At this moment, Gu Sheng seemed to be doing a trivial task. He even had the leisure to slightly turn his head, looking at the dumbfounded Situ Qingfeng beside him, with a hint of teasing in his voice as he asked.
"Qingfeng, do you understand now what I meant by ’five-five split’ earlier?"
Situ Qingfeng snapped back to reality, looking at the fourteen long spears that couldn’t move an inch, then at the seemingly relaxed Gu Sheng, his expression becoming extremely complex, with shock, confusion, and ultimately, a faint bitter smile.
He understood that Gu Sheng’s ’five-five split’ probably wasn’t the evenly matched force that he previously comprehended...
The fourteen martial artists from the Prince Mansion were clearly unwilling. They exchanged glances, a fierce look flashing in their eyes, shouted out simultaneously, then pulled back their spears fiercely, gathering all their True Qi, and stabbed out once more in a more violent and focused manner!
This time, they held nothing back!
Buzz —!
Crack!
A soft yet incredibly clear sound of shattering rang out!
One of the martial artists’ spear tips, condensed from pure True Qi, developed a slight crack the moment it touched Gu Sheng’s skin! Yet, Gu Sheng’s skin remained intact!
Just as the spearhead shattered, Gu Sheng’s calm voice once again clearly reached everyone’s ears, carrying a kind of despairing nonchalance.
"Actually, when I said ’five-five split’..."
His figure started to blur and dissipate like a bubble at the moment his words sounded.
"...I meant, with fifty percent strength, in five breaths, make you..."
Nangong Yue Xia’s heart rang with warnings! An unprecedented sense of deadly crisis came from behind!
Without thinking, almost as an instinctive reaction, her True Qi burst forth from within, gripping the slender purple sword, she flipped her wrist like a serpent darting out, stabbing with all her might toward the source of danger sensed behind her! This stab was fast, accurate, and fierce, gathering her full strength of Sect Realm cultivation, with the sword tip’s purple glow seemingly able to pierce through the void!
However—
Ding!!!
A crisp sound, akin to jade chimes clashing, rang out!
Nangong Yue Xia only felt her slender sword strike an unmovable invisible barrier, an unimaginably tremendous counterforce traveled along the sword body, numbing her wrist and almost splitting her tiger’s mouth! Shocked, she turned to look in the direction she had stabbed.
Gu Sheng’s figure, somehow like a ghost, had appeared behind her, within less than three feet!
And the high-quality slender purple sword in her hand, the sword tip...was precisely pointing at Gu Sheng’s Danzhong acupoint on his chest.
But that sword tip, which could easily pierce through Sect Realm Protective Gang Qi, not only failed to puncture Gu Sheng’s body, but due to the terrifying counterforce and Gu Sheng’s unimaginably resilient flesh...caused the highly elastic slender sword to bend into an alarming arc!
The sword tip against Gu Sheng’s chest, the sword body bent, seemed to be lamenting.
Gu Sheng looked down at the sword tip against his chest, then raised his eyes to meet Nangong Yue Xia’s eyes filled with shock, fear, and a hint of panic, calmly finishing the latter half of his sentence.
"...break apart."
Nangong Yue Xia looked at her bent slender sword, felt the counterforce like striking an iron wall, then looked at Gu Sheng’s chest without any marks, her shock was beyond measure! Her full-force strike hadn’t even broken through the defense?!
This was far beyond ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm capabilities! It even surpassed most Sect Realm martial artists’ physical strength!
In her heart’s violent shock, as old forces depleted, and new ones hadn’t formed yet, Gu Sheng moved.
He didn’t perform any earth-shattering move, simply raising his right hand casually, with index and middle fingers together, forming sword finger gesture.
He didn’t even look at Nangong Yue Xia, his gaze calmly ahead, lightly uttering a word.
"Break."
Buzz—!
As his words fell, the originally thin layer of Protective Gang Qi around him suddenly seemed endowed with life and spirituality, abruptly condensing, compressing, transforming into an invisible yet supremely sharp sword aura!
This invisible sword aura instantly breached the boundaries of space upon its appearance!

She had no doubt that if Gu Sheng’s mind slightly moved, this invisible sword aura could instantly pierce through her throat!
