Chapter 1 Extermination
The northern border of Great Chu, at the top of the sword-rewarding peak.
Gu Ming held a long sword in one hand and stumbled out of the woods with his mother in the other. The originally luxurious dress was covered with blood, and the hideous scars were shocking.
Looking at the bottomless cliff behind him, Gu Ming's face seemed ashamed. Below this cliff was the sword tomb, known as the world's number one sword tomb. Even the powerful king and prince realm were in and out.
At this time, footsteps came from the woods, and Jiang Hao, deputy commander of the Tiance Army, walked out slowly with his soldiers.
Gu Ming's face suddenly became extremely difficult to see. Although he was unparalleled in talent, his practice time was still short. As the deputy commander of the Tiance Army, Jiang Hao was a powerful man who had been famous for a long time. In his heyday, he was no match for his opponent, let alone now.
However, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to take action, but stood ten meters away from Gu Ming, with the silver dragon spear inserted on the ground and looked at Gu Ming with a playful look.
"Gu Ming, the son of Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Yong'an, awakened the seventh-grade god-given soul at the age of twelve. He broke through the twelve realms in four years. At the age of 16, he was already the third level of Tongxuan Realm and the first genius of Great Chu." Jiang Hao said calmly, "Good Genius, I didn't expect that he would have this day. Your Majesty personally told the holy edict, and Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Yong'an, colluded with Northern Qi and killed the whole family!"
According to legend, there is a divine power of heaven above the sky that condenses the nine levels of heavenly palaces. People in the world can communicate with the nine levels of heavenly palaces through awakening rituals at the age of twelve. If they are recognized by the divine power of heavenly palaces, they can obtain the soul of heaven and embark on the road of cultivation.
Because of the existence of the Nine-level Heavenly Palace, the world divides the God-given soul into the nine grades, the first grade is the most time-honored, and the ninth grade is the highest.
A cultivator of the Great Chu Dynasty, eight or nine out of ten who have obtained the third grade of God’s Destiny Soul, can be called a genius after obtaining the third grade of the middle grade. Even the strongest, Chu Emperor Chu Tianxing, only has the sixth grade of life soul.
Gu Ming said: "Jiang Hao, I want to know why? You should understand that my father cannot collude with Northern Qi."
"Of course, the last general understands that the loyalty of the Marquis of Yong'an is understandable." Jiang Hao said, simply wrapping his arms around his chest, and then said, "But your seventh-grade heavenly soul is the first top-third-grade life soul in the history of Great Chu. Such a precious heavenly soul does not come from the royal family. What do you think about His Majesty?"
"So, I want my God-given soul!" Gu Ming instantly understood the cause and effect, but he never expected that the talent he had always been proud of would bring disaster to the family scout and exterminate the clan.
If I had known this, I would not have been so sharp at the beginning. The sense of accomplishment that I had been praised by everyone in the past turned into endless regret at this moment. If I had known to be patient and low-key earlier, with his talent, the realm of the king and prince is just around the corner.
The current state of practice follows the ancient demarcation of the prosperous times of cultivation, and is divided into Qi training, Xuan Xuan, Shen Hai, and Kings. Each major state is divided into nine small states.
There are also higher realms such as the King and Lord Realm, such as the King and Lord Realm. However, in today's Great Chu, Tongxuan Realm, is already a first-class master, and the Divine Sea Realm can be the best in the King and Lord Realm, and the King and Lord Realm is already the strongest. Looking at the entire Great Chu, there are less than ten people.
If he could endure until the king's realm, who would dare to touch him and his family at that time?
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Even if you are unwilling to accept it, Gu Ming has no way to break the deadlock at this moment. He glanced at his mother beside him, pressed the resentment in his heart, and said to Jiang Hao: "You can give the real sun fire to you, but please let my mother go."
"Haha!" Jiang Hao suddenly burst out laughing, and then said to the soldiers behind him calmly, "Have you heard that? The first genius of Great Chu beg me."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and scolded coldly: "Is this your attitude to beg for others? Have you ever seen someone standing beg for others?"
"You..." Gu Ming tightened the sword in his hand. If he was the only one at this time, then he would take action without hesitation. Even if he died in battle, he would still have his mother behind him.
"Ming'er, don't." Wu Ruoyao shouted behind Gu Ming, but Gu Ming ignored it and knelt heavily on the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "Please let my mother go."
