182: Suppression

Gu Yuchuan's attitude showed that he didn't care about them at all, making the couple's expressions turn extremely ugly. They believed their strength was not lacking, and with the boost from their Combined Attack Technique, they definitely stood a chance of winning.

However, they forgot that as an Artifact Refiner, the suppression of this Secret Realm was greatest for Gu Yuchuan. After all, for an Artifact Refiner to be unable to use Spiritual Artifacts was a massive weakening. On the other hand, for them, there weren't many techniques they couldn't use.

It was no wonder Gu Yuchuan looked down on them; things were different now. His strength had increased tremendously due to the bonuses from his Bloodline and cultivation compared to when he first entered the Secret Realm. Back then, they couldn't even defeat him, let alone now. Gu Yuchuan even felt that dealing with them would be effortless.

At this moment, Crimson Mandarin Duck raised her red long sword and charged. This long sword appeared to be a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, which did not disgrace their status as Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Crimson Mandarin Duck's sword was incredibly fast, reaching Gu Yuchuan in an instant. However, he was not afraid in the slightest, raising his Long Spear to block. The long sword and Long Spear collided, and their magic power formed ripples that vibrated through the air.

Ink Scale Demon General summoned a defensive Magical Artifact to clear away the aftershocks. After all, there were many Cultivators at this banquet, and many of their cultivation levels were only average. Aftershocks of this magnitude could still cause them some harm. If things truly turned out that way, this banquet would become a laughingstock.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuchuan and Crimson Mandarin Duck had exchanged over a hundred moves. He pressed on step by step, forcing her to retreat. Whispers came from the audience below; many Demon Generals could see that Gu Yuchuan's strength was far above theirs.

Even a Demon General with high cultivation who wasn't afraid of trouble shouted out, "You two should just go back early. With such meager strength, you're trying to do something so disgusting; you're really overestimating yourselves!"

Crimson Mandarin Duck glared at him fiercely, but the speaker was Red Tongue Demon General, who was himself an expert at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He wasn't afraid at all and even gave her a provocative look.

Seeing her wife fall behind so quickly, Azure Mandarin Duck raised her long sword and rushed over as well. Their figures intertwined, becoming ethereal and agile, and their strength increased significantly.

Gu Yuchuan threw his Long Spear, which transformed into a Flood Dragon to attack them. His main body began to chant a Spell. He could see that half of the couple's strength lay in their Combined Attack Technique. If he insisted on taking them head-on, the result might not be ideal. It was better to plan carefully; his Spells were also very powerful.

He cast ten drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water, and the water transformed into several giant pythons to assist the Flood Dragon in its attack. For a time, the two were entangled by these entities and could not escape. However, their sword techniques were indeed formidable; with every swing and thrust, flames and hurricanes would erupt. With the help of the wind, the fire's power grew even stronger, allowing them to stabilize the situation, though they looked very disheveled.

Since they dared to cause trouble today, they had to be prepared for the consequence of losing both Face and dignity. Thus, Gu Yuchuan mocked them directly, showing no mercy.

"It seems you two are only so-so. Back in the Secret Realm, you could still exchange a few moves with me, but now? How long has it been, and you already have no power to resist. It seems the gap between us is only widening. Perhaps in a while, when you see me, you'll have to kneel and salute."

He trampled their dignity into the dirt. Both of their eyes turned bloodshot and red, clearly about to explode with rage. They let out a loud shout, and their long swords emitted a divine light, clearly operating at overload. This was exactly the state Gu Yuchuan wanted.

Golden Light Incantation! Appear! The Pagoda formed by the Golden Light Incantation descended to suppress them. Under the endless golden light, they howled in pain, even trying to use their long swords to resist. But the Pagoda continued to press down, and their facial expressions became distorted as they endured immense pressure.

Gu Yuchuan's expression was also very serious as he continuously channeled his magic power. Gradually, their struggling movements grew smaller, and they even began to manifest their original forms. They had no strength left to resist, like a lamp running out of oil.

The Red Tongue Demon General who had spoken earlier spoke again, "Azure Scale Demon General, please stay your hand. Now that Demon Venerable Majesty has issued a decree that the Yao Race must not kill one another, please do not act recklessly. Of course, they deserve ten thousand deaths for doing such a thing on this joyous day, but it would be bad if you were punished because of these two. It's better to report this to the Demon King and let him decide."

In truth, Gu Yuchuan never intended to kill them directly. With so many people around, he would have to be crazy to do it here. Having someone intervene was the best possible outcome. At this moment, Black Tortoise Demon General also stood up.

"Indeed, Red Tongue Demon General is right. Their failure to follow the rules is due to their poor character, but we are not that kind of Cultivator. We will follow Demon Venerable Majesty's orders. Leave this matter to me. After the banquet, I will report today's events in full to Lord Black Shark Demon King. The specific punishment will be decided by the Demon King; we don't need to worry about it. Alright, Seal them up, and let the banquet continue."

Soon, the music and dancing resumed. Everyone was very happy, as if the previous incident had never happened. However, some things had changed; many Demon Generals came to Gu Yuchuan to build connections. His combat power had shocked everyone present. He had fought two Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment who possessed a Combined Attack Technique with such ease that they had no room to resist. With such strength, people naturally came to curry favor with him.

The banquet lasted from noon until night. Everyone was very happy, and many people met one another. It was considered a very significant event on the outskirts of Cloud Sea Marsh.

By nightfall, many people had drunk too much and passed out at the banquet. Fortunately, the place had just been expanded, so there were plenty of guest rooms to accommodate them. Gu Yuchuan had originally planned to return, but he had also drunk a lot and didn't want to use his magic power to dispel the feeling. Proper relaxation is truly beneficial for cultivation, so he also stayed the night.
