Chapter 865: Stirring Up a Storm
Bai Gu glanced at Chen Chuan and furrowed her brows, "Young man, did someone ask you to do this?"
Chen Chuan didn't respond to her words. Instead, he stepped out of the pavilion, saying, "I hope you won't let me down, Senior." As he spoke, a faint glow emerged from his body and quickly transformed into a rising white-gold aura.
Bai Gu slowly turned around, and a jade-white light appeared on her body. The biomagnetic fields of the two began to compress and collide, with dense cracks appearing at the edges.
At this moment, a muffled thunderous roar came from a distance, a sound that still shook the eardrums, indicating an extremely powerful explosion.
Bai Gu's expression changed slightly. She recognized the sound as coming from the direction of the armory. If there wasn't an external enemy attack, then it was someone from within who had set off the explosion, and she could guess the reason for it.
However, facing Chen Chuan who stood before her, she couldn't afford to be distracted by other thoughts. She spoke in a slow, deliberate tone, "Young man, you've made a bad choice."
Chen Chuan said, "Senior, if you don't want to make a move, that's fine too. We can continue waiting here."
Bai Gu fell silent. She raised the sword in her hand, gripped the hilt, and slowly drew it out. The mirror-like blade slid out of the scabbard with a clanging sound, and as the surroundings suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light, the sword slashed towards Chen Chuan's front! At the same time, three figures almost identical to her appeared on Chen Chuan's left, right, and behind, and they simultaneously thrust their swords forward!
But as the four sword tips moved forward, they all struck at nothing, as Chen Chuan's figure had suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the shattered biomagnetic field.
At this moment, Bai Gu's eyes flashed with light, and she immediately turned and swung her sword. The spiritual light on the blade suddenly formed a stream of light over twenty meters long, sweeping out. With a whoosh, the light flashed across the surface of the lake, and in that instant, the top layer of water seemed to have been steamed away, dispersing into a cloud of mist.
However, this sword strike still didn't hit anything. As she was about to retract her sword, a fist shimmering with aura light suddenly slammed forward!
One of the three figures that resembled her rushed forward to block the attack, and with a bang, it shattered under the force of the fist. But the second one quickly took its place, only to be effortlessly crushed as well. The third one followed suit, and although it was also scattered by a punch, Bai Gu had already managed to retract her sword.
A cold light flashed, and she slashed towards Chen Chuan's body. The sword technique was swift, fierce, and sharp, making it difficult to dodge at such close range.
Chen Chuan watched as the sword swiftly approached, its shimmering jade-white light like fine strands of silk, reflecting a snowy white glow on his face, which only served to accentuate his deep, pool-like eyes.
At this moment, he showed no intention of dodging and directly reached out to press against the incoming sword. In an instant, a large amount of spiritual flame erupted from the point of contact and rapidly dissipated.
Blocking a weapon with bare hands wasn't a good idea. Transformed weapons could attract and gather more spiritual flames, and due to the weapon's unique properties, the concentration of spiritual energy on the blade was often higher than that of the wielder. As a result, the spiritual flame in his hand was dissipating at an even faster rate.
Then, he held the sword with one hand and followed up with a punch from his other hand!
Bai Gu was startled. She had lived for over a hundred years, but she had never encountered such a violent, unrestrained, and reckless attacking style that was all offense and no defense.
At this moment, the two were in extremely close proximity, leaving no room for evasion. She could only raise her hand to block, and with a loud boom, spiritual sparks flew in front of their eyes and quickly dissipated.
Bai Gu's block was somewhat hasty because most of her spiritual energy was concentrated on the sword. However, with her extensive experience, she noticed that her spiritual flame was rapidly dissipating, and before it had completely vanished, she used the sword to push back, leveraging the force to retreat, and her arm separated from Chen Chuan's fist, slightly hindering his advance.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan's fist didn't stop there. Instead, it continued to press forward, and the spiritual light on his fist suddenly intensified with a boom, reaching her and not only instantly breaking through the last layer of spiritual defense but also allowing the last strand of aura light to infiltrate her body.
Two-stage force!
Bai Gu's body trembled as the spiritual impact momentarily paralyzed her. The wind pressure in front of her intensified, and she could see the figure on the other side pressing forward once again!