"Hahahaha! Look, Gu Ming kneeled for me!" Jiang Hao laughed even more unrestrainedly, and even the soldiers behind him burst into laughter without restraint.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao stopped laughing, his eyes suddenly became evil. He looked at Wu Ruoyao behind Gu Ming and said, "I have heard that Yong'an Hou is so lucky and married the number one beauty in Jiangnan. Brothers, let's try it out today. Although he only has broken shoes, he is better than the wife in the brothel."
"Jiang Hao, you are arrogant!" Gu Ming suddenly stood up and scolded him. He could not tolerate others insulting his mother.
Jiang Hao said, "Don't you want your mother to survive? If she can make me and my brothers have fun, it's okay to spare her a bad life!"
"I'll fight with you." Gu Ming also realized at this moment that Jiang Hao had no intention of letting them go.
But Gu Ming was about to use his skills, but he vomited blood and fell to the ground. After fighting all the way, he was already at the end of his strength.
"Ming'er!" Wu Ruoyao helped Gu Ming and took the sword from him. Then, she stood in front of Gu Ming resolutely and said to Jiang Hao and others: "As long as I am not dead, you can't hurt my child!"
"Since that's the case, why don't you see how good this number one beauty in Jiangnan is?" Jiang Hao pointed to a soldier behind him and said, "Li Teng, go and have fun."
"The last general will take the order!" Li Teng swung the silver dragon spear in his hand and stood up.
Although Wu Ruoyao was born in a martial arts family and had good cultivation, after a series of fierce battles, her true energy had been exhausted, and only one or two percent of the ten success powers were left. Before she passed the ten moves, she was already scarred. However, Li Teng seemed to be intentionally humiliated and always avoided Wu Ruoyao's vitals, hurting but not killing.
"Mom!" Gu Ming's eyes were filled with tears when he saw his mother being treated like this, and even his voice was hoarse. At this moment, he hated his incompetence. He could not even protect his mother.
"Ming'er, you are the Gu family's man, don't cry!" While Wu Ruoyao resisted desperately, she did not forget to comfort Gu Ming. She was a mother. As she said, as long as she was not dead, she would try her best to protect her children.
At this time, the movement of the battle at the foot of the mountain gradually subsided, and the flames dyed red in half of the sky slowly subsided. Jiang Hao looked happy and said, "What a pity. Your father, Yong'an, seems to have fallen. Commander Wang and Eunuch Hai should be coming soon."
"Let's see this good show, Li Teng, take action."
Li Teng heard the sound and suddenly threw the spear out. At this moment, Wu Ruoyao had no power to turn the world back. She suddenly turned to face Gu Ming, spread her arms to protect her chicks, and then the spear penetrated from behind her, pierced out and nailed to the ground.
"Mom!" Gu Ming made a heart-wrenching cry. He actually watched his mother be cruelly killed, but could not do anything.
At this moment, two figures fell from the sky, one was the thin and hunched old man, Wei Hai, the chief general of the inner army with a gloomy face, and the other was a soldier wearing silver armor, Wang Kang, the commander of the Tiance Army. Both of them were strong men in the top ten kingdom realm of the Great Chu.
Above Wang Kang's spear, there was a middle-aged man, which was Yong'an Hou Gucheng. The fire on his body was not extinguished and the blood was not drying, and his eyes were full of anger and reluctance.
"Dad!" Gu Ming suddenly squirted out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were dark and he almost fainted, but the pain in his body cruelly made him extremely awake.
I watched my beloved parents die tragically, but I couldn't do anything. Is there anything more tragic than this?
"I want to kill you, I want to kill you..." Gu Ming murmured, but because his mouth was filled with blood, only he could hear his voice.
Wei Hai walked forward and picked him up. His palm was inserted directly into Gu Ming's abdomen like a sharp blade. Then, a golden ball of light was pulled out of Gu Ming's body by him.
"So this is the seventh-grade god-given soul." Even Wei Hai, who was already in the king's realm, couldn't help but show envious gaze when he saw the true fire of the sun.
He put the sun fire into a special container and said in a cold voice: "Send them to reunite."
Wang Kang nodded, shook his spear and threw Gu Cheng's body out of the cliff, and then kicked Wu Ruoyao's body down with one kick.
Wei Hai glanced at Gu Ming and threw him down like he was throwing garbage.
