Chapter 623: The Great Battle
The long-awaited great battle finally began! Everyone present held their breath, their eyes fixed on the first arena, eagerly anticipating the spectacular opening of this final battle. After all, this was a match signed with a contract of life and death!
With the host’s passionate words, Gu Baiyi launched the first attack on Xiao Shun. A white light streaked across the crowd’s eyes, carrying a sense of solemn killing intent that appeared suddenly in front of Xiao Shun. He then fiercely struck towards Xiao Shun’s shoulder.
Feeling the overwhelming surge of energy shield coming towards him, Xiao Shun remained unusually calm, with a hint of a smile on his face. Gu Baiyi, sensing a hint of mockery in that smile, grew displeased. The fierce palm energy, like an avalanche, erupted in full force at this moment!
Gu Baiyi made up his mind to shatter Xiao Shun’s scapula with this strike. “It was a blow like this last time that hurt me a lot, but now…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Shun’s sword finger pierced through Gu Baiyi’s palm. “Courting death!” Gu Baiyi snorted, still driving his palm straight in without a care for Xiao Shun’s sword finger. In an instant, the two forces erupted fiercely, their moves colliding heavily.
Boom! Like a meteor hitting the earth, the sword finger and the soft palm clashed together, creating a deafening roar. The shockwaves swept through, stirring up a frenzy of winds and dust on the arena, causing confusion. But the two in the center of the battlefield remained unmoved, clearly engaging in an internal force confrontation.
After three breaths, Gu Baiyi, with an unchanged expression, spoke, “The Three-Way Split Force is indeed strong, but it poses no threat to me.” Xiao Shun smiled without a word, mocking Gu Baiyi.
Then, a force burst forth from his fingertips, instantly rushing into Gu Baiyi’s body through his hand. This violent internal force, once sensed by Gu Baiyi, left him somewhat surprised. “It’s the Four-Pole Force?”
Although surprised, his words did not betray any panic. After all, no matter how many poles of internal force, everything was still within his control!
With a light drink, Gu Baiyi unleashed four waves of force from his palms towards Xiao Shun. He would use this split force technique, and he believed he was stronger than Xiao Shun!
However, the ensuing result was somewhat unexpected. Despite the four forces surging into Xiao Shun’s body, there was no hint of seriousness on his face! It felt like punching cotton, with no effect as imagined.
Even more unacceptable to Gu Baiyi was that his technique operated on Xiao Shun as if it sank into the ocean without causing a ripple! What’s going on? Gu Baiyi was full of questions.
Seeing Gu Baiyi’s perplexed expression, Xiao Shun calmly said, “Being too arrogant and conceited may establish one’s presence in the cultivation world, but it also leads to self-loss, making the cultivator think no one is their match.”
With that, his demeanor suddenly changed, becoming even more fierce. At the same time, Gu Baiyi’s expression changed, and he took the initiative to retreat!
Seeing this, Xiao Shun swiftly moved forward with his sword finger raised. This scene left everyone stunned.
“Oh my, this guy still dares to attack?”
“What do you know? I think Gu Baiyi purposely wants to toy with Xiao Shun and not end the battle so soon. After all, Xiao Shun just offended the Old School Society deeply, so it’s natural to humiliate him in front of everyone before dealing the final blow.”
These words received numerous echoes. “Exactly!”
“Gu Baiyi is awesome!”
At that moment, Wenting suddenly retracted her gaze from the arena and glanced at the expressionless Wenyao beside her, teasing, “Ready to collect the corpse for your lover?”
Gu Baiyi was an object of secret admiration for many women, and Wenting was no exception. Just earlier, Wenyao had displayed her skills on the arena, which undoubtedly made her feel resentful. Add to that, Gu Baiyi had been getting close to Xiao Shun recently, leading Wenting to misunderstand the situation and mock Wenyao with vigor.
Wenyao shook her head gently. “Mr. Xiao is not my lover; I’m not worthy of him… And he will not lose.”
Hearing this, Wenting sneered, “Heh, someone who’s not good enough for him was very fond of me before. But how could I look at trash like that? Only someone as strong as Gu Baiyi deserves to be my man.”
Wenting still mistakenly believed that Xiao Shun had feelings for her, being a bit too self-centred.
“You are as arrogant as ever.”
Saying that, Wenyao glanced at the proud Wenting next to her and couldn’t help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
Meanwhile, Xiao Shun and Gu Baiyi on the arena had battled for more than fifty moves but were still evenly matched! Of course, in the eyes of others, it seemed like Gu Baiyi was holding back, wanting to embarrass Xiao Shun before ultimately ending his life in a humiliating manner to restore the Old School Society’s reputation.
But only Xiao Shun knew the real situation. Gu Baiyi dodged Xiao Shun’s punch and said expressionlessly, “I didn’t expect you to be able to fight me for fifty moves. It’s quite surprising.” Previously, Gu Baiyi had clearly severed all the meridians in Xiao Shun’s body, rendering him powerless! But now, the man standing before him was no invalid; not only had he recovered, but his strength had also increased somewhat, which was quite hard to understand.
“Hehe, finding it hard to accept?” Xiao Shun gazed playfully at Gu Baiyi. Gu Baiyi nodded lightly. “A little, but it doesn’t affect the outcome of the match.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
With that, he decided not to hide anymore and aimed to defeat Xiao Shun with all his might. As for the request from the Old School Society’s higher-ups to humiliate Xiao Shun, Gu Baiyi had long since disregarded it. His only goal now was to use the Thundering Killing Move to strike down Xiao Shun in front of him.
At the same time, a graceful figure suddenly walked up to the Old School Society’s viewing platform, facing the astonished gazes of the Society’s leaders, and slowly said, “Gu Baiyi is getting serious!” The leaders hurriedly rose to greet her, “Miss Haitang, you are not…”
But Haitang raised her hand, “I am interested in this battle, so I came to watch.” Seeing Miss Haitang suddenly appearing and her words, the astonished Old School Society leaders were thoroughly surprised!
