Chapter 205: They sure fled fast

These two were the rulers of Heaven and Earth Star and the first two Void Cutter cultivators on this planet.

Luo Jie and Luo Fei were brother and sister. They were well-known Void Cutter experts even in the surrounding worlds. Their fame was due to their obsession over their territory.

They've always regarded Heaven and Earth Star as their own territory, and at the same time, they were extremely hostile to outsiders, so they had a very nasty attitude when they saw Gu Nan and Wu Gui.

Actually, it wasn't limited to just Gu Nan and Wu Gui. Any Void Cutter cultivator who entered the Sixth Region without giving prior notice would attract their hostility.

This kind of behavior really stood out, because most Void Cutter existences wouldn't be so territorial.

This was a world where individuals possessed great power. As long as the cultivator wasn't dead, they could easily establish territories and organizations. Territories really weren't worth caring about.

At this time, it was the older brother, Luo Jie, who spoke to Gu Nan and Wu Gui.

Luo Fei, his younger sister, also stepped forward. "We can pretend nothing happened if the two of you leave Heaven and Earth Star immediately. Otherwise—"

Before she could say what would happen otherwise, Gu Nan had already slashed with his sword.

Layers upon layers of illusory shadows reappeared, but this time the target changed to Luo Fei, while the young girl Wu Gui also attacked right then.

She waved her hand and sent out a palm strike. What was originally supposed to represent the Buddha holding the world in the palm of their hand now looked gloomy and sinister, containing endless demonic energy.

The target of her palm strike was the older brother—Luo Jie—so that he wouldn't be able to help Luo Fei in time.

And after sending out this palm strike, Wu Gui immediately turned and left without any hesitation.

Of course nobody who could advance to Void Cutter Realm would be a fool. Luo Jie almost immediately understood the other party's intention—this was betting that his younger sister would be killed in one blow, or at least seriously injured!

Only then would Wu Gui's act of merely delaying him for one second have any meaning.

'And only then will Wu Gui be able to fully escalate the enmity between us and that other enemy, which will make it easier for her to calmly escape!'

After understanding all of this in an instant, Luo Jie casually blocked the girl's attack, but a sneer appeared on his face.

'If you think that my younger sister will be defeated so easily, then you're underes—'

"Ahh!" A miserable scream came from behind him. Luo Jie turned his head back incredulously, only to see dozens of swords piercing Luo Fei's body. Every single sword had stabbed the same spot.

They were supposed to stab Luo Fei's heart, but since she dodged slightly, she was stabbed in the stomach instead.

But just how powerful was Gu Nan's blow? Even the King of the Deep Sea, a bloodline user, was seriously wounded in an instant, so one can only imagine the results here.

Although substitution became Gu Nan's exclusive law after he advanced to Tier 4, the enhancements to his physical body were nothing to scoff at either.

The Tier 4 Evil God physique had almost reached a jaw-dropping point. Gu Nan's physical body alone was enough to resist Tier 3 laws.

And the special function of the law of substitution was to give him the ability to stack a single attack dozens of times.

Because all the Gu Nan's formed by shadow clones were substituted by his true body, they all carried out the exact same attack with the exact same motions.

The instant the first Gu Nan stabbed Luo Fei, the second Gu Nan also stabbed her, followed by the third and fourth…

The essence of Shadow Form allowed all the Gu Nan's to overlap with each other, as if they were all one person—this was a result of Gu Nan's increased control over Substitution. The shadow clones no longer had to be spread out and could all overlap now, occupying the same space simultaneously.

So to outsiders, it really did seem as if he defeated Luo Fei with just one strike. However, what they didn't know was that Gu Nan's every strike actually contained crit damage dozens of times stronger than his original attack.

The explanation might be complicated, but for Luo Jie, the whole thing was very simple.

His younger sister really was seriously injured in a single strike!

The fact that Luo Fei didn't die instantly when hit by Gu Nan's terrifying strength was a testament to her core law being of a high enough rank. But even so, her body slowly fell down.

"Die!" Luo Jie roared angrily, and a lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the air, hitting Gu Nan right on the head.

This law of lightning directly shattered space, revealing gaping holes that led to the void; its power was indescribable.

If it was the Tier 3 Gu Nan, this single lightning bolt would be enough to seriously wound him to the point of death.

But when it struck the current Gu Nan, he didn't even bat an eye and allowed the sudden bolt to hit his head. He was entirely unscathed.

The strength of the Tier 4 Evil God physique really was unimaginable.

But when Gu Nan slowly walked out of the smoke and dust after that loud explosion, he found that the Luo siblings had already disappeared without a trace.

"As expected of Void Cutter cultivators. Every single one of them runs away faster than the previous one." Gu Nan sneered, but he was also unconcerned.

After reaching Tier 4, everyone had the ability to tear open the void, so it was very difficult for Tier 4 experts to truly kill each other.

This was also the reason why battles between Void Cutter cultivators were extremely rare.

In any case, no one could kill anyone else, so what was the point of fighting? At the same time, attacking the enemy's organization was also inconvenient, because if you destroyed your enemy's forces, the other party could retaliate and destroy your forces too.

It was impossible for Void Cutter experts to always be guarding their territory, so enemies would inevitably find an opportunity to destroy that territory.

Gu Nan wasn't worried about this kind of situation. He'd just advanced to Tier 4, so he would have plenty of methods to deal with these people in the future.

In the game, how to kill NPCs who could run away was also a topic many players researched.

"Your origin has been damaged, so you can't cross to another region with your physical body… Let's see where you can run to now."

...

"My Lord."

When Gu Nan arrived at White Mist's headquarters again, Red Tail showed far more respect than usual—for those paying attention, what transpired in the central mountain range was no secret.

The King of the Deep Sea revealed himself, the reincarnation of a certain Buddhist ancestor awakened, and the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord broke through to Void Cutter Realm… She knew all about those events, including the appearance of the two rulers of Heaven and Earth Star.

Red Tail had stayed in Heaven and Earth Star for so many years, but the total number of Void Cutter experts she had ever seen in her life was still less than the number who appeared this time.

And more importantly, these Void Cutter existences all lost to Gu Nan, someone who just advanced to Void Cutter Realm not long ago.

'As expected of the one with the fastest breakthroughs in history.' Red Tail inwardly gave a wry smile. She naturally knew about Starry Ocean Pavilion's evaluation of Gu Nan.

"Take over Heaven and Earth Star immediately. Control the take off and landing locations of all starships. Destroy them all if you can't control them."

When Gu Nan said this, a small black dagger slowly appeared and landed in Red Tail's palm. "The power of my law is sealed inside this dagger. Not even normal Dao Lords will be able to survive this attack."

Red Tail hurriedly accepted the dagger, which seemed perfectly ordinary to her senses, but when she tried to exert some force on the dagger, she couldn't do anything to it.

Afraid to get too distracted, she spoke to Gu Nan again, "My Lord, those two also have a Dao Hall here. Do you want to…"

"Where is it?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. Those two naturally referred to the pair of Luo siblings, Luo Jie and Luo Fei. He didn't know that the two actually had some legacy here.

Red Tail chuckled. "Those two have always been strange. Their Dao Hall isn't on the planetary ring, but on the mainland instead…"
