The King, assisted by numerous cultivators, saw his power surge violently. Ye Chu had already been fighting until he was spitting blood, and at this stage, the outcome seemed almost certain. Everyone was waiting for his defeat.
Nuo Ran also sighed, thinking that he was a terrifyingly outstanding figure. Yet even so, he would be crippled on the Path of Heavenly Prodigies today. The path had buried the remains of too many geniuses, and the bones of outstanding figures lay among them as well.
However, it was extremely rare for such an outstanding figure to fall in the First City. Likewise, no one had ever been so arrogant there.
Recalling Ye Chu’s earlier stance, Nuo Ran could not help but fall silent. That domineering aura was peerless.
“End it yourself!” Gu Xing stared at Ye Chu. His momentum erupted violently, vast as thunder, surging towards the clouds and pressing down upon Ye Chu. The compressed air hissed and crackled.
It was a terrifying force, enough to make even Ye Chu’s expression grave. He was fighting with his blood boiling at this moment, and while he could indeed battle an ordinary King, he lacked confidence against a King of Gu Xing’s calibre. Moreover, the opponent had the support of numerous cultivators.
“There have only ever been outstanding figures who died in battle. I have never heard of one who ended his own life!” Ye Chu laughed loudly. His momentum still surged like snow, and waves of power continuously vibrated outwards. He clearly intended to withstand them head on.
“I told you long ago, even a dragon must coil itself here!” Yu Jin could not tolerate Ye Chu’s arrogance and roared. Waves of power erupted, surging alongside the energy of the numerous cultivators. The combined force stirred up an endless hurricane.
“Then I shall be the dragon that crosses the river!” Ye Chu shouted. His body shot out explosively, taking the initiative to strike Yu Jin and the others. His attack was supremely domineering. The profound art of plundering coiled around his entire body. The spiritual energy in the void was frantically drained away. Terrifying power continuously blasted outwards, striking a cultivator. The man spat blood, crashed onto the ground, sank into a large crater, and was buried alive within it.
“You seek death!” Seeing that Ye Chu actually dared to strike first, Yu Jin and the others roared, growing even more frenzied. They drove the power in their bodies to its absolute limit. Fierce beasts howled, their energies intertwining to stir up countless waves of wind.
Ye Chu charged into the fray, attacking with overwhelming dominance. He grew fiercer with every strike. His entire figure transformed into a sharp sword. Wherever he passed, sword light covered everything, leaving cultivator after cultivator spitting blood.
Although Yu Jin and the others felt a chill in their hearts, seeing Gu Xing lunge forward, they also resisted Ye Chu with all their might.
Having fought until this moment, all the hot blood in Ye Chu’s body was burning. His battle intent reached for the heavens. His fighting drove his eyes blood red. His intent had gone mad. His entire being seemed ready to transform into pure intent itself, with his fighting spirit soaring to the skies!
“I will kill you right now!”
Seeing Ye Chu making numerous cultivators spit blood, Gu Xing roared. His fingers tapped the air, and a massive star appeared in the void. The star erupted with blinding radiance, blocking out even the light of the blazing sun. Sky piercing power surged violently, directly shredding the void.
This power far exceeded Gu Xing’s previous strongest attacks. It was monstrous like a surging tide. Gu Xing trembled, and terrifying ripples erupted across the space.
Gu Xing **, like a planetary **, descended with dazzling radiance. Its flying speed was unbelievable, carrying the force to crush everything in its path.
Yu Jin and the others coordinated with Gu Xing, each driving their strongest power. Their intent patterns intertwined, transforming into a ferocious and savage beast with bared fangs and claws.
Ye Chu would have found it extremely difficult to withstand even one of these attacks. Yet with both striking him simultaneously, he had not even a chance to flee. He could only meet them head on.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jingyun’s expression changed. She waited for Ye Chu to use a secret technique to reach the King realm. Only then could he possibly resist.
However, to Ye Jingyun’s surprise, Ye Chu did not use a secret technique. Instead, he coldly stared at the two rapidly approaching attacks, his momentum growing even more turbulent.
“Ye Chu! Hurry and use your secret technique!” Ye Jingyun’s face paled as she shouted at him. If he did not use it now, the only result awaiting him would be being blasted into bone fragments.
Yet what Ye Jingyun found hardest to accept was that Ye Chu actually refused to use a secret technique. Instead, he employed Instant Wind and charged forward to meet the attacks.
Ye Chu’s entire figure transformed into a sword. His body was shrouded in sword light as he charged straight towards Gu Xing’s **.
“You are seeking death!” Gu Xing sneered. No matter how strong Ye Chu was, he would surely perish under these two attacks.
Just as the two attacks were about to strike Ye Chu’s vital points and completely obliterate him, his intent suddenly condensed. All the intent in his body gathered into a single point. Ye Chu’s entire momentum vanished. A single drop of blood emerged on his finger, and all his intent merged into it.
“Intent Sword!”
As Ye Chu roared, all the power in his body poured into his finger. Every strand of intent flowed into that single drop of blood. There was intent of sorrow and hardship, intent of sharpness, intent of cutting edge, intent of gentleness and ferocity…
Countless strands of intent continuously erupted and sank into the blood. Using the blood as a medium, they fused perfectly together, forming an intent sword. It pierced through the clouds, moving like purple qi travelling westward. Its speed was so swift it made one’s scalp tingle.
Ye Chu pointed his finger. There was no terrifying pressure. His originally fearsome aura had completely vanished. His entire being emitted not a single wisp of breath. Before him, there was only a streak of light shooting forward.
The speed of this light was extremely fast. It was so rapid that no one could comprehend it, resembling a bolt of lightning.
This streak of light collided with Gu Xing’s **. It pierced straight through it. There was no terrifying sound of collision. Instead, there was an abnormal silence. This silence was deathly, creating an extremely oppressive feeling.
After Ye Chu’s finger pierced through Gu Xing’s **, it collided with the combined attacks surging from Yu Jin and the others. The result was identical. It pierced straight through, shooting into the sky and clouds, striking several cultivators directly. It only slowly vanished after drilling several blood holes through them.
This scene unfolded in a split second. It was so fast that no one had time to react. The cultivators who had been pierced could not help but look down at their chests. Staring at the holes, they felt not a trace of pain.
It was simply too fast. It was so swift that they could not react at all.
“Bang…”
While everyone was still stunned, the pierced Gu Xing ** suddenly collapsed and exploded. A terrifying shockwave erupted, shaking all directions and making everyone’s scalp tingle.
After this power detonated, the surging force from Yu Jin and the others also exploded. Another shockwave erupted, causing the ground to collapse.
Nuo Ran watched this scene from afar. Seeing the shockwave threatening to tear through space, her heart was shaken. She stared blankly at the several cultivators slowly falling, their vitality extinguished. A chill surged through her entire body, rushing to her mind as if she had stepped into an ice cellar.
“How is this possible?” Nuo Ran saw that the last person pierced by that streak of light was Gu Xing. At this moment, Gu Xing stared with wide eyes, fixing his gaze directly on the blood at his chest.
