From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

Completely unprepared for Jia Shun's attack, Gu Hanying was caught off guard and had no chance to defend herself. Jia Shun's palm was aimed straight at her heart; if it had hit, she feared she would have lost her life.

Whoosh!

In the critical moment, Gu Hanying's body suddenly retreated, as if she had been pulled away by a force.

"Um?"

Jia Shun frowned as he looked at Gu Hanying after his palm struck empty air. What kind of movement technique was that?

Gu Hanying stood up again and looked at Chen Shi gratefully. If Chen Shi hadn't pulled her over with his breath, she would probably have been in danger.

Gu Hanying didn't expect Jia Shun to dare to lay a hand on her, but Chen Shi was always on guard against him!

"Jia Shun!"

Looking at Jia Shun again, Gu Hanying's face was full of anger.

"You're going to kill me!"

"I must avenge Lu'er. Since Fourth Miss is biased towards that little beast, there's nothing I can do."

"Jia Shun! This is insubordination!"

"Up and down? Ha."

Jia Shun suddenly sneered, looking at Gu Hanying with a mocking expression.

"Within the Marquis's mansion, you are master and I am servant. But here in the remote depths of Yongqiu Mountain, you are merely an eighth-rank martial artist, while I am a seventh-rank! Tell me, who is superior and who is inferior?"

"you……"

Gu Hanying was speechless for a moment, then frowned and looked at Jia Shun with a serious expression.

Although shocked by Jia Shun's wolfish nature, Jia Shun was right about one thing: this was deep in Yongqiu Mountain, and even if he killed her, no one would know.

Since that's the case, Jia Shun naturally doesn't need to worry about anything.

Gu Hanying said nothing more and gripped the spear in her hand tightly.

The only way to survive is to fight!

"You, come here."

At this moment, Jia Shun waved to the man who was with him.

Gu Hanying was actually with Chen Shi, and Jia Shun suddenly attacked Gu Hanying, which startled the man.

At this moment, Jia Shun called out, and he finally came to his senses.

He looked at Jia Shun with some fear and approached him cautiously.

"Thanks to your extraordinary abilities, I was able to find Chen Shi."

Jia Shun smiled and spoke, but then suddenly struck out with his palm.

With a muffled thud, it struck the man squarely in the chest, instantly shattering his internal organs.

The man's eyes widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground and remaining motionless.

"Now no one will see it at all."

Glancing at the man's corpse, Jia Shun snorted softly, then turned back to Chen Shi and Gu Hanying.

Chen Shi's expression was serious, while Gu Hanying's eyes flashed with anger. To kill someone to silence them, he didn't even spare his own companion. Jia Shun's ruthlessness exceeded their expectations.

Imagine, if they show such ruthlessness to their own people, how much more so to others?

The two exchanged a glance, already prepared for a fight to the death.

"Prepare to die!"

With a cold shout, Jia Shun gave the two no time to react and pounced on them.

The two did not back down, but went straight to meet them.

Gu Hanying flicked her spear, and the tip instantly transformed into more than a dozen points of cold light, enveloping Jia Shun.

"A showpiece."

Jia Shun looked disdainful and swept his beast claws across, deflecting all the cold glint.

As the saying goes, brute force can overcome any technique!

The difference in skill level is too great; any technique is meaningless.

But the next moment, a dark dagger came crashing down on his head!

That shot just now was merely a cover; the real killing move was Chen Shi's.

Over the past two weeks, Chen Shi and Gu Hanying have killed more than ten strange beasts and fought against treasure thieves several times, their teamwork becoming increasingly seamless.

"court death!"

Jia Shun's face darkened, he let out a cold snort, and slapped out with his other beast claw.

clang!

Just like before, it felt like striking steel; the immense recoil made Chen Shi's wrist ache and go numb. If he hadn't been prepared, he probably would have dropped the knife.

However, Jia Shun received the force of four thousand jin squarely, and his body couldn't help but pause, his feet sinking an inch instantly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Hanying thrust her spear forward again, aiming straight for Jia Shun's ribs.

