I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 1028: One should treat the strong with courtesy

Chapter 1028: One should treat the strong with courtesy

"These guys, I don't think they're even human."

Gu Heng looked at the empty ground and an idea popped into his mind.

Since they are safe from attacks when they mingle with the Eternal Beasts, and their bodies disintegrate like the Eternal Beasts when they die... then aren't these guys just "Eternal Beasts" that look like humans?

This conclusion gave him a chilling sense of dread.

He didn't know much about the Eternal Beast, nor did he need to. It was a calamity that would exist forever, like the world itself, which would only disappear when it was destroyed.

Since that's the case, Gu Heng has no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

But if we say that the Eternal Beast transformed from a mindless calamity that only knew how to seek out living beings and slaughter them to death into a highly intelligent being that could walk the world in human form and secretly plot...

Are their threats different?

This blood lake was probably the work of these humanoid eternal beasts, and the purpose of all this is shrouded in mystery. It's a pity they were killed instantly, but even if they hadn't killed the three of them, they probably wouldn't have gotten any information out of them anyway, which would have saved them some trouble.

Now, Gu Heng could only sigh, "Truly, the myriad realms are all-encompassing and contain everything."

"Indeed, they couldn't be human."

Pu Yunyuan nodded, her expression somewhat strange.

She couldn't see what was under those black armors, but the way they disappeared said it all.

"and many more!"

Pu Yunyuan exclaimed in surprise and rushed back to check on Pu Ao, who had collapsed and was unable to get up.

In order to buy her time to escape, Seventh Grandfather stayed behind and fought the three black-armored men relentlessly. Even though they intended to use him to kill her, it must have been a fierce battle.

Pu Ao was knocked unconscious by Gu Heng's punch just now. That punch seemed simple and easy, but Pu Ao took it and immediately knelt down. No one knows how much force he used.

"Don't worry, your seventh grandfather will be fine. I deliberately didn't hit him hard just now."

Gu Heng was absolutely certain that he hadn't used any force just now.

To be honest, given the old man's condition—his face was pale and bloodless, and although he seemed to walk with great vigor, he was actually all bark and no bite. He was afraid that if he bumped into Pu Ao, he would break him to pieces.

And indeed, that was the case; one punch was all it took.

"Cough cough..."

Pu Ao also slowly woke up at this time.

"What happened just now?"

He opened his eyes and felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if every part of his limbs was burning! His injuries were definitely not to be underestimated.

Fortunately, even a body at the peak of the Nirvana Realm isn't that fragile, unless the opponent is intent on killing him.

"Seventh Grandfather!"

Pu Yunyuan quickly helped him up, her eyes misting over: "It's alright, those three guys have already been killed by Senior Gu."

"Let's skip the 'senior' title. I'm too young to accept that."

Gu Heng felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he disliked hearing others flatter him; he deserved it. But the title of "senior" was really unsuitable for him, at least not for him in his current state.

Even though his true self was an old monster who had lived for countless years, a fearsome enemy of the era, and his glorious days of dominating the heavens lasted for at least an era, and that great war against the whole world also lasted a very long time.

From what we can see in the database of scientific and technological civilizations, countless top experts of civilizations have been defeated and killed. Some smaller civilizations have even been wiped out. Those forces that are not large enough to be called "civilizations" have also died like ants, their numbers countless!

So, strictly speaking, he was a centipede, an old thing that was dead but not stiff.

He's an old guy whose gold coins were wiped out by a conspiracies of the gods.

But Gu Heng would never admit it!

How can we so easily give up on growing old in this lifetime?

“No, there is a distinction between the strong and the weak, and an order of rank and status. This is the ultimate truth. If I were to be so disrespectful to my savior, I would be disgracing the reputation of the Pu family.” Pu Yunyuan said earnestly.

"Well... never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Gu Henghai wanted to say something, but looking at the serious expression on Pu Yunyuan's face, he was speechless for a moment.

Perhaps it's because of their noble lineage that they are so well-mannered.

"Is everything alright now?" Pu Ao was in excruciating pain and dizzy, but at least his memory was intact. He could remember fighting one of the mysterious people, but the other party's strength was unfathomable. Even when he used all his Taoist techniques, he felt powerless against them.

Although he was not in mortal danger, Pu Ao knew very well that his opponent could have killed him instantly with one move, but instead spared his life, slowly cornering him with ulterior motives.

However, in order to buy Pu Yunyuan time to escape, the other party was willing to play with an ant, which was in line with Pu Ao's wishes.

But it didn't seem to drag on for long in the end; at least he was fully conscious the whole time he was being controlled!

but.

Ultimately, he did not shed the blood of the most important prodigy of the Pu family.

Just before he made his move, he felt dizzy, as if a mountain had crashed into his face, and then he collapsed.

With these thoughts in mind, Pu Ao suddenly looked at Gu Heng!

He knocked himself out with a single punch!

"Senior, I have been negligent in the past. I hope you will forgive me!"

Pu Ao disregarded his injuries and immediately stood up to bow.

If Pu Ao was still somewhat hesitant to be certain on the ship, there's no need to say more now. His previous guess was indeed correct; this person is truly an unimaginably powerful individual!

It's truly a miracle that Heaven didn't abandon Pu!

P.S.: I didn't intentionally stop updating before; it's just that there were no updates on the Tomato channel at all, and it took me two days of urging them to get it fixed.

Hopefully, this situation won't happen again.
