115: Chapter 115 The Renaissance?
At this moment, Gu Xiao could no longer care about anything; his entire being was filled with an aura of violence.
He moved at extreme speed, cutting the distance of several dozen zhang in half in the blink of an eye. His right hand was clenched into a fist, his knuckles cracking loudly, and veins bulged from the back of his hand all the way up to his forearm.
Seeing Gu Xiao charging toward him, the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth flicked his blue bangs and waited for Gu Xiao to rush up.
Gu Xiao had already arrived in front of him, his right fist thrusting forward wrapped in a gust of wind.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth dodged to the side, then reached into his pants pocket and threw out a large cloud of lime powder.
The lime powder obstructed Gu Xiao's vision. Although Gu Xiao was furious, his reason remained intact, and he knew he could not gain any advantage within this cloud of dust, so he immediately retreated.
Just as Gu Xiao was about to exit, a leg suddenly kicked out at him.
Gu Xiao raised his arms to block the leg and let out a muffled grunt. He was kicked backward, sliding several feet, his soles plowing two white marks into the bluestone floor.
The lime powder continued to drift in the air, creating a white haze where nothing could be seen.
Gritting his teeth, he tried to withdraw from the lime powder, but the dust seemed to have a mind of its own, constantly surrounding Gu Xiao.
Within the dust, fierce strikes from fists and feet came from all directions. Although Gu Xiao parried them all, he remained at a disadvantage the entire time.
It was at this moment that a strong gust of wind swept in from behind, blowing away all the dust, and Gu Xiao finally had a chance to catch his breath.
"Damn it, are you trying to start a Renaissance these days?"
"That 'shamate' non-mainstream style is stuff from over twenty years ago, and it's still popping up now."
Lu Xingyun held a talisman between his fingers, which was glowing faintly; the gust of wind from just moments ago was summoned by him.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth remained very composed and reached into his pants pocket again. "Judging by your ages, you both came from that era, so you must be familiar with this, right?"
"That's for sure. Back in the day, who wasn't a 'shamate'? Gather at the entrance of the village, bring your own cement."
Lu Xingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "But you're still missing one thing."
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth let out an 'oh' and asked, "Missing what?"
"It would be best if you had a chain hanging from your jeans; that would be correct. Back then, because of the influence of 'Young and Dangerous,' everyone had to hang one of those things. And what about your 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens'?"
While he was engaging in verbal sparring with the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth, he was quietly activating several talismans behind the scenes. At the same time, he exchanged glances with Gu Xiao, silently finalizing a battle plan.
Although the regions they governed were different, they were old partners who had fought their way through countless battles together, so they possessed at least that much tacit understanding.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth laughed. "I really don't have a chain, but I do have 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens'."
With that, a powerful piece of music began to play. The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth pulled out a speaker from who knows where, and it was playing the most unique music of that era, 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens'.
"Ladies and gentlemen, coming up next is a song called 'Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens'!"
Lu Xingyun was stunned. "He actually f*cking has it. He brought his own BGM."
But soon, he realized something was wrong. This powerful music possessed a special power, and it was stirring up his own battle emotions.
"Old Gu." Lu Xingyun's eyes turned cold.
Gu Xiao, having already coordinated with him, kicked off the ground, his entire body shooting toward the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth like a cannonball.
At the very moment Gu Xiao charged out, Lu Xingyun behind him activated the ready-prepared talismans. The talismans ignited without fire, transforming into several bolts of white lightning around Gu Xiao, like white spirit snakes pouncing and biting toward the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth.
Seeing this, the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth pulled the speaker in front of him and scattered a thick layer of lime in front of him.
This dust immediately turned into a barrier, blocking all the white lightning. Gu Xiao, having charged into the dust, began fighting the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth once again.
Those members of the Guiliu Society who had entered with the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth did not just stand by and watch; they rushed from all directions toward Lu Xingyun, who was drawing talismans in the void.
This was an extremely chaotic battle.
The powerful music stirred the fighting emotions of everyone, causing them to ignore various combat tactics and techniques, slowly turning them into beasts that fought based on instinct.
Lu Xingyun was further away, so the degree of influence was limited; he could still overcome those instincts to continue drawing talismans and fight against these people from the Guiliu Society.
Gu Xiao's situation inside the dust was not as good. Having already been enraged upon seeing this group from the Guiliu Society, combined with the music that could stir battle emotions and the half-demon blood within his body, Gu Xiao had turned into a monster that fought entirely on instinct.
Regardless of whether it was a cultivator or a martial artist, if only the instinct to fight remained, with only the most primitive wildness left, then there was no difference from a beast.
The cultivation techniques, skills, and combat styles they prided themselves on completely ceased to exist; every punch was thrown based on instinct.
There were ten thousand ways to deal with these people.
Seeing Gu Xiao slowly lose all rationality within the lime powder, the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth thought victory was in his grasp. But just as he blocked a punch from Gu Xiao, he saw the bloodshot vertical pupils beneath the nuo mask on Gu Xiao's face!
That kind of vertical pupil was absolutely impossible to appear on a human.
"Is this even human?" The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth felt a shock in his heart.
Immediately after, Gu Xiao responded with an extremely wild and primitive attack.
Having lost his reason, Gu Xiao had no method to his movements, but the half-demon blood in his body had been activated; his speed was faster, and his strength had increased by a level compared to before.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth was soon unable to parry, made a mistake, and was punched in the chest by Gu Xiao, sending him flying out of the lime powder.
Gu Xiao did not stop in place but shot out like an arrow from a bowstring. In the split second before the Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth landed, he grabbed the opponent's ankle and dragged him forcefully toward the ground.
'Boom!' With a dull, loud thud, a shallow pit was smashed into the ground. The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth's back slammed solidly against the floor, and a large mouthful of blood surged from his mouth.
That head of long blue hair spread out, covering half his face, and the single eye that was revealed was filled with terror.
Gu Xiao straddled him, throwing punches down at extreme speed!
Seeing this scene, the few members of the Guiliu Society who were entangled with Lu Xingyun immediately turned to save him. However, Lu Xingyun was no pushover; in the gap when they turned their heads, he drew a Fire-element talisman.
A fire dragon appeared out of thin air, chased after them, and devoured the person running at the very back.
The few Guiliu Society members who ran over attacked from several directions, and Gu Xiao quickly dodged.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth was finally saved; his body was covered in a thin layer of lime powder, which was helping him heal his injuries.
"We're no match for them, should we retreat?" one person asked.
The Blue-haired Non-mainstream Youth gritted his teeth. "We've only just entered, we can't retreat. Where is Lu Shuang? Has she hidden herself again?"
Only then did the few of them realize that Lu Shuang, who had entered with them, was nowhere to be found.
