Chapter 865: The Shocking Sound of the Roaring Tide
Bai Gu glanced at Chen Chuan and furrowed her brows, saying, "Young man, did someone ask you to do this?"
Chen Chuan didn't reply to her words but stepped out of the pavilion. "I hope you won't let me down, senior," he said, and a faint light appeared on his body, quickly turning into a rising white-gold aura.
Bai Gu slowly turned around, and a jade-white glow appeared on her body. Their bio-fields began to squeeze and collide, with dense cracks appearing at the edges.
At this moment, a muffled thunderous boom echoed from a distance, a sound that shook the eardrums, indicating an extremely powerful explosion.
Bai Gu's expression changed slightly. She recognized the sound coming from the direction of the armory, and she could guess the reason for the explosion. But facing Chen Chuan, she couldn't afford to be distracted by other thoughts. Her voice was calm as she said, "Young man, what you're doing is not a good 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 remained 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 a dazzling white light flashed around them. At the same time, her sword had already reached Chen Chuan's front!
At that moment, three figures almost identical to hers appeared on Chen Chuan's left, right, and behind, and they all thrust their swords forward! But as the four sword tips moved forward, they all missed, and Chen Chuan's figure disappeared from that spot, leaving only the sound of his bio-field shattering.
Bai Gu's eyes flashed with light, and she immediately turned around and swung her sword. The spiritual light on the blade suddenly formed a twenty-meter-long light stream, sweeping out with a whoosh. It glided across the lake's surface, and in that instant, the top layer of the lake seemed to be steamed away, releasing a cloud of mist.
However, this sword still didn't touch anything. And before she could retract her sword, a fist glowing with aura had already punched forward! One of the three figures that had split from Bai Gu rushed forward to block, and with a bang, it shattered under the fist's edge. But the second figure quickly took its place, only to be easily crushed as well. The third figure tried to block, but it was also punched away, and Bai Gu had already gained the time to retract her sword.
A cold light flashed, and the sword slashed towards Chen Chuan's body. The sword move was swift, fierce, and sharp, and at such a close distance, it was hard to dodge.
Chen Chuan watched as the blade quickly approached, its surface shimmering with threads of jade-white light that illuminated his face, making his eyes appear snow-white, but it only accentuated his deep, pool-like gaze.
At this moment, he had no intention of dodging and directly blocked the incoming sword with his hand. In an instant, a large amount of spiritual flame splashed out from the point of contact and rapidly dissolved.
Blocking a blade with bare hands wasn't a good idea. Transformed weapons could attract and gather more spiritual flames and, due to their special nature, often had a higher concentration of power on the edge than the wielder's body. So, the spiritual flame in his hand was dissolving at an even faster rate.
Then, he held the sword with one hand and clenched the other into a fist, punching forward!
Bai Gu was startled. She had lived for over a hundred years, but she had never encountered such an attack—one that was rampant from the start, fearless, and relentless, with no regard for defense.
At this moment, the two were extremely close, with no room to dodge. She raised her hand to block, and with a boom, spiritual sparks flew between them, rapidly dissolving.
Bai Gu's block was somewhat hasty, as most of her spiritual power was focused on the sword. But with her experience, she saw that her spiritual power was dissipating, and before it completely dissolved, she used her sword to borrow strength and retreat, her arm separating from his fist and slightly hindering his advance.
However, unexpectedly, Chen Chuan's fist didn't stop there but continued to follow through. The spiritual light on his fist surged, and with a boom, it reached her body, not only instantly breaking through the last layer of her spiritual defense but also allowing a strand of aura to infiltrate her body.
Second-stage power!
Bai Gu's body trembled under the spiritual impact, and in front of her, the figure surged forward again! She hurriedly tried to set up a defensive stance, but her movements were still a bit slow. The spiritual energy that had penetrated her body wasn't much, and it couldn't cause her significant harm, but her body's Divergence Organization was unavoidably affected, and this influence would be magnified into a nearly fatal flaw in the intense and fast-paced battle.
Chen Chuan's fist, glowing with white-gold aura, smashed forward. This time, it wasn't a friendly spar, and although he didn't exert his full strength, he also didn't hold back his power and speed. Spiritual flames surged around him, and a white-gold flame flickered around his body.
As a powerful fighter, his performance far exceeded the norm, appearing to his opponents as a state of abnormal ferocity.
At this moment, Bai Gu had nowhere to hide. She knew she might not be able to withstand this punch, but as a martial artist who cultivated the Divine Form, she wasn't limited to just blocking head-on. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in her eyes, piercing Chen Chuan's mind like a sharp cone, attempting to shake his mind and weaken his attack. However, this move had no effect, as if it had been swallowed by the bottomless depths of the sea.
Realizing this, she managed to lift her arm, which was already in front of her, to block the incoming attack.
The next moment, with a loud boom, the fist from across the lake instantly extinguished the spiritual flame on her arm and then directly smashed it into a bloody pulp. The punch's momentum didn't lessen as it struck her cheek!
Despite the severe injury, Bai Gu, as a martial artist, maintained absolute calm. The broken arm bought her some time, allowing her to shift slightly, avoiding a direct hit to her face. Having anticipated the punch's trajectory, she gathered all the spiritual flame she could muster in that instant, but even so, her face, twisted by the blow, was still pushed back by Chen Chuan's fist.
Her entire body was driven by the fierce punch, but her eyes shone with dazzling white light, and her mental power surged. The sword in her hand responded, bursting with radiance, and without the need for her arm, it leaped towards Chen Chuan to strike.
This strike slightly delayed Chen Chuan's movement, and Bai Gu seized the opportunity to rapidly retreat, creating distance between them. Her figure glided across the lake's surface, and she quickly backed away to the opposite shore, leaving a deep gash in the water, as if splitting the massive lake in two, causing the water to surge towards both sides.
Chen Chuan stopped in his tracks, grabbed the sword that was about to return, and with a swipe of his hand along the sword's spine, instantly extinguished the remaining spiritual power on it. The sword's trembling ceased, and he turned it, throwing it into the ground. Then, he looked up.
On the other side of the lake, Bai Gu's left arm was completely gone from below the elbow, with strands of white-gold light emanating from it. Her half-face was also completely charred, revealing the white bones beneath and the tenacious aura of light clinging to them.
The two had only exchanged a few moves, but the displaced air rolled outwards, causing the trees near the lake to lean to one side. Only then did a series of booming sounds echo through the air.
This area was the military family zone, so most people heard the noise, and the windows shook violently, some even shattering.
Everyone was stunned, wondering why there was thunder at this time?
But some veterans, with their heightened sensitivity, felt that something was amiss, especially the initial sound, which resembled a large-scale ammunition explosion, though they didn't know the situation, instinctively grabbed their weapons, urging their families to hide in the basement of the mansion, while trying to contact the outside world via telephone and telegram to understand what had happened.
Some brave individuals rushed to the roof or outside, using telescopes to observe the situation. Soon, they saw two figures confronting each other by the lake.
