674: Seize the clock!

"Good, good, good!"

When Xiao Gu saw Lin Yang's state, he uttered three "good"s in a row, the cold light in his eyes solidifying: "Then let's settle all old and new grievances today!"

Buzz.

As he spoke, Xiao Gu brazenly attacked.

Violent Dao power fluctuations swept towards Lin Yang, also pressing down on the people in the city below, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Some with weaker cultivation directly spat blood.

Lin Yang's eyes turned cold: "Why involve others in our feud? Let's fight outside the city!"

As he finished speaking, Lin Yang struck out with a palm, shaking off the power Xiao Gu swept downwards, and flew out of the city.

"Hmph, you'd better not be thinking of escaping!" Xiao Gu snorted coldly and chased after him.

It wasn't until Your Excellency Lin Yang led a dozen Dao Tribulation Realm experts from Chu Country out of the city that everyone inside the city collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing Your Excellency Lin Yang is merciful. If they really fought in the city, in such a major battle, just a ripple of power sweeping down would likely kill who knows how many of us countless times over."

Someone patted his chest with lingering fear, his words full of relief and gratitude.

Everyone else also agreed.

For ordinary cultivators like them, a battle between Dao Tribulation Realm experts was a catastrophe.

Even if it wasn't deliberately aimed at them, they could hardly withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

"I hope Your Excellency Lin Yang can be safe!"

Someone also offered blessings and prayers for Lin Yang... Outside the city.

Lin Yang stood in the air, no longer having any reservations, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Xiao Gu and the group of Dao Tribulation Realm experts from Chu Country who were chasing him.

He was just worried about not having an opportunity to kill a few Dao Tribulation Realm experts from Chu Country, and these guys showed up at his door.

Very good!

"Lin Yang, die!"

Xiao Gu stopped talking nonsense and attacked directly.

The others, however, had no intention of acting.

Clearly, they believed that Xiao Gu alone was enough to suppress and kill Lin Yang.

Moreover, although Chu Country acted domineeringly, having a dozen people besiege one person would inevitably make Chu Country a laughingstock.

Therefore, only Xiao Gu made a move, while the others merely stood in different directions to prevent Lin Yang from escaping.

In the field, Lin Yang and Xiao Gu were already fighting.

The vast Dao power surged, causing the space at the center where they were located to collapse in a small area.

The residual power alone was enough to kill any ordinary Dao Tribulation Realm expert.

This surprised everyone again.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang should have only recently broken through to the Dao Tribulation Realm, right? How is his power not weaker than that of veteran Dao Tribulation Realm experts like Xiao Gu?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Gu and the people from Chu Country were also secretly startled.

Especially Xiao Gu, he had thought he could easily take down Lin Yang, but he never expected that Lin Yang could fight him to a standstill!

"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. To have such strength right after breaking through, you are indeed a person of note, but this is as far as you go!"

Then, Xiao Gu spoke.

Lin Yang's strength was indeed unexpectedly strong, but this only intensified his resolve that Lin Yang could not be allowed to live.

Immediately after breaking through, his combat power was comparable to that of a veteran Dao Tribulation Realm expert. If Lin Yang were allowed to cultivate for a period of time, what would happen then?

Xiao Gu's killing intent grew stronger.

"Xiao Gu, we'll help you!"

At the same time, other Dao Tribulation Realm experts from Chu Country also spoke.

They all saw Lin Yang's strength and did not want to prolong the situation.

However, these words made Xiao Gu's expression somewhat unpleasant. As a veteran Dao Tribulation Realm expert, his status in Chu Country was quite high, and failing to take down a junior who had just broken through made him feel a loss of face.

"No need, I alone am enough to kill him!"

Xiao Gu refused the help of others, took a deep breath, and suddenly put away his current Dao weapon, replacing it with another large bell Dao weapon.

Upon it, faint, even more mysterious Dao power fluctuations emanated.

"This is... a treasure-grade Dao weapon?!"

Seeing this large bell, Lin Yang's eyes flickered.

He sensed that this was precisely the aura of the treasure-grade Dao weapon that had previously suppressed space in the capital of Blue Moon Country.

Xiao Gu and the others had actually brought this treasure-grade Dao weapon out!

In an instant, Lin Yang's expression also changed.

He had always wanted a treasure-grade Dao weapon but had no way of obtaining one.

But now, a thought began to stir in his mind.

That was to kill Xiao Gu and the others and seize this large bell!

As soon as the thought arose, Lin Yang could no longer suppress it.

Although the dozen or so people in the field were all veteran Dao Tribulation Realm experts, it might not be easy to seize the bell, but as long as he could seize this large bell, even paying some price would be worth it!

After quickly calculating, Lin Yang no longer held back.

"Space Cage, suppress!"

Lin Yang let out a low roar, and the Space Cage directly suppressed Xiao Gu.

At the same time, the World-in-a-Flower bloomed, also enveloping Xiao Gu.

The Silver Dragon Spear also pierced through the void, thrusting towards Xiao Gu.

In an instant, everyone felt the terrifying power erupting from Lin Yang.

"This is..."

Xiao Gu, who bore the brunt of the attack, was engulfed by a surge of Dao power before he could even react to how Lin Yang's power could still surge.

"Not good, this kid wants to kill Xiao Gu with all his might and seize the Sky Tremor Bell!"

The people from Chu Country immediately saw through Lin Yang's intentions.

Immediately, the remaining dozen people all erupted in unison, trying to stop Lin Yang.

But Lin Yang didn't care about their attacks; his entire focus was on killing Xiao Gu.

Hiss.

The power of the World-in-a-Flower fully bloomed.

Even though Xiao Gu held a treasure-grade Dao weapon, he was still directly injured by the bombardment.

"Lin! Yang!"

"I want you dead!"

Xiao Gu was furious, the power of the large bell in his hand burst forth, and he wanted to suppress Lin Yang with a backhand.

Whoosh!

But the Silver Dragon Spear followed closely behind, forcing Xiao Gu to defend first.

However, it was precisely at this moment that Lin Yang seized the opportunity and pointed a finger.

"Time Stop!"

With a buzz.

Xiao Gu only felt as if all his actions were interfered with by some mysterious force, preventing him from making any further reactions.

Then, before he had time to discern what kind of power this was, he saw the Silver Dragon Spear had already stabbed at him over a thousand times in that instant.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Xiao Gu's defense was broken, and a pair of large hands reached out, directly snatching the large bell from his stiff hands!

"No!"

Xiao Gu's heart instantly turned cold!

Yes, at this moment, Xiao Gu felt only dread, not rage!

Xiao Gu couldn't even imagine what kind of punishment he would face for losing a treasure-grade Dao weapon!

However, before he had too much time to be afraid, Xiao Gu only felt a chill in his chest.

The Silver Dragon Spear had already pierced into his chest at some unknown point.

Boom!

Dao power exploded in his chest, then instantly spread throughout his body.

Xiao Gu's consciousness began to dissipate.

"Perhaps, dying... isn't so bad..."

In the last moment of his dissipating consciousness, Xiao Gu actually felt a sense of relief; dying here was better than returning to face Chu Country's punishment.

Thud.

Xiao Gu's corpse fell.

In an instant, the world fell silent.

The dozen or so Dao Tribulation Realm experts from Chu Country who had charged over watched Xiao Gu's corpse fall, and then looked at the Sky Tremor Bell already in Lin Yang's hand, their minds all went blank for a moment.

Xiao Gu, who had a treasure-grade Dao weapon in hand, was actually killed just like that?

And, even the treasure-grade Dao weapon was taken by Lin Yang?!

Everyone was stunned. (End of this chapter)
