How could Gu Sheng let him escape easily? With a loud shout, he threw a punch toward Du Zhixin’s back.
Having no other option, Du Zhixin had to stop in his tracks and turn around to fend off with his sword.
Gu Sheng’s fist landed heavily on Du Zhixin’s sword, the powerful force causing Du Zhixin’s grip to split and blood to flow down the hilt, making his arm tremble involuntarily.
The impact forced Du Zhixin several steps back, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Sheng pressed the attack, taking advantage of his momentum. He launched a series of strikes at Du Zhixin, wielding the Three Realms Thunder Fist. Though less powerful than the Heaven-breaking Fist, it was less exhausting and could be used repeatedly.
Gu Sheng’s fists crackled with lightning, each hit accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound.
Under this onslaught, Du Zhixin could only defend, lacking the ability to counterattack, beaten back repeatedly. Blood kept seeping from his chest, quickly staining his clothing red.
Gu Sheng stared intently at Du Zhixin, not missing a single flaw.
Seizing an opening, he shouted, "Prepare to die!" His fist, brimming with power, slammed into Du Zhixin’s stomach.
Du Zhixin was struck by Gu Sheng’s punch, sent crashing straight into a small hill. The impact generated a huge cloud of dust and rubble, accompanied by a rumbling sound as the hill collapsed, burying Du Zhixin beneath it.
"Is he dead?" Gu Yu asked Gu Sheng excitedly, her voice urgent.
Gu Sheng did not respond, merely snorting coldly. He raised the ancient Reincarnation Bell, his inner Spiritual Power surging, releasing a fearsome power that struck the pile of rubble.
Before the Reincarnation Bell could land, Du Zhixin dashed out from the debris, wounded, with torn clothes and disheveled hair, clearly hurt but not out of the fight.
Initially, he intended to sneak attack Gu Sheng from the rubble, underestimating Gu Sheng’s extraordinary perception.
"Hmph, with such paltry tricks, you dare try to ambush me?" Gu Sheng taunted.
Gritting his teeth, Du Zhixin retorted, "How dare you speak of ambush when you attacked my junior brother without warning?"
"Aren’t you the disciple of the Second Elder?" Gu Sheng stared coldly at Du Zhixin.
"No rush, your identities will be confirmed soon enough."
From the direction of the Elder Hall came a terrifying force. It shot skyward, creating ripples in the space it traversed, shaking the Nine Provinces Land.
Du Zhixin’s face turned pale as he realized their fight had alarmed the members of the Elder Hall.
Gu Sheng sneered, thinking that as long as he delayed until the elders arrived, Du Zhixin would have no escape.
Du Zhixin’s expression turned ruthless, knowing he had to act before the elders arrived, or he’d surely die.
He decided to eliminate Shou Xiangwen to prevent further trouble. In a swift motion, he charged at Shou Xiangwen, but his real killing move remained hidden within his wide sleeves.
With sharp intuition, Gu Sheng saw through Du Zhixin’s intent at a glance.
He summoned the ancient Reincarnation Bell, which enlarged and securely enveloped Shou Xiangwen within it.
Gu Sheng unleashed the Heaven-breaking Fist, his Spiritual Power surging wildly, hurling it toward Du Zhixin with terrifying momentum.
Frustrated, Du Zhixin saw his attack neutralized by Gu Sheng. Facing Gu Sheng’s fierce counter, he could only retreat momentarily.
Gu Sheng watched Du Zhixin with indifference, knowing the elders would soon arrive.
Cursing in anger, Du Zhixin realized the unfavorable situation, ceased his attack, and turned to flee.
Gu Sheng was momentarily surprised, showing a hint of unexpectedness, but chose not to chase.
Shortly after, the Great Elder arrived first. Clad in a dark robe, he appeared before Gu Sheng.
