Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 8: The Sixth Prince's First Battle!

After reading Li Biluo's information, Gu Jiancheng was quite satisfied.

This system is just too stingy; it can only be used for three days. Permanent synthesis is nice, but it requires 1000 strategy points. You might as well just rob it!

“Biluo, your mistress is probably unaware of the treacherous and despicable nature of the Shadow Kill Valley assassins. Go and protect her.”

"Remember, don't expose yourself!" Gu Jiancheng instructed.

"Here!"

Li Biluo nodded, and then suddenly disappeared, vanishing like a wisp of smoke.

Although using a Dao Palace realm cultivator to deal with a Foundation Establishment realm trash is a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, there's no other way, as this is the worst summoning card he has.

Moreover, experts at the Dao Palace Realm are more efficient and decisive in their work.

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng glanced at the darkness of the canyon, sneered, and took advantage of the chaos to run towards a corner.

Now, it's his turn to make a move!

"Heh, you're courting death!"

Outside the Imperial Guards, a cultivator in the darkness stared for a moment, then, like a night owl, silently passed over the Imperial Guards.

Just a few breaths later, it landed quietly.

Dressed entirely in black, exuding a terrifying aura of blood, he looked at Gu Jiancheng, who stood before the precipice seemingly with no way out, and let out a sinister laugh that sounded like a ghost's wail: "Sixth Prince, you have nowhere to escape!?"

The black-clad cultivator was in no hurry to make a move. In his eyes, the sixth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was powerless to even kill a chicken, was nothing more than an ant.

"Heh, when did this prince ever think of escaping?"

But what made the black-clad cultivator's eyes change slightly was that Gu Jiancheng, who was standing in front of the cliff, suddenly turned around, his face as calm as a still well, showing no sign of panic.

"oh!?"

"Everyone says that the Sixth Prince is a lecherous man, but I never expected that he would show some courage when facing death!"

"However, no one here can save you; you're doomed!"

The sound faded, the hand rose.

The black-clad cultivator's five fingers were like sharp claws, enveloping the gale, instantly tearing through the air, carrying a piercing whistling sound, and grabbing Gu Jiancheng in front of him in an instant!

"It is indeed a dead end, but it is you, not me!"

At this critical moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly activated the Burning Heaven Overlord Body. The Yuan Qi that had been dormant in his Qi Sea was like a furnace and a pump, and the terrifyingly hot Gang Qi traveled through his limbs and bones!

hum!

In an instant, Gu Jiancheng's white robes seemed to be enveloped in crimson energy, and his silver hair danced wildly in the wind like a burning flame!

Before the black-clad cultivator's claws could even get close, they were completely melted away by his domineering aura.

"Your Qi and spiritual essence are not useless!"

With just a scorching burst of energy, the black-clad cultivator was startled and forced to retreat. When he looked at Gu Jiancheng, whose body was engulfed in flames, he was even more horrified.

"It's too late to realize this now!"

Gu Jiancheng sneered, then suddenly stepped forward, wind patterns rising beneath his feet, and threw a punch.

The intense, boiling heat was like a bursting torrent, surging forth unrestrainedly.

Although Gu Jiancheng has not yet cultivated any martial arts skills, how terrifying is the Burning Heaven Overlord Body? Even an ordinary punch is enough to melt gold and shatter cauldrons!

boom!

With a single punch, a surge of internal energy erupted, making the punch a massive ten feet in size.

Wherever it passed, the void exploded with a sound like thunder and lightning.

"Your qi has materialized, you are actually a cultivator..."

The black-clad cultivator screamed in terror, but before he could finish speaking, he was engulfed by the fist's aura, instantly shattering and burning into dust and ashes, which dissipated into the darkness.

One punch kills a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!

"Hehe, that's pretty impressive!"

Gu Jiancheng, having withdrawn his aura, watched as the fiery energy in his palm gradually extinguished, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

This was his first attempt, and the results were surprisingly good.

The title of "Number One Physique in All Realms" is truly well-deserved!

"Now, it's time to go find a wife!"

Gu Jiancheng suppressed his excitement and followed the scent of Yunshuiyao.

Imperial Guard A: "What just happened? It seems like it's getting light!"

Imperial Guard B: "I must be seeing things! I actually saw the Sixth Prince suddenly shoot into the sky!"

Deep in the canyon.

Yun Shuiyao, who was only at the Qi Sea Realm, struck the black-clad cultivator with just a few palm strikes, causing him to vomit blood and suffer severe injuries.

Seeing Yun Shuiyao with her flowing purple hair, descending like a goddess from the netherworld, the black-clad cultivator looked as if he had seen a ghost!

This is clearly just a junior at the Qi Sea Realm, so why is his combat power so terrifying!?

"die."

