Chapter 468 - 468 The Second Move
468 The Second Move
Under the scorching sun, thousands of Sword Qi let out ear-piercing cries and turned into a flood of steel, whistling and flying out. Zhan Wushuang, who was not far away, had been standing at his original spot the entire time. However, a vague trace of astonishment flashed across the depths of his indifferent eyes.
“Your strength is beyond my expectations. If we were in the same realm, I might not be able to face you. But it’s a pity that there are no ifs.” Zhan Wushuang chuckled as his pupils reflected on the approaching flood of Sword Qi.
The next moment, the torrent of Sword Qi tore through the void and descended. In almost an instant, countless Sword Qi swallowed him up.
At this moment, the void around Zhan Wushuang’s location was being torn apart by the sharp Sword Qi. The pitch-black void was like a ferocious mouth that swallowed everything in its vicinity.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a huge formation. The Zhan Clan Master can’t possibly be defeated like this, right?” A young man in the crowd spoke as he watched everything that was happening.
Hearing this, the other older man beside him could not help but curl his lips and said, “So what if the formation is large? It’s all useless in front of the absolute difference in strength.”
As soon as he said this, everyone could not help but nod in agreement.
In their eyes, Gu Xi’s moves were gorgeous, and it was hard to find a match for him among cultivators in the same cultivation realm. But no matter how powerful he was, there was still a huge realm difference between him and Zhan Wushuang. This was something that was almost impossible to make up for.
At the same time, the number of Sword Qi torrents in the air had been reduced sharply. The torn void was gradually restored to its original state, and a somewhat blurry figure appeared in everyone’s sight.
Everyone, including Gu Xi, subconsciously shifted their gazes over. They were eager to see if Gu Xi’s powerful attack could cause any trouble for Zhan Wushuang.
However, when everyone saw the figure clearly, they could not help but feel a little disappointed.
In midair, Zhan Wushuang was still floating at his original spot. At this moment, he did not have any injuries on his body. His face was still ruddy and full of energy, not looking like he was fazed at all.
“Your first move seems to have ended in failure.” Zhan Wushuang smiled and spoke in a light tone.
Gu Xi nodded. He was not surprised that Zhan Wushuang was unscathed, as though he had already expected it. He then said, “This first strike was just to test your true strength”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wushuang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. However, he quickly calmed down and said, “Since you’ve already tested me, what are you going to do next? Or perhaps, do you have any other way?”
Gu Xi was not in a hurry to respond but fell into deep thought.
Gu Xi had the System by his side and was not too afraid of Zhan Wushuang. However, Gu Xi did not have many spirit skills that he could use, let alone force Zhan Wushuang to retreat a hundred feet.
Of course, the bet did not place a limit on the type of methods he could use. In other words, even if he revealed his trump card and used the heaven-grade spirit array, he would definitely force Zhan Wushuang back.
However, it was not worth it to expose his trump card for a verbal bet.
“Now, this is the only way,” after a moment of contemplation, Gu Xi muttered to himself.
Zhan Wushuang’s brows twitched as he quietly waited for Gu Xi’s next move. He did not have any intention of urging Gu Xi. In his opinion, he had to show the bearing of a senior and a strong person when facing a junior like Gu Xi whose strength was completely being suppressed. Patience was the best way to show it.
“Zhan Clan Master, you have to be careful with my next attack.” Gu Xi took a deep breath and a majestic spiritual power continued to surge out of his body. The spiritual energy rose under his control and quickly entered the heavy clouds above.
“If you’re not careful, you might really lose.” Gu Xi spoke again with a faint smile on his lips.
“You can do whatever you want.” Zhan Wushuang laughed disdainfully. In the next moment, he raised his head and stared at the large amount of clouds that were gathering above him. He squinted his eyes and furrowed his brows. It was as if there was an existence behind the heavy clouds that made him feel some fear.
Zhan Wushuang’s actions naturally did not escape the eyes of the crowd. Everyone raised their heads and followed Zhan Wushuang’s line of sight. Right at this moment, a terrifying wave of energy came down from the sky. The heavy pressure made everyone feel suffocated. Many people even released their spiritual energy to protect themselves, and only then did they feel better.
“What kind of spirit technique is this? What a terrifying fluctuation!”
“Why do I feel that this fluctuation is a little familiar? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
People in the crowd kept exclaiming in surprise. Everyone was guessing.
“This is… Valiant Heavenly… Divine Palm?” suddenly, a person’s eyes widened as he exclaimed.
The heavy clouds above them were slowly dispersing, and the shadow of a huge palm that was a thousand feet wide appeared in everyone’s field of vision. Compared to the Palm Shadow that Gu Xi had used against Zhan Hong in the previous competition, this Palm Shadow was much larger, and the lines on the palm were clearly visible, as if it was a real palm.
“He’s even stronger than before, but the six Palm Shadows only defeated Zhan Hong. If he wants to force Zhan Wushuang back by a hundred feet… I’m afraid he’ll fail again.”
Tang Conglin sighed slightly as he looked at the Palm Shadows above his head, which covered most of the sky like a dark cloud. It was obvious that he did not think highly of Gu Xi’s attack.
“Let’s wait and see. If he doesn’t have absolute confidence, this kid wouldn’t be like this,” Tong Shan said with a frown. He was in no hurry to make a conclusion.
In contrast to the disappointment and mockery from the crowd, Zhan Wushuang’s brows were gradually furrowed. As the person with the highest cultivation realm present, and a Great Saint, his unfathomable spirit consciousness could bring him things that others could not.
Although he was not present during the battle between Gu Xi and Zhan Hong, he had a rough idea of the power of this spirit skill from their previous exchange.
The feedback from his divine sense told him that the power this time was far greater than before!
