Chapter 884: Revenge
"Quit bluffing!" Du Qingyang roared as he stomped his feet into the ground, and all of the profound acupoints on his legs lit up in unison, following which he abruptly vanished from the spot, as if by instantaneous teleportation.
In the next instant, Chen Yang felt a gust of fierce wind blow past his ear, and Du Qingyang's joined middle and index fingers came plunging directly toward his temple like a sharp dagger.
There was no time for Chen Yang to do anything aside from instinctively dodge to the side, but Du Qingyang certainly wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily, and he changed directions to continue pursuing Chen Yang, while a profound acupoint appeared on each segment of his two fingers, further enhancing their power.
Right as it seemed like Chen Yang's fate was sealed, a resounding boom suddenly rang out, and the stone door of the underground cave exploded violently, following which a yellow figure flew into the room before crashing into Du Qingyang from the side.
A dull thump rang out as Du Qingyang was sent flying back over a thousand feet, crashing into the mountain face on the other side of the hall before tumbling to the ground.
He struggled to his feet with some difficulty, and he was finally unable to suppress his own injuries any longer as blood came spewing out of his mouth and onto the ground.
He clasped a hand over his own wounded chest as he stumbled back a few steps, and he was only able to steady himself after leaning back against the stone wall behind him. However, his legs were still trembling uncontrollably, and it looked as if he were going to fall at any moment.
A perplexed look flashed through his eyes at the sight of the yellow figure that had just flown into the room, and he exclaimed, "Gu Qianxun? Why are you doing this?"
Indeed, the yellow figure was none other than Gu Qianxun, and there was a frosty look in her eyes as she glowered at Du Qingyang and said in a cold voice, "Why am I doing this? I've been waiting for this day for thirty thousand years!"
"Thirty thousand years? Who are you?" Du Qingyang asked in a cold voice.
"It looks like your memory isn't that great, so let me give you a reminder. Do you still remember that woman that you secretly abducted from Profound End City all those years ago?" Gu Qianxun asked.
A hint of realization appeared on Du Qingyang's face as he murmured, "Profound End City? Could it be..."
"All those years ago, you used this same Sinha Blood Array in this exact same place to suck out her true spirit bloodline. In the end, her body detonated, and she wasn't even able to die with an intact body!" Gu Qianxun said as her lips quivered with rage.
"Yan Hongyu... How are you related to her?" Du Qingyang asked.
"Shut your mouth! A deplorable scoundrel like you has no right to speak my mother's name!" Gu Qianxun yelled in a furious voice.
"I see, so she was your mother. No wonder you came to my Green Goat City over six thousand years ago and requested to join the arena, this is what you've been plotting all along, isn't it? Your patience is truly exemplary," Du Qingyang sneered.
"Even if I had to wait another thirty thousand years, it would still be worth it! Your subordinate has already turned on you, and it's finally time for you to receive the retribution that you deserve!" Gu Qianxun declared in a righteous manner.
Du Qingyang took a glance at Chen Yang, then turned his gaze back to Gu Qianxun as he asked, "You must've played a role in Hu Bi's death as well, right?"
Gu Qianxun offered no response, merely continuing to glower at Du Qingyang with a cold sneer on her face. Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
Chen Yang's expression darkened significantly upon seeing this. He had thought that Du Qingyang would be in terrible condition after suffering backlash from the Sinha Blood Array, but it appeared that he was still far from a spent force.
"Chen Yang, I've always treated you well, yet you've thrown my kindness back in my face. Now, it's your turn," Du Qingyang said as he turned to Chen Yang with a cold sneer.
A series of dark red lines began to appear around his eyes as he spoke, giving his already hideous face an even more sinister appearance.
As soon as his voice trailed off, he sprang forward with explosive force while reaching out a hand to grab at Chen Yang's chest.
Chen Yang dodged to the side to just barely evade the blow, but several deep marks were still left behind on the bone armor in front of his chest from Du Qingyang's fingers.
Before Chen Yang even had a chance to catch his breath, Du Qingyang's body suddenly began to elongate, following which a serpentine tail wrapped itself around his midsection before exerting tremendous compressive force.
Chen Yang clenched his fists tightly as he let loose a thunderous roar, and all of his profound acupoints lit up as a burst of formidable energy fluctuations erupted out of his body in an attempt to shake off Du Qingyang.
However, Du Qingyang's body only loosened slightly before constricting tightly around him once again.
At the same time, he opened his mouth to a seemingly impossible degree, unhinging his jaw liek a true serpent as he chomped down upon Chen Yang's head.
Chen Yang was struggling with all his might, but to no avail, and he could only raise an arm and lash out with all his might at Du Qingyang's head.
Right as Du Qingyang's mouth was about to close itself around Chen Yang, a burst of bright white light suddenly emerged beneath the pile of shattered rocks at the foot of the opposing mountain face, and Gu Qianxun flew out from within, sending loose rocks flying in all directions.
At the same time, she removed a white bone belt from her own waist, then lashed out at Du Qingyang with it.
Attached to the end of the bone belt was a piece of triangular bone that struck Du Qingyang on the face, raising a trail of dark red sparks.
However, the blow failed to inflict any injuries upon Du Qingyang. All it did was force his head slightly to the side, so he chomped down onto Chen Yang's shoulder instead of his head.
Gu Qianxun's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, but she continued to persist, charging at Du Qingyang while the bones that formed her belt rapidly compressed, transforming it into a bone longsword that was around four feet in length.
All of the profound acupoints on her body lit up, and the muscles on her arms bulged as she spun around several times in mid-air to build up tremendous momentum, then slashed her sword into Du Qingyang's head with all her might.
The sword struck the side of Du Qingyang's face, and blood immediately splattered through the air.
The sword had managed to slice through his skin and part of his skull, but it was unable to chop his head off. Instead, it was lodged into his cheekbone.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in Gu Qianxun's heart upon seeing this.
She had given that attack everything that she had, yet Du Qingyang was still standing.
