48: Death of Gu Yan

"Why!"

Gu Yan was even more agitated than Bai Xin'er. Enduring the torment of purgatory, he immediately pressed for an answer.

Bai Xin'er stared at Chu Feng: "If my guess is correct, from the very beginning, you probably didn't discover Gu Yan's identity as a spirit weapon, did you?"

"So that's also why Gu Yan was able to keep growing."

Chu Feng looked at her with a smile, not answering.

Let alone at the beginning, he had never even cared what trump cards Gu Yan had.

If it weren't for his thoughts about the Eternal Gate, he wouldn't have accidentally discovered that this guy was actually a spirit weapon.

Bai Xin'er continued to analyze to herself: "I investigated, and when you revealed your true form and acted against Gu Yan, it was during that public display of power in Chongxuan Pavilion."

"The spirit weapon must have accidentally exposed something at that time, which you perceived."

"From that day on, you began to ruthlessly suppress him, torment him, yet you didn't kill him."

"The fundamental reason is that you want to control Gu Yan, this spirit weapon, to manipulate the Eternal Gate."

"This is also where I lost to you."

"If I had known Gu Yan's true nature earlier, you would have had no chance to obtain him."

When Gu Yan heard Bai Xin'er repeatedly call him a spirit weapon, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!

I have my own name!

White Heart's Child's pure and lovely side from before had always been her disguise.

No wonder she never let him touch a single one of her fingers. How could such an old monster, when disguised, allow him to take advantage of her!

He glared at Bai Xin'er and said coldly, "Get to the point! He knew I was a spirit weapon and decided to suppress and torment me? Why? Should a spirit weapon be bullied?"

Azure Ox Great Saint's bull eyes widened: "Don't interrupt. If you interrupt the Monarch again, I'll break your dog legs."

Gu Yan glared: "I'll call out! I'm already at this point, am I still afraid of you? If you have the guts, come and hit me! Damn it!"

Azure Ox Great Saint thought it made sense. This kid was now a barefoot man not afraid of a shoed one, so he grumbled, "You little bull, it's a waste that this Bull Grandfather gave you a seed. Truly unlucky."

Gu Yan: "..."

Bai Xin'er: "..."

"Stop arguing, you continue. Why do you think I didn't directly kill Gu Yan?"

Chu Feng poked Gu Yan into a wisp of smoke with one finger, also showing an interested expression.

To be fair, Bai Xin'er did have some tricks up her sleeve, quite skilled at battling wits with the air.

Bai Xin'er showed a confident expression, her cherry lips slightly parted: "Because you don't dare."

"No, it should be said that you can't bear to."

Chu Feng: ???

This guy? What can I not bear to do?

Chu Feng looked at the smoky, struggling, and painfully coalescing Gu Yan. The reason he didn't kill this guy was because this guy could drop gold coins.

He had already dropped a large number of destiny treasure boxes for him. They would explode with a touch, and each explosion would drop gold coins. It was an endless supply of wool to shear.

The key point was that he didn't know this guy was the spirit weapon of the Eternal Gate before. To get back his Eternal Gate, according to the Mother Talisman of All Things's insight, he had to drain Gu Yan's Destiny Value.

If this little fox hadn't just arrived, he would have wanted to see if he could still squeeze something out of Gu Yan before he died. Now, this Gu Yan was swimming around looking for his mother.

Are the thought processes of foxes different from ordinary people?

She actually said I couldn't bear to kill him???

Seeing Chu Feng's surprised expression, Bai Xin'er smiled faintly and waved her fair, tender hand: "You suppressed Gu Yan, humiliated Gu Yan, in order to suppress his Luck."

"A spirit weapon born from a source treasure has boundless Luck, free from disaster."

"If you don't suppress his Luck, the spirit weapon simply cannot be subdued."

"So you made him turn against Chongxuan Pavilion, made him friendless, made him an enemy of the world, lose all his Opportunities. When his Luck declines to a certain point, subduing him becomes much easier."

"It's laughable to say, but if I hadn't secretly laid out my plans, perhaps you would have had to torment this spirit weapon for a while longer before you could subdue him."

