To Die for Family

The Divine Martial Marquis and the three Quasi-Immortal Kings grinned ferociously as they saw Gu Qingfeng rushing toward them.

"Good lad. Instead of running when you see us, you actually dare to take the initiative to attack. You certainly have some guts."

"Let me be the one to handle this kid."

The emaciated, skeletal Quasi-Immortal King leaped forward, opening his mouth to spit something out at Gu Qingfeng.

Boom!

An ancient bronze cauldron suddenly materialized before him, instantly expanding to hundreds of feet in size. The cauldron was square and surrounded by billions of mysterious, floating runes, shimmering with immortal light.

Suddenly, the billions of mysterious runes transformed into nine bronze-cast flood dragons, each ten thousand feet long. Their bodies coiled and writhed, heads raised in a long roar, emitting an aura of boundless terror.

The Nine-Flood-Dragon Bronze Cauldron!

This was this Quasi-Immortal King's life-bound artifact. It had long since reached the level of a Quasi-Immortal King Armament. Once he advanced to the Immortal King realm in the future, this treasure would evolve into a true Immortal King Armament.

This cauldron was perfect for both offense and defense. In battle, the nine massive flood dragons formed by natural laws were enough to crush all opposition.

However...

Facing this terrifying Nine-Flood-Dragon Bronze Cauldron, the corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth curled into a look of disdain. "Heh heh heh... You dare brandish a weapon before this Emperor? You're just making a fool of yourself!"

As Gu Qingfeng spoke, he waved his large hand violently.

Whoosh!

Six Immortal King Armaments, each radiating different beams of immortal light but possessing equally astonishing power, appeared before him.

They were the God-Extinguishing Spear, the Seven-Plume Fan, the Tiandu Sword, the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella, the Buddha Heart Lamp, and the Void Sky Cauldron.

The moment these six Immortal King Armaments appeared, the color of the firmament changed instantly, and the void trembled as if unable to withstand the weight of these six weapons.

Even the skeletal Quasi-Immortal King, who was extremely conceited, couldn't help but change his expression upon seeing this scene.

Although he had long known that Gu Qingfeng possessed six Immortal King Armaments, hearing the rumors and witnessing them with his own eyes brought completely different levels of shock.

Facing six Immortal King Armaments head-on, even he felt his heart skip a beat. Even though his cultivation base was higher, that didn't mean his body could withstand an attack from an Immortal King Armament.

It was like a martial artist facing an ordinary person holding a machete; even if the martial artist had superior strength, their flesh and blood could not block a sharp blade.

Under Gu Qingfeng's manipulation, the six Immortal King Armaments smashed fiercely into the Nine-Flood-Dragon Bronze Cauldron.

Boom!

The nine bronze-cast flood dragons had only just appeared when they were instantly strangled and obliterated, their bodies exploding into a sky full of runes.

Immediately following that, with a cracking sound, the Nine-Flood-Dragon Bronze Cauldron was knocked flying, a significant crack appearing on its surface.

The skeletal Quasi-Immortal King cried out in heartache, "My weapon!"

He hurriedly retracted the Nine-Flood-Dragon Bronze Cauldron into his body to nurture and repair it, his face twisted with pain.

Although he held the advantage in cultivation, under the strike of six Immortal King Armaments, the sheer might of the weapons alone was enough to easily damage his artifact.

"Kid! You dare damage my weapon? This Seat will make you wish you were dead!"

Gu Qingfeng didn't speak; instead, his expression turned somewhat ugly.

Although he had won that exchange, it didn't mean he could bully a Quasi-Immortal King. He had merely relied on the power of his weapons. That wasn't the critical part; the critical part was that a powerful backlash force had just transmitted through the connection. Through that backlash, Gu Qingfeng judged that the opponent was not "family." That really sucked!

At this moment, the two Immortal Kings on the side laughed. "It seems Fellow Daoist Qin is getting serious. Let's not stand idly by."

"Agreed."

As the two spoke, they cast their gazes toward the nearby Star Extreme Immortal King.

