"Absolutely pathetic!!!"
Cao Wushuang never expected Gu Chen to be so weak. She had thought that he must be exceptionally strong to have defeated Kang Zuoqing and Cao Miao. Then, she snorted coldly, her whole body radiating killing intent, and prepared to step onto the stairs.
At this moment, Tang Miaomiao suddenly spoke up, saying, "Uncle Cao, please have mercy!"
Everyone was taken aback.
At a time like this, Tang Miaomiao was still speaking up for Gu Chen and begging for his forgiveness. Everyone was instantly filled with envy!
Upon hearing this, Cao Wushuang frowned, but when she turned around and saw that it was Tang Miaomiao, her brows relaxed, and she said in a slightly calmer tone, "So it's Fairy Tang. Shouldn't this person be killed?"
"Gu Chen was just confused for a moment; he didn't mean to harm anyone," Tang Miaomiao said. "Uncle Cao, you can see for yourself. He's been here for so long, and so many people have spoken rudely and mocked him, but he hasn't killed anyone. That's enough to prove he's not a truly evil person!"
"So what?" Cao Wushuang said coldly, "This boy is arrogant and disrespectful to our aristocratic families and sects. For that alone, he deserves to die."
"I hope Uncle can give me some face and spare his life..." Tang Miaomiao sighed softly, her voice lacking confidence, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Just then, a laugh accompanied by a light cough suddenly rang out, and Gu Chen slowly climbed up the high steps!
"Fairy Tang, thank you, but you didn't need to ask for my help."
Gu Chen wore a faint smile, seemingly unaffected by the knife wound he had just received!
How is that possible!
Everyone was utterly shocked to see Gu Chen climb back up!
That last strike was from the Grandmaster Realm martial artist! Gu Chen clearly looked like he was seriously injured, so how did he get up so quickly?!
Tang Miaomiao was also taken aback.
At this moment, Cao Wushuang's eyes narrowed, and she asked in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"
"Hehe, I just wanted to test whether you could hurt me." Gu Chen smiled faintly and walked down the steps.
"What did you say?" Cao Wushuang's face grew increasingly grim.
"Now it seems," Gu Chen said calmly, his expression unchanged, "That your so-called master of the Cao family is nothing special after all!"
Is that all?
He actually said that Cao Wushuang, a Grandmaster Realm -level expert, was nothing special!!!
Gu Chen's words caused almost everyone to gasp in shock! Who did Gu Chen think he was? He was lucky to escape unscathed, but the gap between the Grandmaster Realm and a martial artist his age was still enormous!
Even Fan Yingqiu might not be able to defeat Cao Wushuang in a life-or-death battle!
Gu Chen was clearly knocked away, so why is he still so arrogant?
These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd! At that moment, everyone turned to look at Cao Wushuang!
They knew that martial artists at the Grandmaster Realm Grandmaster Realm possessed the dignity befitting their status, and Cao Wushuang, as an older generation martial artist, was no exception! Faced with Gu Chen's almost provocative words, he would inevitably respond!
"Very well!" Cao Wushuang's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she coldly said, "Even Fan Yingqiu, the number one among the younger generation, wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!"
"It's his business if he doesn't dare," Gu Chen said with a faint smile. "But not only do I dare to say it, I'm also going to return that knife to you!"
Return it to you? Are you kidding me?!
Gu Chen is truly arrogant, absolutely arrogant!!!
Cao Wushuang laughed in anger, then suddenly turned to Tang Miaomiao and said, "Fairy Tang, you saw it too. This brat is courting death, so he can't blame me!"
Tang Miaomiao opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then stopped herself, and finally sighed.
She knew that every strong person had their own dignity, let alone Grandmaster Realm. Gu Chen's contempt and provocation would only bring him endless rage!
She couldn't stop it, and Sun Jiangman was even less able to stop it!
"Step back, I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you!"
Cao Wushuang roared in a muffled voice, and then her aura exploded instantly!
A strong gust of wind arose, and the fragments of wood that had just been smashed were violently sent flying!
"So strong!"
The young masters and ladies from prominent families present were startled and quickly took several steps back.
An area with a diameter of at least twenty meters was marked out and reserved for the two of them!
"After taking one of my attacks, I estimate your Inner Breath is already unstable. Now, how many more attacks can you withstand?" Cao Wushuang looked at Gu Chen arrogantly. With such a powerful aura and his own Grandmaster Realm cultivation, he had enough confidence to say this!
But Gu Chen did not answer him immediately; instead, he slowly descended the steps.
This time, he walked even slower than Cao Wushuang had just walked, and his aura, just like Cao Wushuang's, was deliberately raised gradually!
Upon reaching the spot where the wooden plank had been, Gu Chen suddenly unleashed a murderous aura that swept across the land! This frenzied aura had been building up within Gu Chen's body, and like a sharp sword, it ruthlessly shattered Cao Wushuang's aura, breaking through it instantly!
Not only that, his aura continued to rise, eventually surpassing Cao Wushuang and completely enveloping her!
How could this be?!
Cao Wushuang felt Gu Chen's overwhelming aura, which pushed him backwards slightly. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.
"I don't know how many moves I can withstand," Gu Chen said calmly. "But you won't be able to get up Starfall Cliff!"
Bang!
Gu Chen Gu Chen his right foot hard on the ground, instantly shattering the steps and creating a crater in the ground! At the same time, his body shot up, and his inner True Qi surged out wildly!
"Snort!"
Suppressing her inner horror, Cao Wushuang raised her knife with a muffled thud!
Bump!
A powerful impact erupted in the space, making everyone's eardrums ache!
After the collision, both of them were shaken and quickly retreated. However, Gu Chen only took a small half step back, but Cao Wushuang was actually shaken back five or six steps!
I was actually intimidated by a junior!
Cao Wushuang's face was filled with shame and indignation, but at this moment, Gu Chen had already pressed forward again. Left with no other choice, Cao Wushuang could only defend herself once more. Bang bang bang—
Explosions rang out incessantly, and in the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged seven or eight blows. But to everyone's surprise, it was Gu Chen who was now in complete control of the situation, while Cao Wushuang, the Grandmaster Realm they had in mind, could only passively defend herself!
Boom!
Another direct clash of energy struck, Cao Wushuang's hand gripping the dagger went numb as she was once again forced back by Gu Chen!