"But it just so happened that I planned to damage the Xuan Realm's Origin by breaking the Demon Subduing Magic Array, forcing the source treasure to come out and save the world, hoping to take the Opportunity to subdue this treasure."

"However, I didn't expect that the source treasure of this Xuan Realm had already given birth to a spirit weapon with intelligence. One wrong step, and every step thereafter was wrong."

Bai Xin'er looked regretfully at the small bronze gate in Chu Feng's hand, her peach blossom eyes glistening, three parts bitter, seven parts regret.

She had planned for a hundred years, but she didn't expect that one misstep would allow Chu Feng to seize the initiative.

In this round, Chu Feng was on a higher level.

The smoky Gu Yan, relying on his steel-like will, barely reformed again. He was in extreme pain: "So that's how it is."

"Is all of this because I am a spirit weapon?"

Azure Ox Great Saint nodded: "That's right, consider yourself unlucky, kid."

Chu Feng also couldn't help but nod: "Your analysis makes some sense."

He wasn't flattering her. Although many things Bai Xin'er said were inaccurate, she couldn't have known that he had a System.

Based on the concept of Luck and spirit weapons, it could be explained.

This woman was much smarter than he had imagined.

"Hehe."

Bai Xin'er smiled charmingly when she heard Chu Feng's words, seemingly a little smug.

Chu Feng asked again: "Then why do you think I can't bear to kill Gu Yan?"

Bai Xin'er retorted: "What do you think?"

"A source treasure is an existence on the level of an extreme dao emperor weapon."

"Without becoming a Great Emperor, who is qualified to use an extreme dao emperor weapon? Each use requires a price."

She said as a matter of course: "Once a spirit weapon is born within an extreme dao emperor weapon, how rare is that? It requires seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, relying on Opportunity and Luck."

"I don't know if you are a Great Saint or a Saint King. With Gu Yan, this spirit weapon, helping you, the cost of each use of the Eternal Gate will be much smaller."

"This is a treasure, do you really bear to kill him?"

Bai Xin'er's eyes were bright, and because of her confidence, her tender, flawless face was radiant with a bright spring glow.

Azure Ox Great Saint immediately chimed in: "Monarch is awesome! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't bear to kill him!"

He didn't understand why Bai Xin'er and this Human Race Great Saint were talking so much nonsense here. He kept winking at Bai Xin'er, signaling that the Monarch could act and snatch it at any time.

Chu Feng suddenly realized, so that's how it was.

He glanced at Gu Yan, "What you said makes so much sense."

Gu Yan also understood at this point. His heart immediately lightened, and he sneered: "Hehe, so that's how it is."

"Chu Feng, there's a blood feud between us. There's no way you can order me around. I advise you to give up on that idea."

He said to Chu Feng without hesitation.

Chu Feng shook his head, revealing a playful smile: "Little fox, what you said does make some sense."

"However, you guessed wrong."

Little fox???

You called me a little fox??

Bai Xin'er was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Feng in disbelief.

Calling her 'little sister' or 'shorty' before was one thing, but now he was calling her a 'little fox.'

Are you polite??

She was very angry, but she was confident in her deduction: "It's impossible to guess wrong."

Chu Feng waved his hand at her: "There's no such thing as Luck or no Luck."

"I didn't even know he was some spirit weapon."

His mouth suddenly split into a smile, revealing a Zhang Zifeng-like grin to Bai Xin'er: "I, you see, am actually just someone with a bad personality, narrow-minded, and who enjoys tormenting people."

"Gu Yan provoked me, so I targeted him, pushed him to a dead end, making him unable to live or die."

"He's a spirit weapon, it's just a coincidence that he ran into me. I don't care at all if he can help me."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. His mentality had already collapsed, but now you've given him a little hope of life."

"Look, if I kill Gu Yan now, will he hate you or me when he dies?"

The words fell.

Under the shocked gazes of Azure Ox Great Saint and Bai Xin'er, Chu Feng's palm grasped Gu Yan. Golden light shone brightly, and infinite pressure covered the bewildered Gu Yan.

The Eternal Gate trembled madly, continuously transmitting power, but it was all cut off by an unknown force.

Golden flames burned like dazzling fireworks.

Gu Yan, fell.

A series of System prompts sounded in Chu Feng's ear.
