Chapter 263: Chapter 182 Single-Handed Overpowering, How Can He Be So Strong!_2

The Sage from the Dongfang Family wasn’t surprised by the appearance of the Gu Family Ancestor, as he didn’t bother to conceal his presence when he arrived in the city.

With his presence, Gu Haitang simply took a seat among the clouds above and watched as the two below prepared to make their move.

“However, once my little girl wins, I hope Daoist Fellow will send that Young Dragon over.”

“That is what she wins, and I must ensure she can take it away,” the Red Robe Sage said offhandedly.

“It’s too early to say, Daoist Fellow.”

“Let it be, Daoist Fellow, just watch quietly.”

The Gu Family Ancestor was even more confident than him. How could Gu Changge possibly lose?

Not wanting to explain to the Red Robe Sage, he said no more.

However, his confident demeanor caused the Red Robe Sage to reconsider Gu Changge with some surprise.

But no matter how he scrutinized, this Young Master of the Gu Family seemed utterly ordinary.

His Root Bone could be described as nothing short of poor, merely the most common talent.

Could it be that his reliance was on the rumored Magic Treasure?

But even with a Magic Treasure, it would be useless, nothing stands before true strength!

…

In front of the Gu Family Mansion, although an open space had been cleared,

Dongfang Mingyue directly soared into the air, defiantly glancing at Gu Changge.

Seeing this, Gu Changge also smiled faintly, took to the skies, and even gestured for her to proceed, with no intention of making the first move himself.

“We haven’t seen the Young Master make a move yet; today we get a real treat!”

“What do you guys think, how many moves will it take for our Young Master to take down this lady from the Central State?”

“Her Realm is already at the Void Refinement Realm, even if she suppresses it to the Late Stage of the Ruins Realm, she still has the upper hand, I guess… it would take at least ten moves for the Young Master!”

“Ten moves?”

“I bet at most only eight!”

Listening to the young people’s remarks, the fifth Elder couldn’t help but get intrigued, and he silently commented: “In my opinion, three moves are more than enough.”

He was just as confident in the Young Master’s strength.

Dongfang Mingyue, hearing the cheers for Gu Changge from below, as well as discussions on how quickly she would be defeated,

also couldn’t help but feel a bit angry.

Did none of these Gu Family people think Gu Changge could lose?

What was his basis for that?

“I, Sword Immortal from the Dongfang Family of the Central State, Dongfang Mingyue.”

“Please enlighten me!”

Dongfang Mingyue tore off the cloth wrapped around her Flying Sword and quickly spun with it in hand, then wrapped the cloth back around her arm.

She firmly caught the Low Grade Heavenly Rank Flying Sword, making a beautiful Sword Flower towards Gu Changge as she introduced herself.

Her movements flowed smoothly, causing Gu Changge to almost want to clap for her in praise.

“From the Northern Domain’s Gu Family, Gu Changge.”

He similarly introduced himself following her example and once again made a gesture inviting her to make the first move.

“Do you look down on me, Sword Immortal?”

“I am already at a higher Realm, and you still want me to make the first move?”

Gu Changge’s gesture made Dongfang Mingyue feel as if she was being ridiculed, and she asked with a frown.

“No, it’s just that if I were to make the first move, you might not get the full experience of the competition.”

“So… let’s have the lady make the first move.”

Gu Changge shook his head, speaking quite sincerely.

‘Clang–‘

Hearing his words, Dongfang Mingyue dispensed with formalities, wondering where he got his confidence from!

But she wasted no more words and immediately flashed forward, unleashing several terrifyingly powerful Sword Qi strikes towards Gu Changge before she even arrived, blocking every possible escape route for him!

With a flick of her hands, Sword Intent emerged, creating illusionary Flying Swords that formed a Sword Array, trapping Gu Changge.

Since she initiated a move, she naturally wouldn’t pull any punches!

This was respect for herself and her opponent as well–her attack was a killing move!

Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, appearing completely nonchalant as the Sword Array encircled him.

Countless waves of Sword Qi, almost invisible to the naked eye, continuously assaulted him.

Yet he simply shifted ever so slightly, allowing none of the rapid Sword Qi to come into contact with him, not even grazing a hair!

Dongfang Mingyue was somewhat surprised to see Gu Changge so at ease within the Sword Array.

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant, it turned out he did have some real skills!

But besides the Sword Array, she had already teleported behind him, refusing to believe that he could handle the Sword Array while also fending her off!

