Chapter 2713 - Gu Qi

Chapter 2713: Gu Qi

Godkings, even early Godkings, could be regarded as experts in a world that was dominated by Infinite Primes.

Now, a Godking had his head crushed and died in a single move. Not only did Jian Chen’s strength stun the people of the Hao family, but even the eyes of the four other Godkings of the Darkstar race widened as they stared at Stark’s headless corpse. They had temporarily forgotten to attack the people of the Hao family.

“Stark, y- you killed Stark…”

Afterwards, the four Godkings of the Darkstar race returned to their senses. They charged at Jian Chen as they roared out angrily and in shock.

Stark’s strength was roughly the same as theirs, yet he had been killed with a single punch. He could not even fight back. Did that not mean that if he were replaced by any one of them, their final fate would be the same?

Immediately, the strength that Jian Chen had demonstrated struck fear into the hearts of the four other Godkings of the Darkstar race.

“H- how is this person so powerful? He killed an early Godking with a single punch. Probably even late Godkings can’t achieve something like that, but he’s clearly just a mid Godking from his presence.” The Godkings of the Hao family were extremely shocked. If they fought against a single early Godking from the Darkstar race alone, they would be able to kill them, but they would definitely not be able to do it as easily as Jian Chen did.

“Fantastic, we’re saved.” The six Overgods of the Hao family were overjoyed. If Jian Chen’s appearance earlier had given them a glimmer of hope, then the strength he now displayed allowed they to see the hope of victory, the hope of turning the situation around and killing the four other Godkings of the Darkstar race.

“Senior, please kill them. Our Hao family will definitely return the favour with lavish gifts,” said a Godking of the Hao family.

The four Godkings of the Darkstar race revealed very ugly expressions. They looked at each other, and one of them immediately pulled out a jade talisman in an attempt to report back and ask for reinforcements.

However, Jian Chen was much faster than they had imagined him to be. Before the Godking could activate the jade talisman, Jian Chen had already appeared before him. The Laws of Strength wrapped around Jian Chen, and he directly threw out a punch.

“Stop him!”

The other Godkings of the Darkstar race called out together. Now, they were in no circumstances to bother about the Godkings of the Hao family anymore. All the Godkings immediately gathered together, and three of them struck out at the same time. Three swords surged together and swung towards Jian Chen with powerful pulses of energy. They covered for their companion who was requesting for reinforcements.

Jian Chen was extremely adept at using the Laws of Strength. Hurling out a punch, all the strength in the surroundings gathered in his fist. It tore through everything, colliding with the three incoming swords fearlessly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With that, the three high quality saint artifacts were all repelled by Jian Chen. The powerful force of the punch caused the three Godkings to stumble a few steps backward.

After repelling the three Godkings, his fist continued on with its residual power, striking the Godking who was currently seeking reinforcements.

Spurt! Blood erupted from the Godking’s mouth as he was blown away. He was rather heavily injured, but he had survived.

Jian Chen was currently playing the role of a mid Godking. All of the strength that he demonstrated had to conform to this role. If he killed another Godking in a single strike again, he would stand out far too much.

Although the battle prowess he had demonstrated so far was on par with late Godkings, it was still within an acceptable range.

After all, it was nothing special for a few prodigies in the Saints’ World to be able to challenge and defeat those at higher levels of cultivation.

Jian Chen stomped his foot, and he shot off like an arrow, catching up with the Godking immediately. He threw out another punch and crushed the Godking’s head.

The second Godking was dead.

In the blink of an eye, two Godkings had died. This surprised the Godking of the Hao family who was about to burn the power of his soul to use a secret technique. He was stunned.

Afterwards, Jian Chen continued to launch attacks. His presence as a mid Godking erupted, and the Laws of Strength surrounded his body. Every strike pushed his strength to the limit, and every punch made the air explode. He killed the other two Godkings swiftly.

Since Jian Chen’s appearance, only a few seconds had passed. The entire battle truly could be described as concluding with lightning speed.

The last Godking of the Darkstar race was afraid. His eyes were filled with dread. He did not utter a single word, turning around and fleeing.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Kill him! Don’t let any of them escape!”

The two Godkings of the Hao family immediately pursued. They stopped the final Godking, and very soon, the Godking was slain. After all, he had to fight two people.

A battle erupted among the Overgods of both parties as well. Seeing how victory had already been determined, Jian Chen did not keep fighting. Instead, he stood there with his arm crossed as he gazed into the distance at the Hundred Saint City.

He expanded the senses of his soul far away and observed the situation of the Hundred Saint City. He weighed his options secretly.

“Thank you for your assistance. If it were not for your intervention, it would have probably been very difficult for us to survive.”

At this time, the two Godkings of the Hao family and the six Overgods had slaughtered all the people of the Darkstar race. They all arrived before Jian Chen to thank him.

After a simple introduction, Jian Chen learnt the names of the two Godkings. They were Hao Ran and Hao Chen.

“May I ask for you name?”

“Your strength is so powerful that you must be a person of renown in the World of the Fallen Beast.”

The two Godkings of the Hao family asked with clasped hands as the six Overgods stood behind them. They ate pills and recovered as they studied Jian Chen curiously with admiration.

“I’m Gu Qi. I’m just an unknown independent cultivator.” Jian Chen made up a name casually. He glanced past the vicious wounds of Hao Ran and Hao Chen and said, “Recently, I’ve been staying in the Two World Mountains to hunt for Life-devouring Beasts. It has been quite a few years since I’ve left the mountains. Today, I just happened to be leaving when I saw you fighting the people of the Darkstar race. I could also sense the ripples of battle in the distance from time to time. Has something happened to the World of the Fallen Beast while I was in the Two World Mountains?”

After hearing how Jian Chen had remained in the Two World Mountains for many years, Hao Ran and Hao Chen could not help but show admiration. Even the six Overgods behind them began to idolise him.

In the World of the Fallen Beast, the Two World Mountains was a renowned zone of danger. Although cultivators often ventured in there to hunt Life-devouring Beasts, they would never stay for too long. It would be three to five days on average and no longer than half a month at most. It was extremely rare for people to remain in there for several years like what Gu Qi had done.
