Chapter 2 A mortal body is ultimately just a mortal body, nothing more than a clay chicken or a clay
Hearing Mo Liqing's question.
Gu Xuan did not answer immediately.
Instead, he slowly raised his head and calmly looked at the young white-robed general who was showing off his power in front of the battle.
With the blessing of the origin of the "Hundred Lifetimes True Spirit Diagram" in his sea of consciousness, he could clearly see a terrifying calamity aura, so dense it was almost black, hovering above Huang Tianxiang's head!
Huang Tianxiang...
The Investiture of the Gods lists a god's name, who is ranked among the Heavenly Stars and is the head of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
A truly destined person!
A subtle glint flashed deep within Gu Xuan's eyes.
Then, he forcibly suppressed the bloodlust in his heart and spoke calmly.
"His luck is astonishing, and his destiny is extraordinary."
"If we let him grow up unchecked, this little brat will surely become a major threat to the great merchants in the future."
This statement came out.
The surrounding Shang army generals frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Xuan's attempt to boost others' morale.
"But now..."
Gu Xuan paused for a moment, then said indifferently.
"A mortal body is, after all, just a mortal body."
Hearing this evaluation.
Mo Liqing's eyes were filled with a deep smile.
He looked down at Gu Xuan and asked in a rather mocking tone.
"Mortal?"
"Do you know...?"
"This kid once killed Feng Lin with a single spear thrust, and he also fought General Zhang Guifang head-on for thirty rounds without being defeated?"
"Now, with the added aura of military formation, their strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary celestial being?"
With each word Mo Liqing spoke, the expressions of the surrounding Shang army generals grew more solemn.
He killed several of Da Shang's fierce generals and faced General Zhang Guifang head-on.
Such a record is enough to make any cultivator at the Celestial Immortal level wary!
Upon closer reflection...
Even if they successfully volunteer and go up to fight, how many rounds can they last?
In an instant, the crowd, who had been filled with righteous indignation and eager to fight, calmed down.
Then they all turned to look at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan lowered his eyelids slightly and calmly uttered six words.
"They're nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs."
boom!
The moment those six words were uttered, the surrounding air seemed to freeze!
mad!
That's insane!
Even Zhang Guifang couldn't handle this peerless genius, yet Gu Xuan described him as nothing more than a chicken or a dog?!
Upon hearing this...
Mo Liqing was taken aback at first.
Then his mouth split into a wide grin, revealing an incredibly ferocious and satisfied laugh, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration!
He loved Gu Xuan's arrogance that was ingrained in his bones!
"good!"
"What a pathetic sight!"
Mo Liqing swung his hand violently, the sound like muffled thunder.
"Gu Xuan, heed my command!"
"Your subordinate is here."
"Go! Twist this kid's head off!"
"Your humble servant obeys."
Gu Xuan's expression was cold and stern; he did not reach for his mount.
His body, blessed with the "remnants of the Nine Li blood," had already reached an astonishing level of bone density and muscle mass!
Ordinary warhorses couldn't even withstand the explosive power of his single charge.
Gu Xuan slowly drew the Xuan Tie Blood Blade, weighing over a thousand pounds, from his waist.
The tip of the blood-stained blade pointed diagonally at the ground.
He walked slowly and steadily toward Huang Tianxiang.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
He walked very slowly.
But with each step, a footprint several inches deep, with edges as if it had been pounded by a heavy hammer, is left on the ground.
There was no deliberate release of any magical power or pressure.
But the terrifying sense of oppression, like a ferocious humanoid beast approaching, spread silently like a tide.
……
On the battlefield between the two armies.
Huang Tianxiang immediately drew his spear and coldly stared at the black-armored infantryman who was walking towards him with a sword.
Although they are a hundred paces apart.
But the subtle yet palpable sense of oppression from the other party, the footprints that went several inches deep...
All of this indicates that the other party is no ordinary person!
only--
How dare a mere foot soldier come to challenge me?
Huang Tianxiang gave a cold laugh.
Against cavalry, a heavily armored infantryman without even a mount is nothing more than a living sandbag.
How much do they despise themselves!
"Truly outrageous merchants!"
Huang Tianxiang laughed in anger, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"The entire army's generals have become cowards, actually sending a mere infantryman like you to your death!!"
