"Who is it?"
"Gu Qingting, a guest elder of the Heavenly Clan and a good friend of my father."
An outsider?
Meng Die continued: "Gu Qingting is a genius painter that my father met when he was traveling outside when he was young. Because he was an independent cultivator without any sect, my father specially invited him to join the Heavenly clan as a guest elder and gave him extremely preferential treatment. However, due to some conflicts with my father, he left the Boundless Sky World. But just a year ago, Gu Qingting returned to the Boundless Sky World and found an excuse to stay in the Boundless Sky Dojo. My father treated Gu Qingting warmly out of consideration for their old friendship, but who would have thought that he would invite a wolf into the house."
Su Chen asked, "What conflict?"
"Gu Qingting … met my mother at the same time as my father."
Mengdie did not elaborate, but Su Chen could already guess the gist of it.
The source of the conflict was none other than love.
A powerless independent cultivator had no advantage in front of the successor of the Heavenly Clan.
However, he bore a grudge against Heavenly Yuze because of this, and even endured for several hundred years before finally exacting revenge on the Heavenly Clan, putting the entire clan at risk of destruction. This person's narrow-mindedness and ruthlessness were truly dangerous.
"But where are we going to find Gu Qingting now? He must have already left the Heavenly Clan."
"No, he hasn't left the Boundless Sky Realm. He's still guarding my mother's tomb."
Mengdie revealed a disgusted expression. "I will not allow such scum to tarnish my mother's tomb."
… …
Several hundred kilometers to the northwest of the Boundless Sky Dojo, there was a valley full of wildflowers.
The wind here was warm and the air was fresh. It was peaceful and tranquil, like the environment in a painting. There was not a trace of filth in it.
The valley was completely empty. The only thing that existed was a tombstone at the center of the valley.
The original inscriptions on the tombstone had been completely erased and replaced with new words.
"The tomb of Gu Qingting's beloved wife, Tantai Jingchu."
Mengdie had just set foot in the valley and saw the changed words on the tombstone when she exploded with rage.
"Gu Qingting, get out here!!"
Amidst the flowers, an unkempt man who reeked of alcohol struggled to get up. He rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Jing Chu … Jing Chu, it's you!
Now that you've come back to life, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. If you still hadn't appeared, I would have personally gone to the Yellow Springs to look for you. "
This drunkard was Gu Qingting. In his daze, he mistook Royal Dream Butterfly for Tantai Jingchu.
The mother and daughter looked very similar to each other.
Gu Qingting ran toward Mengdie barefoot. He was as happy as a dog, and his eyes were full of hope.
Just as Gu Qingting was about to get close to Meng Die, Pangu's divine axe flew over with a swoosh, bringing with it a tremendous force.
The turbulent space almost overturned Gu Qingting.
But just as Gu Qingting was about to hit the ground, purple threads burst out of his body and wrapped around Pangu's divine axe. No matter how Su Chen tried to move it, it could not budge.
With just a single exchange, Su Chen knew that Gu Qingting's cultivation was extremely powerful. At the very least, he had reached the mid stage of the Heaven's Equal Realm. Moreover, his technique of the Divine Glyphs was similarly powerful. He was probably around the fifth grade of the Divine Talisman Master, two grades higher than Su Chen.
Difficult to deal with.
Under normal circumstances, Su Chen had no chance of winning.
But Gu Qingting was already dead drunk. Su Chen still had hope.
With a flash, Su Chen teleported above Gu Qingting. Scarlet flames erupted from his feet, and he smashed toward Gu Qingting like a meteor.
The ground instantly melted, forming a lava pit a thousand meters in diameter. Su Chen carefully avoided Mengdie's mother's grave, so he did not cause any damage.
The temperature of the melted ground instantly broke through 50 million degrees. With Gu Qingting's defenseless state, it was difficult for him to resist.
But although Gu Qingting was dead drunk, he was not stupid. He directly activated the divine pattern to wrap himself up, isolating himself from the high temperature outside.
The divine pattern wrapped around Gu Qingting, forming a demon-like phantom. Gu Qingting roared and leaped toward Su Chen.
What fast speed!
Su Chen did not even have time to teleport. He could only immediately activate Time Stop.
However, something unexpected happened. Time Stop did not work on Gu Qingting. He still crashed into Su Chen. With a loud bang, Su Chen was sent flying all the way until he hit the rock wall around the valley. He barely managed to stabilize himself.
"Pu …"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. If not for the protection of the eighth-grade Dragonscale Soft Armor, this collision would have crushed Su Chen into meat paste.
Why did Time Stop not work?
Su Chen's mind was in chaos. Time Stop was his most powerful life-saving skill. If it did not work, he had no chance of winning against Gu Qingting.
Could it be that Time Stop had a realm limit?
No.
It did not have any problems when he used it on Ju Wujin.
Su Chen focused his gaze on Gu Qingting and soon got the answer.
This guy was dead drunk, but he had the advantage against Su Chen. Time Stop could only be effective on those who were observing Su Chen. But Gu Qingting was not in a clear state of mind, and his mind was only filled with Tantai Jingchu. Even if his eyes saw Su Chen, his consciousness was not on Su Chen. So Time Stop was ineffective on him.
In this way, he easily resolved the effect of Time Stop.
It was really a coincidence.
But this also made Su Chen alert.
Although Time Stop was useful, if one knew the principle, it would be easy to break it. As long as one closed their eyes and blocked their five senses, Su Chen would not be able to do anything to the other party.
Of course, if he did this, it would be difficult for the other party to attack Su Chen.
But at least he would be able to take the initiative.
Without much time to think, Su Chen saw Gu Qingting once again dashing towards DreamBdie.
"Big, big, big!"
Su Chen groaned. The Pangu Divine Axe rapidly expanded and broke free from Gu Qingting's divine runes.
DreamBdie did not stand there foolishly. She immediately used the Pangu Divine Axe to block and avoided Gu Qingting's figure. At the same time, she activated her Butterfly Dance Domain. Thousands of spirit butterflies quickly appeared and covered the sky, blocking Gu Qingting's vision.
DreamBdie was clear that her strength was not enough to pose any threat to Gu Qingting. But Gu Qingting was drunk and his perception was not good. Even with her ability, if she interfered a little, it would be enough to completely cut off Gu Qingting's perception of the outside world and turn him into a caged beast.
"Well done."
Su Chen could not help but praise. My wife is so smart. Her reaction speed is top-notch.
Hearing Su Chen's voice, Gu Qingting howled and suddenly punched out. Spiritual light flashed and turned into a black beam of light that swept towards Su Chen.
But this time, Gu Qingting could not easily hurt Su Chen, who was prepared.
In a flash, Su Chen had already returned to the side of the Pangu Divine Axe. He grabbed the Pangu Divine Axe and teleported up again. With a burst of brute force, he swung the axe and sent the defenseless Gu Qingting flying.
