Gu Qingfeng's Golden Core clearly disintegrated, and he had no Spiritual Breath on him at all. How could he have a Golden Core?
Where did his Golden Core come from?
And such an overwhelmingly vast Golden Core spiritual power at that?
This...
What in the world is going on?
Lan Feier and the others were utterly dumbfounded.
They were like this.
And the shock in Su Hua's heart was beyond words. At this moment, she dared not believe her eyes more than anyone else. Her peerlessly beautiful face was deathly pale and ashen, her beautiful eyes wide open as if witnessing something even more unbelievable than a divine miracle. Her heart was screaming wildly—Taiji Golden Core...
She still remembered clearly that day at Yunxiao, she had personally witnessed Gu Qingfeng ignite that Taiji Golden Core, and had seen with her own eyes the Taiji Golden Core disintegrate bit by bit. She was absolutely certain Gu Qingfeng had no Spiritual Breath on him at all, his cultivation completely lost, and could confirm his aura was weak, definitely caused by the Golden Core's disintegration.
If that's the case, then what is the deal with this Taiji Golden Core of Gu Qingfeng's?
Cultivated anew?
Is that possible?
This is, after all, a Taiji Golden Core!
Hailed as the king among Golden Cores, an existence capable of inheriting the True Mandate, and the qualification to vie for the title of Human King.
Is he a God?
Destroying and cultivating at will?
Destroy one Taiji Golden Core, and cultivate a second one?
What a joke.
Absolutely impossible!
But...
If it wasn't cultivated anew, where did he get this Taiji Golden Core from?
Suddenly.
Su Hua thought of another possibility.
Suspecting that what Gu Qingfeng condensed back then wasn't one Taiji Golden Core, but perhaps two?
Thinking it over, this seemed to be the only possibility.
If that were truly the case, it would be too unbelievable.
A Taiji Golden Core, not seen once in a thousand years, and this guy actually condensed two at the same time? This is simply...
Simply too inconceivable.
She could not accept Gu Qingfeng's Absolute Force, could not accept Gu Qingfeng's contemptuous and overwhelmingly domineering Killing Intent, and even less could she accept the possibility of Gu Qingfeng cultivating two Taiji Golden Cores.
This gave her the first feeling of envy, jealousy, and resentment in her life. Even with her myriad blessings, various heavenly endowments and imperial edicts, she still felt envious.
Who among Humans wouldn't want to possess a king among cores like the Taiji Golden Core?
Su Hua felt that if she cultivated a Taiji Golden Core, she would wake up laughing from her dreams.
And this guy? He destroyed one, and actually still had another!
This is just too unfair!
Just as she was marveling, Su Hua thought carefully and felt something was off again.
Even if Gu Qingfeng obtained heaven-defying fortune and cultivated two Taiji Golden Cores, if he destroyed one, the other would definitely be affected. Yet, looking at him, he didn't seem affected in the slightest.
What puzzled Su Hua the most was, if Gu Qingfeng truly cultivated two Taiji Golden Cores, why would he destroy one of them? Did he think destroying one could fool Old Heaven?
No!
That's impossible!
If he cultivated two Taiji Golden Cores, he couldn't possibly hide it from Old Heaven. Even if he destroyed one, he couldn't hide it. Old Heaven would still descend the Tribulation Source.
But Old Heaven didn't. Not only did it not, it seemed to have vanished.
Could it be that Old Heaven was fooled by him?
That's not very likely, is it!
What in the world is going on!
And how did this guy hide the Spiritual Breath of the Taiji Golden Core so completely airtight?
In Su Hua's view, this was even more impossible. Unless a person died completely, their heart stopped beating, they stopped breathing, and their life ended, otherwise, Spiritual Breath simply could not be absolutely hidden.
But damn it, this guy is clearly alive and well.
Why on earth, how exactly did he do it?
Su Hua was almost driven to the brink of collapse, because far too many impossible things had all become possible on Gu Qingfeng.
Peerless musical attainments.
A true body possessing Absolute Force.
And that contemptuous, overwhelmingly domineering Killing Intent, along with the 'resurrected' Taiji Golden Core.
What kind of person is he?
Or is he simply not Human at all?
Is he a God?
Otherwise, how could he be so god-like?
The night was a dark night.
The wind was a gale.
The dark clouds in the sky above swept past like rolling river waves, like a tsunami.
Quiet, it was a profound quiet.
Silent, it was a deathly silence.
Those who had died within the grounds had already turned to dust, while most of those still alive were paralyzed on the ground, shrouded in fear, trembling, afraid.
White robes fluttered in the dark night, black hair danced wildly in the gale. Gu Qingfeng stood in mid-air, like a war God looking down upon the heavens, like a king contemptuous of the world. His cold, stern face was filled with indifferent ruthlessness, his dark eyes brimming with overwhelmingly domineering Killing Intent.
"I said, although my memory is poor, I remember clearly who has laid hands on me, who has harbored Killing Intent towards me. Don't think hiding in the shadows means nothing happened."
Gu Qingfeng's voice came, like thunderclaps exploding in mid-air, shaking the dark clouds into dispersal, like thunder detonating underground, shaking the very earth.
"Come out and die!"
He raised a hand and pointed. A turbid radiance flashed, and with a bang in the distance, a huge crater exploded, blasting out nine people—the nine Supreme Elders of the Yuqing Sect. Blasted out, the nine were scared out of their wits, fleeing desperately without regard for anything else.
"Ignorant of life and death!"
Gu Qingfeng swept his arm. A turbid radiance flashed past, and the nine Supreme Elders of the Yuqing Sect were instantly reduced to dust.
"You!
And you all!
All of you, come out and die!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Around the distant surroundings, over a dozen thunderous explosions erupted, blasting out dozens of people—all Supreme Elders from various major sects hiding in the shadows. Like the Yuqing Sect's Supreme Elders, they were scared out of their wits. Knowing escape was impossible, they knelt and begged for mercy.
"We beg Your Excellency for mercy! This old one and the others did not intend to attack!"
"We had no intention of offending Your Excellency! We beg Young Master to show leniency!"
"Fairy Hua, save us!
Save us—!"
In the courtyard of the Wind-Cloud Branch Hall, Su Hua watched those terrified old-timers in the distance and did not speak.
She knew these people had hidden in the shadows and, taking advantage of the chaos earlier, had all attacked Gu Qingfeng. They deserved their punishment, and their deaths were justified.
Those who kill shall be killed.
This is an eternal, unchanging truth.
If you dare to attack and kill, you must be prepared to be killed. If you fail to kill, and have the ability, then run. If you can't run, then only resign yourself to fate.
You can't just beg for your life because you failed to kill.
The world has no such cheap deals.
Although Su Hua was kind-hearted, she was no saint.
She would save those worth saving, and would absolutely not save those not worth saving.
If there was injustice, she would save.
Even if they attacked but harbored no Killing Intent, she would save. But those who both harbored Killing Intent and attacked—for such people, she would have not an ounce of pity, and would not lift a finger to save them.
She did not speak, and Gu Qingfeng had already acted. With a sweep of his arm, dozens of Supreme Elders from various major sects were instantly reduced to dust.
