Chapter 254 Gu Sheng Is in Danger This Time
"Gu Sheng is in danger this time. Linghu Jianying's cultivation is one level higher. The outcome of this duel has been decided."
The disciple of the Mad Blade Sect shook his head with a look of regret.
"Yes, Linghu Jianying's Dugu Nine Swords is extremely powerful. Even if Gu Sheng has the Gale Sword Technique and Shadow Hide, it is difficult to resist." A disciple of the Thousand Poison Sect echoed.
Everyone was talking about it, but Gu Sheng was unmoved. He knew that he was at a disadvantage, but he did not give up.
Every time he swung his sword and dodged, he concentrated all his mind.
Suddenly, Linghu Jianying swung his sword, and the Soul-Breaking Shadowless Sword with a sharp sword energy went straight to Gu Sheng's vitals.
Gu Sheng moved his body and Shadow Hide was activated, but he failed to completely avoid the attack. The sword energy cut a hole in his shoulder, and blood stained his clothes red.
"Haha, it seems that Gu Sheng is no longer good. This sword is enough to make him lose his fighting power." The disciple of the Giant Sword Sect laughed.
"Isn't this Gu Sheng a bit arrogant? He dares to challenge even though his cultivation level is only one major realm lower than his." Emperor Yunwu looked at Gu Sheng on the martial arts field with some disdain.
Although there is a draw in the martial arts competition, it is also divided into ranks. The ranks are assigned only after the other party agrees.
Gu Sheng agreed to compete with the marrow refining realm.
"Father, please continue to watch. This Gu Sheng is a talent, very evil!" Yun Zishuang's face showed an arc, obviously, he has great confidence in Gu Sheng.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Sheng had been defeated, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared again, he had come behind Linghu Jianying, and the Shuihan Sword pierced the opponent's vest with a sharp sword energy.
"This... what's going on?!" Everyone exclaimed, and they didn't expect Gu Sheng to be able to turn defeat into victory under such a disadvantage.
Linghu Jianying was shocked. He never thought that Gu Sheng could break through his defense at the critical moment.
He hastily swung his sword to block, but it was too late.
With a light "puff", the Shuihan Sword had pierced Linghu Jianying's body.
A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly fell to the ground.
The whole place was silent, and everyone was shocked by Gu Sheng's attack and was speechless.
They never thought that this young man who was in the middle stage of the ninth level of the Golden Bone Realm could turn defeat into victory in the hands of Linghu Jianying, who was in the early stage of the Refining Marrow Realm.
"This... This is incredible!" A disciple of the Governor's Mansion exclaimed.
"Gu Sheng's Swift Wind Sword Skill and Shadow Hiding are so powerful that he can successfully counterattack under such a disadvantage." A disciple of the Haoyang Sect exclaimed.
In the arena, Gu Sheng put away the Shuihan Sword, took a deep breath, and walked down the arena.
"The next game, Liu Ruhai of the Liu Family will fight against Dyson of the Shengdan Sect."
As the voice of the Governor's Mansion sounded, the competition continued.
In the royal arena, the silver moon was like a hook, and the stars were shining.
The two sides of the duel were Liu Ruhai from the Liu family and Dyson from the Shengdan Sect.
Both of them were at the peak of the Silver Bone Realm and were equally strong, which added a bit of suspense to the duel.
"Dyson is from the Shengdan Sect, Senior Brother Gu Sheng, he should be able to win!" A disciple from the Mu family whispered.
"Not necessarily, I've seen several disciples from the Shengdan Sect compete, and not all of them won!" A disciple from the Qiandu Sect said with certainty.
"You'll know after watching the duel, wait and see!"
Liu Ruhai, dressed in a white robe, looked like a dashing gentleman, holding an ancient long sword named Haiyuan Sword.
His sword technique was called the Drunken Life and Dreaming Death Sword Technique, and the unique thing about it was that he needed to drink a pot of strong liquor before the battle to let the alcohol burn in his body and stimulate the greatest power of the sword technique.
At this moment, he was already slightly tipsy, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow up the entire duel.
Dyson, on the other hand, was dressed in a black robe, holding a mysterious weapon that flashed with cold light in his hand, called the Dyson Sphere.
This mysterious weapon could be transformed into a metal sphere under the impetus of his true qi, wrapping the opponent in it and forming a powerful fighting force. He had a smug smile on his face, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
The atmosphere in the arena was extremely tense.
The audience was talking about it, some were optimistic about Liu Ruhai, and some were sure that Dyson would win.
"Brother Dyson will definitely win, he is a genius disciple of our Shengdan Sect!"
A disciple from Shengdan Sect shouted excitedly.
"Maybe not, Liu Ruhai's swordsmanship of drunkenness and dreaming is not a joke. I heard that he once cut off a small mountain with one sword when he was drunk!"
