At this moment, Chen Yushan was dressed in rags, his hair disheveled, and there was no trace of the high-spirited demeanor he had just displayed. His face was covered in blood, whether his own or that of his opponent, and he was filled with a sense of madness.
He held his longsword, aimed it in a certain direction below, and charged forward once more!
At the same time, another figure, seemingly buried in the ruins, also rose up. Gu Chen was expressionless, his body straight, like a blood-stained banner fluttering in the desert!
It's not over yet!
Gu Chen and Chen Yushan were evenly matched in their battle just now, and Chen Yushan is a martial artist at the Revolving Illumination Realm! For most martial artists, the Revolving Illumination Realm is an unattainable level!
But Gu Chen, a mere boy not even twenty years old, is actually this powerful!
A commotion erupted around them. Unbeknownst to them, they had been drawn in by Gu Chen's talent and felt a profound sense of awe!
On the sidelines, Gu Changfeng, who was about to smile after seeing Chen Yushan get up again, now had his smile freeze on his face.
His hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked, and his face was somber. His eyes were devoid of any emotion, and only one person's image flickered in them— Gu Chen!
This kid gave him a vague sense of despair, a feeling that even surpassed his feelings towards Gu Beichi earlier!
Having spent so many years navigating the martial arts world of Shangjing, he never imagined that any young man could achieve such a level!
The swordsmanship that originally belonged to the Chen Family was now being performed with even greater skill by Gu Chen than Chen Yushan, who had painstakingly studied it for over a decade! With his understanding of sword techniques and martial arts, Gu Chen had cleverly made up for the difference in their cultivation levels!
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth. At this moment, he involuntarily released a killing intent that filled almost every inch of his body, so suppressed that it seemed like it might explode at any moment!
He now deeply regrets letting Gu Beichi and his son go six months ago. Why didn't he send someone to kill them in Zhou City? Now he's left such a huge threat to the Gu Family!
How did you know the last three moves?!
Chen Yushan, his face covered in blood, now had a chilling glint in his eyes. After exchanging blows with Gu Chen, he was panting heavily, and no one noticed that his legs were trembling.
Chen Yushan had something he didn't say: why did your swordplay look more authentic than mine? They were both using the Nirvana Sword Technique, but Chen Yushan had practiced it for over ten years.
How old is Gu Chen? How come his understanding and familiarity with just one sword move surpasses his by so much?
In the exchange of sword techniques just now, starting from the penultimate move, he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position!
"Was this sword technique created by your Chen Family? Why can't others learn it?"
Gu Chen was also slightly injured at this moment. After all, he was not as good as Chen Yushan in terms of True Qi. If Chen Yushan was injured by six points, he would be injured by five points, not much less.
Faced with Chen Yushan's hysterical roar, Gu Chen's face remained cold and stern as he said, "Or do you mean I have to report to your Chen Family after I've learned it?"
Chen Yushan had just done just that, confidently believing that Gu Chen had no way to deal with the last three moves of the Nirvana Sword Technique. Now, Gu Chen's words were like a huge, loud slap in the face.
His voice faltered, and Chen Yushan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"You've finished, now it's my turn!" Gu Chen soared into the air, his body transforming into a fleeting shadow. Above the ruins, he and his longsword seemed to merge into one under the afterglow of the setting sun. As he moved, his sword was drawn, a whirlwind of wind, fire, mountains, and forests!
The fact that his swordsmanship, which he had studied for more than ten years, was no match for a young man in his twenties was too much of a blow for Chen Yushan. He was filled with disbelief, doubt, repression, and resentment!
He was scheming against Gu Chen, but in the end he suffered a great loss himself. How could he not be angry about such an outcome?
This season is inherently hot and humid. In the past, even with a breeze, the heatwave would not be contained. But today, at the Gu Family mansion, there was no heat at all, only endless chill.
"I had no grudge against your Chen Family, but since you insist on coming to be buried with us, you can't blame me!"
Gu Chen soared into the air, his long sword striking out amidst Chen Yushan's unwilling expression!
Everyone's eyes narrowed. Gu Chen had been passively defending the entire time, but now, his first attack was so unremarkable?
