The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 127: Gu Xing

On top of the platform, Luo Huan was still suppressing 4th Night. The audience could see that he had no intention of letting go. Apart from her beautiful face, the spectators could not help the coldness in their hearts, did she really want the 4th Night life?

Pressed for a long time, the 4th Night had to suffer from shortness of breath.

"He's been defeated, why don't you let him go?" Sikong Mingyue turned his gaze to Luo Huan as he spoke coldly.

"I've never heard of his confession." Luo Huan laughed, "what happens if he attacks me after I release him?"

The glint of cold light in Sikong Mingyue's eyes increased, but Luo Huan's actions did not go against the rules. However, the level of suppression was such that the 4 Nights did not even have the chance to speak.

It was not a weak 4th Night, but Luo Huan's attack method was too cunning and unfathomable. The combination of his two Astral Souls actually gave him perfect flexibility, like a long whip in his hand.

Even before the full strength of 4th Night could be displayed, he had already entered a hopeless situation.

“Sometimes it's good if you know when to stop. It is better not to go too far, ”Sikong Mingyue calmly replied.

"Before when you guys were preparing to involve Junior Brother Qin I in an ongoing battle, did you think of this?" Luo Huan continued to laugh. Clearly, he had underestimated what the Snowcloud cultivators would do, and thus had decided to take the initiative, starting a counterattack from the Star Emperor Academy.

Sikong Mingyue did not say anything to respond to it, as an extremely frightening killing intent emerged from his body. Looking at the 4th Night, he coldly replied, "I'll get revenge for you."

"My sister is not so cruel." Luo Huan laughed, as he finally released 4th Night. Delivering a quick kick, 4th Night booted off the platform.

When 4th Night was released, he gasped and took a big breath, before fainting. Clearly, he could no longer participate as a challenger.

"These people were so ruthless, they had no intention of even allowing their defeated opponents to stand on the platform anymore." Many quietly exclaimed in their hearts. Qin Wentian was thus, and so was Luo Huan.

4th Night lost his right as a challenger, but 7th Night still had a chance. However, his face was still not bloody and pale, the duration of the previous battle was not enough for him to recover from his injuries.

"Forget it, rest it well." Sikong Mingyue instructed 7 Nights.

7th Night reluctantly nodded his head, as he gave up his right to be a challenger.

At this moment, the 4th Night, the 6th Night, and the 7th Night, were all eliminated. There were only 15 remaining of the 18 contestants who had advanced to the 2nd round of Jun Lin Banquet.

While only four contestants who came from Snowcloud remained.

The bitter truth of the end of this story was not something Snowcloud wanted to see. Traveling from such a distant place to Chu, and even hosting Jun Lin Banquet with Chu, their faces and pride would truly be lost if Jun Lin's Supper results were like that.

"Choose your own opponent." Sikong Mingyue calmly said and a moment later, the few remaining figures on the platform made their moves.

The Third Night approached Kuang Shen.

The 2nd sword approached Shi Jun.

The 3rd Sword wanted to get close to Qin Wentian, but suddenly, a silhouette appeared in front of him, blocking his way on the 5th platform in the middle of it towards Qin Wentian. This silhouette was none other than that of the quiet young man, Gu Xing.

From the beginning until now, Gu Xing had not said a word. Taciturn, quiet, had a personality similar to his name, like the most aloof of all the constellations in the sky. However, during the first round of fighting, he had defeated the 5th Night. No one dared to look down on him.

At this moment, Gu Xing stood in front of the 3rd Night. It was unknown whether he was intentionally helping Qin Wentian, or was only interested in dueling with 3rd Night.

But no matter what his intentions were, the spectators knew that this would definitely be an interesting battle to watch.

Sikong Mingyue originally wanted to act, but soon after, he stopped as he observed the ongoing battle in three directions.

"The Snowcloud nation is running out of patience." Many people speculate in their hearts.

