Flender was stunned—Gu Yi was actually fine. He instinctively felt a bit happy, but seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a state made him unable to fully feel that happiness. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to engage in a life-and-death battle with this student and foster son with whom he once had such a close relationship.
But now the facts were in front of him. Yu Xiaogang's cultivation was crippled, and this matter could no longer be resolved peacefully.
Flender sighed and called Shao Xin over. "Help him recover."
As for the others, they had no intention of staying. Yu Xiaogang alone wasn't worth their time. They had more important things to do, like practicing the powerful self-created spurut skills taught by Gu Yi, which could improve their strength, even if their current cultivation progress was slow. This was far better than wasting time on a half-dead cripple.
…...
Although Gu Yi had undergone a new transformation this time, he still hadn't completed the first trial of the God Of Evil. He felt like there was an invisible barrier preventing him from fully understanding and integrating the Evil Domain. With half the time for the assessment almost gone, he still hadn't finished it.
Gu Yi resumed his peaceful life, teaching his disciples and studying knowledge daily. It was fulfilling. Until half a month later, someone broke this long-awaited peace.
"Gu Yi, get out here!"
Gu Yi, who was teaching Zhu Zhuqing and the others, frowned. He looked up at the man enveloped in lightning who had suddenly appeared. The nine spirit rings on him revealed his rank.
Titled Douluo, one of the top powerhouses on the Douluo Continent.
At this moment, everyone in Heaven Dou City looked up at the man in the sky, riding thunder like a god of thunder.
"Who are you?" Gu Yi also ascended to confront him, looking at his spirit rings and lightning, already having a guess in his heart.
"Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and its only Titled Douluo, with a level as high as 95. His strength was indeed at its peak.
"This time, you came to avenge Yu Xiaogang, right?" Gu Yi's aura kept rising. Facing such an enemy, he couldn't afford to relax.
"Boy, in this world, some people are simply beyond your ability to provoke. No matter how famous you are, having harmed my son means death is your only end." Yu Yuanzhen's tone was extremely domineering. A dragon has its reverse scale, and touching it means death.
Yu Xiaogang was his son, his reverse scale. Now that his son was crippled and completely became an ordinary person, how could he not be furious? Gu Yi would be the one to bear the brunt of his wrath.
"You are right, there are indeed some people in this world I can't provoke. But I don't think you're one of them." It wasn't that Gu Yi looked down on Yu Yuanzhen. Even before his martial spirit evolved, Yu Yuanzhen might not have been his match, let alone now.
"If you want to fight, I'll be waiting outside the city." The aftermath of a battle between Titled Douluo was not something the civilians in the city could withstand. Gu Yi didn't want a large number of civilians to die because of a fight.
Although Yu Yuanzhen was furious, he was also somewhat rational and didn't insist on fighting there. He followed Gu Yi to a place far from Heaven Dou City.
"Uncle Swordd, Uncle Bone, let's go too." Ning Fengzhi also followed with Chen Xin and Gu Rong. Gu Yi was extremely important to their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. The techniques and self-created spirit skills he taught were practically a boon for auxiliary spirit masters. So, Gu Yi couldn't die, at least not now.
At the same time, a figure quietly left the Crown Prince's mansion and headed outside the city, clearly sent by Qian Renxue.
Gu Yi was a treasure trove to everyone. If he were just a weakling, it would be easy. But he possessed such powerful strength that even the Spirit Hall might not be able to capture him alive.
Upon reaching the desolate area outside the city, Gu Yi stopped.
"It seems you've chosen your burial place. This place is indeed scenic, suitable for burying someone." Yu Yuanzhen looked around, seemingly confident in his victory.
"A burial place, indeed. But I wonder whose bones will be buried here."
Gu Yi's killing intent rose.
"It's been a long time since I fought, and now I'm being underestimated by a youngster."
The lightning on Yu Yuanzhen's body shone even more brightly.
"Die."
Yu Yuanzhen's first spirit ring lit up, and a massive purple lightning dragon claw shot toward Gu Yi. Its speed was extraordinarily fast.
"A trifling trick. Domain release." Gu Yi sighed lightly. In the face of his domain, Yu Yuanzhen's attack was significantly weakened. The Primal Energy Domain covered a hundred-meter radius, drastically reducing the power of the purple lightning dragon claw.
Gu Yi's hand also emitted brilliant lightning. With the domain's enhancement, the lightning was dazzling and powerful. He shattered the dragon claw head-on.
"This boy also possesses the power of lightning, no less than Yu Yuanzhen's." Gu Rong was astonished. In previous battles, Gu Yi had never shown this ability.
"Maybe it's related to the domain he just released. No matter how powerful Gu Yi is, his lightning skills shouldn't surpass Yu Yuanzhen's. It's clear the dragon claw's power decreased after the domain was released." Chen Xin spoke up. He also had a domain, the Seven Kill Domain, known for its offensive power. He was more sensitive to domains than Gu Rong.
"A domain! How many more abilities is this boy hiding?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but marvel. The times were changing rapidly, with geniuses emerging continuously, breaking the rules of spirit masters.
On the other side, Snake Spear was equally shocked by Gu Yi's rapid growth, far beyond anyone's imagination.
"A domain, huh? Even if you have more tricks, you can't escape death today." Yu Yuanzhen, experienced in battles, intended to engage in close combat, transforming his hands into dragon claws.
Gu Yi, holding lightning, turned it into a lightning sword. Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen admired Gu Yi's mastery over lightning, but Gu Yi still had to die.
