Chapter 124 124

Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

The black energy ball hit Tenku and engulfed him. Gu Qingyang smiled broadly as he thought his opponent must have died from that attack. If Tenku didn't die, then his body must have melted from the poison from the black energy, and he was so severely injured that he couldn't move. Gu Qingyang was sure that Tenku would not be able to come out in good condition after being hit by his attack.

Gu Qingyang expected the second result. Because that way, he could vent his hatred by torturing Tenku until he was satisfied. He wasn't going to let his opponent admit defeat so easily. But then Gu Qingyang saw something coming out of the cloud of smoke and dust when he was thinking about that.

The person who came out of the center of the explosion was Tenku, and he was fine even though Gu Qingyang's attack corroded his clothes. He suffered slight injuries to his body from the explosion. Luckily, he wasn't hit by that poisonous black energy.

"I almost died because of your attack. If I had delayed covering myself with Qi for even a moment and blocked the poisonous black energy with successive Qi bullets, my body might have melted right there." Tenku said calmly. He was acting like a dangerous situation that almost killed him before was nothing to him.

Tenku tore off his shirt and revealed his athletic body with well-proportioned muscles. There's no point in Tenku wearing such broken clothes because it will only interfere with his movements. In this way, the two participants were both bare-chested in the arena.

"I didn't expect you to survive after being hit by that poisonous black energy. But I'll make sure you die in the next attack!" Gu Qingyang said, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Tenku. He condensed Qi in his hands and thrust his fist toward his opponent's face.

After he used demon transformation and ate the Qi explosion pill, his strength, and speed increased drastically. Tenku could barely follow his movements with his eyes when Gu Qingyang suddenly appeared in front of him after he swallowed the Qi explosion pill. But it was different because Tenku would use his cultivation base in the Sky Origin realm to narrow their power gap.

Boooooooooommmmmmmm!

A large amount of Qi exploded from Tenku's body and swirled around him, forming a small tornado.

"You!" Gu Qingyang was shocked when he saw the scene. But instead of stopping, he added more power to his fist and intended to kill Tenku with his attack immediately.

But after Tenku used his cultivation base at the initial stage of the Sky Origin realm, he had enough Qi to fight against Gu Qingyang as his strength and speed skyrocketed. Gu Qingyang could only hit his afterimage because Tenku had already moved to his right and swung his sword.

"You won't be able to harm me even if your cultivation base increases!" Gu Qingyang quickly regained his composure and punched the sword coming at him.

Clank!

Tenku was knocked back, and his hands trembled from the impact of his opponent's punch.

"As expected of the Gu family's first genius. My current strength is still not enough to suppress him. I cannot leapfrog against him when our strengths differ by three small realms. In that case, I have no choice but to increase it more." Tenku muttered, and his cultivation base increased again and stopped in the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm.

"What!? How can you have such a high cultivation base at your age!? Impossible! It is impossible! This must be an illusion you created to trick me!" Gu Qingyang roared and shot toward Tenku. Black Qi exploded from his body and melted the arena along its path.

"Illusion? You should try it yourself to see if my power is real or fake." Tenku smiled slightly and threw his sword into the sky. Then he moved towards Gu Qingyang and threw a punch with compressed Qi.

Domination Fist!

Gu Qingyang and Tenku met in the center of the arena, and their fists collided.

Boooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

Their clash created a huge explosion and left the arena in ruins. Tenku once showed that move during his match against Kong Ming. When Tenku used the technique, he didn't worry about coming into contact with the poisonous black Qi in Gu Qingyang's body.

Tenku and Gu Qingyang were both knocked back by the impact. But they quickly stabilized their bodies and charged again with consecutive attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They exchanged dozens of moves in the blink of an eye and created shockwaves every time they clashed. Tenku threw a punch, and Gu Qingyang managed to block it. Then Gu Qingyang released black poison energy, but Tenku efficiently handled it and counterattacked.

"I think this power is enough to defeat him." Tenku muttered. After clashing with Gu Qingyang several times, he was confident that his cultivation base at the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm was enough to defeat his opponent. In other words, he could leapfrog two minor realms with his current strength.

Tenku and Gu Qingyang pressed against each other, but neither managed to land a direct hit on their opponent.

Boooooooommmmmmmmm!

They clashed their fists, and both pushed each other. Gu Qingyang did not think his opponent could compete with him even though his cultivation base was two small realms below his. But then he raised his eyebrows after remembering something.

"Are you the one who killed the disciples of the Gu family? Have you tricked us into thinking that someone is secretly protecting you?" Gu Qingyang narrowed his eyes and asked Tenku.

