The Godstone’s main body finally fell into his hands, but Gu Nan didn’t show much excitement.
He’d gotten too many good items in his gaming career, so a lowest-ranked Godstone wouldn’t particularly move him.
Yue Qianleng’s glare hardened. He wanted to attack but was blocked by Qin Xuanji.
“Mr. Yue, please wait a moment,” Qin Xuanji whispered, “I have some friendship with him. It would be great if this matter can be settled peacefully.”
Yue Qianleng thought about it, then nodded.
The more power and status someone has, the more they tend to cherish their lives, so they won’t start fighting like street gangsters if things can still be resolved diplomatically.
Moreover, Yue Qianleng came here to help simply because he accepted an invitation. It was debatable whether he’d be willing to put his life on the line to help Qin Xuanji.
Therefore, Qin Xuanji took the initiative to try to settle the matter peacefully before either side started fighting.
“Gu Nan, although the Realm Stone is a treasure, it’s only effective for Void Cutter Realm existences. As long as you’re willing to exchange it for something else, our conditions will definitely satisfy you.”
Qin Xuanji’s negotiation was very skillful. On one hand, she pointed out how the Godstone was useless to Gu Nan, and on the other hand, she also implied that she had the support of a Void Cutter Realm powerhouse behind her.
But unfortunately for her, not only did Gu Nan need the Godstone, he was also too lazy to pay attention to the hidden meaning behind her words.
For players, whether someone is a friend or an enemy simply depends on the mission at hand. Anyone who prevents him from completing his mission and leveling up is the enemy.
So in the next instant, Blade of the Sanguine King suddenly appeared in Gu Nan’s hand. Its speed, which was boosted by the power of shadows to an unimaginable degree, actually beheaded Qin Xuanji directly!
Qin Xuanji’s head separated from her body, a stunned expression still on her face.
Gu Nan didn’t even glance at the head that flew out. He grabbed the headless body and accurately took out the blue crystal Qin Xuanji held.
The core of this crystal was precisely the last Godstone fragment, which was sealed inside the crystal by the Bloodline Alliance using special methods.
Yue Qianleng laughed lightly. “Miss Qin, it seems that he doesn’t recognize your friendship.”
Qin Xuanji’s severed head had floated back beside Yue Qianleng at some point. A helpless look appeared on her face. “In this case, I’ll have to trouble you to help.”
Gu Nan cast a glance at their side. “Bloodline users really are full of vitality.”
Of course he could tell that Qin Xuanji was relying solely on her incredible vitality to prevent her mind from dissipating. If she could reconnect her head to her body, then she’d be able to fully heal before long.
Just like himself—under the curse from Blade of the Sanguine King, half of Gu Nan’s neck had also been cut through, but the gash was already healing like crazy.
“Let’s not waste words. Let me see what’s so incredible about a 19-year-old Domain Stage cultivator.” A strange emotion flickered in Yue Qianleng’s eyes, but he had no intention of attacking immediately.
He sensed danger from Gu Nan’s previous slash.
At the same time, Gu Nan’s gaze also swept across Yue Qianleng. This person gave off a feeling similar to Wei Donghai—they both belonged to the category of players who had comprehended their skill’s arcana and was only one step away from Tier 4.
It’s just that he merely fought a clone of Wei Donghai before, while he was now fighting Yue Qianleng’s original body.
Gu Nan also didn’t think much about it. He raised his hand and slashed forward, acting like he hadn’t seen the previous battle between Feng Zhuotang and Yue Qianleng.
Yue Qianleng sneered. Just like how he dealt with Feng Zhuotang, he raised one hand. Twilight began to flicker in his palm, and an indescribable will descended.
“Moon of time, reflect…”
The corners of Gu Nan’s lips curled slightly. He suddenly put away the blade in his hand and formed his left hand into a fist, throwing a punch forward.
Yue Qianleng was a little surprised and subconsciously raised his hand to block the attack.
A terrifying strength hit the moonlight. Gu Nan was also hit by the counter-shock, but he didn’t move. Instead, Yue Qianleng took three steps back.
“Why don’t you try reflecting again, hm?” Gu Nan had a disdainful smile on his face. He was also very familiar with the attributes of the power of the moon.
This was a law that relied on its extremely high authority to rebound a majority of this world’s laws, but it wasn’t without weaknesses. The most direct one was that it was helpless against brute force.
Gu Nan’s punch didn’t contain any laws, just brute force.
At this time, no matter how powerful the law of the moon was, it was no different from a wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four more consecutive punches landed, and every blow smashed the ground under Yue Qianleng’s feet. Clearly, the latter was trying to shift some of the force off of himself and onto the ground, unwilling to withstand the full force of Gu Na’s punches by himself.
Although the law of the moon could rebound other laws, there was no way to directly erase the physical force behind an attack.
After taking several more punches, Yue Qianleng finally realized that he couldn’t continue fighting like this anymore.
He suddenly jumped back, putting distance between himself and Gu Nan as both of his hands made a mysterious seal. He gently pushed his hands forward, and a crescent moon sliced toward Gu Nan.
Gu Nan didn’t even try to dodge and just let the crescent moon chop him, leaving a bloody gash.
However, just three seconds later, the wound began to heal rapidly, unable to stop Gu Na’s advance.
Yue Qianleng’s lips twitched slightly. He hesitated for a while. Although Gu Nan’s arrogant actions annoyed him slightly, his rationality eventually gained the upper hand.
He had no grudge or enmity with the other party. Why must they fight to the death? ‘Likewise, the Bloodline Alliance cannot trouble me over my failure in this matter either.’
However, before he even finished his thoughts, a horrifying yet noble aura suddenly rose up.
Even Gu Nan was slightly surprised, but this aura appeared too suddenly and inexplicably. Almost instantaneously, it was already directly behind him. He didn’t even have time to turn around.
From Yue Qianleng’s point of view, he just happened to see Qin Xuanji standing back up, holding her head in place with one hand and holding an epaulet with the other hand.
“This aura is… the King of the Deep Sea!” Yue Qianleng was quite knowledgeable, so he recognized this big shot’s technique at first glance.
An illusory armored shadow emerged from the badge, and a giant hand instantly slammed down on Gu Nan.
Unparalleled strength and a noble law—this attack was practically a fusion of Gu Nan and Yue Qianleng. Just a single palm made Yue Qianleng feel an utter sense of helplessness in his heart.
Meanwhile, Gu Na’s reaction was much simpler. ‘Sure enough, it’s a Tier 4 power!’
He had already predicted that the other party would have a trump card, but he didn’t expect the trump card to come so quickly and so fiercely.
He had no time to think twice in that critical split second. He could only hug his hands behind his head, bend his body slightly, and crazily shift all the shadows behind him to soften the incoming blow.
Bam!
The King of the Deep Sea’s illusory shadow directly slapped Gu Nan into the ground, even smashing a hand-shaped depression two meters deep in the ground, which revealed the terrifying power behind this strike.
Qin Xuanji slowly walked over and met up with Yue Qianleng, while the latter was already looking at her with different eyes.
He originally thought that the other party was nothing more than an ordinary member of the Bloodline Alliance, but he never expected for the King of the Deep Sea to bestow her with a gift… None of the people who could converse directly with Void Cutter Realm big shots were simple.
And Qin Xuanji clearly had such a strong attack, yet she still asked Yue Qianleng to attack first in order to choose the best opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill Gu Nan in one shot.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianleng couldn’t help giving a light sigh. ‘Dying to such an opponent is expected…’
But in the next second, he saw Qin Xuanji’s face change slightly. “Not good, he’s still alive!”
