Although Gu Ming was shocked by Hun Changqing's identity, he scoffed at Hun Changqing's words. While he was surprised that Hun Changqing could break through his aura, Gu Xun'er had told him not to hurt Hun Changqing, so he hadn't gone all out from the start.
"Heh, arrogant brat of the Hun Clan, let me see what tricks you have to spout such nonsense."
Gu Ming sneered, his gaze sharpening. He raised his hand, flicking his fingers, and instantly five terrifying streams of battle qi shot out from between him. The battle qi transformed into extremely condensed streaks, hurtling towards Hun Changqing.
Hun Changqing sensed the terrifying power and astonishing speed of these five streams of battle qi. He became cautious, his feet shifting and turning, dodging through the gaps in the incoming streams of battle qi with several quick movements, narrowly avoiding Gu Ming's attack.
The five streams of battle qi landed in the void behind Hun Changqing, instantly shattering the space. Fragments of space flew out from the cracks, and five black holes with terrifying suction appeared at the point of spatial collapse, causing Hun Changqing, who was looking back, to break out in a cold sweat.
Was this the attack of a Dou Zun expert who had already begun compressing his battle qi? Or was it a casual strike with such terrifying power? It should be known that with Hun Changqing's current attack, to shatter space into such a state, he would need to use at least 70-80% of his strength.
Gu Ming looked at Hun Changqing, who had barely dodged his attack, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. He said sarcastically,
"Little brat of the Hun Clan, don't resist. You'd better wait here obediently for Miss to come out. Your strength is far from enough."
Hearing this, Hun Changqing's killing intent intensified. He naturally didn't think that Gu Xun'er would let him off so easily this time. No resistance? Did she expect him to just lie there and let them kill him? Surrendering was not Hun Changqing's style.
"Heh heh... We'll only know the outcome after we try."
As Hun Changqing finished speaking, a burst of silver light shot from his eyes, and an intensely dense black mist rose into the sky, turning it pitch black. He raised his large hand, black energy erupting, and then slammed it down onto the ground.
With his palm, the ground of Maple City cracked inch by inch, and countless black wooden stalks, radiating a strong death aura, shot into the sky and then spread outwards.
In an instant, Maple City was as if a natural disaster had struck. From Dou Wang to Dou Zhe, everyone was shocked by this sudden, apocalyptic scene and began a frantic escape.
Huge black wooden stalks twisted and writh, then surged towards Gu Ming, who stood in the void.
Gu Ming looked at the overwhelming black wooden stalks sweeping towards him below, smacked his lips, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
"Not bad fighting skills, and these woods don't seem to be just simple energy; they seem to contain vitality, somewhat like... a strange fire? Tsk tsk, what a stroke of luck."
Gu Ming moved nimbly among the giant trees sweeping towards him, flashing in the blink of an eye. He seemed quite relaxed, even having the leisure to observe Hun Changqing's black wood, commenting on it and figuring out its details. Hun Changqing was furious, his face turning pale and then red.
"Hmph, then let's try this!"
Hun Changqing snorted coldly, and death energy once again surged wildly from his body, rising rapidly. The black wood, twisting and writhing like demons, also rose with the death energy emanating from Hun Changqing, and the black mist around him began to surge violently.
Then, countless black woods ceased their attack on Gu Ming and began to intertwine and entwine. Under the spreading black mist, these black woods were completely enveloped, and a series of intense, ear-piercing sounds, like the mournful howls of vengeful ghosts, emanated from within the black mist as the woods rubbed against each other. After
the black mist dissipated, a hundred-foot-tall, pitch-black wooden figure, as deep as an abyss, stood between heaven and earth. The wooden figure had two heads and nine arms, and a dense aura of death emanated from its body, devouring all life force around it, its power extremely terrifying.
Gu Ming looked at this enormous wooden figure, quite astonished. He hadn't expected that Hun Changqing's strange fire-like entity could achieve this. Even he felt a surge of greed.
If he hadn't lacked wood-attribute battle qi, and if his young lady hadn't shown some strangeness in her attitude towards this Soul Clan member, Gu Ming might have already gone all out to snatch it.
"Although the formation is impressive, it's still somewhat lacking, Soul Clan brat." You'll never believe why I moved to… Dortmund Gu Ming felt a pang of regret, suppressing his greed, his eyes once again filled with amusement.
"Hmph, not over yet,"
Hun Changqing snorted coldly again, a dazzling silver light erupting from between his brows. The silver light filled the sky, intertwining with the soaring black energy. Four crystal-clear water droplets appeared before Hun Changqing, then began to surge and spread, ultimately transforming into a shimmering, seven-colored ocean that engulfed the entire Maple City, flooding it!
On the surface, towering waves surged beside the black wooden figure, the energies of yin and death intertwining, shaking the heavens and earth.
Then, the wooden figure, with a terrifying speed belying its massive size, charged towards Gu Ming, punching him with incredible force. In an instant, it was before Gu Ming, its nine enormous fists slamming down heavily.
Gu Ming watched the incoming fists, his expression unchanged. The energy contained in this attack did not stir any ripples in his heart.
Just as Gu Ming was about to raise his hand to shatter the wooden figure, the towering waves of the seven-colored ocean, following the wooden figure's charge, arrived before Gu Ming, crashing down upon him. The
immense energy subtly contained within the giant waves caused Gu Ming, who had initially been somewhat playful, to instantly contract his pupils. He quickly raised his hand, and an energy shield instantly appeared, protecting him.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the black wooden figure and the towering waves struck Gu Ming, creating a massive mushroom cloud of terrifying power that billowed up, filling the battlefield with black smoke.
As the smoke dissipated, Gu Ming was revealed, his clothes somewhat dirty and his hair disheveled.
Seeing that Gu Ming had only soiled his robes after such a terrifying attack, Hun Changqing's pupils instantly contracted, shrinking to pinpoints.
Gu Ming was also quite annoyed. He had only intended to play around with Hun Changqing, but he hadn't expected to be so thoroughly humiliated by Hun Changqing's attack, a peak Dou Zong. This made him, a third-rank Dou Zun, lose face. A
flash of anger appeared in Gu Ming's eyes. He didn't intend to continue playing with this brat from the Hun Clan. Gu Ming planned to suppress and capture him directly, and then hand him over to Gu Xun'er after she finished her business.
Instantly, Gu Ming's Dou Qi surged and rose, gathering above his head. A vast, abyss-like aura spread out, sweeping across the entire battlefield. Then, a huge palm print appeared above Gu Ming's head, so large that it seemed capable of covering the entire Feng City.
At the moment this palm print appeared, the seven-colored ocean beneath the black wooden figure, which had submerged the entire Feng City, began to stir. The energy within the ocean was being eroded by the sky-covering palm print.
The palm print instantly gathered energy, becoming incredibly solid. Then, a sharp light flashed in Gu Ming's eyes, and a deep voice rang out from his mouth:
"Emperor's Seal Technique - Earth-Shrouding Seal!"
As Gu Ming's voice fell, the giant palm slammed down. With the impact, the intense force caused the space around the palm to crack inch by inch. The wooden figure also crumbled under the terrifying power of the palm, and the giant wave beneath its feet was directly parted by the palm. Hun Changqing's attack was like paper before this palm print.
Hun Changqing was also stunned by Gu Ming's palm print, his face filled with disbelief. After recovering, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly,
"Holy crap! That's so powerful! Elder Yao, save me!"
