Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 121 Enraging the Ice ValleyThe light in the dark crimson sky suddenly spread, then slowly fell like stars, covering the entire Tianhuang area.

Ice Talisman and Ice Origin looked at the ice-blue bow and arrow in Gu He’s hand, already feeling cowardly.

Ice Origin whispered to Ice Talisman,

”This has exceeded my expectations...”

”Should we call for backup?”

Although Ice Origin realized the gap in strength was too large, he had no intention of backing down.

Ice Talisman nodded and summoned a firecracker-shaped signal device.

Gu He had excellent eyesight; watching their blatant little movements, he almost laughed out loud.

Did they think he wasn’t there?

A person as big as him was standing right here, did they really think he would do nothing?

Xiao Yi Xian and Gu He quickly exchanged a glance, then pale purple Dou Qi coiled around her palms as she swung her large palm out.

Gu He followed closely; he nocked an arrow and drew his bow, firing another shot.

This time Gu He showed no mercy, as the full power of the Heavenly Flame covered the sky and the earth.

”Sorry, I gave you a chance to run, but you were just blind.”

The arrow, both extremely cold and extremely hot, split in two in mid-air, accurately locking onto Ice Talisman and Ice Origin.

Xiao Yi Xian’s large palm knocked away Ice Talisman’s signal device. He looked up in fury, only to see Gu He nimbly firing another arrow, and he hastily summoned his defensive shield.

”Simply presumptuous!”

His voice was filled with a chilling coldness.

”Let’s join forces and take him down today! Don’t hold back; capture him first, then break his limbs, skin him, and dig out his bones!”

”Alright!”

Ice Talisman and Ice Origin together deployed a protective shield, barely managing to block the attack.

Subsequently, Ice Wheels rotated at high speed in their palms before shooting out with a ’swish,’ as if they could slice through the crimson sky.

Covered in thick Ice Armor, a trace of smugness couldn’t help but appear on their aged faces.

So what if their signal device was knocked away?

At first, they were just stunned by Gu He’s arrow; after all, for many years, no one had dared to provoke their Ice River Valley.

Did this man and that Calamity Poison Woman think they were the only ones here?

Ice Origin and Ice Talisman could already faintly sense that Ice Crane was getting closer and closer to them.

Although the two of them had panicked a bit the moment they saw the Heavenly Flame, they had held high positions for a long time and never had the habit of admitting defeat or fleeing in panic.

Gu He pulled out an arrow, but this time he didn’t nock it. Instead, he gripped the shaft like a sword and swung it forcefully at the oncoming Ice Wheels.

The stone-blue Heavenly Flame was like fine pigments, directly covering those several Ice Wheels.

”Crack!”

The Ice Wheels shattered, looking like frost flowers under the red light of the horizon.

Gu He smiled nonchalantly, the slight curl of his lips carrying a bit of indifference.

”I’m still a bit unaccustomed to using this Frost Dragon Bone Bow...” He handed the bow and arrow to Xiao Yi Xian.

”Xian’er, hold this and watch.”

Xiao Yi Xian took the bow and arrow. Gu He let go and summoned his most familiar Crimson Sky Sword. A scorching flame intent suddenly surged, and the surrounding temperature seemed to rise by several degrees.

”That was just practice.”

Gu He’s voice was as light as the wind, but in the blink of an eye, his movement was as eerie as a phantom, flashing in front of the two Elders, Ice Talisman and Ice Origin.

The Crimson Sky Sword glowed, and the stone-blue Heavenly Flame, like a Bagua trigram, dyed the flaming blade. From top-left to bottom-right, the edge was sharp and fast, the sword shadow traceless.

”Chh—”

”Chh—”

Once the Crimson Sky Sword was drawn, it was Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Gu He no longer restrained his strength.

The true power, comparable to a Dou Zun, poured out like a tide of death.

Gu He looked at the two white-clothed figures turning into ashes and the lingering shock and fear on their faces, shaking his head imperceptibly.

Raise snakes all day and you’ll eventually be bitten; Ice River Valley was never anything good to begin with.

”Whoosh—”

The late-arriving Ice Crane witnessed exactly this scene.

His steps to save them faltered, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

Immediately, a scream rang out: ”Heavenly Flame!?”

Gu He smiled faintly. ”Correct, but... no reward.”

A majestic Soul power transformed into a large palm, mixed with hidden force and traces of Heavenly Flame, crashing down toward Elder Ice Crane!

The layer of icy Dou Qi covering Ice Crane’s body had almost no power to resist, shattering into pieces in an instant.

”Pfft...!” He spat out a mouthful of old blood, the dark red color looking like trampled red plums.

”Ice Python Arm!”

Ice Crane did not shrink back; his face turned red, and a low growl broke out. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a cold mist instantly spread.

Ice Crane’s arm began to change; his skin became as pale as snow, and his veins were clearly visible, as if ice pythons were moving vividly within them.

His body was gradually covered by a layer of frost, and the cold air emanating from him caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, as if attempting to overtake the scorching temperature created by Gu He.

His eyes became sharp and cold, like a fierce beast.

”I don’t know where you came from, but take this!”

Cold air seeped out from between his fingers, forming a thin layer of frost. His fist sliced through the air like a meteor, smashing toward Gu He with immense power.

Gu He found Ice Crane’s attack laughable.

Ice Origin and Ice Talisman had been powerless before him; did this Elder Ice Crane leave his brain at home? Charging straight toward a dead end.

Gu He simply gave a beautiful thrust with the hilt of his sword.

Massive Soul Power enveloped Ice Crane’s fist and Ice Python Arm.

”Boom—”

Simple and without any showy techniques, Elder Ice Crane’s move was neutralized by Gu He, and even that unique Ice Venerable Strength dissipated without a trace.

Ice Crane retreated more than ten steps before barely steadying himself.

Ice Crane swallowed and said hoarsely:

”If you kill me, you will have nowhere to hide in this Pill Domain!”

Gu He looked down at the pale Ice Crane and smiled indifferently:

”Since I dared to take action, I am not afraid of your so-called Ice River Valley.”

”Humph, truly arrogant! Don’t think that just because you have a Heavenly Flame, you can contend with our Ice River Valley. My strength ranks low among the Elders of Ice River Valley, and even Ice Talisman and Ice Origin are only at a middle-tier level.”

Ice Crane glanced at Xiao Yi Xian and Gu He with eyes that looked at them like mere weeds.

”If the true experts of Ice River Valley appear, your so-called capital will immediately become insignificant!”

”And if we die, Ice River Valley will definitely not let you off!”

Gu He’s calm response enraged Ice Crane. Despite the unfavorable situation, Ice Crane couldn’t help but sneer.

His long time in a high position made it impossible for him to tolerate provocation from others, much like a wealthy family despising the frozen dead on the streets.

The wind suddenly rose, blowing Gu He’s black robes. He held the Crimson Sky Sword, a trace of regret in his eyes.

”You talk too much.”

So much talk, yet he left his brain at home.

Provoking like a wicked villain, is it interesting? Anyone with a brain would stay away.

Gu He was no longer polite and swung the Crimson Sky Sword again. The Sword Qi struck Ice Crane directly without reservation.

”Boom!”

A powerful shockwave tore the surrounding air apart, and Ice Crane, unsurprisingly, fell with a single strike.

His disdainful words seemed to still linger in the world, but his remains had turned to powder before his voice could fade.
