Chapter 203: Hard Collision
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Separated by a single courtyard, Gu Zhicheng, w.a.n.g Shi, and others gathered in the front yard.
Watching the resounding impact on the battered gate, w.a.n.g Shi’s eyes held resentment. “This reckless girl truly knows no bounds. She actually dared to crash through the gate like this! Doesn’t she fear being reviled? Thankfully, the Old Master has advanced to the level of a Saint; otherwise, she might have trampled us underfoot.”
Gu Zhicheng’s face turned grim as he ordered, “Open the gate!”
Servants lifted the horizontal wooden block that had blocked the gate.
With a loud bang, the heavy gate was sent flying by a wooden beam.
Gu Zhicheng raised his hand and swept it towards the guard clutching the wooden beam.
The eight guards, along with the wooden beam, were uncontrollably thrown out.
Outside the gate, Gu Qingluan scoffed.
It seemed like they finally stop hiding.
With a casual wave of her hand, an invisible force caught the eight guards who had been thrown out.
The eight figures, who were rapidly retreating through the air, landed gently on the ground.
“Gu Qingluan, what do you mean by this?”
Gu Zhicheng strode out, followed by w.a.n.g Shi and the others.
In addition to the Gu family’s main lineage, there were also members from various branches of the Gu family and invited guards in attendance.
A quick glance revealed a crowd that outnumbered the people Gu Qingluan brought with her.
Clearly, they were well-prepared to deal with her.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingluan didn’t feel the slightest bit anxious. Instead, she smiled with a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt and remarked, “Could it be that the head of the Gu family has developed amnesia? Didn’t we discuss this matter just yesterday? Has it completely slipped from your memory?”
Gu Zhicheng exclaimed in anger, “The matter you’re talking about is clearly beyond anyone’s control! Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good relationship with Mr. Liu from the Island of No Return!”
The people around were curious about the “matter” they were discussing.
Gu Qingluan sighed softly. “Unscrupulous behavior knows no bounds. 1 shouldn’t have held any hopes for your integrity. 1 thought we could resolve this peacefully to avoid unnecessary conflicts and strained relationships. But since you all have no shame, there’s no need for me to cover up for you anymore.”
Hearing her words, Gu Zhicheng naturally felt his anger rise, but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease in his heart. He had a hunch that she was about to stir up trouble.
To his astonishment, she unexpectedly suggested, “Why don’t we just begin the fight right away?”
Gu Zhicheng blinked slightly, wondering if he had misheard.
The people around fell into silence and looked at her in astonishment.
Fight?
Was it the kind of fight they understood?
Gu Zhicheng was a Saint, what could she possibly use to fight against him? She didn’t really think she could defeat a Saint, did she?
Gu Zhicheng was the first to react, a scornful smile appearing on his grim face. “Fine! I’ll indulge you!”
Before he could even finish speaking, he had already launched into the air, vanishing from his initial position.
The onlookers’ pupils contracted.
That was fast!
As Gu Zhicheng vanished, their attention turned to Gu Qingluan.
Boom!
Gu Qingluan slowly raised her hand, and to everyone’s surprise, she accurately blocked Gu Zhicheng’s attack!
Was she out of her mind?
She actually confronted Gu Zhicheng’s powerful strike head-on!
Did she have such low regard for a Saint?
However, the gruesome scene everyone had imagined didn’t materialize.
Gu Qingluan’s body slightly leaned back, causing her horse to retreat two steps.
Gu Zhicheng, on the other hand, retreated four or five steps in a row.
The scene shocked the crowd.
Based on the situation, Gu Zhicheng was actually slightly inferior in skill to this girl?
How was that possible?
Gu Zhicheng was a Saint, after all!
Wasn’t Gu Qingluan just a Heavenly Realm Stage cultivator?
Could it be that Gu Zhicheng allowed her to do this?
Gu Zhicheng stomped the ground to steady himself, his expression gloomy, but inwardly he was astonished.
Only he knew that the hand he had just used was trembling uncontrollably!
In a direct confrontation, he had actually found himself slightly overpowered by this young woman!
What miraculous pill or elixir had Liu Meng given her to allow such a rapid increase in power within such a short period of time?
