?Tenku gathered a large amount of Qi at the tip of his sword until it became the size of a cannonball. He compressed it in layers and made it extremely dense. After that, Tenku shot it toward Gu Qingyang.
Meteoric Blast!
"Huh!?" Gu Qingyang was shocked when he saw Tenku's attack because he felt it was dangerous. His instincts told him that he couldn't block it and had to dodge the energy ball no matter what. Otherwise, it could seriously injure him. But before Gu Qingyang could move, he saw Tenku unleash another attack.
Tactical Rapid Slash!
Tenku released dozens of sword Qi to the right and left of Gu Qingyang to block his escape route.
"Damn!" Tenku didn't give him a chance to dodge. In that situation, Gu Qingyang quickly circulated the Qi in his hand and punched out the huge energy ball coming at him.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
Gu Qingyang's face changed drastically when his fist clashed with the energy cannonball. He quickly pulled his hand back in fear of being crushed by the attack. But after that, Tenku's attack hit his body and sent him flying while vomiting blood.
Spurt!
Gu Qingyang forcefully stabilized his body in the air so he could land properly before leaving the arena. If not, then he will be declared a loser in that match.
Luckily his physique had been strengthened many times over and protected by the black Qi after using the demon transformation. Otherwise, he would have disintegrated into a blood mist from being badly hit by that attack.
"You… what was that attack!? First were the Qi bullets, and now were the energy cannonballs. I'm sure the Wang family doesn't have such a technique." Gu Qingyang looked at Tenku and asked with a gloomy face.
After the Qi bullets that could counter his Poison dark energy, Tenku came at him with another attack that could penetrate his body's solid defenses with layers of black poison Qi. He was confused about where Tenku got such a powerful technique.
"You can think of that as a technique I created." Tenku replied nonchalantly.
Tactical Fire and Meteoric Blast are techniques that Tenku created after combining the concept of the Golden Revolver attack when using a fourth-level monster core with one of the moves in the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique, Meteoric Arrow.
Tenku had created the technique before he came to Beijing but had never tried it directly in actual combat. He had not expected that its destructive power would be so terrifying and would help him deal with Gu Qingyang in the match.
"Impossible! How could a fifteen-year-old boy invent your technique!? My grandfather and other cultivators who have lived for more than seventy years can't do that! So how could you create such a powerful technique!?
You don't have to talk nonsense if you don't want to say it! Do you think I'm stupid and will believe your words!?" Gu Qingyang quickly refuted it because he didn't believe Tenku's words. He thought his opponent was lying because he didn't want to tell him about his technique.
"It's up to you whether you want to believe my words or not. What matters now is that I must defeat you. I don't have time to play with you anymore." Tenku shrugged and didn't care what Gu Qingyang thought of him.
He had to defeat Gu Qingyang as soon as possible because not much Qi was left in his body. Unless Tenku released his power at the Sky Origin realm, he would be exhausted after all his Qi was used up. He pointed his sword again at Gu Qing and fired another energy cannonball.
Meteoric Blast!
"Do you think you can beat me just because you managed to hurt me!? I'll show you how stupid your mind is! In the end, I will be the victor of this competition!" Gu Qingyang sneered, and his cultivation base at the late stage of the Sky Origin realm exploded. Then he created a black energy ball the same size as Tenku's attack and shot it.
Booooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
Their attacks collided and created a massive explosion that ruined the arena. In addition, a lot of poisonous black energy was scattered due to the impact, and Tenku had to avoid it because he couldn't get rid of it completely this time.
After the explosion ended, Gu Qingyang shot toward Tenku at a terrifying speed. Tenku was not idle when he saw his opponent approaching him. He slashed his sword and released dozens of blade auras.
"That attack is useless to me!" Gu Qingyang snorted coldly and didn't slow down. He let Tenku's attack hit his body because he was sure it couldn't hurt him. But then his face changed as he felt he couldn't move any closer to Tenku.
"What is this?" Gu Qingyang saw light chains binding his hands, feet, and stomach to the arena. Then he remembered that the chains' location was where Tenku's attack hit him.
"You set me up again? You didn't intend to injure or slow me down but to lock me in?" Gu Qingyang said in a trembling voice. His reaction was not because he was surprised or scared but because he was angry that he had walked into Tenku's trap for the second time. The first was when Lin Zhantian accidentally attacked him.
Tenku just smiled after seeing his plan succeed. He released the Qi chain disguised as an aura blade so Gu Qingyang would not suspect anything about it. Tenku knew that ordinary sword Qi would not be able to injure his opponent's current body. But he did it anyway because he knew Gu Qingyang would take his attack head-on.
