Yun Che's words made Tian Guhu's eyes narrow slightly. The snorts and low laughs around him instantly became several times louder. All pairs of eyes quickly moved away from Yun Che, not even bothering to look at him again.
Tian Guhu's smile was a little more self-deprecating, and his voice became a little lighter: "It seems that even if you are a clown, I still overestimate you."
At this moment, Tian Guhu himself and the people around him all felt deeply that this guy, who was so disgraceful that the word "shameful" was not enough to describe, was not qualified for Tian Guhu to take action even though he was a seventh-level god.
Tian Guhu's initiative to stand up has lowered his own status and style.
"But...very good." Tian Guhu nodded slowly, not even bothering to say a word of ridicule: "Then three moves, I will completely fulfill your wish."
He held up three fingers, and his expression and words were many times more contemptuous than before: "As long as you can survive three moves by me, I will consider you the winner. Do you have anything else to say?"
Yes, as a seventh-level god, he needs three moves to defeat "Ling Yun"!
Such words, such courage, and such strength can only be possessed by Tian Guhu.
It is also the most arrogant response to this "Lingyun" and the most thorough trampling.
Yun Che glanced at him, his eyes sweeping away ants: “Tian Guhu, you seem to have made a mistake. I mean, if you can survive three moves without being defeated by me, then you win.”
As soon as these words came out, the Imperial Heavenly Palace fell silent for a moment, and then a burst of extremely violent laughter broke out. Even those high-ranking realm kings were grinning and their eyebrows were twitching.
“By the way, I will grant you another gift.” Amid the wanton laughter, Yun Che’s tone remained casual and low: “After three moves, as long as you can still stand up, you will be the winner.”
"Heh..." Tian Guhu's mouth twitched, revealing perhaps the most helpless and contemptuous smile in his life.
"It's outrageous to waste so much time on such a lunatic!" Huo Tianxing said coldly.
"It's very interesting, isn't it?" The Viper Saint still had a smile on his face.
“Hahahahahaha!” Fen Yue Emperor’s son Fen Jieran laughed so hard that his waist bent backwards and he almost fell to the ground.
If Yun Che was a funny clown in everyone’s eyes before, then now, the way they looked at Yun Che was like they were looking at a completely crazy clown.
If Tian Gu Hu could defeat a person of the same level in three moves, it would not be a cause of ridicule. But if a person of the same level could defeat Tian Gu Hu in three moves... This would probably be the most ridiculous joke in the entire Northern Divine Region's profound way.
"Gu Hu, hurry up and finish it." Tian Mu said, obviously ridiculous, but impatient in his heart. Facing such a stupid and crazy seventh-level god, even if Tian Gu Hu won with one move, it would not be glorious, but dirty.
"Yes, father." Tian Guhu's expression was completely restrained, returning to an indifferent state. His change of expression also invisibly moved the emotions of everyone, making Huang Tianque quiet in an instant, and all eyes were firmly focused on him.
"Since this is a gambling battle concerning honor and dignity," a dry and low voice suddenly sounded. It was Yan Sangeng, the leader of the Yama world, "then it should not be interfered with by any external forces, let alone investigated afterwards. What do you think?"
There is no doubt that Yan Sangeng's words were meant for Yaodie to hear.
Among the three kings realms, the Royal Heaven Realm and the Yama Realm have the closest contacts, so it is not surprising that Yama San would say this.
"Don't worry, King Yama." The Viper Saint narrowed his eyes and said, "Except for some ridiculous scoundrels, everyone present is a well-known figure and would not do such a despicable act that humiliates their status."
Everyone agreed.
"That's right." The one who said this was the witch Yaodie. "What I hate most in the Soul Stealing Realm is meanness! This is a bet set by both parties. Since I am here to witness it, I will not tolerate any injustice... If anyone dares to cover up, cheat, interfere, or investigate afterwards, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
The words of the demon butterfly made the whole audience fall into silence.
What Yan Sangeng said was to prevent Yaodie from helping Yun Che openly or secretly, because she must have had some special reason for inviting Yun Che and the other two.
However, she did not expect that her words would be several times more cruel than Yan Sangeng's.
