Chapter 289 - The Fight

Meanwhile, the other person, Young Master Xin, said: “The life of a man depends on his face, just as the life of a tree depends on its bark. If Prince Zhao didn’t invite Gongyi Tianheng to a battle, then would the lives of those subordinates not matter? His own face had been lost long ago. Now, even if he loses some more, so long as he can reveal his skills, no one would dare to bring it up after a year or so. When all is said and done, Gongyi Tianheng is nothing more than a person from the Peripheral Continents who lacks any support. Along this Road of Heaven’s Chosen, what does temporary fame amount to? After this Road of Heaven’s Chosen closes, who among those on the Central Continent would still know that there was this kind of prodigy?”
Prince Zhou, who had previously spoken out in ridicule, still had an extremely contemptuous tone: “As early as when it was determined that Gongyi Tianheng was a genuine prodigy, Third Zhao should’ve thought of a way to resolve their dispute. He’s just too arrogant, and it’s impossible for him to stop halfway through. I think that something like this is unavoidable.
“Xin, why bother making these excuses for him and glossing over his faults? Just take a look. If he can kill Gongyi Tianheng, then that’s fine. But if he can’t, there’ll certainly be organizations out there that’ll accept someone with potential like him. At that time, Third Zhao won’t necessarily be able to do anything to him. Once Gongyi Tianheng reaches the Immortal Realm, he’ll certainly soar sky-high. At that time, Third Zhao will be constantly sick to his stomach!”
Speaking up to here, Prince Zhou suddenly laughed: “When I think about that day and Third Zhao’s sullen face, this prince feels very happy! Hahahaha!”
Young Master Xin’s expression was unreadable. Nevertheless, his gaze fell below, and he slowly said: “In that case, that Gongyi Tianheng will also need to survive…”
Prince Zhou heard these words, and he slightly narrowed his eyes. After that, he didn’t talk anymore.
Underneath.
Tianheng and that Third Prince fought fiercely. Amid the unceasing strikes between the two’s weapons, some cracks unexpectedly appeared on the weapons’ surfaces. This was enough to show how much power the two were using as well as how strong their qi energies were.
More than four hours had passed. The cracks on the weapons became bigger and bigger. After a while, the instant that the two met in a violent collision, one above and one below, the golden baton and the spear simultaneously fractured. Bits and pieces scattered in all directions!
A nearby mid Immortal Realm martial artist was caught in the shrapnel of these fractured weapons. At first, he used some qi energy to stop it, but he didn’t anticipate the tumultuous momentum of the weapon shards. The shrapnel penetrated his qi energy, and injured his body! In a split second, the shards pierced into his arm!
This mid Immortal Realm martial artist was greatly alarmed. He hastily retreated backwards, and used his hand to cover those wounds that dribbled with blood. Just then, he perceived that horrifying strength. Then, he immediately understood even more clearly just how terrifyingly strong the two prodigies fighting on the battlefield were!
Gu Zuo slowly exhaled.
How outstanding!
In the past, granted that he followed his dear big brother through foul winds and bloody rains, he also didn’t have this kind of feeling right now where he was shaken to his core. This was because, at that time, he could always sense that his big brother handled things skillfully and easily, as if Tianheng could get though it with the lightest brushstroke. But this time was different. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that prodigies were better than those geniuses who could challenge the higher ranks. On top of that, they were both prodigies, but the other party’s realm was still two higher than that of his dear big brother — It could be said that the disparity was like a natural moat. As a result, during the fight, Gu Zuo could clearly sense that his big brother was the prudent one to the point that he didn’t hold back in the slightest.
In other words, this wasn’t a fight that Tianheng was completely assured of.
Although Gu Zuo was confident in Tianheng before and he wasn’t as worried as he would be, after he got a clear look at the battle situation, he couldn’t help clenching his fists.
He had to win!
Otherwise… Perhaps, it would only be a road to ruin!
In any case, after Tianheng and the Third Prince began fighting in earnest, they also forgot that this was originally a battle of life and honor.
After the weapons became damaged, the two straightforwardly tossed aside the hilts in their hands. The two brought up their fists, and resolutely pummeled each other!
Bang &#k2014; Boom, boom!
Both sides threw out three punches in a row.
The two acted extremely quickly. In a flash, they continuously exchanged blows.
Countless streams of qi energy burst forth from the places where the two collided. A type of thunderous rumbling echoed, which whistled out in all directions.
Such noises like that of a flooding storm caused the spectating martial artists to retreat once more.
