Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 173: Chapter 156: Dominantly Slaying _1

Seeing the fierce punch closing in, Hu Wanyuan's pupils shrank, and as the Gangqi surged within him, it clung to the surface of his body.

If one were a Gang Qi Stage expert who could release Gangqi externally, it would be possible to form a Gangqi shield around oneself. However, internal Gang Qi warriors couldn't achieve that, as the Gangqi inside their body wasn't thick enough to leave their bodies by a large distance, only able to release a thin layer to protect the surface.

Bang!

The next moment, the punch from Gu Chen struck Hu Wanyuan. Even with Gangqi protecting his body, Hu Wanyuan's face turned pale, a sweetness rose in his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood surged up, which he forcibly swallowed down.

Despite this, Hu Wanyuan still felt intense pain all over his body, as if he were about to fall apart.

As the Gangqi inside him continued to circulate, this sensation gradually subsided.

Clutching his fist hidden within his sleeve robe, Hu Wanyuan's eyes couldn't hide his shock. He hadn't expected Gu Chen to have such battle strength that enabled him to contend with him, an inner Gang Qi master.

Looking at Gu Chen, in that moment after exchanging a few moves, the anger in Hu Wanyuan's heart had lessened as he realized how troublesome Gu Chen was.

Moreover, Hu Wanyuan had a premonition that if the fight continued, he might end up the one defeated.

Hu Wanyuan took a deep breath, looked at Gu Chen, and said coldly, "You must have consumed some treasure from the Jing Tian Department to have cultivated such a thick internal power at the Vajra Stage!"

With these words, the martial artists around understood at once. When Gu Chen threw that punch, everyone in the arena felt a thrill of fear, including warriors at the Gang Qi Stage, and no one could easily take that punch from Gu Chen without being hurt.

Gu Chen could clearly see that Hu Wanyuan forcefully taking his punch had resulted in some internal injuries.

But while Hu Wanyuan wished to leave, Gu Chen disagreed. With an expressionless face and an indifferent tone, he said, "You fight when you wish and leave when you please. Who do you think I, Gu Chen, am? I don't need to show respect to the Jing Tian Department!"

Hu Wanyuan, upon hearing this, flew into a rage and exclaimed, "Impudent boy, truly reckless!"

Shaking with anger, he continued, "I intended to spare your life, but you are too foolish to appreciate it. So be it..."

"Enough talk!"

Gu Chen, tired of Hu Wanyuan's incessant babbling and unwilling to listen any longer, didn't wait for Hu Wanyuan to finish speaking and attacked straight away.

He pressed his ten fingers into the void, and one after another, beams of sword qi appeared in midair, piercing towards Hu Wanyuan.

Upon seeing this, Hu Wanyuan's expression changed. He then shouted, "Gu Chen, even if your cultivation is extraordinary, I am still a Gang Qi Stage warrior. How many times can you launch an attack like the one before?!"

"You are welcome to try!"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, countless dense and sharp sword qi had already arrived close to Hu Wanyuan.

"Since you refuse to see reason, then I'll show you the true power of a Gang Qi Stage warrior!"

Hu Wanyuan yelled as Gangqi flowed through his meridians. Reaching to his waist, he drew a treasured blade, a thin layer of blade Gangqi accumulating on the blade. Facing the sword qi, he struck down powerfully.

Swish!

A flash of bright blade light suddenly appeared, and many warriors grunted, blood spurting from the corners of their eyes as they clutched their faces and screamed in pain.
