Chapter 333: Revealing the True Form (An extra chapter of ten thousand words, please subscribe!) _1
Gu Chen took steps forward without choosing to sit and comprehend the stone stele like the others here, but instead headed towards Shen Han and Su Du.
The moment Gu Chen appeared here, naturally, it attracted a lot of attention, which included the worldly walkers from the six great sacred places.
Especially Yuwen Wind, who cast a cold glance at Gu Chen, his gaze was sharp like a blade.
Gu Chen naturally felt Yuwen Wind's stare, but he didn't care and was ready to slaughter Shen Han and Su Du first, the two traitors who had betrayed the Human Clan and defected to the demonic sects.
"Gu Chen!"
Shen Han and Su Du, seeing Gu Chen walking towards them, also had a sinking look in their eyes.
Particularly Su Du, with intense hatred in his eyes. If it were not for Shen Han, he wouldn't have been able to come here this time.
Now his strength had been fully left behind by the likes of Lu Xing and Bu Nantian. Seeing Gu Chen appear, Su Du clenched his fists unconsciously, wishing he could slash Gu Chen a thousand times.
At that moment, Shen Han also stood up, staring coldly at Gu Chen and said, "You want a fight?"
Gu Chen shook his head upon hearing this and said, "You now are not worthy of fighting with me."
"Arrogant!"
Suddenly, a fierce light flashed in Shen Han's eyes, but at the same time, he felt somewhat wary of Gu Chen.
After all, this place suppressed cultivation levels, relying only on one's physical body, and initially, Gu Chen had become famous throughout the world precisely because of his physical body, having cultivated an indestructible Vajra body.
Seeing Gu Chen's approach, warriors from both Tianyun Sect and Purple Extreme Sect all stood up, watching him with guarded faces.
Shang Ying, Xue Jingyun, and Xiang Yang did not speak. They had witnessed Gu Chen's terror and were still frightened by it.
Shang Que was even shrinking his head, afraid that Gu Chen would take notice of him.
At that time, Su Du, with a ferocious look in his eyes, yelled, "Gu Chen, aren't you afraid of disturbing others' comprehension with your actions here? How can you do such a detrimental thing here?"
As soon as Su Du's words came out, indeed many frowned, and Su Du's intention was exactly that—to make everyone bear animosity towards Gu Chen and target him collectively.
"Killing you will only take a moment. This time, don't even think about escaping," Gu Chen said softly, and before the words even fell, he was already at Su Du's side.
"Silent as a passing goose, traceless as a step on snow, have you reached such a level of agility?!"
Su Du had an extraordinary eyesight, after all, as the most outstanding martial genius of Tianyun Sect, even without Gu Chen using his cultivation, he instantly recognized Gu Chen's level of agility.
At this moment, Su Du's eyes were filled with anger, envy, resentment, jealousy, and other emotions all mingled together. Knowing well the realm of agility Gu Chen had demonstrated, as an expert himself, Su Du knew he could not escape.
"If you want me to die, I won't let you have it easy!"
Su Du had a sinister expression, and with a loud shout, he burned his primordial essence blood. He had gambled his life, using a secret method, attempting to drag Gu Chen to death with him.
On the other side, Shen Han saw this and his face suddenly changed, ready to make a move to save Su Du.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
With a soft sound of "puth," Gu Chen's fist had already pierced through Su Du's chest, shattering his heart.
The heart is the source of a warrior's blood and vitality.
With one punch, Gu Chen shattered Su Du's heart, directly exterminating his vitality. The essence blood burning inside his body was like a candle in the wind, extinguishing in an instant.
Su Du looked at Gu Chen, his mouth opening and closing, clearly wanting to say something, but his mouth was full of blood, and he could no longer speak.
With a thud, his body dropped to the ground, blood flowing and the smell of blood spreading.
A corpse appeared, and instantly, many warriors from the six great sacred lands frowned.
Seeing that Gu Chen was about to make a move on Shen Han, Ouyang Yu from Burning Heaven Valley, with his burning aura as fierce as magma, immediately scolded Gu Chen, "Enough!"
