Gu Lingqi landed in the Martial Arts Arena and stood opposite Lin Bai, a trace of coldness appearing on his face.
All the Gu family warriors present looked at Gu Lingqi with proud smiles. But whenever they looked at Lin Bai, cruel, merciless smiles crept across their faces.
"Daring to challenge a disciple of the Gu family? You're really courting death!"
"Looks like the warriors of the Southern Courtyard are getting more and more arrogant!"
"Gu Lingqi, kill him!"
The Gu family disciples sneered one after another.
Lin Bai said coldly, "I came here to issue a challenge today. Beneath the Battle Standard Banner, we will determine both victory and defeat—and life and death!"
Gu Lingqi said coldly, "Unfortunately, the one who will die today isn't me. It's you!"
"Lin Bai, surrender your life."
The instant Gu Lingqi finished speaking, a powerful surge of energy condensed around him. Waves of black mist roiled outward from his body, transforming into a pair of enormous black palms.
This was one of the Gu family's ultimate techniques: Demonic Hand World-Devastating Kill!
Lin Bai had already known how extraordinary the power of this technique was from their time in the Celestial Abode Realm.
Yet now that he was facing it again, Lin Bai actually sensed that Gu Lingqi's power had grown stronger.
"Your cultivation technique seems to have grown stronger. Is this the trump card you believe can defeat me?" Lin Bai watched the two enormous palms surge toward him, the corner of his lips curling into a cold smile.
With the Demon Sword in hand, a heaven-shaking surge of power spread outward.
"Heh heh, if you can't even withstand this strike of mine, then you don't have the qualifications to see my trump card!" Gu Lingqi threw his head back and laughed. "Die!"
