"Clang, clang..." The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed, sparks flew, and the space trembled continuously. Yang Xiao wielded his spear, and a destructive aura swept out. No matter how sharp Gu Yifeng's sword was, it was destroyed in an instant, and no one dared to approach Yang Xiao.
Gu Yifeng's gaze was fixed on Yang Xiao, who was approaching from the front. His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see through the golden spear.
"This spear is the most treasured artifact of the Nine Yang Holy Sect, named the 'Nine Yang Divine Spear.' It is a seventh-tier weapon with earth-shattering power. Combined with Yang Xiao's strength, an ordinary early-stage seventh-tier Martial Emperor would have a hard time withstanding his attack," someone whispered, their tone revealing a hint of apprehension.
Many people nodded in agreement. They had long heard of the terrifying power of the Nine Yang Divine Spear, and seeing its might firsthand today, they were even more convinced that Yang Xiao truly deserved to stand out from the crowd, not only because of his strength, but also because he wielded an eighth-tier weapon.
“It’s no use.” Gu Yifeng suddenly said. He raised his arm, and a faint white light appeared on his palm. At the same time, strands of silver light fell down and wrapped around his palm. A long sword appeared in his hand. It was the Cangming Sword, a sixth-order peak spiritual weapon.
At this moment, Yang Xiao was getting closer and closer to Gu Yifeng, and the frequency of his spear thrusts became faster and faster. Terrifying spear shadows flashed in the air, each carrying an unparalleled aura, as it attacked Gu Yifeng's body.
Gu Yifeng remained calm and composed, even a wicked smile playing on his lips. He then took a step forward, his figure moving swiftly like the wind to dodge the attacks of those gun shadows.
"This guy is incredibly fast!" Yang Xiao's expression darkened slightly. This young man's strength exceeded his expectations. He had to unleash his true power, otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat him.
He suddenly grabbed at the air, and a crimson flaming halberd appeared out of thin air. The halberd was burning with scorching flames, like a furnace, and exuded an extremely violent aura.
"The Nine Yang Divine Halberd of the Nine Yang Holy Sect!" The crowd became excited when they saw the weapon Yang Xiao took out. Legend has it that Yang Xiao once used the Nine Yang Divine Halberd to kill several monstrous geniuses of the same realm. Today, they would finally experience its power.
"Kill!" Yang Xiao strode forward, halberd in hand, his body bathed in the glow of flames, like a blazing sun illuminating the night sky. Holding the halberd, he shot towards Gu Yifeng, a dazzling spear light shooting straight out, piercing through the void, causing Gu Yifeng's expression to change.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the fire giant he had encountered outside the Nine Suns Mountains. Back then, the fire giant also attacked with a fire spear, and that spear was shot at him in the same way.
"Could this Nine Yang Divine Halberd be the same as the spear in the Flame Giant's hand?" A thought flashed through Gu Yifeng's mind, and as soon as it appeared, it took root and grew stronger.
"Since that's the case, then I'll give it a try." Gu Yifeng muttered to himself, his gaze suddenly sharpening. With a flick of his arm, a dazzling and unparalleled river of lightning swept out, filled with the power of destructive lightning punishment, annihilating everything in its path. Wherever it passed, spear beams collapsed and shattered. The remaining power of the river of lightning did not diminish, and it roared directly toward Yang Xiao, as if it wanted to devour him.
"Break!" Yang Xiao roared, and as he swung his halberd, a violent tremor erupted in the void. Then, a huge spear shadow appeared, and the terrifying aura emanating from the spear made people feel suffocated.
The gun shadow collided with the lightning, causing the lightning to explode continuously, while the gun shadow showed no signs of breaking and continued to rush forward.
Gu Yifeng's eyes revealed a strange light. Yang Xiao's strength was indeed not weak. He wondered what kind of cultivation technique he had practiced to be able to urge the spear intent to such a degree. It was truly unbelievable.
Gu Yifeng was not without experience fighting against those at higher realms. He had fought against Chu Feng and Situ Jing when he was two realms higher than them, and he still managed to defeat them.
Even so, it still took a lot of his energy.
Moreover, although he had executed that move with great skill, it wasn't his forte. The person before him, however, had perfected it, integrating the essence of the spear into the weapon to unleash its full power.
“If this is all the strength you have, then you’re doomed to lose.” Yang Xiao uttered a sarcastic remark, then added, “I advise you to admit defeat on your own initiative, otherwise don’t blame me for not warning you if you get injured later.”
"Hehe, then let me see what you're capable of." Gu Yifeng smiled coldly, took a step forward, and the wind and clouds surged in the sky. A vast and powerful aura emanated from his body, as if it were endless. He held a three-foot green sword in his hand, and a giant gate phantom appeared behind him.
The gigantic gate's phantom image enveloped this area, releasing an incomparably powerful sealing force. Golden runes leaped through the void, as if containing a powerful sealing force. In an instant, the void became incredibly heavy, as if it had transformed into a cage imprisoning everything and trapping Yang Xiao inside.
Yang Xiao's face suddenly stiffened as he felt the oppressive force emanating from the space. His face turned ashen, and he looked at Gu Yifeng, saying, "Your mastery of sealing techniques is quite profound."
Gu Yifeng smiled mysteriously. His sealing rules were obtained from the Heavenly Crying Stele. Naturally, they were much weaker than the sealing power of the Heavenly Crying Stele. However, he was confident that he would not fear anyone in the same realm.
"Die!" Yang Xiao uttered a cold voice, raised his halberd, and the heavens and earth trembled. It was as if all the power of heaven and earth had gathered in this halberd. Boundless flames burned everything, and the entire space seemed to be burned and destroyed. The scorching temperature made people's hair stand on end.
In an instant, streaks of fire descended and shot towards Gu Yifeng. The scene was extremely spectacular, as if the end of the world had arrived and the world was burning.
"This is the most domineering move in the Nine Yang Divine Halberd, called Nine Yang Meteor." An elder Martial Emperor slowly spoke as he watched this scene: "The Nine Yang Divine Halberd has two powerful martial skills, one called Nine Yang Meteor and the other called Nine Yang Break."
“Nine Yangs fall, Nine Yangs break…” Gu Yifeng murmured to himself, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
“Nine Suns Fall, Nine Suns Break, could they be the same name?” He vaguely guessed a possibility: the Nine Suns Divine Halberd was probably a combined name for the two.
Golden light appeared around Gu Yifeng, and golden phoenixes emerged, their cries echoing. One after another, the phoenixes swooped forward, their wings spreading wide, blotting out the sky and blocking all attacks.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiao's expression turned cold again. He clenched his fist, and the Flaming Divine Halberd stretched across the void. The aura emanating from the halberd became even more terrifying, and a dreadful aura spread out, causing everyone's hearts to clench involuntarily.
Only then did they notice that Yang Xiao was surrounded by wisps of purple light, and even his robe had turned purple, making him look incredibly eerie. Combined with his handsome, angular face, he exuded an air of untamed arrogance.
