Martial Alliance City.

With the spatial rift opened by Gu Nan, Leopard Gold and Nie Shuangshuang also reached the city.

Nie Shuangshuang glanced at Gu Nan with some confusion and asked, "You've been to this world before?"

"Mm, I've been here before." Gu Nan said casually, "This place is called Martial Alliance City. There’s a Silver-Robed Ancestor inside."

His two companions didn’t doubt him. After all, there were countless planes, so it wasn’t strange to have been here before, especially since this world was captured by Gu Nan.

"This is a world of martial arts. The Silver-Robed Ancestor should be someone walking the body refinement path."

When considering how the Silver-Robed Ancestor might be based on himself, Gu Nan ultimately decided to remind his two companions after some thought.

"No matter how strong he is, he’s nothing more than an expert from such a small plane. We can simply be careful," Leopard Gold responded with a cheerful smile. Although he said they should be careful, he didn’t actually take the enemy seriously at all.

Nie Shuangshuang was noncommittal, but judging from her unhesitating movements, she most likely didn’t take Gu Nan’s warning to heart either.

This was normal. They were all grand Star Ruler characters. Why would they care about someone from an obscure small plane?

In all likelihood, not even Gu Nan would’ve taken this fight very seriously either had he not known the Silver-Robed Ancestor’s origin. So they were doomed to pay the price for underestimating their opponent.

The three of them had just appeared in front of Martial Alliance City when a silver figure suddenly flickered past and appeared in front of Leopard Gold, who was in the lead.

A sneer appeared on Leopard Gold’s face. Gu Nan, on the other hand, sighed in relief—judging from the speed alone, this Silver-Robed Ancestor wasn’t an exact copy of Gu Nan and was far inferior to his saint clone.

If it was his own saint clone, he was afraid Leopard Gold wouldn’t even have a chance to react.historical

But similarly, the three of them also weren’t at the peak of Tier 4. Gu Nan estimated that his current power was about the same as the other side’s.

A trace of helplessness flashed through Gu Nan’s eyes. With his experience, he more or less understood the hardest part about this dungeon.

On the other side, Leopard Gold and the Silver-Robed Ancestor had already exchanged blows, while Nie Shuangshuang didn’t rush to attack and carefully observed the opponent instead.

Leopard Gold had no intention of holding back and slashed out with his claws as soon as the enemy appeared.

He made a grab for the Silver-Robed Ancestor’s head with his right hand, which rapidly turned into gold mid-attack. He eventually went so far as to transform his entire hand into a leopard claw made of gold.

Cultivators’ laws were completely constructed after reaching Star Ruler Realm, so unlike Void Cutters, fights between Star Rulers wouldn’t accidentally destroy their surroundings.

They had enough control to apply their laws purely to killing their opponent and nothing else.

Leopard Gold’s golden claws looked ordinary, but in fact, they carried the two laws of "sharpness" and "indestructibility," which was useful for both offense and defense and could be considered one of his trump cards.

To use this attack as soon as he started fighting—it was true that he didn’t seem to be taking this lightly.

But the Silver-Robed Ancestor didn’t dodge. Instead, he seemed determined to land his punch, even if he had to tank Leopard Gold’s blow with his head.

Leopard Gold was very unused to this kind of fighting style that exchanged injury for injury. But since it came to this, he also had no intention of backing down. He just shifted his position slightly so that the incoming punch wouldn’t hit his vitals, but the strength behind his claws increased slightly!

Since he was in the Inner World, he didn’t fear death. Even if he injured the enemy at the cost of dying himself, there were still two fresh troops on his side to continue the fight.

The two attacks collided almost simultaneously. Leopard Gold’s expression couldn’t help changing slightly when he felt the terrifying strength traveling up from his shoulder. Fortunately, the enemy's wounds were more serious than his.

After all, Leopard Gold was a Star Ruler. Even if he was limited to just Void Cutter Realm right now, his laws were still infinitely close to being complete.

