Above all spirits

Chapter 218 A Reluctant Settlement

Fortunately, Gu Yun's sword strike was merely a show of force.

It didn't actually strike them.

As for blocking?

Block it with your head!

That can't stop a ball!

The once elastic space has not yet fully recovered, and the field of vision is still filled with patches of dark cracks that are constantly shrinking.

At this moment, Mingtian God completely changed his opinion of Gu Yun. Although he knew that the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will had an amplification ability, that was all. It was really unexpected that the other party could raise the power of stars to a level that faintly surpassed the power of soul matter.

The power of rules reflected behind this imperial will is truly extraordinary.

Another point is how the opponent managed to infuse the power of the stars into the sword. Such a subtle operation proves that the opponent definitely has a way to indirectly control the power of the stars, which is also not simple.

As for direct control, the God of the Netherworld had not considered it; even among the races in the Upper Realm, only a handful could achieve it.

Bing Buyu also remained silent for quite some time, observing Gu Yun's condition from time to time. Whenever Gu Yun showed the slightest weakness, he would take action immediately.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will - Formless, Gu Yun remained expressionless, as if his sword strike just now was merely a casual one. Bing Buyu knew this was impossible, but he dared not gamble.

Finally, he tentatively opened his mouth.

"It was indeed an unparalleled sword strike. It should be the amplification effect of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will - Limitless on the power of the stars. However, the power of the stars is not a power that humans can directly control. Can you use it a second time? Or will you have enough time to infuse the power of the stars into your sword again?"

"And this kind of increase probably requires a lot of power, right?"

Gu Yun remained casual and said.

"You can try."

"That's all I have to say. The Heavenly Demon Emperor's will is not limited to this one ability, and I also held back a lot of power in this sword strike."

"Soldiers don't talk. If we hadn't wasted words and had started fighting directly, could you have handled it?"

"I have been kind to Mr. Han, which is why I have repeatedly backed down, but my patience is limited."

The ruthlessness in his eyes increased greatly.

Bing Buyu was truly unsure and looked at Mingtian Shen. Mingtian Shen shook his head, his meaning clear: this battle had exceeded his expectations, and he would not intervene. This avatar was very important to him; just that one sword strike had put him at risk of death.

Bing Buyu sighed and sheathed his silver longsword.

It seems the revelation has come true, and it is undoubtedly the worst possible outcome.

I just never expected it to end this way.

But there is no way.

The newly born demon before me was not at all like a newborn being.

Its strength is even more bizarre and formidable than any previous generation of Heavenly Demon.

Perhaps ending it this way is not a bad ending, at least this time no one from the Temple of War sacrificed themselves.

Let's leave the problem to the Covenant people to worry about.

If they insist on fighting, many people from the Temple of War will die.

And the outcome may not necessarily change.

"As long as you don't cause any unnecessary trouble, the Temple of War can agree not to interfere anymore, but the Temple of War is just the Temple of War."

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't sure he could win a fight now. This sword strike, even if it only made a small opening, had exhausted almost 90% of his strength. It was terrifying.

Of course, it is precisely this terrifying deterrent that makes the Temple of War so apprehensive.

"Of course, as I said before, I will deal with the demons. If there are any troublemakers, I will take care of them without your help. But I will not offend others unless they offend me. If the Star Alliance cannot tolerate the demons, then I will still raise my sword against them."

"By the way, Lord Bing, do you have time later? Why don't you go see your teacher? He must have been injured in the fight with a top expert who controls the Emperor's Will of Life and Death."

Sensing the renewed riot brewing from Bing Buyu's silent demeanor, Gu Yun offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of this person for you."

"I was also planning to go and express my gratitude. Why don't we go together? A friend of mine is a student at Wentian Academy."

Bing Buyu immediately understood what Gu Yun had said earlier.

A strange feeling welled up in my heart: the Lord of the War God Temple and the Heavenly Demon went to visit their teacher?

If newspapers existed, this would be the biggest headline.

But he still made sure to thank Gu Yun.

This is what he should have done as a student.

At the same time, Gu Yun called out to Zero in the distance.

He could feel the undiminished killing intent.

He smiled and said to the soldier without speaking.

Can I borrow someone from you?

"I know that you are only temporarily compromising with me because of my strength, but I really hope that the demon race and the human race can stop fighting. After all, the Heavenly Demon will not disappear. The Lord of the War Hall knows this better than anyone else. If there is another peaceful way to resolve this situation, why must we shed blood?"

"I also like to stop war with war, but this world is too big. There must be some beings that you have to look up to and that you can't beat even if you exhaust all your strength. Do you have to fight at that time?"

Bing Buyu looked at Gu Yun in surprise, finding it hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of a demon, and asked curiously.

"You haven't been affected by your own inner demons?"

"Initially, the Temple of War was only concerned with maintaining order and did not actually have much hatred for the Heavenly Demons. The demons, especially the Heavenly Demons and their followers, who merged with their inner demons and pursued power, lacked rationality and personality. They were like a star that was about to explode, especially the Heavenly Demons."

"Later, because too many comrades died during the war, hatred was mixed in and intensified, eventually leading to complete confrontation."

Gu Yun nodded.

“I understand, I get all of this, but this will never end, and there’s no way to solve it.”

"Does it have to be washed with blood every time?"

"It's worth believing once. My inner demons are rather unique and won't affect my true self."

“I will handle everything. I’ve heard that there are many rotten roots in the demon race, and many of them even have conflicts of interest with certain forces.”

"Without a doubt, the Star Alliance will come to attack me for their own benefit, and I will show no mercy to them."

"But you are different. You didn't have any self-interest involved, which I admire and respect. That's why I didn't kill them back then. Let's take a break this time."

Following Gu Yun's gaze, Bing Buyu watched the War God Temple members slowly approaching and suddenly remembered what Gu Yun had just said.

"You said you wanted to borrow someone from me? Zero?"

"Are you sure? What are you planning to do? It might be a duty for others, but it's different for Zero. It's unrealistic to expect him to accept the demon race."

Gu Yun smiled faintly.

"There's no need to make him accept it; the more he hates you, the better, so he won't be influenced by any interests."

Bing Buyu instantly understood the meaning behind Gu Yun's words. This time, he truly faced the Heavenly Demon.

Do not!

My opinion of Gu Yun has changed a little, and I have a slight hope for him now.

after all.

He couldn't rule out the possibility that everything Gu Yun was doing was an act.

"You want to use him to reorganize the entire demon race and use the influence of the Temple of War to prove your determination to the human race?"

Gu Yun said frankly.

"The first half is true, but the second half is not. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I will only do what I think I can do. Other people's opinions are never within my consideration."

"After all, in the end, this world still comes down to who has the bigger fist, doesn't it?"
