Chapter 163: Stall for Time, Making a Dirty Move in Secret

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. No one had expected Gu Xi to be so arrogant and not give in even an inch.

The person who had wanted to mediate earlier suddenly turned red in the face. Perhaps Gu Xi had hit a nerve, but he said, “I tried to persuade you out of kindness, but you did not appreciate it. If you want to die, I won’t stop you!”

After saying that, he snorted and looked like he was watching a good show.

The big sects were still calm and did not rush to attack. They wanted to rush forward, but it would be beneath their dignity to do so in front of so many people.

A deep male voice came from the crowd. “What an arrogant tone. I’d like to see what you are made of.”

Zhan Tianchen’s fighting spirit was aroused. He flew up and said, “Let me meet you.”

As soon as he said that, he suddenly punched out. Without summoning any magical equipment or pet beasts, he rushed Gu Xi at lightning speed.

Zhan Tianchen’s fist seemed to be burning, and even the air became scorching hot. Countless dust and fire fell down like meteors, making crackling noises.

The wind of his fist was strong and powerful, and it seemed to be quite imposing. The fierce flames came whistling over. Gu Xi jumped to the side and narrowly avoided it, but he could vaguely smell the burning smell.

He turned his head and glanced at it, but a few strands of hair by his ear had already disappeared. The green mountain behind him suddenly exploded, and more than half of the mountain fell down. Only a huge hole was left in the middle.

If he had not dodged in time, his fate would not be much better than this mountain.

“Very good!”

Zhan Tianchen’s move won the cheers of the crowd.

“I heard that the Ancient Zhan Clan members had strong physical bodies and never relied on external things. There is a secret method in the clan. If one cultivates it to the highest state, his physical body can even be compared to a divine weapon.”

“Then wouldn’t he be unkillable no matter what?”

“Not only is he unkillable, he’s comparable to a human-shaped weapon. Moreover, with this special and powerful technique, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to fight enemies who are several levels higher than him.”

“The Ancient Zhan Clan really lives up to its reputation.”

It seemed that Gu Xi had fallen into a disadvantageous position and had been beaten into a sorry state by Zhan Tianchen. He had never attacked him head-on. Every time, he would narrowly dodge Zhan Tianchen’s attack. It was as if the next second, that scorching hot fist would strike his body.

Even the onlookers felt that it was extremely dangerous. However, Zhan Tianchen’s expression did not look too good.

He had confidence in his own strength. It was impossible for his attacks to miss every time. If it was an accident once or twice, it could not be the same every time.

Unless there was only one possibility, and that was that the person in front of him was much stronger than him. Only then would he be able to dodge.

Zhan Tianchen’s expression was unsightly. The time for half an incense stick to burn had passed, and he had used up quite a bit of spiritual power. On the other hand, Gu Xi’s breathing was steady, and those who did not know would think that he was taking a stroll.

Zhan Tianchen gritted his teeth, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Zhan Tianchen was not the only one who had noticed something. After all, there were quite a few people here who were outstanding among their peers.

“That’s not right. Based on Zhan Tianchen’s ability, it’s impossible for his attacks to miss. Isn’t this too strange?”

The others also noticed that something was wrong. They said in disbelief, “Could it be that he’s deliberately avoiding the attack and not retaliating? What’s the purpose of doing this?”

The people from the Star Viewing Pavilion looked at the bead on the light pillar, then at the astrolabe in their hands. The needle on the astrolabe was moving crazily, completely out of control. Finally, it stopped at a spot, which was the direction of the bead.

“What other reason is there? That kid must be stalling for time.”

Meng Hang was also in the crowd, and a vicious smile appeared on his pale face.

At this moment, a beam of divine light suddenly burst out. It was filled with unspeakable malice and distortion. “Go to Hell!”

No one had expected that someone would suddenly launch a sneak attack. Although it was to obtain a supreme treasure, nobody expected such underhanded methods. It was a bit despicable and shameless.

At this moment, Gu Xi was dodging the fist attack. He completely did not sense the danger approaching from behind. By the time he sensed it, it was already too late. There was a wolf in front and a tiger behind. There was simply no way to avoid it.

Meng Hang laughed heartily. He was sure that this Gu Xi would either die or be crippled.

Gu Xi summoned his dragon scale and instantly transformed it into a Dragon Scale Sword. With a light wave, the golden light transformed into countless scales. It was like a torrential rain that filled the sky. In an instant, the mountains and rivers were cut off. The sun and moon fell, blocking Meng Hang and Zhan Tianchen’s attacks.

Meng Hang’s face was deathly pale, and he once again spat out a large mouthful of blood. He lowered his head in disbelief, only to see a golden scale sticking out from the center of his chest.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before their eyes. It was the same move that neutralized the attacks of Zhan Tianchen and Meng Hang.

At the same time, the light within the pillar of light gradually diminished, as if it had been completely absorbed by the bead. Its surface became sparkling and translucent, as if it was made of glass.

Astrology Pavilion’s Xing Hun was somewhat lost in thought as he felt that this bead seemed to have some sort of magical power. The astrologer’s astrolabe in his hand could not be controlled, and it broke free. It was floating in mid-air.

It was said that his astrolabe was made from meteorites, and it was mixed with the power of the stars. There had never been such a phenomenon before.

Xing Hun used blood as a guide, drawing out complex patterns on the astrolabe. The Astrology Pavilion’s disciples all knew that using a secondary technique would require a huge price, and one would require a long time to recuperate once they lose their Blood Essence.

A huge totem appeared on the astrological disc. It was actually the miniature version of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. There was a faint bead flickering within, countless light dots connected to it. Such a magnificent scene was akin to being in the boundless universe.

Xing Hun seemed to have seen something unbelievable. After that, his entire body became incomparably weak.

If it was not for the astrology Astrology Pavilion hurriedly going forward and supporting him, he would have already fallen to the ground in a sorry state.