With Sword Intent infused within her Flying Sword, Dongfang Mingyue’s movements were ghostly as she flickered within the Sword Array, suddenly unleashing a slash!

Gu Changge turned to look, eyes meeting hers.

She had thought he would use the rumored magic treasure to counter, but instead, she saw him suddenly stretch out his hand toward her flying sword!

Dongfang Mingyue frowned. Did this guy not want his fingers anymore?

To catch her low-grade heavenly rank flying sword barehanded?

And it was with the enhancement of her spiritual power and sword intent!

In the blink of an eye, she had no intention to change her move, and the flying sword fell.

And Gu Changge’s fingers gathered spiritual energy, bolstered by the thick Xuanhuang spiritual energy, he actually caught the flying sword between his two fingers!

Standing with one hand behind his back, just extending one hand, he firmly locked the opponent’s flying sword!

This scene made the Gu Family’s people’s blood boil!

Was this the Young Master’s strength!?

Even facing the geniuses from Central State, he was utterly without pressure, even using just one hand!

“How is that possible!”

Dongfang Mingyue’s pupils shrank, not expecting that he could really catch it!

Still, she hurriedly tried to pull out the flying sword.

But no matter how hard she tried, he was immovable as a mountain, and even with a slight turn of his body, dodged several attacks of sword qi from the sword array!

“This flying sword, I will take it.”

Gu Changge grasped the flying sword between the fingers of his right hand and suddenly launched a kick towards her abdomen!

With the heavy Xuanhuang spiritual energy enhancing it, the force of his kick was like a small mountain smashing down!

Dongfang Mingyue would certainly not be able to withstand such a blow!

But just as his foot was about to touch her, her figure suddenly turned into sword qi and disappeared. She reappeared unharmed from another direction in the sword array.

Staring at Gu Changge in astonishment.

Was this guy so strong?

That kick earlier, if it hadn’t been for her teleporting using the sword array, she might have been kicked into losing her ability to fight!

“Impressive.”

Gu Changge was also somewhat surprised by her move.

He couldn’t help but turn around and praise.

“…”

At this moment, Dongfang Mingyue was somewhat regretful. If she had known he was so strong, why would she propose to suppress her realm?

But she was not panicked.

With the sword array, she was in an invincible position!

He could not hurt her, and as soon as she succeeded once, she could severely wound him and capture him!

But her thoughts, obviously, Gu Changge had no intention of giving her the chance to implement them.

He punched out, and on the Xuanhuang fist shadow, there was even the enhancement of sword intent, very strange indeed!

It was even vaguely like divine skills but wasn’t a divine skill!

Dongfang Mingyue repeated her technique. The moment before the Xuanhuang fist shadow touched her, she turned directly into sword qi and teleported.

But when she appeared from another place of the sword array, she didn’t see Gu Changge.

“Young Lady, you have lost.”

A voice rang in her ear, making Dongfang Mingyue realize something was wrong!

She couldn’t use her teleportation consecutively. It required about one-tenth of a breath’s time for the sword array to prepare!

Accompanied by the voice, she only saw a terrifyingly powerful fist arriving right in front of her eyes in an instant!

In horror, she even closed her eyes.

But the expected pain didn’t occur, rather a gust of wind from the punch.

Her hair tie was blown away by the punch, and her long hair was swept back by the wind.

“Why did you hold back?”

Dongfang Mingyue opened her eyes, and the fist that was in front of her was retracted.

He still had a light smile on his face, as if from the start, he had never taken her seriously…

Her expression was complex. If she had known he was so strong, she wouldn’t have suppressed her cultivation.

“This flying sword, please admit defeat as per our wager.”

Gu Changge didn’t answer her question, just gestured for her to hand over the flying sword.

“The flying sword will stay with you for now.”

“But I will come back!”

Listening to the ongoing cheers from below, Dongfang Mingyue tossed the flying sword to Gu Changge with a very free and easy attitude, then turned and left.

“Next time, Young Lady, please prepare some other treasures. I thank you in advance.”

Gu Changge waved his hand at her departing back, speaking very sincerely.

But these words made Dongfang Mingyue stumble and leave even faster!

The detestable fellow, hiding his strength so deeply. Next time she would challenge without suppressing her realm and see if he dared to accept!

But to her surprise, this guy seemed to understand chivalry.

Little did she know, in Gu Changge’s view, injuring her might bring some trouble, so it was better to decide the winner and be done.
