Book 07 Chapter 023: Gu Hai vs. Sect Master Heavenly Access

Bringing a group of disciples, Sect Master Heavenly Access arrived outside Borderless Heavenly Capital at an extreme speed.

When Sect Master Heavenly Access stopped, a gale swept through the city.

“Duobao, you take charge of the Immortal Executioner Sword’s position!” Sect Master Heavenly Access shouted sternly.

“Yes, Master!” a man in Daoist robes answered.

“Zhao Gongming, San Xian, you two take charge of the Immortal Killer Sword’s position!” Sect Master Heavenly Access ordered.

“Yes, Master!” the two answered.ReadNovelFull.com

“Jin Ling! Huo Ling, you two take charge of the Immortal Trapper Sword’s position!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said solemnly.

“Yes, Master!” the two answered.

“The others, take charge of the Immortal Ender Sword’s position!” Sect Master Heavenly Access shouted.

“Yes!” the rest answered.

[TL Note: The named disciples above are all Taoist deities.]

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

When Sect Master Heavenly Access waved, the Immortal Executioner Sword, the Immortal Killer Sword, the Immortal Trapper Sword, and the Immortal Ender Sword carried his disciples to the four cardinal directions of Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Surging sword qi immediately erupted, rus.h.i.+ng at the city.

At the same time, a loud sound came from Borderless Heavenly Capital. A humongous ritual array’s barrier instantly covered everything.

The pressure from Sect Master Heavenly Access caused the countless citizens’ expressions to change dramatically; they looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access in horror. However, they quickly calmed down and turned to the imperial palace, towards the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Gu Hai had walked out to the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

The Han Imperial Dynasty’s civil and military officials quickly thronged to him.

Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, the Mosquito Daoist, Gao Xianzhi, and the others stood behind Gu Hai, looking sullenly at the experts in the surroundings. Of course, they eventually fixed their gaze on Sect Master Heavenly Access standing in the sky.

Sect Master Heavenly Access flung his sleeves out, looking coldly at Gu Hai in the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Gu Hai took out the Life Trapper Saber and placed it in the air. Then it seemed to merge with the ritual array protecting the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital.

“Sect Master Heavenly Access? Hah! This is the Wu Imperial Dynasty’s second wave of attacks, right? You became his p.a.w.n?” Gu Hai sneered.

“p.a.w.n? No one can turn this sect master into their p.a.w.n. You are the p.a.w.n. Gu Hai, let’s see how you are going to flee this time! Who will you ask for help from?! Just call them out. Let’s see who can withstand this sect master’s Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

Gu Hai looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access and smiled coldly. “Ask for help? This is our Han Imperial Dynasty, our Borderless Heavenly Capital. Do you think we will ask for help?”

“Oh?” Sect Master Heavenly Access skeptically eyed Gu Hai.

“Sect Master Heavenly Access, all the humiliation from before came from yourself. We have never targeted you. On account of Sect Master Supreme Ascendant, we will give you one chance to leave. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not giving you face!” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Hah! Hahahahaha! This sect master wants to see how you are going to not give us face. Humph! Let’s see how you are going to deal with my Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array without helpers. With just Kong Xuan and the others? They are far from sufficient!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

“Your Reverence, this official volunteers to fight!” Kong Xuan immediately said after stepping forward.

“There will be a chance for you to fight later,” Gu Hai said indifferently.

Kong Xuan looked at Gu Hai with confusion.

Gu Hai sneered at Sect Master Heavenly Access. “We have been back for a few months already. Does everyone think we are easy pickings just because there are no Go Dao laws? Excellent! Excellent! How very excellent! Sect Master Heavenly Access, you have delivered yourself to me. This is good timing. It is time to show the world whether we are easy pickings. Humph!” Gu Hai vigorously let out a cold snort.

When Sect Master Heavenly Access heard Gu Hai’s words, his face sank slightly. There were spies from many factions within and around Borderless Heavenly Capital. After all, Gu Hai had long been famous, so many people kept an eye on this place. When they heard Gu Hai’s hostile shout at Sect Master Heavenly Access, they appeared confused.

You—Gu Hai—can deal with Sect Master Heavenly Access by yourself? Aside from being incredible at calling for help, this is impossible for you, right?

“You are just using Borderless Heavenly Capital’s ritual array? Do you believe this sect master’s Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array can shred it with a wave of my hand?” Sect Master Heavenly Access sneered.

“It is just the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array. We also know it,” Gu Hai said coldly.

As Gu Hai spoke, he operated the Life Trapper Saber.

Suddenly, sword qi of four colors appeared outside Borderless Heavenly Capital. These were not the sword qi from the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array but sword qi manifested by Borderless Heavenly Capital’s Go Dao ritual array.

When Gu Hai’s sword qi of four colors appeared, they swept into the surroundings like a storm.

Boom!

Gu Hai’s and Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword qi clashed, causing s.p.a.ce to shudder.

Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword qi revolved around Borderless Heavenly Capital in a clockwise direction, while Gu Hai’s sword qi moved in a counterclockwise direction.

Loud explosions rang out endlessly.

“The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array?!” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed.

The Mosquito Daoist had seen Gu Hai studying the diagram in the Three Pure Ones Hall earlier. He fully grasped it in just a while?

Gu Hai just lacks the Four Immortal Executioner Swords. Aside from that, his sword qi is no weaker than Sect Master Heavenly Access’s.

“This is?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s face sank.

He could tell that Gu Hai’s sword qi was exactly the same as the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access’s. Gu Hai knows it too?

Gu Hai’s Life Trapper Saber blocked the pressure from the Four Immortal Executioner Swords.

