

It crashed down onto the solid cliff face of the canyon.

boom!

A terrifyingly loud bang!

Li Tai'a's body came into a tragic and intimate encounter with the cliff face.

Although the physical body of someone in the late Golden Core stage is not weak.

But this purely physical impact, exceeding the speed of sound, produced a terrifying explosion that shattered bones.

puff!

Li Tai'a coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

The person was smashed beyond recognition, and their eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.

But Gu Yun's killing spree was not over yet!

"Again!"

The two fell towards the bottom of the valley at the same time. Gu Yun exerted his strength again in mid-air, using the momentum of the fall to pull Li Tai'a sharply towards himself.

Then, Gu Yun raised his right knee and slammed it hard into Li Tai'a's spine.

Click!

Li Tai'a's spine was broken in the middle, and his whole body was folded over in a strange V-shape.

Boom!

The two crashed heavily to the bottom of the valley, creating a deep crater in the ground.

Gu Yun pressed one knee onto Li Tai'a's battered body, his five fingers like knives, mercilessly piercing through his dantian, and grabbing the golden core in his hand.

"Spare...spare my life..."

Blood kept gushing from Li Tai'a's mouth, and his once arrogant eyes were now filled with endless fear and pleading.

"In your next life, remember not to fly so low."

Gu Yun showed no pity, and the blood butterfly mark between his brows flashed wildly.

The Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion

Devour!

"Ughhhhhh!!"

The sword cultivator's essence, at the late Golden Core stage, transformed into the most violent torrent of energy, frantically pouring into Gu Yun's body!

Li Tai'a's body rapidly withered during the convulsions, eventually turning into a lifeless, skeletal shell.

"call!"
