Zhou Changfeng's speed was too fast. Just as people saw him strike head-on, he had already moved behind Gui Yun and slashed down with his blade.
"Pfft"—
Gui Yun's figure was cut in two, but blood spurted from his neck. People saw two Gui Yun: the one holding Zhou Changfeng's head in one hand, standing quietly in the void.
"What... everyone's shocked.
"Thud!"
Zhou Changfeng's headless corpse collapsed to the ground. The moment his head was cut off, the flame of his soul was extinguished instantly—he was already dead.
At this moment, the previous Gui Yun slowly faded away. It turned out everything had happened too fast—what Zhou Changfeng had slashed at was only Gui Yun's afterimage. The real Gui Yun, at the moment he struck, was already standing behind him.
"What speed is this?" Bai Xiaole's scalp tingled as he said in horror. At such a terrifying speed, his Three Flowers Eyes hadn't even been activated before he was about to be killed.
"The key is, I didn't even see what weapon he used." Lu Mingxuan's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear. This Gui Yun was terrifying.
Zhou Changfeng was a wind-element powerhouse, with astonishing speed. If she encountered him, she would definitely be caught off guard, possibly severely injured in a single move, or even at risk of being killed.
But with such speed and such sharp attacks, Gui Yun sliced off his head like chopping cabbage. That ghostly movement sent chills down one's spine.
Zhou Changfeng was fast, but Gui Yun's speed was beyond description. Such a movement technique was simply unreasonable, too bizarre. Who could withstand such speed?
"Looks like you're still too slow." Gui Yun's carrot-like fingers loosened, and Zhou Changfeng's head rolled to the ground. A legendary powerhouse died just like that, and the entire venue fell into dead silence.
Many people knew about Gui Yun. The elders of the family and sect repeatedly warned them that when encountering Gui Yun, they must admit defeat. Many were resentful, but the elders sternly warned that anyone who disobeyed would be expelled from the sect. So, they had no choice but to give up.
Now, seeing Gui Yun take action, countless people secretly felt relieved, because many powerful figures had once wondered if they should try to strike if they encountered Gui Yun. Now, recalling it, they couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Gui Yun was short in stature and bulky, looking like a clumsy fat man, but who would have thought he possessed such terrifying movement skills and speed.
"To be accepted as a personal disciple by Empuda as an exception must have extraordinary talent. That's perfectly normal. But you don't need to worry. Whether it's Gui Yun or Ku Wuya, they will definitely have to fight the boss in the end." Qin Feng wasn't very shocked. Who was Empuda? If his disciple wasn't terrifying, that would be a real mystery.
"You sound pretty easy. Aren't you worried about your boss?" Lu Mingxuan replied irritably.
"Why worry? You just need to remember, the boss is invincible.
The reason you worry about him is because you don't know him well enough. The boss is too low-key and hides too deeply.
Heh, with these two here, the boss's stash is probably about to be brought out. Just wait and see what shows. Qin Feng chuckled. After following Long Chen for so many years, he knew Long Chen very well. Just thinking about Long Chen unleashing his full power made his blood boil.
Especially seeing Lu Mingxuan and the others still worried about Long Chen, he was eager to see their shocked expressions when Long Chen unleashed his full power. In Guo Ran's old words: I just like seeing you look like you're inexperienced in the world.
Although Qin Feng had such confidence in Long Chen, Lu Mingxuan and the others still found it hard to believe, because whether it was Ku Wuya or Gui Yun, both were so powerful they surpassed the human realm—they were simply monsters.
"I just hope that in the next round, I won't run into someone like that, or else the path to the top 100 will be cut off just like that." Luo Xue said with a wry smile.
Not to mention encountering people like Ku Wuya or Gui Yun—even the woman playing the zither, or the one who could draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao without needing to form hand seals, would have to admit defeat outright, without even the courage to compete.
Not to mention the other four, even the other strong ones weren't very confident, because there were no weaklings left. Every victory came at a tremendous cost.
After two days of competition, he rested for another day, and only when the arena reopened did Long Chen emerge from his closed-door cultivation.
This time, when Long Chen appeared, Bai Shishi and the others were all startled. The moment they saw him, they felt a sharp, sharp aura rushing toward him. Long Chen felt as if a sharp blade had been drawn from its sheath, and the aura was so intense it made one's heart race.
"What have you been up to lately? Why is the aura changing so drastically? Bai Shishi couldn't help but ask. Long Chen's aura had changed so much lately that it felt somewhat unfamiliar.
"Recently, I've been studying a heaven-defying combat technique. Just now, I finally finished the deduction and have basically mastered it, so that aura still lingers on me." Long Chen said with a smile.
He was in a particularly good mood today. After repeated simulations, he had studied the final form of the First Form of Heaven Creation combined with the laws of the Immortal Realm. He had previously demonstrated it inside his body. Although there were still some minor flaws, it was already ready to be activated.
After demonstrating the First Form of Creation, Long Chen still retained the will of the First Heaven Opening Technique within his body, making his aura fierce and domineering, making it hard for everyone to adapt. He needed a while to gradually subside.
"Let's go. Today is the day to advance to the top sixty-four. I hope all five of us can make it through." Bai Shishi said.
"Let's hope so."
Luo Xue knew that the hope Bai Shishi referred to was her, because Long Chen, Bai Shishi, Young Master Changchuan, and Bai Xiaole—as long as they didn't run into those few people, there was no suspense. As for her, all she could do was pray.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You're not the main force of the Luo family. Such a heavy burden shouldn't be yours to bear.
Besides, you don't need to worry about the Luo family's future. I guarantee with my life that the Luo family will only get better and better. Seeing Luo Xue's anxious expression, Long Chen gently patted her fragrant shoulder and smiled with a toothy smile.
As for the Luo family, except for Luo Qingyang, he felt a deep sense of closeness. Perhaps because of blood ties, if Luo Bing, Luo Ning, and others were in trouble, he was willing to risk his life to protect them.
Long Chen's intimate gesture made Luo Xue's pretty face blush slightly, but seeing the warmth in his smile, it was like a big brother carefully caring for her. With him around, she wasn't afraid even if the sky fell. That smile was so warm it melted everyone's heart.
Luo Xue smiled and nodded. She had been under a lot of pressure, but Long Chen's smile instantly put her at ease.
Lu Mingxuan curled his lip and said, "Hey, hey, that's too much. Why are you making such intimate gestures to her? Why not do it with me?" "
Filthy God,"
Long Chen glared at her. This woman was beyond saving; she always felt like her words were all heading into a ditch, making people think the wrong way.
Long Chen and the others returned to the arena. On the outer viewing platform, enthusiastic cheers erupted. The disciples of Lingxiao Academy were shouting wildly.
Long Chen led the crowd, smiling and waving to them. Seeing Long Chen and the others respond, the disciples of Lingxiao Academy shouted even more excitedly.
Especially Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, Li Cai, and others—they were shouting their lungs hoarse, already making it into the top 128. Lingxiao Academy hadn't achieved such good results in many years, and this time they were finally holding their heads high.
Moreover, they could all see that whether it was Long Chen, Bai Shishi, or Young Master Changchuan, they all held back and would surely continue moving forwardCharge.
"Rumble rumble... The
massive drum began to spin, and the nameplates of Long Chen and the others began to flash one after another.
"Hahaha..."
Long Chen looked up at the name on the plaque and couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.
"Chu Shuang"
Bai Shishi and the others noticed that this name appeared on Long Chen's nameplate. They laughed too. Long Chen was really lucky—his wish had come true.
