After regaining his senses, Gu Huaiyuan realized that the girl in purple was accompanied by Xu Fengzhi from the Divine Dream Sect. Gu Huaiyuan recognized Xu Fengzhi, but because his elder brother didn't like him, he didn't like him either. Gu Huaiyuan hadn't been to the Lu family for over a month, and he was unaware of what had happened there during that time.
Ayao walked step by step to Gu Huaiyuan, grabbed at the air, and a long sword appeared in her hand. She looked at Gu Huaiyuan, her voice clear and cold:
"Young Master Gu, please enlighten me!"
Gu Huaiyuan found her voice somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had seen it before. Seeing that she was already in a ready position, he gestured for her to enter: "Please, fairy!"
A Yao didn't hold back either. Frost swirled around her longsword, and the surrounding air began to drop sharply. With a swing of her sword, dozens of icy sword energies shot out instantly, each one aiming at Gu Huaiyuan at a tricky angle.
Gu Huaiyuan's eyes reflected the incoming sword energy, and he was startled. Lightning crackled around him as he retreated, using his Thunder Abyss Sword to disperse the icy sword energy. Seeing this, A Yao's lips curled into a slight smile, and she transformed into a streak of light, arriving before Gu Huaiyuan in the blink of an eye.
This speed surprised everyone present.
Wow, so fast!!
Gu Huaiyuan stared at the longsword thrusting towards him, shocked by A Yao's speed, and immediately blocked it with the Lei Yuan Sword. With a clang, A Yao's longsword struck the Lei Yuan Sword. The icy sword energy emanating from the sword instantly froze the Lei Yuan Sword, and the force from the sword sent Gu Huaiyuan flying.
What?!
Gu Huaiyuan's eyes widened. He was still in mid-air when, in a flash, A Yao had caught up. Seeing the longsword hurtling towards him again, Gu Huaiyuan hurriedly used his Thunder Abyss Sword to parry. Although he barely managed to block the attack, he was drenched in a cold sweat.
Ding ding ding—
The sound of swords clashing rang out continuously as A Yao pressed Gu Huaiyuan down, each strike faster and more ferocious than the last, leaving the onlookers dazzled.
Gu Huaiyuan has a lightning spiritual root and cultivates lightning techniques. His speed is among the top in the Golden Core stage. However, everyone can see that his speed has no advantage over A Yao.
Bang!
Ayao kicked Gu Huaiyuan away, sending him flying and breaking a stone pillar dozens of feet away.
After falling to the ground, Gu Huaiyuan got up in a disheveled state, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Several cultivators from the Gu family called out his name in concern. Gu Huaiyuan's face was extremely pale. He didn't know who this girl in purple was, but losing to a woman, especially in front of everyone, was a very humiliating thing for him.
Before he could think, a series of flying swords rained down from the sky. Startled, Gu Huaiyuan scrambled to his feet, dodging the attacks, but his body was constantly grazed by the flying swords, leaving bloody scratches.
hateful!!
He gazed at A Yao, who looked like a fairy in the sky, and roared. His spiritual pressure surged to its limit, lightning crackled around him, and a silver-blue armor was already on his body. The armor was covered with mysterious patterns and exuded a terrifying lightning-attribute spiritual power.
This is one of Gu Huaiyuan's most treasured possessions; it's the Thunder King Armor given to him by his father.
Lightning danced around him, transforming into streaks of lightning, and suddenly the sky was filled with turbulent winds and clouds.
The girl in yellow from the Gu family said excitedly, "Brother Huaiyuan is going to get serious."
Gu Huaiyuan's junior brother, Gu Wenye, excitedly said, "Senior brother, senior brother, teach her a lesson!"
Gu Wen is not yet at the age to cherish women. Although he thinks A Yao is beautiful, she is still a member of the Lu family. How could he side with outsiders?
Gu Huaiyuan stomped on the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared beneath his feet. He shot into the sky like a lightning bolt, his speed far exceeding his previous speed, comparable to that of a cultivator in the mid-to-late stages of the Nascent Soul realm.
Everyone stared in disbelief, thinking to themselves that the Seventh Miss was bound to lose.
Xu Fengzhi looked worried, fearing that Gu Huaiyuan might hurt A Yao, but he saw that A Yao's face did not show any panic. Gu Huaiyuan was very fast, but his sword did not touch A Yao, only striking the afterimage left behind by A Yao.
What?
Gu Huaiyuan's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that A Yao could still avoid it.
The onlookers were all shocked, never expecting A Yao to possess such speed. Apart from those at the Golden Core stage and above, everyone knew that with such speed, they would definitely not be able to dodge it. If it were a real enemy, they might not even have time to use their trump cards before being killed.
However, Ayao dodged it, not just barely, but with obvious ease.
A whooshing sound came from behind him. Gu Huaiyuan turned around abruptly and saw a barrage of icy flying swords shooting towards him. Gu Huaiyuan immediately concentrated his spiritual power on the sword, and the Thunder Abyss Sword shone brightly. The lightning that shot out from the sword collided with the icy flying swords, and a series of loud explosions erupted in the sky.
Rumble—
Thunder rumbled as Gu Huaiyuan summoned heavenly lightning, sending streaks of blue electricity crashing down from the sky towards A Yao. The lightning bolts struck with incredible speed, but each time they missed their target.
In an instant, A Yao traversed dozens of feet and reappeared in front of Gu Huaiyuan, this time striking Gu Huaiyuan's armor with a punch.
Most of the force of the punch was blocked by Gu Huaiyuan's armor, but the remaining force still injured Gu Huaiyuan and sent him flying more than a hundred meters away.
Gu Huaiyuan screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and once again gathered all his spiritual power. With a series of thunderous roars, a thunder tiger surrounded by lightning appeared behind him.
This thunder tiger was dozens of feet tall, with streaks of blue and white lightning shooting out in all directions from its center. It roared, shaking the heavens and the earth, and attacked A Yao.
Gu Huaiyuan concentrated all his power into this one strike.
Xu Fengzhi's face once again showed a worried and solemn expression, and he frowned.
Even while suspended in mid-air, Ayao remained calm and composed.
She gripped her longsword, spiritual energy emanating from her body. A chilling autumn wind rose from nowhere, whipping up fallen leaves from the mountains and sending them soaring into the sky. Ayao watched the roaring thunder tiger approach, then with a flick of her sword, torrents of water appeared all around, rushing towards the great river.
When autumn arrives, all rivers flow into the Yellow River.
To everyone's astonishment, the great river transformed into a hundred-foot-long water dragon, tearing the lightning-encrusted thunder tiger to shreds.
boom!
A deafening roar echoed between heaven and earth.
A Yao's clothes fluttered as the water dragon formed by her sword tore through Lei Hu. She had already passed Gu Huaiyuan, and yellow leaves danced in the air. A flash of sword light drew a bloody mark on Gu Huaiyuan's neck.
Dead silence!
The surroundings were deathly silent!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What Ayao just used was the Lu family's "Autumn Water Sword Technique." Every member of the Lu family here has learned it, but only a few can truly grasp its essence.
They had just clearly felt the sword intent in A Yao's sword technique.
