Wang Yu
Chapter 913 Rumored Star Device
The encounter and duel of the chief disciples from the two cities in the third round naturally attracted special attention. The surrounding stands were almost packed, and everyone craned their necks, eager to witness the brilliance of the two.
Han Li also found a relatively less crowded spot under the stage, quietly watching.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, I benefited a lot from our battle back then. I thought I would have to wait until entering the top four to meet you, but I didn't expect to be able to compete with you now." Gu Qianxun looked at Fang Chan, her face without joy or sorrow, and said word by word.
"Yes, I am also very happy to compete with Fellow Daoist Gu again." Fang Chan at this moment had completely lost that foolish and dazed appearance. His eyes shone brightly, and his whole person exuded a high fighting spirit.
"Begin!" The referee on the side glanced at the two and announced loudly.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Qianxun stomped hard on the ground.
With a muffled "boom," a large hole exploded in the ground. Her figure was like an arrow leaving the string, instantly darting out more than ten zhang, arriving in front of Fang Chan. Her snow-white and petite fist smashed down, fiercely launching the attack first.
Twenty or thirty Mysterious Apertures on her arm lit up densely, and a powerful invisible force suddenly erupted.
The air within several zhang around instantly shattered, bursting out with terrifying hissing sounds, its power far greater than when facing Du Qingyang that day.
On the distant high platform, Chen Yang frowned upon seeing this scene.
Fang Chan had a unique talent, not only possessing that kind of sonic attack, but also extremely powerful physical strength. Among the participants of the Five Cities Martial Meet, he was second only to Zhu Ziyuan of Xuan City, with only his speed being slightly slower.
Gu Qianxun's frontal attack was tantamount to attacking his strengths with her weaknesses. She should have deployed her movement techniques and sought opportunities to attack.
A look of surprise appeared in Sun Tu's eyes, and then his brows furrowed slightly, and strange colors flickered in his eyes.
A strange look also flashed across Fang Chan's face, but his reaction was also not slow. His right arm moved, suddenly becoming blurred, and then a dark black fist blasted out like lightning.
In an instant, two fists, one black and one white, collided!
A booming sound exploded, and a powerful impact force erupted from between the two.
Fang Chan's expression changed, and his body retreated repeatedly, stepping back three steps. Each step left a deep footprint on the ground, and the nearby ground was even more cracked.
Chen Yang, Sun Tu, and the others changed their expressions upon seeing this scene, revealing shocked expressions. The surrounding crowd was even more in an uproar.
Gu Qianxun's sleeves trembled wildly, and with a "chi la" sound, they directly tore open, revealing her snow-white arm.
On her arm, she wore a seven-colored arm ring.
Twenty-one white spots flickered on the arm ring, exactly the same as Mysterious Apertures. The seven-colored arm ring was deeply embedded in Gu Qianxun's arm, and the two looked as if they had grown together.
The white spots on the seven-colored arm ring flickered with light at this moment, connecting with the light of the other Mysterious Apertures on Gu Qianxun's arm.
"Conjoined Star Instrument! Fellow Daoist Liu Hua, have you already researched it?" E Kui's calm face showed a trace of change when he saw the seven-colored arm ring, and he looked at Madam Liu Hua beside him.
"After nearly ten thousand years of exploration, I have finally achieved something." Madam Liu Hua said with a smile.
The bodies of the other people on the high platform shook upon hearing this.
A strange color flashed in Han Li's eyes, and then he looked towards the people on the high platform.
He also heard the conversation of the few people just now, as they did not use sound transmission. He had never heard of the so-called Conjoined Star Instrument.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the so-called Conjoined Star Instrument is to fuse the Star Instrument with the body, adding the power of the Star Instrument to the physical body. Unlike your Star Dipper Shield, using a Conjoined Star Instrument not only does not consume energy, but also increases the power of the physical body. For example, Gu Qianxun's arm ring is equivalent to adding twenty or so Mysterious Apertures out of thin air. In fact, this method only existed in rumors before, and it was only theoretically feasible." Chen Yang's voice sounded in Han Li's ear, explaining.
Han Li was enlightened upon hearing this, and looked at Madam Liu Hua with admiration. She was able to refine such a magical thing, worthy of being the number one refiner in the Jilin Void Realm.
However, in his opinion, this kind of Conjoined Star Instrument was probably not so easy to refine. The materials used for Gu Qianxun's arm ring should be related to the bloodline power of her mother's Illusionary Scale Rainbow Snake; otherwise, this thing should not be able to fuse with Gu Qianxun.
"Fellow Daoist Liu Hua's refining skills are truly miraculous. Sun admires you. However, I wonder what relationship you have with this Gu Qianxun, that you actually refined such a Conjoined Star Instrument for her?" Sun Tu looked at Madam Liu Hua and asked with narrowed eyes.
"I want to know for whom I refine weapons. Could it be that I still need to obtain City Lord Sun's approval?" Madam Liu Hua rolled her strange eyes and sneered unceremoniously.
"How dare Sun, Fellow Daoist Liu Hua, please don't misunderstand." Sun Tu glanced at E Kui and quickly said with a smile.
Madam Liu Hua snorted and ignored Sun Tu, continuing to watch the competition.
Not mentioning the discussion of the few people on the high platform, on the Profound Battle Stage, Gu Qianxun did not stop at all after one strike, and her figure rushed up like lightning again.
She shook her arm, and a stream of golden light darted out from her waist, but it was a section of golden bone chains.
