"You're also at the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm?!"
A horrified thought flashed through Liu Dongyuan's mind, and he immediately screamed at Gu Chen!
But Gu Chen did not answer him. Instead, he unleashed the Dragon Scale Sword once more, attacking him with deadly force!
Liu Dongyuan could only suppress his inner trembling and fight back tenaciously once again. It has to be said that Gu Chen's sword was too evil. From his perspective, he could not see where the Dragon Scale Sword came from, but he felt the battle intent shooting towards him like lightning, aiming straight for the depths of his brow! At this moment, he changed his move without hesitation, Dragon Scale Sword slashed out from above, using almost all of his remaining strength!
Liu Dongyuan was terrified, finally understanding how terrifying Gu Chen was. This simple move had become so bizarre in the hands of the opponent. Gu Chen's sword speed might not be the fastest, and his strength might not be the strongest, but his sword was absolutely effective the moment it was drawn!
After deflecting Gu Chen's sword light, Liu Dongyuan gasped for breath, his eyes filled with horror.
The two had already exchanged dozens of blows, with Gu Chen maintaining the upper hand. Finally, the Liu Family watching from all sides stopped cheering and mocking them. The area fell silent as they watched the breathtaking battle unfold in disbelief.
Knowing he couldn't continue like this, Liu Dongyuan didn't hesitate. With his inner energy surging, a blade of light flashed out, and an extremely elegant yet extremely murderous arc of electricity ripped through the sky, enveloping Gu Chen.
"Full Moon in the Sky!"
Aside from Liu Changqing Liu Dongyuan's strike seemed far too profound and mysterious to others, because his blade wasn't aimed at Gu Chen, but rather at a void to Gu Chen's right.
At this moment, although Gu Chen's expression did not change, his heart was filled with dread. After Liu Dongyuan took the pill, his aura surged. The direction that the short sword slashed was precisely a gap in his aura, and also the path that his body had to pass through to move.
With Gu Chen's current cultivation level, he would lose the initiative as soon as he made a move!
He had no choice but to retreat!
This was the first time he had retreated since he had fought Liu Dongyuan for so long, but he was not agitated by it.
Retreating is also a skill!
Take a step back, and you'll find a vast and open sky!
Having landed a successful blow, Liu Dongyuan seemed to release the pent-up frustration he had just felt. His sword and saber attacks were ruthless, and his aura suddenly surged, making the surrounding air heavy and oppressive, like the calm before an impending storm.
The blade was so frenzied and so wild, unleashing seven attacks in an instant. With seven strange sounds of blade light colliding, Gu Chen also made his move at the same time!
Gu Chen is a cultivator. Although he has not yet used the qi manipulation techniques of cultivators and is only competing with Liu Dongyuan martial arts skills, Gu Chen has gradually warmed up his skills so far! Even though he does not understand martial arts moves and is only using ordinary "sword techniques", his movements are becoming more and more free and easy!
No matter where Liu Dongyuan's knife came from, he could easily deflect it!
Swordsmanship is the essence of a swordsman's practice. With Gu Chen's understanding as a cultivator, even using the broken Dragon Scale Sword, he faced no pressure whatsoever in this confrontation!
Gu Chen's Dragon Scale Sword is a magical artifact, and Liu Dongyuan's short sword is also no ordinary item. Therefore, with the infusion of his internal energy, its sharpness is even greater!
In an instant, with the support of internal energy, the Dragon Scale Sword burst forth with a burst of purple light. With the internal energy flowing into the Dragon Scale Sword, the blade seemed to be reborn, calmly and effortlessly deflecting Liu Dongyuan's series of attacks.
Amidst the palpable killing intent, Liu Dongyuan's eyes narrowed to almost slits, a cold glint in them as he stared intently at Gu Chen's every block. What alarmed him was not the seemingly ordinary yet exceptionally skillful techniques Gu Chen employed, but rather his effortless composure and the formidable strength revealed in his simple moves.
He doesn't seem like a young man at all, but rather like a seasoned swordsman!
Every move was perfectly timed, demonstrating an impeccable grasp of the sword's momentum, showing no weakness whatsoever!
This feeling made Liu Dongyuan frustrated!
He had taken the Purple Qi Pill; how could he let Gu Chen continue to suppress him like this!
So, Liu Dongyuan roared and unleashed three diagonal strikes with his short sword, launching an even more ferocious attack! But Gu Chen countered with his own moves, and after three moves, Liu Dongyuan suddenly felt a counter-force emanating from the opponent's sword, gradually growing stronger and slowly gaining the upper hand in the entire battle.
However, at this moment, Gu Chen's voice suddenly rang out.
"Old man, I've had enough fun, it's time to end this!"
"Um?"
Playing? He said he was playing?
What does it mean to have had enough fun?
Liu Dongyuan was fighting with all his might when he heard this, and he was both anxious and angry. But soon, he understood the meaning behind Gu Chen's words!
In an instant, the sharp blade in Gu Chen's hand flashed with a brilliant light, and the next moment, the sword light blazed brightly!
With a simple slash, Gu Chen used the techniques of cultivating qi to completely neutralize all of Gu Chen's qi with his Dragon Scale Sword!
"What kind of trick is this?"
Liu Dongyuan frustrated. He wanted to use higher-level martial arts techniques, but he could never gain the slightest advantage against Gu Chen. Sometimes, he would even pierce through Gu Chen's Dragon Scale Sword from nowhere as soon as he circulated his internal energy.
Gu Chen didn't answer, but instead struck again with his sword!
Prick!
It was another one of the simplest stabs!
Liu Dongyuan raised an internal energy barrier, but it was instantly pierced by Gu Chen's sword strike. He could only dodge awkwardly, his heart filled with suppressed urges to roar, "How can you be so strong! What kind of martial art is this? It's a high-level martial art, right?! Doesn't your True Qi ever run out? How can you store so much True Qi? How is this possible!"
In Liu Dongyuan's view, at this moment, Gu Chen's "True Qi" was flowing into the Dragon Scale Sword as if it were inexhaustible, without any sense of stagnation. Even he, who had been immersed in this battle for many years, could not do such a fighting style!
After all, True Qi is the foundation for a person to use any move. Even if Gu Chen uses ordinary martial arts techniques, it still requires a great deal of energy to fight against someone of his level!
But Gu Chen not only didn't lose anything, he actually handled it with such ease!
Faced with his shock, Gu Chen did not answer him. Instead, with a cold look, he slashed his sword at Liu Dongyuan was catching his breath!
This sword strike was light and calm, as if it had instantly dispelled the raging atmosphere just moments before, and all the noise and excitement vanished in an instant!
The transformation from extreme motion to extreme stillness was merely the result of the power of Gu Chen's sword strike!
This sword strike, accompanied by the surrounding stillness, made Liu Dongyuan like a clay statue in an instant, not daring to move an inch!
Seeing the sword blade pressed against his neck and noticing the astonishing killing intent Gu Chen was unleashing, Liu Dongyuan was terrified, his face filled with horror!
His throat tightened, and he wanted to take a step back, but Gu Chen's sword also moved forward, making it impossible for him to break free!
At that moment, he saw a tidal wave of killing intent in Gu Chen's eyes. This killing intent made him realize that he could not move again, otherwise, only death awaited him!
"How could you...?"
Liu Dongyuan was terrified and exclaimed, "How can he be so strong!"
