The two eyed each other coldly, seeming to gauge each other's weaknesses to deliver a fatal blow.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, a black snake coiled around Fang Ruolan's arm turned into a bolt of lightning and streaked towards Ye Chen.

This black snake was half a meter long, its slender body glossy and utterly black. The sinister way it flicked its forked tongue was truly chilling.

Despite the snake's lightning speed, Ye Chen, vigilant in all directions, instantly tracked its attack trajectory.

"Ding!"

Ye Chen, holding a coin between his fingers, let off a flash of silver light and struck the black snake.

However, Ye Chen's ruthless strike did not tear the flesh of the snake; instead, it produced a sound like metal clashing against stone.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

After being struck hard by Ye Chen, the black snake showed no signs of injury and instantly transformed into a bolt of black lightning, attacking again.

Ye Chen's expression grew grim. These Gu Masters were all bizarrely sinister, casually summoning Gu creatures that were extremely troublesome!

His fierce strike could have torn through iron, yet this little snake showed no sign of damage!

However, Ye Chen was somewhat relieved that, although the snake's speed was fast, its attack power was mediocre and didn't pose much of a threat to him.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The black snake was incredibly fast, its body flickering like lightning with each attack, but Ye Chen's sharp eyes captured every attack trajectory and repelled it.

"This is my Black Line Snake, tempered by me to be as tough as steel, completely impervious to weapons. You might block it once, ten times, a hundred times! But, can you withstand thousands of attacks?" Fang Ruolan said coldly.

This Black Line Snake, one of Fang Ruolan's fierce Gu Kings, had a body as hard as steel and was incredibly tough and fast. Its only flaw was its slightly weaker attack. Against an ordinary martial arts master, it could be lethal in a single strike, but it was somewhat inadequate against a real expert.

"Even if it was made of steel, I can pierce through it violently, let alone a mere black snake!" Ye Chen laughed wantonly, his Grandmaster's aura fully unleashed as he violently slashed at the black lightning.

"Bang!"

The black snake was instantly struck down by the tremendous force, hitting the ground so hard that it created a deep pit.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

However, the Black Line Snake, crafted by Fang Ruolan as an extremely strong Gu creature, would not be so easily defeated. A bolt of lightning sped out of the pit towards Ye Chen's eyes.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen stood firm as a mountain, a flash of silver streaking by as he once again slashed the Black Line Snake down, smashing it fiercely to the ground.

Though the Black Line Snake was strong, it too had its limits of endurance. Once the force of Ye Chen's blow exceeded these limits, the snake would be easily slain by him.

Fang Ruolan obviously also recognized her disadvantage. A sizable spider leaped from her body towards Ye Chen.

This spider's body was mottled with flowers, exuding a cold and deadly aura. As it neared Ye Chen, it suddenly spat out countless fine threads, forming a large web that swooped down towards him!

Having just repelled the Black Line Snake, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable sense of crisis at the sight of the approaching web.

This web cannot be forcefully resisted!

Sensing imminent danger, Ye Chen instantly leaped aside, dodging the large web.

"Sss~sss~sss~"

The web missed and hit the ground, where it eroded the solid highway surface, revealing the potency of its toxins.

"What!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen's pupils constricted. The Gu Master's methods were indeed unpredictably terrifying; he had never encountered such a frightening Gu creature before.

If that web had landed on him, his flesh would have been eaten away, exposing his bare bones!

"This is my Flower Spider Gu King, not only immune to blades and spears, its silk web contains a deadly poison that can corrode anything." Fang Ruolan stood quietly, her two Gu creatures alone catching Ye Chen off guard, filling her with a sense of pride. "Hand over the Golden Silkworm Gu King, or I will kill you today. You should believe that I have the ability!"

"I've survived countless life-and-death situations, born from bloodshed, and risen from the steps of corpses. You want to kill me? Dream on!" Ye Chen's blood boiled from the attack of the two Gu creatures, and he sneered as he launched a surprise attack on Fang Ruolan.

Shoot the horse before the soldier, capture the king before the thief!

If Ye Chen could capture or kill Fang Ruolan, then these Gu creatures would be insignificant without someone to control them, and their threat level would be greatly reduced.

Fang Ruolan was a Gu Master, and the most terrifying thing about such people was their ability to control Gu. Their personal combat strength was not very formidable.

So, once Ye Chen got close, Fang Ruolan might not have much capability to resist!

"You think I'll give you the chance to get close?" Fang Ruolan smiled lightly, then suddenly shook her long robe, releasing countless Gu creatures from it.

Ye Chen's combat ability was terrifying, almost at the level of late Grandmaster, while her true combat strength was just at the early Grandmaster Stage. If they were to fight at close quarters, Ye Chen would surely win overwhelmingly, something Fang Ruolan was well aware of.

However, Fang Ruolan was a master of the Gu technique, why should she abandon her strength to fight a brute?

As she shook her robe, centipedes, toads, snakes, and scorpions massed together, all hurling towards Ye Chen.

"Damn you! If you have the guts, fight the War God in hand-to-hand combat, playing with little animals is no real skill!"

Seeing the sky filled with poisonous creatures, Ye Chen's pupils shrank, his body hair standing on end at this moment, an eerie sensation overcoming him.

"Quack! Quack!"

"Hiss~~ Hiss~~ Hiss~~"

"Zzz~zzz~"

Gus from all over the sky descended, all targeting Ye Chen. If these Gus entwined him, he would have been killed instantly.

"Fuck you, asshole!"

Ye Chen cursed out loud and immediately fled. He was unarmed, and with so many ferocious Gus attacking, they would have devoured even his liver!

"Ye Chen, you son of a bitch, running away like that?"

