Chapter 286 Gaining Another Grandmaster
"We can't retreat anymore! Behind us is the place where our ancestors cultivated themselves!"

The hearts of a group of Hong family members trembled. They looked back at the closed inner hall with only bitterness and despair on their faces.

No one could have imagined that today's changes would bring the Hong family to a complete end.

Unexpectedly, they did not die at the hands of those cultists, but fell to the conspiracy of the human race in the city.

As for Hong Shen, who is like a sea-fixing needle, he has returned to this inner temple since he defeated the cultists. The situation is not optimistic either.

Even life and death are unknown!

If Hong Shen hadn't been seriously injured and was observed by many people with ulterior motives while fighting the cultists, the current situation would not be so bad.

In the final analysis, it was the old master Hong Shen who was on the verge of death and could no longer control those ambitious guys.

"Master Hong, I think you should be more honest and hand over the Hong family inheritance and the Hong ancestors. Maybe this can save the rest of your Hong family and prevent them from being completely cut off."

A middle-aged man with a strong build and considerable dignity walked in front of the crowd and spoke to the Hong family who were retreating steadily.

"You bastard!!" A young member of the Hong family stared angrily, and the blood and injuries all over his body could not hide the anger in his heart.

"Hmph, Hong San, you are usually so arrogant, but now you are about to become a lost dog. Let me see why you are so arrogant!"

"The Hong family is arbitrary and has been suppressing us in the city. Have you ever thought about what will happen today!"

"It's better to go and ask your ancestors to come out."

The words spoken by the crusaders ranged from mocking to taunting to probing.

Although it is a fact that everyone has seen that the ancestor of the Hong family is seriously injured, this legendary figure is not dead yet.

Out of concerns, many people wanted to confirm the current status of the ancestor of the Hong family first, whether he was dead or alive before making any plans.

boom!
At this moment, the door to the inner hall was suddenly opened.

Hong Shen, who was missing an arm and a leg, sat on a main seat, his head drooped, and his cloudy eyes glanced at the group of people outside the hall.

The aura on his body was decaying, but the aura of a master was still there. Under his gaze, the group of rebels who invaded the Hong Mansion outside the palace felt their breath stagnation.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

They were like a pack of hyenas, surrounding an old and wounded lion, afraid to make any move.

"Don't panic, he is too injured to move!"

"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Everyone seemed to be emboldening and encouraging each other, but no one dared to move first.

The reputation of a powerful master is so powerful that it takes great courage to do the following.

"Chen Rengui, you go."

"Brother Liu was joking"

"He's missing his arms and legs, what are you afraid of!"

"Isn't there still an arm and a leg? What if he still has strength?"

"waste!"

"."

The group of people saw Hong San's embarrassed look, which made Hong San burst into laughter.

He is the current head of the Hong family and the overlord of the Whale City.

His laughter burst the wounds on his body, but he didn't care and instead laughed even louder.

His wild laughter also made many people who were surrounding and suppressing the Hong family look gloomy, and they were a little helpless.

"I think, let's just shoot an arrow to test it!" Seeing that no one was the first to attack, one person suddenly said.

His proposal was approved immediately.

"Fire arrows!"

The surrounding team raised their bows and arrows, lit flames and shot towards the remaining Hong family members and Hong Shen in the inner hall.

"Get behind me."

Hong Shen's voice came out at this time, and when the Hong family disciples heard the voice of their ancestor, they immediately took orders and retreated into the inner hall.

The rockets that were fired were blocked by the Grandmaster's energy at a distance of two or three meters from Hong Shen, and fell one after another.

Just releasing the master's energy also made Hong Shen's aura weaker and more unstable. His whole body seemed to be on the verge of death, and his eyes were dim.

Although "ancestor" Hong San is not a strong master, he still has the ability to transform energy. How can he not see that his ancestor is at the end of his strength?

The current situation of the Hong family is extremely despairing.

The Hong family's incense is probably going to end with him!
However, at this moment, Hong Shen's face suddenly turned red, and light appeared in his cloudy eyes.

Just like a candle that is about to burn out, releasing its last afterglow.

He grabbed the purple-grade long knife that was stuck upside down next to the seat, and suddenly slashed it forward.

This sword used his last strength to show the world the supreme majesty of a strong master.

"Not good!" The expressions of everyone outside the hall changed drastically, and panic could not be suppressed.

