NOVEL WEB Chapter 172: Yuan Qian's End
Before the Dragon Transformation Pool, Gu Chen began a battle with Yuan Qian, even challenging Lu Xin to fight two on one, which immediately caused a huge sensation at the scene.
Except for Princess Xidie and Yun Zishu, everyone was pessimistic about Gu Chen. The Second Prince and others even went as far as to mock him openly.
But a development soon shocked everyone to the extreme.
Gu Chen made his move in a flash of lightning, defeated Yuan Qian, and ruthlessly stomped him into the ground, causing him to spit blood and be unable to move.
This scene terrified everyone present. Everyone was dumbstruck, including Mo Chen, Lu Xin, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Ninth Prince.
"It's... it's too fast, how did Yuan Qian lose as soon as a shadow flickered?" someone murmured subconsciously, voicing the thoughts of everyone present.
Nobody could see clearly what had just happened. As the person before had said, a flash of light, and the battle was over.
"This Gu Bai..." Lu Xin from the Seven Stars Sect looked extremely solemn, having witnessed everything. He now even doubted his own chances.
The Crown Prince couldn't help but exclaim, "Yuan Qian!"
The Second Prince's pupils constricted, his expression shocked, unable to hide his astonishment.
The Ninth Prince murmured, "My brother-in-law is really something special. Xidie has good judgment!"
At that moment, Princess Xidie stood by, watching Gu Chen perform bravely under everyone's eyes. A rich smile emerged in her spirited eyes.
Yun Zishu too watched this scene in shock. He knew that when they were at Qingyun Academy, Gu Chen had held back against him.
"Wow!"
At that moment, Yuan Qian couldn't bear it any longer, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion also turning deathly pale while his eyes were full of disbelief.
The words "no match at all" echoed in his ears along with Gu Chen's voice, overwhelming Yuan Qian with humiliation.
Especially since he was now being stepped on by Gu Chen, it made it even worse.
"Gu Bai, I'm going to kill you. I must kill you!" Yuan Qian roared furiously, struggling continuously, but Gu Chen's foot seemed to possess the force of ten thousand jun, making his struggles futile.
Bang!
With another forceful step from Gu Chen, Yuan Qian's whole body trembled, another mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and his face turned even paler.
"Lu Xin, come over here and face your death!" Gu Chen said those words again, his icy gaze staring down Seven Stars Sect's top genius, Lu Xin.
Everyone was stunned, all eyes turned to Lu Xin, curious about how he would react.
With the previous example before them, Gu Chen had defeated Yuan Qian in an instant. Now, who could doubt him, who would think he was incapable?
Gu Chen proved through his actions, he was not arrogant or delusional, but truly possessed astonishing strength!
At this moment, Lu Xin's expression was solemn, his gaze thoughtful as he continuously sized up Gu Chen.
He wondered if Gu Chen was so confident because he had also comprehended a Divine Power.
But then, Lu Xin quickly dismissed this thought.
For, throughout ancient and modern times, from the last great era to the present, it was only the Ice Emperor at the God Transformation Realm who had successfully grasped a Divine Power. Other than him, there was no second person.
If there were, such a remarkable person would not only have been recorded, but his experiences would also have painted a vivid part in history books and various ancient texts once he grew stronger.
But there still was none; throughout history, the only one who achieved this was the Ice Emperor!
Therefore, Lu Xin naturally did not believe that Gu Chen could also succeed. If he had such talent, even the top ten prodigies couldn't compare with him!
Moreover, if it were so, Gu Chen's fame would have spread all over the world, and he would have been eagerly invited to join the immortal-ranked sects. How could he appear here?
"Could it be that he has some sort of treasure?" Lu Xin frowned. He thought this guess might be true. Perhaps Qingyun Academy had given him some secret treasure for protection before he left.
That was why he was fearless against Divine Powers.
"Gu Bai!"
At this moment, Yuan Qian still screamed, but no matter how hard he tried and activated various techniques, it was ineffective. Gu Chen's foot was like a heavenly mountain, crushing him ruthlessly beneath it.
Now, even his life and death were at the mercy of Gu Chen's whim.
This predicament was naturally unbearable and unacceptable to Yuan Qian.
"Divine Power - Soul Suppressing!"
At this moment, Yuan Qian roared, his hair disheveled as he glared, his brow center emitting strange fluctuations. The surrounding world shook violently.
At the same time, an incredibly terrifying aura spread from the center of Yuan Qian's brow, then outwards, making everyone at the scene feel extremely terrified. It was as if their souls had plunged into an ice cave, their thoughts and consciousness seemingly frozen in place!
Divine Power - Soul Suppressing, a unique skill of King Zhenan. In his early years of conquest, he had slaughtered countless enemies with this Divine Power, saying it was blood-drenched was an understatement!
Soul Suppressing, as the name suggests, targets the soul of the enemy, or rather the spirit. Yuan Qian had just grasped it, or rather had only just entered the threshold. Compared to a ninth-grade Divine Power, it was slightly weaker. Otherwise, with one move, everyone present would have their spirits burst instantly, leading to the dispersal of their souls.
