Three-star Martial Master mid-stage!
Looking at Gu Xingnan who was coming to kill him, Yang Qi's eyes focused. The fluctuation of Yuanli on Gu Xingnan's body was much stronger than the early three-star Martial Master recorded in Wanxiang Tower. If the Martial Master Prodigy List was ranked again, Gu Xingnan's ranking would definitely improve a lot.
Gu Xingnan's energy cultivation was only at the middle stage of the three-star martial master level, but the pressure he brought to Yang Qi was no weaker than that of Fan Tong, who was ambushed by him before.
"As expected, you are a genius that King Wu values."
There was a gleam of light in Yang Qi's eyes. Although there had never been a recognized number one genius in Wanxiang Tower before him, Gu Xingnan's talent and potential ranked among the top five practitioners of his generation.
Whoosh~
Gu Xingnan shook the sword in his hand, and a sharp blue-gray sword light slashed towards Yang Qi. The sword light crossed the sky, and the air around him exploded instantly. A terrifying might enveloped Yang Qi.
“Well done!”
Facing the incoming sword, Yang Qi did not retreat but advanced. The green rainbow in his hand shook and turned into a huge green lotus, which flew around to meet the incoming sword light.
"Boom~"
The sharp blue-gray sword light bombarded the green lotus, accompanied by a thunderous sound, and an invisible storm, centered on the fight between the two parties, stirred up.
"What?"
Seeing Yang Qi taking his sword, Gu Xingnan's eyes flashed with surprise. His full-strength sword attack was something that even an ordinary four-star Martial Master could not block so easily. Yang Qi was only a two-star Martial Master in the early stage of Yuanli cultivation, but he was able to block his full-strength sword so easily
"His strength has improved so quickly?"
Gu Xingnan's face darkened. Although he was shocked by the talent Yang Qi had shown before, he never thought that Yang Qi's fighting power was comparable to that of a four-star martial artist.
Yang Qi's strength improved so fast, beyond his imagination. If he hadn't refused to give up this time and insisted on looking for him, if he let Yang Qi escape and gave him some time to grow, he would not even be Yang Qi's opponent!
“No wonder Wanxiang Tower lists you as the number one genius of your generation.” Gu Xingnan’s eyes fell on Yang Qi and he laughed coldly, “It’s a pity that there are only living strong people in the cultivation world, but no dead geniuses.”
"It's still uncertain who will die." Yang Qi smiled coldly, unwilling to be outdone.
Although Gu Xingnan's strength is much stronger than what is recorded in the Martial Master Prodigy List, his strength has also been greatly improved. He has a strong body and terrifying recovery ability. His ability to survive is no worse than that of an ordinary high-level Martial Master.
clang~
Gu Xingnan smiled indifferently, shook the sword in his hand, and a crisp sword sound spread out.
“I also wanted to join the Tianjian Sect back then, but unfortunately my family suffered a major change and I had to flee to the Great Zhou Empire. However, I still chose the way of the sword.” Gu Xingnan said slowly, a sharp sword intent emanating from him.
"Such a domineering sword intention."
Feeling Gu Xingnan's sword intent, Yang Qi's pupils shrank. This sword intent was surprisingly similar to the overbearing sword intent that he hadn't comprehended before. However, this sword intent exuded a momentum that those who obey will prosper, while those who go against will perish.
If it was just the overbearing sword intent, it would not be enough to surprise Yang Qi. What really shocked Yang Qi was that Gu Xingnan's sword intent realm was almost the same as his. You have to know that he used the Enlightenment Lotus to practice before to improve his sword intent to the current level. No one would be willing to trade such a rare treasure as the Enlightenment Lotus. Gu Xingnan was only in his fifties, but he could practice sword intent to this level, which showed his talent in swordsmanship.
"Sword Intentions are not only possessed by you."
Feeling the pressure of the sword intent, Yang Qi smiled coldly, and a tenacious and domineering sword intent burst out from him, which actually broke through the pressure of Gu Xingnan's sword intent.
"How is that possible?"
Feeling the sword intent on Yang Qi that was even stronger than his, Gu Xingnan's face suddenly changed. His sword intent had been cultivated for many years, and with the guidance of a martial arts master, he had achieved his current achievements. However, Yang Qi, who had only practiced for half as many years as him, had a higher sword intent realm than him!
"How could his talent and potential be so much higher than mine? It's impossible, absolutely impossible." Gu Xingnan roared angrily in his heart, his face instantly becoming extremely ferocious.
"Die!"
Gu Xingnan roared angrily and rushed towards Yang Qi again, waving the sword in his hand. Sharp sword beams, like a strong wind, enveloped Yang Qi.
Facing Gu Xingnan's attack, Yang Qi had no intention of retreating. He wanted to use this battle to tell Gu Xingnan that he had said that no one could force Yun Lan, and no one could do it, not even Gu Xingnan.
Boom! Boom!
In mid-air, two figures were fighting madly. The area of a thousand feet was shrouded in the residual power of the fight. Every time they fought, countless terrifying sword energy storms dissipated.
"Why are these two ants fighting so fiercely?"
In the distance, Xuankong Snake felt the fierce battle between Yang Qi and Gu Xingnan and was immediately startled. Although the noise of the fight between the two sides was not as loud as that between him and Zhao Chen, it was obvious that both sides did not hold back at all and fully unleashed their strength, as if they were fighting to the death.
"Yang Qi's strength is so strong?"
Zhao Chen glanced at Yang Qi and Gu Xingnan fighting in the distance, and his face suddenly changed. Gu Xingnan tried his best but couldn't do anything to Yang Qi.
You know, Gu Xingnan is a three-star martial master in the middle stage. Just his Yuanli cultivation is one level higher than Yang Qi. Under such circumstances, he can't do anything to Yang Qi!
"What a monster! No wonder Gu Xingnan was determined to kill it at all costs. If this kind of monster grows up..." Zhao Chen felt a chill in his heart just thinking about it.
Yang Qi has only been famous for a little over a year, but Gu Xingnan? He has been famous for decades, but he is still easily caught up by Yang Qi. I am afraid that it will not be long before Yang Qi's strength exceeds Gu Xingnan.
Anyone would be unable to sleep or eat peacefully with such a monstrous enemy, and would eliminate this threat at all costs. This was probably the reason why Gu Xingnan spent so much effort to kill Yang Qi.
After all, Gu Xingnan experienced the destruction of his family when he was young, and finally grew up and returned to the Great Chu Empire to seek revenge. With this experience, he knows better than anyone the importance of cutting the grass at its roots. Not a single person in the family that was destroyed by him survived!
"I will also give it my all." Just as Zhao Chen was sighing with emotion, a shrill laugh suddenly came from his ears, and then a huge black shadow continued to expand in his pupils.
"not good!"
Looking at the Xuankong Snake coming towards him, Zhao Chen dared not be distracted and immediately dealt with it with all his strength.
Bang!
In midair, a muffled sound exploded, and two slightly embarrassed figures flew back. They were Yang Qi and Gu Xingnan who were fighting fiercely. After the fierce fight, both sides were injured, and no one gained any advantage. (To be continued)
