Peerless War God

After the Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign left, he disappeared into the horizon.    

Chen Xiao frowned as he pondered.    

The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign was extremely fast, and it was hard to find him in the city other than Chen Xiao, a long life cultivator.    

"Could it be that he has something urgent to do? Is it the north?"    

Chen Xiao held his chin and pondered. For some reason, he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.    

At this time, Qin Daoyuan sensed something and turned his head to ask, "Chen Xiao, what's wrong?"    

Chen Xiao regained his composure and said indifferently, "It's nothing. Let's continue."    

"Alright."    

Very quickly, Qin Daoyuan stepped forward and announced, "Now, the final battle of the Battle Arts Competition has begun."    

"First match, Gu Rou versus Xu Yang."    

Beside the arena below, an elder of the Tribulation Transcender Realm from the Violet Cloud City shouted loudly.    

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly male cultivator holding a saber jumped onto the arena. He swept his eyes around and searched for his opponent.    

He was Xu Yang, a rogue cultivator from an inconspicuous place.    

In the next moment, a fierce figure descended from the sky like an ape. He was a female cultivator wearing a brown and red outfit. She had short braids and a fiery gaze.    

Gu Rou versus Xu Yang, the most intense battle between the descendants of aristocratic families and rogue cultivators.    

After seeing the two of them, the square immediately burst into an uproar.    

"It's actually a female cultivator. She can even break into the arena. Not simple at all."    

"Of course. Those who can reach this stage are definitely extraordinary. Moreover, this girl's surname is Gu. Could it be that she is related to the Gu Clan of the Violet Cloud City?"    

"Xu Yang, put in more effort. Defeat her and show off the prestige of us rogue cultivators. Defeat her. So what if she is a disciple of a cultivation family? Defeat her."    

"A woman dares to be arrogant. She is definitely going to lose."    

For a moment, all sorts of voices were clamoring.    

"Gu Rou?" Chen Xiao's eyebrows twitched. He was a little surprised, but it was within his expectations. He turned his head to look at Gu Li. "Is she a member of your Gu Clan?"    

Gu Li's face was full of smiles as he replied, "Yes, Chen Xiao. Just watch. Gu Rou definitely has the strength to be in the top ten. Defeating Xu Yang is not a problem."    

Qin Daoyuan's mouth twitched. "Stop boasting. If you lose later, it will be ugly."    

"Hmph, she won't lose. Gu Rou's strength was personally taught by me." Gu Li retorted.    

Qin Daoyuan chuckled and did not argue any further.    

Chen Xiao became interested and said, "I remember that Gu Li, you are a body refiner. Is it appropriate for a woman to refine her body?"    

Gu Li laughed and said, "Chen Xiao, you might not know this, but Gu Rou has a natural body. She has boundless strength and is most suitable for the body refining path. You will know later."    

Innate Tyrannical Body? Endless strength?    

Chen Xiao looked at the thin and unremarkable woman on the stage and became more and more curious.    

"Alright, let's wait and see." Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

Seeing that it was about time, the deacon elder shouted, "First match, Gu Rou versus Xu Yang, begin!"    

Xu Yang stood on the stage with a cold gaze. He did not look down on the opponent because she was a female cultivator. Instead, he became more and more cautious.    

The opponent was a female cultivator. She looked ordinary, but she was able to pass through all obstacles and reach this step. She was definitely not a good person.    

He had to give it his all and hit her with a single blow.    

"Wind Shadow Fast Blade, slash!"    

Xu Yang gathered his strength and rushed out like an arrow leaving the bow. He almost flew close to the ground and drew out several afterimages as he slashed at Gu Rou.    

His eyes burst out with a bright light. He was extremely serious. This strike was the most powerful he had ever unleashed.    

For this moment, he had waited for so long. How could he let it go?    

I will defeat you.    

On the spot, Xu Yang's strike was very fast. Gu Rou stood there motionlessly. Her eyes surged with magic power, allowing her to see the opponent's movements clearly.    

"Your speed is not bad, but it's too slow."    

Gu Rou shouted and attacked decisively.    

Her hands appeared with bronze-colored fist armor that covered her arms. Immediately, her aura rose by a large amount, from the early-stage Tribulation Transcender to the mid-stage Tribulation Transcender.    

After that, she struck out with her palm, not dodging nor evading.    

When Xu Yang saw this, he roared furiously, “How dare you look down on me? I will let you know how powerful I am. So what if you are a disciple of a great clan? Don’t look down on me.”    

At this moment, he was furious. In his opinion, this female cultivator was clearly looking down on him since she did not dodge or evade his attack.    

When Gu Rou heard this, a strange look flashed across her eyes, but she remained unmoved.    

Boom!    

A loud explosion sounded, and a shock wave that could be seen by the naked eye was sent out.    

Xu Yang’s full-powered saber attack was blocked by Gu Rou, and she held Xu Yang’s saber with one hand.    

This scene was quite shocking and astonishing.    

“What? Xu Yang’s saber was actually held by her? How is this possible?”    

“Xu Yang’s full-powered saber attack was easily blocked by her. Is the difference in strength so great?”    

“Unbelievable. Is this the disciple of a great clan? As expected, a rogue cultivator cannot compare to her.”    

Xu Yang was greatly shocked and had a look of disbelief on his face. “How is this possible?”    

However, before he could finish speaking, a huge force came from the saber. He was forcefully pulled over, and his body lost its balance, causing him to fall to the ground.    

As the ground in front of his eyes continued to close in and enlarge, Xu Yang shouted, “Oh no!”    

Gu Rou remained expressionless. Her right hand grabbed Xu Yang, causing him to lose his balance. Her left hand punched Xu Yang’s chest, hitting him squarely in the chest.    

Bang!    

With a muffled sound, a cloud of blood exploded from Xu Yang’s body, and his chest caved in from the punch. He flew out of the arena like a rag.    

His entire body was covered in blood. He fell to the ground and had already lost all his strength to resist. His eyes were filled with despair and lifelessness.    

Only then did Gu Rou retract her strength. She smiled and looked at the judge beside her, "He has already fallen off the stage. Why aren't you announcing the victor?"    

The judge swallowed his saliva and quickly said, "Gu Rou wins."    

"Hurry, go and save him. Don't die." The others beside him hurriedly went forward to save Xu Yang.    

After checking for a while, they also heaved a sigh of relief.    

Fortunately, Gu Rou had held back her strength and did not kill him. Xu Yang was only heavily injured, far from the point where his life was at risk.    

However, Xu Yang was completely defeated. His lifeless eyes stared at the sky without moving. It could be seen how great the impact of Gu Rou's light punch was on him.    

He had lost, and he had lost to a woman. It was too embarrassing.    

Gu Li clapped his hands and jumped up. He pointed at Gu Rou who was below the stairs and laughed loudly, "I knew it. Gu Rou will definitely win. Now you know, she's also a genius among the younger generation of the Gu family."    

Qin Dao Yuan nodded, "That's right. She has potential. Chen Xiao, what do you think?"    

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "The strength transformation was used without leaving any traces. And the explosive power of this punch is also not bad. She deserves the title of genius."    

When Gu Li heard this, his mouth was about to split open into the sky. He was overjoyed.
