Chapter 687: Chapter 687: You’re Nothing Special!
"Kid, do you dare to state your name?" Gu Zhiyuan roared, his anger reaching its peak.
In all his years, Yang Qi was the first person to completely destroy the Tianhai Association. He was now a general without an army, a fact that infuriated him beyond measure. His body felt like a volcano on the verge of eruption, pulsing with a surging aura.
"My name? You are not worthy of knowing it. All you need to know is that today, you will die here. That is enough," Yang Qi said calmly.
Under normal circumstances, he was indeed no match for Gu Zhiyuan. But he still had his Green Emperor Body and Golden Eagle Wings. Furthermore, he was enhanced by a Spirit Talisman and a Bursting Qi Pill. He was quite confident he could take Gu Zhiyuan down.
"Good! Very good! It has been a long time since I’ve seen such an arrogant young man! Today, you destroyed my Tianhai Association and killed my Elders. I, Gu Zhiyuan, swear on my life that I will kill you. No matter where you run, to the ends of the earth, there will be no rest until one of us is dead."
His voice echoed in the pitch-black night sky. Those who were still alive heard it and understood the depths of Gu Zhiyuan’s rage.
Yet Yang Qi remained completely unfazed. "There’s no need to go to the ends of the earth, because you will die today!"
"Good! Very good!" Gu Zhiyuan sneered twice, and his figure suddenly vanished.
Yang Qi keenly detected the attack and shifted to the side.
BOOM!
The instant Yang Qi moved, a figure appeared where he had been standing. A terrifying Fist Power descended, ruthlessly smashing into that spot. The ruins were blasted into a deep crater. The power of this punch was truly terrifying.
"Die!" Gu Zhiyuan looked at Yang Qi coldly, his right hand transforming into an eagle’s claw as he swiped at Yang Qi’s head.
This time, Yang Qi did not dodge. The distance was too short, making it difficult to avoid. He raised his hand and threw a punch.
Fire Fist Skill!
BANG!
The eagle claw clashed with the Fire Fist. In the next moment, Yang Qi was sent flying, only steadying himself after being knocked back more than ten meters.
Without wasting words, the moment Yang Qi found his footing, Gu Zhiyuan appeared before him again, fiercely punching toward his chest.
"Earth Spike!"
Yang Qi’s pupils contracted abruptly. He slammed a fist into the ground, and a huge earth spike erupted from below.
BOOM!
Gu Zhiyuan’s fist struck the earth spike, which shattered after holding for less than three seconds. However, those three seconds were enough for Yang Qi to react.
A golden blade appeared in his hand. He then slashed out.
Golden Thunder Slash!
Facing an expert like Gu Zhiyuan, I won’t use the Green Emperor Body just yet. I want to test how long I can last at my current level. This is the key to gaining combat experience.
CRASH!
Gu Zhiyuan countered with a chop of his hand, unleashing a terrifying Sword Radiance that shattered the Golden Thunder Slash. However, his expression grew solemn. "Interesting. To be so powerful at just over twenty years old... No wonder Zhou Ran and the others fell at your hands. I truly underestimated you. But do you think you can beat me with just this little bit of skill? Who do you think I am? Die!"
Gu Zhiyuan was formidable. Having built the Tianhai Association from scratch over decades, he could hardly be weak. He roared and charged at Yang Qi again. He threw a punch that whipped up a roaring gale, which transformed into a massive beast that threatened to swallow Yang Qi whole.
"Gale Beast Fist!"
"Block it! Cold Ice Chains!"
Chains of ice wrapped around Yang Qi’s body, forming a solid defense around him. Unfortunately, their power was ultimately too weak. His Cultivation was still lacking. The defense of the Cold Ice Chains only held against the Gale Beast Fist for a moment before shattering into pieces.
Fortunately, Yang Qi still had the Stone Armor Technique. The Cold Ice Chains had already significantly weakened the Gale Beast Fist’s power. By the time the attack landed on his Stone Armor, it was no longer strong enough to harm him. He was pushed back dozens of meters before he stopped. Though he had no visible injuries, his chest still ached a little.
The two Guest Elders lying on the ground were unable to move. They watched the battle in utter astonishment. Yang Qi was clearly only at the Second Rank Overlord Realm, yet he had blocked Gu Zhiyuan’s killing blows one after another, even withstanding the Gale Beast Fist. It was simply unbelievable.
Is this kid even human? How can he be so strong? It looks like it’s going to be extremely difficult for Gu Zhiyuan to take him down today.
Of course, they never thought Gu Zhiyuan would lose. After all, as a Fifth Rank Overlord at the minor success stage, he was an exceptionally formidable figure in all of Sea City.
"Gu Zhiyuan, if this is all the skill you possess, I think it’s time to end this battle," Yang Qi said, looking at him indifferently. "So the president of the Tianhai Association is nothing more than this. A Fifth Rank Overlord isn’t as terrifying as I imagined."
"Insolent!" Gu Zhiyuan’s face turned ugly. He grew furious. Not only had he failed to defeat Yang Qi, but now he was being mocked. "No matter how strong you are, you must die today! You killed the Elders of my Tianhai Association. If I let you come and go as you please, how can the Tianhai Association possibly show its face in Sea City again?"
"Heh... come and go as I please? You still don’t get it. I’m not running. I came here today to kill you." Yang Qi sneered, still not intending to use his Green Emperor Body. I haven’t reached my limit yet. This is a precious opportunity to temper myself, and I need to make the most of this combat training.
"Hmph, kill me?" Gu Zhiyuan scoffed disdainfully. "Over the years, I, Gu Zhiyuan, have met many arrogant young people like you. But not a single one who offended our Tianhai Association has walked away unscathed. Today, you will surely die."
As he spoke, the True Qi in Gu Zhiyuan’s body condensed. A Treasure Saber appeared in his hand. As True Qi gathered on the blade, terrifying gales roared around it. One could feel that this next strike would be powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth.
"Oh? This move is indeed quite powerful. But I’d like to see if it can actually kill me." Staring at Gu Zhiyuan’s Treasure Saber, Yang Qi neither retreated nor planned to dodge. Surviving under extreme conditions leads to the greatest growth.
"Dangerous!"
Feeling the terrifying aura from Gu Zhiyuan’s attack, the two Guest Elders on the ground hurriedly began to crawl away. Even though they couldn’t walk, they could still wriggle across the ground. They feared that once such fearsome power was unleashed, even the aftershock would kill many people.
Facing Gu Zhiyuan’s attack, Yang Qi did not hesitate. The Metal Storm gathered once more, crackling with thunder.
A moment later, Gu Zhiyuan launched his attack.
With a single slash, the entire sky turned a deathly white. Many people who were still awake looked outside, where the sky had become as bright as day.
