Chapter 441
441 One Sword Strike to Decide Victory and Defeat
“There’s only one person left in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. It looks like he’s going to be eliminated this time.”
“That’s not necessarily true. The last person is Gu Lan. That fellow’s strength is probably not inferior to Zhan Ning’s.”
“So what? right now, the Zhan Clan only has four people left. Including Zhan Ning on the stage, that’s a total of five people. Does Gu Lan think that she can single-handedly wipe out the entire opposing team?”
“Based on Gu Lan’s previous performance, it’s hard to say.”
“I’m laughing my ass off! I bet 100 spiritual stones that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will definitely be eliminated in this round!”
“Alright, let’s wait and see!”
In the stands, the two of them were arguing over whether the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would be eliminated or not, as well as Gu Lan’s strength. In the end, it became a bet.
Although some of the people present had high hopes for Gu Xi’s strength, it was nothing compared to those who supported the Zhan Clan.
As a first-rate power, the Zhan Clan still had five people who had not been eliminated. In their eyes, no matter how strong Gu Xi was, it would be difficult to turn the situation around.
It was as if the elimination of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had become permanent.
Even the elders from the various sects on the high platform were not optimistic about the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the current situation. Many people felt that it was a pity.
With their status in the sect and even in the continent, they were not willing to offend the number one Chamber of Commerce. They could only blame the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for being unlucky. However, no one understood why the Zhan Clan would choose the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion as their opponent in the third round. Of course, they no longer cared about such trivial matters.
As the unconscious Liu Li was carried off the ring, Gu Xi slowly walked up to the ring. As the last person left in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion team, he also represented the hope of the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Normally, he should be very nervous, but he was very calm.
“It seems that Gu Lan has already given up hope!”
On the high platform, a white-haired old man chuckled.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding elders looked at each other and smiled. Obviously, they all had the same idea that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would definitely be eliminated in this round!
“Your demeanor… You’re underestimating me.”
In the ring, Zhan Ning stared at Gu Xi and frowned.
“Oh… I guess so.”
Gu Xi nodded. “You’re no match for me in your current state. I’d advise you to step down on your own accord so that you don’t have to suffer.”
Hearing this, Zhan Ning was slightly taken aback. Before she could react, the faces of the Zhan Clan members below the stage all changed.
No wonder these words sounded so familiar. Wasn’t these the same words Zhan Shengjie and the other two had used to persuade those people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to surrender…
Now that these words were used on them, it sounded a little awkward.
“There’s no need to say anything else. Although my current condition is not very good, it is still a little early for you to say that you can easily defeat me.”
Zhan Ning’s face was cold as she spoke, and faint spiritual energy was already surging around her.
Gu Xi was not surprised by her answer. He slowly nodded and an ordinary iron sword appeared in his hand. in that case, I’ll have to beat you down myself.
“I hope so,” Zhan Ning snorted coldly and clenched her fists. All the remaining spiritual energy in her Dantian began to flow towards her fists, and four Fist Shadows faintly appeared in the air again.
However, compared to when he was fighting Hou Yu, these four Fist Shadows were clearly a little dimmer and less powerful.
“Take my move first!” Zhan Ning shouted as she threw out both her fists.
The next moment, four Fist Shadows whizzed out one after another, like a sharp axe cutting through the mountain wall, cutting through the void, carrying a vast amount of spiritual power toward Gu Xi.
“I can’t believe she can still use the Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Gu Xi smacked his lips and sounded a little surprised. “But it’s time for this to end. You should go down and have a good rest.”
As his voice fell, the iron sword in his hand was slowly lifted.
“Sword Drawing Technique.” Gu Xi said softly, his eyes shining.
At this moment, a sky full of Sword Qi appeared out of thin air. The sharp aura seemed to pierce through the sky. A burning cloud rolled over and gathered in this place. A large amount of Sword Qi cut the void, leaving a long, dark crack.
“What kind of spirit skill is this?!”
“Could it be a heaven-grade spirit skill?”
The spectators in the stands could not help but cry out in surprise when they saw the phenomenon that had appeared in the world. Even the elders on the high platform were shocked.
At the same time, the four Fist Shadows had already whizzed to the front of Gu Xi, and the suffocating pressure hit him in the face. The wind between heaven and earth suddenly rose, causing dust to fly in the ring for a while, making it impossible for people to see what was happening.
“Damn it, can’t you just clean the dust on the stage?!”
Some people in the stands could not help but grumble. This problem always appeared at times like this, which greatly affected their viewing experience.
The next moment, a shocking sword cry rang out from the arena.
Immediately after, the Sword Qi wreaked havoc in the sky. A shocking sword light flashed, and even the flying dust was forcibly cut open by it. Moreover, it also cut open the four Fist Shadows.
The sword light did not even stop for a moment. It easily cut through everything in its way, even the fourth layer of the Heavenly Divine Fist.
“Is… Is it over?”
“That’s Zhan Ning from the Zhan Clan…”
In the arena, Zhan Ning knelt on the ground. At this moment, her clothes were in tatters, and with a gentle breeze, it revealed the snow-white color hidden under her clothes.
“You should go down,” Gu Xi said lightly and did not even bother to look at her.
Surprisingly, Zhan Ning did not feel angry at Gu Xi’s attitude.
“Indeed, you are very strong, much stronger than me.”
She nodded, and with a wave of her hand, she changed into a new set of clothes. Then, she staggered and fell to the ground. She no longer had the strength to stand up.
The judge appeared and announced the results after a brief inspection.
“The seventh round, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wins!”
After saying that, the referee glanced at Gu Xi who was not far away. He was obviously surprised by the Sword Drawing Technique that he had just displayed.
The referee was thinking if he were to face that sword strike… Could he easily withstand it? Could he… even… Survive?