Among the six great sacred places, especially Vault of Sky Sword Sect and Burning Heaven Valley, were the most protective of their own people. The warriors of Burning Heaven Valley were known for their aggressive and domineering personalities, and Ouyang Yu, as the worldly walker of his generation, was naturally no exception.
"Are you speaking to me?" Now that Gu Chen was extremely powerful and feared nothing, he naturally didn't indulge Ouyang Yu, and retorted directly.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yu's gaze flashed with fire, and his aura became even hotter, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Do you want to die?" Although he was angry, his tone was very calm, clearly not considering Gu Chen a threat.
Having been defeated by Gu Chen in the past and considered it a disgrace by Yuwen Wind of Vault of Sky Sword Sect, even though he had an okay relationship with Ouyang Yu, he could not bring himself to say it.
"Do you want to die?" Facing Ouyang Yu's threat, Gu Chen sent the threat back exactly as it was given.
"Gu Chen, you've got some nerve!"
At that moment, seeing Ouyang Yu insulted, Jin Yan, who had once fought Gu Chen at the peak of Mirror Lake Mountain, stepped forward, pointing at Gu Chen and berating him.
Gu Chen didn't pay him any heed, merely giving Jin Yan a brief glance, causing Jin Yan's body to subconsciously tremble, his body hair standing on end as if preyed upon by a prehistoric beast.
A heavy shadow of death enveloped him.
In a panic, Jin Yan couldn't help but retreat several steps backwards.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen said indifferently, "Overestimating your own ability."
"You..."
Jin Yan was furious, about to say some harsh words, but only saw Gu Chen's figure flash, having already charged towards Shen Han.
With Su Du's corpse still in sight, Shen Han knew he was no match for Gu Chen, but to just sit idly by and wait for death was absolutely impossible.
Seeing Gu Chen's light palm strike coming, Shen Han let out a deep shout, mustering all his strength, with one hundred and one points of light igniting on his body's surface. He had actually made progress during this time!
But unfortunately, he was still no match for Gu Chen. As Gu Chen's palm drew near, before even striking his body, a terrifying pressure assailed him, and Shen Han felt his muscles uncontrollably tremble.
"I'm going to die!"
Shen Han's pupils dilated, his mind filled with this sole thought, feeling intense pain in every part of his body.
Bang!
The void trembled faintly, and a glowing white palm suddenly appeared, blocking Gu Chen's strike.
A slender, young-faced man with eyes as bright as stars and remarkable elegance appeared between Gu Chen and Shen Han, separating the two.
This person was none other than Lin Bai!
In this place, only a few people had seen how Lin Bai had suddenly appeared, including Gu Chen.

"Brother Gu, why so impetuous? As far as I know, you and Brother Shen have had little to do with each other, so why resort to such a ruthless move upon the first encounter?" Lin Bai asked with a smile on his face, his features handsome and his voice gentle.
This was a person who gave the feeling of a refreshing spring breeze. If Gu Chen hadn't known Lin Bai's background, he might have actually taken a liking to him.
Seeing that Lin Bai had personally intervened to stop Gu Chen, everyone on the scene became even more excited.
The debate over whether Gu Chen or Lin Bai had superior talent had always been ongoing. If the two of them were to fight today, that matter would probably be settled once and for all.
"The renowned young master of the Six Union God Sect, Lin Bai, it's truly an honor to meet you," Gu Chen said calmly, revealing Lin Bai's origin with a single sentence.
Instantly, everyone present changed expression, especially Shen Han, who became extremely nervous.
If Lin Bai's identity was exposed and became known to all, the Purple Extreme Sect was sure to be implicated!
Lu Xing of the Beidou Sect, Bu Nantian of Qinglong Valley, and others looked at Lin Bai and Shen Han with doubtful expressions. Could it be that the Purple Extreme Sect had thrown in its lot with the Six Union God Sect?
Yuwen Wind, Ouyang Yu, and other elites from the six major holy lands frowned upon hearing that Lin Bai was the young master of the Six Union God Sect.
