Chapter 306 - 169: Three Moves

Inside the One-Star Tower of the Holy Origin Seven-Star Tower, the sky was blotted out by dark clouds. They were as heavy as mountains and black as ink, stretching to the horizon in a vast, oppressive sheet. A young man in a black martial shirt stood there, his frame burly and his muscles knotted. His eyes, like copper bells, flashed with a sharp glint of light!

"Hahaha, I alone,"

"am enough to stop you right here!"

The moment he finished speaking, the burly youth in black unleashed the full force of his Half-Step Tongxuan Cultivation. An aura as deep as an abyss billowed out from him, and golden Dao Rhythm flowed around his body. The terrifying might twisted the very space around him!

"Die!"

The burly youth in black stomped on the air, shattering the void like glass. His body moved like a golden bolt of lightning, tearing through space as he clenched his fist. Gathering an immense amount of Dao Rhythm, he instantly appeared before Gu Yun and threw a punch with supreme might!!

"Not a bad strike!"

Gu Yun remarked calmly, but his gaze held a trace of solemnity. The opponent’s punch was far stronger than the Six-winged Flood Dragon’s. ’But that’s no reason for me to dodge.’

The thought had barely formed when Gu Yun raised his jade-white arm. Arcs of thunder crackled around it, gathering into myriad bolts of lightning accompanied by a terrifying Dao Rhythm. He ripped through space, meeting the crushing fist with the force of a thunderclap.

BANG!

The two fists collided. The surrounding space shattered instantly, revealing endless, black abyssal rifts. Terrifying streams of chaotic energy surged forth like Primordial Fierce Beasts as a powerful storm swept out in all directions!

Seeing his attack had failed, the burly youth in black’s eyes hardened, flashing with a sharp light. He swung his fist again, wreathed in terrifying Dao Rhythm. Crushing through space, he smashed it toward Gu Yun’s head with overwhelming force!

In that same instant, a light flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes. His figure moved like lightning and vanished, leaving behind a thunderous afterimage so fast it was impossible to distinguish from reality.

BAM!

The burly youth’s powerful fist pierced straight through the head of Gu Yun’s afterimage, shattering it.

"Huh? When did he...?"

His punch had shattered his opponent, yet there was no trace of joy in the burly youth’s eyes. In the next instant, the afterimage Gu Yun had left behind dissolved into a tide of lightning that surged into his body!

This was the Thunder Illusion Body, a technique Gu Yun had created in his spare time. It used extreme speed to form an afterimage infused with a trace of his Thunder True Intent. When an enemy struck the illusion, it would instantly transform into Thunder and surge into their body. Weaker opponents would be obliterated on the spot, while even the strong would be invaded by the lightning, their bodies paralyzed. It was a truly vicious move.

"Damn it!!"

Feeling the lightning crisscrossing his body like a spiderweb and paralyzing him, the burly youth’s pupils shrank. He cursed aloud as a formidable power erupted from him. A faint golden light burst from within his body as he attempted to dispel the lightning!

At the same time,

the void behind the burly youth rippled like the surface of water, and a figure appeared.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes. He clenched his hand into a fist, drawing it back to accumulate power. Countless crackling bolts of lightning gathered around it, making the void tremble. Then, with a mighty blow that shattered space itself, he unleashed the Thunder Punishment Power, striking the burly youth’s broad, sturdy back in an instant!!

’This is bad!’

A sense of crisis welled up within the burly youth. His pupils widened instantly, and he tried to escape.

BAM!!

But in the next moment, a blast of extreme Thunder Power slammed into his back. The immense force was like the Ninth Layer Celestial Mountain crashing down, instantly crushing his durable body and shattering his spine. His eyes flew wide and his mouth gaped under the tremendous impact.

He shot downwards like a cannonball, tearing through the air with the roar of a Powerful Qi shockwave as he plummeted toward the ground!!

But Gu Yun had no intention of stopping; his next move was even more ruthless. With a wave of his hand, the Flame Soul Thunder Saber appeared in his palm, glowing faintly and wreathed in Thunder Arcs. A blade-like glint flickered in his eyes as he slashed out viciously in the direction the burly youth was flying!

Suddenly, a colossal beam of Sword Qi, imbued with astonishing Sword Intent and incredible sharpness, soared into the air. It shone like a dazzling star from beyond the heavens, cutting through space as it slashed toward the falling youth with the power to sunder all creation!

"This is..."

As he fell, the burly youth watched the star-like beam of Sword Qi grow ever larger. He gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain that racked his body as his fingers blurred together to form a profound Seal.

"Golden Dragon Divine Command!"

A massive golden dragon suddenly appeared in the void. It soared through the air before coiling around the burly youth, emitting a dazzling golden radiance that formed a seemingly indestructible wall.

BOOM!!

In the next instant, the massive, sharp beam of Sword Qi, which seemed to descend from the heavens, tore through space and struck the defense formed by the coiling golden dragon. The impact kicked up furious gales that swept out in all directions!

Immediately after,

CRACK! CRACK!

Before the supremely sharp Sword Qi, the so-called defense formed by the coiling golden dragon crumbled and shattered in a mere instant.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, the supremely sharp Sword Qi tore through the dragon’s defense with unstoppable momentum. It pierced the burly youth’s neck before slamming viciously into the ground, carving an abyssal fissure that stretched for dozens of miles!
