Above all spirits

Chapter 204 Are the earthquake-resistant measures adequate?

"Without a doubt, you are a very uncontrollable factor for me."

"It might even surpass Han Tian."

"Moreover, I have never seen a demon who could be one of the candidates for the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will."

"Well... not entirely."

"I have also heard of the art of gods and demons incarnating, all for the same purpose: to fulfill the imperial will of the lower realm."

"But this is indeed the first time I've met you."

"However, it's fortunate that you were able to come to my little imperial city as I expected."

"Otherwise, I'll really have to put in a lot of effort."

"I am determined to win the Emperor's will."

"And you, Your Excellency the Demon Envoy, please return to your Upper Realm."

Faced with these somewhat arrogant words, which seemed to have already sealed the fate of the matter, Gu Yun remained unmoved.

Just quietly feel it.

They wanted to find the source of these sounds.

But it always seems to be shrouded in a fog, making it impossible to trace its origins.

The seventy-two flying swords that had shattered and vanished before their eyes began to coalesce once more.

However, unlike before.

This time, they are not white.

The thick blood mist that lingered around from the explosion seemed to be drawn by some force.

It slowly surged towards these flying swords.

Like iron filings attracted by a magnet, it continuously seeps into each flying sword.

As more and more blood mist merged into it, the color of the flying sword gradually changed.

Many of the flying swords had been stained with a bright, blood-red color, as if they were wearing a scarlet coat, radiating a chilling light.

This amplification actually temporarily boosted the flying sword's power to the peak of the Holy Body!

Gu Yun began to realize the importance of the venue's advantages.

Whether it's the Heavenly Fire Glazed Array or not.

This flying sword formation is fine too.

These are all techniques that allow one to kill enemies by using external forces.

It does not require expending one's own strength or soul power.

Perhaps even if the formation before me were to be improved, it would still be unable to harm me.

But strength eventually comes to an end.

Gu Yun was no exception.

The other party wanted to exhaust his physical strength.

Having learned the cause and effect, Gu Yun naturally wouldn't be a fool and just watch the formation solidify.

If we wait until all seventy-two flying swords, each possessing the power of a peak Saint Body strike, are focused, the array they form will surely be able to slay a pseudo-Innate being.

The pseudo-innate might not be so absolute, but a half-step innate is definitely a death sentence.

Gu Yun didn't understand formations and couldn't find any key points in the formation, so he could only break through by brute force.

For Gu Yun, it would indeed take a lot of effort to forcefully break through this established formation.

Suddenly.

Soul power began to surge and churn within Gu Yun's body like a tide, clearly indicating that he had entered a state of preparation for battle.

At the same time, the power of the stars manifested like countless stars, gathering around him.

The next moment.

A gigantic golden hand materialized once more in mid-air, and the surrounding space began to tremble uncontrollably.

One thousand star coins for a single Star Picker!

A terrifying pressure, like a hurricane, swept across the entire imperial city.

The people who had been hiding in the palace all raised their heads and looked through the doors and windows in horror at the countless blood-red flying swords and golden giant hands in the sky above the imperial city.

Fear is hidden deep in the pupils of almost everyone.

Some people, amidst their fear, also felt somewhat bewildered and at a loss, clearly not fully understanding the complex situation currently unfolding on Canglan Star.

Most of the people living in the imperial city do not actually have a high life rank. They are mostly ordinary palace maids and guards. Even the Imperial Guards, who are at a higher level, are only at the Overlord level.

These people have no access to the core information. In their eyes, it may just be that the Heavenly Demon Clan attacked the entire Canglan Empire, but they know nothing about why they attacked or who ordered it.

They were so unaware that they were in a den of demons.

It can be said that they were completely innocent victims in this power struggle.

This is why Gu Yun never chose to completely raze the imperial city to the ground and expose the old fox behind it.

The power of the Star Moon Demon makes destroying a city incredibly easy.

But his heart was still bound by human nature.

Wan Wujiang took advantage of this, although he was also completely baffled by it. He couldn't understand why Gu Yun, a demon, would care so much.

However, as long as you care, you can take advantage of it; the reason is sometimes not that important.

Gu Yun was neither bothered by it nor held a grudge.

People can be good or evil, and one should never kill the innocent unless absolutely necessary.

This is the bare minimum he sets for himself; if he were to break it one day, it would prove that the last shred of his humanity had been extinguished.

The giant golden hand rushed towards the flying sword with overwhelming force, leaving spatial rifts everywhere it passed.

The flying swords, now completely stained with blood, quickly dispersed, attempting to evade the giant golden hand.

It seems like someone is manipulating things behind the scenes.

The unfinished product, which was gradually changing, was not so flexible. Although it moved a little distance in all directions, it could hardly escape the attack range of the golden giant hand.

The two come into contact.

Several flying swords were crushed and shattered in an instant, as if they were folded from paper.

It turned into specks of fluorescent light and dissipated again, along with the blood mist that it had inhaled.

finally.

Of the seventy-two flying swords, only forty or so charged back at Gu Yun.

The remaining flying swords were all destroyed by the Star-Picking Hand.

Due to the unequal power and the large gap in strength, no energy explosion or spatial shattering occurred.

The Star-Picking Hand still retained a considerable amount of power at this moment.

Seeing the red sword shadow rushing towards him, Gu Yun frowned slightly, feeling reluctant to dispel his power: Star-Picking Hand.

That's a thousand star coins! It would be such a waste to spend them before they're even used up!

However, he could not ignore the more than forty attacks from peak Saint Body level cultivators.

Where exactly is Wan Wujiang?

Or rather, where something might affect Wan Wujiang, forcing him to reveal himself.

Canglan Palace can definitely be ruled out.

Too obvious.

The quarters for palace maids and servants would certainly not be provided in such a lowly manner.

It's unlikely that any building that's publicly visible would be a viable option for Wan Wujiang.

As for underground…

underground…

A smile immediately appeared on Gu Yun's lips.

Wan Wujiang, if the tortoise is truly underground, are your earthquake-resistant measures in place?

With protective arrays and city-protecting formations in place year-round, have you ever thought about what to do if an earthquake strikes one day?

Considering not to harm too many innocent people.

Gu Yun did not choose to slam directly onto the ground, as the damage from such an impact would be difficult to predict.

Instead, it controlled the giant golden hand to swoop down towards the pond inside the imperial city.

In this way, the powerful aftershocks from the final explosion of the Star-Picking Hand will have a far greater impact on underground buildings than on above-ground buildings.

When the time comes, we only need to look at the location of the collapse, and it won't be difficult to find the old tortoise.
