At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"boom--!!"

The eagle's claws met the dragon's claws.

A deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky, sending shockwaves surging and making it impossible for the people below to open their eyes.

Only a few martial artists with decent cultivation, such as Xu Yuan, managed to withstand the storm and look towards the horizon.

To the astonishment of the monks, including Xu Yuan, Xiao Yu, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now unable to gain any advantage over Gu Changkong.

The two were like magnets with opposite poles, firmly welded together.

The stalemate continued for a long time.

"Your Azure Dragon Void Spirit is actually a level two Martial Soul!!!"

Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with surprise.

Didn't they say that Gu Changkong only broke through to the eighth rank a few years ago? How come he not only cultivated four eighth-rank illusory spirits, but one of them even reached the level of a second-rank martial soul!

With his immense strength, he was even stronger than him, reaching the strength of six oxen!

Gu Changkong did not reply; he simply waved his free left hand abruptly.

At the same time, the white tiger phantom behind him also slammed down its huge tiger claw.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Yu also gathered his fingers into claws and met the attack head-on.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

True Qi and shockwaves surged above the Demon Slaying Division of Anling Prefecture. Many people instinctively covered their ears, which were throbbing with pain, but no one wanted to leave.

A battle between eighth-level martial artists is extremely rare.

Many people never see it even once in their lifetime, so naturally everyone wants to see it.

"This is... my senior brother?"

In the distance, Yuan Yin, who was riding a BMW alongside Mu Yang, was startled when he saw the several illusory figures engaged in fierce combat in the distance.

Mu Yang, sitting on Xiao Hei's back, was equally surprised.

He had thought that the fighting of a seventh-level martial artist, with its moves capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, was already superhuman.

Unexpectedly, the battle between eighth-level martial artists was even more intense.

Especially their intertwined martial spirits, which create an astonishing fighting force.

Even with his current strength, he is probably no match for either of them.

"I really need to keep practicing!"

Mu Yang sighed inwardly, but was not discouraged.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Changkong and Xiao Yu fought for a full hour, shaking the walls of the city's Demon Slaying Division until cracks appeared, before finally stopping.

After their final exchange, Xiao Yu's figure shot backward.

He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gave Gu Changkong a deep look, then gave Xu Yuan a retreating look before leaving without a word.

Gu Changkong did not chase after him, but simply hovered in mid-air with his hands behind his back.

If someone were to observe closely, they would surely notice that his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were trembling slightly, and there was a hint of weariness in his eyes.

With the blessing of four ethereal spirits, their strength seems extraordinary.

However, the cost is that the burden on the soul and body is far greater than usual.

If he hadn't been physically exceptional, he would have been seriously injured, not just tired.

After Xiao Yu and the others had gone some distance, his chest puffed out slightly, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Pass down the order: immediately have the people from the Internal Affairs Hall organize a rescue. Anyone affected in front of the gate today will receive free medical treatment!"

Having said that, he turned and flew into the inner city.

"It's finally over!"

"As expected of General Gu, he even managed to repel a top-ranking constable from the Six Doors!"

"Who do you think General Gu is? He's the master of our Cold-Noodles Little Killer God, the eldest disciple of our Liangzhou Garrison Commander, not just any ordinary evil-suppressing general!"

After Gu Changkong left, whispers rose and fell among the crowd.

"General Yuan, Brother Mu!"

Shortly after the war, Lu Zongsong, who was assisting the Imperial Household Department in managing the crowd, saw Mu Yang and Yuan Yin riding over.

After a brief greeting to his colleagues, Lu Zongsong led the two men to the inner city.

When the three entered the council hall, they happened to see Gu Changkong, who had just finished holding his breath and calming his mind.

"Junior brother, Muyang, you're back."

Gu Changkong, who had changed into a clean long robe, sat in the head seat.

He succinctly recounted the ins and outs of what had happened that day.

After listening, Mu Yang realized that this matter seemed to be related to him as well.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Lu Zongsong would take the blame for killing Mingjing.

Keep in mind, that was an eighth-level martial artist and a seventh-level martial artist. Lu Zongsong is truly benevolent!

It's decided, from now on all sparring with Brother Lu will be free!

"Senior brother, although you managed to subdue Xiao Yu and those bald monks from the Vajra Temple today, judging from their appearance, I'm afraid they won't let this go easily!" Yuan Yin frowned, his words full of worry.

While the other party's purpose in coming here may be to avenge his disciple, it is likely that they also intend to use this as an excuse to cause trouble.

Since this was merely a pretext and not their real intention, they will certainly not stop here after this setback.

"Um."

Gu Changkong nodded, his expression grave: "Xiao Yu is a narrow-minded and vindictive man. He will not let this go so easily after suffering a loss today."

"That old bald monk from the Vajra Temple probably harbors resentment, otherwise he wouldn't have openly teamed up with the Six Doors."

"For the next period of time, you all need to be vigilant and avoid leaving the city unless absolutely necessary."

Xiao Yu couldn't beat him, nor could he possibly make a move against Yuan Yin and the others.

It's not about being concerned about saving face.

This was purely because it would break the unspoken rules between the Demon Slayer Bureau and the Six Doors.

In battles between players of the same rank, life and death are determined by fate.

But if he bullies the weak, then his master, Xu Xinghe, will have to come out of the Wan Yao Mountain camp for a stroll.

However, just because Xiao Yu dared not do so did Xu Yuan.

Moreover, even if Xu Yuan doesn't do it himself, it doesn't mean he wouldn't dare to hire someone to kill him!

"Senior brother, you mean the Shuoyin Sect?"

Yuan Yin immediately understood his senior brother's subtext.

The Shuoyin Sect is one of the top powers in Liangzhou. It has a secretive location, accepts very few disciples, and mainly focuses on assassinations.

In the early years, before any changes occurred, the Shuoyin Sect never accepted orders to assassinate members of the Demon Slaying Division or other top-tier forces.

After all, no matter how strong the Shuoyin Sect is, it is still just a sect.

If you really don't care about anything, you'll offend everyone and you won't be able to survive.

However, since the internal changes occurred, the other party seems to be intentionally breaking this rule.

Although no action has been taken against the Demon Slayer Division, many direct descendants of top forces have still been assassinated.

"News came yesterday that a Seeker of the Domain had died in Guangping County. Judging from the wounds, it looks like the methods used by the Shuoyin Sect."

Gu Changkong said.

"Are they crazy? How dare they take a job from our Demon Slayer Division?" Yuan Yin's eyes widened slightly, finding it hard to believe.

Even though their Demon Slayer Division's power is not as great as before because of the Six Doors.

Even if it's not as good as before, it's not something a small top-tier sect can mess with.

Putting everything else aside, any one of the five Great Generals Who Suppress Evil could easily destroy the Shuoyin Sect.

"If they have the backing of the Six Doors, then naturally there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do," Gu Changkong said calmly.

However, beneath his calm tone, he couldn't hide his murderous intent.

Brothers, you really need to take medicine promptly when you're sick!

I went to the hospital yesterday and they gave me a prescription of traditional Chinese medicine.

I don't know if it's because of the medicine, but this morning when I woke up, although I still had a throbbing sensation in the right temple of my head, there was no obvious pain.

I hope that after completing this course of treatment, I will fully recover!

begging!
