1284 Early-Stage Exceptional State 11

When the smoke cleared, a deep chasm had appeared where Gu Ruoyun once was. As for the green-robed woman, she seems to have disappeared without a trace.

Cold sweat began to form on the purple-robed man's forehead as his eyes filled with anxiety.

"How can this be?"

He mumbled to himself ceaselessly. Unless my hit was so powerful that there's nothing left of her? Was she really that weak? This is bad! If she really ends up dead by my hand, Master will never let me get away with it!

The more the purple-robed man thought about this, the more terrified he felt. After all, he had only used half of his full power. Based on Gu Ruoyun's level of power, she should not have been completely pulverized without even a trace of her bones remaining.

"Three strikes. You have one more left."

Suddenly, a clear and cold voice chimed in from behind him. His back stiffened as he turned around in disbelief and stared at the woman's delicate and pretty features with an astonished look in his eyes. His face then turned completely pale.

"Where did you go?"

This is impossible!

She can't possibly be that fast to have disappeared before I even noticed her move.

"I'm not obliged to answer your question." Gu Ruoyun looked at the purple-robed man before she paused and said, "Besides, you still have one strike left. Have you thought about how you'd like to deal with me? Once this strike is over, it'll be my turn."

The purple-robed man still has intentions of being merciful to Gu Ruoyun but when he heard what she said, he was instantly enraged. He then joined his palms together once again and cried out, "Shadowless Hand!"

This time, he did not give any leeway and used all of his power.

Thump!

A transparent hand descended from the sky once again, smashing towards Gu Ruoyun on the ground.

This time, everyone could not help but look at each other. They then stared at the smoke and dust-filled ground without blinking at all.

"Is she or is she not there!"

When the smoke cleared, the purple-robed man was shocked at the sight of the empty ground. He then sensed an aura coming from behind him. His body stiffened and he turned around with an ugly look on his face, staring at the green-robed woman.

"How can this be? How did you manage to evade my attacks?"

"Do you want to know how?" Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly. "Unfortunately, I don't want to tell you! Since you've used up all three strikes, it's my turn to attack!"

The purple-robed man's face was ashen as he glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun.

Based on his point of view, even if this woman's speed was a little bit faster, she could forget about hurting him!

After all, based on their ranks, he was already at the mid-stage of the exceptional state while she was a cultivator who had just broken through to the exceptional state. She could not possibly hurt him.

"Hmph!"

He scoffed and replied icily, "I may not know what kind of blasphemy you've used to evade my attacks but if you want to defeat me, you should stop indulging in fantasies. I'm not that weak!"

Gu Ruoyun raised her brow and did not reply to his statement. Instead, she reached her hand out.

A tiny cluster of black flames appeared on the palm of her hand, burning with great effort.

"Haha, you can't be thinking of defeating me with this thing? Are you sure that it can manifest its power? I can extinguish this flame with a single breath!"

His voice was full of disdain as he spoke with contempt.
