Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 121 121
?"One has fallen. Now it's your turn." Tenku said in a low voice and turned his eyes to Gu Qingyang.
"I didn't expect you to have a technique even more frightening than a killing move from the Lin family. Besides that, you have also mastered sword intent. It really surprised me. But do you think you can do the same to me because you defeated Lin Zhantian with your power?
If that's what you think, then you are foolish. I am different from the person lying there." Gu Qingyang pointed at Lin Zhantian outside the arena, who was examined by the medical team. After that, they carried him on a stretcher to the infirmary.
"In that case, I'd like to see your strength and what differentiates you from him." Tenku said indifferently and didn't care about Gu Qingyang's words. After he finished his sentence, his figure suddenly disappeared.
"Humph! Your trick won't work on me." Gu Qingyang snorted coldly and swung his sword to the side.
Clank!
Tenku appeared right next to Gu Qingyang, and the two swords clashed. But Tenku's face didn't change when he saw that his opponent knew the direction his attack was coming from. He could already guess that his slash would not be able to hit Gu Qingyang.
"As expected of the Gu family's first genius. Besides your high cultivation base, your combat power differs from the other participants." Tenku said calmly and gave Gu Qingyang consecutive thrusts.
Thousands of Stabs!
"Didn't I tell you that your little tricks won't work for me, who possesses absolute strength!?" Gu Qingyang said coldly and injected Qi into his sword. Then he slashed it toward Tenku's attack.
Evil King Slash!
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Initially, Gu Qingyang was confident that his technique could easily block Tenku's attack. But he didn't expect that he would be pushed back by his opponent.
"You use quantity against quality?" Gu Qingyang narrowed his eyes at Tenku, who kept throwing consecutive thrusts at him without giving him any room to breathe and counterattacked.
Gu Qingyang thought Tenku would lose if he clashed with him with only one attack since his cultivation base was far lower than his. Because of that, Tenku used consecutive attacks to make up for that shortcoming.
Tenku smiled in response to Gu Qingyang's question and had no intention of answering him. Then he changed his hand movement from a thrust to a slash.
Thousands of Slashes!
Clank! Clank! Clank!
"Ugh!" Gu Qingyang's face darkened after clashing again with Tenku as his opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations. He knew that Tenku trained the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art, and his physical strength was far stronger than practitioners of the same cultivation base.
But Gu Qingyang shouldn't be pushed back because he had a cultivation base in the Sky Origin realm, and his physical strength was also solid for a cultivator who hadn't tempered his physique. He felt that something was off with Tenku.
Gu Qingyang thought he could focus on fighting him and quickly defeat him after Lin Zhantian was knocked out. But the reality is not as easy as he imagined. Tenku was extremely strong for a cultivator in the Earth Origin realm and repelled him in their clash.
"I can't go on like this! It would be so embarrassing if people saw me being beaten back by someone with a much lower cultivation base than me! It looks like I have to use one of my trump cards! I don't care if he lives or dies afterward!" Gu Qingyang smiled viciously, and a pitch-black Qi concentrated at the tip of his sword into a ball of energy.
Tenku frowned when he saw that. He felt that the energy ball was extremely dangerous. Tenku quickly moved away from Gu Qingyang to keep his distance from him.
"You want to go? Too late!" Gu Qingyang pointed his sword at Tenku, and the condensed energy shot out like a cannonball.
Poison Dark Energy!
The pitch-black energy ball shot at lightning speed and hit Tenku, or so Gu Qingyang and the audience saw it. But it didn't take long for Gu Qingyang to realize that his attack had not hit his opponent but an afterimage.
"You run away really fast. But I'll ensure you can't dodge my attack again." Gu Qingyang shifted his eyes to his right, and he saw Tenku standing there quietly.
Although Tenku managed to dodge Gu Qingyang's attack, his sleeve was touched by the black energy and melted. Tenku frowned when he saw his clothes burning with a rotten smell after being hit by Gu Qingyang's attack.
"Your attacks are disgusting. Does your Qi contain poison?" Tenku looked at Gu Qingyang. Even though he didn't expect his opponent to answer his question, he opened his mouth out of curiosity about the technique. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
"You are right. It was one of the techniques of the Ancient Demon Scripture. Next, I will hit it in your face and make you feel the pain that makes you want to die." Gu Qingyang grinned evilly and charged forward, pointing his sword at his opponent.
A ball of black energy formed at the tip of his weapon, and he shot it toward Tenku's face. Gu Qingyang unleashed three attacks at once to seal off his opponent's escape route and ensure the energy ball hit him.
