Supreme Sword Sovereign

"Scoundrels!"

Liu Yuan's face was ashen with fury.

"Everyone, stop!"

On any other day,

He couldn't be bothered with the petty squabbles and infighting among the families, sometimes even fanning the flames in secret.

But today was different.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Under the watchful eyes of all,

Right in front of him, during the crucial qualification battle of the Martial Academy.

If Gu Han were allowed to continue causing chaos,

His face as the Lord of Sky Martial City would be utterly lost.

However,

Gu Han and Gu Zhang had already seen red, each wishing nothing more than to slay the other swiftly. How could they heed his words?

In the blink of an eye!

The two were about to collide!

"How dare you!"

A cold light flashed in Liu Yuan's eyes as his aura surged, revealing his Yuan Gathering third level cultivation for all to see!@@novelbin@@

With a slight sway,

He instantly appeared beside the two about to clash, his spiritual power erupted, forcefully separating them!

"Little beast!"

Gu Zhang roared in fury.

"The thing I regret most is not having killed you with my own hands that day!"

"Old dog!"

Gu Han glared at him fiercely.

"Today, you will pay with your life for my foster father!"

Before he could finish,

A three-inch sword light gathered at the tip of his blade, ready to charge at Gu Zhang again!

His hatred,

Far exceeded that of Gu Zhang!

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes and swung out a forceful palm!

Bang!

The gap in their cultivation was significant, and Gu Han had already been injured, naturally struggling to resist.

Blood spurted from his mouth.

He staggered backward!

"City Lord!"

At this moment,

Gu Zhang regained some semblance of rationality and hurriedly bowed to Liu Yuan.

"Thank you, City Lord!"

"No need!"

Liu Yuan gave him a cold glance.

"I didn't do it for you!"

"Yes, yes!"

Gu Zhang bowed again.

"After today, I will personally go to the City Lord's Mansion to confess my sins and accept whatever punishment you decree, without a single word of complaint!"

Cunning fox!

The expressions of the other family heads changed as they cursed Gu Zhang's slyness.

After today,

The Gu family would have no place in Sky Martial City and would surely face opposition from everyone. It was better to give up most of their benefits and fully align with Liu Yuan.

In doing so,

Anyone who wanted to move against the Gu family would have to think twice.

"That's fine."

Liu Yuan understood his intention and his tone softened slightly.

"Before you come, clean up this mess!"

"Yes!"

Gu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, glancing at the severed head of Gu Cheng and the utterly crippled Gu Yang, grinding his teeth in hatred.

Even if it cost him everything,

He must completely eradicate Gu Han!

Sigh...

Below the stage,

The crowd looked at the silent Gu Han and sighed inwardly.

With the City Lord's protection,

This vengeance...

Seemed impossible to fulfill!

Contrary to them, the Gu family members had expressions of having survived a disaster, inwardly praising Gu Zhang's shrewdness.

"Young Master..."

Ah-Sha ran over, crying.

"We..."

At this moment, she was the one who could best understand Gu Han's feelings.

"Vengeance."

Gu Han murmured to himself.

"It must be avenged!"

What!

The crowd was shocked.

Had Gu Han lost his mind?

With the City Lord present, how could he seek revenge? With what means?

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's face darkened once more.

"City Lord!"

Gu Zhang's heart leapt with joy, seizing the opportunity to say, "This child is unruly and doesn't respect you. If he is left alive, he will be a disaster..."

Whoosh!

Before he could finish,

A flash of light suddenly appeared!

The light was so fast that even Liu Yuan, with his cultivation, couldn't intercept it in time!

Thud!

A soft sound.

A blood hole instantly appeared in Gu Zhang's chest!

From a distance,

Gu Han gently lowered his long sword.

With the speed of the Great Expansion Sword Qi, and the stage only thirty meters in size, it was an instant strike. How could Gu Zhang have avoided it?

...

"Excellent!"

Inside the quiet room,

The Seventh Prince saw this sword strike and became so excited that his face flushed, and he stood up.

"Thrilling! Truly thrilling! Cough cough..."

Before he could finish,

He began to cough violently.

"Your Highness!"

Manager Li was distressed.

"Didn't Old Xue say not to have such drastic emotional swings? Ah... Why don't you listen?"

"Cough cough... He did well!"

"What good is there!"

Manager Li was full of frustration.

"Showing off a moment of capability is nothing but the act of a rash man!"

"A rash man?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head.