“Humph! Immortal Executioner Sword qi? Without the Four Immortal Executioner Swords, yours is just a framework. Do you know what the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array is? Every sword in the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array is the Immortal Executioner Sword!” Sect Master Heavenly Access shouted coldly.

Suddenly, Sect Master Heavenly Access extended his hand and grabbed a sword qi. Then that sword qi solidified, turning into an Immortal Executioner Sword.

In the arrangement of swords, there was a towering Immortal Executioner Sword in the east. However, another Immortal Executioner Sword appeared in Sect Master Heavenly Access’s hand out of nowhere.

“The Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array? Indeed, we would not be able to deal with you if you were in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. However, this is the Han Imperial Dynasty. This is Borderless Heavenly Capital. This is our capital. Yet, you lay the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array here? What a joke!” Gu Hai snorted coldly.

After that cold shout, Gu Hai started speaking again. “Han Imperial Dynasty citizens, we are Gu Hai. We have returned to the Han Nation. Now, evildoers have come to attack us. They come in full fury, desiring to destroy the Han Nation, destroying to break our nation! We—Gu Hai—ask the Han Nation citizens to beat the enemy into retreat with us. Raise your right hands and lend your energy to us! We will defeat the evildoers, push back the enemy, and establish our nation’s might!”

The gigantic golden blessings dragon above the blessings cloud sea suddenly s.h.i.+fted to an upright pose from a rec.u.mbent posture.

Roar!

The golden blessings dragon roared, and the blessings cloud sea churned endlessly. Gu Hai’s voice reached all the Han Imperial Dynasty citizens’ ears through the golden blessings dragon.

Among the officials, Chen Tianshan was the first to raise his right hand.

“We respectfully ask Your Reverence to defeat the enemy and establish our nation’s might!”

After Chen Tianshan, countless other officials not involved with the defense raised their right hands. Borderless Heavenly Capital’s citizens also raised their right hands.

“Your Reverence, take this humble citizen’s energy. Push the enemy back and establish the nation’s might!”

Aside from Borderless Heavenly Capital, the citizens of the Han Imperial Dynasty’s nearly three hundred cities heard Gu Hai’s voice. Led by the many city lords, the citizens raised their right hands.

“Your Reverence, push the enemy back and establish the nation’s might!”

“Your Reverence, I’ll give you my energy!”

“His Reverence has returned! Hahahaha! I’ll give you my energy!”

“Long live the Han Nation!”

Beams of white light shot towards the golden blessings dragon from all directions. The golden blessings dragon’s figure immediately swelled up.

Roar!

The golden blessings dragon reared its head back and roared. Then it charged down at Gu Hai.

Gu Hai flew into the sky.

Boom!

The golden blessings dragon entered Gu Hai’s body, carrying the energy of countless citizens from the Han Imperial Dynasty’s three hundred cities.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Gu Hai’s body suddenly swelled up due to the immense energy.

Had it been a year ago, Gu Hai could not have endured this much energy. However, a peak energy had tempered his body in the eighteenth layer of h.e.l.l. With his physical body now at its peak, he naturally could endure this vast energy. Furthermore, his cultivation had reached the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, no longer limiting him.

Thus, Gu Hai could handle however much energy there was.

“Hah! Driving the power of your nation? Unfortunately, yours is just an imperial dynasty. If it were a heavenly dynasty, this sect master might have to pay some attention. Now, with just you?” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly in disdain.

Then he swung the Immortal Executioner Sword in his hand. It carried a destructive might, tearing a large hole in s.p.a.ce like a towering heavenly execution. It looked like it could shatter the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital in one strike.

“Eyes of Life and Death!”

Gu Hai’s eyes suddenly gave off a black light and a white light. When the Eyes of Life and Death appeared, they could see all weaknesses.

“Eighth Cycle!”

Gu Hai drew his Life Executioner Saber and swung it at the sky.

The Life Executioner Saber seemed slightly weaker than the Immortal Executioner Sword in aura. Even when driving the power of the Han Nation, it did not seem like it could defeat the Immortal Executioner Sword.

Aside from a few with absolute confidence in Gu Hai, most believed Gu Hai would lose. Defeat would mean losing Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Boom!

A loud report rang out as the saber and the sword clashed. All the sword qi outside the defensive ritual array belonging to Gu Hai and Heavenly Access exploded.

The ground under Gu Hai trembled, and the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital shook.

However, Borderless Heavenly Capital only shook once. Gu Hai stood stable in the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza. On the other hand, the Immortal Executioner Sword in Sect Master Heavenly Access’s hand exploded.

“How can this be?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed.

Even though he did not move back and this Immortal Executioner Sword had just been manifested by the sword ritual array, it had still carried half the might of the Immortal Executioner Sword. Nevertheless, Gu Hai exploded it?

“That’s impossible!” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciples in the surroundings exclaimed.

“His Reverence is undefeatable!” countless Han Nation citizens cheered.

“Hah! It’s nothing much. Again!” Gu Hai glared and soared into the sky, rus.h.i.+ng at Sect Master Heavenly Access.

After this saber strike, Gu Hai felt absolute confidence. So what if I face Sect Master Heavenly Access? This is Borderless Heavenly Capital, my home ground! I have billions of Han Nation citizens helping me and can chop down Heavenly Access.

“Kong Xuan, Mosquito Daoist, deal with Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciples. The others, protect Borderless Heavenly Capital and the citizens!” Gu Hai shouted.

“Yes!” the officials answered.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ReadNovelFull.com.

Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist immediately followed Gu Hai, charging out of Borderless Heavenly Capital’s ritual array, and headed for the people outside.

“Spare no one! Kill them all!” Gu Hai shouted ferociously.

“Yes!” Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist answered.
