Chapter 246 One sword shatters the heart of the sword!
"You only have one chance to make a move."
"Don't waste it!"
Gu Jiancheng was suspended in mid-air, his dark complexion concealed, his expression unchanged.
Even though he was facing the combined might of four prodigies from the Heavenly Rankings, he showed no fear whatsoever.
Gu Jiancheng's arrogant words caused the four people, including Feng Chanmian, to turn pale instantly.
Although they knew they were no match for Gu Jiancheng, the four of them were now working together!
I refuse to believe that I can't defeat a junior from the Tai Chi School.
Immediately, the four exchanged glances and understood each other perfectly. Almost at the same time, they unleashed their strongest auras!
Even the three women, Feng Chanmian, directly used the sacred runes within their bodies.
They also knew that even when Liu Wuqing activated his sacred runes, he was still no match for her.
In order to secure a victory over Gu Jiancheng, they must go all out and hold nothing back!
In an instant, the souls of the three holy maidens from the sacred lands manifested, and their sacred runes floated in the air.
An astonishing aura soared into the sky. Although Jun Shang did not have a holy mark on his body, he was still the number one prodigy of a super sect. His murderous aura was equally terrifying.
In an instant, the four of them connected their auras and pressed down on Gu Jiancheng.
The combined pressure of the four of them was more than twice as strong as Liu Wuqing's!
Everyone watching the battle gasped, their expressions tense to the extreme.
It seems that Gu Jiancheng is about to pay the price for his arrogance!
"Is that it?"
But Gu Jiancheng just sneered when he saw this.
He immediately raised his hands, and his Qi Sea transformed into a storm around him, its oppressive aura completely isolating the combined pressure from the four people.
"Go all out! Use your strongest divine power!"
At this moment, Feng Chanmian frowned. Although Gu Jiancheng only unleashed a storm, it gave them a strange sense of oppression.
The other three nodded, and then they all summoned their weapons and life essences. Various colors of light suddenly converged and then transformed into sharp beams, which slashed down towards the storm where Gu Jiancheng was.
The supernatural abilities displayed by the four were all unique skills of their respective holy lands and sects.
In an instant, the void above the arena cracked open, and the storm surrounding Gu Jiancheng was also frantically suppressed.
Even the storm showed signs of imminent collapse!
The four people, including Feng Chanmian, were overjoyed to see this.
Even if Gu Jiancheng is incredibly powerful, what good is it? He's still going to be defeated by those four!
hum!
But just as the four of them smiled, a dragon's roar suddenly erupted from the storm surrounding Gu Jiancheng.
The storm, which seemed on the verge of collapse, suddenly began to swirl wildly.
The storm's area expanded in an instant, almost instantly engulfing the combined divine power of the four.
Click!
With a crackling thunderous sound, the four people's supernatural powers vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!
The storm, however, almost covered half of the arena, and it seemed to be getting stronger and stronger!
hiss!
For a moment, the onlookers in the square came to their senses and all gasped.
The four of them, with the combined power of the Wind and the Holy Runes, were incredibly strong, yet they were crushed by Gu Jiancheng's protective storm!
What kind of aura is this?!
hum!
While Feng Chanmian and the others were still in astonishment, four arms suddenly stretched out from within the storm.
The massive arm, enveloped in lightning and carrying immense pressure, descended suddenly, almost instantly sweeping right in front of them.
Although this thunderous palm print was not imbued with any supernatural power, it carried a fierce fist intent and was extremely domineering.
"not good!"
The four were shocked and immediately raised their weapons again, attempting to unleash a second supernatural power to defend themselves.
However, their supernatural powers crumbled instantly, as soon as they touched the palm print.
boom!
The next moment, the four palm prints struck down almost simultaneously.
Beneath the palm print, the radiance of the three sacred runes was completely crushed.
The four of them, including Feng Chanmian, almost exerted all their strength to break free from the pressure of the palm print.
Even so, after landing, their battle suits were still stained with blood, and they were in a terrible state.