Elder Fengxing of Qiandu Sect stroked his beard, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.
Dyson didn't seem to hear these discussions. He stared at Liu Ruhai intently, waiting for his opponent's attack.
At this moment, Liu Ruhai suddenly moved. His figure was like the wind, and he swung out a sword, carrying a strong smell of alcohol and amazing sword intent, directly hitting Dyson's vitals.
Dyson was surprised. He didn't expect Liu Ruhai to attack so decisively.
He hurriedly urged the Dyson ball, and a metal sphere was formed instantly, blocking Liu Ruhai's attack.
At this moment, Liu Ruhai suddenly disappeared from the spot, and his figure was like a ghost, erratic and unpredictable.
"What's going on? How could Liu Ruhai move instantly?"
The audience exclaimed again and again. They had never seen such a strange body movement.
Dyson's face also changed drastically. He felt an unprecedented crisis.
He hurriedly activated the Dyson Sphere, trying to find Liu Ruhai, but to no avail.
At this moment, Liu Ruhai's voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Brother Dyson, your Dyson Sphere doesn't seem to be very good."
Dyson was startled, he turned back suddenly, only to find Liu Ruhai standing behind him, with the Haiyuan Sword in his hand pointing at his throat.
"I... I lost." Dyson smiled bitterly, he knew he had lost, lost to this seemingly free and easy young man.
Warm applause and cheers broke out in the arena, the audience cheered for Liu Ruhai's victory, and also admired this imaginative competition.
What is the Dyson Sphere? It is a treasure that Gu Sheng got in the Chiyun Abyss, a lower-grade Xuan-level, originally called the True Qi Golden Sphere Shield, and Gu Sheng gave it to Dyson.
Thinking of the Dyson Sphere in later astrophysics, it was named the Dyson Sphere by the way, which just happened to fit.
The martial arts competition was in full swing, and the disciples of the two sects and three schools showed their strengths, with swords flashing and magic flying, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
No one expected that during the intermission, the Daliang Emperor Yunwuhuang had a sudden idea and proposed that Gu Sheng perform the patriotic song "Loyalty to the Country".
He had heard Princess Zishuang say that Gu Sheng's performance of "Loyalty to the Country" was simply the best national mobilization order.
So, today, no matter what, Gu Sheng must show it.
It will be of great use in the future!
Gu Sheng had to follow the emperor's will.
Gu Sheng, a disciple of the Shengdan Sect, not only had a high level of cultivation, but also outstanding talent.
At this moment, he stood on the martial arts field, facing the puzzled eyes of everyone, and could only bite the bullet and accept this sudden task.
The sound of the guqin started, and Gu Sheng sang: "Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon rides, the horse neighs, the sword is like frost..."
His voice seemed to have magic, making everyone present seem to be in that ancient battlefield.
Under the blessing of Gu Sheng's spiritual energy, the Huanling Guqin transformed into a series of shocking pictures.
People seemed to see the ancient battlefield, with smoke billowing, iron cavalry like dragons, swords and shadows, and cold light like frost.
The audience was excited, as if they had also transformed into Erlang, who was galloping on the battlefield, fighting bloody battles for the glory of the country.
"Mr. Gu is so talented!" someone in the audience exclaimed.
"I really saw the ancient battlefield!" someone else exclaimed.
"Mr. Gu is really a master craftsman."
People talked about it and expressed their sincere admiration for Gu Sheng's talent.
Even Emperor Yunwu was fascinated by it and completely forgot the majesty and face of the emperor. He cheered loudly:
"Mr. Gu is comparable to a million soldiers!"
Princess Yun Zishuang stood in the crowd, her eyes fixed on Gu Sheng.
She saw her father's high evaluation of Gu Sheng, and also saw Gu Sheng's unruly style on the field.
A ripple appeared in her heart, and she developed a strong interest in Gu Sheng.
"This kid is indeed talented." Yun Zishuang thought to herself, "But it's not that easy to take him down."
After the martial arts competition, the disciples of the major sects talked about it.
"Gu Sheng's voice is sharper than a sword!" The disciples of the Crazy Blade Sect exclaimed.
"Hmph, what's the use of singing? If you want to talk about strength, you have to look at the swordsmanship of our Giant Sword Sect!"
The disciples of the Giant Sword Sect said unconvinced.
"Don't argue, Gu Sheng's Huanling Guqin is a secret treasure of the Shengdan Sect, which is not something that ordinary people can compare to."
The disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect interrupted.
"However, Gu Sheng's unruly character may not be so easy to tame."
The disciples of the Supervisor's Mansion said thoughtfully.
These discussions came one after another, and the disciples of the major sects were all paying attention to Gu Sheng.
