226: Zhan Gutong

With that, Gu Tong was about to attack Chu He.

At this moment, Shen Xi lightly stepped in front of him.

"I am your opponent!"

This was the important matter Shen Xi had spoken of.

He wanted to block Gu Tong, creating an opportunity for Chu He to take his revenge.

Beside them, the Savage Youth, seeing this, admired Shen Xi even more.

It turned out that the other party had been prepared to confront Gu Tong head-on from the very beginning.

And, even in this situation, he didn't mind the Savage Youth attacking him.

Didn't this mean that Shen Xi was full of confidence, even if he had to fight two against one?

This was his kind of person, possessing an invincible heart.

Even when facing two powerful enemies simultaneously, he remained fearless.

"Get lost!"

Gu Tong roared.

Without the Savage Youth's intervention, in a one-on-one situation, he was confident that no one was his match.

He threw a punch at Shen Xi.

The whistling punch wind made the air feel as if it was about to ignite.

"No one can interfere in the battle between Chu He and Xue Ye!"

Shen Xi's attitude was equally unyielding.

He did not use a sword technique; he also threw a punch.

Boom!

The two fists collided head-on.

The next second, a deafening explosion resounded.

The onlookers gasped in surprise at the sight.

"Are these two monsters?"

"With this kind of combat power, I couldn't even take one punch."

"Let alone facing their attacks directly, even the aftermath of their battle could knock me over."

"My heavens, have I, without realizing it, already fallen so far behind them?"

"Gu Tong's strength is within my expectations, but Shen Xi is not even twenty years old! Is he also this terrifying?"

"It seems that Shen Xi's ability to clear the Tower of the Heavens was not luck; he truly possesses this strength."

Discussions were constant, and countless people were shocked.

They came from different cities and different forces, all of them Geniuses of their respective regions.

However, compared to Gu Tong and Shen Xi, they were simply not worth mentioning.

While they were still striving to advance in the Houtian Realm, these two had already reached the Xiantian Realm, and their combat power could even span several minor Realms in battle, which was something they dared not even imagine.

"Ah!"

At the same time.

The battle between Xue Ye and Chu He was a one-sided affair.

As soon as they clashed, Xue Ye lost the ability to resist.

If Chu He hadn't wanted to torment Xue Ye, a single strike would have been enough to take his life.

Xue Ye screamed, desperately trying to run towards Gu Tong.

Now, only Gu Tong could protect him.

However, how could Chu He give him this opportunity?

Xue Ye was simply unable to escape Chu He's attack range; every time he tried to break through, he would be forcibly beaten back by Chu He, and the inhuman torment would continue.

"Damn it!"

This scene made Gu Tong's teeth itch with anger.

This wasn't tormenting Xue Ye; it was clearly tormenting him.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Everyone knew that Xue Ye was trying to curry favor with him, and if he couldn't protect the other party, then who would ever respect him again?

Gu Tong attacked even more frantically, wanting to break free from Shen Xi's entanglement.

But Shen Xi's strength was on par with his; even if Gu Tong desperately tried to rescue Xue Ye, he remained helpless.

The two's battle grew even more intense, and the onlookers couldn't help but retreat hundreds of meters, fearing being caught in the aftermath of the battle.

"I... hate!"

Finally, Xue Ye died amidst the torment.

Before his death, he cast an unwilling glance in Gu Tong's direction, leaving behind these words.

It looked as if he regretted clinging to the wrong powerful figure; Gu Tong simply couldn't protect him.

"Ah!"

Gu Tong was furious to the point of madness.

His Face could be said to be completely lost.

Not only did he fail to save Xue Ye, allowing him to be killed in broad daylight, but the look in Xue Ye's eyes before his death made him lose even more Face.

He had to kill Shen Xi to salvage his Face!

"Eight Extremities Raging Fist!"

Gu Tong unleashed his killing move.

The Eight Extremities Raging Fist, a High Grade Yellow-tier Martial Arts, was his trump card Cultivation Technique, which he had Cultivated to the Perfection Realm.

Although Gu Tong had self-crippled his Cultivation, reducing it to its current level, his comprehension of Martial Arts was not affected.

This was the advantage brought by Cultivating for an extra ten years.

Within the same Realm, Gu Tong's combat power was still the ceiling.

"One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces!"

Shen Xi finally gave up using his fists.

He was a Sword Cultivator, and fists were not his strongest combat power.

A Sword Cultivator was only in his strongest state when holding the sword in his hand.

With one sword strike, light illuminated the Nine Provinces.

This sword, carrying the domineering aura of slaying all enemies in the heavens, collided with the Eight Extremities Raging Fist.

Sword technique against fist technique.

Sword against gauntlet.

Both were High Grade Yellow-tier Martial Arts, both were Low Grade Yellow-tier weapons, and both were at the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm.

Shen Xi and Gu Tong were evenly matched; neither could gain the upper hand.

"Hiss! Is this the combat power of these two after truly unleashing themselves?"

"Terrifying, it's truly too terrifying; in front of them, I am as weak as an ant."

"Retreat another hundred meters, otherwise, under the aftermath of the battle, we all might get injured."

"That's right, retreat, retreat, retreat!"

The onlookers quickly retreated.

They had originally thought they had sufficiently overestimated Shen Xi and Gu Tong, but now it seemed they had still underestimated them.

These two were ridiculously strong.

The only one still able to stand in place was the Savage Youth.

As they were all powerful individuals of the same level, they naturally wouldn't be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong; it's getting more and more interesting."

The Savage Youth looked at Shen Xi with immense admiration, increasingly believing that the other party deserved to be his opponent.

This level of strength qualified him to fight against himself.

"Do you think I'll stop here?"

At this moment, Gu Tong roared again.

A vast Fist Intent surged forth.

Fifth Level Sword Intent!

Similarly, his Concept was not affected by his self-crippling.

It was only natural for Gu Tong's Fist Intent to break through to the Fifth Level Sword Intent after Cultivating for an additional ten years.

One had to admit, he was indeed a Genius.

People with ordinary Aptitude, even if they Cultivated for an extra ten years, could not possibly enter the Dian Ling Realm, Cultivate a High Grade Yellow-tier Cultivation Technique to Perfection, and also comprehend Fifth Level Sword Intent.

This kind of combat power was terrifying.

Unfortunately, Gu Tong met Shen Xi.

A cheater.

Shen Xi smiled slightly and said, "Concept? I have also comprehended it!"

Fifth Level Sword Intent erupted!

Gu Tong had spent ten years to Cultivate these things to this level.

But Shen Xi, through cheating, had already reached the same height as Gu Tong.

Aside from not yet being able to Breakthrough to the Dian Ling Realm, his other 'software' was not inferior to the other party's.