But Yun Shuiyao's purple eyes were like frost, and she raised her fair hand, her turbulent energy condensing like a sharp blade in front of her fingertips.

Killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage is not difficult for Yun Shuiyao.

"Hehe, you stupid woman, you didn't even realize you'd fallen for my trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. By now, the Sixth Prince has already been chopped into mincemeat!"

But at that moment, the black-clad cultivator on the ground suddenly grinned maliciously.

"What did you say?"

Yun Shuiyao was startled, and a sudden sense of unease gripped her heart.

Indeed, if the assassins who come are not just Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, wouldn't Gu Jiancheng be in danger?

Although Yun Shuiyao was born from the Netherworld and had a heart of cold iron, she was still in turmoil when she thought about how Gu Jiancheng had risked his life to protect her.

"Humph!"

Just then, the black-clad cultivator raised his sleeves, and a pungent cloud of smoke suddenly rose up.

Yun Shuiyao tried to hold her breath, but it was too late. She tried to expel the poison by circulating her qi again, but unfortunately, the cold qi in her dantian backfired, causing her to collapse to the ground.

A thin layer of ice crystals precipitated from her jade-like skin, clashing with her internal energy, causing Yun Shuiyao to completely lose her fighting ability, and even her consciousness began to fade.

"Heh, so what if you're a genius? Once you're hit by my Ten Fragrant Soft Bone Powder, you'll still obediently surrender."

"Tsk tsk, what stunning beauty she possesses, why waste it on that useless prince?"

The black-clad monk got up from the ground, his turbid eyes suddenly filled with lust. He then stretched out his hands, about to grab Yunshuiyao's protruding peaks.

"Uh!"

But in that instant, the black-clad cultivator seemed to be imprisoned in place by an invisible force.

He tried to turn around to look, but the next moment, he suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared into the darkness.

Then, Li Biluo emerged from the darkness, and Gu Jiancheng landed in front of her.

“Master, the poison that the mistress has been afflicted with is not serious. I can easily neutralize it, so there is no need to worry.”

After Li Biluo finished speaking, she was about to step forward.

"Need not."

But Gu Jiancheng stopped her, saying, "Since she's alright, let her sleep for a while."

He immediately stepped forward and picked up the soft Yunshuiyao around the waist.

"Don't be afraid, my wife, your husband is here!"

In her hazy state, Yun Shuiyao saw Gu Jiancheng and felt a sense of relief before falling into a deep coma.

At least, her chastity was preserved!

"Go, go back."

After saying that, Gu Jiancheng walked back happily.

There was no better opportunity than to take advantage of Yunshuiyao's current weakness and vulnerability.

"My master's thoughts are indeed beyond my comprehension." Li Biluo thought for a moment, then disappeared into the darkness and followed.

When Gu Jiancheng and the Imperial Guards reunited, all the assassins had already been wiped out.

The Imperial Guards also suffered over five hundred casualties; the assassins from the Chasing Life Valley were indeed formidable.

But now that Li Biluo is secretly protecting them, even if the entire Chasing Life Valley were to come out in full force, it would be useless.

Afterwards, Gu Jiancheng carried Yun Shuiyao onto the spare carriage and continued towards the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu Jiancheng had originally thought he could greatly increase his strategy points, but he never expected that this thing would have a cooldown period!

You can only gain strategy points by hugging each other once every hour!

Inside the carriage, Gu Jiancheng looked at Yun Shuiyao in his arms and couldn't help but sigh.

"Never mind, although the system is terrible, it does feel really good to use."

Holding the soft jade in his arms, the gentle touch and fragrance of her body did indeed make Gu Jiancheng feel happy. However, he noticed that Yun Shuiyao's delicate body was trembling, and the ice crystals on her body had spread to her arms and calves!

Gu Jiancheng was startled; he had been so focused on his own comfort that he had almost ruined things.

Immediately, he used his Insightful Eyes to scan Yunshuiyao.

[Ding! System detection indicates that the Nine Netherworld Phoenix's life soul in Yunshuiyao is disturbed, and the Nine Netherworld Cold Qi is devouring its body!]

The chill seeps into your body!?

Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "System, what's the solution?"

[The host possesses the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body, capable of neutralizing the Nine Netherworld Cold Qi. Injecting Heaven-Burning Yuan Qi into Yun Shuiyao's body should alleviate the symptoms.]

"Oh, that's good!"

Gu Jiancheng let out a long breath, then quickly raised his hand and placed it on Su Jiuyou's chest, injecting his vital energy into her.

Sure enough, in just a short while, the ice crystals on Yun Shuiyao's body quickly dissipated, her pretty face regained its rosy hue, her brows relaxed, and her jade-like face bloomed like a fairy lotus.

Especially now, being in Gu Jiancheng's arms, such an impact is truly irresistible.

Gu Jiancheng's large hand tightened even more.
