Chapter 1391 - The First Chaos of the Nine Tribulations in the Upper Three Heavens

Chapter 1391 The First Chaos of the Nine Tribulations in the Upper Three Heavens Sixth-grade Sword Saint!This was the highest cultivation that Gu Duxing could expose now that he had concealed his cultivation. It was also the most unconcealable aura. Mo Tianji tailored it for Gu Duxing, deliberately allowing him to reveal a sharp edge.

Lan Yingyu fixed his eyes on him and saw that Gu Duxing was full of inner strength, and within each movement, there was sword intent. It was as though every hair of his contained a sharp sword aura.
It was also the charm of sixth or seventh-grade Sword Saints: The sword aura flowed like a river, the sword light shone like the Big Dipper stars.
Lan Yingyu was immensely shocked. He had tried to solicit Gu Duxing in the Middle Three Heavens solely because he saw his potential. Although Gu Duxing was already a Sword Emperor at that time, in Lan Yingyu’s opinion, he just had a terrible potential.
However, he did not expect that his progress would be so unusual. Within two years, his cultivation improved from Sword Emperor to sixth-grade Sword Saint!
Such progress was unique even in the Upper Three Heavens, not to mention the Middle Three Heavens which severely lacked spiritual energy!
Lan Yingyu’s face flushed with excitement.
Brother Gu, are you serious?

Gu Duxing nodded indifferently and answered,
Yes!

Lan Yingyu stood up rapidly.
Do you dare to fight with me?

Gu Duxing’s eyes swept across, and sword intent emerged all over him. He replied gently,
I’m afraid I’d hurt you accidentally!

Mo Tianji scolded him in his heart. Gu Duxing is such a dumbass, he doesn’t even know he needs to be humble when asking people for a favor.
He hurriedly interrupted and said,
Duxing has always practiced killing swordsmanship. This… I am afraid it is not suitable for friendly fights…


I see.
Lan Yingyu felt a sense of relief in his heart. He smiled.
I’m sure there won’t be any accidents. I’ll arrange for it with my eldest brother right now.
After finishing speaking, he hurried out.
Mo Tianji murmured,
Could your facial expression be kinder?

Gu Duxing sneered.
You can control nature, but you can’t control my facial expressions.

Mo Tianji started to boil with anger at this.
Gu Duxing said via telepathy,
This is too risky… The Nine Heavens has just been opened, can they suspect that we are the Nine Tribulations coming up?

Mo Tianji smiled indifferently and said,
I’m afraid… they won’t suspect that.

…
Lan Yingyu hurried to find Lan Yingfeng and found him in the middle of much anxiety. When he heard such a thing, he was stunned.
This actually happened?


Absolutely!

Lan Yingfeng started thinking and muttered,
But… but this name of Gu Duxing, why does it sound so familiar…

Lan Yingyu said,
Haha, Big Brother really has an extraordinary memory. The last time after I returned, I mentioned to you about several young talents from the Middle Three Heavens, and the first among them was Gu Duxing.

Lan Yingfeng nodded.
I see.
He felt that his memory was a bit blurry.
Actually, Lan Yingfeng’s memory was not blurry, but he had already heard two people mentioning the name of Gu Duxing: The first was naturally Lan Yingyu, and the second was… that Elder Master who went into seclusion.
The first time the Elder Master came back from outside, he had mentioned to Lan Yingfeng about Gu Duxing, and then he went out again. Lan Yingfeng didn’t care much about it, so he indeed forgot about it…
Lan Yingfeng frowned and said,
If that’s indeed the case, it’s a good thing. But now that the Nine Heavens are open and the Nine Tribulations have come up, since this person is so talented, could he be one of the Nine Tribulations?

Lan Yingyu was immediately stunned. He really didn’t think about this possibility.

However, no matter whether he is one of the Nine Tribulations or just here to join us… this person must stay for us to take a look.
Lan Yingfeng paused and said,
Sixth-grade Sword Saint… Then, arrange for a first-grade Supreme Martial Artist to try him.


Alright!

Within the time for a cup of tea.
Gu Duxing and Mo Tianji were invited to a small square outside the hall. In the field stood an old man with a kind face.
Around them, the Clan Head of the Lan Clan, Lan Yingfeng, and several others were watching the fight.
Obviously, the Lan Clan took this fight seriously.
It was not necessary to add so much importance to a Sword Saint. The key was that speculation in Lan Yingfeng’s mind: Could he be one of the Nine Tribulations?
This speculation made the test a critical one.
At this moment, Lan Yingfeng’s gaze fixated on Gu Duxing, and Gu Guxing stood on the side of the field, standing side by side with Mo Tianji, but his whole aura was lonely and desolate.
Although he stood in the crowd, he used this inexplicable aura to isolate himself inadvertently.
He didn’t seem to belong to this world or this space.
It was a complete loneliness.
Lan Yingfeng frowned and whispered to himself internally,
Heart locked and mind isolated, a high sword aura. If he was one of the Nine Tribulations, he’d be too repulsive…


Please!
‘ That first-grade Supreme Martial Artist from the Lan Clan gave an invitation.
Gu Duxing’s facial expression was cold as ice. He stepped out with one hand pressing on his sword hilt while his black cloak fluttered in the wind, and he remained silent.
Only his two eyes shot out two sharp gazes, and in just an instant, sword aura emerged, rushing right toward the sky!
Though he didn’t speak, everyone understood what he was about to say,
To fight is to kill!

The expression of the Supreme Martial Artist opposite him turned icy. He sneered.
Little kid… You actually dare to speak so wildly!

