Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 483 - 135: Battle Before the Palace Gates, Spiritual Artifact Shatters

Seeing Guan Bao quiet down once more.

Yun Hu smiled slightly, took a step forward, and spoke to the surrounding martial artists.

"My brother and I act only to live up to our consciences. If any of you still wish to challenge, we will accept, but as for other matters, please forgive us for not being able to say more!"

"..."

As the words fell, a hush spread around.

Everybody glanced at each other, and for a while, indeed, no one stepped up to challenge.

At this moment.

A somewhat aged voice suddenly penetrated the crowd’s ears.

"Young one, you speak well, though it’s a bit of the big bullying the small, but this old man came for the Land Immortal. If you know what’s good for you, then step aside!"

As he spoke.

An old figure slowly emerged from the crowd.

And the newcomer was none other than Grandpa Qu, who was sent by Ye Liuyun!

Though one could not discern the old man’s exact power.

But such a tone made Yun Hu and Guan Bao frown involuntarily, sensing this wasn’t a harmless character.

After exchanging a glance.

Yun Hu still stepped forward, cupped his hands apologetically, and said to the old man.

"We are here under orders to guard this place. If you wish to see the Supreme Emperor, you must get past my brother and me. Seeing as senior has an extraordinary aura, may I know your esteemed name?"

Before coming, Grandpa Qu had already thought of how to perform.

So facing such a question, he dusted his sleeve with the air of a profound elder and said to the brothers.

"The old man is named Qu Zheng, rarely seen in the martial world, so few know my name!"

Grandpa Qu’s real name is Qu Zheng, having lived in seclusion for so long.

Perhaps even those of the past have no memory of the remnants surviving from Qingshui Pavilion.

"Qu Zheng?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this name, both Yun Hu and Guan Bao looked puzzled.

It was evident they hadn’t heard of him.

"Second Brother, let me go first!"

Guan Bao thought that against an unknown opponent, he could probe first.

Anyway, with his brother by his side, he didn’t have to worry about any mishaps.

"Okay!"

Hearing Guan Bao say this, Yun Hu nodded in agreement, without any intention to refuse.

"Please enlighten me!"

At this moment, Guan Bao showed some courtesy, at least not boasting arrogantly.

As the words fell.

Guan Bao leaped towards Qu Zheng’s position, and as he swung his fist, the bracer on his wrist reflected a gleam. Regardless, a low-grade spiritual artifact is still an artifact.

Previously, Guan Bao was able to easily defeat so many opponents, partly with the help of this spiritual artifact.

"Not bad!"

Seeing Guan Bao’s fierce stance, Qu Zheng nodded slightly.

At the Innate Perfection realm, Guan Bao’s strength was indeed quite commendable.

Looking at his robust vitality.

If Ye Liuyun hadn’t mentioned it earlier, Qu Zheng wouldn’t believe that Guan Bao practiced a cultivation technique that traded potential and aptitude for speed.

As he spoke.

Guan Bao’s figure had already reached Qu Zheng, and just as his fist was about to land squarely on Qu Zheng’s face.

It seemed as if Qu Zheng just then realized, raising his hand to block.

Seeing this.

Guan Bao’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdain.

He originally thought he was dealing with an expert, but turns out he wasn’t. What a pretentious show-off.

Just when Guan Bao believed that this punch would be enough to settle the opponent.

"Buzz!"

The Grandmaster Realm’s inner strength exploded around Qu Zheng.

The tremendous aura.

Left Guan Bao with no chance to react before being blasted away.

By the time he realized, his body had already slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Impossible! You’re a Grandmaster!"

Though Guan Bao took a heavy fall, he quickly stood up due to his physique, yet his gaze toward Qu Zheng had become incredulous.

This old man turned out to be a Grandmaster.

Even Yun Hu, who was watching from the side, became serious and sharp at this moment.

"A Grandmaster!"

"Hiss!"

"This old man is actually a Grandmaster!"

"This will be interesting!"

"After so many days, finally, a Grandmaster has appeared!"

"..."

When Qu Zheng released his Grandmaster Realm aura.

The surrounding spectators instantly became lively.

Though surprised at the appearance of an unknown Grandmaster, everyone was eager to witness since seeing a Grandmaster Realm martial artist is not so common.

"The old man has just broken through to Grandmaster, nothing much!"

In the face of the crowd’s murmurs.

Qu Zheng’s expression shifted naturally as he stroked his beard, looking in Guan Bao’s direction and saying.

"In the realm of Innate Perfection, your strength is quite impressive, but it’s still insufficient. Step aside. I have no wish to kill, only to see the legendary Land Immortal Realm before my death!"

As he finished speaking.

Qu Zheng slightly raised his head to look at the sky.

It seemed like he knew his days were numbered and wished, before his end, to see the legend firsthand.

Many martial artists have such a mindset.

After all, their lifespan is nearing its end, and compared to dying quietly in some forgotten place, to perish at the hands of a strong individual might be considered fortunate.

"Granny Liu, is Grandpa Qu really such a good actor?"