The 2nd sword unleashed its sword intent, as a terrifying storm could be felt swirling around its body. Flicking his finger, the boundless sword light flew towards Shi Jun – ranked 8th out of 10 prodigies.

Shi Jun's body was similar to the heaviest stone blocks. He exploded with a fist as granite beams materialized. However, the granite block was instantly destroyed, the impact actually made it take a step back.

The sword Qi radiating from the 2nd Sword's body was extremely sharp. Shi Jun had once fought against Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu's sword intent was far from being able to match the 2nd Sword.

If one were to say Jiang Xiu's sword intent was comparable to the autumn rain, the 2nd Sword intent could only be described as the intent of an extremely violent storm.

As for the 3rd Night, he attacked against a rank 9 of 10 prodigies at the same time. The 3rd Night attack was somewhat similar to the 6th Night attack, both of them choosing to focus on cultivating strength. With a huge axe in his hand, he lunged towards Kuang Shen.

Kuang Shen was an expert in the use of swords. Using the tyranny of the sword, he opposed the 3rd Night. And after each exchange, the spectators discovered that Kuang Shen's sword would always be slowed down by half a beat, as he was forced back by his opponent's attack. This showed that in terms of strength, he was not on the same level as 3rd Night.

3rd Night used his absolute strength to destroy his sword technique

“Although the attacks from his great axe technique seemed awkward, they were actually very profound. Kuang Shen's sword was heavily suppressed. Shi Jun and Kuang Shen of the 10 prodigies would most likely suffer a defeat this time around. "The spectators were secretly speculating in their hearts. This time, there will definitely be a change in the second half of the ranking within the 10 prodigies.

Orchon, Luo Huan, Qin Wentian, and even Luo Cheng were currently already ranked within the 10 prodigies.

There will always be geniuses overtaking each other in this country. Those who were not normally going to fade away over time, were replaced by other powerful talents. This is reality.

Gu Xing continued to stand there, without any fluctuation in his expression. However, when he looked at his opponent, a terrifying cold glint of light could be seen in his eyes.

Amidst that cold light, one could feel a cold wave emanating from it.

The sword light he embodied was similar to a shadow when the 3rd Sword stabbed forward with its sword. This was the flawless execution of his sword-type innate technique, as if with the existence of his sword light, no other light could share such a stage. The shining light all belonged to his sword alone.

Puchi ~

A crisp sound rang out, causing people to freeze in shock. The 3rd sword was similarly stunned.

His sword, had actually broken through to Gu Xing's left arm. He had originally intended his sword to block Gu Xing's path of retreat, but who would have thought that Gu Xing would not even retreat, or choose to dodge. He stood there motionless as the 3rd Sword easily pierced him.

The combat experience of the 3rd Sword could be said to be extremely abundant. But even he had never witnessed such a scene before. That's why he's dumbfounded.

While at the same time, Gu Xing grabbed the sword that pierced into his body. His eyes stared directly at the 3rd Sword, and after a flash, the 3rd Sword only felt a piercing pain in his eyes. Following which, a palm strike landed on the head of the 3rd Sword, as rumbling sounds rang out. The 3rd sword was thrown into the air, as he let out a blood-curdling cry, before slamming the ground outside the platform. His face was already broken into bloody flesh.

The end of the sudden battle caused the spectators to become dumbfounded as they stared in a daze.

The sword embedded in Gu Xing's left arm had disappeared. Without the continuous support of the Astral Energy, the Astral Soul power could no longer be transformed into a sword.

Gu Xing returned to his original position, and sat down by crossing his legs. Not much blood came out from his wound, and to everyone's surprise, his wound completely recovered right before their eyes.

“Gruesome regeneration capabilities. What exactly is the Astral Soul? ”The hearts of the spectators trembled, and Gu Xing's shadow was deeply imprinted in their minds.