Gu Duxing’s eyes remained fixed, his expressions unchanged and his body still. With a clang, the Black Dragon Sword actually already appeared in his hand like a flash of light.
A king-like inviolable and holy aura emerged!
The Supreme Martial Artist opposite him had prepared for this from early on. His one hand was pressing on the sword hilt the entire time, but right now, that bright and clear sound of sword seemed to go all the way up to the clouds, such that the sword on his waist actually couldn’t control itself and automatically withdrew from its case for half a foot!
A chilly light flickered!
That Supreme Martial Artist pulled his sword, and his face had already changed.
The faces of everyone around them changed at the same time!
Unexpectedly, the sword intent of a sixth-grade Sword Saint could actually affect a first-grade Supreme Martial Artist! This was simply incredible …
Everyone was shocked. It turned out that a Sword Saint… was really so powerful.
The two in the field were already tumbling together, fighting.
At this moment, Lan Yingfeng didn’t care about victory or defeat. He was watching Gu Duxing’s demeanor and manners of using his sword. The same was true for several people around him.

How?
Lan Yingfeng asked softly via telepathy.

His swordsmanship is lonely and so is his heart,
replied a Supreme Martial Artist beside him.

He abandoned everything,
said another Supreme Martial Artist.

He worships none but his own sword. This is a ruthless person,
said yet another.

The emotions of the Nine Tribulations move the heavens and earth! Such an emotionless man can hardly be one of the Nine Tribulations!
One person concluded.
The others nodded slowly.
Lan Yingfeng frowned.
During the discussion, a groan came from the field and there was actually already a result.
That Supreme Martial Artist of the Lan Clan suffered a blow on his shoulder and blood started trickling down. While Gu Duxing had two wounds across his chest. Yet that grunt came from the Supreme Martial Artist of the Lan Clan.
As for Gu Duxing, not even his facial expression changed. The look in his eyes was indifferent. It was as though the bleeding wound on his chest was not his.
This gave one a feeling: Even if his head was chopped off, Gu Duxing would not make a sound.
He was such a person!
The result of this battle was somewhat different from what everyone had predicted. Originally, everyone thought that Gu Duxing could defend himself for a few moves at best, but they did not expect that it would end in a loss for both sides!
Next, Lan Yingfeng naturally put on a look of great joy and sent someone to arrange Gu Duxing and Mo Tianji into the inner rooms to treat the injury, and he also instructed the servants to serve them well.
After some consolation, he finally returned to his secret chamber.

Send an effective man immediately and go to the Middle Three Heavens to inquire about Gu Duxing. I want all… accurate information!
Lan Yingfeng gave an order at once.
Once you get the news, you need to come back immediately to report it to me!


Yes!


Do it now!

Lan Yingfeng watched the man leave, his face was strange.
It doesn’t matter if you are one of the Nine Tribulations, now that you’ve arrived at the Lan Clan, don’t you expect to go out again! Just give me three days and all your details will be right in front of me.
Lan Yingfeng sneered internally.
…
Lan Yingfeng did not even think, how could Mo Tianji give him three days? Mo Tianji would not give him even one hour…

Duxing, how are you?


No problem!


That’s good! We’ll start tonight!


So fast?
Gu Duxing was a little surprised.
Tonight should be the time when they watch us very carefully…

Mo Tianji sneered.
When they relax their watch on us, we’ll take charge. The safest time for us is only the first half of the night today, even the second half of the night is not safe!


Tonight will be the first of the Nine Tribulations!

…
At night.
Several Supreme Martial Artists were in the dark, watching the rooms where Mo Tianji and Gu Duxing stayed. For two men with the cultivation of sixth-grade Sword Saint and lower, the Lan Clan already made it a big deal to dispatch four Supreme Martial Artists for their surveillance.
In the darkness, a dark shadow fluttered and suddenly appeared outside the guest room. A flicker of sword light seemed to flash in the complete darkness…
Gu Duxing used one hand to support the Supreme Martial Artist who had just been killed by his one move of sword and laid him gently on the ground. The only noise made was the sound of placing a foot gently on the grass.
On one side, a voice whispered,
Hmm?

Gu Duxing let out a sigh of relief, lowered his voice and said vaguely,
…It’s not right.


What is not right?
There was the sound of wind and another Supreme Martial Artist leaped over.
A completely black sword tip silently pierced his throat just as he came over. The sword aura suddenly exploded and controlled his brain at once, and then it controlled his meridians, rushed into his Dantian and burst suddenly…
This Supreme Martial Artist also fell silently.
With the cultivation of peak-level second-grade Sword Supremacy, Gu Duxing could deal with several ordinary first-grade Supreme Martial Artists without breaking a sweat!
He placed the two people beside the wall, completely absorbed the bloody smell with the black dragon sword and let the two bodies sit opposite each other. If anyone saw it, they would just think that they were discussing and thinking about something with their heads down…
The passage on the entire side was clear.
Gu Duoxing gently exhaled, and his breath reached Mo Tianji’s window.
Under the light, Mo Tianji’s figure appeared in the window. He seemed to shake a little before he opened the window.
The two Supreme Martial Artists on the other side suddenly felt some stress in their hearts.
But then Mo Tianji sighed and murmured,
The Upper Three Heavens is really different…
He actually breathed deeply and looked at the starlight in the sky with affection.
The two Supreme Martial Artists relaxed.
Mo Tianji sighed for a while, and then he finally blew out the lights. They only heard some rustling sounds as he went to bed. But the window on the other side was actually opened gently. At the moment when the two Supreme Martial Artists thought that Mo Tianji finished his contemplation and went back to sleep, Mo Tianji himself floated out silently…
The gentle breathing sound in the room remained… That was the small device that Chu Yang once left for Mo Tianji, which could naturally use the sound of wind to imitate the sound of breathing…
