Chapter 1550 (2/2)

As everyone, including the Empyrean, was filled with absolute shock, another saber appeared in Guo Ran’s left hand, and he slashed it at the Empyrean’s waist.

BANG! The Empyrean hastily blocked it with his broadsword and was sent flying. The power within Guo Ran’s saber had felt like an exploding volcano, and he wasn’t able to fully block it.

“Die!” A metallic voice came from within the armor. Guo Ran’s voice sounded strange and much more frightening with his armor on.

His saber was like a shooting star as it streaked through the air. Countless runes appeared and saber-light grew. The full power of an Ancestral item was unleashed.

The Empyrean roared, and his primal chaos manifestation exploded into existence. He slashed his broadsword into Guo Ran’s saber, and an intense explosive sound rang out. As a result, he was once more blown back by Guo Ran.

“Guo Ran’s power stems from his armor. He isn’t affected by the Heavenly Dao suppression. That Empyrean will naturally lose when he fights against him in brute power,” said Gu Yang with a cold smile.

Guo Ran’s armor had been completely reworked. It was made of multiple Ancestral items that had been forged by him and nourished by his soul. They were all extremely loyal to him, which allowed him to unleash their full power.

As for that Empyrean’s Heavenly Dao energy, it was essentially useless. When Guo Ran fought, he didn’t rely on Heavenly Dao energy but the power of his armor.

The Dragonblood warriors understood this reasoning, but the others didn’t. All they saw was Guo Ran force back an Empyrean over and over again. He had completely suppressed him.

Before this, Yue Zifeng had injured Ye Qingkuang with one attack. That had been shocking enough, but some people felt that it had been a sneak attack, and that in a real fight, Yue Zifeng wouldn’t necessarily be able to receive a full-strength attack from an Empyrean.

However, now Guo Ran was completely suppressing an Empyrean in combat. That was absolutely shocking. They had never heard of a rank nine Celestial being capable of fighting against an Empyrean on even ground. They were supposed to be unable to resist in front of that absolute Heavenly Dao suppression.

Yue Zifeng and Guo Ran had toppled that thinking. They were both incredibly powerful.

Everyone stared at the two figures fighting in the air. They completely forgot about the flow of time.

They fought for six hours. The Empyrean tried different moves and even used many secret arts, but at best, he was only able to temporarily force back Guo Ran. He was quickly suppressed by Guo Ran time and time again, making him roar angrily.

“Idiot, is being an Empyrean so amazing? Did you think being an Empyrean made you special? Are you shouting like an animal because you’re in heat? Did you think having a divine item made you impressive?”

Guo Ran’s mouth didn’t slack off as he fought. He intentionally angered the Empyrean. If the Empyrean didn’t have a divine item in his hand, his situation would be even more miserable.

After a while of fighting, Guo Ran put away his sabers and fought with his fists. After all, he hadn’t had a real fight after creating this armor. He needed to get used to it, and it just so happened he had an Empyrean opponent to train himself with.

“Do you see this? I can fight you barehanded! Beating you is like beating a child! What are you so arrogant for?”

Guo Ran blocked the Empyrean’s sword with his fist and sent him flying with a kick.

The Empyrean coughed up a mouthful of blood. It wasn’t from the kick but from anger. He felt like he was about to go crazy from fury. Guo Ran was absolutely hateful. He was clearly armed to his teeth, but he said he was fighting barehanded. That was too shameless.

Seeing the Empyrean cough up blood, everyone jumped in shock. They didn’t know it was from anger. They thought he was injured.

“This Guo Ran is so powerful! He’s actually able to injure an Empyrean as a rank nine Celestial!”

“You can’t put it that way. There’s most likely something strange with his armor. This kind of unorthodox path can’t lead to anywhere great,” countered someone else.

However, no matter how they put it, even if Guo Ran was relying on external strength, he was still a rank nine Celestial who had forced an Empyrean to this point. That was enough to be proud of.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, if it weren’t for your d.a.m.n turtle sh.e.l.l, I’d kill you with a single slas.h.!.+” raged the Empyrean.

“Idiot, if you weren’t an Empyrean, I’d drown you with a single p.i.s.s,” retorted Guo Ran as he met his attacks.

Amongst the crowd, Yue Zifeng nodded. Guo Ran’s ability to stall for time was truly amazing. Hours had pa.s.sed without anyone noticing the flow of time.

However, the thing that was a bit worrisome wasn’t Guo Ran, it was Meng Qi. Even after this long, she was still busy blocking the curse. It was too difficult to deal with it. It was like it had its own life and refused to be purged.

“This is too boring. I can’t wait any longer. Let’s kill a few people for fun!” Suddenly, Peng Wansheng stood up amongst the ancient race experts and began walking over to Long Chen’s camp.
