Gu Hai realized that all of this was no illusion. It was a single attack. A single attack that was coming for him.
The spear revealed itself and rushed toward Gu Hai. He quickly put up his saber to defend, but the spear no longer behaved like one.
It was like water, flowing, and evading the saber, bending around it, and trying to pierce Gu Hai.
Splurt!
Gu Hai coughed out blood as the spear stopped right in front of him. It stopped at his chest, and couldn't pierce any further.
He ripped apart the robes that he was wearing to reveal that there was an armor underneath. But even that armor had a few cracks around the place where the Ethereal Spear hit him.
And even though the armor did protect him, it gave him significant injuries internally. Directly taking an attack to the chest was no joke, and he could feel his internal organs shake.
"You bastard." Gu Hai coughed out. He used his saber to support himself while the spear returned to Liu Feng's hand.
"Bastard? Don't be hypocritical. Who was the one who sent a Xiantian realm expert to try and assassinate me while I was a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator? Who was the one who planned to kill a young generation boy because their own heir was disgraced? You are the true bastards here." Liu Feng spat out.
The ethereal spear back in his hands, he readied himself for his next attack.
"I will not let you." Gu Hai said with a low tone as his aura increased.
He was going all out now. He could not afford to waste any of his power. He had to win this battle once and for all.
Aaaargh!
Suddenly, his concentration was disturbed, because he knew what that sound was, and who it came from. His eyes darted to the side, to see that a white tiger was standing proudly over a defeated enemy.
"So you were the first one to fall, Hong Jun. That is really too bad." he sighed.
"You should never be distracted when facing against an opponent that you might not win against." Liu Feng's cold voice came upon him.
He quickly raised his saber and his instincts told him that the attack was coming from the side. So he blocked the attack. And yet his saber felt nothing.
"Did you really think that it would be a simple attack like that?" a sneer came from the other side.
Gu Hai turned around and faced the direction of the voice.
Clang!
The spear hit the armor once more, and the armor cracked further still.
"You are entering your final deathbed, old man. Do you have any last words?" Liu Feng laughed as he appeared a few meters away, his spear finally having the first spray of blood on it.
"I will never lose to the likes of you." Gu Hai said, but he coughed out more blood. If he went full tilt from the very beginning, then maybe the match would have turned out a bit different.
But with the likes of Feng Wang and Cai Guo still present, why would he waste his Qi on a junior? That was the biggest mistake that he made, ever.
"Etheral Spear Arts! Final form! Pierce through the heavens!"
The ethereal spear shone brightly. But this was different. This felt different. Unlike every other spear attack that he had ever used, this one was fundamental. This wasn't flashy, with a large monster appearing. It was just the spear and the Qi that controlled it.
Liu Feng threw the spear towards Gu Hai with all of his might, and most of his Qi, and immediately fell back a few meters because of the recoil.
The spear blasted forward in a straight line toward Gu Hai. It looked easy enough to block. One just had to raise his saber and parry the attack.
That was exactly what Gu Hai did. He raised his saber.
"Infinite Reflections!"
The saber started twirling around, and afterimages formed. It was like the saber was its own shield, trying to defend against this attack.
The spear flew towards the saber, and they clashed.
Clang!
The moment that the two weapons clashed, an intense vibration traveled the land. The Hong family's buildings started to crumble a little, while the buildings next to them in the streets were not safe in the slightest.
And all of this was just the aftermath.
Dust had raised up, obstructing everyone's view. Although there were fights happening everywhere, everyone paid attention to this fight. With Hong Qiu and Cai Guo not fighting, this was the next biggest fight, because of Gu Hai.
The dust settled, and the outcome was shown.
The spear was simple, and the attack was simple. It's goal was to pierce, and pierce it did. Gu Hai was holding a broken saber in his hands, and his armor was broken. The spear had pierced through the armor, and went straight in.
His face was filled with shock, and just as he was about to react, Liu Feng appeared in front of him.
"There is no chance that I will let you recover from this." he said as he touched the spear.
Frost immediately started spreading from the spear, and it slowly spread throughout Gu Hai's body. Then, a single crack appeared on the frozen body, and the entire body disintegrated into multiple pieces.
He picked up one piece of a finger and pocketed it, rubbing his hands. It was none other than Gu Hai's spatial ring, which was bound to have many treasures.
"That was oddly easy. Why the hell was he so weak? Then again, isn't the Gu family a family of alchemists? This guy must have gotten this far based only on precious pills." he thought to himself.
"Well then. Two down. Six to go." he smiled.
