Chapter 233 Competition_1
About the Sun Flame Stone, Gu Chen naturally inquired within the internal records of the Jing Tian Department and knew its specific appearance.
And at this moment, this wonder that Gu Chen had been yearning for finally appeared before him.
Gu Chen couldn't help but be excited, because it related to whether he could cultivate a unique type of Gang Qi!
At the same time, Gu Chen also saw Zhuo Siyuan and others, at this moment, Zhuo Siyuan and his group were also staring at Gu Chen.
This was their first encounter with each other.
Zhuo Siyuan smiled slightly, with bursts of light radiating from around him, and said, "Is this the widely known Lord Gu Chen?"
Wu Changyun also spoke, "Brother Gu, we meet again."
Ning Tian glanced indifferently at Gu Chen and did not acknowledge him.
Qiu Zhen, his eyes cold, assessed Gu Chen up and down like a venomous snake.
Tang Xiao stood in the back, his face complex as he looked at Gu Chen, during the gathering at Yao Platform he could still be considered as Gu Chen's opponent, but now, Gu Chen had left him far behind.
After being defeated by Gu Chen, Tang Xiao returned to the Da Guangming Sect in Yan State and, after a period of seclusion, successfully broke through to the Gang Qi Stage; he now possessed the cultivation of the mid-Gang Qi Stage.
This rate of progress was undoubtedly fast, and Tang Xiao was worthy of the name of genius.
But Gu Chen was even more terrifying; back then, Gu Chen's cultivation was not as good as his, but now, he had been left far, far behind.
This feeling, Yu Qiushi of the Canghai Sect had also experienced, and truly, it was not at all pleasant.
"It seems, Brother Gu is also very interested in the Sun Flame Stone?" Zhuo Siyuan instantly saw through Gu Chen's desire for the Sun Flame Stone.
"This item is mine," Gu Chen said indifferently.
The importance of the Sun Flame Stone for him went without saying; Gu Chen could not possibly cede the Sun Flame Stone to others, and hence, as the words fell, he strode forward.
"Arrogant!"
Qiu Zhen sneered coldly. Ning Tian of the Xuantian Sect also looked at Gu Chen and slightly frowned.
In this world, there were not many who dared to ignore them so.
Hum!
Gu Chen raised his palm, and a strong suction force emanated from his palm. The Sun Flame Stone nearby trembled slightly and rose into the air, about to fly toward Gu Chen.
"You're still unworthy of this item!"
Qiu Zhen's face darkened, and he lashed out with his palm. A crimson Gang Qi took the form of a large python, baring its fangs and claws as it rushed towards Gu Chen.
Fiery Fire Divine Skill!
The reason why Qiu Zhen so desperately desired the Sun Flame Stone was simply that the Qiu family's martial arts also centered around yang and firmness.
The Fiery Fire Divine Skill was a top-tier Super Product Inner Strength Mind Skill from within the Qiu family; if he obtained the Sun Flame Stone and absorbed the trace of the sun's true fire within it, Qiu Zhen's cultivation would surely advance further.
Perhaps, by using the sun's true fire to temper his body, he could successfully undergo a blood exchange and step into the Returning to True Stage, becoming a martial arts grandmaster known throughout the world!
The fiercely intense True Gang that formed the great python was incredibly intimidating. With Qiu Zhen's talent and the Fiery Fire Divine Skill, a martial arts heritage that had been passed down through generations, providing the experience of predecessors, Qiu Zhen had managed to master the Fiery Fire Divine Skill, cultivating a unique type of Gang Qi—the Fiery Fire True Gang.
Qiu Zhen's attack had not yet arrived, but the scorching heatwave had already invaded the space in front of Gu Chen. At that moment, Gu Chen's skin emitted a faint golden light, completely insulating him from the heat, not letting it harm him in the slightest.
Bang!
Qiu Zhen punched out, endless flames gathering together, transforming into a gigantic fist imprint in mid-air, striking at Gu Chen.
This punch was also Qiu Zhen's full-force blow. He believed that Gu Chen, being merely a martial artist at the Gang Qi Stage, would either die or be severely injured from this punch!
The great gap between the Returning to True Stage at its peak and the Gang Qi Stage was truly too vast, not to mention that he had cultivated a special type of Gangqi.
Thankfully, prior to this, by consuming Dragon Origin, Gu Chen had improved the quality of the Gangqi in his body; otherwise, his disadvantage in cultivation would have been extremely evident.
With Qiu Zhen blocking him, and Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian watching closely, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was indeed difficult for Gu Chen to seize the Sun Flame Stone.
And to defeat Qiu Zhen, he must fully exploit his advantage to the extreme!
At this moment, Gu Chen's feet treaded on Controlling Wind Step Shadows, his movements as if casting shadows, his aura locked onto Qiu Zhen. In an instant, his figure blurred, and in the next, he had already reached Qiu Zhen's side.
"You!"
Qiu Zhen was shocked to see Gu Chen suddenly appear before him. It was widely known that Gu Chen's physical strength was unmatched in Yan State. Even in close combat, Qiu Zhen, despite being at the peak of the Returning to True Stage, was no match for Gu Chen.
Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian, observing from the side and seeing Gu Chen's incredible speed, also had their gazes sharpen, watching the scene without blinking an eye.
Boom!
At this moment, Gu Chen was like a mighty furnace, his vigorous pale-golden blood energy bursting out through his pores. Majestic like a heavenly deity, accompanied by vigorous blood qi, he lifted his hand and punched directly at Qiu Zhen.
"Coalesce!"
In a critical moment, Qiu Zhen shouted loudly, and the fierce fire Gangqi in front of him converged into a wall of qi, its surface still glowing with fiery flames.
Boom!
Qiu Zhen's pupils reflexively contracted as Gu Chen's golden fist, unstoppable as a bamboo splitter, held firm only for a moment before completely blowing the wall of fiery qi apart, his fierce punch landing solidly on Qiu Zhen's body.
"Pugh!"
Qiu Zhen immediately spat out blood, his body sent flying backward.
"So it is indeed indestructible!" Zhuo Siyuan and Ning Tian's faces grew solemn.
After inflicting heavy damage on Qiu Zhen, Gu Chen once again executed Controlling Wind Step Shadows, his form flickering as he dashed towards the Sun Flame Stone, now shimmering with an extraordinary light.
"Stop him!"
Qiu Zhen, flustered and exasperated, shouted loudly. He couldn't fathom how Gu Chen had suddenly moved behind him.
Swish!
Ning Tian was the first to react. As the direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect listed fifth on the Leaderboard of Heroes and at the peak of the Returning to True Stage, he naturally possessed a unique type of Gangqi, much like Qiu Zhen.
"Celestial Mysterious Finger!"
Having witnessed Qiu Zhen's dismal state, Ning Tian, of course, would not engage Gu Chen in close-quarters combat. Floating in mid-air, he pointed a finger, and a thick finger Gangqi aimed at Gu Chen.
The unique Gangqi cultivated by Ning Tian was called the Purple Heaven True Gang. With his finger pointing out, a purple beam, solid as a pillar, smashed towards Gu Chen.
Just as Gu Chen was about to make a move, aiming to use the Controlling Wind Step Shadows to appear behind Ning Tian, he suddenly felt an intense pain in his head, his consciousness nearly being pulled from his body.
It was the Superior Martial Skills of the Da Guangming Sect, the Great Enchantment Skill!
Bang!
In that moment of distraction, Ning Tian's attack arrived, the heavy finger Gangqi striking Gu Chen without any frills, sending him flying backward upon impact.
