Chapter 495
Beneath the ice of the Kunlun Ruins.
Huangfu Wuji stood up from the formation, brimming with energy. He had actually swept away the sorry state he was in over ten days ago.
"Hahaha, Man with a bamboo hat, your skills are as superb as ever. I can feel endless energy surging out of my body!"
His lost arm had recovered, and the injuries on his body had also healed.
The feeling of the organs rejecting each other had also disappeared, and he had regained control of his body.
"Haha, your talent is outstanding. I thought it would take more time to fuse the 67 organs into one, but I didn't expect it to be successfully fused in only 65 days."
The bamboo hat man sighed in admiration, and then his expression became a little more serious. "However, many things have happened in the outside world during the past few days when you were fusing the organs. We've been surrounded by the Overlord's men."
Huangfu Wuji, who had just recovered, stopped smiling, and his eyes flickered. "How did they know I was in the Kunlun Ruins?"
"It should be my fault. Perhaps I accidentally exposed my whereabouts when I came here," Man with a bamboo hat looked apologetic.
"How many of them are there?" Huangfu Wuji's gaze turned cold.
"There's a huge number of them. I'm afraid all the Heaven Stage powerhouses on the continent are here. However, don't worry, sir. Putting aside the dangers of the Kunlun Ruins, they won't dare to attack us for the time being. "
Man with a bamboo hat's words made Huangfu Wuji raise his brows. "Why?"
"Haha, Jie, you've taken Princess Lanchu hostage. The Overlord doesn't dare to attack rashly."
"He's already got my world, so why would he care about a mere woman?" Huangfu Wuji sneered.
"The Overlord is still young, so he's bewitched by beauty. However, we can use this to our advantage. Please forgive me, sir. In order to stabilize the enemy, I've already spread the news to them. "
"What did you say?"
"I asked the Overlord to enter the Kunlun Ruins alone. If he can defeat you, I'll agree to release Princess Lanchu."
Huangfu Wuji's eyes became shocked. "He agreed?"
"I'm afraid so." Man with a bamboo hat curled his lips.
"Do you think he can defeat me? No, I should say, does he have the qualifications to be my opponent? "
Huangfu Wuji burst into loud laughter. Because he had underestimated his enemy, he had overlooked the fact that the Man with a Bamboo Hat had played tricks on him without his permission.
"The Tyrant is naturally no match for you, but if he's willing to enter, it's a good thing for us."
The Man with a Bamboo Hat glanced at the dragon nest at the bottom of the ice cliff.
"It won't be easy for Princess Lanchu to obtain the inheritance here. It may take a long time. If you can capture the Overlord and use him as our bargaining chip, the allied forces will not dare to act rashly."
"Once you've obtained the power of the Dragon Vein, no matter how many people there are in the allied army, we won't be able to take them seriously."
The words of the Man with a Bamboo Hat made Huangfu Wuji's heart thump, and his face became even more ferocious.
"If that brat from the Gu family is so stupid to enter the Kunlun Ruins, I can take this opportunity to vent my hatred!"
Man with a bamboo hat smiled as if he had sensed something. "I'm afraid he's already here."
…
Outside the Kunlun Ruins, many people from the Celestial Court, Heavenly Star Sect, the four foreign tribes, and the various forces in the nine provinces were gathered here.
The people gathered here were mainly Heaven Stage powerhouses and Gu Chen's trusted aides. At this moment, they all made way.
Gu Chen was dressed in a white robe as he walked past calmly. Everyone looked at his young face with complicated expressions.
Today's battle concerned the safety of the entire continent, and all of this depended on the Overlord alone.
He shouldered the heavy responsibility and would face a peerless enemy that no one present was confident of defeating.
Gu Chen walked forward at a steady pace. His gaze swept past the allies who had come to send him off before finally stopping in front of his mother and grandfather.
"Chen 'er, remember what I said. The disadvantages of Huangfu Wuji fusing multiple extreme dao organs far outweigh the advantages."
Gu Yuan reminded him in a serious tone.
Gu Chen nodded with a determined tone. "Grandfather, today, I'll completely sever the ill-fated relationship between the Huangfu family and my Gu family and return you justice."
Gu Yuan's expression changed. "Grandfather believes in you."
Everyone spoke to Gu Chen one after another. Ye Qingshuang stood beside Shen Yu, but she did not say a word for a long time. She only silently watched the man who had slowly transitioned from a teenager to a young man, gradually fading away his immaturity.
"My, Ye Qingshuang's, future husband will definitely be an indomitable powerhouse, and Gu Chen will never have the possibility of becoming a powerhouse!"
The arguments from when they were young echoed in her mind. Ye Qingshuang looked at Gu Chen and her mouth moved. She really wanted to tell him that he was already an indomitable powerhouse in her heart.
She had witnessed his growth. She had watched him transform from a small servant in the Wuchen Sect to an overlord who could shake the entire Kunlun Continent with a stomp of his foot.
Today, he was going to participate in a life-and-death battle for the sake of other women.
Ye Qingshuang did not feel indignant. She watched silently as Gu Chen finished speaking to the crowd. When he was about to leave, she could not help but say.
"You must come back alive!"
She was afraid that she would never see him again, so she removed her cold mask and revealed her true feelings.
Gu Chen looked at her and flashed an unrestrained smile. "Of course."
He turned around and left, striding towards the Kunlun Ruins, leaving everyone with a figure that did not look back.
It was dawn, and the sky was just about to brighten. As Gu Chen walked slowly towards the Kunlun Ruins, the sun happened to jump out of the horizon.
The sky was still half dark. The towering peaks of the Kunlun Ruins stood in the shadows like gigantic gods.
The sun gradually rose, and the snow in the Kunlun Ruins was dyed with the morning light, sparkling.
It was already dawn. The cold moon that guarded the night should have quietly retired, but it was a little different today.
It was still hanging in the sky. As the huge fireball of the sun rose, it also released wisps of cold aura that approached it.
The sun and moon collided. This was a rare astronomical phenomenon that happened once in a thousand years. It was even rarer than a total solar eclipse.
There was a legend in the world that whenever a strange phenomenon appeared, it was either an auspicious sign or a sign of the end of the world.
The anomaly in the sky made this unprecedented battle even more confusing and confusing.
Gu Chen arrived at the entrance of the Kunlun Ruins. A green ox was already waiting there.
"Master, please let me go in with you!"
The green ox said with a face full of desire.
Gu Chen shook his head and walked up to it. He picked up the white ape that was on his shoulder.
"I can only go in alone. You guys wait outside."
Gu Chen carried the white ape onto the green ox's head, causing it to cry out.
"Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak! "
The white ape's face was filled with reluctance, and its eyes were filled with worry.
"Little guy, don't be willful this time."
Gu Chen rubbed its head with a doting expression.
The white ape looked at Gu Chen eagerly and begged.