"Yes, your technique lives up to the name of your practice. Too evil and disgusting. The smell makes me want to puke." Tenku injected a large amount of Qi into his sword and slashed in succession at the three energy balls. He felt his weapon would be damaged if he blocked that attack directly. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
Tactical Rapid Slash!
Dozens of sword Qi shot towards the three black energy and clashed.
Boooooooommmmmmmmm!
Tenku quickly moved to avoid the impact of the clash of the two attacks. To be more precise, a tiny black energy was aiming at him. He noticed that it was still dangerous after seeing the arena floor melt after coming into contact with it.
When Tenku dodged, he saw another ball of black energy coming at him. He sighed and aimed the tip of his sword as Gu Qingyang did. Tenku condensed his Qi into the shape of a bullet and fired it.
Tactical Fire!
Booooooooooommmmmmmmm!
The two attacks collided and exploded, creating a crater in the middle of the arena. This time there was no bit of black energy left.
"What!? What are you doing!? How can you block my attacks? That poisonous black energy shouldn't be able to dissipate completely!" Gu Qingyang was shocked when he saw the scene.
His grandfather and the patriarch of the Gu family had told him that the technique was nearly impossible to block or resist due to its corrosive nature and unbreakable form of energy. If it were cut with a sword, the weapon would melt, but if it was crushed, the black energy ball would be broken into small pieces and would not dissipate until it hit something and corroded it. Even without the effects of the corrosion, the ball of black energy still possessed the destructive power of a cultivator in the Sky Origin realm.
Tenku not only matched the black energy's destructive power with a single strike, but she also dispelled the small corrosive fragments scattered by the explosion's impact. This made Gu Qingyang confused.
"Isn't that easy? No matter how strong or toxic your attack is, it is still a condensed mass of energy. I have to use the same technique against that thing. Then the burst from my attack turned into high-heat energy and vaporized the fragments of your black poisonous Qi." Tenku replied.
"Impossible! You are merely a cultivator in the Earth Origin realm! You cannot match an attack from a cultivator in the Sky Origin realm!" Gu Qingyang didn't believe Tenku's words.
"I did the same thing I did before. Did you forget? I'll have to use quantity if I can't fight you with quality. I compressed the Qi many times in that attack to become on par with you." Tenku explained.
"I see. Even if you can counter my attacks, I don't believe you have enough Qi to use that technique repeatedly." Gu Qingyang pointed his sword at Tenku again. This time he shot out five black poison energies at once.
"In that case, you will be disappointed because I can use that technique hundreds of times." Tenku said and pointed his sword at the attack that was coming at him.
Tactical Rapid Fire!
Boom! Boom! Booooom!
"What!?" Gu Qingyang opened his eyes wide when he saw Tenku shoot the same number of attacks as the black energy ball. After that, Tenku's figure blurred and suddenly appeared before him.
Gu Qingyang did not panic. He channeled the Qi in his sword and slashed it at Tenku from close range. But when he thought his strike would hit his opponent, Gu Qingyang's face changed because he slashed not Tenku but his afterimage. The real Tenku was already behind him and slashed his sword.
Slash!
"Argh!" Qingyang groaned in pain from the slash on his back. Luckily, he quickly moved from that place after noticing that Tenku was behind him. Because of that, the injuries he received were shallow.
"How dare you hurt me!" Gu Qingyang roared angrily. This was the first time he had been injured when fighting against cultivators his age.
Usually, he suppresses whoever he fights with absolute power, and the battle ends in no time. But the situation now is the opposite. Tenku was constantly pressuring Gu Qingyang, someone whose cultivation base was far beyond his. It embarrassed Gu Qingyang because many people saw the match.
Intense black Qi exploded from Gu Qingyang's body, and the arena beneath his feet cracked as it couldn't withstand the force.
"Originally, I didn't want to use this technique. But you have forced me. I won't be able to calm down before breaking your legs and arms. I will not be satisfied before I can torture you to death!" Gu Qingyang said coldly. His body slowly grew to be over two meters tall and his clothes were torn as they couldn't accommodate his current size.
His pants were intact because they were specially made so they wouldn't get damaged when his body changed significantly. Unfortunately, Gu Qingyang didn't wear a set of clothes of the same type as his pants because he hadn't thought of using that technique in the match against Tenku in the first place.
Gu Qingyang's complexion turned black with veins bulging all over his body. He looked at Tenku with bloodshot eyes and then opened his mouth.
Demon Transformation!
