Chapter 417: Fighting Qi Feng

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Xi’s voice reverberated in everyone’s ears. The huge arena once again fell into a long silence. It was a deathly silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The people in the stands stared with their eyes wide open. The shock in their hearts did not dissipate for a long time.

They could never have imagined that an unknown disciple from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would actually defeat two people from the Ancient Sect in such a forceful manner.

“Qi Feng, it’s your turn.” Below, Xie Long’s voice was filled with anger.

Two consecutive battles had ended at such an unexpected speed. This was two resounding slaps to their Ancient Sect!

If this continued, they would become the laughingstock of the world!

“Elder Xie, don’t worry. I will definitely not let this fellow continue to be so arrogant,” a handsome man said in a deep voice and jumped onto the arena.

“Qi Feng from the Ancient Sect.” The man cupped his hands toward Gu Xi, his expression still full of solemnity.

“It’s Qi Feng. This disciple of the ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion should be defeated, right?”

“Of course. Qi Feng is Xie Long’s personal disciple. It’s said that he’s not inferior to the personal disciple of the Ancient Sect’s Sect Master.”

As soon as Qi Feng entered the arena, the people in the stands began to discuss.

Obviously, they all recognized Qi Feng’s identity and had great confidence in his strength.

“So your Ancient Sect also has some good stuff. I thought your sect only had these crooked things.”

Gu Xi looked at Qi Feng slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to the previous two, Qi Feng was still fundamentally different.

As Xie Long’s personal disciple, Qi Feng had already stepped into the Saint stage half a year ago. Now, he had gradually reached the threshold of the intermediate Saint stage.

As long as he cultivated steadily for a period of time, or if there were any opportunities along the way, breaking through to the intermediate Saint stage was just a matter of time.

“Your strength has indeed surprised me a little.” Qi Feng also sized up Gu Xi before continuing, “If I’m not wrong, you should be focusing on the physical body, right?”

Qi Feng’s words were filled with certainty.

After all, Gu Xi had defeated the two of them with lightning-fast methods previously. He did not use any spirit techniques or spirit arrays or other methods. Instead, he used the strength of his physical body to face them head-on. This was also the reason why Qi Feng was so certain.

“I have indeed cultivated my physical body,” Gu Xi nodded his head and said noncommittally.

“That’s a pity.” Qi Feng smiled slightly. He clenched his hands and two short and delicate daggers immediately appeared in his hands. He continued, “I have always been famous for my speed. As someone who specializes in the physical body… I think that speed should not be your strong point.”

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes. An unnoticeable glint flashed deep within his eyes.

Qi Feng’s words were indeed correct. Cultivators who focused on cultivating their physical bodies would often temper their body’s defensive capabilities and strength. As a result, once the burden on the body increased, the corresponding speed of the body would also be limited to a certain extent, it was even inferior to ordinary cultivators.

And in the eyes of a cultivator like Qi Feng who specialized in speed, a cultivator who specialized in cultivating his physical body was undoubtedly a kind of punching bag… A living target!

“This kid specializes in cultivating his physical body? If that’s really the case, I’m afraid he’ll be at a disadvantage against Qi Feng!” In the room, Tang Conglin spoke with some worry, but he soon came to an understanding. Regardless of whether Gu Xi could win this match or not, they already had a great advantage.

Gu Xi had defeated two opponents. One for two, no matter how they calculated it, it would not be a loss.

Moreover, since Gu Xi had made a good start, their morale had also improved greatly, while the morale of the Ancient Sect had decreased correspondingly.

Compared to Tang Conglin’s worry, Tong Shan was a little confused.

Was Gu Xi really a physical body cultivator?

Could a physical body cultivator really turn the Hall of Flowing Light upside down?

“No matter what, I don’t think Qi Feng will win too easily.” After thinking for a while, Tong Shan still could not come up with a reason. He could only shake his head helplessly and wait for Gu Xi’s performance.

At the same time, the match below had already begun under the referee’s command.

Almost at the same time, Qi Feng moved.

His body trembled, and his entire body mysteriously disappeared from where he stood.

Gu Xi raised his brows, and a vast spiritual sense gushed out from his mind in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire arena.

“His speed is indeed not ba,” Gu Xi muttered to himself.

Even with his current spiritual sense, he was unable to capture Qi Feng’s figure clearly. He could only barely see the afterimages.

Among those in the same cultivation realm, Qi Feng’s speed was the fastest he had ever seen.

A cold light flashed, and a sharp short dagger appeared, stabbing out at an extremely fast speed.

Its target was Gu Xi’s chest. If it hit, even if it would not kill him, it would at least make him lose his ability to fight instantly.

Gu Xi seemed to have expected this. Before he made any move, spiritual energy barriers suddenly appeared around his body, enveloping his entire body.

Bang bang bang bang–

The spiritual energy barriers exploded one after another, not blocking the speed of the short dagger at all. Obviously, this dagger was a high-level spirit tool.

At the critical moment, Gu Xi moved to the side and narrowly avoided this attack.

“Your reaction is not bad, but that’s all you’ve got.” Qi Feng’s voice came from all directions. It was as if he was everywhere.

In the face of his praise, Gu Xi chuckled and said, “Speed is indeed very effective against opponents who specialize in cultivating the body. I have to admit this.”

As he said this, the spiritual energy around Gu Xi’s body surged and boiled even more.

Under his control, a large amount of spiritual energy entered the ground and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared before.

“I said that I cultivated my physical body, but I didn’t say that it’s the only thing I cultivate.” Gu Xi’s voice sounded again, and in the next moment, the entire arena shook.

“What’s going on?!” Qi Feng, who was wandering around, suddenly stopped. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

He was not the only one. Xie Long, Hou Yu, the audience in the stands, the judges on the high platform, and Tang Conglin, who was in the room, all had blank expressions on their faces.

At the same time, a pattern appeared on the ground of the arena below.

As the first pattern appeared, it was as if a switch had been turned on. One after another, patterns that were filled with spiritual energy appeared. There were actually thousands of them. As these patterns crisscrossed, forming a huge spirit array.

“He used a spirit array?!”

“This fellow actually has such a move?!”

“Look at this fluctuation. It’s actually an earth-grade spirit array!”