After the shock brought by the witch's voice, everyone in the Royal Heaven Realm felt completely relieved because the last trace of worry had completely dissipated.
"Let's start." Yan Sangeng said.
"You make your move." Tian Guhu put his hands behind his back while speaking. Facing an opponent who was at the same level as him and who needed three moves to defeat, he did not show his weapon, but instead showed his empty sword.
Even the mysterious energy was not flowing.
This was not foolish arrogance, but the courage and confidence that belonged only to him, Young Master Gu Hu... as well as extreme contempt.
Yes, he had never been so contemptuous of anyone.
Yun Che did not move, nor did he reveal his weapon or condense his profound energy.
"Forget it." Tian Guhu muttered in a low voice, pointed his finger, and a black light flashed between his fingers. Then, deep purple lightning was torn apart in the black light: "This boring game, let's end it now."
Before the voice fell, the space suddenly darkened, black air filled the air, but the sky was filled with purple light. As a Northern Region Mystic, Tian Guhu's dark and lightning mystic power were both at the pinnacle. In just a moment, everyone present changed color.
Tian Guhu could defeat a fellow Divine Lord in three moves, but it was definitely not easy. Therefore, no matter how contemptuous his opponent was in his attitude, he would never show his strength.
“This… is this really the power of a seventh-level God?” The one who shouted this was a core figure from the upper star realm. With his cultivation base as high as a tenth-level God, he had already stood up, his face filled with shock.
Tian Gu Hu's name was known throughout the Northern Divine Region, and even the other three Divine Regions knew about it. However, after growing to the middle and late stages of the Divine Sovereign Realm, not many people had seen him use his full strength. And when he did, the pressure he exerted made all the Level 10 Divine Sovereigns feel a clear sense of oppression.
As for those profound practitioners who were obviously at a similar realm, they were suffocated directly, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.
"It seems that Gu Hu is ready to crush him to death in an instant." Tian Mu said calmly. There was no trace of worry on his calm face.
Tian Muhe, the great elder of Huangtian, snorted coldly: "It's a blessing for Ling Yun to be alive until now. Is there any need to give him any face? Just kill him and put an end to it all."
"Kneel down."
Tian Guhu said softly, and his figure disappeared the moment the last syllable fell, leaving only a dark thunder exploding across the sky.
Snap!
Lightning flashed suddenly, tearing a black mark a thousand feet long horizontally in the Imperial Sky Palace. Thousands of lightning bolts were roaring and shining in the black mark. Any one of them, even a single one, contained the terrifying power to destroy mountains and peaks.
Tian Guhu's figure appeared at the place where Yun Che was before, and the black mark behind him did not disappear for a long time. However, his expression changed. He no longer had the contempt and calmness he had before, but was only shocked.
The next moment, he turned around abruptly. In his sight, Yun Che was standing at the same position where Tian Guhu had been before. His face was expressionless, his hands were still behind his back, and his standing posture was no different from before. Even his long hair and sleeves did not seem to be fluttering.
Everything was in an unacceptable contrast to Tian Guhu's stunned expression.
"What's going on?" Tian Mu stood up, his face full of shock.
No one answered him. Everyone around him had a look of astonishment on their faces. Even Yan Sangeng's gaze froze, and the casual smile of Young Master Fenyue froze on his face for a moment.
Given the heights of the experts present, they had all seen advanced body movement skills. But just now, none of them saw clearly how Yun Che moved.
Moreover, under the suppression of Tian Guhu's ridiculously strong aura, it would become extremely difficult for Xuan practitioners of the same level to even move, let alone teleport.
However, Yun Che was able to move instantly under Tian Gu Hu's power, and was apparently unharmed. His demeanor and aura were so calm that it was terrifying... How on earth did he do it?
The demon butterfly raised its delicate head slightly and narrowed its eyes slightly.
“First move.” Yun Che spoke coldly, and when Tian Guhu heard this, his eardrums actually vibrated uncomfortably.
"Master Tian, did you see his movements clearly?" Huo Tianxing said in a deep voice.
Tian Mu shook his head.
“This is a bit unbelievable.” Huo Tianxing also stood up slowly and looked at Yun Che with an uncertain expression.
