Fantasy: I Became Invincible By Editing Narratives

Chapter 178 Destiny Battle!

"Oh no, there's a trap!"

However, the moment the exclamations sounded, the expressions of the cultivators at the front changed.

But even if they reacted now, they could not retreat, mainly because they were about to rush in.

"Clang! Clang!"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing clanging sound kept ringing. The moment the sound rang, beams of cold light rushed over from the depths of the hall.

The cold light flickered, and the sharp aura made the cultivators' expressions change drastically again.

Then, white sword shadows quickly streaked across.

The terrifying sharp aura contained in these sword shadows was extremely powerful.

In fact, those cultivators could not dodge at all and were directly hit by the sword shadows.

They were already squeezed into a group. Now that the sword shadows flashed across, this group of cultivators was pierced through and their hearts turned cold.

Screams continued to sound.

With the screams, one could clearly see those cultivators falling to the ground one after another. The scene became extremely spectacular.

As for the cultivators who had yet to enter the hall, they broke out in cold sweat and retreated when they saw this.

If they retreated, the group of cultivators at the entrance of the hall would be in trouble.

In the blink of an eye, those cultivators had already fallen into a pool of blood and died.

It all happened so fast.

In an instant, dozens of cultivators died.

This made the cultivators who did not rush in heave a sigh of relief.

At the same time, some cultivators looked at Gu Shujue with hatred. After all, their companions had just rushed in and were killed by the sword shadows.

Now, they were all staring at Gu Shujue with hatred. They wanted to question him, but with Gu Shujue's status, they did not dare to say anything.

After all, Gu Shujue was the one who told them to rush in.

However, they could only blame themselves for being too greedy for the treasures and did not think of the consequences.

Just as everyone was looking, Gu Shujue kept glancing at Shen Ran from the corner of his eye.

He was waiting for Shen Ran to rush into the hall.

However, Shen Ran stood where he was, looking like he had no intention of entering at all.

Seeing this, Gu Shujue snorted and looked at Shen Ran. "Shen Ran, aren't you tempted by those natural treasures?"

Hearing Gu Shujue's words, Shen Ran appeared very calm. "I think you're more tempted than me."

As he spoke, a sly look flashed across Gu Shujue's eyes. "Both of us know very well. In that case, don't hide it anymore."

As Gu Shujue spoke, spiritual energy kept rising from his body.

There was a deep hatred between him and Shen Ran to begin with. After all, he had suffered a huge humiliation in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm and was beaten up by Shen Ran.

This made him seethe with anger. The injuries Shen Ran had inflicted on him last time had not healed, making him even angrier at Shen Ran.

The moment he saw Shen Ran, Gu Shujue had already guessed that there would be a huge battle between him and Shen Ran. This was inevitable.

On the other side, as soon as Gu Shujue finished speaking, Liu Nanzhi and Zhao Honglian took a few steps back in unison.

Although Shen Ran did not say anything, they all knew that the next battle would be between Shen Ran and Gu Shujue.

At the same time, the surrounding cultivators saw this and turned their attention to them.

"It's about to start."

"There is already a considerable grudge between Shen Ran and Gu Shujue. When the two of them appeared here, an inevitable battle was destined."

"We'll have a good show to watch next. After all, the two of them are the top two geniuses of the Southern Region."

"Although Gu Shujue was at a disadvantage in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm last time, he must have been careless at that time. Now that two months have passed, Gu Shujue's cultivation has already reached the eighth level of the Illumination Realm. I think he will definitely win this battle."

"It's hard to say. Although their cultivation levels are not proportional and Shen Ran is at a disadvantage, don't forget that the combat strength that Shen Ran erupts with is extremely terrifying."

In short, this battle will definitely determine who is the true number one in the Southern Region. Similarly, whoever wins will definitely obtain the natural treasures in the hall.

"…"

Discussions broke out all around.

While the discussions were going on, the spiritual energy fluctuations on Shen Ran and Gu Shujue's bodies were also rising rapidly.

The two of them stared at each other from afar, neither of them saying anything.

After all, they had already fought several times. Nothing they said could change the upcoming battle.

Just as the two of them targeted each other, no one noticed two figures slowly descending from the vortex at the bottom of the sea.

As soon as the two of them entered the underwater palace, they felt two extremely terrifying aura fluctuations.

When they sensed this terrifying aura fluctuation, they flashed over and hid in the dark.

Especially when they saw that the two people confronting each other were Shen Ran and Gu Shujue, they saw strong killing intent in their eyes.

The two of them were Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han!

While the two of them were secretly observing, Shen Ran and Gu Shujue had already started fighting.

The two of them locked onto each other and rushed towards each other at a terrifying speed.

The moment one rushed towards the other party, he clenched his fists.

Their clenched fists contained monstrous power, as if they wanted to sink this sea.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the fists of the two of them that were about to collide.

As far as one's eyes can see, "Bang!"

A muffled sound suddenly erupted, accompanied by a mighty shock wave which instantly spread in all directions, causing waves to surge at the bottom of the sea.

However, there was a barrier between the sea and the ground. The depths of the two of them were the same as the land outside. The only difference was the surging sea above.

However, at this moment, the sea kept producing waves as their fists collided.

As the waves surged, a terrifying wave of power instantly spread in all directions.

Rolling smoke and dust filled the air.

However, as this phenomenon surged, everyone saw a figure flying backwards into the distance like a kite with a broken string.

"It's Gu Shujue!"

"No way. Is the difference between the two of them so great when they first collided?"

"How could Gu Shujue be sent flying so far with a punch? On the other hand, Shen Ran stood rooted to the ground without moving. It's obvious who's stronger."

"Could it be that Gu Shujue hasn't remembered the lesson from last time? One should not be arrogant."

"…"

When they saw the figure that was sent flying, the surrounding cultivators exclaimed.

The power displayed by Shen Ran's punch exceeded their expectations again.

At the same time, Gu Shujue, who had been sent flying, slowly stood up under everyone's gaze.

However, to everyone's surprise, Gu Shujue did not look depressed at all. Instead, he smiled, a smile that his scheme had succeeded.

Gu Shujue looked at Shen Ran from afar and did not choose to rush towards him. Instead, he stood on the spot and kept forming seals with his hands.

As he formed seals, a rumbling sound came from the ground around Shen Ran.

? The moment the tremors continued, wisps of dazzling spiritual energy flickered around him.

These lights flickered and quickly connected to one another.

And all this happened very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a large array had condensed around Shen Ran.

The array formation operated, and an extremely terrifying and irritable aura fluctuation kept circulating, as if it wanted to destroy everything in the world.

As the array was activated, the smile on Gu Shujue's face deepened.

"Shen Ran, Shen Ran, I have to say that you're really too arrogant."

"Did you think I would fight you without absolute confidence?"

As Gu Shujue spoke, he kept injecting spiritual energy into the array. "This Killing Array is the top killing array of our Heavenly Demon Sect. It's meant to kill top experts."

"Now that you have fallen into this Killing Array, you will definitely die!"

When Gu Shujue's voice sounded, the surrounding cultivators revealed shocked expressions.

"I understand! I understand why Gu Shujue was at a disadvantage in the punch just now."

"So Gu Shujue had long set up an array formation here to wait for Shen Ran to fall into it."

I've heard of this Killing Array. It's said that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect once used such a killing array to severely injure a half-step True Emperor Realm expert."

"The current Gu Shujue is at the eighth level of the Illumination Realm. Doesn't this mean that anyone below the Marquis Realm will be directly killed?"

"It's over. It seems that the genius of the Southern Region is really going to die this time."
