Because his True Qi was somewhat depleted, Gu Beichi stopped using the sword techniques he had just employed. Instead, he slowly drew his longsword and, facing Gu Changfeng's murderous gaze, fearlessly met his attack. "Gu Changfeng, today's battle will not only determine who is superior, but also who lives and dies!"
"Bring it on!!"
It not only distinguishes the superior from the inferior, but also decides life and death!
Gu Beichi's roar caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
Just now, Gu Changfeng was forced back several steps by Gu Beichi's finger, which made many martial artists present look incredulous. Now, when they saw the long sword in Gu Beichi's hand, they felt even more incredulous.
When Gu Beichi faced the encirclement of elders like Gu Zuo and Gu Kang, he declared that Gu Beichi was unworthy to wield a sword. Was this not mere arrogance and presumption, but the truth?
Gu Beichi only drew his longsword when facing Gu Changfeng!
In other words, Gu Changfeng is the one worthy of him wielding the sword!
At this moment, upon witnessing this scene, both the Gu Family and the guests present were utterly shocked. What had happened to Gu Beichi during his six months away from Shangjing capital that made him so powerful?
From a useless person, he actually became Grandmaster- like figure!
Moreover, he has now come to the Gu Family alone, not only crippling Qin Yue and her brother, but also establishing his authority by defeating Gu Changfeng with a single finger. It's simply outrageous!
At this moment, even though Gu Beichi and Gu Changfeng have not yet fully clashed, Gu Changfeng auras are enough to make them equals!
Gu Changfeng's eyebrows twitched, then he laughed in exasperation, saying, "Well done, Gu Beichi! Very well, very well indeed!"
Gu Changfeng was so enraged that he spoke recklessly, uttering five "good"s in one sentence, clearly indicating his extreme anger.
He could clearly sense that Gu Beichi was already running out of strength, yet at this moment he still dared to be so arrogant, simply showing no regard for him!
"Go to hell!"
As he spoke, Gu Changfeng unleashed a powerful attack!
A surging shockwave, accompanied by Gu Changfeng's fury, arrived in an instant!
Gu Beichi frowned, then raised his longsword and swung it fiercely at Gu Changfeng.
Puff!
A sound like tearing silk echoed through the air as the two people's energy cleaved in two in mid-air, followed by a loud bang before vanishing without a trace.
However, neither of them gained the upper hand in this clash. It was obvious to anyone with eyes that Gu Beichi's steps were trembling and even the sword in his hand was shaking slightly.
"Master, he's dying!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Kang immediately roared.
How could Gu Changfeng not know? He roared and seized the opportunity to launch another wave of energy towards Gu Beichi!
No, not just one, but three!
He unleashed three frantic palm strikes!
"Gu Beichi, these are the Gu Clan's Three Ultimate Techniques techniques of the Gu Family, which only the family head can cultivate!"
"Prepare to die!"
With a loud roar, his killing intent and energy seemed to penetrate everywhere, not only forcing Gu Beichi into every inch of space, but also compressing all the directions he could escape!
He's been Grandmaster for several years, after all!
In terms of experience and foundation alone, Gu Beichi, who has just reached the Grandmaster Realm, is far superior!
At this moment, Gu Beichi had only one option: to confront them head-on!
And that's exactly what Gu Beichi did!
He gathered his inner True Qi, brandished his longsword, and burst forth amidst the shockwave, charging towards Gu Changfeng!
His longsword was in front of him, as if it had torn open a gash!
hiss--
The sound of tearing eardrums echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Overestimating yourself!" Gu Changfeng smiled contemptuously. Gu Beichi's True Qi in his dantian was almost depleted, making it insufficient for him to resist the Gu Clan's Three Ultimate Techniques!
At most, it can only withstand two attacks!
Really!
After Gu Beichi's sword cut through two, the third one arrived as expected, surging in!
It Gu Beichi squarely on the left shoulder!
Unable to withstand the force, Gu Beichi's body fell heavily several meters away like a kite with a broken string.
"The patriarch is mighty!"
Upon seeing Gu Beichi's defeat, a brief silence was followed by a burst of enthusiastic shouts.
"Gu Beichi, your talent is indeed greater than mine, but so what?"
Gu Changfeng ignored all that, taking a step forward to stand in front of Gu Beichi, locking onto him with his aura, and said, "This world isn't about talent, it's about brains!"
Gu Beichi raised his head, trying to recover his True Qi, but Gu Changfeng struck him with another palm strike as he spoke.
Puff!
Gu Beichi spat out blood and rolled several times on the ground.
"Want to come again?" Gu Changfeng sneered repeatedly, saying, "Gu Beichi, I really overestimated you, you brute. Since you dare to the Gu Family and cause trouble, especially at my birthday banquet, then so be it! I'll show the world how I clean house!"
Then another palm strike landed hard on Gu Beichi's right shoulder.
Gu Beichi felt as if his bones were falling apart, constantly tormented by Gu Changfeng.
"Do you submit or not?" Gu Changfeng looked at Gu Beichi and said, "If you surrender and admit your mistakes now, I might give you a proper burial!"
"Dream on!" Gu Beichi barely managed to raise his head, spat at Gu Changfeng, and said, "If you want me to submit, you might as well kill me!"
"Stubborn fool!" Gu Changfeng grinned maliciously and said, "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gu Changfeng had already decided to kill him. Seeing that Gu Beichi had lost all ability to resist, he was ready to strike!
He killed his own younger brother with his own hands!
At this moment, even Gu Beichi's eyes were filled with intense despair and a sense of death!
But just as his large hand was about to strike, a gust of wind came!
"Bang!"
It struck Gu Changfeng's raised palm!
"Such powerful energy!"
Gu Changfeng's body jolted, and he took two or three steps back before regaining his footing. He then looked towards the direction of the mansion's gate with surprise and uncertainty. There, he saw an old man slowly approaching.
The old man's steps were slow, but it was precisely this slow pace that brought immense pressure to others.
"Who are you?" Gu Changfeng's eyes narrowed.
Zhao Bo ignored him and went straight into the courtyard. He suddenly quickened his pace, leaping twice to reach Gu Beichi. He then helped Gu Beichi up and asked, "Master... are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Gu Beichi gave a bitter laugh, blood streaming down his face, and said, "Senior Zhao, I've disappointed you!"
"You've done very well." Zhao Bo's lips twitched slightly as he said, "If Gu Changfeng hadn't taken advantage of you being surrounded to launch a sneak attack, you wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."
"A loss is a loss!" Gu Beichi laughed bitterly, saying, "I was too arrogant! Luckily, Gu Chen didn't come with me today, or he would have been in danger."
Zhao Bo raised an eyebrow and said, "You should rest for a bit; leave the rest to me."