“The profound energy that was flowing when he was teleporting just now shows that he is undoubtedly a Level 7 Divine Lord.” The Viper Saint Lord said calmly, “If I am not mistaken, there was a momentary aura of icy air just now.”
“Ice?” Tian Mu frowned. “There are very few profound practitioners in the Northern Divine Region who practice ice, and they focus more on defense than on physical skills…”
As Tian Mu was speaking, Tian Gu Hu’s body had already turned around and faced Yun Che again. His expression had returned to being calm. The profound energy that had been restrained just now was released with all his strength in an instant, creating a rapidly expanding dark vortex around him.
Tian Mu stopped talking and snorted, "Forget it, Gu Hu doesn't need me to worry about him."
“Very good.” Tian Guhu’s long hair fluttered, his eyes were alternately purple and black, and his aura shocked the hearts of the mystics one after another: “Your strange body movements, which I have never seen before, actually made me embarrassed for a moment. It seems that I underestimated you.”
“However, if your arrogant and domineering capital is your physical skills…” Tian Guhu’s brows slightly sank: “That’s too disappointing.”
Snap!
A purple thunderclap struck, and the heaven and earth rumbled. Everyone looked up subconsciously, only to find that an incomparably large dark thunder domain had spread across the sky, extending over a space of a hundred miles.
Without giving Yun Che any chance to react or escape, Tian Guhu pointed his finger and the thunder domain sank, instantly engulfing the space where he and Yun Che were, turning half of the Imperial Sky Palace into a boiling sea of thunder.
Obviously, the first move ignited Tian Guhu's anger, and he gave everything in this dark thunder domain.
No matter how skilled one's body movements were, there was no way to avoid the huge thunder field that spread out in just a few breaths. Yun Che did not move, and everyone watched him being swallowed by the thunder field. He seemed to have accepted his fate and did not show any resistance or struggle.
Indeed, that pressure far exceeded the limits of a seventh-level God Lord, and made even a tenth-level God Lord feel deeply palpitating. It was indeed enough to directly crush the faith of a seventh-level God Lord.
"It looks like it's over." Huo Tianxing said, "Although there was a little accident, the result is still boring..."
He stopped talking suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly. Beside him, Tian Muyi and Viper Saint also changed their expressions.
In the boiling thunder region, Yun Che's aura still existed, and no matter the position or intensity, it had not changed at all from before.
They focused their eyes and saw through the layers of darkness and lightning that Yun Che was standing firmly in the sea of lightning. No matter how raging the darkness and lightning were around him, he was like a rock in the wind, standing still.
"This is!?"
Tian Gu Hu, who was closest to Yun Che and in his power field, also obviously noticed something was wrong and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Gu Hu!" Tian Muyi growled, "Take action!"
Defeating Yun Che within three moves, Tian Guhu won this "bet battle" himself. With countless powerful people witnessing, he could not afford to lose no matter what.
clang!
With a clanging sound, a flash of black light appeared in Tian Guhu's hand, and the Huangtian Sword was unsheathed. The sword body stirred the thunder domain, condensing dark thunder. In the blink of an eye, it was entangled with thousands of dark lightnings, and then pierced through the thunder domain and space. When it approached Yun Che, the light of the sword body was already rich and dazzling like a universal god, and it went straight through Yun Che's brows.
but……
There was no expected piercing or burst of power. The world suddenly became eerily quiet. Even the raging sound of thunder stopped.
In the suddenly extinguished lightning, the figures of Tian Gu Hu and Yun Che appeared. The Emperor Heaven Sword, which everyone in the Northern Divine Region knew, was pointed at Yun Che's forehead. The sword was still powerful, the lightning was entangled, and the divine light was still dazzling, but Yun Che was pierced by the Emperor Heaven Sword directly in the forehead... Not to mention being pierced, not even a drop of blood was drawn.
Yun Che slowly raised his eyes in front of Tian Gu Hu’s pupils that were dilated to the limit. At the same time, he also raised a finger that had not gathered any strength. In his ears, he heard his cold voice as before: “Tian Gu Hu, do you really think that you are worthy of being my opponent?”
As the voice fell, his fingers had already touched the Emperor's Sword and flicked it lightly.
