Chapter 174: Encirclement and Slaughter by the Three Families
Within just a few seconds, Gu Fan had determined his countermeasure.
He maintained his own pace without the slightest change, his expression remaining extremely indifferent throughout.
As if nothing in the world concerned him, his entire being emanated a kind of lazy yet confident aura.
Soon, footsteps approached.
More than twenty people appeared before Gu Fan.
"Who goes there ahead?"
Several cultivators of the Divine Moon Realm stepped forward and sternly questioned.
Yet Gu Fan remained motionless, simply advancing quietly.
The Old Ancestors of the three families all frowned.
"How do you feel about him?"
"No fluctuation of Mysterious Power at all. He looks just like an ordinary person."
"Could he be some special race?"
"Unlikely. We’re in a remote corner of the continent. We’ve never heard of such a race."
After exchanging a few words, none of the three could reach a conclusion.
And just then, the Divine Moon Realm cultivator who had spoken earlier grew furious upon seeing Gu Fan ignore him.
"A guy with no fluctuation of Mysterious Power dares act so arrogantly? He must be playing tricks!"
As he finished speaking, he waved a large hand, bringing with it surging Mysterious Power, striking toward Gu Fan.
"Ah..."
At that moment, Gu Fan slowly let out a sigh.
The Divine Moon Realm cultivator who had made a move immediately felt an extremely violent Spiritual Sense lock onto him.
The next moment, his whole body turned cold and he couldn’t move, as if a fierce beast had its gaze fixed on him. The threat of death came instantly!
"No—"
Before he could finish speaking, no one even saw clearly what happened.
That Divine Moon Realm cultivator turned into a mist of blood in an instant.
With a bang, he exploded on the spot, blood splattering everywhere.
The entire scene fell silent. Everyone involuntarily took a step back!
There had been no fluctuation of Mysterious Power!
Yet a cultivator of the Divine Moon Realm had instantly died, leaving not even bones behind!
Everyone present was stunned. They never imagined that with just one encounter, a powerful Divine Moon Realm cultivator would be killed in an instant.
A complete and utter instant kill, without the slightest struggle.
Gu Fan appeared exceedingly calm on the surface, though in truth he had been gambling within.
Firstly, the miasma here constantly invaded everyone, but he was shielded by Spiritual Power, able to repel the miasma’s interference and remain unaffected.
Meanwhile, under the influence of the miasma, the group opposing him had their strength greatly diminished—some even retained only sixty percent of their original power.
Under such conditions, Gu Fan didn’t even need to use Mysterious Power. A single punch from his physical body could send his enemies to the afterlife!
And what he sought with this thunderous strike was to intimidate the crowd.
As long as he scared this group, much trouble could be avoided.
Seeing their expressions, Gu Fan revealed a gentle smile.
Compared to the blood mist all around, it was particularly eerie!
The Old Ancestors of the three families looked extremely grim.
Even they had only barely seen Gu Fan throw a punch.
Yet there had been no fluctuation of Mysterious Power.
It looked like some flashy moves practiced by an ordinary person, but it actually blasted a Divine Moon Realm cultivator into pieces with one punch.
Such an unbelievable matter—they too encountered for the first time.
But what worried them wasn’t that Gu Fan could kill his opponent with one punch.
It was that throughout the entire process, he hadn’t revealed the slightest hint of power.
They had absolutely no way to gauge his actual strength or realm.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor of the Dongye Family spoke in a cold voice:
"Fellow Daoist, your temper is a bit too much. Striking to kill at the slightest provocation—don’t you think that’s rather inappropriate?"
When Gu Fan heard this, he relaxed inwardly. The three had already been bluffed by him.
He had killed one of their subordinates, and all they did was question whether his actions were appropriate.
It proved that the other party truly had no intention of falling out.
Gu Fan chuckled softly.
"I have my own cultivation to pursue, and I have no entanglement with you all. Why stop me?"
"If you disturb my cultivation, what’s the problem with killing?"
The three exchanged glances, all sensing a kind of indifference and fearlessness in Gu Fan's tone.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor of the Bai Family suddenly smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood. We happened to be chasing down an old enemy and stumbled upon you by chance, which is why we asked a few more questions."
Gu Fan feigned indifference and said:
"These explanations need not be said to me. If you have no objections, then move aside. If you do, feel free to strike—I don't mind killing a few more people."
"Haha, no such thing. If Fellow Daoist wishes to go, then please go."
Gu Fan let out a breath of relief in his heart. Facing three Solar Radiance Realm powerhouses, the pressure on him was indeed considerable.
Even if the opposing party’s strength had been reduced, if the three of them besieged him, it would still pose a significant threat.
If he could now deceive the three families through mystique and avoid a battle, it would naturally be ideal to leave this place.
But just as he was about to continue walking forward at an unhurried pace...
The Old Ancestor of the Dongye Family frowned deeply, then said unwillingly:
"I don’t know why, but my intuition tells me this person is faking it!"
Before the other two could respond, the Old Ancestor of the Dongye Family made a sudden move and struck toward Gu Fan.
Gu Fan was cursing endlessly in his heart.
Is this crazy woman insane! Just based on her intuition, she actually attacked him directly!
Doesn’t she fear offending a true powerhouse?
Gu Fan had no time to think further. He turned around and launched a full-strength punch.
In the next moment, both of them were sent flying backward.
This strike—they were evenly matched!
The Old Ancestor of the Dongye Family’s expression first changed slightly, then turned joyful:
"He was pretending!"
Immediately, the Old Ancestors of the Bai and Xun Families were both shocked.
That crazy woman from the Dongye Family had actually managed to test him!
Without any hesitation, the two simultaneously lunged at Gu Fan’s back!
"Damn it, he killed one of our Divine Moon Realm cultivators, deceived us, and now he wants to run!"
"Kill him! Maybe he’s in cahoots with the Qiao Family!"
While the two were furious at the crazy woman’s unilateral action—
If he truly were a bigshot, she had already dragged them into her mess—
They were also angry at Gu Fan, not expecting to have nearly been fooled!
They had actually been bluffed by some pretentious guy—it was maddening!
The two attacked in unison, their momentum overwhelming.
The Old Ancestor of the Dongye Family followed close behind. The three Old Ancestors of the Solar Radiance Realm from the three families instantly formed a siege!
Gu Fan let out a quiet sigh.
He had to admit, he was truly unlucky. He had just entered the Secret Realm of White Luo Mountain and was already discovered by the three families.
And these three were simply too overbearing. He had been traveling honestly, and yet he was stopped.
Now look at this—he had originally just intended to rescue the Qiao Family and others.
But now... it seemed these people from the three families indeed deserved to die!
Gu Fan erupted in an instant. He didn’t use Mysterious Power, as doing so would invite the miasma's assault.
At the same time, his currently usable Spiritual Power was too weak to support him in battle.
Thus, he unleashed the full power of his physical body.
Even within the miasma, a faint precious light emerged from his entire body.
This was a sign of the body being tempered to an extremely high realm!
In the next moment, Gu Fan initiated his move with the momentum of a divine drum, opening his fascia.
In an instant, sounds like tiger roars, leopard growls, and dragon cries emanated from within his body, as he punched fiercely in the direction of the Old Ancestor of the Bai Family.
