As her words fell, a surge of purple energy burst from Gu Yuena's body, and she flickered.
At the edge of the training ground, Hu Yan Zhen was about to force his way in, but in the next second, his body suddenly trembled and froze in place.
A tall, flawlessly beautiful figure had appeared not far in front of him at some unknown point, and on her expressionless, cold face, a bone-chilling killing intent was evident.
The aura emanating from her was like a massive mountain, suddenly pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Hu Yan Zhen's pupils suddenly constricted, knowing that this person's strength was by no means simple, far exceeding the strongest he had ever known.
A strong sense of unease surged in his heart, and Hu Yan Zhen said without hesitation, "I am Hu Yan Zhen, Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Academy, and I have close ties with the Spirit Hall. May I know your esteemed name?"
Gu Yuena didn't even blink her eyelashes, saying coldly, "The dying are not worthy of knowing my name."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yan Zhen's face instantly turned grim, but the woman before him gave him an extremely strong sense of oppression, so he dared not act rashly and could only continue to bluff.
With a cold snort, Hu Yan Zhen said in a deep voice, "I merely wanted to enter the training ground to investigate, yet you wish to kill me. Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"
"Although my strength is not comparable to yours, my Elephant Armored Academy has secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall. Do you not even put the Spirit Hall in your eyes?"
Originally, for the Elephant Armored Academy, as one of the Lower Four Sects, to secretly pledge allegiance to the Spirit Hall was not something honorable, but now, to avoid this mysterious woman acting against him, Hu Yan Zhen no longer cared about keeping it hidden.
Qian Renxue, seeing this, cursed silently in her heart.
"Hu Yan Zhen, this idiot, is truly more likely to cause trouble than to succeed. If he alerts the Upper Three Sects because of this, then he truly deserves to die a thousand deaths."
Currently, the Spirit Hall was already powerful. If the Upper Three Sects were to know that some of the Lower Four Sects had secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall, what would they think, and would they unite to resist the Spirit Hall?
Of course, this was not what angered Qian Renxue the most.
What truly angered her was, what if Qi Lin later attributed Hu Yan Zhen's foolish actions to the Spirit Hall, and even began to reject the Spirit Hall?
Besides Qian Renxue, the surrounding onlookers were also greatly astonished.
They had thought the Elephant Armored Academy was merely close to the Spirit Hall, but they never expected them to have directly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall.
They were truly hidden deeply enough!
Thinking of this, a chill ran through the hearts of many.
The Spirit Hall's strength was already greater than that of the Upper Three Sects, and its status on the continent was even more transcendent. Now, even the Elephant Armored Academy, one of the Lower Four Sects, had been secretly recruited.
What was the Spirit Hall trying to do?
As everyone was thinking and whispering, Gu Yuena's serene face showed no emotional change. Instead, she slowly raised her hand towards Hu Yan Zhen with an indifferent expression.
In the next second, Hu Yan Zhen's body seemed to lose gravity, his feet lifting off the ground as he floated into mid-air, a look of terror appearing on his face.
He opened his mouth to speak, but to his horror, he found that he couldn't make any sound.
Furthermore, something even more terrifying happened.
Hu Yan Zhen felt a terrifying pressure surging towards him from all directions, squeezing every inch of his body.
As this pressure continuously increased, Hu Yan Zhen's expression gradually became grim. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't move an inch, only able to watch as his body continuously deformed under the pressure.
Visibly, Hu Yan Zhen's entire body was engorged with blood, his eyeballs protruded, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Everyone watching this scene had only shock in their eyes, their mouths agape but daring not to make a sound.
One must know that although Hu Yan Zhen was only an eighty-ninth-rank Spirit Douluo, his Spirit was the Diamond Mammoth, one of the top defensive Spirits. Ordinary Titled Douluo would even find it difficult to break his defense, let alone kill him.
This was also why the Elephant Armored Academy could be listed as one of the Seven Great Sects on the continent.
However, such a strong expert, who even a Titled Douluo found troublesome, had no power to resist in front of this woman.
Most importantly, they could not discern the limit of this woman's strength.
No Spirit possession, no Spirit Ability released!
Yet she could still effortlessly suppress a strong expert who even a Titled Douluo found troublesome.
Bang!
Just as everyone was shocked, Hu Yan Zhen's body suddenly exploded, leaving no bones behind, directly turning into a cloud of blood mist.
This horrifying scene instantly left everyone present dumbfounded.
Hu Yan Zhen was instantly killed just like that!
Everyone looked at Gu Yuena, with only one thought in their minds.
What a terrifying woman!
The Heaven Dou Academy and Tianshui Academy members, who were familiar with Gu Yuena, were also utterly shocked.
Only Xiao Wu thought it was to be expected. The others, although they could guess that Gu Yuena was very strong, never expected her to be this strong, almost inhumanly strong!
"Is… is this Na Jie's strength?"
"So terrifying. I feel Na Jie's strength is much stronger than Grandpa Sword's and Bone Grandpa's," Ning Rongrong murmured in shock.
The others also said, "I never expected Na Jie, who usually keeps a low profile, to be so terrifyingly strong. How exactly did she cultivate?"
"Moreover, with Na Jie's immense strength, I've never heard her name on the continent before."
After recovering, Flender even beat his chest in regret.
Liu Erlong smiled bitterly, "I never expected this Miss Gu Yuena to be so strong."
She and Gu Yuena had met several times, but Gu Yuena had a cold personality, so there had been no conversation between them.
In the crowd, Qian Renxue was also deeply shocked.
From Gu Yuena's body, at the moment Gu Yuena made her move, she felt an unprecedented pressure, a pressure that even surpassed the feeling her Grandpa gave her.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
She could basically confirm that the woman before her and her Grandpa were of the same kind, otherwise, how could she possess such strength at such an age?
Indeed, Qi Lin was also a chosen inheritor of a certain deity.
For some reason, a hint of joy flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
It seemed that she and Qi Lin were indeed the most compatible!
On the other side, after effortlessly crushing Hu Yan Zhen, Gu Yuena scanned the surroundings without blinking, and said indifferently, "Irrelevant people, you have three seconds. Leave this place!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
Before she finished counting, everyone gathered outside the training ground shivered, turned around without looking back, and left, fearing they would end up like Hu Yan Zhen if they didn't leave quickly enough.
Qian Renxue took a deep look at Qi Lin, her lips curving upwards, and after nodding and smiling at Gu Yuena, she also turned and left.
Soon, only Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, and their group remained in the training ground; even the three instructors had left.
An hour after everyone had left.
A golden divine light shot straight up from Qi Lin's body, dyeing the entire sky a brilliant golden color at that moment.
In the next second, Qi Lin suddenly opened his eyes.
Creating cultivation techniques is as easy as pie!
