#156 - Defeat Song Xiu in person
#156 - Defeat Song Xiu in person
A small square.
Gu An wasn't surprised.
Someone as weak, old, and with damaged foundations as himself was bound to be unwanted.
Normally, disciples under instruction cannot be easily removed.
But this time, there was a reason.
After all, he was accused of corruption.
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of moral failing.
Thus, on the surface, it was justifiable.
Of course, if Gu An wanted to refuse, he actually could.
The annual Grand Competition wouldn't exist if people could be easily removed.
His situation was indeed an exception.
Not only was there an extra person, but also someone with problems.
Therefore, the removal didn't seem out of place.
The numbers were the same, which was normal.
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Gu An didn't hesitate. Instead, he handed over the token, returning it to the other party:
"Thank you, Senior Brother. In that case, I will withdraw from Senior Brother's team. These are the lumbering tokens for Senior Brother and the other junior brothers and sisters."
Taking back the token, Senior Brother Ye returned the tokens to the others, then held Gu An's token and said, "In that case,
I will destroy it. Do you have any objections?"
"No," Gu An shook his head.
Afterward, Senior Brother Ye looked at the people from the other team and said, "Everyone, please be a witness."
The leading Senior Sister on that side nodded.
Indicating that they could be a witness.
"Such a morally corrupt person disgraces us. There is indeed no need to keep him," the Senior Sister said.
Hearing this, Senior Brother Ye snapped the token in two with a 'crack' sound.
This way, even if the higher-ups paid attention, they wouldn't need to guide the person before them anymore.
Although there would be one less person to do the lumbering work, it was taking up a spot, which would lower his earnings.
So, overall, it was still a gain.
"It's good that Junior Brother is respected in the Spirit Treasure Repository. I hope Junior Brother can always be like this," Senior Brother Ye said gently.
Gu An nodded: "Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother."
Saying that, Gu An added: "Since there is nothing else, then I will go back first."
Senior Brother Ye chuckled: "Please, Junior Brother."
Gu An didn't say anything more. Since the other party had said so, he would leave as soon as possible.
But as he walked away, he heard some voices.
"He seems quite proud of himself, unaware that he is about to face a great disaster."
"Yes, living in his own world, completely unaware of what kind of situation he will encounter."
"It's bad enough that he's weak, and old, and to top it off, he has no self-awareness."
Their voices were not soft; they were deliberately meant to be heard.
Gu An ignored them.
And continued to leave.
But just as he took a few steps, Song Xiu walked up.
Gu An sighed inwardly. What was coming, had come.
"Senior Brother," she said with a worried look. "Senior Brother, your situation is not good right now. Let's talk aside."
Gu An looked at her and nodded: "Okay."
Then they came to a more secluded place.
The so-called 'aside' was only a step or two away.
Their position was still within everyone's sight, just at an angle where almost only Gu An's back could be seen.
"Senior Brother, do you know what you are about to face this time?" Song Xiu asked, looking at Gu An.
"Face what?" Gu An asked back.
"Senior Brother, come closer," Song Xiu said softly.
Hearing this, Gu An leaned over.
But just as he got close, Song Xiu screamed, pushing him away.
Then, she clutched her chest in horror and shouted loudly:
"Senior Brother, stop! Men and women should not touch!"
"Help!"
After shouting, she looked at Gu An and said with a low, cold laugh, "Old man, you are doomed."
Seeing this, Gu An chuckled: "Junior Sister is truly ruthless, but it's a pity."
Gu An took a step forward, coming directly in front of her, then grabbed her shoulder with one hand:
"Junior Sister's good days are over."
Then, in her stunned gaze, he gently pinched.
Crack!
Bang!
Song Xiu watched in horror as blood spurted from her arm, and then her entire arm shattered on the spot.
Intense pain struck.
"Ah!"
She screamed, trying to break free from Gu An.
"Save me, save me!"
She struggled and screamed in horror.
Originally, she thought she could frame Gu An, then have him punished, and then make him kneel.
