124: Chapter 124 Instant Kill! Entering the Dao through Martial Arts

"Hmph~ You call out to it, but do you see it answering you?" Huang Wudie seized the opportunity to mock him.

At the same time, she was constantly monitoring the situation around them.

If Gu Qingge proved unable to fight and couldn't be relied upon, she wouldn't hesitate to slip away quietly and save her own life.

"Extraordinary treasures belong to the capable. If you cannot obtain it, it simply means you are incompetent."

Jian Lingchen was already in a state of rage, and upon hearing Huang Wudie's words, he became even more furious, his hair standing on end.

"Boy, hand her over to me. This matter has nothing to do with you. I can let bygones be bygones and spare your life right now."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingge didn't take his words to heart at all. Instead, he retorted mockingly: "I, Gu Qingge, have roamed freely my entire life; why would I need an unrelated person to dictate my actions?"

"Furthermore, to issue threats right under my nose..."

"Who do you think you are?"

Gu Qingge's words were clear and articulate. Although they carried no added spiritual power or Devilish Qi, they sounded like a thunderclap, shaking the surroundings.

The commotion here quickly attracted a group of people who hadn't yet left the area.

"Holy crap, are there already Cultivators wanting to test that kid's depth so soon? In my opinion, he's probably just all show and no substance; he might not be that strong."

"Those female Cultivators look nice. If that kid really is all bark and no bite, why don't we save them from their plight? It would be acting on behalf of Heaven and doing a good deed!"

"A bunch of idiots! Still thinking about taking advantage of the situation at a time like this."

The Cultivators had varying expressions, most intending to watch the good show about to unfold.

They wanted to know whether it would be Gu Qingge, who had triggered the chaotic scene of malevolent intent, or the aged Sword Cultivator who would have the last laugh.

Seeing that Gu Qingge intended to stand up for Huang Wudie, Jian Lingchen had already sentenced them both to death in his heart.

He had spent his life pursuing the mysteries of the Immortal Dao and had killed countless people.

Facing two Golden Core Stage juniors, he intended to suppress them with his overwhelming strength and kill them in an instant to retrieve the treasure.

In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted, and an extraordinary aura surged forth!

A single sword strike pierces the heavenly clouds; the Sword Dao swears to hold up the heavens!

The sharp Killing Intent of the Sword Cultivator was displayed to the fullest in his hands.

The cold light vanished in a flash, a speck of clear blue light drifting past, attacking straight toward where Gu Qingge and Huang Wudie were located.

On the other hand, Gu Qingge showed no sign of grand, sweeping movements.

He simply stuck the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into the ground, grabbed Huang Wudie's fair, jade-like wrist with one hand to pull her into his arms for protection, and wielded the blood-colored demon heaven halberd with the other, unleashing a strike from afar.

The two opposing forces collided, and the shockwaves rippled outward!

"How could this be? I have cultivated bitterly for hundreds of years; how could I fall at the hands of an unknown nobody?"

Jian Lingchen immediately felt that it wasn't just his death; his Dao Heart had shattered.

His Nascent Soul had also been destroyed and crushed by this single strike!

"I am not an unknown nobody; my name has simply not yet been revealed." Gu Qingge emphasized with an expressionless face.

"However, in the future, my name will shake the past and dazzle the present, ruling over Reincarnation and covering the vault of heaven!"

"In the future... shaking the past and dazzling the present... ruling over Reincarnation and covering the vault of heaven... Hahaha! To be buried by your hand... I suppose that does not dishonor my name..."

Blood spilled from the corners of Jian Lingchen's mouth, his voice intermittent, and the life in his eyes was fading away.

Gu Qingge felt no significant emotional fluctuation regarding the killing of Jian Lingchen, who was at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was merely a task done with a casual wave of his hand.

Instead, it was Huang Wudie's beautiful figure that filled his vision.

While Gu Qingge paid no attention, Jian Lingchen's stiff body paused for a moment in mid-air, then instantly exploded, stirring up a downpour of blood.

"A dignified Nascent Soul Stage old monster, just killed so casually?" Huang Wudie's face was filled with utter astonishment.

She had originally thought that even if Gu Qingge could hold off Jian Lingchen, it would take a lot of effort, and he would be in constant danger, nearly losing his life and Dao.

But no matter what, she never expected this result to occur.

"This is surely stronger than I could have imagined, right?"

As her beautiful eyes blinked, Huang Wudie was momentarily too shocked to speak.

So, killing across a major Realm is not just empty talk; it can really happen!

For a moment, it made her feel a bit fearful.

"Leave the item, and you may go."

Huang Wudie took the brocade box with the Phoenix pattern out from the cleavage of her chest and handed it to Gu Qingge.

A faint, lingering scent of a young girl still clung to it.

Only then did Huang Wudie notice the chilling Devilish Qi flowing around Gu Qingge, as well as the endless wicked ghosts and fierce souls behind him, and her calves couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, Gu Qingge couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Was he really that terrifying to look at?

Was there any need to be this afraid?

"I... it seems very unsafe around here..."

Although Huang Wudie didn't say the rest, her meaning was very clear.

She wanted to stay by Gu Qingge's side and take temporary shelter to prevent other Cultivators from taking advantage of her current weak state to attack.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingge instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, he changed his mind, considering that Huang Wudie had indeed been there once and should have a thorough understanding of the terrain and layout.

Furthermore, the fact that she dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and steal a treasure from a Nascent Soul Stage old monster showed she was not a simple character.

"What is the situation at that place right now?" Gu Qingge asked.

"There were seventeen items in the first batch of treasures. The moment they opened, they were swarmed and divided up by a group of Cultivators." Huang Wudie answered crisply.

"This also caused significant casualties and slaughter."

"I was only lucky to snatch one from that old monster."

"Until later, when a second ray of light suddenly rose."

"It was even more dazzling and eye-catching than the light from the first batch of treasures."

"It also caused the chaotic fighting and slaughter to temporarily subside."

"However, I estimate that it is just the calm before the storm."

"When those treasures appear again, it will brew an even more tragic slaughter."

Before long, guided by Huang Wudie, Gu Qingge brought the women and the Imperial Blood Demon Cavalry to the place where the treasures had appeared.

He discovered that the situation on the scene was indeed exactly as Huang Wudie had described.

At this moment, the place had already turned into a living hell!

It was filled with blood-stained earth, severed limbs scattered randomly, and many Cultivators who were breathing their last, appearing to be waiting for death.

"Indeed, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with blazing fires consuming the city—this is the most beautiful scenery in this world."

Just then, the System's voice echoed in Gu Qingge's mind.

[Ding, Fate Mission activated: Enter the Dao through Martial Arts, seek Immortals and question Demons, build the Immortal Qin Empire, and suppress the eternal era!]

"Enter the Dao through Martial Arts, seek Immortals and question Demons, build the Immortal Qin Empire?" Gu Qingge suddenly felt that the System's intention was somewhat unclear.

May I ask, is this normal Immortal cultivation?

Could there be a higher-level version?

And the System is the answer to the version?!

Gu Qingge felt that this seemed a bit different from the novels he had read on Blue Star.

After his Transmigration, what kind of script did he actually receive?

Protagonist?

Villain?

Or something indescribable?!
