Chapter 244: General Versus General

And it was also at this moment that the Ice Heaven Gu formation that Junior Bing Ning had set up earlier echoed with the newly formed Ice Field Gu formation, one up and one down.

The two great sources of frost started to approach the members of the Liuyun Sect!

Their bodies started to stiffen rapidly, and their battle states were greatly affected.

It was also at this moment that Qin Wentian’s heart was filled with rage. After dealing with the two disciples of the Liuyun Sect, he grabbed the ancient halberd in his hand and jumped up, slashing it towards Zhou Chang’s defensive barrier.

And at this moment, the opportunity Fang Yuan had been waiting for had arrived!

A leopard-like figure appeared from the corner of Stage 9. With the speed of lightning, he arrived behind one of the disciples of the Liuyun Sect.

The Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod in his hand mercilessly smashed down on the disciple’s head. The disciple didn’t even have time to groan before he fell down.

Fang Yuan held the Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod tightly and continued to entertain the other disciples of the Liuyun sect. In just three punches and two kicks, the remaining three disciples of the Liuyun sect had also fallen down.

Fang Yuan effortlessly defeated these ordinary disciples.

And at this moment, Qin Wentian’s ancient halberd collided with Zhou Chang’s Thorn Defense Gu formation and Large-scale Group Defense Gu formation. The sounds of grinding could be heard as the two of them actually came to a deadlock!

Seeing Junior Zhou Chang blocking Qin Wentian’s attack, Fang Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up. He gripped the Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod tightly and prepared to charge forward.

At this moment, Qin Wentian was also caught unprepared by the changes in front of him. As he sensed the intense intent of attack from Fang Yuan behind him, he quickly made a decision in his heart!

After which, he gave up on the prey right in front of him and turned his head to deal with Fang Yuan, who was behind him.

This was because Qin Wentian’s actual strength had already reached the Fusion Realm. Right now, he was at the Enlightenment Realm, but in reality, his physique and reflexes were all at the Fusion Realm!

The only thing that could be suppressed was the extent to which he could mobilize his spirit essence.

At this moment, facing the sudden attack from Fang Yuan, even though he was facing the Thorn Defense Gu formation below, Qin Wentian still calmly kept the ancient halberd in his hands.

After which, he swiftly moved to the side of Zhou Chang’s defensive barrier and immediately turned around to look at Fang Yuan’s attack.

That golden Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod rapidly magnified in Qin Wentian’s eyes.

And at this moment, there was actually no trace of fear in his eyes. In fact, there was even a trace of excitement. This was because he had finally met an opponent whose strength was almost on par with his own.

After the battle in the alley last night, Fang Yuan was already able to completely limit the elemental ability of the Extension Energy Gu to the inside of the Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod!

It was only when an attack struck the enemy’s weapon or body that the hidden ability would surge out like a raging volcano.

Hence, the current Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod was like an ordinary mortal’s, and there was no mystical phenomenon or other light shining out.

And it was very obvious that Qin Wentian, who was standing opposite Fang Yuan, was also such a person!

Furthermore, Gu masters who were able to achieve such a feat like Fang Yuan were all extremely confident in their own strength and had a clear judgment of the situation on the battlefield.

And for such a person, every time they met other Gu masters who were similar to them, they would be filled with the same cherishing feelings and excitement!

Hence, Qin Wentian, who thought that he had already met an opponent of the same level as him, felt extremely excited in his heart as he stared at Fang Yuan who was rapidly rushing over. It was to the extent that he had already forgotten about the victory and defeat of the Liuyun Sect!

He had forgotten about Zhou Chang and Bing Ning, as well as Wan Qian and Gu Tianqing, who were eyeing him from the side.

Lifting the ancient halberd in his right hand, Qin Wentian casually spun it in a circle before looking at Fang Yuan from afar.

He was asking if he wanted to fight!

Without a doubt, Fang Yuan only had one answer to such a question, and that was to fight to the end!

Hence, after receiving Fang Yuan’s hint, Qin Wentian also dragged his ancient halberd forward. The two of them seemed to have a mission in mind, and finally, under the final shaping of fate, they appeared and met in a specific situation.

Because Fang Yuan had the help of the Extension Energy Gu as well as many other Gu worms, Fang Yuan’s physical attributes, the amount of spirit essence surging in his body, and his reaction speed far surpassed those of his peers.

And precisely because of Qin Wentian’s self-suppression, the two of them were actually almost on the same level.

When the ancient halberd collided with the golden Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod, not even the judge and the other four Gu Immortal Sect disciples could hear a single sound. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard, as well as the crackling sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.

Because they had already been defeated by Fang Yuan, the four Liuyun Sect disciples had already received the protection of the judge from the ceremony department.

The defensive barrier of Stage 9 had already taken them in, so there was no need to worry about them.

Fang Yuan and Qin Wentian quickly exchanged moves, and at the same time, it wasn’t just a contest of their spirit essence and energy levels.

Because every time Fang Yuan attacked, there would be a large amount of elemental attacks from the Extension Energy Gu, as well as attacks from the Soul Devouring Gu’s Soul Devouring skill. However, Qin Wentian was actually able to resist or defend against all of them!

And correspondingly, Fang Yuan also continuously felt waves of scorching energy that wanted to rush into his body. However, under the effect of the Heaven Suppression talisman in his body, they were temporarily suppressed. Only after the battle was over, Fang Yuan would then deal with them together.

And as the two of them fought, the light in Qin Wentian’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. The will of battle in his heart also grew purer and purer!

In the end, the two of them had already reached the stage where they would use all their strength to deal with each and every move. However, they didn’t have the slightest bit of weariness or impatience.

That was because the two of them were both Gu masters who thirsted for battle and improvement!

Their strength, and every bit of improvement came from their own hard work, and they were also filled with endless fervent desire for the place they were about to arrive at.

Hence, the intense battle between the two of them had already let them forget about the entire Stage 9!

It was as if they had forgotten the purpose of their presence here, and were fighting selflessly.

However, in the end, it was because they were on Stage 9 and Qin Wentian had yet to finish off Zhou Chang and Gu Tianqing, at this moment, Qin Wentian wasn’t fighting Fang Yuan alone. He was fighting against five people from the Gu Immortal Sect.
