Chapter 18 Soul Burial Pearl
Gu Yan's gaze immediately fell on those people.
His gaze suddenly turned cold.
Because these seven people are all members of the Zhao family!
They were all at the Dou Shi level.
Gu Yan knew a lot about the Zhao family.
He had seen these people's portraits many times.
One seven-star Dou Shi, two six-star Dou Shi, three four-star Dou Shi, and one two-star Dou Shi.
What are these people doing outside Gulang City?
Those people also noticed Gu Yan, and their expressions froze slightly before they all revealed sinister smiles.
"Zhao Dezhu, this kid is Gu Tianyao's son. I'm going to capture him." The two-star Dou Shi said to the seven-star Dou Shi in front of him, and then rushed towards Gu Yan.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Gu Tianyao's son here. How wonderful!
By capturing Gu Yan, they could blackmail Gu Tianyao, giving the Zhao family another bargaining chip.
"You didn't stay at the Gu family manor, but ran outside in the middle of the night. It's like you chose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven!" Thinking of his son's broken arm by Gu Tianyao, a murderous glint flashed in Zhao Deyuan's eyes.
Seeing Zhao Deyuan approaching, Gu Yan pretended to be panicked and took a few steps back, but in his heart he was sneering.
From this day forward, there is no need to hide our strength anymore.
Zhao Dezhu and the others watched Gu Yan from afar, their faces showing a mocking expression.
They all knew that Gu Tianyao's son had extremely poor talent; he was already fifteen years old and still only at the third stage of Dou Qi.
For Zhao Deyuan, a mere two-star Dou Shi, to capture him is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Deyuan was already in front of Gu Yan, his face contorted with malice as he sneered, "Kid, want to experience what it's like to have a bone broken?"
As he spoke, he channeled his battle qi and reached straight for Gu Yan's arm.
Seeing Gu Yan's terrified expression, Zhao Dezhu and the others were even more convinced that this kid posed no threat at all.
Capturing Gu Yan and bringing him back would be a great achievement!
Just as Zhao Deyuan's hand was about to touch Gu Yan's arm.
The Zhao family members present all felt that Gu Yan's arm was about to be broken in the next moment.
A confident yet cruel smile appeared on Zhao Deyuan's face as well.
Just then, Gu Yan suddenly looked up, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Zhao Deyuan was startled. Could it be that this kid's appearance here was part of the Gu family's conspiracy?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw Gu Yan easily dodge his attack by turning his body to the side.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yan casually threw a punch, which landed hard on Zhao Deyuan's chest.
"puff!"
Zhao Deyuan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
Gu Yan did not use any fighting techniques with this punch; he relied solely on his own cultivation level and held nothing back.
He is not a soft-hearted person.
Zhao Deyuan crashed heavily to the ground and died instantly!
"What?! How is this possible?"
The remaining six members of the Zhao family were stunned, their eyes wide open.
What exactly happened?
However, they didn't have time to think it through; Gu Yan had no intention of giving them that chance.
The moment Xiao Lin jumped off Gu Yan's shoulder, black and gold light flashed beneath Gu Yan's feet, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the three four-star Dou Shi.
He raised both fists, each topped with a rapidly running, purplish-gold energy lion. The furious roars of the lions echoed in the ears of the three, causing them to be greatly alarmed.
"The Roar of the Mad Lion!"
The energy lion on both fists suddenly swelled in size and crashed into the three people. The powerful force sent the three people flying, spitting blood in mid-air. Before they even hit the ground, they were already three corpses.
Before the two six-star Dou Shi could react, black and gold light flashed beneath Gu Yan's feet, and he instantly appeared in front of them, raising his hand to form a claw, with black flames swirling around it.
"Soul Flame Claw!"
It pierced the chests of the two men, causing their hearts to burst instantly.
This is one of the fighting techniques that Hun Xuzi left for Gu Yan, and it is ranked as a high-level Xuan-rank technique.
Zhao Dezhu was shocked to see Gu Yan kill six members of his Zhao family in an instant, because he knew he was simply incapable of doing it.
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran.
Gu Yan's lips curved slightly, and black and gold light flashed beneath his feet as he quickly closed the distance between the two.
Sensing the approaching figure behind him, Zhao Dezhu quickly called out, "Gu Yan, always leave yourself an out. I'll plead with the clan leader on behalf of your Gu family when we get back!"
But a cold glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes as he smiled and said, "Don't worry, they'll be down there to keep you company soon."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhao Dezhu gritted his teeth, turned around, and unleashed the Zhao family's strongest fighting technique.
"Seven Deadly Fists!"
This is a mid-level Xuan-rank combat skill.
Seeing Zhao Dezhu attack first, Gu Yan also raised his hand, clenched his fist, and unleashed another fighting technique given to him by Hun Xuzi.
"Mysterious Nether Fist!"
The low-level Earth Rank combat skill is known for its offensive power and has nine layers of hidden force. When mastered, it is comparable to the mid-level Earth Rank combat skill!
Gu Yan had only just learned it, but he was already able to unleash three layers of hidden power.
The next instant, their fists collided.
"Thump!"
Without any suspense, Zhao Dezhu's arm shattered inch by inch as Gu Yan's punch landed directly on his chest.
Even on his deathbed, Zhao Dezhu's face was filled with fear and disbelief.
Looking at the seven corpses on the ground, Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
After years of silence, their first move yielded such results; it can only be attributed to the seven individuals' bad luck.
With a soft exhale, Gu Yan took out a jet-black bead from his storage ring, which was just the right size to hold in his palm.
This is the Soul Burial Pearl, which Soul Void left for Gu Yan to cultivate a fighting technique.
Soul Refining Technique, a high-level Earth-rank combat skill!
Reciting the incantation and forming a hand seal, seven extremely illusory souls floated out from the seven corpses and were absorbed into the Soul Burial Pearl.
After taking the storage rings and some other items from the seven people, Gu Yan looked at Xiao Lin, who was watching the battle not far away.
Xiao Lin leaped onto Gu Yan's shoulder.
Gu Yan smiled and then leaped away.
Half an hour later, six figures swept in from a distance. Upon seeing the corpses of Zhao Dezhu, Zhao Deyuan, and the others, they were all filled with rage.
Could it be that Gu Tianyao or Gu Tianyang personally killed them?
Judging from the injuries of the seven people, it must have been a Grand Master who made the move!
The group exchanged glances, nodded grimly, and, carrying the seven corpses, leaped towards the direction of Chaotic Star City.
At this moment, Gu Yan had already returned to his room.
Looking through the seven people's storage rings, there were only some gold coins and clothes, nothing of importance.
However, just as Gu Yan was shaking his head in disappointment, he suddenly discovered a tattered piece of paper in Zhao Dezhu's storage ring.
After examining it closely for a while, Gu Yan realized that it seemed to be a fragment of a painting.
Unfortunately, there were no markings on it.
Therefore, Gu Yan didn't know what this fragment of a map was.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yan put the incomplete map into his storage ring.
It doesn't take up much space anyway, so I'll just keep it.
After resting for a while and adjusting himself to his peak condition, Gu Yan took a deep breath and took out an ancient scroll with trembling hands.
It is the "Immortal and Indestructible Golden Body of the Emperor"!