Because Jun Shang lacked the protection of the holy runes, his entire skeleton was almost shattered by the pressure of Gu Jiancheng's palm print, resulting in severe injuries!
After a long while, the entire venue erupted in gasps of surprise!
That's it!?
Even with the combined efforts of Feng Chanmian and the other two, they were defeated even faster than Liu Wuqing had just been!
And Gu Jiancheng did not even use any supernatural powers.
His cultivation level is simply unfathomable!
At this moment, the seven saints from the three holy lands in the sky had turned ashen-faced.
Gu Jiancheng's group's battle could even be said to have ended prematurely.
It was thought that this would be Gu Jiancheng's group of death, and that he would be defeated without a doubt when facing the encirclement and suppression of six experts from the three holy lands.
Unexpectedly, these six top-ranked experts were all completely overwhelmed by Gu Jiancheng!
They didn't even have the slightest power to resist!
This whole thing is a huge joke!
The three sacred lands have actually become stepping stones for Gu Jiancheng!?
The saints of the three holy lands grew angrier the more they thought about it, but now they could only wait for the next round!
On the Taiji Sect's side, apart from Yuan Da and others, Meng Fusheng and his group were quite surprised.
They had never seen Gu Jiancheng make a move before.
Now we've witnessed it firsthand; Gu Jiancheng's strength probably surpasses that of us, the sect leaders.
"I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand your disciple," Meng Fusheng shook his head.
“It’s not just you; even I, as your master, can’t see through it.”
Li Piaomiao shook her head.
Moreover, because he cultivated the Carefree Technique, he can now sense the aura of heaven and earth within Gu Jiancheng's body.
In other words, Gu Jiancheng not only obtained the Qiankun Technique, but had even mastered it!
This was what surprised Li Piaomiao the most.
However, none of the opponents Gu Jiancheng is currently facing are worthy of him using the Qiankun Technique.
The first master of the Lotus Pavilion stood steadily on the lotus image, a warm smile always on his face.
Even though fierce battles had broken out below, it seemed to have no effect on him.
He also knew that what he most wanted to see in today's battle was just the final fight.
On the arena, Cang Xingyu glanced at Gu Jiancheng with his cold eyes before turning away.
Even though Gu Jiancheng's combat strength is quite impressive, it still doesn't make him wary.
But Jian Xinhen and Kong Ming looked solemn.
At least, Gu Jiancheng has now made them feel threatened, and they have even begun to think about how to face the battle with Gu Jiancheng in the future.
Shortly afterward, all four competitions concluded.
Twenty people advanced to the second round.
However, Feng Chanmian, Yuan Da, and others, who should have entered the second round in theory, were eliminated early due to severe injuries and did not make it into the final round.
This also meant that before the second round even began, all the focus had already been determined.
The top four spots undoubtedly belong to Gu Jiancheng and his three companions; the others can only compete for the remaining six spots.
The most anticipated battle is the battle for the championship!
After all, whoever wins the top spot will receive a special reward from the Holy Path Palace!
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the arena changed amidst a humming sound, and ten cylindrical platforms gradually floated up.
The platforms are arranged in varying heights, but the highest circular platform is the most eye-catching.
"The second round is about to begin. Whoever steps onto the stage and remains unchallenged will earn their place."
The sound rose again from the direction of the Holy Path Palace.
The moment his voice fell, Cang Xingyu and the other two moved!
Cang Xingyu's speed was extremely fast; he crossed many arenas in the blink of an eye and approached the first arena.
Gu Jiancheng scoffed. How could he let Cang Xingyu succeed?
Immediately, lightning crackled around him, his wings unfurled, and he transformed into a golden radiance almost instantly, charging forward.
Just as Cang Xingyu stepped onto the arena, Gu Jiancheng was already standing firmly in the center.
He approached with his hands behind his back, looked at Cang Xingyu, and said coldly, "This place does not belong to you!"
"Gu Jiancheng, you may not be qualified to say such things!"