The first genius of the Gu family was a proud and arrogant person. What's more, his strength had increased drastically now. Gu Qingyang wouldn't care about a weak attack that wouldn't hurt him.
After the attack hit Gu Qingyang's body, the aura blades transformed into Qi chains and connected with the spikes of Qi that Tenku had secretly planted when their attacks clashed.
Tenku pointed his sword at Gu Qingyang and compressed the Qi at the tip. After the energy cannonball formed, he fired it.
"Bastard! I will break every bone in your body!" Gu Qingyang roared and tried to break free. But when the Qi chains cracked, Tenku's attack fell on him.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
The Qi Chains shattered, and Gu Qingyang was blown away several meters. He quickly stamped his foot onto the floor to prevent himself from leaving the arena. Gu Qingyang looked at Tenku with bloodshot eyes and was about to attack him. But before he could move, he suddenly spat out blood.
Spurt!
Gu Qingyang clutched his chest because the wound he received from the energy cannonball was severe. Fortunately, he quickly gathered black poisonous Qi at the point where the energy cannonball was about to hit his body.
"I didn't expect you still didn't lose consciousness or get knocked out of the arena with that attack. Your physical strength far exceeds my expectations." Tenku said in surprise.
He had thought that his attack would be enough to defeat Gu Qingyang. Tenku had little Qi left in his body and could only fire one more energy cannonball. But after that, he would be completely drained and exhausted if he still suppressed his cultivation base at the Earth Origin realm.
"I will not lose to you! I must beat you miserably! You have taken my woman. You have caused trouble for my grandfather. You have embarrassed me in public. If I don't crush you in this match, my mind won't be at ease." Gu Qingyang said hatefully. He secretly took a small object from his trouser pocket and swallowed it.
His movements were so fast and secretive that Jin Zhaohui and the referees around the arena didn't notice. The only person who knew about it was Tenku because he was not far from Gu Qingyang.
"What have you eaten?" Tenku narrowed his eyes and asked. Then he looked at Jin Zhaohui and the referees around the arena, but they didn't say anything. So Tenku thought Gu Qingyang's actions did not violate the competition rules.
"You have cornered me and forced me to use the Qi Explosion Pill. I originally intended to save this thing and use it with the Qi accumulation pill to break through two realms simultaneously. But you have thwarted my plan.
First, you forced me to use demon transformation, and now you make me swallow that pill. You must pay very dearly for what you did." Gu Qingyang coldly said, and his cultivation base suddenly rose to the great perfection of the Sky Origin realm.
"That pill increased his cultivation base?" Tenku's face darkened when he felt Gu Qingyang's strength skyrocket. His opponent's cultivation base was stronger than his own if he used his full strength.
The Qi Explosion Pill was a medicine that could temporarily increase strength. Unlike the Qi accumulation pill, which contained a large amount of heaven and earth aura, the Qi explosion had to use the Qi from the user's body. After the pill was consumed, the amount of Qi in the body would be forcibly multiplied, and it would be possible to temporarily break through to the next realm.
Of course, the Qi explosion pill also has side effects, but not as severe as the demon transformation. After the strength-enhancing effect of the pill ended, that person would become exhausted and unable to use Qi for a few days. The side effects will become even more terrifying after using demon transformation.
But when the Qi explosion pill is consumed with the Qi accumulation pill, the user can avoid the side effect and multiply the amount of heaven and earth aura inside the Qi accumulation pill. Therefore, Gu Qingyang kept it and intended to use it to break through the two realms.
The higher the realm, the longer it would take for a cultivator to break through, especially since the amount of Qi in the earth was so thin. But with the help of the Qi accumulation pill and Qi explosion pill, Gu Qingyang could shorten his cultivation time and become strong much faster.
"I don't believe that I can't defeat cultivators in the Earth Origin realm with my current strength. I couldn't waste any more time and had to finish him off quickly. Otherwise, the side effects I get will get worse." Gu Qingyang clenched his fists tightly and looked at Tenku viciously. Then his figure suddenly appeared in front of Tenku and punched him.
"So fast!" Tenku's face changed, and he quickly swung his sword to block Gu Qingyang's attack.
Clank!
"Ugh!" Tenku was knocked back several meters because the difference in their current strength was so great. He found it difficult just to block one punch from his opponent. Tenku quickly stabilized his body and prepared to counterattack. But before he could do anything, he saw a huge ball of black poisonous energy block his view and engulf him.
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
