Chapter 513

Gu Chen's expression froze slightly.

In the Kunlun Ruins, after Gu Chen forcefully grew up, he already possessed extraordinary abilities. If he was willing, he could indeed help the Ghost Emperor break free.

However, at that time, he chose to help Lanchu change her fate and help all the heavily injured allies recover. He helped the Ghost Emperor sever the Heavenly Dao's shackles without lifting a finger.

Actually, with his cultivation base at that time, he could sense that the Ghost Emperor was outside the Kunlun Ruins, but he did not do that.

There was only one reason. The Ghost Emperor was too powerful. If he severed the Heavenly Dao's shackles and died, the Ghost Emperor would undoubtedly become the strongest person in the Kunlun Continent.

Gu Chen did not trust him. He was worried that after he died, the Ghost Emperor would become fearless and bring disaster to the Kunlun Continent. Therefore, he chose to ignore it.

Initially, he thought that the Ghost Emperor would not have thought of this. He did not expect the Ghost Emperor to see through his thoughts.

He was truly a shrewd old man. The other party was too shrewd.

"I'm about to head overseas. When I return, I promise to help you sever the Heavenly Dao's shackles."

Gu Chen avoided the sensitive topic and promised on the spot.

The Ghost Emperor seemed to have expected this. After a moment of silence, he spoke. "How confident are you in this trip?"

"I don't know, but I, Gu Chen, have always been a man of my word," Gu Chen said proudly.

"Hmph, you don't even have your Tyrant Bone anymore. I'm afraid you won't be able to return after this trip. I'm making a loss."

The Ghost Emperor said unhappily.

"Senior, if you're worried, you can try fighting me. I believe you'll naturally have a judgment after fighting me."

The corners of Gu Chen's lips curled up.

Those words shocked Huang Pingzhang, Zhao Rou, and the rest who were following behind Gu Chen. Meanwhile, the Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes.

He scrutinized the calm Gu Chen and chuckled coldly. "Brat, I'm afraid you're not here to promise me anything. You're here to fight, right?"

Gu Chen had a calm smile on his face. "Senior, where has the trust between people gone? Junior's promise is, of course, true. However, Junior is about to head to the unknown seas and needs to understand my strength after my rebirth. Only then will I be able to better assess the situation. "

"In this continent, the only one who can be my opponent is you. Please do not hesitate to give me some pointers."

Gu Chen's words were very polite, but the Ghost Emperor was infuriated. This little fox!

His words sounded dignified, but the Ghost Emperor had lived for thirty thousand years and had long seen through people's hearts.

The reason why Gu Chen wanted to fight him, other than the reason he said, was that he wanted to intimidate him!

If Gu Chen left the Kunlun Continent, he would undoubtedly be the strongest expert in the entire Kunlun Continent. This fellow was worried that he would attack his family or friends!

He knew what the other party was thinking, but the Ghost Emperor couldn't refuse.

He wanted to know how strong Gu Chen was after his rebirth. Only by knowing this would he be able to judge his chances of returning alive from overseas.

"Hmph, are you that confident that you can defeat me? Without the divinity brought by the Tyrant Heavenly Bone, you can't even defeat the original Huangfu Wuji, right? "

The Ghost Emperor felt that his usually cold body had been overheated by Gu Chen, so he mocked.

"My divinity far exceeds your estimation, senior. Don't worry, senior," Gu Chen said calmly.

"This is the Ghastly Ruins. I can borrow the power of the netherworld. If we really fight, it'll be a piece of cake for me to beat you up!" The Ghost Emperor deliberately revealed a fierce expression.

"I have the Kunlun Emperor Sword."

Gu Chen raised his left hand, and the divine weapon with the highest attack power in the continent appeared in his hand.

The Ghost Emperor's expression froze slightly before he smiled sinisterly. "Since you want to fight, let's fight!"

Hence, in the sky above the Ghastly Ruins, the two men who stood at the peak of the Kunlun Continent engaged in a shocking battle.

This battle was not as earth-shattering as the battle in the Kunlun Ruins. It would still be praised many years later. Only a few dozen people from the Heavenly Star Sect witnessed it.

However, this battle left an unforgettable impression on the people who were watching. Both sides were infinitely close to the limit of the Heavenly Being Stage.

The result of the battle was that the Ghost Emperor's hair was disheveled. He ran back to the netherworld and entered the coffin that he was sleeping in.

"Brat, I'll settle the score with you when you come back from overseas!"

He was beaten up by Gu Chen to the point that the Heavenly Being Stage Five Decay almost befell him again. He was extremely aggrieved.

However, even though he was aggrieved, he was already at ease with Lin Huang's strength.

He had clearly lost the Tyrant Heavenly Bone, but for some reason, this brat had become even stronger!

Especially his physical body, he had displayed a bunch of divinities that he did not have before. It was even more unbelievable.

"Senior, I'll take my leave."

Seeing that he had convinced the Ghost Emperor and that the battle was satisfying, Gu Chen turned around and left while laughing.

When he left the Ghastly Ruins, he saw Zhao Rou and the rest with their mouths wide open and their jaws agape.

Initially, they thought that even if their sect master's strength was still there after his rebirth, he would lose half of his combat strength because he no longer had the Tyrant Heavenly Bone. Who would have thought that his body seemed to have undergone an unbelievable change and had countless divinities?

With such a powerful Gu Chen, why would he need their protection? If they insisted on following him overseas, they would only be a burden!

Gu Chen successfully convinced everyone and left the Heavenly Star Sect. After he was done with everything, he returned to the Kunlun Ruins.

Lanchu was still sleeping in the dragon's nest. She slept so peacefully and beautifully like a fairy who was not tainted by the mortal world.

The dragon's nest was already protected by Mu Ziyu's people. She and Lanchu were like sisters. Even though she knew that no one in the world dared to touch the Tyrant's woman, she still decided to protect her until she woke up.

Ye Qingshuang was also here. Apart from that, there was also the green ox.

The green ox was powerful and had once protected Lanchu for a long time, so Gu Chen decided to let it stay here.

During the time he was not in the Kunlun Continent, he needed someone reliable to ensure Lanchu's safety.

For this reason, he even handed the Kunlun Mirror to the green ox and Mu Ziyu, leaving only the Kunlun Thearch Sword for himself.

After all, overseas was dangerous. With the Kunlun Thearch Sword protecting him, he would be safer.

The green ox originally only wanted to follow Gu Chen overseas. In its eyes, following Gu Chen and protecting him was the right thing to do.

However, Gu Chen convinced it. Considering that Ji Lanchu was the most likely person to become its mistress, the loyal green ox agreed.

Gu Chen stepped into the ice layer and asked everyone to leave first. Then, he flew to the dragon's nest.

Looking at the pretty face that was sleeping soundly, Gu Chen's eyes revealed a rare gentleness.

Time was of the essence. He could not wait for Lanchu to wake up before leaving.

However, he believed that they would definitely meet again. The two of them had experienced life and death, and there were many things they had yet to say.

"When I come back, I'll marry you."

Gu Chen lowered his head and whispered into Ji Lanchu's ear.

He had already decided that when he returned, he would definitely marry this young lady.

It would be best if she agreed. If she did not, he would force himself on her.
