365: Temporary breakthrough, rapid increase in strength!

“Guo Feng, since you agreed to my life-and-death battle, your life has already reached its end.”

Tang Ru held a jade longsword, his robes fluttering.

He looked incredibly imposing.

As if victory was already in his grasp!

Guo Feng sneered, “You’re only at Ninth Grade Five, yet you’re so confident?”

“Do you think the Taiyi Sect is the same as the Six Harmonies Sect?”

Tang Ru chuckled, “If it was so difficult for you to defeat Lou Yu, then for me to kill you will be as easy as turning my hand!”

As he spoke, his aura surged dramatically.

Guo Feng sensed that this person had almost reached thirty million jin of strength, which meant that he was infinitely close to Ninth Grade Six!

Completely different from Lou Yu!

Guo Feng, however, laughed and said, “You might be strong, but you probably overestimate yourself too much.”

“Then stop talking nonsense and let’s begin!”

Tang Ru gave Guo Feng no chance; he was here with a mission this time!

To slay Guo Feng!

To avenge the Taiyi Sect!

And also to give face to another person, in exchange for immense benefits!

Therefore, Guo Feng had to die!

After he finished speaking, the jade sword in his hand flew into the sky, and its emerald sword energy shot fiercely towards Guo Feng.

The aura of this jade sword was so strong.

It instantly locked onto Guo Feng completely, moving incredibly fast, giving Guo Feng no time to react.

“Indeed stronger than Lou Yu!”

“However!”

“If you want to kill me, then wait to be killed by me!”

Guo Feng immediately sensed that Tang Ru’s strength was far above Lou Yu’s.

With his current strength, he was almost unable to resist this sword energy combat technique.

So, in just an instant, a barrier formed by the fusion of the Three Emperors' Power condensed in front of him.

And the shield of the Earth Sovereign True Body!

The opponent's sword energy struck these barriers fiercely, showing a tendency to shatter.

In just one move.

Guo Feng was completely suppressed by Tang Ru!

“With such strength, you still want to contend with me? That’s simply wishful thinking!”

Seeing this, Tang Ru sneered repeatedly.

Yet he remained unhurried.

He continuously attacked Guo Feng with sword energy, looking for an opportunity.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads.

Although Guo Feng’s strength was very strong, Tang Ru’s first move immediately made it clear.

The strength gap was too great!

“Heh heh.”

However, Guo Feng laughed.

Indeed, his current strength was not Tang Ru’s match.

Or rather, killing Tang Ru was almost impossible!

But—

He could upgrade!

This was the strategy he had already formulated when he agreed to the life-and-death battle with Tang Ru.

First, defend.

Then, upgrade!

And then, counter-kill!

“Panel!”

Earth Sovereign Qi, Fire Emperor Qi, and Water Sovereign Qi all reached 200%!

A prompt sound even came from his ear!

In an instant, his attributes surged, and his strength doubled.

“What?! You actually broke through?!”

And in that instant, Guo Feng’s aura continuously surged, attracting the attention of the experts present.

Including Tang Ru!

Tang Ru was full of questions at this moment!

Guo Feng was previously at Ninth Grade Two, but how did he instantly rise to the level of Ninth Grade Four?!

His strength improvement was more than just a little bit.

“What’s going on? Is this how one breaks through?”

Marquis Shenwei was also shocked.

One must know that every small realm in the Ninth Grade was extremely difficult, requiring continuous comprehension of one's ‘Dao’ to elevate the realm of the ‘Dao’.

Moreover, the further one progressed, the harder it became to cultivate.

Therefore, it was very normal for some people to be stuck in a small realm for decades.

Guo Feng was too outrageous!

“Isn’t breaking through like eating and drinking? When I first came to the Imperial Capital, I was only at Ninth Grade One.”

“I’ve been here for a few days; isn’t it very reasonable to break through to Ninth Grade Four?”

“You wouldn’t think that I’d also be stuck in a small realm for decades, would you?”

“Tang Ru, since you dare to challenge me and engage in a life-and-death battle with me, fine, I’ll satisfy you!”

“Ninefold Thunder Strike Slash, kill!”

At this moment, the power of Guo Feng’s Earth Sovereign True Body had greatly increased.

The Three Emperors' Qi had even directly broken through a realm.

Its power was now incomparable.

At this point, he even withdrew the barrier of the Three Emperors' Qi, directly using the Earth Sovereign True Body to withstand the opponent’s Jade Sword Seven Killing Technique!

Streaks of sword energy struck the Earth Sovereign True Body barrier on his body, producing clanging sounds.

Mars flew everywhere.

But for a while, it simply couldn't break his defense!

And the next moment, he instantly teleported above Tang Ru, raising his Minglong Spirit Blade.

And slashed down fiercely!

Ninefold blade lights instantly poured down.

“Not good, so strong!”

“How could this be?”

However, in that instant, Tang Ru’s hairs stood on end, and extreme fear arose in his heart!

A sense of despair spread over him!

He, an expert close to Ninth Grade Six, was completely powerless to resist Guo Feng’s single strike!

Because—

Guo Feng’s Three Emperors' Power realm surged, not only bringing a powerful increase in strength.

Moreover, the power of his spiritual energy greatly increased.

The amplification also surged.

Ninefold Thunder Strike Slash amplified by 81 times!

Three Emperors' Power amplified by a total of 120 times!

Minglong Spirit Blade amplified by 20 times!

Earth Sovereign True Body amplified by 30 times!

Twofold Spirit Talisman amplified by 2 times!

Fourth Grade Divine Sense amplified by 50 times!

This single strike of his was amplified by a full 303 times!

Even if the opponent’s realm had a bonus, even if the opponent’s power was still stronger than Guo Feng’s.

But—

Guo Feng’s power increase, spiritual energy power increase, and amplification increase.

The three superimposed.

How terrifying was that?

Boom boom boom boom!

In the blink of an eye, Guo Feng’s Ninefold blade lights had already slammed onto Tang Ru, who had turned pale with fright.

“Ah—”
