Chapter 1850

"Fail? Since we've already made our move, there's no possibility of failure. "

The corner of Wu Lie's mouth curled into a mocking smile, as if everything was under his control.

"Oh? You're that confident? "Gu Chen laughed involuntarily.

"What else can I do?"

Wu Lie grinned, his eyes suddenly emitting a strange blue light. Accompanying this was a powerful undulation of soulforce that filled the pavilion!

"Relax, don't be nervous. In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, you'll become my most loyal servant."

A demonic voice reverberated, and Wu Lie's body suddenly swelled up, bursting through his clothes. Half of his body had turned into metal, while the other half was like skinned flesh.

His original face had also turned into a yin yang face, and a pair of bean-like eyes continued to emit a strange blue light. Countless tentacles grew out of half of his body, slowly extending towards Gu Chen's head.

His movements were calm and unhurried, as if he hadn't considered the possibility of the person in front of him resisting.

Just as those disgusting tentacles were about to reach Gu Chen, Gu Chen suddenly asked a question. "Do you think such a low-grade spirit technique can control me?"

This voice was devoid of joy or sorrow, and it was completely calm, causing the expression of the enemy who had revealed his true appearance to change.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Gu Chen had already stood up and punched out!

The table instantly shattered, and the countless tentacles near him also exploded. Even the pavilion's roof was instantly blown away by a powerful gust of air!

Gu Chen's fist was like a shooting star, bringing with it the sound of rolling thunder. Before the enemy could even react, it heavily smashed into his head!

Bang!

That sinister and ugly half of his face was instantly blown apart by Gu Chen, and the enemy's huge body was heavily thrown out of the pavilion!

"My lord!"

The expressions of the dozen or so Crow Generals outside the pavilion changed greatly. They immediately brandished their dagger-axes and charged towards Gu Chen!

However.

They had just flapped their wings, and before they could even display their agility, they were suddenly like marionettes, uncontrollably crashing into each other.

"Ah!"

Pierced by the weapons of their companions, the Crow Generals let out miserable cries and tried to break free, but they found that their bodies seemed to be entangled by some unknown thread. The more they struggled, the tighter they were bound!

The dozen or so Crow Generals didn't even have to do anything before they lost their ability to fight. They even lost their unique ability to fly!

Gu Chen, on the other hand, did not even spare the Crow Generals a glance. When he had just passed by them, he had already unleashed his Heaven Twining Silk and silently bound their hands and feet.

Given the current might of the Heaven Coiling Silk, there was no way these Crow Generals could break free from it given their cultivation bases. They could only be caged birds.

Gu Chen wasn't interested in them. He was only interested in the enemies lying on the ground.

Just now, he suspected that someone from the Qiankun Association had personally made a move against him. He didn't expect to receive confirmation so quickly.

He had seen this man, whose head had been smashed in half by his fist, on the night of Luo Men's destruction.

At that time, he had been by Mourning Yan's side. If he remembered correctly, the Great Prophet had said that his name was Dark Hunter.

For the Great Prophet to remember his name, even if Dark Hunter wasn't one of the generals of the Qiankun Association, he was definitely someone with real power.

Gu Chen didn't expect the Qiankun Association to send someone of this level to deal with him so quickly. After all, his current identity was only Chen Yi!

He had originally wanted to use Wu Lie to set up a trap for an important member of the Qiankun Association. He didn't expect them to come knocking on his door first!

"Who are you?"

Gu Chen looked at the man on the ground and asked even though he already knew the answer.

The metal half of Dark Hunter's head kept emitting sparks, and countless tentacles grew out of the remaining flesh and blood. He was actually repairing his face.

He slowly crawled up from the ground. In just a short while, the flesh and bones could be seen again, but it was still a terrifying sight.

"What kind of monster are you?"

Gu Chen said expressionlessly. This Dark Hunter didn't seem like a normal lifeform.

"Chen Yi, descendant of the Chen Clan. The information was wrong."

A deep voice came from Dark Hunter's throat. His tone was different from before.

He was almost killed by a punch, but he didn't seem to be particularly angry. Gu Chen thought that he would lose his mind in anger after suffering such a big loss, just because of the bravado he had shown just now.

"Interesting." A golden light flashed in the depths of Gu Chen's eyes.

"Roar!"

Ming Shou suddenly let out a roar and charged at Gu Chen like a raging bull, waving his thick metal arms!

"Kacha! Kacha! "

The ground was shattered by his stomp. This punch was extremely powerful, but it was easily blocked by Gu Chen's seemingly weak hand!

"This strength isn't something an ordinary cultivator can possess."

Gu Chen estimated the strength from Dark Hunter's hand. He raised his empty hand and flicked his finger.

"Pfft!"

A strand of Heavenly Winding Silk shot out from his fingertip. Like a steel nail, it instantly pierced through Dark Hunter's head!

However, Dark Hunter didn't seem to feel any pain. Seeing that his first punch had been blocked by Gu Chen, he retracted his fist and threw out a second punch, a third punch...

Each of his punches was extremely powerful, causing the mountain to quake repeatedly. However, Gu Chen was able to block every single one of his punches with ease.

This seemed like a futile effort, but every time Dark Hunter's attack was blocked, the dark blue light in his eyes would flicker.

Gu Chen felt that something was amiss. He narrowed his eyes and tied a knot in the air with his Heavenly Winding Silk, instantly binding Dark Hunter's body!

Then, his hand suddenly reached out like a dragon's claw and pierced through Dark Hunter's head. He pulled out a dark blue stone from the depths of Dark Hunter's head!

The moment the stone was pulled out, Dark Hunter's powerful aura receded like a receding tide. He collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, unable to move. The regenerative ability of half of his body had also disappeared!

Gu Chen held the stone in his hand and tried to send his divine sense into the stone. He quickly captured some soul power that was rapidly dissipating.

He read through the remaining soul power and discovered that it recorded the strength, speed, and even attack pattern of his attacks!

He had only captured a small portion of the soul power, and the stone in his hand quickly shattered. Even more soul power dissipated, and it was unknown whether it had fused with heaven and earth or flowed to some mysterious place …

Gu Chen's expression immediately darkened. He could tell that Dark Hunter had been testing his strength and had used some kind of dao technique to transmit relevant information to someone!

After failing to capture him, Dark Hunter had given up on his original mission and even disregarded his own safety to gather information about him.

This kind of cold and rational behavior wasn't something a normal person would do. He was more like some kind of puppet!

Fortunately, he hadn't used any ability that would expose his identity. Otherwise, if the person behind the scenes had guessed something, all of his previous efforts would have been in vain, and his plan would have been greatly affected!

Dark Hunter was dead, and Gu Chen hadn't been able to dig out any useful information from him. Instead, Dark Hunter had learned some things about him.

Even though he had only put this information on the surface to deceive others, this feeling of returning empty-handed still made him feel displeased.

First, set a small goal. For example, one second.