"To have one's father's killer right before one's eyes, if one cannot avenge by their own hand, imagine the pain... Sigh..."

He sighed, his expression becoming somber.

"If I had half his courage, then..."

"Your Highness!"

Manager Li seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

"It's my uselessness!"

"It's not your fault."

The Seventh Prince gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Let it be. I'm just someone clinging to life. I'm lucky to be alive this long. Why bother with so much... It's just that seeing him, I felt some emotion. Speaking of which, he and I seem to have some fate."

"Your Highness, you..."

"Let's continue watching."

...

Outside,

There was a stunned silence.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Han...

Had he really taken action? Did he truly dare?

And,

He was clearly of the Meridian Opening Realm, so how could he have killed Gu Zhang of the Meridian Unblocking Realm?

Also,

What exactly was that flash of light they had just seen?

Atop the stage,

Looking at the fist-sized blood hole in his chest, Gu Zhang swayed unsteadily.

At this moment,

He seemed to understand why, when six Meridian Unblocking Realm cultivators had surrounded Gu Han, they were instead killed by him.

But,

It was too late!

His strength and vitality rapidly drained away, and he stared at Gu Han with an expression of unwillingness. He staggered a few steps forward but ultimately couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees, silent forever.

Before him,

Lay the spirit tablet of Gu Tian!

"Grandfather..."

Gu Yang's face was filled with shock and despair.

"Why... Impossible..."

Foster father,

Your vengeance is avenged!

Gu Han exhaled softly, his body swaying slightly.

The exhaustion and strain from the past several days, coupled with the injuries from the previous battles, were now taking their toll. Even with his profound foundation, he was struggling to hold on.

"Young Master!"

Ah-Sha quickly supported him.

"Are you alright?"

"Gu Han!"

Suddenly,

An angry roar filled the air!

"You, how dare you!"

Liu Yuan stared at Gu Han, his complexion livid.

"You dare to defy my orders!"

Gu Zhang was dead.

And he had been killed right under his watch.

Not only would he lose the benefits from the Gu family, but his authority as the City Lord would also be greatly diminished from now on.

Here it comes!

The crowd tensed up.

In Sky Martial City, Liu Yuan was the law, and no one had ever dared to defy him. Gu Han... was the first!

Not far away,

The heads of the other families were secretly rejoicing.

They could tell that Liu Yuan was intent on killing.

Now, it wasn't a matter of whether Gu Han could keep his Martial Academy qualification, but whether he could even stay alive. They were the biggest winners of today's events!

"You are unfair!"

Unexpectedly,

Before Gu Han could speak, Ah-Sha stepped forward.

"What did you say!"

"You are unfair!"

Ah-Sha repeated herself.

"Those people framed the Young Master and wanted to kill him. Why can't the Young Master kill them? You protect those villains, that's unfair!"

Hiss!

The crowd gasped.

Good heavens!

Was this the same Ah-Sha who wasn't very bright? How had she suddenly become so clever?

"Fair?"

Liu Yuan let out a chilling laugh.

"As the Lord of Sky Martial City, my word is the law! You've broken the law and still dare to talk to me about fairness!"

"City Lord..."

On the stage,

Gu Yang suddenly spoke up, his eyes filled with venom.

"Please kill Gu Han to avenge my father and grandfather. I am willing to give up everything of the Gu family..."

Thud!

Before he could finish,

A long sword pierced through his chest!

"Very well!"

Furious to the extreme,

Liu Yuan instead calmed down.

"Gu Han, you've repeatedly committed violence in my presence. It seems... you really don't see me as the City Lord!"

As he spoke,

Dozens of city guards instantly moved through the crowd, surrounding the entire stage!

"Ah-Sha is right!"

Gu Han gently took Ah-Sha's hand.

"You are unjust, I have no need to respect you, nor to heed your words, and I don't need to abide by your rules!"

With that,

He began to retreat slowly, his somewhat weakened spiritual power churning at full force!

He was ready to break through.

"Seize him!"

Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

"Take him down!"

Sigh...

The crowd felt a mix of emotions.

The Gu family was finished.

And so was Gu Han himself!

To seek revenge, he had risked everything. Was it worth it?

"Tsksksk!"

Just as Gu Han was preparing to make a full-force breakout, a sharp and mocking voice suddenly rang out.

"Lord Liu, such grand authority you wield!"

"I don't wish to follow your rules either. Are you going to take us down as well?"
