Supreme Sword Exalt

Gu Han brought the demoness along, ready to leave the cave. “Let’s go.”

The demoness hugged him. “Where to?”

Just as Gu Han was about to speak, his heart stirred. “Wherever you want!”

After so long, he had gradually figured out the pattern of this curse power. Unlike Mei Yun, who caused others to have bad luck, his curse power seemed only to affect himself. As such, he was a little afraid to choose because there would inevitably be a powerful barbarian waiting for him.

The demoness casually pointed in a direction. “There!”

“Why?”

“The scenery is nice. I like it very much.”

Gu Han was speechless. He suddenly felt letting the demoness make the decision was a bit too hasty.

Meanwhile, even though Feng Xi had broken through the siege of the barbarian army, many barbarians still rushed toward the border. She encountered a massive number of barbarians along the way. Nevertheless, as long as no Saint realm cultivator appeared, she was practically invincible in the Northern Domain.

With a cry, the heavenly phoenix’s wings flapped once, scattering countless streams of red flames down. The surrounding barbarians didn’t even have a chance to shout before they were reduced to ash.

“Feng Xi!”

“She’s the Feng Xi!”

“Quick! Get moving!”

Feng Xi’s reputation was extremely resounding because she’d been at the border for over a decade. Coupled with her unique way of attacking, the barbarians immediately recognized her. Yet she remained impassive, her phoenix eyes brimming with killing intent.

Another flap of the bird’s wings barred the barbarians’ path.

She said calmly, “Speak. Where is my junior brother?”

“Your junior brother... who?”

“The one your master issued the kill order for.”

“I don’t know!”

Immediately after, a red flame rose, reducing the barbarian into a pile of ash.

Feng Xi turned to another person. “Speak. Where is my junior brother?”

“I don’t know—”

The crimson flame lit up, and he followed in the footsteps of the previous one.

Her eyes shifted somewhat impatiently toward the remaining few. “Where is my junior brother?”

Under the threat of death, one barbarian finally couldn’t hold on any longer. “I-I don’t know for sure, but when I came, I heard that many people had gone to the Great Lu Mountains to find him...”

“Where is that?”

That barbarian pointed tremblingly in a direction. “T-there. About fifty thousand li from here—”

Without wasting a second, Feng Xi transformed into a heavenly phoenix, her battle skirt rustling loudly. She immediately went for the Great Lu Mountains.

A red flame fell right after, eradicating everyone except for the barbarian who had answered her question.

I’m not going! I’m not going to the border anymore! That barbarian trembled with terror, no longer able to muster even a trace of desire to fight the Great Flame border army.

Compared to Feng Xi, Fatty attracted more attention, but for all the wrong reasons.

Radiating golden light, he held a sword he had picked up from somewhere. “I am Gu Han of the Eastern Wasteland!”

He appeared quite convincing, using his full cultivation base to shout continuously, “I only made the Dao Bell ring nine times. It’s nothing worth mentioning! You barbarian scum, I’m going to tear down the War God Hall. Follow me if you dare!”

As Elder Cen had said, the Northern Domain was so big, so trying to find Gu Han was like looking for a needle in the hay. He had a sudden inspiration and thought of this method.

Can’t find him? Then don’t look! By impersonating Gu Han and attracting a large number of barbarians, he could still share Gu Han’s burden and create opportunities for him to escape.

No matter how notorious Gu Han was, there were many barbarians in the Northern Domain. Most of them were at the border and had never seen him before.

As soon as Fatty shouted, many barbarians believed him and ruthlessly chased after him. By this point, over a thousand barbarian experts were pursuing him. The two leading them were even at the Transcendent realm. There were also over a dozen at the Half-Step Transcendent realm, while the rest were at least at the Soaring realm.

“Kill him!”

“That one holding the sword is Gu Han!”

“Gu Han also emits golden light!”

“Gu Han is a fatty! Stop him! Don’t let him escape!”

For a time, besides being able to use a sword, Gu Han had gained several new characteristics. Not only was he a fatty, but he also emitted golden light and spoke especially arrogantly.

The two Transcendent realm barbarians had fire in their eyes. Their vital qi was almost boiling. As they gritted their teeth, two surging pillars of vital qi slammed against his golden light. Fatty cried out in pain as the golden light trembled for a moment, then stabilized again.

He endured the pain, deliberately holding back his speed, and kept shouting, “Huh? Is the Transcendent realm supposed to be this weak?! You don’t even deserve to make me draw my sword. A bunch of trash!”

This time, Gu Han gained another characteristic, thick-skinned. It was a good thing it was Fatty. If it were Old Liao here, he would have been torn to shreds long ago.

As he flew along, he occasionally slashed out two beams of golden light, attracting even more hatred from the barbarians. Having no idea where the War God Hall was, he coincidentally headed toward the Great Lu Mountains.

***

Gu Han and the demoness flew deep within the Great Lu Mountains. It seemed that she wasn’t affected by his bad luck after all. Although the two encountered two more groups of barbarians, they were pathetically weak. Gu Han casually dealt with them and went further in.

He frowned slightly. “That’s strange. Why are there so many demonic beasts here?”

Their auras were also stronger than those in the Wild Forest. The deeper they went, the more he could faintly sense a different kind of aura. It was the demonic qi!

This kind of aura was similar to that of Di Kan’s, only much purer.

Meanwhile, the demoness gazed with great interest at a dark forest. “It’s really similar... I’ve seen your memories. You and Ah Sha were also chased by them all the way through the Wild Forest.”

It truly seemed as if she was there to enjoy the scenery.

Gu Han curled his lip. How is it similar? Back in the Wild Forest, I was in a much worse state than this. Besides, Ah Sha didn’t like looking at scenery. She only liked eating meat!

Suddenly, a roar came from not far away. Gu Han instantly determined that it was a Tier 4 demonic beast. He wasn’t surprised. Like the others, the demonic beast was probably attracted by his bad luck.

He slowly descended, preparing to deal with the demonic beast. Leaving it be would definitely attract a large number of barbarians.

At that moment, a figure appeared in his line of sight. Covered in scars, he appeared very wretched, his black hair disheveled. Although he was tall, he was much shorter than the other barbarians. It seemed he was just a barbarian youth.

That youth was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands frantically, panting heavily. “Quick! Q-quickly run! That big guy is catching up!”
