The ground seemed to tremble after Xiao Yan made a single move.
The raging torrent of lava crashed down, its target Gu Xing!
Among the large crowd of onlookers, some were young people who had only come to join the fun, but they were already feeling their breaths becoming hot. Some even needed their clansmen to intervene and provide support, demonstrating the terrifying power of Xiao Yan's attack!
Gu Xing's body was now devoid of any radiance, looking like a shaky sculpture. He did not dodge or evade, but instead thrust his palms forward. The movement seemed slow, but it contained a tremendous force capable of splitting mountains and shattering the earth!
boom!
The first torrent of lava slammed into Gu Xing's rock-like palms! A deafening roar resounded as the dark red molten lava was forcefully cleaved in two by those earthen-yellow giant palms. The raging torrent of fire was forced to split to both sides, forming two scorching waterfalls behind Gu Xing, with sparks flying like a crimson meteor shower.
However, this is just the beginning!
The reason why Xiao Yan's Ninefold Crimson Tide is called "Ninefold" is that its terrifying aspect lies in the fact that the attack is continuous and the impact of each layer is stronger than the last! Almost the instant the first torrent was split, the second, even thicker and more concentrated torrent of lava followed! Its momentum was stronger and its power was more ferocious!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The roar continued incessantly, and Gu Xing's body trembled violently under the violent energy impact. The earthy yellow luster on his body surface was dimming at a visible speed.
"What an overpowered fighting technique!"
"But Gu Xing showed no signs of defeat."
A figure from the Soul Clan, shrouded entirely in black robes, commented, "It doesn't seem that simple?"
As his voice faded, Gu Xing suddenly realized that the color of the torrent before him had changed! It was no longer a pure dark red, but had a chilling cyan hue!
Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!
After enduring this wave, Gu Xing's body developed fine cracks.
Gu Xing was shocked. Could Xiao Yan really combine the characteristics of different strange fires in this wave?
Xiao Yan possesses more than one type of strange fire; the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is one of the weaker ones he has.
As expected, after the cyan torrent, a sea-blue fire as raging as a storm, and a dark purple fire containing the power of stars, successively washed over Gu Xing's defenses. Gu Xing felt his blood and qi churning violently from this force, and his arms went numb.
But the most fatal blow has finally arrived.
The Ninth Torrent—a pure, crimson sea of fire, the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, Xiao Yan's natal flame!
The first eight impacts had already caused the decaying luster on Gu Xing's body to waver, which was not good news. The Eternal Emperor Body was a mid-level Heaven-rank combat skill, and Gu Xing had never been able to perfect it since he began cultivating it, and now it was truly in trouble.
The crimson sea of fire surged forth, and this flame was no longer just about high temperature and impact. Gu Xing felt an indescribable heat suddenly rise from the deepest part of his heart.
not good!
Red Lotus Karmic Fire, Heart Fire Burning!
This time, Gu Xing failed to break through the sea of crimson flames and was swallowed by it. Of course, the Eternal Emperor Body was still functioning, and Gu Xing focused all his efforts on resisting the invading flames within his body. He did not panic, but he did feel somewhat uneasy.
His greatest reliance, the Heaven-Rank Battle Technique that he hadn't even used in the last battle against Xiao Yan, was almost broken by Xiao Yan in one strike at this moment. What happened next?
Xiao Yan hasn't even used his strange Fire Lotus Fighting Technique yet, and he's already capable of this level?
The moment Gu Xing extinguished the Heart Flame, Xiao Yan had already appeared nearby like a ghost. When Xiao Yan appeared, his figure had grown considerably, for he was no longer empty-handed, but had donned the Xuan Heavy Ruler!
The ruler was now wreathed in chilling crimson lotus flames, with purplish-gold light flowing within the flames, faintly coalescing into a ferocious and overwhelming phantom of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. That phantom emitted a terrifying shriek, its terrifying aura perfectly merging with Xiao Yan's own battle qi and strange fire, causing the entire Xuan Heavy Ruler to radiate an unstoppable sharpness!
"Heavenly Ruler - Shattered Abyss!"
A strange fire forms a blade, and a heavy ruler possesses a sharp edge!
The power of the Heavenly Desolation Ruler slammed down on Gu Xing's chest, whose decaying luster had faded considerably!
Snap!
A sickeningly clear sound of bones shattering rang out. Gu Xing coughed up blood, as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed mountain. His whole body shot backward like a kite with a broken string at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
This attack was launched when Gu Xing was at his weakest. His most prized Heaven-Rank Battle Technique had completely vanished, and he had reverted to his original flesh and blood form.
"Well done, brother! Gu Xing is doomed!" Lei Jingxiao shouted excitedly from the sidelines.
"Those who covet your sister-in-law will surely meet a bad end," Wei Jiangyuan said with a chuckle.
Xiao Yan stared coldly at Gu Xing. He could sense that Gu Xing had almost lost the ability to resist. If he wanted to, he could take Gu Xing's life in the next moment!
The crimson lotus flames continued to condense in his palm, and then moved according to Xiao Yan's will.
Wind-Summoning Palm!
Gu Xing tried to barely muster the strength to resist, but Xiao Yan's palm strike engulfed him entirely in terrifying flames.
When Gu Zechuan saw Xiao Yan make his final move, he couldn't hold back any longer. The Gu Clan absolutely could not afford to lose another talent like Gu Xing before the Heavenly Tomb even began!
"Stop!" At this critical moment, Gu Zechuan couldn't help but intervene!
With lightning speed, he grabbed at Gu Xing, who was already trapped by the strange fire, clearly wanting to rescue him first.
Clang——
A clear sword cry rang out almost at the same time that Gu Zechuan made his move.
A crisp, clean sword light appeared out of thin air. The light was unpretentious, yet it cleaved through all the space in Gu Zechuan's path with a single strike. The cut was perfectly clean, and the sharpness of the sword intent sent chills down one's spine.
Gu Zechuan's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. His outstretched hand was only inches away from the sword light, yet he stopped abruptly, his face turning ashen.
"Since it is a challenge from a junior, and the outcome is still undecided, Elder Gu Zechuan, it would be best to observe the battle calmly." Jiang Yunyan had quietly opened her eyes at some point, and her slender fingers were slowly moving away from the hilt of her long sword, which was as clear as autumn water.
She appeared relaxed and carefree, as if the astonishing sword strike just now had nothing to do with her.
Gu Zechuan didn't continue his attack, because just that one strike had already left a bloody gash on his finger. The Smoke and Cloud Sword, its mere appearance could shake the world; it wasn't a joke.
Jiang Yunyan made no other moves, clearly wanting the fight to continue undisturbed. The three-move agreement between Gu Xing and Xiao Yan had now truly come to an end.
