Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 185

The Slaughter Sword Rune, a single slash can cut through one's soul..."

Hong Gu's indifferent voice slowly sounded. The black blade looked simple and ordinary, but at this moment, many disciples were shocked because this was Hong Gu's third spirit rune.

Although this spirit rune was incomplete, if it showed its strength, even the other Level Four Elixir Realm would not be able to resist.

After all, spirit runes were always stronger towards the end. Otherwise, the difficulty of compacting it would not have doubled.

As the black blade with spirit runes appeared, Luo Xue's eyes were fixed on the black blade. Her beautiful face became more serious. Even he had only condensed two spirit runes, so even Luo Xue himself could not guarantee that he could block Hong Gu's spirit rune attacks.

But no matter what, he couldn't give up!

"Hhhh!"

Biting her red lips, Luo Xue snorted softly. Instantly, the second spirit rune he had just displayed appeared once again.

It was a dark blue battle spear. A cold aura continued to spread from the spear body, including Luo Xue's body. It was as if he was wearing a battle robe. The aura that was even colder than before was swept away, causing the hearts of countless disciples to tremble once more.

However, no matter how shocking Luo Xue's appearance was, the disciples of the Southern Region couldn't help but worry about her. After all, Hong Gu only displayed the third spirit rune. Even if it was incomplete, it was still much stronger than the previous second spirit rune.

But even so, no one could stop the two spiritual runes from clashing. A cold war spear swept out, bringing along a chill that seemed to freeze space, and swept out toward the black sword.

Hong Gu smiled in disdain. In the next moment, the black blade with spirit runes also slashed down. The incomplete blade shone with a fatal black light, as if this slash was enough to destroy whatever was in front of it.

In an instant, a cold war spear and a black sword with spiritual runes collided. The roar was deafening, and the huge sound waves were wrapped in astonishing energy ripples. That's very scary.

However, the black blade was too sharp. Although the Dark Blue Battle Spear was able to block it, after a long contact, it was finally torn apart by the black blade. A small wound appeared on the spear's body.

The moment the wound on the battle spear appeared, Luo Xue, who was connected to it, immediately changed her expression. A strange hue appeared on her pale cheeks, and then blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. This adds grief to this ever-strong girl.

After which, the dark blue battle spear disappeared, turned into a spirit rune light and returned to Luo Xue's body. The moment the spirit inscription returned, Luo Xue's condition became even weaker.

Since Luo Xue was not even a match for spirit runes, she was destined to lose.

However, Luo Xue was clearly unwilling to admit defeat. He bit his red lips. Although his face was pale and his body was weak, he still gritted his teeth and circulated the spirit energy in his body. He coldly looked at Hong Gu.

Hong Gu did not understand his reaction, but he was determined to win today. So even though he really liked Luo Xue, he had to win today.

After all, in Hong Gu's eyes, a woman was not enough to compare to the path of becoming the strongest expert.

Thus, Hong Gu slowly approached Luo Xue and attacked her with his spirit energy. He blasted her out of the arena.

As his body flew out of the arena, Luo Xue's eyes were filled with an indescribable complexity. He did not expect that he would lose to Hong Gu in the end.

Never mind, this humiliating situation would be a punishment for himself. Only by recalling this failure could he feel more pressure and become stronger as quickly as possible.

However, just as Luo Xue thought that she was about to crash into the ground, a familiar aura suddenly appeared. Shortly after, this aura quickly approached him. Before he could react, this aura had already approached him and pulled him into an embrace.

A strong masculine aura enveloped him. Even Luo Xue could not return to her senses. He could only be hugged by the man. After a few breaths, he suddenly returned to his senses. At the same time, his face reddened with embarrassment and anger. He quickly pushed the body that was hugging him away.

"Uhuk... My kindness really doesn't pay off."