But Gu Sheng himself turned a deaf ear to these discussions. He was devoted to martial arts, lived out himself, and pursued a higher realm.
Princess Yun Zishuang was also paying attention to Gu Sheng.
She knew that it would take more effort and patience to take down Gu Sheng.
But she was not afraid, because she had firm determination and ambition, and she believed that she would succeed.
As time went on, Princess Yun Zishuang began to approach Gu Sheng actively during the intervals of the martial arts competition.
She invited him to the banquet in the name of the royal family, hoping to communicate with him further.
Although Gu Sheng was a little confused, he still accepted her invitation.
At the banquet, Princess Yun Zishuang showed her elegance and charm.
She talked and laughed with Gu Sheng, trying to get closer to each other.
Gu Sheng seemed unmoved, and he kept a certain distance and vigilance.
"Brother Gu Sheng, your talent is really admirable." Princess Yun Zishuang said with a smile.
"Princess, you are too kind." Gu Sheng responded lightly.
"I wonder if Brother Gu Sheng is interested in joining our Governor's Mansion?"
Princess Yun Zishuang suddenly made an invitation.
Gu Sheng frowned, he did not expect Princess Yun Zishuang to make such a direct invitation.
He was silent for a moment, then politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I am already a disciple of the Shengdan Sect and cannot betray my master."
Princess Yun Zishuang did not give up, she knew it would take time and patience.
She decided to start with Gu Sheng's friends and relatives, understand his preferences and personality, and find a way to impress him.
In the following days, Princess Yun Zishuang frequently appeared in Gu Sheng's sight.
She touched Gu Sheng's heart with her sincerity and kindness, and he began to like her.
However, Gu Sheng still maintains a certain degree of vigilance and distance. He is not sure of Princess Yun Zishuang's true purpose and motivation.
In the process, Princess Yun Zishuang also gradually learned about Gu Sheng's inner world and growth experience.
She saw the hard work and dedication behind him, as well as his firmness and persistence in martial arts and faith.
This made her more determined and confident to take down Gu Sheng.
"Brother Gu Sheng, I know you have your own persistence and belief." Princess Yun Zishuang looked at Gu Sheng affectionately and said,
“But I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a more brilliant future.
I am willing to fight side by side with you and pursue the peak of martial arts together. "
Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he looked at Princess Yun Zishuang's firm eyes and persistent expression.
He knew that this was a girl full of ambition and determination, working hard to pursue her dreams.
He just wanted to blur the passion for the princess.
It will be decided when the time comes.
"Your Highness, I am willing to work with you to pursue the peak of martial arts." Gu Sheng finally said.
Princess Yun Zishuang had a bright smile on her face when she heard Gu Sheng's answer.
"In the next match, Shengdan Sect Mo Buwen will fight against Haoyang Sect Lin Qingyu."
"In the next match, Zeng Mengbiao of the Crazy Sword Sect will fight against Gongsun Ao of the Great Sword Sect."
"In the next match, Thousand Poison Sect Baili Piaoxue will fight against the Qian family's Qian Duoduo."
…
The competition continued one after another, and finally came to the peak showdown between the two powers.
The sky of the Royal Arena was torn apart by the brilliant glow, and the arena became the focus of attention from all parties.
The duel between the disciples of the two major sects, the Haoyang Sect and the Shengdan Sect, was like the collision of two bright stars, arousing the blood and expectations of countless people.
Gu Sheng, a peak powerhouse of the Golden Bone Realm of the Holy Pill Sect, holds the Xuan-level Jade Girl Sword. His whole body seems to be shrouded in golden light, showing the supreme majesty of the ancient holy body.
And Lin Tianhao, a second-level master of the Marrow Refining Realm of Haoyang Sect, also holds the Jade Girl Sword, with a sword-like eyebrow and starry eyes, and a rainbow-like aura.
"Hmph, although Gu Sheng is strong, Lin Tianhao is a level higher than him. His Haoyang Sword Technique is even better. He will definitely be able to avenge his shame today!"
A disciple of the Crazy Blade Sect had cold eyes and was obviously hostile to Gu Sheng.
"What a joke, Gu Sheng's physical strength can crush steel, let alone Lin Tianhao?"
A female disciple of Shengdan Sect retorted, her eyes full of admiration.
The battle is about to break out, the two men are intertwined, their swords are shining brightly. Gu Sheng's Gale Sword Technique was like a violent storm, while Lin Tianhao's Haoyang Sword Technique was like the scorching sun in the sky.
On the competition ground, the sword energy was everywhere and the golden light was shining brightly, as if the whole world was dyed with the color of battle.
"Gu Sheng, your ancient holy body is indeed extraordinary, but if you want to win against me, you need to work harder!"
Lin Tianhao's eyes flashed with determination, and every swing of his sword carried the power to tear the air. (End of chapter)
