Stronger by Killing

Chapter 313 - 264: Outbreak of the Great Battle (Part 3)

In the midst of chaos,

Gu Zhan gripped the Cold Iron Bow, each arrow he released transformed into a torrential rain of arrows, indiscriminately killing wherever they fell. He rode through the battlefield on his Red Fire Dragon Steed clad in heavy armor, followed by many experts from the Beidou Bang.

"Palm Seal, be careful!"

Tan Lang rode closely beside Gu Zhan, speaking in a low voice: "There are many experts in the Demon Dao. You just shot Ye Zhaonan, drawing too much attention. By now, many people are likely targeting you. Try to move closer to the Righteous Dao experts!"

Tan Lang was genuinely anxious now,

Even though that shot from Gu Zhan had helped Wei Wuya and the others out of trouble, it also made him very conspicuous, and many Demon Dao experts would surely be thinking of killing him.

The Beidou Bang, unlike other major sects with profound heritage, lacked the grandmasters to assist. Those sect’s Celestial Prides were charging into the fray, but they had grandmaster experts supporting them. However, the Beidou Bang’s foundation was too weak; Xiao Chen had been gravely injured a few days ago and hadn’t recovered yet, so he was not participating in this battle, leaving no one to support Gu Zhan.

Currently, Celestial Prides from various sects were participating in the battle,

But everyone knew that those Celestial Prides were not the main forces; they were mostly there to gain experience and fame. Especially after the Demon Dao’s assassination incident, sects had become more protective of their Celestial Prides.

But the Beidou Bang’s foundation was lacking, with no other grandmasters to support Gu Zhan, who was now conspicuous due to that pre-battle arrow.

However, unlike Tan Lang’s anxiety, Gu Zhan remained calm,

Occasionally glancing at the rapidly increasing Experience Points, feeling quite pleased instead,

Gaining attention was good; otherwise, how could his Experience Points rise so quickly?

Gu Zhan drew his bowstring, and a Feathered Arrow formed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi appeared, instantly shooting out, transforming into a dense rain of arrows in the air, piercing through a host of Demon Dao individuals.

At this moment suddenly,

A fierce killing intent emanated from the air,

A long spear descended as if a mountain had fallen, producing a thunderous roar as it aimed directly at Gu Zhan’s throat,

It was a young man with red hair,

Gu Zhan recognized him as a famous Celestial Pride from the Moon Worship Sect, nicknamed Young Master Blood, holding a high status and formidable strength, serving as the Young Banner Master of the Fire Element Banner within the sect’s Five Elements Banner.

Although the Celestial Pride List only documented Righteous Dao Celestial Prides, making his fame less than theirs, Young Master Blood’s strength was not to be underestimated, comparable to the second-tier of Righteous Dao Celestial Prides, with a cultivation level at the Fifth Realm Peak.

This spear attack was filled with deadly intent.

Gu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly and immediately bent his bow to set an arrow,

However, just as he was about to release the arrow,

He stumbled,

The Red Fire Dragon Steed he was riding suddenly let out a tragic cry, and its two front legs sank into the ground.

At that critical moment,

Gu Zhan fell backward, quickly landed on the ground,

While Young Master Blood’s spear relentlessly pursued, aiming straight for Gu Zhan’s face.

Gu Zhan immediately abandoned shooting and swung his long bow towards the approaching spear.

"Boom"

A loud noise reverberated as the spear was deflected,

But the bow in his hand broke.

In that instant, Young Master Blood repositioned his spear and thrust again, unleashing a terrifying spear aura, practically burning, aiming to pierce and kill Gu Zhan on the battlefield.

Gu Zhan discarded the broken bow, and swiftly drew the Jade Bone Saber from his back, slashing out,

A thunderous explosion occurred,

The terrifying shockwave split apart, directly severing the spear tip.

Young Master Blood was shocked and hurriedly retreated,

Gu Zhan let out a cold snort and swiftly pursued with his blade,

However, just as he moved, a quicksand vortex appeared beneath his feet, dragging them down with immense force.

At that moment, Gu Zhan realized that the earlier incident of his horse sinking into the ground was no coincidence, but rather a trick from someone underground. He immediately thrust his saber downward, unleashing Saber Qi from its tip, which transformed into a long saber shadow slashing underground.

Accompanied by a violent explosion,

A figure flew out from beneath the ground, short and plump, standing together with Young Master Blood, a comical duo akin to performing a crosstalk.

Another Demon Dao Celestial Pride, nicknamed Earth Unpredictable, serving as the Young Banner Master of the Earth Element Banner in the Moon Worship Sect’s Five Elements Banner.

Earth Unpredictable, seeing Gu Zhan looking disheveled, laughed loudly: "So this is Gu Zhan, the so-called God of Slaughter, praised to the heavens, yet he’s just so-so, hahaha! So this is what Righteous Dao Celestial Prides amount to, haha!"

At this moment, a cold laugh came from the sky: "Those who claim to be Righteous are all hypocrites. They boast about the slightest achievement as if unmatched in heaven and earth!"

An old man dressed in fiery red brocade descended from the sky, exuding intense, heated auras, gripping a long spear with its tip ablaze with raging flames.

Gu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly,

Before this war between Righteous and Demon Onhere Dao, he had done his homework, and while not entirely familiar with all Demon Dao experts, he could recognize most at a glance.

This elder holding the spear was none other than Young Master Blood’s master, the Fire Element Banner Master of the Moon Worship Sect, a well-known grandmaster for many years.

Upon the Fire Element Banner Master’s arrival, both Young Master Blood and Earth Unpredictable saluted him.

"Don’t waste time," the Fire Element Banner Master snorted coldly. "I thought he was someone extraordinary to dare strike at the Sect Leader, but it turns out he’s just a sensationalist clown. Kill!"
