Chapter 479 - 479 Formation Broken, Blood Cocoon!
479 Formation Broken, Blood Cocoon!
Silence, a deathly silence.
Facing Zhan Wushuang’s current situation, everyone present chose to remain silent. Even those sects and powers that were on good terms with the Zhan Clan had chosen to remain silent.
They had never thought that Gu Xi, who was so young, would be able to fight with Zhan Wushuang. What was more unexpected was that there was a peak cultivator who is close to the Emperor stage behind him!
Under the suppression of absolute strength, no one dared to say anything!
“Since the Zhan Clan Master has already agreed to this Junior’s request, then this can be considered to have come to a temporary end.” Gu Xi chuckled and nodded at Zhan Wushuang. He then swept his gaze across the crowd. No one dared to look him in the eye as they were afraid that their careless actions would offend this junior.
“Then, our Grand Sect Competition… Can we continue?” Gu Xi placed his hands behind her back and waited for everyone’s answer.
Everyone looked at each other with a bitter smile on their faces. In their hearts, they had already cursed Gu Xi’s ancestors for 18 generations.
With the strength that Gu Xi had just displayed, he could be said to be the leader of the younger generation in the Eastern Continent, sitting in the first place. With such tyrannical strength, there was almost no need to continue the Grand Sect Competition.
Although the competition had yet to end, everyone present already knew who the champion would be. Gu Xi also understood this truth in his heart, so he smiled and said, “It seems that everyone doesn’t really want me to continue participating in the tournament. I can pull out of the competition, but the champion position of the tournament… I’m sure you don’t have any objections to give that position to my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, right?”
“That’s only natural. Little Friend Gu has displayed such astonishing strength. There’s no doubt that you’ll be the champion.”
“That’s right, that’s right, our Lingyun Sect has no objections to this.”
“My Khua Sect also has no objections…”
…
As Gu Xi’s voice fell, voices of agreement sounded one after another. Everyone tried their best to squeeze out a smile, not daring to show the slightest displeasure. Not to mention Gu Xi’s strength, just Yun Zhiyi standing there alone was enough to make them tremble in fear. Naturally, they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction, unless they were tired of living.
Gu Xi was not surprised by everyone’s attitude at all. On the contrary, Tong Shan and Tang Conglin were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and didn’t recover from their shock for a long time.
“Does that mean… We’re the champion?”
“Old Tong, quickly pinch me. Am I dreaming?” Tang Conglin mumbled as he nudged Tong Shan, who was also frozen in place.
Tong Shan was the first to snap out of his daze. He first glanced at Gu Xi, who was not far away, then turned around and gave Tang Conglin a hard blow. The latter grimaced in pain. “This isn’t a dream. We’re really the champion.”
Tong Shan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He recalled that when he first brought Gu Xi to Lanjiang City to participate in the Grand Sect Competition, he did not even think about the position of champion. After all, none of the sects that could participate in this competition were outstanding people.
But now… With Gu Xi’s strength and his unfathomable background, he alone had successfully achieved the impossible for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!
“For you to bring him to us, it was really… a wise decision!” Tang Conglin had also regained his senses. Like Tong Shan, he was also looking at Gu Xi’s position. “But it seems like it’s going to be difficult to get him into our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
Tong Shan nodded without saying anything. However, he suddenly thought of something very soon and chuckled. “This might not be the case…”
…
At the same time, on the other side.
The huge formation enveloped the vast land, and the scene of purgatory was mixed with terrifying fluctuations that constantly spread in all directions. There seemed to be a blurry blood-colored figure within this formation. If one were to take a closer look, one would discover that this was not a blood-colored figure, but a… Blood Cocoon!
Crack–
After an unknown period of time, a clear and melodious sound suddenly resounded in the world.
At the bottom of the Blood Cocoon, a small crack appeared. In just a few short breaths, the crack had reached the top and spread out in all directions, like a dense spider web.
Crack, crack, crack–
A series of sounds rang out, and the outer shell of the Blood Cocoon began to gradually fall off. The smell of blood, so thick that it was enough to make one nauseated, continued to surge out and spread. In the blink of an eye, it had already filled the entire formation.
The dense Blood Qi was constantly and forcefully corroding the interior of the formation, causing the already overused formation to become more and more transparent, until it was on the verge of collapse.
The outer shell of the Blood Cocoon had completely fallen off, and a naked figure slowly walked out of it. Every step left a clear blood-red footprint on the ground, and these footprints were all corroded beyond recognition.
The man looked very delicate and pretty, but his entire body was covered in complicated blood patterns. These blood patterns were constantly wriggling, as if they were long snakes.
Soon, as the man slowly walked forward, he came to the edge of the array. He slowly raised his head and stared expressionlessly at the edge that was being corroded by a large amount of Blood Qi. He slowly reached out a hand, and the moment his hand touched the array, a palm-shaped hole suddenly appeared.
Even though this heaven-grade spirit array had extraordinary self-repairing abilities, it was to no avail no matter how much spiritual energy was used to repair the hole.
With the appearance of the first hole, the Blood Qi that filled the sky immediately swarmed in. In a few breaths of time, the hole had been enlarged by hundreds of times, until it was greedily devouring the entire formation.
A heaven-grade spirit array was completely corroded into nothingness just like that!
“Gu Lan…”
“Gu Lan…”
The man spoke slowly, and for the first time, there was some emotion in his numb eyes.
However, this emotion was negative, and it was filled with killing intent and hatred!
“I will make you pay the price…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man’s figure strangely turned into a cloud of blood mist. A breeze blew past, and the blood mist disappeared without. trace, leaving only the ground filled with holes, and the strong smell of blood in the air…
