Chapter 112: Confrontation

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At the front of the forbidden mystic realm.

The black violent aura released from Gu Shuyu’s body was going towards Shen Ran to suppress him, and the area of this pressure became wider and wider.

Shen Ran shook all over, refusing to be outdone.

The mystic light around his body was like a light barrier, unaffected by this corrosive aura. He stood tall and straight without moving.

Gu Shuyu, on the other hand, exuded an aura that was more than a hundred miles wide.

“Boom!!!”

The pressure and aura of the black storm quickly swept over, causing all kinds of changes in the sky in the mystic realm. For a moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and the area within a hundred miles became dark.

In the storm, Gu Shuyu’s expression was cold as he quietly looked at Shen Ran who made no move at all. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He wanted to see how long Shen Ran could last.

He was just showing off his eloquence, a clown who pretended to be calm.

Gu Shuyu’s aura soared, and the layers of pressure immediately shocked the surrounding Itinerant Immortals.

“Gu Shuyu has attacked. This power is so terrifying.”

“As expected of the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. What a powerful spell.”

“This is a collision between two geniuses. They’re really going to fight!”

“It’s obvious that Gu Shuyu’s pressure is even more violent. Shen Ran can only defend and probably won’t be able to last long.”

“…”

The cultivators looked in the direction of the Forbidden Rose Land and discussed it secretly.

Many of them began to guess if Shen Ran would kneel down and kowtow to apologize because he could not withstand Gu Shuyu’s pressure.

“No matter what, Shen Ran is a Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect. From the looks of it, he probably won’t kowtow even if he dies. This is a blatant humiliation.”

“How long can Shen Ran persist in the face of death? There are a group of disciples from the Empyrean Sword Sect behind him”.

“I think Shen Ran would never kowtow if he had some integrity. He would rather die.”

“His talent is outstanding. It’s never too late to take revenge if he endures for a while. He might even beg for mercy in front of the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”

“Shen Ran didn’t attack at all. He must have been scared and didn’t dare to attack.”

“…”

Some cultivators began to analyze the situation.

At that moment, the Empyrean Sword Sect disciple standing behind Shen Ran was about to be unable to withstand the corrosion of this black aura storm. They looked troubled.

Such humiliation was simply unworthy of the great reputation of their Empyrean Sword Sect!

The corners of Gu Shuyu’s mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed indifference.

He wanted to see what Shen Ran would choose.

Even if Shen Ran could last for a moment, the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect behind him could not withstand this black storm.

Once there was the slightest possibility of leakage, this black aura would quickly corrode their souls and cause irreparable damage.

If one was seriously injured, it was even possible that his immortal root would be damaged and he would no longer be able to cultivate. It was a fate worse than death.

“Boom!!!”

Gu Shuyu’s aura rose again. The arrogant storm caused the surrounding roses to quickly wither.

Zhou Ziran and the other geniuses stood in the barrier formed by spiritual energy, waiting to see Shen Ran embarrass himself.

“If Shen Ran can’t satisfy Gu Shuyu, he will probably die from humiliation.”

“Under such coercion, I don’t believe Shen Ran won’t kowtow and admit his mistake.”

Zhou Ziran spoke calmly and turned to look at Shen Ran.

At that moment, the mystic light around Shen Ran did not change at all. It was very firm.

The raging black storm suppressed him crazily. It could not tear open any cracks at all. It only hit the incomparably hard barrier with a bang.

Suddenly, Shen Ran’s expression changed slightly as he looked sideways.

Seeing that the other disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect were about to collapse, Shen Ran’s body shook again. An even faster mystic light quickly erupted, completely enveloping these disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect, forming a powerful barrier.

The barrier suddenly dispersed, and a ferocious pressure quickly attacked Gu Shuyu.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the two auras collided fiercely, causing a huge energy fluctuation within a hundred miles.

When the Itinerant Immortals sensed this aura, their pupils dilated.

“How is this possible? Shen Ran actually withstood Gu Shuyu’s pressure??”

“Shen Ran has attacked?”

“I didn’t expect Shen Ran to withstand the pressure of this seventh level Illumination Realm expert.”

“…”

While some of the Itinerant Immortals were shocked, there were also some who had already come to a conclusion about this battle.

So what if he can withstand the pressure? He’ll still die in the end.

“Gu Shuyu didn’t use his full strength at all.”

“…”

At the front of the forbidden mystic realm.

The mockery in Gu Shuyu’s eyes deepened. He had indeed not used his full strength.

However, he was indeed surprised that Shen Ran could withstand it.

When Chen Beixuan saw this, he gritted his teeth and secretly wiped his sweat.

He was more anxious than anyone present to see Shen Ran die immediately.

“I didn’t expect him to really hold on.” Chen Beixuan’s eyes were deep and he was also shocked. “Shen Ran, you can’t protect them at all. In the end, you’ll only die faster.”

Chen Beixuan muttered under his breath and looked in Shen Ran’s direction viciously.

Just as the two sides were fighting, the sky suddenly lit up. Golden light scattered, and a golden warhorse came on the clouds, emitting a clanging sound.

The warhorse’s posture was mighty. Wherever it passed, golden light enveloped it, causing violent air tremors.

On the horse, Lei Qianren, majestic-looking, held a sharp blade and looked down at the situation below.

There was excitement in his eyes, and then he said playfully, “I didn’t expect Gu Shuyu to go against Shen Ran.”

At this moment, the itinerant cultivators looked up and saw the golden light. They knew that Lei Qianren had arrived.

“Another prodigy has arrived.”

“I didn’t expect Lei Qianren from the Beast Taming Mountain to come and join in the fun.”

“Could it be that he specially came to help?”

“Could it be that this prodigy wants to help Shen Ran?”

“…”

All the itinerant cultivators began to speculate about Lei Qianren’s arrival.

However, to their disappointment, Lei Qianren did not intend to help Shen Ran. Instead, he was like the others, watching and waiting.

Lei Qianren descended slowly, his battle blade scraping the ground with a clang.

Then he looked at the cold and arrogant Gu Shuyu and then at Shen Ran, whose expression did not change. He could not help but laugh. “It seems that I came at the wrong time.”

At this moment, neither side should interfere in the confrontation between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Empyrean Sword Sect. Otherwise, they would offend the other party.

As a prodigy of the Beast Taming Mountain, Lei Qianren chose to remain neutral.

Like the other geniuses, he stepped aside.

However, through Lei Qianren’s observation, he somewhat admired Shen Ran.

Shen Ran knew that he could not resist Gu Shuyu, but he still did not retreat in order to protect the Empyrean Sword Sect. His expression was calm, and he indeed had the demeanor of a future True Emperor.

Unfortunately…

Lei Qianren shook his head, feeling that Shen Ran should take a step back.

He knew Gu Shuyu’s personality well. At this moment, Gu Shuyu was just humiliating Shen Ran.
