808 Probe (1/2)
Thump!
Gu Qixing kicked, causing a fellow calling himself North Sky Hero to be knocked out of the fighting ring.
”Too weak! You're too weak!”
He shook his head and sighed while looking at that grandmaster's face turn red as he escaped in embarrassment.
In fact, he had such qualifications.
After the battle with the Jiang family's patriarch, he had drawn a lesson from that bitter experience and made himself train harder. He had already reached first-grade grandmaster and was even unbeatable among the same age group, save one!
Blood Imbibing Saber Nangong Wuwang!
He had suddenly appeared and was like a sun that snatched away all radiance, causing the stars to lose their splendor.
But it's all right… Nangong Wuwang depends on the Blood Imbibing Saber and has unstable foundations. Who knows, maybe he's wrecked his vitality after using some unknown secret technique. In this year, he's been extremely low-profile. Keeping silent and laying low is clear proof… With a few more years, I'll definitely enter Heavenly Phenomenon and exceed him!
Gu Qixing's heart was filled with wild ambitions.
Compared to this, he was still more worried about the Six Dao Demon Sect's situation.
After the Heaven Deity Palace battle, Lady Temptress and Ghosteye had survived, but Sky Fiend Dao Master had truly passed away, resulting in chaos in the Demon Sect.
Just when they had recently recovered a little of their vitality, they were stepped on by a new female swordsman.
Otherwise, Curmudgeon Myriad Poisons would not have bullied the young and appeared on stage.
However, these foreign aggressions were trivial matters. What truly worried Gu Qixing were the internal problems.
He did not know if it was an illusion or not, but recently, he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the Demon Sect, as if there was some undercurrent hiding.
”… I am Stone Oaf… Wait! Shi Lei, and I've come to seek advice!”
Just as Gu Qixing was absent-minded, an honest and good-natured youth with thick brows and large eyes slowly climbed up onto the ring and stood opposite him.
”What happened?”
Gu Qixing frowned and glanced at the Demon Sect soldier closeby.
Although he was guarding here, not just anyone could be his opponent.
Seeing this, the soldier quickly signaled with his hands, causing Gu Qixing to understand immediately. A grandmaster. Defeated the previous two trials. Deeply hidden…
He looked at Shi Lei and slightly squinted as he said, ”Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger… I'll turn you into a real pig!”
Gu Qixing set his mind, his eyes emitting a cold light.
”Beat him! Beat him, Stone Oaf!”
Below the ring, Fu Hongmian was very excited. After thinking a bit, she unveiled her big move. ”If you don't win… I… I will ignore you!”
Whoooo!
This scene caused many spectators to laugh, also managing to slightly relieve the vicious currents in the ring.
”All right! All right!”
Shi Lei was flustered but still took out his weapon.
”This…”
Once the stone sword appeared, Gu Qixing's eyes were suddenly a little sluggish.
”Haha…” The whole scene became silent, then shortly after filled with laughter. ”That's a sword? It's obviously a stone pillar!”
”An immature and inexperienced child still dares to presumptuously come forward?”
…
The grandmasters defeated previously also criticized him without hesitation.
Even though they could see that Shi Lei truly had skill, they were still bitter and harsh because they certainly did not want this honest and good-natured fellow to beat Gu Qixing.
After all, Gu Qixing had defeated them. If he defeated Gu Qixing, it would mean that he was above them.
If it was a Pugilistic World elder or a famous chivalrous hero, it was still all right. But if it was a rash person like this, they were afraid that they would not be able to lift their heads in the future.
However, Gu Qixing did not laugh.
He realized that this honest and good-natured youth opposite him had instantly changed into another person after holding the stone sword.
He was steady and reserved, like jade just exposed after grinding a stone and could not wait to emit its radiance.
Chang!
His wrist shook and his long sword was unsheathed.
The Seven Stars Sword had been damaged years ago, and Gu Qixing's current sword was a sandalwood sword.
Compared to the nameless metal sword of the Jiang family's patriarch, he was undoubtedly a step further, reaching the realm of accepting wood as a sword.
”Please!”
The two moved into position, and Sword Qi suddenly permeated everywhere.
Although it was merely just this, many Pugilistic World elders changed their expressions and squarely faced this coming great battle.
”What a good swordsman. This spirit… reminds me of the previous generation's Sword Grandmaster!”
”After today's battle, Shi Lei's name will definitely spread throughout the Pugilistic World… It's only a nickname right, or is he really called Stone Oaf? This is too…”
”Gu Qixing also isn't simple. He was defeated by the common metal sword used by the Jiang family's patriarch, but today, he changed to using a wooden sword. This Sword Dao mastery is probably unique among the youths, and his ability must have exceeded the Petal Rinsing Divine Sword now!”
”A fierce battle between giants, it's really a fierce battle between giants!”
