The huge arena was in an uproar.

No one present had expected that apart from having a strong physical body, Gu Xi was also proficient in spirit arrays. He was a genuine spirit array master.

“This is it for the speed you are so proud of.” Gu Xi’s gaze fell on Qi Feng, who was not far away.

He did not use the heaven-grade spirit array to deal with Qi Feng. This was also to conceal his true strength as much as possible. Moreover, once he revealed the fact that he could set up a heaven-grade spirit array, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation here.

Moreover, Qi Feng was only at the early stage of the Saint. An earth-grade spirit array was more than enough to deal with him. There was no need to use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.

Under the cover of the spirit array, the speed advantage that Qi Feng was proud of was rendered completely useless. His every move could be said to be under Gu Xi’s watch.

“Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion… is really surprising!” feeling the terrifying fluctuation of the spirit array under his feet, Qi Feng gritted his teeth and said.

Gu Xi smiled slightly and did not respond to him. What responded to him was the huge spirit array that began to operate under his feet.

The huge spirit array slowly began to operate. Under Gu Xi’s control, all the spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles began to gather in this direction. The excess spirit energy was like a mountain descending, the pressure made Qi Feng unable to breathe.

The current him could be said to be unable to move an inch.

Even though Qi Feng was desperately circulating the spirit energy in his body in an attempt to increase his movement speed, in reality, his speed was not even one or two-tenths of what it was before.

“You are indeed very strong, but do you think you can defeat me just like that?!”

Qi Feng suddenly raised his head, and his eyes had unknowingly become bloodshot.

Surging spiritual power burst out from his body, and the initial stage of the Saint stage was completely unleashed without holding back. There was not the slightest bit of surplus.

This instantaneous burst made Qi Feng’s entire body light up, and in a short period of time, he broke free from the restriction of the spirit array formation. Immediately after, his entire body charged out at an extremely fast speed.

The short dagger in his hand flashed with an icy cold light, becoming somewhat illusory.

“Shadow Blade,” Qi Feng silently muttered. He could already feel that the mountain-like heavy pressure was about to make a comeback, and he only had this one chance to erupt.

It was only now that he realized the gap between him and Gu Xi.

The illusory short dagger started to turn dark, leaving behind two pitch-black glows wherever it passed. The sharp aura seemed to cut through the void, but in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Gu Xi.

Qi Feng’s eyes lit up, and the short dagger mercilessly stabbed at Gu Xi’s face.

Right now, he could no longer care about the rules of the Grand Sect Competition. What he had to do was force Gu Xi to give up on controlling the spirit array formation. Only in this way could he have a chance to win this competition.

If Gu Xi did not give up on controlling the spirit array formation, then the two cold and merciless short daggers that greeted him would most likely end his life!

However, what surprised him was that Gu Xi did not have the slightest intention of dodging. Instead, he stood on the spot without moving.

“Do you really think that it’s so easy for you to break free from this earth-grade spiritual formation?” Gu Xi suddenly spoke when the distance between the two of them was only a few inches away.

Hearing this, Qi Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle’s tip. He thought to himself that things were not looking good, and immediately wanted to withdraw and retreat.

A cold smile appeared on Gu Xi’s face. With a wave of his hand, the speed of the spirit array’s operation suddenly increased by more than a few times. The heavy pressure above him mercilessly slanted downwards and ruthlessly crashed into Qi Feng’s body.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Qi Feng’s body fell to the ground.

His eyes widened as he stared at Gu Xi, who was right in front of him.

“How is this possible…” He opened his mouth and managed to squeeze out these words with great difficulty.

Only now did he understand that he was able to break free from the spirit array for a short period of time because Gu Xi intentionally gave him such a chance.

“If you and I were in the same cultivation realm, perhaps you would indeed be able to break free.” Gu Xi said faintly and his large hand quietly covered Qi Feng’s head.

Relying on his advantage in cultivation, he had set up a trap for Qi Feng, giving him a chance to turn the tables. Only then did Qi Feng obediently deliver himself to his doorstep.

Killing intent rose in Gu Xi’s heart. He knew that Qi Feng could be considered a genuine Heaven’s Favored Son in the Ancient Sect. He absolutely could not stay.

Since he had long become enemies with the Ancient Sect, he naturally would not let go of such a great opportunity. As long as he killed Qi Feng, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the Ancient Sect.

It was rare to see such a genius, and a good disciple.

Gu Xi no longer hesitated when he thought of this. He exerted a little strength with his large hand. He could even hear the sound of Qi Feng’s skull shattering.

“Don’t you dare!”

At the same time, a stern cry sounded.

In the next moment, Xie Long’s figure suddenly appeared from below the stage. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Gu Xi. Immediately, he ruthlessly threw a palm at him.

Gu Xi’s expression hardened. He was not surprised by Xie Long’s appearance.

Since Qi Feng was this fellow’s personal disciple, Xie Long would definitely not watch his own disciple die so easily in front of his eyes.

Gu Xi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless in the face of Xie Long.

A mountain-like pressure landed on Xie Long’s body. At the same time, he struck out with his palm.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening boom, Gu Xi’s figure instantly retreated explosively, while Xie Long and Qi Feng also retreated more than ten steps.

Xie Long did not choose to continue chasing after Gu Xi. Instead, he hurriedly looked at Qi Feng in his arms and discovered that the latter was already on his last breath.

If he had arrived any later, he was afraid that he would have to bid farewell to his personal disciple forever.

“What a pity.” Looking at Qi Feng who was not completely dead, Gu Xi shook his head regretfully.

“You Brat, how dare you attempt to kill here!” Xie Long glared at Gu Xi, wishing that he could tear Gu Xi into pieces.

Seeing that Xie Long was about to attack again, the referee’s figure appeared in the middle of the two, thus avoiding the following battle.

“In this competition, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wins!”

The referee coldly glanced at Xie Long and continued, “Due to the Ancient Sect violating the rules of the competition, the Ancient Sect has been eliminated, and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has advanced!”

As soon as these words were said, the scene was once again in an uproar.

Gu Xi smiled faintly, as if he had already expected this.

According to the rules of the competition that he understood, if any party were to interfere with the competition during the duels, then the party that interfered would be immediately eliminated.

In other words, the current Ancient Sect had no chance with this Grand Sect Competition.
