On Par with Masters

"Gu Qingfeng, how do you explain this?" Li Qianren suddenly demanded.

Explain? If you're so good at making assumptions, why don't you explain it for me?

Ah!

Gu Qingfeng sighed internally. He truly didn't know how to explain without revealing the existence of the system.

But not explaining wasn't an option either. This was the crucial moment, a life-or-death crisis where the lives of everyone present hung on his next explanation.

Why was this the case?

Because if his explanation wasn't convincing, a fight would definitely break out. And if that happened, Gu Qingfeng, who wasn't particularly skilled in speed, would find it difficult to escape. So what then?

He'd have to kill them all.

So these bigshots' survival really depended on his next explanation.

Don't doubt it - Gu Qingfeng had the capability. Though they outnumbered him, with his Vajra-like invincible body, no one below the Grandmaster realm could harm him. If it came to fighting, he only needed to defeat Li Qianren.

As for how to defeat Li Qianren?

Looking at his small frame, it seemed unlikely he could withstand a Single-Character Sun-Scorching Sword strike. Even if he could, well, just use it multiple times - after all, it only consumed White Bone Demon Fire.

The only tricky part was a Grandmaster's speed. Speed was currently Gu Qingfeng's biggest weakness, and the Single-Character Sun-Scorching Sword might not be able to hit Li Qianren.

But that was before. Since being attacked by the Blood Demon's remnant soul, Gu Qingfeng's soul had greatly strengthened, comparable to a Grandmaster!

With such soul strength to employ the Eye Technique: Phantom Vision, even if he couldn't trap Li Qianren in an illusion, he could at least make him hesitate momentarily, enough time to strike him down with the Single-Character Sun-Scorching Sword.

This plan was perfect!

Gu Qingfeng calculated secretly. The bigshots facing him had no idea that this Yellow-rank Demon Eliminator had already figured out how to send them to the afterlife.

Wait! Hold on!

Gu Qingfeng suddenly realized something - soul strength... comparable to a Grandmaster!?

Damn! Wasn't this the most reasonable explanation?

Suddenly, breaking the tense silence, Gu Qingfeng spoke slowly: "Lord Li, I don't know what a mirror invasion is, but before dying, the Mirror Demon did launch a strange attack against me. It possessed my copy and transformed into a beam of light that entered my body."

At these words, the atmosphere grew even heavier. Some Earth-rank Demon Eliminators began gathering power, as if ready to strike Gu Qingfeng dead at any moment.

Completely ignoring these threats, Gu Qingfeng continued calmly: "However, once it entered my body, it died."

"Died? Kid, that was one of the Seven Demon Generals - you expect us to believe it just died like that?"

"The Mirror Demon tried to kill my soul and take over my body. I was forced to counterattack, and accidentally killed it with my soul power."

This statement was met with an eerie silence.

After a moment, an Earth-rank Demon Eliminator burst into laughter: "Kid, do you even know what you're saying? You killed the Mirror Demon with soul power? Do you take us for fools? Though the Mirror Demon relied on copying abilities to fight, it was still an Innate Realm greater demon. Its soul strength could only be resisted by a Grandmaster. Are you trying to tell us that you, a mere Qi Gathering Fourth Level warrior, have soul strength comparable to a Grandmaster?"

Everyone sneered, waiting for Gu Qingfeng's response.

To their surprise, Gu Qingfeng only replied with one word: "Yep!"

The Earth-rank Demon Eliminator grew angry and said to Li Qianren: "Lord Li, this kid is talking nonsense. In my opinion, we should arrest him and interrogate him properly."

Li Qianren frowned as he looked at Gu Qingfeng, noticing that his face showed no trace of fear, which secretly amazed him.

Could this kid be telling the truth?

"Truth or lies, a test will tell," Li Qianren said coldly.

As his words fell, an extremely terrifying soul wave erupted from his body! Like a tempest, it swept toward Gu Qingfeng!

This was the soul pressure of a Grandmaster! The oppressive feeling of an apex predator!

Everyone present changed expression.

The weakest among them, Wang Fatty and Xu Daizi, collapsed to the ground, their faces pale.

This was only because Li Qianren wasn't targeting others - otherwise, the pressure they felt would have been even greater.

One can imagine the pressure Gu Qingfeng was under at the center of this storm.

Faced with this sweeping soul force, Gu Qingfeng neither dodged nor evaded, his expression didn't even change slightly.

The next moment, a soul force entirely equal to Li Qianren's erupted from Gu Qingfeng's body!

The two soul forces instantly collided!

Boom!

An invisible soul wave immediately filled the entire hall. Everyone felt a heaviness descend upon them - the manifestation of soul suppression.

The terrifying suppressive force from their clash actually caused the hall's stone floor to crack with a series of sounds!

This was incorporeal soul power, yet it could affect physical matter - this showed that their soul power had become strong enough to influence reality!

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically as they stared in shock at the calm-faced Gu Qingfeng, their eyes filled with disbelief.

An absurd thought rose from their hearts.

This kid... hadn't been lying!

His soul strength was actually...

Comparable to a Grandmaster!!

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
