NOVEL WEB Ch. 119
Chapter 119: Defeated!
Jiang Tianxin appeared deranged, his eyes filled with madness, laughing maniacally.
"Not bad, not bad! This is the first time someone dared to fight me with just their physical body. I acknowledge your strength!"
"Don’t think too highly of yourself!"
Gu Fan let out a long howl.
"Break for me!"
Then, black Killing Aura surged wildly around him, like countless black serpents drilling into Gu Fan’s body.
"Refined Fiend Body Art! Fully unleashed!"
Buzz!
Gu Fan exploded with full force, his fist smashing down like a meteor.
Jiang Tianxin was caught off guard by the sudden outburst.
His expression changed dramatically, disbelief in his voice.
"Impossible! His physical strength is still increasing?!"
Seeing that the punch was blocked, Gu Fan immediately followed up, continuing his assault.
"I told you not to take yourself so seriously. Compete with me in physical strength? You're asking for death!"
Jiang Tianxin was forced to retreat repeatedly by the sudden surge in power.
Yet he still resisted with all his might, unwilling to be easily defeated by Gu Fan in the field of physical strength!
As Gu Fan fought more fiercely with each move, his fists shone like dazzling suns, relentlessly raining down without giving his opponent a moment to breathe!
Finally, after taking dozens of punches head-on, Jiang Tianxin was sent flying with a single blow, coughing up blood!
Gu Fan had no intention of giving him a chance, instantly closing in, both fists covered in divine radiance ready to strike down.
Just then, a disturbing fluctuation suddenly emerged from Jiang Tianxin's body.
Gu Fan's expression changed. He immediately threw a punch into the air, forcibly shifting his position.
At the same moment, a smile curled at the corner of Jiang Tianxin’s lips.
"Heavenly Silkworm Eye!"
A purple rune appeared at his brow, shaped like an eye.
Then, a deep purple beam shot out! It struck Gu Fan’s robe in an instant.
Gu Fan was secretly startled. Had he not reacted quickly, that beam would’ve hit him square in the chest.
The targeted robe was actually completely obliterated!
"What a pity. As expected, it wasn’t that easy to land a hit."
Jiang Tianxin smiled and sighed, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"How was it? Not bad for a battle technique from Holy Son Peak, right?"
Gu Fan lightly brushed his robe and curled his lips.
"Not bad. Let’s continue!"
With that, Gu Fan lunged forward!
Jiang Tianxin also smiled and said, "Indeed, I’m no match for you in physical combat. But from here on, I won’t hold back!"
The two clashed once more, but this time Jiang Tianxin refrained from close-quarters combat, unleashing all his techniques.
Various divine lights from his spells danced around, trying to settle the match through battle techniques.
He had already noticed that, besides that strange ability to imitate others’ techniques, Gu Fan was inferior in battle arts and hadn’t even used any of the ultimate skills from Overlord Peak.
This was his key to defeating Gu Fan.
Gu Fan instantly saw through his opponent’s intentions. In truth, it was only shortly before arriving at the Upper Realm that he began focusing on cultivating battle techniques.
The techniques of the Heavenly Evil Sect in the Lower Realm naturally couldn't compare to those of the Ten Peaks.
If not for the special mimicking ability of Peaceful Dispersal Decision, his combat options would be even more limited.
And as for the Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena techniques, he dared not use them lightly.
According to Daoist Kuishan, even though the Four Ultimate Combat Techniques were well known, there were too many people from the Brahma God Sect. If someone recognized it, things could get troublesome.
He still understood the principle of not flaunting wealth.
The battle between the two remained evenly matched, with spiritual power continuously depleting from their bodies.
Just as Gu Fan contemplated whether to unleash tenfold strength to finish it, the root bone within his body that had undergone tempering suddenly began to emit a faint glow.
Then, a Black Lotus appeared around his lower abdomen’s secondary Qi Sea, releasing a continuous stream of spiritual power!
