Chapter 503

The battlefield was a mess, and cultivators were covered in wounds.

Gu Chen dragged his exhausted body through the crowd and walked towards the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

"Have you finally made your choice?"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat could not contain his excitement. He opened his arms to welcome Gu Chen.

"I can't go …"

The Green Qilin Killing God fell to the ground. His head was covered in blood.

"Big Brother Gu, you can't go …"

Zhao Rou, Lu Yichen and the rest of the eight girls had lost all their strength.

"I … I can still fight."

Ye Qingshuang was covered in blood. She tried to stand up shakily, but fell heavily to the ground.

"You can't go." Tears rolled down from her beautiful eyes. She was angry and unwilling at her own powerlessness at this moment. She was unable to change anything!

"Brother Gu, even if you agree to his conditions today, with the Man with a Bamboo Hat's personality, he might change his mind tomorrow."

Jiang Yu said. He tried to figure out a way to solve the situation, but to no avail.

Just like how he could not divine that the Samsara Cultivator was the Man with a Bamboo Hat, he could not divine anything about him.

Everyone tried to persuade Gu Chen to stay. Many of them tried to stand up and continue fighting. However, under the omnipresent dragon aura of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, their efforts were useless.

Gu Chen did not respond to anyone. He walked through the ruined battlefield and was about to reach the Man with a Bamboo Hat.

"Roar —"

The white ape roared. Its huge body crawled up from the ground, wanting to rush over.

"Hmph, don't get in the way!"

The Bamboo Hat Man stretched out his hand, and a fifty-thousand-feet-long golden dragon drilled out of the ground and wrapped itself around the white ape's body.

It could not move at all. It roared again and again, but the golden dragon wrapped around it tighter and tighter.

"Don't hurt it!" Gu Chen's eyes were gloomy.

"Haha Jie, don't worry. It's also my precious experimental subject. I can't bear to destroy it."

The Man with a Bamboo Hat laughed and put the white ape down again.

"Is this little guy also your test subject? What right do you have to act high and mighty and play with all living beings in the palm of your hand? "

"What right do you have to choose for me what path I should take?"

Gu Chen revealed a desolate smile.

"This world has always been ruled by the strong. The strong make the rules, and the weak follow them!"

Man with a bamboo hat's eyes shone brightly.

Just as Gu Chen was about to continue speaking, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed out from behind him.

She dashed towards the Man with a Bamboo Hat without a care for her own safety. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and a golden divine sword appeared in her hand!

"Lanchu!"

Gu Chen was shocked. He tried to stop her, but he could not catch her!

Ji Lanchu grasped the Kunlun Thearch Sword tightly. Her pretty face was filled with determination, and the Dragon Phoenix True Fire emitted from her body.

"I, Ji Lanchu of the Ji family, with the last Dragon Phoenix bloodline, will use my soul and my blood to capture the Kunlun Dragon Soul and seal the Dragon Veins!"

Her body rippled with a mysterious and inexplicable aura. She gripped the Kunlun Emperor Sword with both hands and thrust it toward the Bamboo Hat Man!

"Haha Jie, you want to sacrifice yourself to activate the ancient technique and take away my control over the Dragon Veins."

The Man with a Bamboo Hat had a hint of fear in his eyes. This Ji Lanchu had obtained the inheritance of the dragon nest. She was the only person who could control the Dragon Veins using orthodox methods.

If she was stronger and not as weak as she was now, she might really be able to take away his control over the Dragon Veins.

After all, he had only managed to control the Dragon Veins by borrowing the special phenomenon of the Sun and Moon colliding with each other.

Unfortunately, if it was just an "if", it would be extremely difficult for Ji Lanchu to take away his control over the Dragon Veins even if she sacrificed herself!

"Like a moth flying into a flame, you are seeking your own death!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat suddenly raised his hand. Surging Dragon Qi erupted!

Ji Lanchu had already given up hope of survival. She gripped the Kunlun Sword tightly and slashed at the Dragon Qi as she advanced!

"Gu Chen, if my life can be exchanged for yours, then everything will be worth it."

Ji Lanchu's beautiful eyes were filled with gentleness at this moment. She injected all of her essence, energy, and spirit into this sword.

The dragon's roar shook the nine heavens. The Kunlun Sword erupted with an unprecedented dazzling flame. She was using her life to activate this sword!

"I am invincible!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat felt the pressure. He suddenly let out a long roar and struck out with his palm!

Boom —

An earth-shattering force poured out. Ji Lanchu's Kunlun Thearch Sword flew out of her hand. She was also sent flying like a kite with a broken string!

She had turned into a bloody figure. Gu Chen could only watch helplessly as her life force slowly seeped away. He roared in sorrow. "No!"

He rushed forward. Ignoring the ferocity of the energy storm, he hugged her. Then, the two of them tumbled out of the void and landed heavily on the ground.

"Lanchu, Lanchu!"

Gu Chen struggled to get up. He hugged the injured Ji Lanchu and cried out in despair.

Ji Lanchu's life force gradually dissipated. A sad but beautiful smile appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Gu Chen. I can't help you at all …"

"Why were you so stupid? Why were you so stupid? "Gu Chen's tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

"Haha, Jie, what a stupid woman. How dare you try to go against me!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat said fiercely. He still had a lingering fear from the shock just now.

"Gu Chen, she's dead for sure. Don't be sad for a dead woman. Make a choice!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat's patience was gradually running out from this large group of people's suicidal attacks like moths flying into a flame.

"From now on, I'll only give you ten breaths of time to consider! Either obey me, or I'll kill all the people you cherish one by one! "

He looked at all of Gu Chen's family and friends inside and outside the Kunlun Ruins with an aggressive gaze.

Gu Chen hugged Ji Lanchu. The tears at the corner of his eyes instantly evaporated as soon as they fell.

"What right do you have to make me make a choice? Why should I do as you say? "

You said that the strong are respected in this world and that you can set the rules, but I want to break this rule! "

He slowly placed Ji Lanchu's body on the ground while he stood up.

He raised his head, and his eyes were bloodshot!

"Break the rule? What can you do now? You can't even protect your own woman. "

The Man with a Bamboo Hat did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Chen raised his hand. In front of him, a grotesquely shaped stone that was riddled with holes appeared.

The stone's entire body was surging with a colorful glow, revealing an ancient and desolate aura!

"Time Stone …"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat's pupils constricted slightly, but he soon disapproved.

"So what if it's the Time Stone? Not to mention that you're already at the end of your rope and can't unleash its power, even if you're at your peak, with your half-baked Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist, you won't be able to unleash even a ten thousandth of its power …"
