Chapter 204 - 202: Five Sects Besiege Gu the God of Slaughter (Part 5)
"You brat, how arrogant!"
A roaring shout echoed through the skies as Yu Fengxing’s cane struck the ground, shattering dozens of slabs. He said in a deep voice, "Gu Zhan, don’t say we in the Pingyang Martial World bully the few with many. We, from the five sects, will each send out one person. If you can defeat all five, then we’ll let the Sixth Young Master take you away to get an explanation from Beidou Bang!"
Gu Zhan sneered slightly; it was the usual wheel tactic,
For an ordinary martial arts novice, they might think this is the Righteous Martial Dao showing some sense of fairness, as they didn’t attack directly altogether,
In reality, it’s a strategy by the sects to minimize the greatest losses,
The wheel tactic, where the first ones deplete the opponent’s stamina, and the subsequent ones deliver the killing strikes, might even achieve zero casualties while killing the opponent. This is calculation, not moral righteousness!
However,
Gu Zhan didn’t care; he pointed his Horizontal Saber and said loudly, "Which of you is coming to die first?"
"Hmph," Yu Fengxing snorted coldly and said, "Since this is a rule proposed by this old man, naturally, I’ll be the first to fight!"
In an instant, all the Gu Family members and Mo Beiyan’s expressions changed.
Mo Beiyan immediately shouted, "Elder Yu, isn’t it inappropriate for someone of your seniority to personally take the field?"
Yu Fengxing said solemnly, "In slaying demons and eradicating evil, there’s no consideration of seniority in the Martial World Righteous Dao!"
After speaking, he looked at Gu Zhan and said coldly:
"You young brat, come and meet your end!"
Gu Zhan leisurely walked down with his Horizontal Saber, saying in a deep voice, "Old man! Considering you’re disabled, I’ll take a few steps to send you on your way!"
As he spoke, Gu Zhan summoned the system:
[Use 1 million experience points]
[Upgrade Four Seas Unification Blade Technique to Great Success Realm]
...
In a trance,
Gu Zhan felt as if he had become a blade,
It was a very wonderful feeling,
A realm of unity between blade and person,
The blade is me, I am the blade.
With eyes slightly closed, Gu Zhan stepped forward,
A terrifying wave of Qi blasted out like an upheaval, lifting and hurling the heavy slabs laid on the ground into the air, rushing at Yu Fengxing like a gale blowing leaves.
Yu Fengxing stood with his cane in the center of the plaza, watching the dozens of huge slabs weighing hundreds of pounds each surge toward him like a tidal wave. He snorted lightly, tapping his cane lightly on the ground,
At that moment, the world went silent,
The dozens of slabs, each weighing several hundred pounds, all froze, suspended in mid-air. In the next instant, they suddenly shattered, as though a hailstorm fell from the sky.
"Crash" "Ding Dong..."
The shattered stone fell madly, the sky turning blurry, as if in a downpour.
At that moment,
A terrifying Saber Intent soared into the sky,
Gu Zhan, dragging his Horizontal Saber, instantly smashed through the descending stone, appearing right in front of Yu Fengxing. His Horizontal Saber slashed into the thick, water-like air, revealing a shadow like black lightning.
The slash was so fast it was indescribable, rubbing against the air at high speed, emitting a heart-wrenching whistling sound. The blade seemed to ignite, bursting out with a flame-like wave of Qi, instantly transforming into a massive blade two or three zhang long, slashing toward Yu Fengxing.
As the slash fell,
Yu Fengxing, who was already slightly hunched over with his cane, seemed utterly insignificant under the strike.
Yet he remained calm,
Lightly tapping his foot, his figure leaned back, flying backward, then swung his cane made of some unknown material, pointing it out,
THUNDER~~
Instantly, the slightly warm mountainside under the morning sun, within a range of over ten zhang, steamed with mist at a visible speed, covering each stone slab with a layer of frost, rising in shimmering hues under the fiery morning sun.
The air tore open like paper, producing the sound of ripping cloth.
The force was like a whistling crossbow arrow!
Within two zhang, it solidified in an instant,
The air filled with ice cones like a torrential rain, instantly attacking fiercely,
In that moment,
The area within several zhang solidified,
Those ice cones bizarrely materialized, surging and colliding into Gu Zhan’s terrifying Saber Qi.
"Boom"
With a thunderous explosion, that terrifying Saber Qi was directly overwhelmed by the oncoming ice cones, bursting forth with a suppressive stance.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng..."