After being pushed back by Luo Xue's palm, Yan Chutian muttered silently. Just now, when he saw Luo Xue being swept out of the arena by Hong Gu, he thought that it could be considered as a fellow disciple. He had not expected this woman to attack the one who saved him.

However, when Yan Chutian caught a glimpse of Luo Xue's blushing face, he suddenly understood something. Could this be the first time this woman had been hugged by a man?

"Senior sister ..."

Loring hurriedly rushed out of the crowd. He, who had also caught a glimpse of the previous scene, looked at his elder sister, then looked at Yan Chutian. Her beautiful face is complicated too. He then rushed to Luo Xue's side and whispered, as if he was comforting her.

At the same time, Qiu Yu also appeared beside Yan Chutian, but her beautiful face was not good at all. He first looked at Luo Xue and Loring from afar, then snorted at Yan Chutian without turning his head, "Hero who saved beauty, I'm so angry!"

"..."

The short interlude quickly passed. After a distraction, everyone knew that Luo Xue had lost to Hong Gu in this battle. As a result, the mood of the Southern Region disciples became extremely low. After all, Luo Xue and Hong Gu were both the number one disciples in the Southern Region, and Luo Xue had actually lost to Hong Gu. From a certain point of view, their number one disciple in the Southern Region had lost to the Northern Region.

And even Luo Xue had failed, so who else in the Southern Region could defeat Hong Gu?

Instantly, countless gazes turned to Qiu Yu, who was beside Yan Chutian. This was because in the first half, he had already displayed an astonishing sight. He was only at the third level, but he easily defeated Xue Hongyu.

One had to know that according to the order of elimination, Xue Hongyu was the number one disciple in the Northern Region, second only to Hong Gu.

Therefore, if there was someone, they could only think of Qiu Yu. But of course, this did not mean that it had forgotten Yan Chutian. It could only be said that they had not expected Yan Chutian to be able to defeat Hong Gu. After all, the outcome of Yan Chutian's battle was always magical. At any moment, it was as if he had just defeated his opponent, and did not rely on his full combat strength.

There were even people who secretly believed that Yan Chutian had relied on some secret technique unknown to anyone to accomplish this. Once the secret technique lost its effect or exceeded its limits, he would be struck back to his original state.

Yan Chutian was very clear about this attitude and guess, so he did not think too much about it. However, when he thought about how he had just angered Qiu Yu, he could not help but take this opportunity to tease Qiu Yu. "It seems that the reputation I've made so far cannot be compared to your battle."

"Hmmm!"

Qiu Yu snorted. He, who had initially ignored Yan Chutian, finally glanced at him indifferently. Then, he lifted the corner of his bright red lips and smiled. "I used my powers to prove myself."

"Senior brother Qiu Yu is mighty!"

"…"

But no matter what the crowd guessed, the battle was over. If Hong Gu were to lose in the last round, the Southern Region would be the biggest winner. But Hong Gu won, so naturally, he would be Hong Gu's next opponent.

If Hong Gu wins again, then it will be the last fight between him and Qiu Yu.

At this moment, Qiu Yu finally restrained his anger and whispered to Yan Chutian, "After all, Hong Gu has condensed an incomplete third spirit rune. It's not easy to deal with him. And your third spirit rune is in a strange state, so if you can't defeat it, leave it to me. I can help you get somewhere else at the Tianji Event!"

Qiu Yu's words revealed a strong sense of confidence. It seemed that condensing three spirit runes, which shocked and frightened many people, was nothing to him. But in reality, he was completely qualified to utter such words. After all, he was Qiu Yu, Qiu Yu who could use all his abilities while he was still alive.

It was just that the price for using it was too high, so he would not use it unless the time was critical.

Qiu Yu was worried about Yan Chutian, but Yan Chutian was also worried about him. After all, he did not want Qiu Yu to use the strength he had when he was alive. It would cause an enormous burden on Mu Wan's body, and the damage to her body would definitely be related to these two consciousnesses in the body.