Ye Chen was so scared of these bizarre creatures that he fled in panic, which really angered Liu Shihua. Was this bastard planning to abandon her?

Ye Chen fled swiftly and disappeared in the blink of an eye, while those terrifying Gus relentlessly pursued him.

Fang Ruolan stood her ground; her mind controlled the Gus, nearly a hundred of which had flown out from her and pursued Ye Chen. Even though Fang Ruolan was a Gu Master, she could barely control so many Gus and was at risk of backlash if she wasn't careful.

"Damn it, my Golden Toad Ferocious Gu was killed by him!" Suddenly, Fang Ruolan opened her eyes, her face turning slightly pale.

The last time Fang Ruolan cursed Tong Xingtong and Ye Wushuang through Gus, Ye Chen had expelled and suppressed them, and even suppressed her own Gu King, which had injured her vital energy.

Over the past days, Fang Ruolan had been quietly recuperating, restoring herself to her peak condition. She never expected Ye Chen to kill one of her ferocious Gus now, damaging her newly recovered vital energy again.

"Damn, my Golden Snake Ferocious Gu was also eradicated by him!" Fang Ruolan's face grew even paler as Ye Chen had killed another of her ferocious Gus.

The relation between Gus and a Gu Master is intimate; the more evolved the Gus, the stronger the Gu Master becomes.

But when a Gu is damaged, the Gu Master also sustains some consequences. However, these consequences, just some lost vital energy, could be recovered from with some rest.

"The Eight-legged Centipede is also dead, the Gold-rising Snake is gone too. What the hell did he do, killing my four ferocious Gus so quickly!" Fang Ruolan became somewhat distraught. Even if the impact of the Gus on the Gu Master was minor, it was still overwhelming if the Gus kept being destroyed.

If Ye Chen exterminated all her Gus, then Fang Ruolan would be severely wounded in her vital energy, and it would take her years to recover.

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. In that moment, Fang Ruolan felt several more of her ferocious Gus were wiped out.

The continuous destruction of her ferocious Gus was starting to terrify Fang Ruolan.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground continued to shake, like some terrifying monster was stomping its way towards them. Ye Chen was coming.

"What!"

Fang Ruolan's face showed a look of shock as she saw Ye Chen wielding a huge electrical pole, swinging it wildly in the air, smashing the ground, and her ferocious Gus, being uncontrollably wiped out, fled chaotically towards her.

"Damn it, don't think I'm afraid of you, woman. I went to find a suitable weapon to come back and whip you to death!"

Ye Chen came furiously, like he had transformed into a super Saiyan. The gigantic utility pole, several tens of centimeters thick and seven to eight meters long, weighed nothing in his hand as he continuously swung it down, sweeping away all the Gu creatures. Some Gu creatures couldn't dodge in time and were directly killed or crushed by the pole.

Fang Ruolan watched the man who seemed like a War God descending to earth, her complexion growing paler and paler as the Gu creatures she controlled were continuously annihilated, seriously draining her vital energy.

"No wonder he's the man Liu Shihua set her sights on, even his fighting looks so handsome!" Liu Shihua was already dumbstruck, the way Ye Chen swung the utility pole was simply dashing to the bone.

Fang Ruolan stared intently at Ye Chen, unable to believe that human strength could be so formidable. The steel-built utility pole was incredibly heavy, even a Mid Grandmaster Stage expert would feel exhausted swinging it.

But soon, Fang Ruolan was disappointed. It seemed like Ye Chen had Innate Divine Strength, not feeling tired at all. He brandished the utility pole, sweeping through the crowd of Gu creatures, becoming more vigorous as the battle progressed, showing no signs of fatigue!

"Even if you are a saintess, but since you aim for my life, I will whip you to death with this utility pole!" Ye Chen's dominance knew no bounds, sweeping through a type of Gu creature, his gaze at Fang Ruolan filled with chilling coldness.

The utility pole in Ye Chen's hands was forged from steel and weighed several thousand pounds, not even a Mid Grandmaster Stage expert could swing it as casually as he did.

Ye Chen was able to do this because of his Innate Divine Strength, and over the years, he deliberately refined his muscles and bones with medications, which is why his physical strength was so terrifying, practically comparable to a Grandmaster Peak-level expert!

This was also why Ye Chen at the Mid Grandmaster Stage could fight against a Grandmaster Peak-level giant crocodile, his Innate Divine Strength was inexhaustible!

The sky was filled with Gu creatures swept across, though controlled by Fang Ruolan, they had some intelligence, knowing to dodge danger.

Ye Chen came furiously, violently smashing the utility pole, making these Gu creatures realize the danger and naturally scattered to run for their lives.

"Ye Chen, I am a Miaojiang priestess, how dare you hurt me?!" Fang Ruolan shouted angrily.

Ye Chen swept away all of Fang Ruolan's fierce Gu creatures, her own combat power severely lacking, and she was completely overpowered by Ye Chen.

However, Fang Ruolan was not afraid, solely because of her status as a Miaojiang priestess. Offending her would mean offending the entire Miaojiang, and she didn't believe Ye Chen dared to strike her!

"Priestess? I'll whip you to death with one swing!"

Ye Chen came furiously, with a disdainful look, directly swinging the utility pole at Fang Ruolan.

"What! You!"

Fang Ruolan hadn't expected that Ye Chen, upon knowing her identity, would still dare to strike her harshly, so she hadn't planned to dodge or defend at all.

Therefore, as the utility pole came crashing down, Fang Ruolan was caught off guard, unable to defend in time.

"Pfft!" Fang Ruolan was struck by Ye Chen with the utility pole, spat blood, and flew through the air.
