The Lord of the Universe
Ch.239 - The Death of Elder Gu
“Hahaha, this will be the end for you, boy! Blame yourself for daring to approach my beloved nephew,” Elder Gu grinned widely.
“Uhuk! What beloved nephew? You kicked him out of the house, humiliated him, didn't even care about his life and death. Now that he has gained strength, you forced him home as if what you did to him had never happened before.. you guys are really trash!” Xiang Shin looked closely at Elder Gu.
He was currently unable to do anything, his dantian was sealed, every time he wanted to use energy, a sense of heat would travel throughout his body as if he would explode at any moment.
“You have courage also turned out.”
*BAAMM!!
A punch struck Xiang Shin's face, sending him bouncing. Elder Gu appeared on his bounced path Xiang Shin then gave a hard kick. It continued to do Elder Gu until Xiang Shin's bones cracked and were severe.
Xiang Shin's gaze became blurry, he had even trouble seeing things.
“Hahaha, so just this is your endurance, boy! Then I will end,” Elder Gu pulled out his sword, with a single move, he slashed Xiang Shin.
Without Xiang Shin noticing, the sword mark on his forehead let out a light, faintly seeing someone appear suddenly in front of him before his consciousness disappeared.
*TRANG!
Elder Gu widened his eyes seeing a sword holding back his slash. He immediately moved backwards, he could not sense where the sword was coming from.
Elder Gu frowned seeing an old man with a body as if formed from semi-transparent energy already standing in front of Xiang Shin.
“Who..”.
Elder Gu was speechless when he saw an arm in the old man's grasp.
He looked at his left arm, which was already dead.
“Aaarrrggghhh!” Elder Gu shouted in pain, “you.. how dare you!”
Elder Gu had no idea who the old man was, he had never seen him nor had he heard of any cultivators like him.
The old man looked back, looking at Xiang Shin who was so badly injured that losing consciousness made his expression turn cold. He made an energy bubble to protect the young man.
Seeing the old man opening the gap by turning his eyes, Elder Gu in the blink of an eye was already above the old man.
“Hahaha! How dare you take your eyes off when you're in front of me! Die!” Elder Gu firmly shook his sword.
“What?!”
Elder Gu was surprised when he saw that his sword slash was only held with the tip of his index finger. The old man did not use any energy at all, purely just his physique but was already able to withstand his powerful attacks.
Before Elder Gu moved back, his neck was already in grip making him unable to move.
“How dare you hurt my student, you seem to be tired of living!”
Yes, that old man was Xiang Shin's teacher, Feng Lao.
Feng Lao was getting stronger suffocating Elder Gu's neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“I is.. The Luo Family Elder, if you kill me.. The Luo Family will instantly know about it. You will become a fugitive of the Luo Family.” Elder Gu tried to threaten Feng Lao with his background.
“Only such a low-class family do you think can threaten me with that?” Feng Lao pointed at Elder Gu's stomach.
Instantly an energy shot into Elder Gu's stomach.
“A-what was that? I feel like something has broken up,” Elder Gu muttered inwardly.
“I have severed your soul connection with the Luo Family, so even if you die they won't know it.”
“Ap..”
*SNAKE!
Feng Lao broke Elder Gu's neck, making him die instantly. Not stopping to get there, Feng Lao burned his body to ashes in space.
“Xiao Shin, your development has exceeded my expectations. In just a few years time you can become an Immortal Spirit,” Feng Lao stared at the battered face of his disciple.
He was obviously angry, how could he not be angry to see his disciple being treated like this. Yet Feng Lao would do nothing to the Luo Family.
He could indeed destroy the Luo Family easily, even easier than turning a palm. But he did not want to interfere in his student's problems.
Xiang Shin had to solve his own problem. This is also in the interest of the development of his students. Feng Lao believed, Xiang Shin could solve his own problems.
That was what made Feng Lao sever Elder Gu's soul connection before killing him. If the Luo Family found out that Elder Gu had been killed then they would suspect Xiang Shin. At that time, the Luo Family would likely attack Planet Yun.
However if the Luo Family did not know of Elder Gu's death, it would give Xiang Shin time to develop.
Feng Lao took out some items from the dimensional ring belonging to Xiang Shin.
Feng Lao helped Xiang Shin consume Elixir to recover his condition.
“Should now Xiao Shin be able to get through critical times,” Feng Lao sighed in relief, “Xiao Shin, teacher believes you can solve your own problems. So don't disappoint the teacher!”
Feng Lao entered back into the sword mark on Xiang Shin's forehead.
