Chapter 280 - 256: Slaying the Grandmaster (Part 2)
In that instant,
all the senior members of Beidou Bang were shocked,
they were somewhat flustered,
for Liu Zuifeng turned out to be a Grandmaster, which had already exceeded their expectations. Although they hadn’t stopped this decisive battle from happening, they weren’t willing for Gu Zhan to simply die here.
Xiao Chen, the burly man, instinctively prepared to step in, but was held back by Mo Jingzhou.
"With me here, Gu Zhan will not die!"
In that moment, Xiao Chen snapped back to his senses,
Gu Zhan’s importance to Beidou Bang now went without saying. Mo Jingzhou naturally wouldn’t let him truly be in trouble. The reason he hadn’t stopped this sword immediately could only be twofold: One, to see just how strong Gu Zhan really was; Two, to give Gu Zhan another chance to make a name for himself. Losing to a Grandmaster wasn’t shameful, but if he were to win, the title of ’Beidou Bang’s number one among the younger generation’ would be cemented for him.
At this moment,
on that empty ground,
the giant sword was falling swiftly, vast and immense, like a mountain dropping down, its speed incredibly fast, the howling sounds like battle drums beating, and in that instant, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi became utterly chaotic.
Beneath that sword, Gu Zhan was as insignificant as an ant.
He slowly raised his head,
and in that instant,
a blade intent surged skyward,
and yet, in a blur,
a saber appeared out of thin air, colliding head-on with that sword,
Mahayana One Slash,
Mahayana means incomparably vast; what’s called Mahayana One Slash is the Infinite Slash.
In the sky, that giant sword descended from above, an overwhelming aura surging forth, waves of sword qi radiating, and the solid floor, under the pressure of that sharp sword qi, cracked with fissures.
And Gu Zhan slashed out with his saber,
Mahayana One Slash, Infinite Slash,
the saber intent was vast, the world suddenly filled with murderous aura,
the saber was not large at all, just the Jade Bone Saber in Gu Zhan’s hands; but at that moment, though only four feet long, in everyone’s eyes it was boundless, directly striking the giant sword,
a four-foot-long saber,
slashing at a ten-zhang-long giant sword,
from any angle, it looked like a mantis trying to stop a cart or an ant shaking a tree,
yet, with a massive "boom," a thunderous explosion echoed across the sky,
a burst of golden light enveloped Gu Zhan,
he became like a Golden Man forged from pure gold, even the Jade Bone Saber in his hands radiated golden light,
gripping the hilt with both hands, he slashed the giant sword,
the immense force pressed down,
Gu Zhan’s legs kept sinking into the ground,
a sound like thunder roared in the air, as if the wrath of the thunder god, making people’s spirit involuntarily tremble with fear.
After the thunder, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi erupted like a volcano, colliding wildly. Two ferocious and violent streams of sword intent and saber intent rampaged through the air, dust and smoke billowed, the ground collapsed, stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky,
those outside could only see, in the shrouded haze, the giant sword continuing to fall, accompanied by waves of terrifying noise, horrific forces clashing and making the void blur and twist.
Terrifying airwaves churned violently,
startling many into retreat; some were directly swept off their feet, the surrounding buildings shook, countless tiles flew like falling leaves,
even so,
most people still stared unblinkingly,
this duel,
from the very start, had been full of surprises,
Gu Zhan didn’t meet the battle head-on, but had the Embroidered Uniform Guard surround Liu Zuifeng, and then, as Liu Zuifeng was about to be killed, he suddenly exposed his Grandmaster cultivation and used Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect to suppress all.
That sword,
very few believed Gu Zhan could withstand it,
but also, very few believed Beidou Gang would stand by and watch. However, up till now, Mo Jingzhou and Xiao Chen still hadn’t made a move,
the result of this battle instantly turned shrouded in mystery.
Terrifying airwaves crashed down like waterfalls, sending waves rippling as if a huge stone had been thrown into a lake. Ripples spread endlessly, the ground kept cracking, the dust becoming ever more monstrous,
that giant sword kept descending, vanishing inch by inch.
Until even the hilt was swallowed by the dust,
everyone held their breath,
only Liu Zuifeng in the distance, hands forming magic formulas, face grave, arm trembling violently, his palm surged with explosive force like a volcano, bursting forth as he reached up to the sky.
A faint breeze appeared at his feet, swirling, growing bigger and bigger, the sky seemed overcast, and a terrifying gale rose from flat ground,
in the sky, the terrifying buzzing sounded again, dazzling lights appeared, and it was as if lightning split the sky, thunder fell, stirring up raging winds, endless sand and stones, endless sword intent rampaging like a bombardment.
When that lightning struck,
the crowd finally saw clearly—it was Liu Zuifeng’s sword,
"Sword—slash!"
waves of terrifying sword qi churned like a boiling cauldron, all the gales of heaven and earth were swept up, as if in their death throes, yet in an instant, all surged into the dust, and in a flash, the dust cleared,
endless sword qi gathered in that sword, imposing over the whole world, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was sucked dry in that moment, the air suddenly compressed, making it hard to breathe, a terrifying sword light slashed out a trench several zhang long, the ground already a deep pit, exploded all at once.
And yet,
when that sword fell,
Liu Zuifeng was suddenly shocked,
for he could clearly sense Gu Zhan was right here,
but as he unleashed his sword—Gu Zhan was gone!