The next moment, the door of the inner hall and the entire wall were shattered by the sword.

The sword was as powerful as a dragon and exploded outside the entire hall.

Under the powerful sweep of the sword, almost half of the besiegers were killed on the spot.

Half of the entire Hong Mansion was also destroyed.

After finishing the cut, Hong Shen closed his eyes. The long knife dropped and pierced the ground beneath his feet, struggling to support his upper body.

"If this knife can't scare this group of people, just run away, one by one if you can." Hong Shen sighed as blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.

He was completely exhausted. After this stab, he knew very clearly that his injuries were beyond repair and he could only wait for death.

Before he died, all he could do was leave a glimmer of hope for his descendants.

Therefore, he was still holding on for a breath.

The survivors of the encirclement and suppression all had expressions of shock on their faces. They looked at Hong Shen in the hall and were trembling in their hearts.

They all saw that Hong Shen was dying and was just holding on, but they were not sure how many more cuts Hong Shen could make before dying.

If there was another attack like the one just now, they could not guarantee that they would survive.

This is the terrifying thing about strong masters. Even if they are seriously injured and dying, they can't hold their heads up.

Hong Shen didn't close his eyes, and they didn't dare to take any further measures.

For a while, they didn't even dare to approach the inner palace anymore, and they only dared to wander outside the ruins of the mansion and watch.

Suddenly, Hong Shen coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body became much limp, unable to control himself.

"Hahaha! He can't do it anymore, he can't do it anymore!"

"Archery, keep on archery!"

The remaining besiegers were overjoyed and issued orders.

Hong Shen sighed secretly. On his deathbed, he seemed to have accepted his fate.

The head of the family, Hong San, stepped in front of his ancestor, ready to block all the arrows.

Even if his ancestor was going to die, he would never die in such a humiliating way at the hands of the rebels.

Just when it seemed that the overall situation was settled, a golden wall of flames suddenly appeared in front of the temple.

Before the dense arrows could get close to this thin wall of flames, they were burned by the ultra-high temperature heat wave surging in the air. "What's this?!"

Everyone was shocked and felt that the air in this area was extremely hot.

They didn't know what the golden wall of flames that appeared out of thin air was, but soon a figure fell from the sky and landed beside the wall of flames, calm and composed.

Obviously, this wall of golden flames is this person's masterpiece.

"What, what's the situation?"

"Grandmaster, the strong master."

The group of suppressors swallowed their saliva, their minds were a little blank, and they looked at the young man behind the wall of flames.

This person is naturally Xu Guan.

Xu Guan's sudden visit surprised everyone.

Including Hong Shen.

"You" Hong Shen felt a little more energetic when he saw Xu Guan.

"Little friend, I can't repay you for the life-saving grace I gave you. If I have anything you like, just take it. If you can protect the descendants of my Hong family, that would be great."

Hong Shen's voice was weak, but Xu Guan could still hear it clearly outside the palace.

Ignoring those who surrounded and suppressed him, he walked up to Hong Shen.

A quick scan of his mental perception made it clear that Hong Shen's situation was basically beyond repair.

At least ordinary treatment methods would be difficult to save this powerful master.

The surrounding Hong family disciples felt sad when they saw Hong Shen explaining his funeral affairs. At the same time, they were also looking at Xu Guan who had suddenly arrived.

"Is he really a master at such a young age?"

If Xu Guan hadn't revealed his skills from the sky just now, they would never have connected Xu Guan with the powerful master.

Hong Shen's attitude towards Xu Guan now also explains a lot of problems.

In the current situation, no one but a strong master can save them.

"Sir, if you can find a way to save the life of my ancestor, my Hong family is willing to pay any price!" the head of the family, Hong San, said.

At this time, he could only treat Xu Gu'an as a doctor, and call Xu Gu'an "sir" directly.

If Hong Jin can survive, then the Hong family still has hope to return to its former glory. But once Hong Jin is gone, the Hong family's title as a master family will also be removed.

Even if any of the Hong family's children can survive this catastrophe, it is inevitable that the Hong family will decline into decline and depression.

In short, Hong Shen's significance to the Hong family is irreplaceable by anyone.

"There is indeed a way that can not only heal your injuries effortlessly, but also make you stronger." Xu Guan thought for a moment and then said.