These bone chains were connected to each other, and instantly transformed into a golden spear. The golden spear tip emitted a piercing shriek, bringing out streaks of afterimages, and stabbed towards Fang Chan's face.
Although Fang Chan was suppressed by Gu Qianxun in terms of strength, there was no trace of discouragement or fear on his expression. Instead, his fighting spirit was even higher, and the light in his eyes was even brighter.
He stepped hard on the ground, and his body shot backward, while simultaneously wiping his hands behind his back.
A black shadow flashed, and two black battle axes appeared in Fang Chan's hands, transforming into two black afterimages, smashing onto the golden spear tip.
With a loud "clang," the golden spear was deflected.
The surging power fluctuations impacted in all directions, and the people near the Profound Battle Stage could not stand firmly, and all retreated a few steps.
Gu Qianxun's body rotated and exerted force from her waist. The direction of the golden spear in her hand changed, from a direct stab to a horizontal sweep, sweeping towards Fang Chan's waist and abdomen. The change was extremely subtle.
Fang Chan shouted loudly, and his body spun around. One of the double axes in his hand faced the golden spear, while the other directly slashed at Gu Qianxun, forcibly launching a counterattack.
Gu Qianxun's body swayed violently, moving horizontally to the side. At the same time, the golden spear in her hand turned, instantly transforming into countless golden spear shadows, covering Fang Chan.
Fang Chan was not afraid at all, and directly plunged into the golden spear shadows. The two battle axes in his hand transformed into two black cyclones, flying around his body, blocking the attacks of the golden spears. At the same time, he counterattacked from time to time. His fighting style was extremely violent and fierce, as if he had changed into a different person compared to before.
The two immediately fought together, and the loud sounds of metal clashing exploded like dense raindrops. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of exchanges.
As a result, the two of them attacked with all their strength, without giving an inch. Soon, they were both injured.
Gu Qianxun had a half-foot-long wound on her lower abdomen, and Fang Chan was stabbed with two bowl-sized wounds on his body. However, neither of them paid any attention to it, only focusing on attacking with all their strength.
Spear shadows and ax light flashed, and large holes exploded in the ground from time to time. The entire Profound Battle Stage rumbled and shook, as if unable to withstand the power of the two.
Since the beginning of the Five Cities Martial Meet, there had never been such a fierce battle. The surrounding people were a little dazed as they watched.
Although Fang Chan tried his best to regain the upper hand, Gu Qianxun's physical strength was now above him, and her spear technique was even more exquisite. Even if he used all his strength, he was still at a slight disadvantage, and was constantly pushed back, quickly being forced to the edge of the Profound Battle Stage.
A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He swept the two axes horizontally, barely shaking off the golden spear. Then, he opened his mouth wide, and a layer of white crystal light suddenly appeared on his entire face. Especially near his nostrils, even more Mysterious Aperture light spots appeared. A heavy hum came from his nose.
With a "buzz"!
A white sound wave rushed out from his nose, spreading out in a fan shape, covering Gu Qianxun.
Gu Qianxun had obviously anticipated this move. The moment the white sound wave appeared, her figure immediately transformed into a blurred afterimage, moving horizontally to the side.
The white sound wave instantly spread out, covering a range of hundreds of zhang.
The people under the stage were also affected by the white sound wave. Although it had spread so far, the sound wave had become much thinner. Those who were enveloped by it immediately felt a numbness all over their bodies, their limbs stiff, and their breathing stopped.
Han Li's position was also within the range enveloped by the sound wave, and he was also enveloped by it. His whole body was wooden, and it was very difficult to move his fingers. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although Gu Qianxun dodged quickly, she still failed to completely avoid the white sound wave. She was swept by the aftermath, and her face immediately turned pale, and her figure immediately stiffened.
However, the next moment, her face suddenly turned blood red, and her body was the same. Her skin trembled constantly, as if something was窜动 underneath. Her stiff figure immediately recovered, and the golden spear in her hand shot out like a snake spitting out its tongue, almost instantly hitting Fang Chan's waist.
"朧胄术? No, Gu Qianxun has raised the circulation of Qi and blood to the extreme, forcibly dispersing the impact of the sound wave on her body." Under the Profound Battle Stage, Han Li's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself.
However, in his opinion, this method put a lot of burden on the body. He wondered how long Gu Qianxun's body could support it?
Fang Chan obviously did not expect that Gu Qianxun could immediately counterattack after being hit by his sound wave. He hurriedly dodged to the side.
However, his reaction was a moment too slow. With a "chi la" sound, he failed to completely dodge this attack, and a deep wound that revealed bone was cut out on his waist, and blood gushed out.
Fang Chan's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and a crackling muffled sound suddenly rang out in his body. His body swelled up violently, instantly becoming twice as large, and his skin became black and red. Even more, thick blue veins and knotted muscles appeared, shaking and trembling constantly.
His whole person instantly transformed into a humanoid beast, and the aura he exuded suddenly became more than twice as strong, spreading out like raging waves in all directions. The several wounds on his body quickly recovered.
Especially astonishing was that the white light that bloomed from the Mysterious Apertures on his body suddenly changed, transforming into a blood-red color. Then, these blood lights transformed into strange blood-colored gas currents, circling and dancing around his body.
The nearby space hummed and trembled, emitting a violent whistling sound, and the entire Profound Battle Stage also shook, and cracks appeared, as if it could not withstand Fang Chan's power at this moment.
This scene caused everyone in the surrounding stands to gasp.
On the high platform, Chen Yang and Sun Tu's expressions were a little dignified, and even E Kui's calm gaze contained a touch of interested brilliance.