His name was Gu Xing, a lonely star. Right now, his face had returned to his previous calm gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In fact, in the first round when he defeated the 5th Night, many of the great powers in the Royal Capital had already started to launch an investigation into Gu Xing. However, it was as if Gu Xing was completely absent from the State of Chu. Despite having a strong information network, they were unable to find anything about Gu Xing's background. This person had no history attached to him, as if he had only appeared in Chu just as Jun Lin's Supper began, and defeated the 5th Night.

And now, Gu Xing had also defeated the 3rd Sword.

Other than the defeated 3rd Sword, the other two from Snowcloud won against their opponents. Shi Jun and Kuang Shen were both defeated, but still had the chance to challenge others. As for the 3rd Sword, he no longer had the ability to fight anymore.

Shi Jun and Kuang Shen pondered over who to challenge, while the other contestants sat quietly on their platforms.

Shi Jun started walking towards Chu Chen from the Royal Academy.

Meanwhile Kuang Shen was still thinking. And when he saw little prince Chu, Chu Chen easily defeated Shi Jun, the chill in his heart became stronger by several degrees.

None of the remaining contestants were easy to deal with.

The abilities of Luo Qianqiu, Sikong Mingyue, the 2nd Sword, and the 3rd Night were needless to say.

Orchon, Luo Huan, and Gu Xing were also extremely frightening.

Hou Tie from the God Martial Palace was also very strong, and to Leng Ya, he was also a ruthless character. Only two contestants were left – besides the peak Arterial Circulation cultivators of the Divine General Palace – were the 6th prodigy, Jiang Feng, as well as Qin Wentian.

Wanting to advance to the 3rd round was too difficult. Even if he won the next battle, there was a high chance that he would be eliminated in the battle after that.

Finally, gritting his teeth, Kuang Shen made a decision as he walked towards Qin Wentian. After all, he had witnessed all of Qin Wentian's battles before. Although Qin Wentian was strong, he was still somewhat clear about the abilities Qin Wentian possessed. Not only that, Qin Wentian had expended a large amount of his Astral Energy, and was still trying to recover. This is the best chance to face it.

As Kuang Shen appeared in front of Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, staring at Kuang Shen as he stood up.

"It seems that I am too 'good' after all," Qin Wentian muttered. He did not choose to use the ancient spear. The Astral Energy in its 7 circular paths began to churn and surge. The sound of Astral Energy radiating within Qin Wentian's body could even be clearly heard by the spectators. At this moment, Kuang Shen's face stiffened, as his gaze grew heavier.

A pair of Garuda Wings illusions flickered behind Qin Wentian. And the next moment, Qin Wentian disappeared from his original place, blasting forward with the Empty Trail.

Kuang Shen raised his sword and slashed. His sword light broke the Void Trail. However, Qin Wentian's silhouette disappeared instantly again and appeared at Kuang Shen's side, then he lashed out again at the palm strike.

Kuang Shen executed his movement technique to its limit as he dodged Qin Wentian's palm. A moment later, the spectators saw traces of Qin Wentian's palm covering the entire sky.

Kuang Shen's sword meandered wildly as he danced around, it couldn't even be pierced by wind and rain. But apart from this, the spectators could see that Kuang Shen would definitely be defeated if it continued.

And as expected, after a while, Kuang Shen's sword weave became even more chaotic. Qin Wentian sent out another palm strike as Kuang Shen slashed down with his sword, but at this moment, Qin Wentian spewed out a ray of sword light, which was the most powerful, it caused Kuang Shen's face to change as he hurriedly raised his sword in defense.

The explosion! A terrifying palm landed on Kuang Shen's body, and that power catapulted his body into the air. When Kuang Shen finally hit the ground outside the platform, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood after another. It was as if the entire set of meridians in his body had been destroyed.

At this moment, Qin Wentian gradually lowered his legs. Did the fool think that he was only capable of emitting sword light?

Who says palm technique can't be done with his feet?

At this time, out of the original 18 contestants, only 12 remained.

And once three more were eliminated, the top nine contestants would appear. The hearts of the crowd pounded with excitement and nervousness – especially those who have placed their bets!
