Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 442
442 Battling Zhan Hong
The huge square was silent. Everyone was immersed in Gu Xi’s shocking sword for a long time until the judge’s voice sounded again, pulling them back to reality from the shock.
“The eighth round of the competition, begin!”
There were two people in the ring, one was Gu Xi and the other was Zhan Hong.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and with a tacit understanding, they did not start fighting.
!!
Everyone’s eyes were on the two people in the ring, their hearts filled with anticipation.
They wanted to know if this Dark Horse from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Gu Lan, would be able to defeat Zhan Hong, who was known as the number one of the Zhan Clan’s younger generation.
The battle between the two would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering battle!
“Do you think that Gu Lan can win?”
In the room, Tang Conglin took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
To the side, Tong Shan had a solemn expression. A moment later, a bitter smile appeared on his face and he shook his head, “Do we have any other choice now?”
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then turned their eyes back to the ring below.
Gu Xi was the last person in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s team and had undoubtedly become their last hope. At this critical moment, the two could only choose to believe in him.
If Gu Xi was defeated, then their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would undoubtedly miss this sect competition. And if he defeated the strongest member of the Zhan family, Zhan Hong, then the rest of the people might not be his match.
“I didn’t expect this guy to be so strong.”
Somewhere in the ring, several members of the blood spirit Association also focused their attention on Gu Xi.
“Why else do you think I’m in this state?”
The Third Brother, who was dressed in blood-red clothes, snorted coldly. Although his face could not be seen under the bamboo hat, one could still see a trace of weakness from him. It was obvious that the injuries from his previous fight with Gu Xi had not fully recovered.
“Just in case, I’ll do it myself next time.”
The Boss, who was sitting in front, narrowed his eyes and said in a flat voice.
As soon as these words came out, the other people revealed strange expressions, but they did not choose to say anything.
Clearly, they were very surprised by their Boss’s decision.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the ring was as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. Gu Xi and Zhan Hong did not make the first move, nor did anyone speak first. Even the judge, who had been waiting on the sidelines, could not help but feel a little anxious. However, seeing that the audience was looking forward to this battle, he tactfully chose not to intervene at this time.
“It seems like you’re still brooding over not killing me last time.”
After some time, Gu Xi grinned and chose to speak first.
“Indeed. After all, there’s not much meaning in living for a man who can’t even protect a woman. However, I didn’t expect you to have such strength.”
Zhan Hong nodded his head without hiding anything.
Gu Xi did not choose to continue on this topic with this guy. Instead, he swung the iron sword in his hand and asked with a smile, “Then do you think you’re my match?”
“Defeating Zhan Ning has indeed given you the right to be proud.”
“I’m not going to let you go,” Zhan Hong said indifferently. A heavy pressure surged out of his body, and a strong wind suddenly blew between heaven and earth. The surrounding spiritual energy was constantly in chaos. “But you have to know that just because you’ve surpassed the second place doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely be the first.”
“Then, I would like to see what kind of heaven-shaking strength the number one person of the Zhan Clan’s younger generation has to make you so confident.”
Gu Xi nodded his head, and the next moment, his expression turned serious. Spiritual patterns emerged from the ground under his feet, and in a flash, they outlined a huge and complicated array. At the same time, a heavy pressure like a mountain came as expected.
With just a thought, the Mountain-back Array was already displayed.
With the System’s help, setting up an earth-grade spiritual array was a piece of cake for Gu Xi. Even if it was a heaven-grade spiritual array, it could be set up in just a breath’s time.
If other spiritual array masters were to find out about Gu Xi’s speed in setting up the array, they would probably spit out blood immediately. They might even cry and beg Gu Xi to be their master.
It must be known that although spirit arrays were powerful and ever-changing, the premise of all this was that they could be successfully laid out. The higher the grade of the spiritual array, the longer it would take to lay it out. Even every year, there were many spirit array masters who died tragically in battle because of their slow laying speed. This was the weakness of all spirit array masters.
And a spirit array master like Gu Xi was a unique existence in the world.
“You’ve already buried the spirit runes underground without my knowledge… Your control over your spiritual energy is the best I’ve ever seen.”
While bearing the mountain-like pressure, Zhan Hong spoke.
Obviously, he also naturally thought that Gu Xi’s ability to set up an earth-grade spiritual array in an instant was just an illusion and that he had made preparations in advance without anyone knowing.
“However, this spirit array of yours is completely useless in front of me.”
Zhan Hong continued to speak. A jade pendant hanging in front of his chest glowed, and a protective shield emerged from the jade pendant, wrapping his entire body in it.
In an instant, Zhan Hong could no longer feel the heavy pressure from above.
It was obvious that this jade pendant was a defensive spirit tool, and its grade was not low.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your Zhan Clan is indeed a first-rate power. Your family’s wealth is really solid.”
Gu Xi glanced at the jade pendant that was emitting a faint light and smacked his lips.
With the existence of the jade pendant, the Mountain-back Array formation instantly lost the ability to restrict Zhan Hong’s movements. However, this was not too unexpected to Gu Xi. After all, he did not intend to rely on the Mountain-back Array to get rid of Zhan Hong.
“Show me your true strength.” Zhan Hong took a deep breath and clenched his fists. “I don’t want to waste time talking to you. I think I can finish you off with one strike.”
“This… Is Zhan Hong preparing to use the ferocious Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist from the start?”
Seeing this scene, a few of the Zhan Clan’s disciples below the stage could not help but exclaim.
However, they immediately remembered that Gu Xi was the last person in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so it was not impossible for him to quickly finish the competition with the power of the Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist.
In any case, as long as they won this round, their Zhan Clan would be able to advance to the next round smoothly. As for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, they could only wave goodbye to this competition.
“The other woman’s Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist has already disappointed me. I wonder if yours will disappoint me as well.”
Looking at the first Fist Shadow that appeared in the air, Gu Xi smiled slightly.
