Chapter 23 Gu Yan's Treasure
The battle between Gu Ruiqing and Zhao Zhiheng, two nine-star Grand Dou Masters, was naturally earth-shattering.
Gu Tianyao and Gu Tianyang faced off against two Seven-Star Grand Dou Masters from three other cities.
The three battles were evenly matched for a time.
However, this was naturally Gu Yan's arrangement.
With the current strength of Gu Ruiqing and his two companions, defeating these three would not be difficult.
At the same time, somewhere in the Gu family's residence.
Zhao Zhiren staggered back several steps, his blood and qi surging within him, and he was greatly alarmed.
He stared at the figure in front of him with surprise, his brows furrowed slightly.
Its entire body was dark blue-green, and its skin was like cast metal, reflecting a cold luster.
His facial expression was blank, and his eyes were empty and lifeless, like a dead object.
His body lines are strong and perfect, exuding a sense of power.
What the hell is this thing?
Just now, this thing suddenly rushed out and punched Zhao Zhiren, catching him off guard and causing him great harm.
However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other party's aura was also at the Great Dou Shi level.
Just as Zhao Zhiren was wondering what was going on, the strange figure with its slightly mechanical movements launched another swift and fierce attack, slapping towards Zhao Zhiren's head.
"At the Great Dou Master level, I, Zhao Zhiren, will not let you succeed again!" Zhao Zhiren snorted coldly, circulating all his Dou Qi. Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura swept out, causing the figure's movements to pause slightly.
Before the figure's large hand could even touch Zhao Zhiren's head, Zhao Zhiren had already thrown a punch.
"Thump!"
A collision sound rang out, and the moment a palm and a fist made contact, the figure was sent flying back several feet.
Before he even landed, Zhao Zhiren had already unleashed another Seven Absolute Fist.
At the critical moment, another strange figure descended from the sky, wielding a heavy hammer and smashing it down.
Zhao Zhi immediately withdrew and retreated.
The hammer struck the ground with a deafening roar, and cracks spread rapidly.
The two puppets attacked Zhao Zhiren alone. Although they didn't completely overwhelm him, they still put him under tremendous pressure.
He didn't understand at all.
These two strange figures possessed an aura of approximately seven-star Grand Dou Masters, but their combat strength reached eight stars. When they joined forces, they could even put pressure on him, a nine-star Grand Dou Master.
When did the Gu family acquire such a monster?
Meanwhile, the Dou Shi experts brought by Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zhiren were already entangled with the Dou Shi of the Gu family.
As for the three Grand Masters, Luo Xingchen, Ren Yunfan, and Li Fan, they also encountered that strange puppet.
They were all eight-star Grand Dou Masters, so naturally they couldn't break free from the puppet that also possessed the combat power of an eight-star Grand Dou Master.
After hearing his clansmen run up and report on the battle, Gu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
These five puppets were obtained when he was ten years old.
They were sealed in a bronze box, which seemed to be a self-contained space.
There was a lock on the bronze box. The moment Gu Yan touched the lock, his fighting spirit was swallowed up by the strange lock.
At that moment, Gu Yan was almost scared to death.
He thought that his hard-earned fighting spirit had been completely absorbed by the box like Xiao Yan's, and he would have to start all over again.
After calming down, he discovered that his cultivation level was still there, only slightly reduced.
Gu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the lock wasn't as ruthless as the old man.
Gu Yan examined the box more closely and found several lines of small characters on it.
The gist is that there are five broken pieces of metal inside. Although their strength isn't great, they still possess the combat power of a Great Battle Master. They're left for someone with the right destiny.
As for the lock, it was also created by the puppet maker. It would automatically open once it absorbed a certain amount of energy.
So Gu Yan took the box home and told Gu Ruiqing and the others that there were five puppets at the level of a Great Dou Master inside.
Gu Ruiqing and the others looked delighted and immediately tried to infuse energy into it.
However, after several people tried, the lock did not react at all when they touched it.
The lock will only react when Gu Yan touches it.
In the end, everyone concluded that the lock could only absorb the energy of one person from beginning to end.
It doesn't want anyone else's energy.
Left with no other choice, in the following years, Gu Yan would not only work hard to cultivate, but also regularly infuse energy into the lock.
After all, although the box said that there were five puppets with the combat power of a Great Dou Master inside, Gu Yan did not know the specifics, and it was also unknown whether he could control the five puppets after the lock was opened.
Therefore, he felt that improving his own abilities was more important.
Finally, as the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. The day after Gu Yan broke through to the four-star Dou Shi, the lock was finally opened!
The words on the box weren't lying; there really were five puppets inside.
However, the method of controlling them was not explained.
After much research, Gu Yan finally found a way to control the five puppets after returning from Qingshan Town.
That's why we're in this situation today.
They were Gu Yan's most prized possessions.
Nodding slightly, Gu Yan took out the Soul Burial Pearl; it was time for him to make his move.
The first person Gu Yan approached was a nine-star Dou Shi from the Zhao family, named Zhao De Niu.
This man was burly, shirtless, and covered in bulging muscles, making him look quite intimidating.
However, he was still somewhat inferior to Gu Yan.
When the Gu family members saw Zhao Deniu being sent flying by Gu Yan's palm strike, everyone's eyes widened and their mouths opened, but they didn't know how to express their shock.
Their current patriarch, Gu Yan, is fifteen years old and sent a nine-star Dou Shi flying with a single palm strike!
What incredible combat power!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers.
The morale of the Gu family members soared, and they followed behind Gu Yan, searching for their next target.
What happened next is self-evident; those below the Great Dou Master level were no match for Gu Yan.
Seeing Gu Yan defeat them one by one with incredible skill, the younger generation of the Gu family all looked on with admiration.
All the members of the Gu family were filled with excitement and passion.
Damn it, is our Gu family really about to rise to power?!
Before long, all the invading Dou Shi level experts had been collected into the Soul Burial Pearl.
Luo Xingchen, Ren Yunfan, and Li Fan were all incredulous when they discovered this.
Isn't Gu Yan only fifteen years old this year?
Even a nine-star Dou Shi is no match for him?
Wait a minute!
Could it be that the seven Battle Masters of the Zhao family...
The moment these three realized this, Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zhiren also realized it.
Zhao Zhiheng immediately turned to Gu Ruiqing and said coldly, "Was it that brat Gu Yan who killed seven Dou Shi from my Gu family?"
Zhao Zhiren's lips twitched.
At fifteen years old, killing a nine-star Dou Shi is as easy as killing a chicken?
My goodness!
Is this even human?
How did such a prodigy appear in the Gu family?
Gu Ruiqing smiled slightly and said, "Not only that, the puppet that's stopping Zhao Zhiren now was also brought back by my Yan'er."
"What?!"
Zhao Zhiheng's eyes widened, a complex emotion rising in his heart.
Is Heaven going to destroy my Zhao family?
