Chapter 152: Lu Guhong of the Mist Land (2/2)

“Problem?” Lu Yun stood atop the Spiritrial Arena. “Then fight.”

Lü Guhong shook his head slightly. “Get off the arena, then we’ll fight.” Contempt filtered into his gaze. “Those who reign sovereign should indomitably push themselves forward and rise above all others. There’s nothing to be had in huddling in a greenhouse, under the protection of the rules.”

“Hahaha!” Lu Yun laughed heartily at the words and leapt out of the arena. “That’s just as well. I will kill you outside the arena and have you die with no regrets!”

The governor retaliated in kind and gave as good as he got.

Lü Guhong was a peak transformed spirit cultivator, much more powerful than Lu Yun’s initial nascent spirit cultivation. In the challenger’s eyes, however, there was no difference between insects and dragons.

“Hold!” Mo Qitian stepped forward. “Senior brother Lu has fought a few battles already. He must be tired. Allow me to face the top genius of Mist at this time.”

“This is my turf and I am the reason for this fight.” Lu Yun shook his head. “I have yet to be defeated, which means I’m still the champion of this arena. I should be the one to accept this challenge.”

“Do whatever any of you wish to.” Contempt colored Lü Guhong’s face. “All five of you can attack me at the same time, for all I care.”

Wu Tulong and the others didn’t even raise an eyebrow at his provocation.

“Then we leave it in your capable hands, senior brother.” Dongfang Hao moved back and stopped Mo Qitian from speaking. With a smile, he said, “Don’t lose face for the human race in front of monster spirits.”

After a pause, Mo Qitian inclined his head.

“You’ve just undergone a big fight,” Guhong proclaimed. “I can give you an hour to recover your stamina.”

“No need.” Lu Yun shook his head and smoothed his clothes. “I was just testing my technique on a piece of trash. That didn’t take that much of a toll on me.”

In the arms of his sect, Zhao Tiefeng had just recovered consciousness with the aid of a pill. Lu Yun’s words made his eyes roll back into his head, fainting again from anger.

“This place is too small. Fight me in the sky!” Purple light rose from Lu Yun’s body and he vanished into thin air.

Immortals and cultivators alike hurriedly took flight to keep an eye on the proceedings.

“Oh?” Lu Yun soared three thousand meters into the sky, only to find his opponent already waiting for him.

“You’re too slow.” Guhong shook his head slightly at the governor’s slow arrival. “I’ll kill you in three moves.”

Before Lu Yun could respond, the monster spirit raised his spear and attacked, moving so quickly that he became a blur of green light.

So fast! Lu Yun’s pupils contracted as purple radiance flashed before him, blocking the ferocious strike just in the nick of time. Before he could sigh in relief, another flash of green light pierced toward him from an angle where his opponent shouldn’t be.

Clink!

Violet sword energy once again blocked the attack.

Lü Guhong reappeared before Lu Yun, his eyes tinged with surprise.

He wants to kill me through speed? Lu Yun laughed inwardly. Aoxue is ten times faster than this punk! He’d undergone years of grueling boot camps with the dragon princess in hell. Lü Guhong wasn’t going to defeat him like this.

“You have one more move.” Lu Yun beamed merrily. “If you fail to kill me, I’m going to start fighting back.”
