119: Chapter 119 The Gu Insects Turn to Powder, the Second Prince Goes Mad and Loses His Color
The blood bead spun in the air, transforming into a thumb-sized blood-colored Gu, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it emitted a silent shriek.
It struggled, trying to escape into the darkness, but Gu Han flicked his finger.
A sharp Saber Qi instantly shredded it into powder, and even the lingering stench in the air was cleansed away by his True Qi.
The entire process took only a fleeting moment.
The triumph and madness on Chu Li's face froze instantly, as if he had been struck by a paralysis spell.
His pupils contracted sharply as he stared fixedly at the dissipating residue of the blood-colored Gu, his face turning as pale as if he had seen a ghost.
"This... this is impossible!"
He exclaimed, his voice trembling with disbelief, as if he had witnessed the most inconceivable thing in the world.
"The Heart-Devouring Gu cannot be undone by anyone."
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Gu Han let out a cold laugh, slowly withdrawing his hand. His icy gaze swept over Chu Li before glancing at the blue light barrier that enveloped the entire hall.
"A frog in a well, yet you dare to speak recklessly of 'cannot be undone by anyone'?"
Gu Han's tone was contemptuous, as if he were reprimanding a child.
"A mere domesticated Gu, in the eyes of This Commander, is nothing more than a piece of meat."
He paused, a cold glint surging in his eyes, his voice like the freezing winds of the Nine Netherworlds, chilling Chu Li to the bone.
"As for who This Commander is..."
"This Gu is someone you will never be able to attain in your entire life."
"Since I dared to attend this banquet, how could I possibly be unprepared?"
Watching Chu Li, who was still stunned and dumbfounded, Gu Han spoke again, his voice eerie.
"Your Highness, you should be very fortunate that your background has temporarily saved your life."
"The last person who attacked This Gu like that already has grass three feet high growing on their grave."
Before the words had even faded, Gu Han moved, transforming into a blur as he charged straight toward the blue light barrier.
"Arrogant!"
Chu Li recovered from his shock, his face twisting instantly as he roared.
"Heaven-Confining Earth-Locking Formation, suppress him for me!"
The blue light barrier erupted instantly with blinding blue light, countless golden runes swimming like living creatures, emitting a terrifying power of suppression.
The air in the entire hall seemed to solidify, becoming heavy enough to cause suffocation.
Even Chu Ming felt his body suppressed by an invisible, massive force, making it difficult to move.
However, Gu Han's speed increased instead of decreasing.
He curled his five fingers into a claw, Heavenly Prison True Qi condensing in his palm, transforming into a brilliant golden sphere of light.
As the light sphere rotated, it emitted a low roar, like a prehistoric beast that had been imprisoned, now struggling to break free from its shackles.
"Break!"
He threw a fierce punch, and the golden sphere of light slammed into the blue light barrier like a comet.
"Boom!"
<Continued Writing> Gu Han's mocking smile deepened, like an undercurrent surging beneath an abyss.
He did not respond to Chu Li's wild words, simply raising his hand and tapping his heart with his fingertip.
The next instant, a massive surge of Heavenly Prison True Qi erupted from within his body, like a burst dam, instantly rushing through his limbs and bones.
That blood-colored aura which Chu Li called the "Heart-Devouring Gu," under the impact of this extremely Yang and rigid True Qi, instantly melted and disintegrated like residual snow under the scorching sun.
A drop of crimson blood, carrying a trace of imperceptible black light, was forced out from Gu Han's fingertip.
The blood bead spun in the air, transforming into a thumb-sized blood-colored Gu, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it emitted a silent shriek.
It struggled, trying to escape into the darkness, but Gu Han flicked his finger, and a sharp Saber Qi instantly shredded it into powder, with even the lingering stench in the air being cleansed away by his True Qi.
The entire process took only a fleeting moment.
The triumph and madness on Chu Li's face froze instantly, as if he had been struck by a paralysis spell.
His pupils contracted sharply as he stared fixedly at the dissipating residue of the blood-colored Gu, his face turning as pale as if he had seen a ghost.
"This... this is impossible!" He exclaimed, his voice trembling with disbelief, as if he had witnessed the most inconceivable thing in the world. "The Heart-Devouring Gu! It cannot be undone by anyone! Who... who exactly are you?!"
Gu Han let out a cold laugh, slowly withdrawing his hand. His icy gaze swept over Chu Li before glancing at the blue light barrier that enveloped the entire hall.
"A frog in a well, yet you dare to speak recklessly of 'cannot be undone by anyone'?" Gu Han's tone was contemptuous, as if he were reprimanding a child. "A mere domesticated Gu, in the eyes of This Commander, is nothing more than a petty trick."
He paused, a cold glint surging in his eyes, his voice like the freezing winds of the Nine Netherworlds, chilling Chu Li to the bone.
"As for who This Commander is... if the Second Prince really wants to know, you are welcome to come to Hell and ask in person!"
Before the words had even faded, Gu Han moved, transforming into a blur as he charged straight toward the blue light barrier.
"Arrogant!" Chu Li recovered from his shock, his face twisting instantly as he roared, "Heaven-Confining Earth-Locking Formation, suppress him for me!"
The blue light barrier erupted instantly with blinding blue light, countless golden runes swimming like living creatures, emitting a terrifying power of suppression.

"Break!"
He threw a fierce punch, and the golden sphere of light slammed into the blue light barrier like a comet.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar exploded within the hall, and the entire Second Prince's residence trembled violently.
Under Gu Han's punch, the blue light barrier, like torn cloth, instantly developed spiderweb-like cracks.
The violent aftermath of the energy swept in all directions, blowing away the tables and chairs in the hall.
The dancing girls and the injured death warriors were blasted away, vomiting blood and flying backward like broken ragdolls.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Chu Li's eyes widened, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.
This Heaven-Confining Earth-Locking Formation was a life-saving measure personally bestowed by Emperor Yuanwu.
Even a powerhouse at the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm would need to expend great effort to shake it.
Yet Gu Han had cracked it with a single punch.
Gu Han did not stop, condensing Heavenly Prison True Qi in his left hand again, and fiercely tore at the crack!
"Rip!"
Amidst the ear-piercing tearing sound, that indestructible blue light barrier was torn open by Gu Han as if it were made of paper, creating a gap a zhang long.
Violent True Qi poured out from the gap, leaving the entire hall in shambles.
Gu Han withdrew his hand, the thunderous True Qi in his palm still surging.
His gaze was like a torch, peering through the torn gap at the courtyard in the night outside.
He then turned to the pale-faced Chu Li, his lips curling into a cold arc.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is this the "Heaven-Confining Earth-Locking Formation" you are so proud of?"
Gu Han's voice sounded as if it came from the abyss of the Nine Netherworlds, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
"It seems that items bestowed by Your Majesty are nothing more than this in Your Highness's hands."
"Your Highness has failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
With every word he spoke, he took a step forward, and each step seemed to land on Chu Li's heart, making his face turn another shade paler.
Chu Ming followed closely behind. Looking at Gu Han's figure, which was like that of a demon god, his eyes were filled not only with shock, but even more so with an indescribable fanaticism.
This was the person he had chosen to follow, powerful to the point of suffocation.
