Chapter 1574 Encountering Gu Tianxing Again
Bang!
A column of water surged into the sky. Chen Xuan, like a cannonball, shot out of the water and landed abruptly on the small island.
As soon as he stepped onto the beach, he heard the voice of the scruffy Taoist: "It's him! He's the one who caused this! Go find him, it really has nothing to do with me!"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw the scruffy Taoist pointing at him.
Beside the scruffy Taoist stood several figures, who were none other than Gu Tianxing and his companions.
Clearly, Gu Tianxing had come looking for him.
This was within Chen Xuan's expectations. After all, this was Gu Tianxing's territory. He had chosen to cultivate here rather than leave precisely to deal with this fellow.
Gu Tianxing had been causing him trouble, and if Chen Xuan didn't sort him out, it would be too embarrassing.
However, the scruffy Taoist betraying him so quickly was beyond Chen Xuan's expectations.
Immediately after, the scruffy Taoist sent a telepathic message: "My identity cannot be exposed yet..."
"I know."
Chen Xuan understood instantly.
If the scruffy Taoist acted too aggressively, his identity would be exposed. If exposed, the scruffy Taoist might not be able to accompany him to the clan gathering.
"Good boy, you actually dare to sneak into the First District. You've truly surprised me."
Gu Tianxing looked at Chen Xuan, slightly astonished.
"The First District is nothing to speak of," Chen Xuan said dismissively.
"Boy, what kind of treasure do you have on you that prevents us from refining the energy of the Spiritual Pool?"
"Why should I tell you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a glint of greed flashed in the eyes of Gu Tianxing and the others.
So, he did have a treasure?
"Hurry up and hand over your treasure, or I'll make sure you never leave the Spiritual Pool alive," Gu Tianxing said coldly.
"Then it depends on your capabilities."
Chen Xuan was unfazed.
These fellows wanted to defeat him, and they were still a long way off.
"You're quite arrogant. Teach this guy a lesson!"
Gu Tianxing signaled his companions.
Several Gu family disciples stepped forward with cold smiles.
"Young Master Tianxing, please spare him!" Gu Hong quickly said.
Although she had witnessed Chen Xuan's strength, she didn't believe Chen Xuan could defeat so many of the Gu family's proudest talents.
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised, not expecting Gu Hong to speak up for him.
"You wretched woman, how dare you beg for mercy for an outsider! Wait until I'm done with you!"
Gu Tianxing's gaze turned icy, making Gu Hong's face turn pale, and she shivered in fear. She looked at Chen Xuan with deep worry.
"Boy, obediently hand over the treasure, and I'll spare you some humiliation!"
A group of Gu family disciples surrounded Chen Xuan. One of them said with a sneer.
"Just you guys? Aren't you overestimating yourselves?"
Chen Xuan scoffed.
"Don't make a move, leave this guy to me!"
One of them immediately lunged forward, while the others watched with smiles, utterly confident in their companion.
However, in the next moment, their expressions changed drastically.
The companion who had just lunged was kicked in the face by Chen Xuan and sent flying towards them.
There was a footprint on his face.
His miserable state bore no resemblance to a proud talent.
"This is too much! Cripple him for me!"
These people dared not be careless. They immediately circulated their internal energy and charged towards Chen Xuan.
"With this little skill, you dare to fight me?"
Chen Xuan sneered a few times.
Two fists flew directly towards Chen Xuan's face.
He reached out and grabbed both fists, then gently twisted them. With a crack, their wrists snapped.
Chen Xuan kicked out swiftly, sending two people flying. The remaining three had already caught up.
"Bang bang bang!"
Chen Xuan raised his hands and unleashed a barrage of palm strikes. The palm winds were dense as rain, forcing everyone back step by step. They spat blood, their faces bruised and swollen, a truly miserable sight.
The Gu family disciples were in agony.
They didn't want to fight anymore, but Gu Tianxing hadn't given the order, so they didn't dare to retreat an inch.
Gu Tianxing's face was ashen.
He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so strong, effortlessly fending off several Gu family disciples by himself.
He could no longer stand it and roared, "Get out of the way!"
"Young Master Tianxing is going to make a move! Quickly get out of the way!"
The crowd rejoiced upon hearing this. They tapped the surface of the water with their toes and quickly scattered to the sides.
Furthermore, these people positioned themselves behind Chen Xuan, blocking his escape route. It was clear that their coordination was excellent.
However, their actions were entirely unnecessary.
"Will your appearance make any difference?"
Chen Xuan sneered.
"Take my palm!"
Gu Tianxing's internal energy surged forth instantly!
He unleashed a palm strike, his internal energy flowing, runes filling the air, emanating an aura of profound mystery.
This palm strike was no ordinary move; it was likely a supreme martial art.
"It's the Ling Tian Divine Palm!"
"That's one of our Gu family's three legendary martial arts! I didn't expect Young Master Tianxing to have mastered it too!"
"It's rumored that Gu Tianxing's elder brother mastered a formidable martial art, and now Gu Tianxing has mastered one as well. How impressive!"
"This brat is probably going to die here today."
"But the clan rules don't allow killing!"
"Not killing? Heh, they don't allow killing clan members. The elders turned a blind eye when we toyed with Gu Hong. He's just an outsider, so killing him is fine."
"That makes sense!"
Chen Xuan observed the power of this palm strike. It was indeed very strong, but unfortunately, it was nothing to him.
"Break!"
Chen Xuan threw a punch without even looking!
The swirling runes instantly turned to dust, and the powerful gusts of wind disintegrated in an instant.
"Puff!"
Gu Tianxing spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying a hundred feet away.
He clutched his chest, looking at Chen Xuan in horror: "How could this be? How could you break my Ling Tian Divine Palm?"
The proud Gu Tianxing simply could not accept this outcome.
The surroundings fell silent, a deathly stillness.
They hadn't expected Gu Tianxing, who had unleashed the Ling Tian Divine Palm, to still be defeated.
"You think you're powerful, but in my eyes, you're worthless!"
Chen Xuan stood tall and said calmly.
"So cool!"
Gu Hong shouted excitedly, like a fan meeting her most admired idol.
She had never idolized anyone before, but now, Chen Xuan was the idol in her heart.
"This brat is too much of a show-off. Damn it, I could do that too, but unfortunately, I can't make a move..."
The scruffy Taoist said enviously.
He was somewhat displeased that Chen Xuan had stolen the spotlight.
"You..."
"What about me!"
Chen Xuan flickered and appeared before Gu Tianxing, grabbing him by the neck. He then proceeded to unleash a furious barrage of blows, leaving Gu Tianxing bruised and swollen. Since he couldn't kill this fellow, he decided to torment him thoroughly.
The others watched in terror. They exchanged glances, then turned and fled.
They knew that after dealing with Gu Tianxing, Chen Xuan would not let them go.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Chen Xuan flicked his palm, instantly grabbing a mass of water and flinging it at the fleeing crowd.
That mass of water instantly transformed into several water arrows, shooting towards them.
This technique was as dazzling as magic, eliciting another cry of astonishment from Gu Hong.
"Ahhhhh!"
The Gu family members cried out in pain, instantly collapsing and floating on the Spiritual Pool.
