239: Luo Qingcheng kills Gu Yun

At this very moment, above the dense forest.

Luo Qingcheng formed a sword gesture with her fingers and flicked them downward.

Hum—!

That transparent sword shadow emitted a hum that froze the Divine Soul, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly vanished into her palm.

When it reappeared, it already carried a terrifying will that ended everything, descending upon Gu Yun's head!

"No, Mother, it's me!!!"

Gu Yun's eyes split open, emitting a roar of extreme despair.

The next instant, the remaining body-protecting Restriction within his body was instantly activated.

Hum!

An incomparably tough golden light barrier emerged from within his body.

Complicated Immortal Dao runes flowed across the surface of the light barrier, and the faint phantom of Gu Qingtian flashed and vanished.

This was the ultimate protection that Gu Qingtian had spent his lifeblood to leave within Gu Yun before his Ascension, enough to withstand a full-strength strike from a Peak Emperor!

However.

Sizzle!

The transparent sword shadow gently tapped onto the golden light barrier.

This golden light barrier, which could withstand a Peak Emperor, was like snow under the sun before that strand of supreme sword Dao will, instantly dissolving and disintegrating.

It couldn't even hold for a single breath.

The sword shadow dimmed slightly, carrying an unrivaled sharpness, pierced through the light barrier, and gently entered Gu Yun's glabella.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The despair, the roar, and the final disbelief on Gu Yun's face all froze in place.

He opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but his pupils had already completely dilated.

Gu Yun's body collapsed softly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

What remained frozen on his face at the end was an incomprehensible confusion.

Until his death, he did not understand why his mother would use the means his father left behind to kill him.

This was the clan-protecting trump card; what right did he have for it to be used on him?!

And so decisive.

So merciless.

Had he hurt her?

What was it all for?!

In the firmament, Luo Qingcheng quietly watched the corpse below that was rapidly losing temperature.

On her pale-as-paper face, the tense lines slowly relaxed, and her tightly clenched jade fingers also slightly loosened.

A trace of extremely complex emotion surged deep in her eyes for a moment.

There was pain, relief, lingering fear, and a trace of emptiness she didn't even want to delve into herself.

But in the end, all emotions were covered by a cold calmness.

She let out a soft breath, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

She whispered to herself, as if convincing herself: "Yun'er, Mother has avenged you."

Cao Bu, who was about to leave the Secret Realm, stopped his steps and looked back in confusion.

He saw that the palpitations-inducing aura from just now had suddenly vanished.

And in the distant dense forest, there was no earth-shattering explosion as imagined.

Immediately, Cao Bu released Fang Ruodan.

"Ruo Dan, protect me, let's go see what's going on."

"How come this trump card left behind by Gu Qingtian has no power at all?" Cao Bu muttered and hurried in this direction.

In his view, that strike just now should have caused all living beings in the entire Secret Realm, including Nanzhou and the three nearby provinces, to perish, but he hadn't expected it to be all thunder and no rain.

Seeing this, Fang Ruodan quickly followed.

The two hurried toward Luo Qingcheng's direction.

Not long after, Cao Bu and Fang Ruodan arrived above this dense forest.

They saw Luo Qingcheng kneeling on the ground, holding Gu Yun's corpse in her arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if sobbing.

"Yun'er, rest in peace. Mother has already completely eliminated the thief who committed Possession on you."

Her voice was choked with sobs, carrying deep sorrow.

Cao Bu's mouth twitched.

Damn.

This woman is so heartless; she killed her own son and is actually still acting here?

Seeming to notice the arrivals, Luo Qingcheng raised her tear-blurred face, looked at Cao Bu and Fang Ruodan, and revealed a trace of confusion: "Bu'er, Adoptive Mother has been looking for you for half a day, why couldn't I detect your aura?"

A cold sneer appeared in Cao Bu's eyes.

You want to pretend, but I don't want to play along anymore.

He and Fang Ruodan landed on the ground, and Cao Bu raised his hand to take out a crystal-clear shadow-recording stone.

"Adoptive Mother, stop acting."

His voice was calm, and his gaze was playful: "Bu'er knows why you wanted to kill Brother Yun."

Luo Qingcheng's delicate body trembled, and her gaze subconsciously fell onto that shadow-recording stone.

"This... what is this?"

Cao Bu's mouth curled slightly.

He had a shadow-recording stone for every woman he had had relations with.

It's just that some women didn't know at all, as he usually did it in secret.

"If Adoptive Mother wants to know, just probe it with your Divine Sense?"

A dark gleam flashed in Cao Bu's eyes.

This woman was truly to his taste, otherwise, he wouldn't have bullied her a hundred times in a row.

More importantly, she could endure quite well.

After a hundred times, she was only weak in the legs and shivering.

If this were any other woman, she would have probably passed out long ago.

Luo Qingcheng's expression was ugly, but she still carefully probed her Divine Sense into the shadow-recording stone.

The next instant!

Her face, which had been full of sorrow, completely froze!

Her pupils shrank, her breathing stopped, and even the hand holding Gu Yun's corpse trembled violently!

Cao Bu put away the shadow-recording stone and shook his head with a tsk: "I really didn't expect Brother Yun to be such a beast."

"Not only did he defile his cousin, but he also defiled his half-sister, and now even..."

He paused deliberately and chuckled out loud: "Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingcheng clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling.

Why did she kill Gu Yun?

It was because she discovered that Gu Yun was indeed, as Gu Yin and the Eight Great Elders had said, a beast.

There was another reason, which was the fear of this matter spreading.

Of course, the more important reason was that Gu Yun was unwilling to cooperate with her in erasing this memory.

If he resisted forcefully, Gu Yun would have died when she tried to erase his memory.

Added to the fact that Gu Yun kept testing her bottom line time and time again, it finally led to her killing intent.

It's just that she didn't expect a third person, no, a fourth person to know about this.

She raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Fang Ruodan beside Cao Bu, and killing intent flashed and vanished in her eyes.

Cao Bu was only at the fourth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm; it was impossible for him to evade her detection.

The only explanation was that Fang Ruodan was helping in secret!

The two not only witnessed the whole process but also secretly recorded it on a shadow-recording stone!

Although she was puzzled as to why these two were together, her only goal at the moment was to eliminate both of them.

"What? Is Adoptive Mother trying to kill to silence us?"

Cao Bu smiled, his tone teasing.

"Die—!!!"

Luo Qingcheng could no longer restrain herself, the Destruction Law erupted around her body, and the nirvana beauty spear tore through the Void Realm, carrying the killing intent to annihilate everything, stabbing straight at Cao Bu's glabella!

This spear strike was without reservation; it was a killing blow from an enraged Emperor!

Wherever the spear tip passed, space collapsed inch by inch, turning into nothingness.

"Cao Bu!"

Fang Ruodan's pupils shrank, and she stepped forward, about to strike.

"Don't be in a rush."

Cao Bu chuckled and reached out, gently pushing her behind him.

Facing the crimson spear radiance that arrived in an instant, he not only did not retreat but instead took a step forward.

Hum.

A layer of mysterious black and white divine light seeped out from within his body, quickly intertwining and condensing into a set of ancient armor flowing with Yin-Yang Two Energies.

The armor covered his entire body, the lines smooth and majestic, and the Yin and Yang fish on the chest rotated slowly, as if it could absorb all things, and also as if it could evolve the heavens.
