Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431: Gu Sheng Takes Action (3/4) Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431: Gu Sheng Takes Action (3/4) Blackie’s combat experience fully came to light at this moment.

The instant Yi Che shifted his position, Blackie concentrated his gaze on observing the remaining Holy Light Butterflies in the arena.

As soon as he locked onto Yi Che, Blackie immediately kicked in his direction!

Yi Che’s expression was grave; he had no intention of toughing it out, as the opponent’s irresistible physical strength was just too powerful.

Moreover, using the Golden Light Gathering Split was more likely to inflict damage on Blackie!

Without delay, Yi Che’s figure disappeared once more!

Blackie’s flying kick landed squarely on the platform.

Even considering the platform’s sturdiness, it didn’t crack or dent, but it did shudder three times!

After changing his position, Yi Che’s complexion turned ugly. With both hands pointing toward Blackie, surprisingly, fifteen butterflies now surrounded Blackie!

“Die!”

As his voice dropped, a snapping sound echoed.

Upon seeing this, Blackie immediately called back the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd, gripping it in his hands.

Golden light suddenly engulfed Blackie, Yi Che, and the entire platform.

The glow lasted long enough for a cup of tea to brew before it gradually ceased.

But when the golden light faded,

Yi Che stood in the air, his face slightly pale.

And Blackie?

Looking at the tall, dark-skinned man on the platform, the pupils of the spectators from the Holy Light Academy and Yi Che slowly dilated.

Blackie’s hands had already recovered, holding the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd, from which threads of black demonic qi were released, wrapping around Blackie’s body.

It seemed that the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd had withstood the blow for Blackie.

Now, there were only eleven Holy Light Butterflies left on the platform.

Yi Che’s complexion was unsightly as he stared fixedly at Blackie. He never anticipated that facing an Ancestral Realm Intermediate Stage body cultivator would turn out like this.

Blackie’s actions didn’t stop there; wielding the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd, he leapt up and swept it horizontally toward Yi Che!

Yi Che repeated his trick and switched places again.

But with only eleven butterflies left on the platform, and fewer places to switch to, Blackie locked onto Yi Che’s position in an instant.

With a low growl, he originally swung the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd; but at that moment, he turned around, his hands loosening and the Halberd once again hurled out, crashing toward Yi Che!

Yi Che’s face turned ghastly; he was too worn out, and the dreadful power of the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd left him no choice but to keep switching positions.

Yet, at this moment, Blackie’s fist abruptly closed in!

This time, there was no chance for a swap; Blackie’s fist landed directly on Yi Che’s chest.

A crisp snapping sound rang out as ribs broke!

Yi Che’s body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

Blood sprayed into the air.

The remaining Holy Light Butterflies began to fade.

Yi Che lay on the ground, trembling as he extended a hand and said with difficulty, “I… concede.”

Even with eleven butterflies still left, after taking a full-strength punch from Blackie, Yi Che’s remaining energy, already less than 50%, was completely drained.

Below, the people from the Holy Light Academy looked even more displeased.

One could say that in their plan, the first step had already failed.

Yi Che’s Golden Light Gathering Split was also a skill that Miao Youzhi thought would wear down Gu Sheng a bit more.

People around looked at Blackie on the platform, holding the Halberd, drenched in blood, and their eyes were full of shock.

His opponent was at the late stage of the Ancestor Realm, a cultivator of the Dao Law of Sword with control over such a troublesome skill as the Golden Light Gathering Split, and Blackie, at the intermediate stage of the Ancestor Realm, had managed to win?

This is simply too heaven-defying, isn’t it?

Just when everyone thought Blackie would continue to hold the fort,

they saw Blackie walk straight down from the platform and return to the area where Mixed Spirit Academy was located.

The strike that the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd had just withstood drained a significant portion of his blood strength, leaving Blackie in an extremely weakened state.

However, if it weren’t for the protection of the Nine Heavenly Demon Halberd, Yi Che’s last strike might have seriously injured him…

Even losing the match altogether was not impossible.

Blackie gasped for air, his face devoid of any color, and said, “I need to rest.”

After speaking, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate after taking a few medicinal pills.

Without much time for respite,

another person from Holy Light Academy took to the stage.

This was another one of the four cultivators of the Dao Law of Light. An up and comer who was unknown five years ago, but one day, he suddenly had an epiphany about the Dao Law of Light and broke through to the Ancestor Realm Peak!

That was when Gu Lin’s name became known to everyone.

Gu Lin cast his gaze directly upon Gu Sheng and said, “How about it, come up for a fight?”

Qin Chi furrowed his brows, just about to step up, when he was stopped by Gu Sheng, who shook his head gently and said, “You are not his match.”

“Their aim is probably to take you down first,” Qin Chi guessed.

Gu Sheng smiled: “Taking me down will come at a great cost, but even if I lose, Mixed Spirit Academy definitely won’t.”

As he said this, Gu Sheng glanced at Mu Fusheng.

Gu Sheng had always kept an eye on Mu Fusheng’s strength and had also always felt that Mu Fusheng had never used his full strength.

Gu Sheng always trusted his intuition.

At this time, Tan Zongzhao also smiled and said, “I also think Brother Gu Sheng is right.”

Qin Chi frowned deeply, “This seat in the competition is too important, it’s better to play it safe.”

However, before he finished speaking,

Gu Sheng had already appeared on the platform.

Gu Sheng was still wearing a woven straw hat, a green blade of grass in his mouth, looking at Gu Lin with a light smile, “What’s the matter, wasn’t it only two and a half years ago that I defeated you? Looking to be masochistic again?”

Gu Lin’s face darkened as he snorted, “Two and a half years ago was the past, I am different now.”

“How could you be any different?”

“You’ll know when we fight!” As the last word was still not fully settled, Gu Lin drew a half-circle with his palm towards the front!

Behind him, streaks of golden light coalesced into swords.

For a moment, the entire space above the platform, behind Gu Lin, was filled with countless golden swords floating densely in the air—probably more than a thousand!

Gu Sheng showed no surprise, instead he yawned and said, “This hasn’t changed, has it? The swords have just multiplied a bit, is there any qualitative improvement?”

Immediately after, he embraced the moon with both hands, reaching toward the direction of Gu Lin.

In no time, black astral winds began to rise from nowhere around Gu Lin!

Gu Lin seemed to have anticipated this.

At the same level as Gu Sheng, he displayed strength in no way inferior to him.

The thousands of golden light swords converged like a rain of swords, forming a river of swords, like a sword dragon, charging toward the astral wind!

The roar of the sword dragon was like the roar of a dragon.

The speed of the sword dragon was extremely fast.

Trailing golden flames at its tail, it weaved through the astral winds.

Gu Sheng was slightly surprised, “The Dao Law of Light and the Dao Law of Sword perfectly fused? It seems you haven’t wasted these two and a half years.”

“But…” Gu Sheng then let out a light chuckle: “I couldn’t possibly have been standing still for these two and a half years…”