"My friend, you are joking. I know my situation very well. There is no need to comfort me," Hong Shen said.

Obviously he didn't quite believe what Xu Gu An said, and he just felt that such a good thing could not happen in the world.

Hong San on the side was not too excited, and was obviously a little unconvinced.

"I don't need to find happiness in a dying person. This is a secret skill of mine that can indeed do what I say.

Of course, this comes at a price, it just depends on whether you are willing to accept it. "Xu Gu'an said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Hong Shen was stunned for a moment, but he believed it again, and then said: "I am about to die, and there is no price I can't bear. Please help me, little friend."

"Let's listen." Xu Gu'an raised his eyebrows and explained the price of planting the divine curse into his body in advance, and then let Hong Shen make his own choice.

His golden divine curse has the super self-healing ability of the immortal body. Even if Hong Shen is hanging with his last breath, Xu Guan is confident that his divine curse can work as long as his divine curse seal is implanted. Save the old master.

It can even regenerate his broken arms and legs, making him even more powerful than he was at his peak!

Of course, once his divine curse seal is planted, it means that he will remain loyal to Xu Guan and be controlled by Xu Guan for the rest of his life, losing his freedom in a sense.

This is also the price of the divine curse seal.

For many people, losing their freedom and loyalty to others is a more difficult and painful thing to face than death.

Among the people Liang Hong and others captured to serve as servants of the gods, there were also some who would rather die than obey.

Xu Guan knew this.

He had a good impression of Hong Shen, the old master, so he let him make his own choice.

If Hong Shen couldn't accept the price of living and rejected Xu Guan, he wouldn't have forced it.

Sure enough, after hearing the price, Hong Shen's expression immediately became a bit complicated, and even his breathing became short, as if he might be unable to breathe at any time and die.

After a few breaths, Hong Shen seemed to have figured it out and said with a wry smile.

"If I wanted to be loyal to others, I might rather die than live like this, but my friend is different. You and I have the gift of saving lives, and I don't object to it.

If you don’t mind me, please accept my usefulness. "

When Xu Guan saw that Hong Shen had made a decision, he stopped talking nonsense and took Hong Shen to a well-maintained side room in the main hall where no one would disturb him.

Outside the hall, Xu Guan's control was lost, and the wall of flames had long since dissipated.

But everyone had different expressions at the moment, looking at the Hong family who retreated, and they were also a little undecided.

They didn't know Xu Guan's origins, but they just felt that he was not a good person and that he was probably a powerful master. They did not dare to offend him too much.

But even if they were allowed to leave empty-handed, they would be unwilling to do so.

"Damn it, the Hong family is so lucky, they can even attract a savior!"

"How can there be such a young master? I think that boy is just making up his mind and trying to suppress us!"

"possible!"

"Then why don't we continue to order people to do it and find out the details of each other?"

"feasible!"

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the remaining besiegers outside the palace quickly reached a majority consensus. Several powerful people asked their men to move towards the half-ruined hall, and the encirclement was closed, intending to smash the walls and bricks.

However, at this time, accompanied by an explosion, the entire palace was torn apart and completely collapsed.

A figure rushed out, carrying an unparalleled sword energy chain, sweeping across all directions in an instant.

The remaining group of encirclers and suppressors suddenly suffered numerous casualties, and the remaining people's faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

The figure that rushed out stood in mid-air, holding a knife in one hand. It was the overbearing master Hong Shen!
Although Hong Shen's hands and feet were still broken at this moment, his injuries had recovered a lot, especially the fatal internal injuries caused by the Moon Demon. Most of them had healed in a short time.

On his chest, there is a mark of a flame flower, with a thin golden flame burning, giving him new life!
"escape!"

The hearts of those who were encircling and suppressing them were already freezing.

They never imagined that Hong Shen could come back from the dead and recover from his injuries so quickly. This was completely beyond their knowledge.

The powerful pressure of the Grand Master came down, and many people with low cultivation levels fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, unable to move.

Only a few innately strong people are still able to act, but at this time they only dare to run away and don't dare to have any more ideas.

"Humph!"

Hong Shen didn't have the slightest thought of leniency towards this group of people.

The Hong family is in this situation today, but it is all caused by these people.

With the sword raised and dropped, no matter what the identity of the other party was in the past, today there is only one way to resolve the hatred!