At this moment, Jian Xinhen and Kongming also arrived on the first high platform.
Although the Holy Realm was previously filled with legends that Cang Xingyu had already attained sainthood, they still wanted to compete for it.
However, now Gu Jiancheng has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he is even more arrogant than Cang Xingyu!
This was simply unacceptable to them!
"Heh, what, you're not convinced either?"
"Then let's go together with him!"
Gu Jiancheng merely glanced at them before scoffing.
Another one!?
In an instant, shouts and gasps rose up again in the square.
Even now, does Gu Jiancheng still spout such arrogant nonsense?!
You have to understand, he's not facing the likes of Feng Chanmian now.
Whether it's Cang Xingyu, Jian Xinhen, or Kong Ming, they are all three of the most sought-after top juniors in this Holy Domain.
They rose to fame at a young age, dominating the top three of the Heavenly Ranking for many years, and were nurtured by the three holy lands with countless resources.
But Gu Jiancheng actually wants all three of them to come at him together!?
Among them is Cang Xingyu!
Is this guy insane?!
Cang Xingyu frowned slightly, showing no anger at Gu Jiancheng's words, but also showing no intention of making a move.
He would never team up with anyone else.
For him, that was the real disgrace!
"presumptuous!"
"Dealing with you doesn't require the three of us to join forces!"
Enraged, Jian Xinhen suddenly raised his hand, and his holy runes and life soul manifested instantly, unleashing his full power in a flash!
Even more terrifying was that a sword realm suddenly spread wildly around Jian Xinhen, with countless sword shadows like a tide. The intensity of the sword intent immediately drew many exclamations.
They finally witnessed the strength of the strongest disciple of the Vast Holy Land!
As the direct grandson of Sword Saint Jian Jiuming, Jian Xinhen is even hailed as the number one junior in the Holy Domain's sword path.
The quality of swords in this world today has reached the peak of the initial stage!
"This Jian Jiuming was born with a pseudo-sacred sword soul. Now he has obtained the power of the sacred runes and cultivated the seed of the sacred sword. Thus, his combat power is enough to defeat the four of them, including Feng Chanmian, who joined forces!"
"He's definitely a formidable opponent for Gu Jiancheng!"
"That Gu Jiancheng dares to boast that he can fight everyone; he really underestimates the three holy lands!"
On the surrounding plaza, a group of cultivators from the Haoran Holy Land began to stir up a commotion.
They desperately need Jian Xinhen to defeat Gu Jiancheng to boost morale.
"Heart Sword, Traceless Slash!"
"Gu Jiancheng, I've heard you're also a sword cultivator. What should I do with this strike?!"
At this moment, Jian Xinhen was already wielding a blood-red sword, unleashing a sword aura nine thousand feet long at Gu Jiancheng.
This sword energy is somewhat similar to Wei Xingzhou's Void Sword Dao, but it has a chilling aura. The sword energy appears and disappears, constantly changing direction, making it seem impossible to discern any trace of it!
Countless people have died by this sword!
"Heh, since you know I am a sword cultivator, why bother demonstrating your swordsmanship in front of me?"
Gu Jiancheng looked at the sword energy that descended in an instant, but only sneered. Then he raised his hand and the Thunderfire Sword Realm instantly transformed into a barrier-like sword wall, standing in front of him.
boom!
The next moment, the Traceless Heart Sword landed on the Sword Realm, but in just an instant, the sword energy was annihilated by lightning, turning into dust and disappearing without a trace!
This sword strike, seemingly destined to succeed, was actually neutralized so easily!
"Impossible! Gu Jiancheng's sword realm seems to be even stronger than Jian Xinhen's!?"
"What kind of swordsmanship talent does this guy have?"
At this moment, the cultivators from the Haoran Holy Land were completely dumbfounded.
If Jian Xinhen is the number one junior in the Holy Domain's swordsmanship, then what is Gu Jiancheng?
"Your sword strike wasn't very good."
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng raised his hand from behind the sword realm, and a sword aura was also slashed out!