The Star Extreme Immortal King's face was extremely unsightly, but he had to forcibly suppress his injuries and erupt with a terrifying power, preparing to face the enemy.

Meanwhile, the Divine Martial Marquis, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, faced off against Yan Jingyun.

As for Concubine Luo, she had long since vanished without a trace, and no one cared whether she lived or died.

Concubine Luo wasn't a fool. The situation was so dangerous, and she had cuckolded the Star Extreme Immortal King—not just once. If she didn't run now, when would she?

Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng let out a loud roar: "If you want to kill this Emperor's family, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

He actually abandoned the skeletal Quasi-Immortal King and charged toward the other two Immortal Kings.

His speed was so fast it seemed to transcend the boundaries of time.

He was displaying the supreme inheritance he had obtained from the Flying Immortal Sect: The Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

While charging, he angrily cursed at the Star Extreme Immortal King, "What the hell are you doing just standing there like an idiot? Run!"

The Star Extreme Immortal King looked at that face filled with anxiety and concern, and he was instantly stunned.

This kid...

He could actually go to such lengths for This King!

Is he trying to use his own life to buy time for This King?

In this moment, the Star Extreme Immortal King's feelings toward Gu Qingfeng were extremely complex. Clearly, this man had cuckolded him, yet he was sacrificing his life to help him...

In contrast, Concubine Luo, who had long since fled, seemed so heartless.

This touched upon the dilemma of the century: your sworn brother cuckolded you, yet he is still willing to die for you; meanwhile, the woman who put the green hat on you abandons you. What should you do in this situation?

Of course, you choose to forgive him.

At this moment, the Star Extreme Immortal King had only one thought in his mind... Gu Qingfeng is willing to sacrifice his life for This King, so it must have been Concubine Luo, that slut, who seduced him first! That damn slut!

Of course, being moved was one thing, but running was still necessary. At worst, he would burn a few extra sticks of incense for Gu Qingfeng when he made a comeback in the future.

Whoosh!

The Star Extreme Immortal King transformed into a streak of starlight, turned around, and fled.

Seeing this, a look of relief flashed through Gu Qingfeng's eyes.

But at this moment, the devastating attacks of the other two Immortal Kings arrived.

The Immortal King who looked like a slovenly old Daoist pulled a long sword from his sleeve. Suddenly, a resounding sword hum echoed like thunder.

It was like the stirring of wind and thunder, like an Immortal King beating war drums.

Streams of sword Qi, resembling a galaxy, turned into dazzling divine rainbows that assaulted Gu Qingfeng.

Sharp, blinding, and blazing hot.

Each stream of sword Qi diffused an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

These sword lights were like a heavenly god dancing with a sword, illuminating the mortal realm!

The other Immortal King, who resembled an old peasant, was not to be outdone. He waved his hand.

Surging sunlight and flowing golden radiance manifested as thirty-six blazing great suns floated into the air. As they slowly rotated, they drew endless solar power from the void.

The world seemed to instantly fall into a turbulent flow of violent power, squeezing, entangling, spinning, leaping... forming a unique domain.

Terrifying solar power spread out from the thirty-six blazing suns, cascading down upon the world like a rushing river of sunlight, vast and mighty.

This was a terrifying power that only those at the Quasi-Immortal King level could control. It contained the laws comprehended by a Quasi-Immortal King and was simply indestructible.

These two had learned from the experience of the previous Immortal King. They didn't clash head-on with the six Immortal King Armaments at all; instead, they curved their attacks to strike Gu Qingfeng directly.

This demonstrated the Quasi-Immortal King's precise control over power.

But Gu Qingfeng was different. He was manipulating six Immortal King Armaments simultaneously. Because his cultivation realm was insufficient, he couldn't wield them as extensions of his own body, nor could he block effectively. He could only helplessly watch as the two attacks struck his body.

However, he was very happy, because his family had been saved.

What he paid was merely a single life.

As long as his family was saved, even if he died nine times, he would have no regrets!

As for the fact that he could resurrect... let's not mention that. Here, we speak only of his pure affection for his family.