"You just noticed now? It was too late." Tenku smiled and admitted it without hesitation. He added more strength to his fist and knocked Gu Qingyang away.

"You!" Gu Qingyang was shocked when he heard that answer. But he didn't have time to continue his sentence because he felt the danger from his opponent. He felt that Tenku's attacks were still not over.

After Tenku knocked Gu Qingyang away, he suddenly raised his hand. He caught the sword he had previously thrown into the sky and slashed it toward Gu Qingyang.

Tactical Rapid Slash!

Tenku bombarded Gu Qingyang with tens of swords Qi while in the air. After Tenku used his cultivation base at the Sky Origin realm, he could release more blade aura, and its destructive power also increased drastically. So that attack could injure Gu Qingyang even if the black poisonous Qi protected his body.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"Argh!" Gu Qingyang gritted his teeth to endure the pain of the slashes from dozens of sword Qis. He couldn't avoid or block it in his current situation. Even so, Gu Qingyang didn't panic because Tenku's attack only left a shallow wound on his body.

"Don't think you can beat me with that attack!" Gu Qingyang landed in the arena and quickly charged toward Tenku.

"Is that so?" Tenku responded indifferently.

After that, Gu Qingyang and Tenku clashed again and moved at high speed from one side of the arena to the other instantly. Both seem to disappear and then reappear in another location. Only a few people in the place could see their fierce battle.

"You have caused trouble for my grandfather and caused him to be humiliated. Because of that, you should receive a severe punishment!" Gu Qingyang said as his fist and Tenku's sword collided.

Booooooooooommmmmm!

"Stupid. Why are you blaming me for the consequences of your actions? If you send assassins to me, then I won't hesitate to eliminate them no matter how many cultivators you send." Tenku replied casually.

"Arrogant! You are the first person who dares to challenge the Gu family openly. But because you have confessed what you did, you must pay for the sins you have committed. I'm sure the referees won't mind if I kill you after I give them that reason." Gu Qingyang coldly said, and the black poisonous Qi in his body condensed into a snake and wrapped around his arm to his fist. Then he charged towards Tenku with amazing speed.

Gu Qingyang intended to use the black snake Qi to deal a death blow to Tenku. Once the black poison energy touched him, then he would die. Gu Qingyang was sure about it. Tenku was still able to fight with him until now because he had never been hit by that black Qi even a bit during their battle.

"What's that? It looks dangerous." Tenku frowned when he saw the snake of black Qi manifestation coiled around Gu Qingyang's arm. He sensed danger from that.

"In that case, I will create the same thing to deal with that." Tenku said in a low voice, and he compressed a large amount of Qi in his sword. His Qi transformed into a giant centipede. It looked like a miniature of the Devourer Scythe's released ability. After that, Tenku moved closer to Gu Qingyang, and his speed was not inferior to his opponent.

"What's that?" Gu Qingyang had the same question as Tenku when he saw that. Even though the snake on his sword looks vicious, the centipede on Tenku's blade is more terrible and makes him shiver. But he quickly shook his head to shake off those feelings.

"No! I'm much stronger than him! I can't be afraid of him! It must have been an illusion from him!" Gu Qingyang tried to convince himself and looked at Tenku sharply. The two people collided again, and the impact destroyed the arena.

Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

When the sword and fist met, the snake and centipede of the Qi manifestation moved and attacked each other. But the fight between the two didn't last long. The centipede is superior because it has thousands of sharp legs and can freely attack the snake.

"What!?" Gu Qingyang opened his eyes wide when he saw the Centipede entwining the poisonous black snake and tearing it apart with its thousands of sharp legs. But he became angry when he found out that Tenku was smiling at him. Gu Qingyang felt that Tenku looked down on him. He had never received such humiliation in his life.

"Bastard! I will not lose to you! I will win this competition! I will get Wang Ruyue!" Gu Qingyang roared with rage and looked at Tenku with bloodshot eyes. All the Qi in his body overflowed and cast the image of a demon's face above him.

Tenku frowned, and she quickly moved away from Gu Qingyang. He felt that his opponent's atmosphere had changed. Gu Qingyang's complexion became darker, and his strength increased and almost touched the half-step innate realm.

"Will he transform again? Did his anger trigger the black Qi in his body? He did become stronger after the image of the demon's face appeared. But it seems like he couldn't control it and started to be taken over by his black Qi." Tenku analyzed Gu Qingyang's situation. He did not dare to approach him because of the black Qi around him.

"This battle is likely to become more and more troublesome." Tenku sighed and looked at Gu Qingyang seriously.
