"You thought you still had a chance, so I'll wake you up to the gap between us."
Gu Sheng let out a cold snort. He activated Flame Force True Power and suddenly punched forward. A surging torrent of flames followed, pouring toward the green light that had flashed over, completely engulfing it in a sea of fire.
A green shadow broke through the flames and arrived before Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng's right fist struck his hand blade head-on. The Alliance Master of Heaven and Earth instantly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body shook violently, and his Xiao Yao Force collapsed and scattered like a breached dike and crumbling shore. His body stiffened, no longer obeying him.
The earth essence he had drawn from the ground, which should have been nearly inexhaustible, melted away without a trace like snow beneath the spring sun. Not a shred remained inside his body. The green glow covering his body faded, and his joints went limp from weakness. His legs buckled, and he fell to his knees before Gu Sheng.
"Pff..."
The Alliance Master of Heaven and Earth bent over and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood. It seeped from the edge of his golden mask and dripped onto the ground. He was furious, but even more horrified. Although Gu Sheng's punch had forced him to his knees in utter humiliation, he truly had not expected the gap between them to be so enormous.
"Heh! Alliance Master, why go to such lengths to show me respect? If you realize your mistake, you can still change. I'm only afraid you'll keep making mistake after mistake."
Gu Sheng patted the Alliance Master of Heaven and Earth on the shoulder and removed the golden mask from his face with one hand.
