Chapter 118: Battle Against Jiang Tianxin
Gu Fan looked at the other party pointing at him, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Me?"
At this moment, Jiang Tianxin clicked his tongue.
"Jiang Jian, you’ve grown quite bold, huh? You dare snatch my prey?"
Jiang Jian looked somewhat afraid upon hearing Jiang Tianxin speak.
"Jiang Tianxin, it’s not like Gu Fan has been forcibly assigned to you. I’m also a disciple of Holy Son Peak."
"You two talk too much."
Gu Fan stood up and slowly walked toward the stage.
"No rush. Come to your death one at a time. If that's too hard, you can come together. I don’t mind."
Being mocked like this, Jiang Jian's face turned dark.
"Don’t get too cocky, Gu Fan. As far as I know, you’ve only been in the sect for less than a month, right? Sometimes it’s good to learn from the disciples of the other eight peaks!"
Jiang Tianxin simply smiled without responding.
To him, verbal arguments meant little. A proper beating on stage would be enough.
"Enough. You people have just been flattered too much. Learn from the other eight peaks? Learn what? To grovel? To be obsequious?"
With that one sentence, Gu Fan instantly enraged the disciples of the other eight peaks.
"How dare you, Gu Fan? What do you mean by that?"
"We are respecting the Holy Son, and you’re maligning us!"
"Outrageous! You actually insulted the Eight Peaks!"
For a moment, the discussions rose and fell throughout the crowd.
Gu Fan laughed heartily, then leapt onto the stage. His aura erupted suddenly, causing even the ground to seem to tremble!
"Why are you barking like dogs? If you’re not convinced, you’ll have your chance later."
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Jian.
"Gu Fan of Overlord Peak!"
Jiang Jian sneered coldly:
"Holy Son Peak, Jiang..."
But before he could finish speaking, Gu Fan’s figure moved and appeared beside him in an instant, delivering a palm strike!
Jiang Jian didn’t even have time to react before the slap landed squarely on his face.
His teeth flew out on the spot, and his nose collapsed inward. With a terrifying expression, he spat blood and was sent flying backward.
"Despicable! You ambushed me without honor!"
Gu Fan followed up with another punch.
"Heh, trying to mess with me? You better take care of yourself!"
In the next moment, his fist smashed through the ribs of Jiang Jian’s chest, directly sending him flying off the stage.
The whole arena fell silent.
A seventh-layer late-stage Primordial Yang Realm cultivator—defeated in two moves!
Was this the strength of Gu Fan?
Below the stage, even Jiang Tianxin’s expression grew serious.
These two strikes appeared to rely purely on brute force, but the strength and technique involved in sending someone flying couldn’t be achieved through mere cultivation.
Only through constant combat could such mastery be obtained.
Gu Fan’s strength indeed deserved his full attention. No wonder even that True Yang Realm trash from Sumeru Peak couldn’t take him down!
At this moment, Gu Fan turned his head and looked at Jiang Tianxin.
"Come up. Don’t waste time."
"Heh, looks like you’re really confident, huh?"
Jiang Tianxin moved and appeared on the stage.
With a single step forward, his entire body’s blood and energy surged upward like a sea storming the heavens.
Jiang Tianxin seemed like a youthful Immortal King. As he stepped out, the stirred excitement caused everyone’s blood and energy to ripple violently.
"Gu Fan, I know you haven’t used your full strength yet. Come at me with everything. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t get another chance."
Gu Fan sneered and also stepped forward.
Boom!!
A pitch-black Killing Aura shot into the sky, directly dyeing half the sky over Holy Son Peak into a dark gray!
The soul-shaking killing intent stunned the entire scene.
"Dammit, just how many people has he killed with those hands!"
"This guy’s Killing Aura is as black as ink. I once saw a Demonic Cultivator who had slain tens of thousands of lives, and even he didn’t have such a dense Killing Aura!"
"It’s already so thick it’s nearly tangible—he’s a veritable killing star!"
"This battle between these two... now that’s a show worth watching."
On the stage, Jiang Tianxin grinned and said, "That’s more like it. Otherwise, I’d be really disappointed!"
As he spoke, he floated in midair, no longer carrying the carefree demeanor from before, his expression turning solemn.
"Gu Fan, take this!"
Immediately, boundless Divine Radiance erupted from his body.
Excitement flickered in Gu Fan’s eyes.
With a gesture of both hands, a jade-green finger materialized and blasted toward his opponent!
This technique caused the disciples from Sumeru Peak below the stage to exclaim in disbelief.
"Impossible! That’s Sumeru Peak’s combat technique, Desolate Wasteland Finger!"
"How could he have learned it? That’s impossible!"
At this moment, someone from the side noticed the key point.
"This seems... a bit different from your Western Sumeru Peak’s Desolate Wasteland Finger. Looks more like an imitation technique!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. That was even more inconceivable.
Imitating a combat technique required extremely powerful talent. This suggestion sounded even more absurd.
While discussions ran wild, Gu Fan and Jiang Tianxin had already started trading blows rapidly.
Jiang Tianxin, worthy of being Holy Son Peak’s strongest third-generation disciple, brought immense pressure to Gu Fan the moment they clashed.
Though not enough to defeat him, it was already sufficient to make Gu Fan take him seriously.
Such an opponent was truly rare among his peers.
A radiance shrouded Gu Fan’s entire body, with a phantom emerging behind him.
Each strike he launched carried the added power of the phantom, making his offensive even fiercer.
"Not bad, not bad! Hahaha! Gu Fan, you’re really something—able to exchange this many moves with me!"
Gu Fan utilized Peaceful Dispersal Decision, continuously evolving the combat techniques he had seen, his tactics ever-shifting and unpredictable.
It had to be said—this technique was indeed formidable.
It only reaffirmed his belief that this was no ordinary battle technique!
"Fiendish Desire Overwhelms the Sky!"
Gu Fan swung both hands, unleashing waves of sword qi filled with Killing Aura. The force was nearly enough to tear the very fabric of space!
This move was a recreated simulation of Lin Yi’s swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, when combined with his Killing Aura, its power was truly formidable!
As expected, a sword cultivator’s attack was always top-tier!
At that moment, Jiang Tianxin avoided the sword qi and pressed inward, forcing his way into Gu Fan’s close range.
Gu Fan was shocked—this was the first time someone had proactively chosen to engage him in hand-to-hand combat.
One had to know, his greatest strength at present was precisely close combat.
Though he avoided using Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena to keep it unrecognizable to others,
the strength and physique cultivated through it remained unchanged. If it came down to just physical combat, he would even dare to take on Fang Xue!
"You want to fight me with brute strength? Are you looking to die?"
Gu Fan grinned widely.
This scene made Jiang Tianxin equally excited—his physical strength was formidable too!
And so, in the next instant, the fists of these two who were supremely confident in their bodies collided fiercely.
Boom! Boom!
Unlike clashes of techniques, the collision of pure physical strength didn’t create dazzling lights.
Instead, it released visible shockwaves one after another!
The terrifying force caused the ground to crack continuously.
Tear-like fissures spread across the surface!
In an instant, the stage beneath their feet crumbled into dust!
Both Gu Fan and Jiang Tianxin had excited looks on their faces—meeting a worthy opponent in body strength was truly rare!
They faced off like this, neither yielding an inch. Their rapid punches formed afterimages between them.
The sound of flesh colliding rang like thunder.
Even the battles on the surrounding arenas had all come to a halt.
Everyone turned their eyes toward the vanished Stage Two, watching the duel between the two strongest figures of the Ten Peaks!