The golden claws swiped down, slicing open over half of the Silver-Robed Ancestor’s head, all the way until they could even see the fractured nasal bones.

However, just as Leopard Gold revealed a faint smile, he felt a pain from his abdomen. That Silver-Robed Ancestor seemed completely unaffected by those heavy injuries and actually landed a kick to his stomach just now!

Leopard Gold’s body involuntarily flew out, while the Silver-Robed Ancestor actually followed him like a shadow, swinging another fist down on Leopard Gold’s head.

Finally, Nie Shuangshuang couldn’t continue watching from the sidelines anymore. Her left hand gently drew a circle, and a ray of light appeared between the Silver-Robed Ancestor and Leopard Gold, which then exploded and blasted the two apart.

Simultaneously, Gu Nan's figure appeared behind the Silver-Robed Ancestor and swung his fist down in almost exactly the same attack as the opponent’s earlier punch. His target was precisely the back of the Silver-Robed Ancestor's head.

But the Silver-Robed Ancestor reacted too quickly, immediately swinging a punch behind him. However, Gu Nan seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago. His fist suddenly changed paths and swung down towards the side instead.

Thus, the Silver-Robed Ancestor also changed the path of his attack. The two of them changed their attack paths three consecutive times, and finally, Gu Nan stopped his change at the very last second and turned it into a straight punch.

This punch finally became inescapable, hitting the Silver-Robed Ancestor right in the face.

Just how powerful was a punch at Gu Nan’s full power? The Silver-Robed Ancestor’s head was already sliced in half; this time, it was directly blasted apart, his head suddenly exploding.

Leopard Gold and Nie Shuangshuang were slightly stunned. They didn't expect victory to come so easily, but Gu Nan shouted again.

"Don't just stand still! Attack him!"

Only then did the two seem to wake up from a dream and realize the enemy was still alive, but they were already too late. The Silver-Robed Ancestor dodged, and in the blink of an eye, he was already on Martial Alliance City’s walls. Then he made a jaw-dropping move.

He actually tore open a spatial rift and ran right into it!

"What's going on here? A being created by laws is actually capable of running away?!" Seeing the Silver-Robed Ancestor turn tail and run, Leopard Gold almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was also considered an experienced Star Ruler and had completed many missions in the Inner World, but he’d never seen such an enemy before.

They hadn’t even fought for two minutes, yet the other party had already fled without another word, and he even escaped in such a way that made it impossible for them to give chase. Even if the other party was still in this plane, they didn’t even know which direction he went, so naturally there was no way to find him.

"Let's start over." Gu Nan shook his head and explained, "The difficulty of this boss lies in the unstable aggro. He will escape as soon as we display overwhelming power, so he must be killed in one blow."

Gu Nan could already tell that not only did the Silver-Robed Ancestor created by this plane inherit his own attributes, he also inherited Gu Nan’s combat awareness and fighting style.

Combat awareness was the straightforward fighting style players had, while fighting style—to put it bluntly—was six words: “If you can't beat them, run.”

Hearing Gu Nan's words, Leopard Gold and Nie Shuangshuang both nodded.

Although they didn’t quite understand what a "boss" was, they understood Gu Nan’s basic meaning—this enemy was very cunning.

They also didn’t expect to clear the mission on the first try, but fortunately the first try didn’t take long, so they simply had to redo it.

However, this Silver-Robed Ancestor was harder to kill than expected. The three tried over ten times, but time and again, the enemy managed to slip away. They couldn’t even force the Silver-Robed Ancestor to use his power of law.

Later, the three of them gradually started to get familiar with each other’s methods and started coordinating their attacks, which flustered the Silver-Robed Ancestor and inflicted increasingly heavier wounds on him, but they still didn’t succeed in killing him.

Even Gu Nan realized for the first time that he was actually this hard to kill when all his abilities were taken into account.

Without overwhelming power far beyond the enemy’s level to directly crush him, they could only make attempt after attempt to see if they could kill the Silver-Robed Ancestor by a stroke of luck on one of these tries.
