Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 972 - 256: Heart Trembles, Faith is Shattering!_3

"How could this happen... How could this be... What seemed to be a sure success, how could it turn out this way? After planning so meticulously for so long, could it have failed?"

The person who cried out in despair was a sect disciple of the Blood Gu Sect, hidden in the shadows. He had become so distraught that he could no longer conceal his presence effectively.

His shout startled his comrades nearby, who hurriedly tried to silence him, but it was already too late.

Because such a cry, under these circumstances, would be heard by anyone unless they were deaf!

Clearly, neither Yun Jiuqing and her group nor the people from the Imperial City Division were deaf.

This cry snapped them immediately out of their shocked state.

"Over there!" The Second Rank Junior Commandant of the Imperial City Division immediately ordered a group of his subordinates to charge in that direction.

He, on the other hand, stayed with another group to guard the prison carts.

In fact, by now, there was no real need to continue guarding the prison carts.

The Blood Gu Sect had already exhausted all the tricks they had up their sleeves.

Oh no, there should be one last resort left.

That would be to beseech the descent of their Gu God.

However, they hadn’t resorted to this measure.

Either none of these sect disciples knew how to invoke such a method, or their Gu God was busy with other matters. After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was still troubled by the Blood Gu Sect. Perhaps... their Gu God was currently descending upon the Great Zhou Dynasty, battling the local immortals. This possibility was quite significant.

At this moment... the old man from the Blood Gu Sect inside the prison cart seemed stupefied. His entire demeanor was that of a lost soul, and he blankly stared at the pieces of Gu insects falling from the sky. His expression seemed as if his entire belief system had collapsed in an instant. His lips trembled, and he kept muttering, "Impossible, it’s impossible... This... this absolutely cannot be possible..."

But no matter how many times he uttered "impossible," it did nothing to change the reality of what had happened. Suddenly, as if he heard something unusual, he swiftly turned his head in another direction. And then he saw the man he least wanted to see, yet most hoped to see. Such a contradiction in thoughts flooded his mind.

Clearly appearing from that direction was Fan Wu! Fan Wu had returned to this spot, and his presence caught the attention of others, especially the Imperial City Division who were escorting the prison carts and some cultivators from the Shangwu Dynasty who had rushed over. The moment they saw Fan Wu, they recognized him instantly. After all, this man had lifted a massive Gu insect with sheer brute strength!

Furthermore, not only had he lifted the massive Gu insect, but he had also thrown it high into the sky, likely several hundred feet up. Then they saw flashes of sword lights across the sky, which must have been his doing. Could this mean that the one who shredded that massive Gu insect was none other than Qiulong Temple’s Fan Wu?

"Glug!" A cultivator of the Shangwu Dynasty swallowed his saliva uncontrollably, feeling nervous as Fan Wu appeared right before him, sweat bead forming on his forehead although he wasn’t the Gu insect. He hastily stepped back several paces, making way for Fan Wu, lest his presence hinder Fan Wu’s path.

In fact, he wanted to ask Fan Wu how he managed to deal with that giant Gu insect so swiftly, how he possessed such powerful cultivation skills, and how he achieved this. Was this really a realm a cultivator could reach? However, he didn’t dare ask these questions as they halted at his throat! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Obviously, the formidable way Fan Wu had killed the massive Gu insect had left a lingering intimidation. Even though this intimidation was not directed at these Shangwu Dynasty cultivators, they were still frightened. In such circumstances, who wouldn’t be scared? If someone wasn’t, they must be incredibly bold.

"That Gu insect has been dealt with, and all that’s left are some minor fish... easy to catch, and all of them together wouldn’t even make up five men," Fan Wu declared as he approached Yun Jiuqing and the others. "With the day still young, we can completely leave Ying Tian City before nightfall and head to the next county."

Fan Wu had stayed in Ying Tian City just to accumulate Free Attribute Points. Now, the biggest chunk of Free Attribute Points had been collected. The remaining riff-raff, even if completely eliminated, would not yield even 0.01 Free Attribute Points. Fan Wu was no longer inclined to target those hidden Blood Gu Sect disciples.