However, Lin Bai remained composed and unworried, not showing the slightest sign of nervousness. He shook his head and chuckled, "Brother Gu jests, how could I be the young master of the Six Union God Sect? Brother Gu mustn't let his personal prejudice lead him to wrongly accuse an innocent person."
Gu Chen, tall and muscular, said, "What, does the young master of the Six Union God Sect take everyone for fools? To act so recklessly, do you believe no one can guess your true identity?"
With that, Gu Chen successfully raised suspicions about Lin Bai among everyone present.
However, Yuwen Wind and the heirs of the other holy lands chose not to act, because they knew that the Six Union God Sect was a secondary concern; seizing the greatest opportunity in this land was the ultimate priority.
Besides, the holy lands' heirs believed that even if the Six Union God Sect made a comeback, they would not dare to move against the six major holy lands. As for what would happen to the rest of the world, that was none of their concern.
The holy lands were on the verge of transcending, and the fate of the nine provinces was already irrelevant to them.
Despite the accusations, Lin Bai remained very calm. He smiled slightly and shook his head, "Brother Gu's temper is indeed as the rumors describe, quite overbearing."
At this moment, Lin Bai's followers, that is, the warriors of the Rakshasa Sect and Sky Evil Sect, also rose to their feet, standing sternly behind Lin Bai.
With just a signal from Lin Bai, they would immediately attack Gu Chen.
The atmosphere on the spot immediately turned tense.
Shen Han, seeing Lin Bai lend a hand, slightly relaxed inside, but remained nervous, fearing that the exposure of Lin Bai's identity could affect him and the Purple Extreme Sect.
Then, Gu Chen said coldly, "The Purple Extreme Sect has secretly pledged allegiance to the Six Union God Sect. After this spiritual realm matter is concluded, the Jing Tian Department will certainly break through the gates of the Purple Extreme Sect."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han's face changed drastically, his fists clenched tightly, and he looked at Gu Chen with gritted teeth.
Lin Bai calmly said, "Brother Gu shouldn't use his status to slander others, wrongfully accusing innocents with just a few words. If that's the case, in my opinion, wouldn't Brother Gu seem more like the young master of the Six Union God Sect?"
Hearing these words, everyone, including the elites from the six major holy lands like Yuwen Wind, suddenly grew interested and turned their attention to Gu Chen.
Seeing Lin Bai trying to turn the tables, Gu Chen laughed and said, "You're saying I'm the young master of the Six Union God Sect?"
Lin Bai nodded, saying, "As far as I know, you practiced martial arts as a child, and it wasn't until you were twenty that your cultivation shortly entered the Holding Breath Stage. Yet, now, only two years have passed and your cultivation has soared incredibly, reaching the Hundred Orifices Stage. Such a meteoric improvement over two years, how does Brother Gu explain this?"
Gu Chen looked at Lin Bai calmly, saying, "Are you suggesting I've merged with a demon spirit?"
Lin Bai smiled slightly, "Not necessarily merged with a demon spirit, for if you had, neither the Jing Tian Department nor Da Xia would have failed to notice."
He paused then continued, "Brother Gu also shouldn't try to dismiss it, citing a natura-born martial body. I myself possess such a physique, and I understand it better than anyone. In my view, Brother Gu, you're not a natural-born martial body!"
Lin Bai's words were sharp, splashing dirty water on Gu Chen with just a few sentences, making everyone present doubt him.
Although his words were somewhat skewed, they did make sense; Gu Chen's rapid progress in cultivation over two years was indeed hard to explain.
Just then, Lin Bai's voice suddenly rose, "Brother Gu, there's no need to hide. I've been investigating you for a long time. Your concealment may be deep, but there are always flaws. Let's not even mention others; even an heir of the holy lands cannot advance their cultivation so quickly in just two years. If you have not used wicked arts to enhance your realm, then how else can you explain it?
Brother Gu, as the young master of the Six Union God Sect lurking in Da Xia, lurking in the spiritual realm, what exactly are your intentions?"
At that moment, everyone began to harbor doubt against Gu Chen, looking at him with uncertain and questioning gazes. With just a few words from Lin Bai, Gu Chen had become the target of public accusation, and the atmosphere instantly became incredibly tense.
