Red quietly stared at Gu Nan without responding.
She was already a Star Ruler ten thousand years ago. In all likelihood, no second person had ever dared to speak to her this way in these ten thousand years.
But the logic was very simple. You have to give money when you take something, unless she could also kill the seller like Gu Nan did.
Even Wu Gui and Jin Wuyin could recognize the Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon. Red was no naturally no exception.
She even knew better than anyone that this Heavenly Demon was by no means Gu Nan's true body. At most, it was some kind of ability. Back then, she saw Gu Nan transform into a deity with her own eyes.
Of course Gu Nan—who could also transform into a deity—couldn't possibly be the reincarnation of some Heavenly Demon.
It was precisely this understanding that made Gu Nan's current attitude so perplexing to Red—anyone who possessed even a little foresight should understand that using Qian Han to make friends with Red was the choice with the greatest profit.
Furthermore, she might even agree if he offered to exchange an insignificant Qian Han for some interests in Nirvana Heaven and Star Realm.
'Why on earth is he so stubborn about Qian Han?'
Gu Nan stared Red in the eye without flinching. Even though he knew that he who had yet to complete the First Round still couldn't confront Red head-on for the time being…
But it was possible for players to give back what they already gobbled up!
"Then try it." Of course Red didn't say "What do you want?" or anything like that. Rather, she simply chose to attack.
Someone with her status never compromised, not even when facing Zuo Zuo, so how could she give in to Gu Nan?
Indescribable law fluctuations directly emerged near Gu Nan, frantically surging towards him.
What greeted Gu Nan's eyes was a red that almost drowned out the entire world. It was an overwhelming red that hid the sky and covered the earth.
Red's law was just red!
Ying Ge stood by Red's side and looked down at the Gu Nan who was instantly drowned out by red. She couldn't help wondering, "He was dealt with so easily? This doesn't seem very real…"
She and Red could barely count as contemporaries, so she knew the terror of this attack. Very few of her enemies could escape when caught inside this blood-red color.
This kind of red screen wasn't an ordinary technique. It was an abstraction taken from Red's origin law. In other words, this technique was a law that had practically become a tangible existence.
There weren't many people in the Myriad Heavens Universe who could turn their own laws into a tangible image with their own power.
But with her understanding of Gu Nan, Ying Ge felt that the other party wouldn't be killed so easily.
"It's indeed not that easy," Red's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of astonishment. Only when she fought Gu Nan personally did she realize how difficult this guy was to deal with.
In her senses, the blood-red color surrounding Gu Nan was being torn apart at an incredible rate, leaving her with almost no time to replenish the loss.
'He can actually tear apart laws directly… What kind of monster is this?'
Red had never seen a Nine Abyss Heavenly Demon before, but she was certain that Heavenly Demons most assuredly did not have such an ability.
Surrounded by the red curtain, Gu Nan's body emitted a dense black light, but the red was constantly pressing down on him, while Gu Nan was using the dumbest method to break through.
Relying on his physical body alone, he broke up this red curtain one punch at a time.
Gu Nan estimated that Red's level was probably between Tier 7 and Tier 8. However, because Zuo Zuo suppressed Star Realm for many years, she couldn't bring out her astral world's full power, so now she was only using her own strength.
But her personal strength alone was enough to suppress the lower-leveled Gu Nan and render most of his laws ineffective.
Red's substantive law was like the hardest steel and also the most pliable silk, which possessed both hardness and supple strength, making it extremely difficult to destroy.
If he wanted to challenge an opponent several levels higher, he could only rely on his exceptionally strong physique!
The Heavenly Demon state showed no signs of fading at all, so Gu Nan increased the speed of his punches and punched more and more wantonly. In the end, he was already using both hands and feet, and even his entire body became a weapon!
The red color was still continuously invading his space. Perhaps this kind of enemy that was everywhere might make people despair greatly, but Gu Nan very much welcomed such opponents.
Because he didn't need to make any judgments at all—punching or kicking anywhere at random would land hits on the target!
Bang!
Like the sound of bubbles bursting, the speed at which Red repaired the red curtain finally failed to catch up with Gu Nan's destruction, and the red curtain was completely smashed through by the latter.
Under Ying Ge's stupefied gaze, black fog constantly evaporated off of Gu Nan, as if it was burning up. He crazily charged out of the red curtain and shot at Red point-blank, just like a sharp arrow!
Ying Ge shouldn't have been able to see his movements clearly, but time seemed to slow down, and Gu Nan drew a trail in front of her eyes.
Breaking out of the red curtain and then swinging a punch at Red's face.
Red looked up. Waves of red ripples appeared before her, hovering in the air and blocking Gu Nan's punch like a shield.
Gu Nan didn't even need to think. His figure instantly appeared in another direction, launching a kick at Red, and the same ripples emerged again.
The third punch, the fourth kick… Gu Nan happily carried out these seemingly useless attacks. His movements even accelerated further without the slightest pause.
In Ying Ge's line of sight, Gu Nan seemed to have split into countless clones that launched simultaneous attacks on Red from all directions. As a result, she and Red now seemed to be surrounded by the red ripples instead!
"Go!" A shout sounded beside her ear. Ying Ge looked back in shock, only to see that Red had already opened a space passage, planning to return to Star Realm.
Ying Ge felt chills on her back and suddenly understood what Red meant. She hurriedly stepped into the passage, and then heard a soft sound…
A red shield was shattered!
Ying Ge truly was surprised this time. She knew Red for so many years, but she'd never heard of anyone physically shattering tangible laws.
Gu Nan's figure pounced at them again with an insane smile on his face. The black fog surrounding him became more and more violent and unrestrained. His expression seemed to speak of his imposing manner—the will to shatter everything!
Red's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She sent Ying Ge away with a wave of her hand, while she herself raised her hand to block Gu Nan's punch. A red luster started to shine on her hand.
Crack!
The red light was suddenly beaten back, while Red's expression froze slightly. She clearly felt a burst of monstrous strength traveling up her arm. The force of the shock directly broke her left hand.
Fortunately, this force also pushed Red away from Gu Nan. She crashed into the space passage, which made Gu Nan unable to give chase.
However, Gu Nan just stood beside the dark crack and watched the two leave, merely revealing a sneer.
The shadowy Heavenly Demon state had already hit its time limit and slowly dissipated at this time, revealing his original appearance. When he turned around again, Wu Gui was long gone, leaving only Qian Han behind.
But Qian Han, this old man, didn't plan to run away, because he discovered his own value after witnessing that fight just now.
"My Lord." Qian Han showed a humble smile. "This old man has managed Star Realm on that one's behalf for a thousand years. As long as My Lord is interested in Star Realm, this old man is willing to serve My Lord."
The value he discovered was to defect once again.
