Chapter 38 (2/2)
If someone looked carefully within these ripples, they were all incomparably compact bullets. Meanwhile, the four walls of spiritual power were the same as the front of Gao Ye, simultaneously suffused with several millions of ripples! The several millions of bullets bombarded at the same time, concurrently arriving at a magnificent spectacle!
”Haaa…” Xu Yangyi inhaled deeply and took his hand out. Powerful… As expected, Chu Zhaonan was very powerful! Arcane efforts weren't something they could access, but treasure blades would be put into the hands of brave warriors. Evidently, Chu Zhaonan was that man of bravery. This was his true strength! A split second ago, killing intent had filled the open s.p.a.ce! Every ripple was a true streak of murderous will. If it weren't for Shadowslay taking action to obstruct it, then perhaps Gao Ye would've died already by now!
”Buzz...” Shadowslay waved his hand and the four walls of spirit force dissipated into white spiritual energy, but the bullets that had been ”stopped” in midair by the spiritual energy walls finally fell down with a jingling noise at this instant. The sound was clear and crisp like small and big pearls raining down on a jade platter. A floral shower of countless bullets rained down upon Chu Zhaonan's surroundings! It was merely this floral shower was a fatal one, even bringing with it hissing white smoke caused by radiating severe friction. It was a perfect curtain call.
A drop of cold sweat on the tip of Gao Ye's nose fell onto the ground. Heaven knows that at the final instant, he had nearly believed himself to have died. Bullets without limit… A genuine forest of guns and raining bullets! It was as if several million reapers had brandished their sickled and coming charging at him while screeching! How was Life Sacrification coupled with Turtle Burdens supposed to resist this?
”Tianfeng City, Chu Zhaonan wins.” Firecloud's voice echoed out, shaking everyone present from this stylish feast of slaughter out of their stupor. Yet in the next second, a familiar sound like that of a crumbling biscuit swiftly pervaded everyone's ears.
”It's not…” An old man raised his head in astonishment.
”Real or fake…” A middle-aged woman uneasily s.h.i.+fted her Chanel bag and looked at the suddenly shaking stone steles in stupefaction.
”Nantong Province's luck… is too good this time? First there was that fiend Xu, and now a second fiend has appeared?”
”Another person has broken the stone steles of past graduations apart?”
”Heavens… This does the Nantong Province branch proud. Two fiends in a row!”
The sound of cracking rang out progressively, and subsequently, four stone steles shattered apart with a rumble! Eighteen stone steles were violently swaying back and forth!
No one spoke.
Among the light pillars of the disintegrated stone steles, Chu Zhaonan looked proudly at Xu Yangyi from the stage above. Xu Yangyi raised his head, looking at his counterpart bereft of the slightest concession with a warring gaze. This was a declaration of war. This was an honest-to-G.o.d battle challenge! He, Xu Yangyi, had roused a hundred percent of Chu Zhaonan's fighting will!
Xu Yangyi had settled his battle in three seconds before. His style was crude, barbaric, and unreasonable.
Chu Zhaonan had settled his battle in thirty seconds after. His style was polished, graceful, and untainted by even an iota of dust. Within the gathering of ten thousand flowers, not a single petal had touched his body. Among the pitter patter of infinite bullets, the will to fight had ascended to the pinnacle in the eyes of these two.
Cultivation was originally a contest of all living things, a path that present situations that they were! Only the most suitable opponent was capable of sharpening one's own skill, willpower, and one's strength to an even higher level!
They both understood this principle. At this instant, they seemed to have caught sight of each other as predestined rivals. Their styles were different and their timings was different, but their strength and fierceness flowed together in a similar vein. Chu Zhaonan raised his hand and sliced it across his throat, licking his lips. He hadn't even looked at Gao Ye's face which was deathly ashen.
The students watching this scene turned their gazes to Xu Yangyi. It was because they understood it very clearly… These two people were cut from the same cloth, the strong and the monstrous. Their opponents would not be them by any means! It was without question that Chu Zhaonan was not looking at them. A monster… should compete against monsters! And combat other monsters!
”I'll be waiting for you.” Xu Yangyi's brows didn't move. It appeared the present pitter patter of raining bullets wasn't the same as Chu Zhaonan's background. He could've concealed it, could've relied on the Hundred Solutions, but he hadn't. Rather, he had taken out his own impressive hidden card, demanding for battle!
If you want a fight, then I shall satisfy you! You desire a battle where you can fight to your heart's content and dye your fist with blood. I, Xu Yangyi, look forward to an expert I can stand shoulder to shoulder with, as well!
”You're not worried?” A voice abruptly emerged from Xu Yangyi's surroundings, that of a woman's. Her stature was not tall, and she could not be considered rather beautiful.
”Why should I be worried?” Xu Yangyi raised a brow and replied.
”That's an arcane effort none of us have ever seen! This kid is cheating!” The woman said hatefully: ”We're going to go together and make an appeal to the Foundation Establishment seniors! This is illegal! He's cheating! He secretly learned other arcane efforts!”
Xu Yangyi stowed his gaze away from Chu Zhaonan's body, glancing pitifully at her: ”So, all of you can only be the hare. Your heart is without sword, but your sword on the outside is hale, s.h.i.+ning, and sharp…” He fished out a lighter and leisurely lit a cigarette, satisfiedly taking a drag: ”but you can only be the hare.”
He answered the woman no longer, placing his sight on the present cultivation families, their faces excited as if they went mad. Wither another glance, he saw the excitedly standing personnel of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion, Featherwood Guard, and CSIB. He ought to have accepted such courtesy. The strong had never wanted for false modesty. He laughed as he flicked his cigarette ash, an incomparably resolute thought within his heart now.
This is a man that only I am capable of breaking! Besides myself, there are none that can muster a shred of threat to him!
He was quite sure that Chu Zhaonan also had this same thought within his heart.