But the next moment, the spear could no longer penetrate even an inch.

Jia Shun grabbed the spearhead with one of his beast claws.

Gu Hanying's face darkened, and she forcefully shook the spear, trying to shake off Jia Shun's beastly claws. However, being formed from blood energy, it was like a divine weapon, and she couldn't budge it in the slightest.

Instead, Jia Shun pushed Gu Hanying backward with force, almost knocking her over.

Unable to match Jia Shun's strength, Gu Hanying decisively released her spear, formed claws with both hands, and charged forward.

At the same time, Chen Shi brandished his one-foot-long knife and charged forward again.

"bring it on!"

Jia Shun's gaze darkened. He released his spear and brandished his beast claws to meet the attack.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes in the mountains, the three fought together.

Martial artists are divided into nine ranks, each with a fundamental difference in skill level. Under equal circumstances, there is virtually no challenge that can be taken from a higher rank.

A ninth-rank cultivator possesses strength of several hundred jin, while an eighth-rank cultivator not only has double the strength but can also injure people with their blood energy. A ninth-rank cultivator simply cannot fight an eighth-rank cultivator.

The same applies to the eighth-rank versus the seventh-rank. Although there is no significant increase in strength, the blood energy is solidified, resembling divine weapons and demonic armor. The eighth-rank cannot break through the seventh-rank's defense at all.

However, Jia Shun has not yet mastered the seventh rank. At present, only the blood and qi in his arms have solidified, while the rest of his body has not. Thus, he still has the strength to fight.

Otherwise, Chen Shi and Gu Hanying would have simply run away.

However, in terms of both technique and combat experience, Jia Shun far surpassed Chen Shi and Gu Hanying. His pair of beast claws were not only fierce in attack but also impenetrable in defense. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than thirty rounds, and Chen Shi and Gu Hanying had not found the slightest opening.

Jia Shun's pair of beast claws were incredibly powerful; a single blow would result in serious injury, if not death. In other words, Chen Shi and Gu Hanying had no chance of making a mistake.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

"Damn it! I'll risk it!"

Seeing that he was becoming increasingly passive, taking advantage of Gu Hanying's restraint, Chen Shi pounced forward and, without regard for anything else, slashed at Jia Shun's waist and abdomen with his knife.

This is a desperate fighting style of exchanging injury for injury; Jia Shun either has to block or dodge, or he has to trade injuries with him.

Of course, given the power of Jia Shun's beast claws, Chen Shi would definitely be more seriously injured, and his life might even be in danger.

But the force of that 4,000-pound blow would certainly not be easy for Jia Shun to bear.

Don't forget, there's also Gu Hanying. Gu Hanying can take advantage of his illness and kill him!

"snort."

Faced with Chen Shi's stab, Jia Shun gave a cold smile.

Instead of dodging or parrying, he struck Chen Shi with a palm.

He actually wants to have his injury repaired!

This was completely unexpected by Chen Shi.

Jia Shun couldn't possibly be that stupid.

But there's no turning back now, and there's no time to think about it; he slashed down hard with his sword.

clang!

A piercing sound, accompanied by a violent recoil.

Chen Shi's eyes widened instantly, and he saw that Jia Shun's waist and abdomen were covered with large scales formed by blood energy.

Jia Shun is not at the early stage of the seventh rank, but at the middle stage; he has been hiding his strength all along!

"die!"

Before he could think any further, Jia Shun roared and slammed his beastly claws into Chen Shi's chest.

If Chen Shi were to be hit by this, even with his divine strength and powerful physique, he would likely be in grave danger.

"Be careful!"

In the critical moment, Gu Hanying shouted and met the attack with both palms.

Click!

But in a head-on confrontation, how could Gu Hanying be a match for Jia Shun? Her arm was instantly broken and fractured.

boom!

Immediately following was a muffled thud, and she and Chen Shi were sent flying.
