You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

"Stop!" The three elders shouted in unison, trying to stop Gu Changyuan's attack.

Regardless, Zhu Changming was, after all, the sect's law enforcement elder, who had been in charge of criminal law for many years. If the Holy Son were to kill him with a single blow in front of hundreds of disciples, what would become of the sect's reputation?

However, Gu Changyuan's wrist did not stop; instead, it pressed down even faster.

"today!"

"Even if a celestial being were to descend to earth, this old dog must die."

"Gu Changyuan, don't be so arrogant!"

"Form ranks!"

The elder wielding the sword roared, and the three of them instantly connected. The pressure of their Nascent Soul stage cultivation was released without reservation, and three powerful spiritual energies surged from their palms, converging rapidly three feet above Zhu Changming's head.

hum!

A thick, solid tri-colored light shield suddenly appeared.

The shield shimmered with light, and mysterious runes seemed to move about within it. The spiritual pressure it emitted caused the disciples within a ten-foot radius to gasp for breath and retreat repeatedly.

The three early-stage Nascent Soul experts joined forces, their momentum as imposing as a mountain, pressing down straight upon them.

The instant the light shield took shape.

Gu Changyuan pressed his hand down heavily.

The next second, a visible ring of air surged outward from the point of impact.

However, the Light Shield is still there.

Gu Changyuan's hand was pressed against Zhu Changtian's skull less than three inches above it, and he could no longer press it down.

Zhu Changming stared wide-eyed at the hand so close to his face, his crotch damp and emitting a foul odor.

The three elders exhaled a breath of stale air in unison.

Only after that brief contact did they realize how fierce and violent the Holy Son's power was!

It took the three of them working together to barely hold them off.

The elder with the sword steadied himself, attempting to salvage the situation. After a moment's thought, he spoke to Gu Changyuan:

"Holy Son, one should always leave room for maneuver! Even if Elder Zhu has made a mistake, he is still a sect elder and should be taken back to the Enforcement Hall for strict punishment according to sect rules. How can you arbitrarily resort to private punishment and disregard..."

"Leave a way out?"

Gu Changyuan waved his hand to interrupt the elder, turned to him, and asked:

"Where were you when that old dog tried to shatter my dantian and sever my path to cultivation?"

"Where were you when he invoked the sect's ironclad rules to suppress me on the spot?"

"So now you're bringing up the sect rules with me?"

"It's too late."

"boom!!!"

Gu Changyuan's aura surged once again.

It soared into the sky, forcefully breaking through the combined aura of the three elders!

Seeing this, the three elders' expressions changed slightly.

The disciple who was standing closer to the sidelines groaned as he was forced back several steps by the sudden, terrifying pressure, feeling a tightness in his chest.

When she looked up again and saw Gu Changyuan's figure in the arena, a look of horror gradually crept onto her face.

Is a mere wisp of aura enough to be so terrifying?

The three elders' expressions changed immediately upon seeing Gu Changyuan's renewed outburst.

Even with the three of them working together, Gu Changyuan was barely able to hold on, and the light shields under his command could shatter at any moment!

"Maintain it at all costs!"

The elder wielding the sword roared, and the three of them dared not hold back in the slightest, pouring their life's cultivation into the light shield above their heads without regard for the cost.

However, this did not delay the situation in the slightest.

But that's just an illusion.

The shackles that had bound Gu Changyuan for so long were actually loosened under his full exertion of energy.

next second.

An aura several times stronger than before burst forth from his body!

Half-step into the Divine Transformation Realm!

Sensing the aura emanating from Gu Changyuan, the three elders opposite him looked as if they had swallowed flies.

The surrounding disciples gasped in surprise at the sight.

"A breakthrough in the heat of battle?!"

"The Holy Son actually broke through the barrier while fighting against three elders?!"

In the path of cultivation, breakthrough opportunities are rare, and one must calm the mind and concentrate the spirit. Who dares to trigger a change in realm during a confrontation?

The slightest mistake could result in a backlash of spiritual energy, shattering one's meridians!

But Gu Changyuan not only did it, he succeeded.

The breath was smooth and stable, without any sign of being superficial.

This shows that Gu Changyuan's breakthrough was a natural outcome.

In fact, this aura is in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!

Before the three could react, Gu Changyuan moved again.

A murderous gaze fell upon the two of them.

"die."

Each word uttered was like a judge drawing his brush.

Gu Changyuan poured all his spiritual energy into his right arm without holding back.

The hand suspended in mid-air suddenly shone with golden light, expanding by a circle, and it seemed as if molten gold was flowing beneath its skin. The light made everyone involuntarily squint.

The Sky-Piercing Giant Handprint!

The life-or-death technique that instantly ignites a massive amount of spiritual energy, while powerful enough, also places an enormous burden on the user.

Gu Changyuan used it without hesitation!

This shows Gu Changyuan's determination to kill.

"Explode!!!"

With a fierce shout, the giant golden palm slammed down amidst the horrified gazes of the three elders.

"Crack... Bang!!!"

The three-colored light shield couldn't even hold for a moment.

Enveloped in fragments of the light shield, the giant golden hand crashed down.

Before the palm strike even arrived, the intense pressure had already caused the ground around Zhu Changming to crack inch by inch.

Zhu Changming froze completely.

Gu Changyuan's overwhelming and unparalleled pressure pinned him to the spot, preventing even his fingertips from trembling.

He could only stare wide-eyed, his bloodshot eyes reflecting the ever-growing golden giant hand.

Seeing this, Zhu Changming's eyes widened in fury, and he knelt on the ground, letting out a roar:

"No!!!"

The palm fell.

Gu Changyuan's palm landed firmly on Zhu Changming's crown.

There were no scenes of blood and gore.

Everything happened silently.

Zhu Changming's head was smashed by Gu Changyuan!

Before the red and white filth could even be splashed, most of it was instantly evaporated by the force of the palm.

Then, the headless body collapsed limply.

Just as a faint glimmer of nascent soul light was about to escape from the dantian, it was gently swept away by the lingering aftershocks of the violent palm strike and completely annihilated.

Both body and soul perished.

The disciples around them, witnessing this scene, felt their souls tremble with fear.

Too bad!

A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, having offended Gu Changyuan, couldn't even escape with his Nascent Soul form.

And most importantly, this was done despite the obstruction of three elders.

If it weren't for the three elders stopping him, Zhu Changming would probably be dead by now.

Because they were too close, the three elders were hit head-on by the recoil. They all groaned and staggered back half a step, leaving deep footprints on the ground.

Although they were not injured, the three of them looked extremely pale.

Despite their combined efforts to stop it, they still couldn't stop it.

How could the Holy Son have so brazenly killed the Enforcement Elder right under their noses?

Too strong.

That's too ruthless.

The three elders looked at Gu Changyuan, their feelings indescribable.

Gu Changyuan didn't even glance at them.

Then, Gu Changyuan slowly withdrew his hand.

His palms remained fair and clean, and his slender fingers had distinct knuckles, without a trace of blood or filth.

After a moment of silence, a very soft chuckle broke the stillness.

"Oh."

"This is the kind of stuff..."

"Does he even deserve to be in charge of the sect's criminal law?"
