Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, Kuang Wufeng was stunned for a moment, then curled his lip, clearly quite dissatisfied with this dawdling process.
"Speak, what do you want!"
Kuang Wufeng frowned and said.
“Simple. If I beat you, you hand over the map of Great Chu. Similarly, if I lose, I hand over the map of Great Gan to you.”
Gu Yifeng's lips curled up. It was rare for Da Chu to reveal a weakness, and if he didn't take advantage of it, his time travel would have been for nothing.
“Maps…”
Upon hearing that the stakes were so high, Kuang Wufeng was no longer eager to participate and immediately hesitated.
"What, are you afraid of losing? To be honest, my cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the Opening Mansion Realm. If you can't win, then so be it. Or we can change the stakes, but that wouldn't be very interesting."
Gu Yifeng continued to provoke him.
"You...come on then! I'm also at the mid-stage of the Opening Mansion Realm, just at the same level, why would I be afraid of you? What skills could a little kid like you possibly have?"
Upon hearing this, Kuang Wufeng felt a surge of anger and blurted out the words. It was too late to regret it now; the words were already out, and he could only prepare to win.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng clasped his hands in greeting, then gestured for Qin Shan to step back, assumed a fighting stance, and indicated that he was ready to make the first move.
The moment the provocative hooking gesture was made, Kuang Wufeng was completely enraged. He let out a low roar, and a layer of blood appeared on his body. Then he charged towards him, and his first move was a fist shadow the size of a chariot.
"Spirit Binding Lock, unleash!"
Gu Yifeng let out a low shout and drew runes in his hand. Then, chains appeared all around him, instantly binding the fist shadow. However, these chains could only break inch by inch.
However, the sheer number of chains quickly depleted the power of the fist shadow.
This is the first-grade talisman among the myriad talismans, the Spirit Binding Lock. As long as the spiritual power continues, the talisman can continuously summon chains after it is drawn. Although its power is not strong, it can still approach the early stage of the Opening Mansion Realm.
Seeing that his punch was ineffective, and realizing that Gu Yifeng seemed to be a talisman master, Kuang Wufeng rushed close and unleashed hundreds of punches like a whirlwind.
He never imagined that Gu Yifeng had deliberately revealed this characteristic. His spiritual energy had circulated through several acupoints, and the Devouring Heaven Record was already prepared. Now that it was activated, the countless fist shadows disappeared as if they had sunk into the sea.
Then Gu Yifeng threw a punch, concentrating all the power of the fist shadow into his fist, and collided with Kuang Wufeng's fist. The violent force suddenly erupted, instantly blasting Kuang Wufeng away.
But his counterattack had only just begun. Riding on the Kun beast, he arrived behind Kuang Wufeng in an instant and struck out with another palm. Blue light flashed between his palms, leaving no time for anyone to react.
The palm strike to the back of the chest broke three bones in an instant, resulting in complete bone shattering.
"puff!"
Kuang Wufeng spat out a mouthful of blood, and a violent aura burst forth from his dantian in an instant. His body suddenly swelled up on the spot, transforming into a humanoid dragon beast, and punched Gu Yifeng, who was also somewhat stunned, away.
This change is truly unimaginable.
After all, in most secret techniques, such transformation and bursting energy techniques require maintaining a standing posture, mobilizing spiritual energy, and circulating it along specific meridian routes before they can be activated.
Those who can forcibly activate their abilities, like Kuang Wufeng, regardless of their own status, are basically the ultimate life-saving techniques.
Having landed a successful punch, Kuang Wufeng finally became somewhat smug. He went berserk and flashed in front of Gu Yifeng, wanting to repeat what he had done before and start his counterattack. His dragon head opened, and a flame was about to be spewed out.
Their movements froze instantly, or rather, slowed down dramatically.
The moment he was sent flying, Gu Yifeng had already drawn his Longquan sword from his waist and unleashed the Time Sword Technique. Under the power of time, both of them slowed down.
With an extra reaction time, he unleashed a sword strike and successfully dodged Kuang Wufeng's attack, leaving a white mark on his body with a single sword strike.
"Again!"
Kuang Wufeng roared, and then his figure was about to rush out again to continue to kill Gu Yifeng, but suddenly an endless sea of chains appeared all around him, constantly entangled and restricting his figure.
Gu Yifeng smiled calmly, patted his right waist, revealing a series of talismans covered with runes. These were all drawn by him overnight, and they were all first-grade spirit-binding locks.
One card can only activate five layers of chains, but what about ten cards or more?
What he did was activate these talismans, turning them into a form of restriction. Taking advantage of this brief moment, he struck dozens of times on Kuang Wufeng's body.
Then, Gu Yifeng snapped his fingers, and Kuang Wufeng's right arm instantly exploded, turning into a bloody mess—it was the Ice Explosion Technique.
In excruciating pain, Kuang Wufeng immediately reverted to his dragon beast form and howled on the ground.
"General, you've lost. Hand over the map of Great Chu. Don't even think about hiding it; every acupoint on your body should be filled with my chilling energy right now, which I can detonate at will."
Gu Yifeng spoke with a smile, but to Kuang Wufeng, it sounded incredibly cold and full of killing intent.
"I'll surrender! Please let me go!"
Kuang Wufeng spoke with a hint of helplessness, quickly said something, and then slowly took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yifeng for his appraisal.
"Very good, let's go. Oh, right, there's one more thing. On behalf of our Emperor, I'd like to announce something to you: Da Gan, we are officially at war with your Chu Kingdom."
Gu Yifeng gently patted Kuang Wufeng, instantly dispelling all the chill from his body. He then quietly planted a seed of fire as a gift to the Chu royal family.
After carefully putting away the parchment, he called Qin Shan and left Humen Pass.
Gu Yifeng thought this was a trap set by the Great Chu, but it turned out to be a challenge from Kuang Wufeng. It was only because this man was honest that Gu Yifeng only destroyed his right arm, allowing him to live a little longer.
Otherwise, he would never have given Kuang Wufeng a way out. After all, their positions are different. To Da Gan, Chu is a foreign country, foreigners, not of his kind. Their hearts are bound to be different. This saying will never be outdated.
...
Ten days later, in the imperial palace of the capital of Great Chu.
Kuang Wufeng, who had lost his right arm, arrived at the palace under the guidance of Song Wuyai and successfully met the Emperor of Chu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Da Gan, Da Gan is about to officially declare war on our Chu Kingdom, Your Majesty!"
Upon seeing the emperor, Kuang Wufeng spoke in a frenzied manner. Even though his injuries had healed, the blow Gu Yifeng had dealt him was still quite significant.
"How dare you! Your Majesty, you must not be so disrespectful!"
Soon, guards stepped forward, subdued Kuang Wufeng, and waited for him to regain his senses and explain himself.