Finally, she would make him never be able to lift his head again.
That would be her great victory.
She never expected this outcome.
She never dreamed that Gu An would take the opportunity to suddenly strike, and with such thunderous means.
How dare he?
Senior Brother Ye and the others were still watching not far away.
"Impudent!" Senior Brother Ye launched an attack.
Gu An didn't hesitate at all, using Song Xiu as a shield.
Bang!
The attack directly shattered Song Xiu's other arm.
Fresh blood splattered on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu An grabbed Song Xiu's head, dragged her body, and looked at Senior Brother Ye: "Senior Brother is so cruel,
Almost killed such a beautiful Junior Sister."
"You, you are bold!" Senior Brother Ye was furious.
He didn't expect that Gu An could actually react and use her as a shield.
"Senior Brother can completely go to the Law Enforcement Hall and see if it was you or me who hurt her," Gu An said casually, looking at him.
"Do you think the Law Enforcement Hall won't care?" Senior Brother Ye said coldly.
"Save, save me ~" Song Xiu said weakly.
Gu An looked down at her, casually threw her to the ground, and then stepped on her.
Imbued with the Five Viscera Congenital Strength, just so they could see.
Bang!
The ground cracked.
Song Xiu's head was broken and blood flowed out.
Although not dead, but...
Not much better.
"You have quite the guts," Senior Brother Ye said with an iron face, about to kill the person before him, especially after seeing his body refinement strength, which surprised him even more.
"Is Senior Brother sure he can kill me in one blow?" Gu An asked, looking at the person before him:
"If you don't kill me and I bring the Law Enforcement Hall, what do you think will happen, Senior Brother?"
"What a joke? Isn't that what you deserve?" Senior Brother Ye sneered.
Gu An shook his head slightly: "That's not the case. Senior Brother has to understand one thing. My life is short, this is what Thousand Dust Peak has decided.
If the Law Enforcement Hall intervenes, then Thousand Dust Peak's knife will become the Law Enforcement Hall's knife.
Do you think the people above Thousand Dust Peak will blame me, or blame you?"
In an instant, Senior Brother Ye was stunned.
What does it mean to have nothing to lose?
This is it.
Then, Gu An looked at the others:
"How many people spoke just now?
Let me count."
Then Gu An counted the four people in the other team and said, "I just dropped some spirit stones. Did any of you junior brothers pick them up?"
"Junior Brother, what do your affairs have to do with us?" The Senior Sister said coldly.
The others were a little flustered for a moment.
Gu An crippled Song Xiu in a few strokes.
They were not much stronger than Song Xiu.
What if they fought?
It would be over.
"What Senior Sister said makes sense. But Senior Sister can protect them for a while, but can you protect them for a few months?" Gu An looked at her.
The Senior Sister's face was icy cold: "Are you not afraid that I will make trouble for you afterward?"
"Why would Senior Sister say such a thing? Do I even have an 'afterward'? I'm afraid everyone knows that I only have funeral arrangements left," Gu An looked at the others indifferently: "So, did any of you pick up my spirit stones?"
In an instant, the Senior Sister was speechless.
The few who spoke earlier regretted it a little, and were also a little afraid.
In the end, they lowered their heads and humiliatingly handed over ten spirit stones.
With that, Gu An said thank you and turned to leave.
This time, he was actually gambling, gambling that they were in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
It seemed that was indeed the case.
Otherwise, the Five Viscera Congenital Strength he displayed would definitely not be able to shock them.
With his strength, he could only challenge those in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
To put it nicely, it was a challenge, to put it bluntly, it was just having the capital to escape.
So, as long as he didn't die, and then killed someone to bring the Law Enforcement Hall, then the water would be completely muddied.
Completely beyond Thousand Dust Peak's expectations.
Senior Brother Ye was afraid, and Gu An was also afraid.
Because he couldn't afford such consequences either.
It would be better to defect from the sect.
But things would definitely not be good afterward, the price of taking action.