Yes, Gu Chen's swordsmanship is simple and ordinary, but unless one is in the thick of it, who can truly understand the subtlety of his sword strikes?
Ordinary martial arts techniques!
But it contains the understanding and techniques of cultivators!
Right under the sword's edge, Chen Yushan couldn't quite grasp the subtlety of this strike!
Gu Chen's sword strike seemed to come from outer space, like a meteorite!
It may seem like a reckless and impulsive approach, but it has clearly achieved the goal of simplifying complexity!
Not only that, the True Qi spread out in a fan shape, sealing off the space between the two of them inch by inch.
What may seem like ordinary, basic sword moves actually contain profound and mysterious principles.
Those outside the arena couldn't perceive this feeling, but Chen Yushan could deeply sense it. He knew very well how fast his sword was, and how fast the Nirvana Sword Technique was! Yet, he always felt as if dozens of layers of extremely restrictive air walls had appeared in the void, gradually eroding his sword speed!
The moment he prepared to draw his sword and confront Gu Chen, the pressure suddenly intensified and surged even more fiercely! All around him, it was as if countless feelings of loneliness were slowly eroding his heart.
In shock, Chen Yushan could only muster his strength once more. His sword suddenly thrust forward, and with a loud "bang," Gu Chen's longsword came from an unpredictable angle, emerging from a crack in the surface and striking his sword precisely.
A sudden gust of wind arose, and a wave of air swept through, making those watching the battle feel suffocated. The two swords clashed and separated in an instant, yet sparks flew like lightning!
How could Gu Chen's sword be this fast!
That's absolutely impossible!
Chen Yushan felt a numbness in his arm and staggered back several steps. He looked up in utter shock. To be honest, when he learned that Gu Chen had arrived with such imposing presence, he had already overestimated this junior. But he never expected that Gu Chen would still exceed his expectations! He could even unleash a stronger True Qi than him. This True Qi, combined with his understanding of martial arts and the exquisiteness of his swordsmanship, gave him absolutely no chance!
Gu Chen's eyes were icy. He paused only slightly before unleashing his lone sword once again, like a raging storm.
Although Gu Chen deliberately suppressed his cultivation level, he didn't want to give Chen Yushan any chance to breathe, because being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself! When dealing with an enemy, you have to strike while they're weak!
Chen Yushan was filled with shock, like a tidal wave. He finally realized that Gu Chen's sword technique was so powerful not because his sword was faster or more ferocious, but because he had mastered his sword technique and seen through his weakness!
As an imitator, Gu Chen was several times, no, dozens or hundreds of times, better than the real Shen Peng!
Chen Yushan's state of mind was trembling violently, his martial will was gradually becoming unstable, and he felt an unsuppressed feeling that he could not express, which was extremely painful and indescribable.
How is that possible!
He's just a teenager!
Beneath Gu Chen's longsword, the cold light revealed Chen Yushan's terrified face. The two had only exchanged ten blows, and although every move was a life-or-death struggle, this defeat came too quickly and too fiercely; he never expected it!
With this sword falling, he will surely die!
Everyone held their breath. Although they couldn't see the subtlety of Gu Chen's sword moves, they could see Chen Yushan's despair and predicament. At this moment, Gu Chen had gained an absolute advantage and even had a chance to kill him!
Seeing this, Gu Changfeng's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer hold back!
A burst of energy shot out from his hand, instantly striking Gu Chen in the courtyard!
The sword strike had already arrived, and although Gu Chen sensed the danger, he showed no intention of sheathing his sword!
The longsword in his hand, without the slightest pause, hurtled forward!
puff--
Snap--
Two different sounds rang out at the same time. One of them was Gu Chen's sword blade slashing at Chen Yushan's body, the sound of flesh being sliced was heard, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The other attack was extremely close; Zhao Bo's incoming energy struck Gu Changfeng's energy, instantly dissolving it into nothingness!
"Ah!!!!!!"
Then, Chen Yushan Gu Chen Yushan's forehead with a single sword strike, and as blood splattered everywhere, a heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the courtyard!
Chen Yushan, die!
