“Unappreciative!” The two people across from Gu Duxing never expected that he would remain silent and suddenly launch into a fierce battle. They both shouted angrily and drew their swords to meet him!
Gu Duxing snorted, his body suddenly accelerating, and finally spoke…
But it was a cold, chilling shout: “Ten thousand swords, I am the emperor!”
His body suddenly transformed into a streak of flowing light!
The two imperial level warriors were initially full of confidence, thinking that as second tier imperial level warriors, their combined attack against a mere newly promoted imperial level opponent would be an easy victory.
When Gu Duxing made his move, they both felt a sense of disdain rising from the depths of their hearts, thinking to themselves, can this really be the sword emperor? Although he had a strong presence, isn’t his speed just too slow?
Just as this thought emerged, Gu Duxing suddenly accelerated in the air!
Both of them were taken aback, quickly adjusting their attack strategy. They shifted from left and right to a staggered formation, which was their strongest combined attack method—one to block, the other to deliver a decisive kill!
It was usually a strategy that ensured victory.
But then, Gu Duxing coldly uttered five words akin to a ruler of the world: “Ten thousand swords, I am the emperor!”
The two nearly laughed out loud. With your speed, you dare to claim to be an emperor? Aren’t you afraid of the wind catching your tongue?
But soon after, they were struck with horror!
Because after Gu Duxing shouted those five words, his body suddenly accelerated for a second time! Moreover, this speed far surpassed the previous one by several folds!
The two could only hastily raise their swords for defense, but then they heard a “crack” sound. Gu Duxing, like a hurricane, mixed with thunder and storms, had already charged past them, not looking back, creating a sharp, whistling wind, swiftly disappearing into the jungle behind them!
A thunderous crash echoed as dozens of large trees fell in chaos behind them, raising a cloud of dust and obscuring the view.
The two remained motionless.
After a long while, the one in front finally tried to move his hands, seemingly feeling that he was fine. But what had that chill been earlier? He turned to look at his brother and casually asked, “Are you alright?”
The one behind couldn’t help but chuckle, saying, “He’s just fast…”
But before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock.
Because he clearly saw that his older brother, who had been facing away from him, was about to turn around to talk, and he had already said, “Are you alright?”
Then his brother twisted his neck to look back; however, he distinctly noticed that while the upper half of his brother’s neck moved, the lower half remained still as it twisted around.
The two halves of the neck seemed like two grinding wheels that had come together, where someone pushed from above, but the grinding wheel itself didn’t move…
At the same time, as his brother turned, a faint red line appeared at the junction of the two halves of the neck.
He stared dumbfoundedly at his older brother, who had raised his hand: “You, you, you…”
The front imperial level warrior turned back to look at his brother, frowning in confusion and asking, “What’s wrong with me…?”
Just as he spoke the first three words, a sudden jet of blood erupted, launching his head up into the air, still in shock as he uttered the last word: “Angry…?”
The latter imperial level warrior screamed in terror and then felt something sticky in his throat. When he touched it with his hand, he couldn’t help but scream, looking down in disbelief.
But as he looked down, fresh blood suddenly spurted from his throat, and a head rolled forward, surprisingly still able to see a large tree charging towards him.
Thud!
The head slammed heavily into the tree! All thoughts came to a halt!
These two were truly unfortunate! Given their actual cultivation level and combat strength, even if they were no match for Gu Duxing, they shouldn’t have been killed so quickly; they could’ve engaged in a bit of a struggle, and it was very likely that they could have suffered mutual defeat without losing their lives!