The saber shadows danced chaotically, Gu Zhan’s Horizontal Saber transforming into streams of saber light, shattering the ice cones. His toes lightly touched the ground as he continuously retreated, pulling back seven or eight zhang!
"The Frost Ice Finger from Changfeng Valley!"
Gu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly. After all, he had the intention to deal with the various sects of Pingyang Prefecture, and although he had investigated the inside details of each sect thoroughly, he paid particular attention to their Absolute Techniques.
Just as Yu Fengxing made his move,
Gu Zhan recognized it immediately; it should be one of Changfeng Valley’s Absolute Techniques, the Frost Ice Finger, a Finger Technique of Earth Tier Middle Grade.
In terms of grade, this is the highest level of martial arts from Changfeng Valley. However, because Yu Fengxing transformed various Leg Techniques to create the Earth Tier Lower Grade Celestial Deformed Leg tailored for himself, it became more famous in the martial world. Thus, nowadays, when people mention Changfeng Valley, the Celestial Deformed Leg is the first thing that comes to mind.
Actually, the real inherited Absolute Technique of Changfeng Valley is the Frost Ice Finger.
Moreover,
from the recent encounter, Gu Zhan could see that Yu Fengxing did not poorly master the Frost Ice Finger of Earth Tier Middle Grade, having already reached the Minor Success Realm, though not yet at the realm of Integrating and Mastering.
This was normal, after all, not everyone is in cheat mode,
Martial Arts Secret Manual divides into three stages,
Entry Level, Minor Success, Great Success,
Strictly speaking, each of the three stages has various layers, but Gu Zhan is not like ordinary people; every time he upgrades, he directly reaches the pinnacle of that realm.
...
"Brat, how many more fingers can you withstand?"
As Gu Zhan retreated, Yu Fengxing immediately halted his movement, quickly poised again with a thrust of the cane, and suddenly, strands of terrifying mist, resembling soldier’s fog, quickly emerged as if solidifying the air,
Bindings of ice cones solidified, surged towards him, fusing continuously in the process, and in an instant, resembling an ice dragon roaring, rampaging directly at Gu Zhan.
The Horizontal Saber in Gu Zhan’s hand quivered slightly,
In the air, suddenly the saber intent unseen erupted,
"Break!"
Gu Zhan fiercely slashed out,
Like waves of saber qi accompanied the slash falling,
"Boom"
That slash fiercely chopped onto the ice dragon,
In an instant, that soldier’s fog resembling the ice dragon coalesced into an ice cone.
"Clang"
Upon impact, unexpectedly, a burst of sparks appeared.
"Break!"
Gu Zhan shouted aloud, stomped forcefully,
"Buzzing..."
A muffled sound emerged,
Golden light burst forth from Gu Zhan, his whole being transformed into a Golden Man, glowing arms full of strength, hands gripping the Horizontal Saber, push forcefully, directly smashing the massive ice cone,
"Crackling..."
A thunderous sound, endless ice shards scattered,
Gu Zhan plunged into the ice mist, each step leaving deep footprints on the ground, accompanied by clinking sounds of metal and stone, Gu Zhan rushed towards Yu Fengxing.
Yu Fengxing unhurriedly, raised his left hand, swiftly jabbed several fingers,
Bindings of ice cones shot out,
However, this time, Gu Zhan did not evade, wildly wielding the Horizontal Saber, strands of golden light spreading out.
"Clang" "Clang" "Clang" "..."
Sounds of clashing metal resonated, yet couldn’t halt Gu Zhan’s brunt.
Yu Fengxing finally showed a hint of concern,
"Such strong defensive martial arts, unexpectedly cultivated to such extent, this child’s talent is truly terrifying, must eliminate today, lest in future cause the annihilation of his sect!"
At that instant,
Gu Zhan suddenly stamped his foot, momentarily appeared in the air, and in the next moment spun around to slash down, directly appearing above Yu Fengxing’s head.
Yu Fengxing swung his cane to block,
"Clang" a sound,
Along with sparks, Yu Fengxing retreated rapidly.
"Humph!"
Gu Zhan coldly snorted, pounced forward,
He absolutely refused to let Yu Fengxing escape, just the initial encounter unnoticed taking a covert loss.
This Yu Fengxing is a Great Cultivator in the Third Realm Profound Mysterious Realm, able to command Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, altering its operation patterns.
Gu Zhan’s earlier Saber Technique, diminished in power due to insufficient Primordial Qi, at this moment risk using Creation Golden Body to manage close combat, suppressing the advantages of manipulating primordial qi in the Profound Mysterious Realm.
