Chapter 330

Hum —

Mu Tianci's figure disappeared from where he stood. He seemed to blend into the forest, making it impossible to determine his exact location.

"It looks like you have expended quite a bit of energy in the battle from before."

Such a defensive strategy was clearly beyond his abilities. Gu Chen determined that his opponent was likely like the previous contestants. He was not in a good state.

A purple beam flashed in his eyes as he extended his perception outwards in search of his opponent's figure.

If he did not find his opponent, it would be a protracted battle. It would be disadvantageous to the subsequent battles.

However, it was unknown if it was because the Azure Wood Manor's techniques were powerful or if Mu Tianci's physique was extraordinary, but even Gu Chen's Purple Extreme Eyes could not find his opponent.

Mu Tianci had completely fused with the forest. Then, he used the rich power of wood to attack Gu Chen crazily!

Gu Chen dodged using the Traversing Stars Carrying Moon Steps as he pondered on how to deal with his enemy.

Mu Tianci was very strong, probably on par with a Demon King at his peak.

Therefore, his Connate Dominance was not very effective against such an enemy.

The reason why he could instantly stun the audience in the previous match was partly because his opponent's strength was several levels weaker than the Demon Kings, and also because he had been preparing for the match for many days. His aura had risen to its peak.

He needed to use another method to deal with Mu Tianci.

Mu Tianci used the power of the forest and began a frenzied attack. The entire arena seemed to be stirred by a green hurricane.

Many members of the audience looked at Gu Chen and could not help but break out into a cold sweat for him. How was he to win if he did not even know where his enemy was hiding?

Indeed, none of the people who could enter the finals were simple!

After dodging a few waves of vine attacks, Gu Chen had an idea.

"Fire counters Wood. Since I don't know where you are, I'll burn them all."

Gu Chen was expressionless as he raised his hand.

It was broad daylight with the blazing sun high in the sky.

Pfft! Pfft!

It was as though a Golden Crow had spread its wings from the distant sun. It traversed the endless void and landed in Gu Chen's hand, transforming into True Solar Fire!

Blazing Heaven Incinerating Palm!

Gu Chen struck down at the arena with his palm!

Boom!

The terrifying golden flames engulfed the entire green forest. Wherever the golden flames went, all the plants were burned to ashes!

"It's useless. My Mu Clan's secret art is Endless Growth. Even if the sea of trees is burned down, it will recover in the blink of an eye."

On the VIP seats, Mu Ziyu shook her head. The person on the stage was her cousin, and she knew his strength very well.

"That's not necessarily true. There's a type of flame that can grow without end."

Ji Lanchu shook her head and dampened his enthusiasm.

"You mean …"

Mu Ziyu looked at the scene again and saw that after the sea of trees was burned down, it was indeed as she had expected. It quickly sprouted roots and was full of vitality, but the flames were even more terrifying. As soon as new trees grew, the flames immediately pounced on them and destroyed them in the blink of an eye.

The flames seemed endless, and the speed of their destruction was faster than the speed at which the trees could regrow!

"True Sun Fire. Extremely high temperature. Endless. It won't stop until it burns the target!"

Mu Ziyu also recognized the origin of the flame and took a deep breath.

That brat Gu Chen really had a lot of secret arts on him!

That True Sun Fire was even more terrifying than the Dragon Phoenix True Fire of the Middle Earth Royal Family!

Once Gu Chen's True Sun Fire appeared, the area of the sea of trees shrank rapidly, and soon, Mu Tianci's true form was revealed.

His figure was in a sorry state, and he was fleeing left and right under the True Sun Fire. It was obvious that he did not have much room to retaliate.

The might of the True Sun Fire caused a large number of spectators to suck in a breath of cold air. Even Huangfu Qingming's gaze turned sinister.

"I admit defeat!"

In the end, Mu Tianci was forced into a corner by the sea of flames and could only unwillingly admit defeat.

If his body was at its peak, he would even dare to fight against the True Sun Fire. Unfortunately, there were no ifs!

Seeing that he had won the match, Gu Chen flicked his sleeve, and the surging True Sun Fire dissipated between heaven and earth.

Being able to control the power of the True Fire of Heaven and Earth with such ease caused countless cultivators to have a higher evaluation of him.

Gu Chen got off the stage and brushed past the Demon King who was about to compete.

"Don't force yourself."

After all, they were friends, so he kindly reminded.

He had personally witnessed the Demon King's battle that day. In such a short period of time, the Demon King's condition had definitely not recovered yet.

"Heh, don't worry. After I, Old Sun, deal with the Huangfu Clan's grandson, I'll come and fight with you!"

"I won't snatch your wife, you just have to accompany me to fight to my heart's content."

The Demon King's fighting spirit was still high, and his belligerent nature would never change no matter what.

"Alright, it's a deal."

Gu Chen laughed involuntarily and silently blessed the Demon King.

The Demon King went up the stage, and Huangfu Qingming also walked up the stage. He looked at the other party with a cold expression.

"Demon King Sun Jinming, I know you. When that Gu Chen broke through to the Monarch Realm, you were the one who protected him, right?"

Huangfu Qingming's eyes were abnormally cold, and the corner of his mouth rose into a cruel smile.

"I protected my brother, what does it have to do with you?"

The Demon King raised his eyebrows and drew out the spear he carried with him.

"Nothing, I just want to beat you into a dead monkey!"

A surging and terrifying aura erupted from Huangfu Qingming's body, and all the essence energy in the world seemed to have merged with him at this moment!

A moment later …

The Demon King fell heavily on the ground. His entire body was covered in blood, and even his vision was blurred.

On the other hand, Huangfu Qingming didn't seem to have many injuries, and he mocked coldly.

"A monkey will always be a monkey, too weak!"

"Shut up!"

The Demon King had obviously fallen down, but he still struggled to support his body to stand up, and his eyes were still burning with a fierce battle intent.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators couldn't bear to watch. In the battle earlier, the Demon King fell down five times, and he stood up all five times.

He was obviously in an extremely bad state before participating in this battle, but he still refused to admit defeat. Even if he fell down again and again, he still forced himself to stand up, as if nothing could bend his spine!

Gu Chen stood far away, and he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly as he watched the Demon King stubbornly stand up.

That Huangfu Qingming humiliated the Demon King in the battle, and his attacks were extremely ruthless.

If it wasn't for the Demon King's tyrannical physique, his life might be in danger.

He was very clear that the reason why the other party treated the Demon King like this was because of him!

But he couldn't make a move to help, because the Demon King was still fighting!

The Demon King was arrogant by nature, and he would never admit defeat, nor would he allow others to interfere in his battle.

Gu Chen wanted to make a move earlier, but he was stopped by him.

Under this sort of situation, even if the judge announced that he lost, it wouldn't do. Only when he couldn't stand up, then everything would be considered to have ended!

Seeing the Demon King forcefully stand up again, the corners of Huangfu Qingming's mouth revealed a sinister smile.

"Go to hell!"

He raised a hand, and a rainbow-colored light sword appeared out of thin air and shot towards the Demon King.

"Roar ~ ~ ~"

The Demon King roared furiously, and he tried to break through his limits and enlarge again. Unfortunately, his stamina was already insufficient, and not only did he fail, he directly fainted!

Seeing the Demon King faint, Huangfu Qingming's light sword didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and it shot out even faster instead.