This was?! Feedback from the main body of the Evil Lotus from the Apocalypse World?
Gu Fan’s heart leapt with joy. He hadn't expected that after the tempering, the Root Bone fused with the Black Lotus Phantom could connect the two worlds and transmit spiritual power in real time?!
In an instant, he fully recovered to peak condition.
On the other side, Jiang Tianxin became increasingly shocked as the fight went on. Why did Gu Fan seem like a raging bull?
Not only was his spiritual power showing no signs of depletion, but his strength was increasing as the battle continued!
In contrast, his own spiritual power was gradually being exhausted. The longer it dragged on, the worse his situation would become!
With this in mind, Jiang Tianxin gritted his teeth, preparing to find a suitable moment to use another ultimate move!
Unfortunately, Gu Fan was on guard for this. His figure flickered constantly, elusive and unpredictable, giving Jiang Tianxin no chance at all.
Finally, after exchanging dozens more moves, Gu Fan landed a copied version of the Desolate Wasteland Finger squarely on Jiang Tianxin’s shoulder.
Jiang Tianxin was sent flying by the blow.
Gu Fan instantly closed in, landing a kick to his abdomen, followed by a punch.
Jiang Tianxin coughed up a large mouthful of blood on the spot, his aura immediately withering.
Gu Fan laughed heartily.
"That’s it? I haven’t even gone all out yet, and you’re already spent? That was way too short!"
Jiang Tianxin, now stripped of all his earlier sharpness, gasped harshly, eyes reddened with unwillingness.
"My strength is not beneath yours..."
"Yeah, yeah, it’s just that the time was a bit short, right? All you male disciples from Holy Son Peak have this little issue, huh?"
These words, any man would find intolerable—especially these young cultivators, many of whom hadn’t even found a Dao Companion yet.
If Gu Fan’s words spread, how could they ever show their faces again?
Jiang Tianxin, burning with rage, tried to stand and continue, but Gu Fan didn’t let up in the slightest, stepping on him and pinning him beneath his foot.
"If you’ve lost, then lie on the ground obediently. Otherwise, I won’t be so polite!"
With that, he increased the pressure under his foot. A cracking sound followed.
Jiang Tianxin let out a muffled groan—his arm had been broken underfoot!
Gu Fan then stomped on his other hand.
"Come, repeat after me: 'We male disciples of Holy Son Peak are really short-lasting!' Say it and I’ll let you go. Of course, you could also just concede."
"Otherwise, I’ll keep going until you surrender!"
Jiang Tianxin had never suffered such humiliation. He snarled viciously:
"Gu Fan, you are indeed powerful, but don’t forget—this is Holy Son Peak! What can you possibly do to me here?"
"You and I are both talented, but have you seen the Holy Son? I’ll tell you, I have. His power will crush your hopes. Don’t foolishly become Overlord Peak’s spear!"
Gu Fan sighed. He had originally thought that disciples from the other eight peaks were like this, and had hoped Jiang Tianxin would have a strong cultivator’s mindset.
But it turned out he was no different.
He didn’t know how strong the Holy Son was, but what he did know was that Jiang Tianxin, who had lost the will to fight, was deeply disappointing.
"Not talking? Then let’s continue!"
Gu Fan’s expression remained calm, showing neither emotion nor fear.
He stomped down again—hard.
"Either surrender, or repeat what I said. Otherwise, I’ll keep breaking every bone in your body!"
At this point, many disciples of Holy Son Peak watching from below shouted urgently:
"Gu Fan! How dare you! Junior Brother Jiang Tianxin is already done—what more do you want?"
"That’s right, Gu Fan! I advise you not to make a mistake. Jiang Tianxin has already lost!"
Gu Fan ignored them completely, stomping on one of Jiang Tianxin’s legs.
"Relax, there are just two legs left. We’ll be done soon. Hang in there!"
