The Ancient Gods' Whisper

When Gu Jianlin asked this question, he didn't really plan to do anything drastic to the Pseudo Ancestor, as the other party could very well be the relative of an acquaintance. If he acted ruthlessly and all-out at once, the scene could become rather unpleasant.

What he hadn't anticipated was that, as Dark Energy began to gather on his fingertips, the opponent's breathing suddenly shifted rhythm.

Breathing Technique·Distanceless Realm!

Tang Yun, like an unfeeling killing machine, appeared as a blurred shadow behind him. The broken sword erupted with piercing Sword Qi and slashed down mercilessly!

The others' pupils contracted sharply. The Sword Sect Path is renowned for its devastating power—one strike could leave someone gravely injured, if not dead!

Boom!

The Sword Qi unleashed by the broken sword poured onto a sturdy skeleton structure, immediately scattering!

Unbeknownst to them, Gu Jianlin had already planted his hands on his blade. Behind him loomed a terrifying golden skeletal figure, its rock-solid bones bathed in golden flames, with echoes of hysterical laughter reverberating faintly in the void.

He turned around, and the four Ghost Hands behind him roared fiercely, swinging their fists forward!

The sheer force carried by the four Ghost Hands was overwhelming. Even as Tang Yun tried to block with the broken sword, she was blasted away like a cannonball, slamming hard into the armory wall, leaving behind a deep, human-shaped indentation.

Gu Jianlin noticed that this young girl's will seemed no longer human.

She was entirely controlled by the Ancestor within her.

Almost simultaneously, faint vibrations began resonating across the massive central lounge.

Platters, forks, table knives, fruit knives, metal table edges, and even tablet computers.

Everything with an edge trembled violently.

The sharp corners were all pointed at him.

Fifth Order Sword Soul, Sword Control Technique!

Sword Qi surged from every direction, clearly aimed at him alone, ready to erupt!

Within Tang Yun's body, metallic collision sounds rang out. She indifferently tilted her neck, the crimson veins in her eyes growing deeper. A chilling frost gathered in her palm, inch by inch solidifying.

Eventually, an Ice Sword fully formed, its cold aura swirling as wind and snow howled!

Ancient Forbidden Curse, Yishui Han!

Accompanied by another activation of the Breathing Technique, Distanceless Realm, she struck decisively, with Sword Qi enveloped in a frosty storm!

Gu Jianlin felt as though he was thrust into an icy world, a blizzard of Sword Qi bursting forth in front of him, while sharp forces from all directions prepared to strike—a true deathtrap!

Her sword strikes stood at the pinnacle within the Fifth Rank. The Dark Shock's power was insufficient to counter without prolonged charge time; it wouldn't resist but rather be torn apart.

Even the incoming omnidirectional Sword Qi posed a challenge, as the Skeleton Giant couldn't provide complete, impenetrable defense.

How troublesome.

"Do you really see yourself as unbeatable?"

For a fleeting instant, a horrifying illusion flashed before his eyes—a pitch-black sky twisted with clouds, with spiraling massive thunderbolts raining down, as if ready to incinerate the entire world into ashes.

In his mind, bizarre and complex spells faintly surfaced, seemingly engraved deep within his soul.

Boom!

The Skeleton Giant roared, the four Ghost Hands slammed hard against each other, and black flashes of lightning gathered frenetically in their palms, surging with dark sparks. Thunder streaks appeared and vanished instantaneously!

With the Ghost Hands outstretched, a slender black Thunderbolt Spear took form, emitting sharp, bird-like cries. In that moment, all the lights across the central lounge shattered instantly—darkness descended.

Only the flickering flashes of lightning charged into the depths!

Ancient Forbidden Curse, All Heavens Divine Thunder!

Furthermore, it was augmented with a combined skill approach, compounded with Dark Energy as its driving force!

"Quick, erect the Barrier!"

The Omega operatives shouted loudly!

Without hesitation, the Priests activated the Holy Protection Barrier, enveloping all directions!

Boom!

A massive black flash streaked briefly, followed by rolling thunder!

The Ice Sword was forcibly shattered, and the searing lightning surged forward unstoppably!

Once again, Tang Yun was blasted into the metal wall, now engulfed entirely by radiant lightning. Her black robe was scorched clean off, exposing jade-like skin glimmering translucently. She couldn't help letting out a pained gasp!

Almost simultaneously, Gu Jianlin's Skeleton Giant began to tremble amidst the erupting Sword Qi. Its solid bone structure revealed countless cracks, while surrounding Sword Qi suddenly converged sharply!

Countless sharp edges wrapped by Sword Qi swirled like a storm!

Gu Jianlin's breathing shifted rhythm as well, and a chill moonlight surged forward like tidal waves!

With an echoing boom, the Realm of Freedom shattered, dispersing all Extraordinary Ability.

Numerous metallic objects fell to the ground, scattered everywhere.

The Skeleton Giant dispersed into smoke, and even the Ghost Transformation state was undone.

Tang Yun, who had been trying to struggle and rise, suddenly felt an intense pain sear her shoulder!

The Jiuyin pierced through her left shoulder, eliciting a muffled groan.

"Don't resist."

Gu Jianlin's spirituality was entirely depleted. He retrieved a bottle of Blue Blood from his pocket, drank it expressionlessly, and gathered black flashes at his fingertips once more: "Answer my question."

Tang Yun couldn't tolerate such humiliation. Though her own face remained emotionless, her blood-red eyes deepened further, hinting at some terrifying creature roaring, on the brink of breaking out!

At this moment, Gu Jianlin gazed coldly into her eyes, golden light fleeting within his pupils!

Boom!

The soul within Tang Yun's consciousness seemed stunned, suddenly falling into slumber.

Her eyes regained clarity, revealing a dazed expression despite her aching body.
