With the Great Que in hand, Shen Li in the Seventh Layer Realm should have no match.
He flexed his fingers and tapped lightly, placing them on the great sword.
Subconsciously, he wanted to use "Chi Huo" to pierce through the iron and shake Shen Li’s spirit!
The moment Chi Huo streaked across his forehead——
The Golden Hoop appeared!
The suppression of the Battle Fire caused Chi Huo to extinguish directly, and Gu Shen grunted, the streak of golden light on his forehead fleeting and dissipating, the piercing pain in his spirit led him to abandon the strike.
Indeed... he had yet not adapted to the Golden Hoop.
For Chi Huo, even leaving the body was extremely difficult.
And this scene was a huge encouragement in Shen Li’s eyes!
The Brother Gu of the past, faced with this strike, would never have let out that grunt!
The Little Iron Man’s spirit soared, his eyes seemed to shoot out sparks as he gripped the Great Que Sword Hilt with both hands, jumping up high on the spot, and then like swinging a stick, heavily smashed the broadsword down——
Gu Shen sidestepped and swept past.
This time, he tried to use the immature "Complete Flash"...
In the past, with the aide of his formidable spiritual power, he could precisely capture the next instant of his opponent’s attack trajectory.
Thus, the dodging of "Complete Flash" was extremely exquisite, but at that moment, with Gu Shen’s spirit power fully retracted, all that could make judgments were his skin, hair, and intuition.
He finally understood.
What Bai Shu had said, the more you see, the harder it is to learn.
Without the aide of spiritual power, the precision of "Complete Flash" was lacking somewhat... and in actual combat, such a small gap could lead to a change in the entire battle!
Shen Li’s sword strike was extremely powerful, directly blasting a huge pit in the top of Cemetery Hill, and amidst the flying dust, a rather disheveled figure leaped out, Gu Shen holding his arm with one hand, very slight red blood seeping through his garment.
He had dodged the sword strike, but not the Sword Qi!
This Great Que indeed deserved its "A-grade" name... as the sword fell, it released a ferocious killing intent for several metres!
Gu Shen received a minor injury.
"Brother Gu! I’m coming!"
Shen Li’s battle spirit soared, dragging the Great Que and charging at high speed.
He saw hope in this battle!
In the tens of battles he had with Gu Shen, not once had Gu Shen been injured!
And the next moment, he met Gu Shen’s "gaze".
Shen Li’s heart skipped a beat.
Gu Shen’s eyes were incredibly calm, showing no hint of panic.
This, like every previous battle, was exactly the same.
It seemed as if a wisp of Chi Huo appeared in that pupil, and Shen Li took a deep breath, knowing that Gu Shen’s main attack was spiritual and that he might be subject to a Spiritual Attack upon eye contact!
Therefore, Shen Li focused his spirit, concentrating all his attention on Gu Shen!
This strike, he must land it!
That... was the Little Iron Man’s only thought at the moment——
The Great Que was lifted high, and smashed down heavily.
In mid-air, suddenly, a huge iron shield appeared!
Shen Li’s pupils contracted, and then he realized... Gu Shen carried an unnamed item, a very strange iron seal that had no other property except being hard!
The sword, unavoidable in its descent, was slashed down!
Brilliant and dazzling sparks of iron exploded in the air, and the dull sound of the blast resounded abruptly——
The one leaping high with a sword was shaken and sent flying backwards.
Cemetery Hill returned to silence.
Gu Shen patted his body, dusting off the dirt.
He picked up the Great Que that had flown behind him, lifted it strongly, and observed silently.
Hmm... it was indeed heavy, but with the power of the Iron Throne, he could wield it.
It seemed Mr. Shan hadn’t mistreated the Netherworld King’s "Angel Envoy".
Gu Shen came to the dazed Shen Li, returned the Great Que, and said with a smile, "This bout wasn’t bad, it’s a bit of a pity. It seems that with a bit more effort... you might be able to defeat me."
