"No... spare me..."

Xue Wulong’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with anger and unwillingness, then he let out a scream, and his brow suddenly burst open with a "puff".

Blood splattered, and Xue Wulong’s eyes instantly lost their divine light, becoming dim and colorless.

A voice belonging to Gu Yuan faintly echoed in the air: "Gu Kong Monster, you have no honor, breaking your word and bullying the weak with the strong! Xue Wulong’s death is just interest! Just wait, I may not be your match now, but I will kill you myself sooner or later!"

"..."

Gu Kong Monster looked at the blood stains splattered on his hand, and at the pitifully departed Xue Wulong, as well as the various gazes of shock, wonder, schadenfreude, peculiarity, or onlookers from those around, his expression fluctuated uncertainly, then he deeply exhaled, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart.

Gu Kong Monster knew that from now on, the name of Gu Kong Monster would probably stink everywhere!

Even if he returned to the sect, he would be punished!

If he made a move and could capture or kill Gu Yuan, that would be fine, with only a little trouble afterward at most.

But the problem was, not only did he break the rules by making a move, he also failed to capture Gu Yuan in time, and allowed the opportunity for Gu Yuan to kill Xue Wulong right under his eyes. This situation was simply terrible!

"Chu He..."

Gu Kong Monster gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling, angered, frustrated, and helpless all at once, wishing he could tear Gu Yuan into pieces!

Yet by now, it was ultimately too late.

After today, both Gu Kong Monster and Yuqiao Immortal Palace shall await Gu Yuan’s revenge!

...

Under the sea, within a simple cave mansion.

"Hmm? The clone died..."

Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes while resting with eyes closed, seemingly sensing the fall of the clone, along with some other things.

He arranged his fingers, with streams of light flashing in his eyes, as if deploying some strange divine techniques.

Soon, Gu Yuan withdrew the Dharma Seal, a look of realization crossing his face: "Oh, so it was killed by the Yang Spirit expert Gu Kong Monster from Yuqiao Immortal Palace."

"Damn Gu Kong Monster, lacking honor... A damned Yang Spirit old man bullying a young hero like me in his twenties, truly shameless... Sooner or later, I’ll give him a hard lesson..."

Gu Yuan began to mutter:

"Fortunately, when the clone was about to escape, he took the opportunity to kill Xue Wulong too, somewhat venting my anger, like collecting interest in advance."

In truth, for the clone to kill Xue Wulong, Gu Yuan admitted that he also had some luck.

That Xue Wulong had a strong physique, a proper body cultivator, his body akin to being indestructible like Vajra, even common magical treasures could hardly harm him, like an unbreakable copper pea!

If it were a proper magical battle, Gu Yuan wouldn’t have guaranteed to resolve him quickly.

However, despite his strong physique, his divine soul cultivation was only average.

On the other hand, Gu Yuan’s divine soul cultivation far surpassed those of the same level, though not comparable to formidable Yin Spirit giants like Xiu Daozhen or Yan Chunyang, ordinary Yin Spirit giants couldn’t match Gu Yuan in this regard.

Furthermore, his Great Divine Techniques Dream Realm was mysterious and unpredictable, thus... he simply deployed this Great Divine Techniques, dragging Xue Wulong’s divine soul consciousness into the dream realm.

And not just any dream realm, but a deep, specialized dream realm, then trapped him with layer upon layer of illusions.

Even if Xue Wulong had a strong will, able to break free from the dream realm, beyond the dream realm were still layers of dreams and illusions.

In a short time, in Xue Wulong’s consciousness, a long period seemed to have passed, causing a confusion between reality and dream, allowing Gu Yuan to seize the chance to kill his divine soul, leading to his death!

Thus, Xue Wulong was indeed unlucky.

However, he deserved it.

Who made him a disciple of Yuqiao Immortal Palace?

Yet the Innate Qi Capture deployed by Gu Kong Monster, especially the fused Five Elements Divine Techniques, brought Gu Yuan valuable insights.

Regarding the Five Elements Sword Dao Grand Array, he gained some intriguing ideas.

In the coming months, Gu Yuan decided to delve into training, studying swordsmanship and arrays.

Nearly a year has passed when Gu Yuan finally preliminarily perfected some of his ideas.

At this moment, inside the training room.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Before him floated five flying swords.

These five flying swords were transformed from the water vapor condensed by Gu Yuan, although they were water swords, each sword now emitted five spiritual lights: forest white, jade green, pure blue, fire red, and earth yellow.

Moreover, the aura of the five flying swords was vastly different, each having attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Under Gu Yuan’s control, these five Five Elements Flying Swords cooperated with each other, changing unpredictably, deeply transforming and restraining each other, truly ever-changing.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood—wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, metal restrains wood...

An aura of endless regeneration, perpetual cycle, and unrivaled sharp energy subtly circulated, spreading out, suppressing the entire cave mansion, even expanding outward.

Even fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles within hundreds of miles seemed to sense the danger, escaping in haste, creating considerable panic.

Taking in this sight, Gu Yuan smiled in satisfaction, and with a thought, the five flying swords before him underwent further transformation, splitting into two, then four, then eight.

In a breath or so, the training room where Gu Yuan was, filled densely with three hundred and sixty-five flying swords.

With a thought, the entire cave mansion seemed to collapse and sink.

These over three hundred flying swords dragged long, multicolored tails, arranged quickly into a sword formation.

It appeared stern and domineering, filled with killing intent, enveloping the surrounding space for several miles, everything caught in it, whether rocks, corals, shells, fish, or crabs, whether tangible or intangible, was smashed and expelled.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan scattered the Five Elements Sword Dao Grand Array.

"Not bad, this Five Elements Sword Dao Grand Array is based on the Five Elements, using the Five Elements Sword Dao, capable of evolving and regenerating endlessly, its power far exceeds the techniques and Thunder Skills divine techniques I’ve deployed, even though this is only possible after perfecting the simulation, it proves the potential of this Five Elements Sword Dao Array..."

Gu Yuan continuously nodded, and this was merely a grand array set up using flying swords condensed from mana into water vapor, if these five flying swords were replaced with real magical treasure-level flying swords, their power would definitely grow substantially.