Huang Tianxiang gave a low shout.
He pushed the body's Qi and blood to their peak.
The endless baleful aura of the Xiqi army behind him frantically converged on his body.
In the blink of an eye, his aura and power reached the Celestial Immortal realm!
Huang Tianxiang looked coldly at Gu Xuan, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Then, he suddenly squeezed his legs against the horse's belly.
The white horse let out a long neigh and galloped off like an arrow released from a bow.
The horse's hooves kicked up clouds of dust, and the twelve-foot-long gleaming silver spear in his hand transformed into a deadly silver venomous dragon, tearing through the air ahead and emitting a piercing sonic boom.
The tip of the spear....
It was aimed straight at Gu Xuan's throat!
Thirty steps!
Ten steps!
Three steps!
A flash of cold light!
however……
Faced with this earth-shattering, deadly shot, Gu Xuan's steps did not falter for a moment, nor did he even blink.
No refunds!
Don’t flash!
Don't avoid it!
Until the spear tip, gleaming with a chilling light, was less than half a foot from his throat, and the force of the wind was already scraping his neck, causing a dull ache.
Gu Xuan...
Moved.
He slowly raised his left hand and casually reached forward to make a light grab.
"Bang--!"
The deafening clang of metal clashing echoed through the sky.
Gu Xuan's palms were as hard as iron as he precisely caught the spear thrusting at high speed, sending sparks flying.
The terrifying kinetic energy had nowhere to go, creating a layer of visible transparent ripples in the air. The violent sound waves spread in all directions, instantly swirling the sand beneath their feet into the air.
A large pit appeared beneath Gu Xuan's feet.
But his left hand, holding the gun, remained as steady as a mountain, completely still.
"this……"
"How is that possible?!"
Huang Tianxiang suddenly stopped, taking advantage of the momentum of the horse's forward charge.
His expression changed drastically as he looked at the long, fair hand at the tip of the spear, which wasn't even wearing an arm guard.
This shot, imbued with all his vital energy and enhanced by the killing intent of the military formation, was a sure-kill strike...
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was a strike from a Celestial Immortal at the peak of perfection!
Even Zhang Guifang had to temporarily avoid the brunt of this shot!
But now, a mere foot soldier has so easily stopped him in mid-air with just a single palm!
"This guy..."
"What kind of monster is that?!"
However, Huang Tianxiang was a veteran of countless battles.
He forcefully suppressed his fear and frantically circulated his internal energy.
"Give me--"
"open!!"
Huang Tianxiang's arms bulged with veins as he tried to pull the spear back from his opponent's hand.
The gun barrel trembled violently in his hand, making a buzzing sound.
But the opponent's seemingly slender hands were as solid as five mountains, and no matter how hard he tried, the spear could not budge an inch!
"How could this be...?"
Huang Tianxiang's face was extremely grim.
He gritted his teeth, his blood boiling.
The muscles in his arms swelled, and the blood vessels twisted and bulged like earthworms.
"Give me……"
"Move!!"
however--
The gun barrel remained completely still.
It's as if it's taken root in the other party's hands, welded to their grasp!
"Not bad."
Gu Xuan slowly raised his head, his eyes calmly looking at the horrified young man on horseback.
"pity......"
"Too light."
The moment the words fell.
Gu Xuan's body was filled with the surging and tumultuous blood of the Jiuli tribe, and streams of divine power with the strength to move mountains emerged.
Then, the five fingers suddenly exerted force and closed together.
"Snap—!"
A very crisp sound rang out.
The gleaming silver spear, which had drunk the blood of countless fierce generals, suddenly snapped at Gu Xuan's fingertips.
An incomprehensible, terrifying pulling force surged upwards along the broken gun barrel.
The warhorse let out a mournful neigh, its forelegs snapping instantly under the immense recoil, and it collapsed to its knees.
The spear broke, and the murderous aura of the military formation rebounded, causing Huang Tianxiang's internal energy and blood to become chaotic.
Then...
He was like a leaf in a storm, flying off the horse's back, armor and all.
It fell towards Gu Xuan!
Gu Xuan slightly raised his right hand, the Xuan Tie Blood Blade.
The blade reflected the boy's terrified eyes.
