Chapter 313 - 270: Ten-Thousand-Jin Heavy Weapon, Innate Purple Gold Fire! (Double - )
Then Song Changming looked towards Yang Guangyi on the other side.
"The reason for my visit this time..." Yang Guangyi proceeded to explain the purpose of his coming.
The other party was here, and it wasn’t for personal reasons.
In recent years, with the fall of the Outer World Corpse Refining Sect, a new Three Immortals Gu Sect has emerged, ambitious and aggressive.
In the Outer Domain, this Three Immortals Gu Sect is also showing signs of dominance, and they’ve been capturing people around the Da Lai border for Gu refining.
As more people go missing, the impact has naturally become more severe, attracting the attention of the Imperial Court.
Therefore, Yang Guangyi wanted to invite Song Changming to come out and join him in combating this Three Immortals Gu Sect, to once again eradicate this inhuman Outer Realm Evil Cult sect!
"Proposing this matter so abruptly, I may be out of line. Brother Song, there’s no need for you to give me an immediate answer. I’ll stay in the city for a few days, and you may decide to go or not at your discretion." Yang Guangyi added.
Heeding the repeated advice of Gu Wenhui before departing, he did not intend to force Song Changming, nor did he use the righteousness of the world to compel him.
He merely stated the matter without saying much more, leaving it entirely up to Song Changming’s own will to go or not.
"Hmm, I’m aware of the matter now." Song Changming nodded but didn’t immediately agree.
Though he has always been hailed as a great hero, he actually lacks the spirit of chivalry.
He wouldn’t let a few words from someone else sway him into an impulsive act of justice.
"Well then, Sect Leader Gongsun, please." Song Changming raised his hand.
"Okay!" Gongsun Xuanzhou agreed, and the two went outside the city together.
With their level of strength, if they were to duel within the city, it would likely lead to countless casualties.
There’s actually no suspense in this duel. Although Gongsun Xuanzhou is currently second on the Da Lai Celestial List, with a recent Qi Refining Cultivation reaching the eighth level,
his strength is enough to hold sway throughout Da Lai.
But for Song Changming, who has entered the Innate Realm, such a duel is no different from crushing weaker opponents.
In consideration of the Profound Gold, he gave Gongsun Xuanzhou ample opportunity to fully unleash his power and techniques, leaving no regrets.
The Heaven Opening Axe in Gongsun Xuanzhou’s hand, weighing eight thousand pounds, was indeed conspicuous, its formidable Inner Qi making the ground continually crack under his strikes.
After dozens of rounds, seeing Song Changming casually unscathed, Gongsun Xuanzhou realized the gap between them was far wider than he had imagined.
This result was a bit hard for him to accept, but the facts were right before him.
The Zhuji Pavilion rankings weren’t wrong; Song Changming’s strength, sitting on the throne as the best in the world, is well deserved.
"One last move!" Gongsun Xuanzhou didn’t find himself embarrassing for fighting such a strong opponent as Song Changming. Even in defeat, he could gain plenty.
Mystic Technique: Flying Golden Axe!
Gongsun Xuanzhou concentrated all his aura into one point, detonating it with his great axe.
Furious currents ripped across the axe blade, with energy buzzing in the air.
The eight-thousand-pound axe fully amplified Gongsun Xuanzhou’s power, creating an oppressive force far superior to moments ago.
Originally confident, Gongsun Xuanzhou believed that no Qi Refining Martial Artist in the world could withstand this axe.
Yet in the next moment, Song Changming didn’t even draw his sword, merely extending his left hand to break through the gust and pressure, and directly grabbed the falling axe blade.
A few fingers pinched the axe face, instantly freezing the eight-thousand-pound axe in midair, preventing it from falling a fraction more.
The dark golden Inner Qi around Gongsun Xuanzhou surged repeatedly, yet it couldn’t move the great axe at all, neither letting it fall nor pull out.
"Hero Song’s innate divine power, I am far inferior, not even by a fraction..." Gongsun Xuanzhou acknowledged reality, dissipating his Inner Qi, and sighed.
Song Changming’s strength truly shattered his understanding.
He’s the fierce man who destroyed the Corpse Refining Sect, and there is only one Song Changming in the world!
"Thanks for letting me." Song Changming released the axe, politely clasping his hands.
"Even the legendary Nan Wuji back then didn’t have such skills, truly making this journey worthwhile!" Gongsun Xuanzhou exclaimed.
"In the future, when I go to the Ancient Abyss Country, I hope one day I can meet Hero Song again..."
"There will be a chance." Song Changming nodded.
The three returned to the city and parted ways.
"Elder Gongsun, about Song Changming’s strength?" Yang Guangyi suddenly remarked.
"You saw the situation just now; it can only be described as unfathomable. I couldn’t even force him to use his Inner Qi Cultivation. Just a casual move was enough to deal with me..." Gongsun Xuanzhou said helplessly.
It’s impossible to say he didn’t feel defeated.
Half a lifetime in martial practice, he had never been defeated so thoroughly as today.
He couldn’t clearly see Song Changming’s true strength now.
"Six years ago, he was able to single-handedly annihilate the Corpse Refining Sect. Over six years have passed, his strength could only have grown stronger!" Gongsun Xuanzhou said softly, looking at Yang Guangyi.
"If he agrees to tackle the Three Immortals Gu Sect, there won’t be anything left for the two of us to do."
"Indeed." Yang Guangyi nodded deeply.
Song Changming’s performance today was not only shocking to Gongsun Xuanzhou; it left him equally astounded beyond measure.
Speaking of the Celestial List, he could still roughly sense the strength gaps between others.
But when it comes to Song Changming, he couldn’t even begin to gauge the immense difference in strength between them.
