After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In
Chapter 87: Scared? Too Late Now

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Scared? Too Late Now

In the forest.

Feng Mei and the others stood at a distance, their faces filled with shock as they watched everything unfolding before them.

The incident happened so quickly that everyone was unable to react in time.

At this moment, all they saw was Gu An’s hand suspended in midair, stained in bright red.

And on the ground, a body was particularly conspicuous.

Its state of death was horrifying.

"You traitor who has mercilessly slaughtered your fellow disciples." Tongtong recovered from her shock, leaped up, bearing the accusation, with her sword pointing at Gu An.

The sword light had a flicker of thunder.

She attacked.

The sudden attack didn’t seem to concern Gu An.

As she closed in, he pointed out a finger.

Soul-shocking.

Gu An’s finger landed on her sword blade.

A wisp of black energy surged up, blocking the thunder on the sword.

Then the black energy churned.

Like a snake slithering.

Crack!

The Spirit Sword shattered on the spot.

The black energy continued to rise, entering Tongtong’s hand.

In an instant, Tongtong froze.

Then her pupils contracted and she spit out a mouthful of fresh blood with a look of terror in her eyes.

Her body’s Qi-Blood went into disarray.

"Ah!"

She screamed involuntarily as her body’s Qi-Blood rampaged.

Bang!

Blood exploded outwards like a burst.

Her whole body fell to her knees, weakened.

"No, spare me."

She cried out in terror.

Gu An approached her.

Placing a hand on her head, he looked at Feng Mei and Miao Yong, and gave a gentle twist.

Crack!

Tongtong, originally with her back turned to the two, suddenly faced them.

Her eyes wide with fear.

This scene made Miao Yong and Feng Mei instinctively retreat two steps.

How brutal the person before them was.

"Scared?" Gu An said to the two of them:

"You were ready to send me to my death with just a few words, why wouldn’t you be afraid?"

"It was your choice to go, we didn’t force you. If you went and died, it wasn’t us who acted." Feng Mei took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as she spoke.

Gu An looked at her, smiling:

"So it seems, I was a bit too aggressive?

Did I do something wrong?"

"Right or wrong is not important." Miao Yong cautiously said to the person before him:

"What’s important is that you’re unharmed and also undamaged.

This matter should be downplayed.

If you really were injured, seeking justice from us would be reasonable.

But you are unscathed; there is no need for such actions."

He had never expected the person before him to be so powerful.

Hearing this, Gu An appeared to have an epiphany: "It seems I really was wrong."

Just as the others felt a slight relief, Gu An continued to speak:

"Since I have already made a mistake, why not just keep going?"

Hearing this, the pupils of the two of them constricted.

They attempted to flee.

Moments later.

Two screams were heard.

Full of terror and despair.

Then everything returned to silence.

Following that, a large number of Demon Beasts started moving in this direction.

Soon, sounds of ripping and tearing emerged.

As if they were fighting over prey.

Meanwhile.

Gu An walked out of the forest, followed by four figures in red armor.

Two on each side, each carrying young Demon Beast cubs, one of them holding two.

Their strength all at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Gu An was examining four Storage Treasures.

He who kills must be prepared to be killed.

If this would cause trouble for himself, it naturally would for others as well.

One cannot just wait passively for their retaliation before taking action.

That would be too passive.

A slight misstep, and it could mean death.

So, if it can be dealt with, it should be dealt with directly.

Eliminate future troubles.

It’s just uncertain whether the people from the Law Enforcement Hall would investigate this Forest Garden.

Judging from the situation in the Vajra Wood Spirit Wood Garden, the Law Enforcement Hall probably won’t come.

At most, they’ll send someone to check.

Thus, Chen Yue’s role in this suddenly seems significant.

How can she be convinced to help?

Gu An looks at the four Storage Treasures.

Submit this and use the same reason as before?

Obviously inappropriate.

For a moment, Gu An is reminded of Zhong Bing’s words.

Perhaps something can be worked out with those Cultivation Techniques.

But to do so, one person must complete the work meant for five.

After a moment’s thought, Gu An decides to make another trip to the other lairs.

Dusk.

Nine red-armored individuals follow closely beside Gu An.

Each of them carries two Demon Beast cubs, including Gu An.

Before nightfall, he returns to the Forest Garden’s guard post.

He doesn’t bring the nine red Armored Soldiers inside; Demon Beasts cannot enter this room, as the signs indicate.

So he can only leave the Armored Soldiers to guard the twenty Demon Beast cubs.

He enters alone.

Moreover, the reason for not catching more isn’t a lack of desire but a shortage of collars.

Catching more would be tricky.

After all, without collars, the Demon Beast cubs won’t stay put,

and might attract adult Demon Beasts.

Upon entering the room, Gu An looks around.

Only the previous youth is present.

"Senior." Seeing Gu An coming, the youth immediately stands up and respectfully salutes.

"Where’s your team leader?" Gu An asks.

"In the back room," the youth quickly replies.

"Call him out, say someone has completed a task." Gu An speaks.

The youth nods and immediately walks to the back room.

Moments later.

Laughter echoes, "Is it Junior Brother Zhong coming to submit his task? I was wondering why he hadn’t returned so late, it turns out... why is it you?"

Just stepping out, Senior Brother Luo frowns slightly at the sight of Gu An.

He had expected Zhong Bing and the other four to return, not this old fellow.

Gu An says to him, "I’m here to submit a task."

"Your task has failed," Senior Brother Luo states bluntly.

"Failed?" Gu An is quite surprised, "Why?"

"You’re asking me why your task failed?" Senior Brother Luo sneers and shakes his head:

"Junior Brother Gu, don’t you know?

Oh, right, at nearly fifty years old, it’s about time you became senile.

Not knowing the task process is normal.

But not knowing and coming out to show off is a bit disrespectful for someone of your age.

Not knowing anything, yet claiming to have completed it?

Aren’t you ashamed?"

Gu An looks at the person before him, his expression unchanging, and takes a step forward.

Judging the distance, he raises his hand and slaps down.

Smack!

The crisp sound rings out.

This sudden change terrifies the youth beside him.

And Senior Brother Luo himself is furious, his eyes wide: "You old geezer, you..."

Smack!

Another slap lands, leaving Senior Brother Luo stunned.

Gu An simply looks at him coldly and says, "Say senior brother."

"Senior brother? Do you deserve it?" Senior Brother Luo cannot contain his mocking fury.

Gu An takes a step forward, grabs his shoulder, and then kicks out toward his knee.

Crack!

Bones break.

Senior Brother Luo leans forward, letting out a deafening scream.

He tries to circulate his Spiritual Energy to counterattack.

But suddenly his head feels heavy.

With a loud thud, his whole head hits the ground.

Blood pours out.

The shadow of impending death terrifies him.

"Senior, senior brother, have mercy, please have mercy," pleads Senior Brother Luo in terror,

His body trembling involitarily with each breath.

What kind of Qi Refining Eighth Layer is this?

Even at Ninth Level of Qi Refining, he’s like a small chicken in the other’s hands.

Absolutely no ability to resist.

"Don’t call me senior brother, I don’t deserve it," Gu An speaks indifferently.
