Chapter 37: Golden snake sword 1

The moment Gu Lin Fang appeared before the Xu clan, he was automatically put in combat state.

Now he understood why Gu Yu Xing was so stressed.

He looked around calmly with his eyes and found that there were only two people to be worried about and has also confirmed the rarity of Nascent soul experts.

Although it seemed like, aside from these two, the others didn't see him until he spoke.

Now he was once again, marveling at the effects of his trait [Fugacious Aura].

Without a word, he used <Sensing> on the possible threats.

"Gu. Lin. Fang... Hahaha, why do you look so serious?" Xu Wu Qong's voice was filled with disdain as he says such words.

He observed the man's expression from within his sedan chair, "I'll cut to the chase".

He smiled slowly, "hand over the palm technique and I might just let you live".

Hearing these words, Li Zhu's expression changed as his head flickered to Xu Wu Qong's sneering face.

"Such a glorious technique is wasted on someone like you!"

Li Zhu squints his eyes at Gu Lin Fang, The uneasy feeling still there but greed was slowly sprouting.

His initial intentions were to slowly win Xu Wu Qong's trust before stealing the secrets of the Xu clan's cultivation method and martial techniques.

Most of those at the auction felt they had seen Gu Lin Fang's combat prowess during the incident and it wasn't much when compared to the top dogs who were presently racing to the Soul severing realm.

Xu Wu Qong, was amongst those who felt Gu Lin Fang was at the bottom of the ranks.

But Li Zhu's intuition told him otherwise, ever since he saw him that day.

He even went as far as telling Xu Wu Qong to avoid any confrontation with this Gu Lin Fang in other to increase favorability.

Earlier today, due to his repeated victory over the Ye clan who accused the Xu clan of assassinating their Young Master, Xu Wu Qong ran into a skirmish between Gu Yu Xing's group and the Zhao clan, and decided to get involved with the Gu clan.

'He had said, it was because he wanted to buy time for the Zhao clan's reinforcements... but it was all for a martial technique?!.

That was the real motive!.

What's so special about it, that he would risk his injuries and wished to use the chaos to ...I know Xu Wu Qong is somehow able to discern high level ma...'

While Li Zhu was thinking, the warriors quickly made a circle around Gu Lin Fang with scared faces.

Watching all this play out, a twisted grin spread across Gu Lin Fang's face as he tried to suppress his laughter, but in the end, he failed.

"Hahahaha!! You!, Would let 'ME' live?!!"Gu Lin Fang's malevolent laughter was loud as it broke the silence in the entire street.

This time, he was genuinely amused at the fact that someone dared to look down on him.

"Uncle Zhu, has he gone mad in despair?" Xu Wu Qong continued with his provocation but Li Zhu was sweating profusely for some reason, the more Gu Lin Fang laughed.

His gut kept ringing with warning bells, reminiscent of all life or death situations that he had experienced.

Gu Lin Fang was definitely dangerous to himself!.

______

Gu Lin Fang felt there was no need to waste time, he would seize the initiative.

He quickly adjusted his mental state by using his Traits and personalities, Just like the system showed him.

[Wild]

[Calculating mind]

[Vicious]

[Resilient mind]

Immediately his Aura exploded as his face contorted strangely,

'Looks like four is the limit.

Now it's time to find out the effects of the other three'.

He lifted his cane and charged directly at the sedan chair, a golden line flashed across the center of the sedan before fell on two places.

"Tch... fucking brute!!" Xu Wu Qong's voice was heard from another spot as he dusted his gold apparel and smirked.

Gu Lin Fang looked calm as he gave a side glance at the young man.

'Interesting' He went into a strange stance and a Golden python formed behind him before circling around him silently.

The flow of Qi and his breathing was so smooth, he felt good.

Xu Wu Qong's eyes flashed with greed upon noticing this sword technique.

"Nobody move, I'll handle this one my self!" The gold armor flashed before changing to what looked like a flaming robe.

'artifact!!' Li Zhu's expression changed sharply.

But Gu Lin Fang's attention was elsewhere, 'Yang attributes?'.

Xu Wu Qong took a stance by lifting his left leg to guard his torso before charging forward with the same arrogance as before, this left dents on the floor, something his small frame shouldn't be capable of.

He aimed for Gu Lin Fang's face with a kick but the latter took a step backwards before rolling on his heels with a slash of his own.

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting each other was apparent and Xu Wu Qong's face flashed with surprise, taking several steps backwards before his face went back to normal.

The python countered immediately, lashing out with it's tail before disappearing once more.

Gu Lin Fang's eyes flashed with understanding as he paused, 'I see, he's someone with the arrogant traits and he's doing the same thing I'm doing.

Using it as a mindset in battle.

But... I don't think he's aware of it like I am'.

Xu Wu Qong switched to a defensive stance, which was something Gu Lin Fang wanted, after all the [Golden snake sword Technique] majored in counters and parry breaks, perfect for group battles.

Without hesitation, Gu Lin Fang dashed forward as another snake formed ahead of him Immediately, his Qi flowed across his meridians at an insane pace to keep up with his actions.

Xu Wu Qong blocked with his left foot and spun around in a strange way to deliver a kick, only for him to fall awkwardly.

He rolled away miserably to avoid Gu Lin Fang's slash. After gaining some distance, he struggles to stand up.

Unfortunately Gu Lin Fang won't give him the chance, He closed the distance with [Banshee's footprint] and stabbed at the normal feet.

"You!!"
