The scene fell into a prolonged silence.
Wan Tiancheng and his Immortal King Dao Protector lay in a pool of blood, their bodies mangled and motionless.
Finally, Dao Child Jietian was the first to react, hastily shouting, "Quick, save them!"
Hearing Dao Child Jietian's command, several people hurriedly stepped forward to rescue Wan Tiancheng and his protector.
However, to everyone's surprise, no matter how much Dharmic power they infused or how many immortal pills they fed them, the two remained completely unresponsive.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock, "They're dead! Wan Tiancheng and Elder Zhang are both dead!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand ripples. The crowd instantly erupted.
"What! How is this possible!"
Many people went up to check, only to shockingly discover that the two had truly lost all signs of life.
"Their origins were obliterated by those talismans, they are completely dead!"
For a moment, everyone looked in horror at Gu Qingfeng, the man who had instantly killed Wan Tiancheng and an early-stage Immortal King with a single strike.
Gu Qingfeng had committed a massive taboo!
When prodigies sparred with one another, killing was absolutely forbidden.
After all, behind every prodigy stood a faction. The factions allowed them to fight and wouldn't interfere regardless of winning or losing, as this was for the prodigies' growth.
But if you killed someone, that was crossing the line.
Every faction expended countless resources to cultivate a prodigy. It could be said that all the prodigies present had the potential to prove their Dao and become Immortal Kings. If such a seedling was killed, one could easily imagine how their backing faction would react.
"Wait, they just died like that? And they call themselves prodigies?" Gu Qingfeng was somewhat dumbfounded.
He genuinely didn't expect the other party to be this fragile.
It was just over a hundred Immortal King talismans, wasn't it? It wasn't like it was over a hundred Immortal Kings.
Was there a need to die so easily?
"You killed them, and you actually dare to make sarcastic remarks!" a prodigy who was on good terms with Wan Tiancheng rebuked angrily.
"Murderer!! You used such a vicious move in a mere sparring match. Such ruthless behavior, you must be a demonic cultivator!"
"Dao Child Jietian, quickly order the capture of this fiend. His origins are mysterious and his methods are vicious, he might be a demonic spy!"
The crowd was instantly filled with righteous indignation.
Seeing this scene, Dao Child Jietian felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. Ever since he learned that a peerless beauty like Yan Lingxue was Gu Qingfeng's dual cultivation cauldron, a deep sense of jealousy and hatred had risen within him.
However, due to his status and face, he couldn't target a stranger for no reason and forcefully take his woman.
But now it was different; righteousness was on his side!
"Daoist Master Qingfeng, you have gone too far. You killed Fellow Daoist Wan, and the Wan family will absolutely not let this go. You'd best obediently surrender and await the Wan family's arrival to face their judgment," Dao Child Jietian said with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Gu Qingfeng didn't respond to that, but instead asked, "Has everyone participating in the Immortal King Assembly arrived?"
Dao Child Jietian was slightly taken aback. "Why does Daoist Master Qingfeng ask this? Could it be you are waiting for helpers to arrive?
If that's the case, there's no need. Although not everyone has arrived yet, you have violated the common taboo agreed upon by all factions. No matter who comes, they won't be able to protect you. I ask Daoist Master Qingfeng to hand over your spatial ring, seal your own Dharmic power, and await judgment."
"Not everyone is here yet?" Gu Qingfeng was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. "Looks like I'll have to put on an act for a bit longer."
Since he said he wanted to catch them all in one net, he definitely would.
Gu Qingfeng had never been a hardworking person; he didn't want to run to every faction one by one just to find some Immortal Kings.
Dao Child Jietian couldn't understand Gu Qingfeng's crazy words. Having lost his patience, he directly ordered the crowd, "Since Daoist Master Qingfeng is unwilling to surrender, I invite all fellow Daoists to help him out.
By the way, the murderer is Daoist Master Qingfeng, please do not harm the innocent.
Miss Yan, is it? This incident has nothing to do with you. Please come over here, this Dao Child will certainly ensure your safety."
Dao Child Jietian's mindset shifted very quickly. Now that he had the general situation in his grasp, he suddenly felt that Yan Lingxue being a dual cultivation cauldron wasn't necessarily a bad thing; it saved a lot of effort.
It was like a simp finding out his goddess was a worker; at first, he would be heartbroken, but once he thought it through, he would be overjoyed.
If the goddess is a worker, then just hire her!
If she wasn't, he wouldn't even have such an opportunity. He might not be able to have deep interactions with her for his entire life, and even if he could, it would probably cost a massive amount of time and money. How could it be as convenient as it was now?
Facing the olive branch extended by Dao Child Jietian, Yan Lingxue didn't even look him in the eye. In the past, during her peak, trash like a Quasi-Immortal King wouldn't even have the qualifications to look at her.
Being ignored, a barely noticeable flash of anger passed through Dao Child Jietian's eyes.
Slut! No wonder you can only be used as a dual cultivation cauldron. You can't even read the situation, you deserve this!
"Do it!"
Following Dao Child Jietian's order, several prodigies who wanted to show off leaped out and charged toward Gu Qingfeng.
Their bodies shone with brilliant immortal light as they summoned various powerful immortal weapons like sabers, swords, and spears, carrying a world-destroying might.
However, facing the crowd's siege, Gu Qingfeng very calmly took out another stack of talismans.
Swish!
The crowd suddenly stopped in their tracks as if they had been hit by an immobilization spell. They looked at the talismans in Gu Qingfeng's hand with expressions of horror.
Someone cried out involuntarily, "Immortal King talismans! He actually has over a hundred more!!"
"How is this possible! How could anyone in this world possess so many Immortal King talismans? Even an Immortal King couldn't produce this many!"
The crowd couldn't have imagined even if beaten to death that someone in this world could be this wealthy. It was simply inhumanly rich.
For a moment, the crowd hesitated and dared not advance.
Seeing this, Dao Child Jietian's expression turned slightly cold. Then, he took a large stride and leaped to the front of the crowd.
With his hands clasped behind his back and a calm expression, he completely ignored the over one hundred Immortal King talismans, displaying an extraordinary bearing.
"Daoist Master Qingfeng, it seems you truly intend to fight to the bitter end. Since that is the case, this Dao Child will have to offend."
Swish!
A flash of immortal light appeared in Dao Child Jietian's hand, and a long, ancient sword, pristine white like jade, materialized in his grasp.
As soon as this sword appeared, an inexplicable pressure spread across the entire area, making even the Immortal Kings present feel their breathing stifled.
"It's an ancient Immortal King weapon! The Kunwu Sword!!"
"To think the rumors were actually true! Legend has it that when Dao Child Jietian was ten years old, an immortal crane descended from the sky carrying an immortal sword in its beak, and it was precisely this Kunwu Sword!"
"The Kunwu Sword is an ancient Immortal King weapon. Under the scouring of the great power of time, it has undergone unimaginable changes and is several degrees stronger than ordinary Immortal King weapons!"
Hearing the crowd's worshipful exclamations, a satisfied smile curved on Dao Child Jietian's lips. With the certainty of victory in his grasp, he said to Gu Qingfeng, "Daoist Master Qingfeng, no matter how many talismans you have, they are ultimately single-use consumables. However, my Kunwu Sword is everlasting. Your hundred-plus talismans cannot destroy the Kunwu Sword. Once your talismans are depleted, you will die beneath my blade."
