Chapter 269: Chapter 269: The Battle with Gu Hanshan

Translator: 549690339

Fang Lin remained stoic, his eyes even held a touch of pity.

“It’s truly unexpected that you, Gu Hanshan, would end up in this state. If your father saw you now, I wonder what his reaction would be?” Fang Lin said indifferently.

Upon hearing these words, Gu Hanshan fumed with anger, his eyes overflowed with a savage glow, as if he had lost his sanity, and he charged straight towards Fang Lin.

“Fang Lin! I want you dead!!!” Gu Hanshan roared, his left arm, now transformed into a beastly claw, lunged out directly aiming for Fang Lin’s face.

Without retreating, Fang Lin, his expression not even wavering in the slightest, threw a punch at Gu Hanshan’s oncoming left arm, resulting in a harsh collision.

A thud ensued, shaking to a point where it caused earaches. Gu Hanshan was sent flying backward, unleashing weird cries, while Fang Lin also staggered backward a few steps, his brows knitted in a subtle frown.

Both men’s abilities had vastly increased, but at this moment, their clash resulted in a stalemate.

Actually, Fang Lin was a bit more surprised. He had refined an immortal essence blood drop and obtained the Breaking Peak Heritage, but Gu Hanshan, who had only absorbed a part of the dead flesh and blood of the Demon Beast, displayed such formidable strength which exceeded his expectations.

Roar!!!

A beast-like roar surged from Gu Hanshan’s throat as he charged at Fang Lin again, fully intending to tear him apart using his physical body.

Fang Lin chose not to use any other tactics, as he wanted to see how much potential his body possessed. Gu Hanshan was the perfect opponent for this test.

They clashed like two humanoid monsters, colliding over and over again without any fancy moves, just a straightforward clash of physical strength.

Meanwhile, Feng Qianqiu on the ground, seemed to have lost himself and stood gaping, as the two went back and forth relentlessly.

Gu Hanshan was incredibly fast and the dozen or so chains of flesh and blood behind him were quite a nuisance, but Fang Lin held a clear advantage — his defensive power was far superior to Gu Hanshan, and armed with the Nine Heavens Step Skill, Gu Hanshan’s speed gave him no advantage in front of Fang Lin.

However, those dozen or so chains of flesh and blood were annoying and quite restrictive for Fang Lin. Any moment of carelessness could result in injury from the chains.

Gu Hanshan seemed to have turned into an untiring and painless Demon Beast, recklessly attacking Fang Lin as if staking his own life.

However, Fang Lin wasn’t willing to risk his life against him. After his hard-fought escape from the Ghost Gate, he didn’t want to risk his life again so recklessly.

Therefore, Fang Lin always held back, relying on his formidable defensive power to stalemate with Gu Hanshan.

Seeing that the fight was dragging on, Gu Hanshan seemed a little anxious. Suddenly, a chilling bone claw emerged from the gaping hole in his chest and brutally slashed Fang Lin’s chest while he was caught off guard.

Fang Lin retreated abruptly, looking puzzled at Gu Hanshan’s open wound and then his own chest, which had three traces of claw marks.

“What kind of monster has this guy turned into?” Fang Lin cursed silently, clutching his massive bone club and violently smashing it towards Gu Hanshan.

Gu Hanshan kept on defending, but Fang Lin’s strength was astonishingly fierce, he channeled all his power into his swing, directly onto Gu Hanshan’s body with the assistance of the bone club.

Gu Hanshan was repeatedly forced backward. During the attack, that chilling bone claw emerged from the wound again and attempted to ambush Fang Lin. However, Fang Lin seized this opportunity, and with a quick swing, smashed the bone claw to pieces.

With his bone claw shattered, Gu Hanshan howled in pain as if he was deeply wounded.

Fang Lin sneered coldly, fiercely swinging the bone club not giving Gu Hanshan any opportunity to breathe, causing him to flee in a frenzy.

In terms of physical prowess, Fang Lin was superior. After all, he had absorbed the Immortal Essence blood and received the full Breaking Peak Heritage.

On the other hand, Gu Hanshan was merely a hybrid between a human and a demon, having merely absorbed part of the Demon Beast’s flesh and blood. Although half of his body was potent, the other half was fairly vulnerable.

Fang Lin seized this conspicuous weakness of Gu Hanshan and began ruthlessly bashing him with his bone club, completely taking control of the situation and leaving Gu Hanshan without any opportunity to fight back.

Roar!!!

Gu Hanshan let out a furious roar. The scales on his body seemed to multiply, gradually spreading across his entire body.

Seeing this, Fang Lin realized that Gu Hanshan was still increasing in power. Once the scales covered Gu Hanshan’s whole body, his ability to maintain the upper hand would diminish.

Because of this, Fang Lin decided to end this fight quickly and slay Gu Hanshan then and there.

Roar!

All of the dozen chains of flesh and blood behind Gu Hanshan flew towards Fang Lin simultaneously. Each pointed end of the chains sprouted a wicked eye.

Fang Lin sensed the lurking danger and immediately retreated.

Despite this, those chains flitted to his sides from all directions, blocking all of Fang Lin’s retreat paths.

Fang Lin wore a solemn expression and stomped on the ground. Suddenly, the image of the Breaking Peak enveloped him, from which faint roars could be heard.

The dozen or so chains slammed against the image of the Breaking Peak, aiming to shatter it and kill Fang Lin inside.

However, the defense of this Breaking Peak image was extraordinary. Fang Lin had activated the talent power of the Breaking Peak. It could arguably be called the strongest defensive stance.

Moreover, behind Fang Lin, the image of a large white elephant appeared. Lifting its massive leg, it ruthlessly stomped down towards Gu Hanshan.

White Elephant Trampling Mountain!

Once Fang Lin unleashed his trump card, it put enormous pressure on Gu Hanshan. At the incoming strike of the white elephant, Gu Hanshan didn’t dare to resist and dodged immediately.

Boom!!!

The white elephant stomped on empty air, but directed another blow towards Gu Hanshan’s escape path, leaving him no opportunity to counterattack.

The two battled offensively and defensively, resulting in a stalemate for a while.

However, Fang Lin still had some tricks up his sleeve. In contrast, Gu Hanshan seemed to be getting increasingly frantic, as if he was being pushed into a corner.

Watching Gu Hanshan dancing around the white elephant’s attacks, Fang Lin said, “You are bound to die today, Gu Hanshan. Do you have any last words? I might be merciful enough to pass them to your father.”

Gu Hanshan burst into a hideous laugh upon hearing this, “Fang Lin, the one who’s destined to die today is you!”

There was already too much enmity between them to discern right from wrong. However, one thing both of them were very clear about, that is, one of them must die today.

Fang Lin admitted, he had underestimated Gu Hanshan. He hadn’t expected Gu Hanshan to be so formidable. He wasn’t as impressive just because his father is a first seat, but because Gu Hanshan himself was a difficult adversary to deal with.

Gu Hanshan also underestimated Fang Lin’s capabilities. He never thought Fang Lin would corner him to this extent. Today’s fight seemed to be predestined, drawing them to settle this once and for all.

Buzz!

Fang Lin slapped his Nine Palace Bag and pulled out his blood-red longsword. He was determined to kill Gu Hanshan and leave him with no chances of survival.

But just as Fang Lin pulled out the blood-red longsword, the corpse of the Demon Saint who had been motionless on the ground suddenly opened its dry eyes.