She hurriedly tried to assume a defensive posture, but her movements were still a bit slow. In fact, the spiritual flame that had seeped into her body wasn't much, and it couldn't cause her much harm. However, the transformed tissue in her body was unavoidably affected to some extent, and this small influence would be magnified into a near-fatal flaw in the intense and fast-paced combat.
Chen Chuan's fist, enveloped in white-gold aura light, slammed forward. This time, he wasn't sparring; although he didn't exert his full strength, he also didn't hold back his power and speed. His spiritual flame surged and raged, and wherever he passed, a white-gold aura flame flickered around him.
Chen Chuan's display of combat prowess far exceeded that of a typical fighter, appearing unnaturally ferocious to his opponent.
Bai Gu, unable to evade, knew she couldn't withstand this punch. As a fighter with a divine appearance, she had more than just frontal defense at her disposal. A flash of light flickered in her eyes, piercing Chen Chuan's mind like a sharp cone, attempting to shake his consciousness and weaken his attack. But this effort was futile, as if it had been swallowed by an unfathomable abyss.
Realizing this, she barely had time to raise her arm, already positioned in front of her, to block the incoming blow.
In the next moment, with a thunderous boom, the fist from across the lake instantly extinguished the spiritual flame on her arm, turning it into a mangled mess of blood and flesh. The punch continued unabated, slamming into her cheek!
Despite the heavy blow, Bai Gu, as a fighter, maintained absolute composure. The broken arm bought her a momentary respite, allowing her to shift slightly, avoiding a direct hit to the face. Having anticipated the punch's trajectory, she concentrated all her spiritual flame in that area, but even so, her twisted face was still pushed back by Chen Chuan's fist.
Her entire body was propelled by the ferocious punch, yet her eyes shone with dazzling white light, and her mental power surged. The sword in her hand responded, erupting with a radiant glow, leaping forward without the need for her arm to move, slicing towards Chen Chuan.
This strike momentarily stalled Chen Chuan's advance, and she seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, creating distance between them. Her figure glided across the lake's surface, reaching the opposite shore, carving a deep trench in the water that split the lake in two, with waves crashing towards both shores.
Chen Chuan halted, reaching out to grab the returning sword, and with a swift swipe along the blade, extinguished the remaining spiritual energy. The sword's tremors ceased, and he spun it, throwing it into the ground. Then, he looked up.
On the opposite shore of the small lake, Bai Gu's left arm had completely vanished from the elbow down, with wisps of white-golden aura glowing from the stump. Her entire cheek was charred, revealing the white bones beneath, surrounded by resilient strands of aura.
In just a few moves, the displaced air rolled outwards, toppling the trees near the lake towards one side. The air now reverberated with booming sounds.
This area was the military residential zone, and most people heard the noise, feeling the intense vibrations in their windows, some even shattering under the impact.
Confused, they wondered why there was thunder at this time.
Veterans, more sensitive to such sounds, sensed something amiss, especially with the initial noise resembling a massive ammunition explosion. Instinctively, they grabbed their weapons, urging their families to take shelter in the basement, while attempting to contact the outside world via telephone or telegram to understand the situation.
Some brave individuals rushed to the roof or outdoors, using telescopes to observe the scene. They soon spotted the two figures confronting each other by the lake.
Upon hearing the noise, Han Kang immediately instructed his son, Han Cheng, to lead his family and Yu Wan's family to the basement. Han Kang and Nian Qian, both active-duty soldiers, went outside to assess the situation. They quickly witnessed the intense confrontation at the lake.
Chen Chuan and Bai Gu stood at opposite ends of the lake, their auras billowing, enveloped in dazzling light, appearing almost otherworldly.
"Is that... White Advisor?" Han Kang asked, though he had never met Bai Gu. Her image had been used by the municipal authorities for promotional purposes and was revered by many.
Bai Gu's current state was pitiful, and it was only her attire and the aura that confirmed her identity, masking her disheveled appearance.
"That's... Little Chuan," he said, turning to Chen Chuan, feeling a profound shock.
"Yes, it's my cousin..." Nian Qian's breath quickened as he gazed at the devastated surroundings of the small lake, truly understanding the meaning of the word 'fighter' for the first time, something that words and videos could never fully convey.
"What are they doing?"
Han Kang glanced towards the armory, where a thick plume of smoke rose into the sky. "It seems something significant has happened," he said gravely.
Meanwhile, Chen Chuan, unperturbed by the commotion, stared at the opposite shore and spoke slowly, "Senior, you're too weak. To be honest, you've disappointed me."