By falling back, the opened venue became even larger. Those two fighting figures were practically cloaked in qi energy. Each of their moves were extremely powerful, and each of their moves targeted the opponent’s vital parts with the intent of thoroughly defeating the other!
The battle raged for a long time, but Tianheng was unflustered.
Through his palm style, a blood-red power was faintly discernible. Whenever he threw out a palm, not once did an enormous Blood Palm appear. However, a dense, blood-red palm formed on the surface of his hands. It seemed that gigantic Blood Palm had been shrunk to its limit, but it could still clash with the Third Prince’s golden fist energy. Both powers smashed the other.
Originally, Tianheng didn’t want to fight at close-quarters with the Third Prince. However, once the battle reached this point, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to do it, but that he had to.
The fight had gotten out of hand. Even if it was Tianheng, he had no way of regaining complete control over the situation!
Gu Zuo condensed his psychic power over his eyes, and distinguished the two fighting each other.
He wanted to know whether his big brother was unscathed…
Fortunately, it appeared that both of them were evenly matched. For the past few hours, neither side had once sustained any injuries during the fight.
The only things had been worn down were their profound qi and true qi.
Gradually, they fought from day to night.
Gu Zuo sensed that the curtain of the sky was darkening, and his heart suddenly trembled.
When it was night, wasn’t that the time when the monsters would come out…
However, he soon realized that there wasn’t a single monster in this ancient city. Although, while the sounds of monsters could be heard from outside the city, the sounds didn’t reach the city’s interior and had already faded away.
On this matter, Gu Zuo set aside his worries. Then, his attention returned to the two who were in the middle of fighting.
Perhaps, due to battling the entire day, the amount of energy the two used wasn’t small. Having reached this moment, Gu Zuo clearly perceived that the style of their moves had become even more domineering. It seemed that they wanted to determine the winner and loser as quickly as possible.
Tianheng’s right palm swung up and down. That palm, which was filled with a reddish-black power, immediately turned pitch-black. The poison within all of his bone pearls had been drawn out, and the strongest poison palm was created!
Even if it didn’t strike his body, the poison that came loose from the poison palm still seemed to corrode everything it touched. It made sizzling sounds as it moved through the air. This kind of powerful poison even made the Third Prince somewhat apprehensive, and his brows slightly furrowed. He retreated, and explosively threw out a fist to split and widen the gap!
This punch naturally couldn’t cancel out the poison completely, but Tianheng seized this opportunity to continuously withdraw. His waist turned, and a longbow had its bowstring pulled!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, thirteen arrows were sent out simultaneously!
A reddish-gold power burst forth. One arrow closely followed the next, reinforcing that power over and over again.
It didn’t take long for the first arrow to radiate with a golden light. It was incomparably bright, as if the tip of the arrow-head had produced a miniature, red sun. It was as intense as the noonday sun, and the blazing energy seemed to scorch the surrounding space!
Gu Zuo widened his eyes.
— It could be done like this, too?
But, it was really awesome!
As it turned out, the reason why Tianheng suddenly used up the poison in his body was to take advantage of this opportunity to extricate himself and fall back. Thus, came about this extremely great and powerful move of his where the numerous arrows combined into one.
At once, Gu Zuo’s line of sight fell onto the Third Prince.
Who knew what kind of move the Third Prince would use in response? He didn’t believe that an arrogant, heavenly prodigy who came from the Central Continent would be casually defeated like this!
Sure enough, that Third Prince wasn’t panicked at all.
Although his expression was slightly rattled, his entire body immediately started shining.
At the Third Prince’s dantian, a streak of light and shadow slowly appeared.
This streak of light and shadow instantly transformed into a changpao, which completely protected the Third Prince. After that, a shield suddenly emerged from the changpao’s front, covering the Third Prince’s vital parts.
In the blink of an eye, that red sun flew over and shot straight at the Third Prince. And the exact same time, the Third Prince’s shield shined brightly and instantly engulfed the red sun!
However, since the red sun was extremely resplendent, how could it be swallowed by another radiant light so easily? The red sun likewise unleashed its splendor, which competed with the shield’s bright light.
After becoming deadlocked, the red sun suddenly exploded!
A noise that seemed to shake the sky blasted outwards. It was like a clap of thunder that leveled the land. It greatly startled everyone!
The Third Prince was immediately engulfed by this sound, and his whole body was immersed within the light… But in the next moment, another noise spread out. Contrary to expectations, a figure flew out, and gradually stood firm upon the ground.
This was the Third Prince. He was still quite alive.
Only, his bundled hair had already come loose. It draped over his shoulders, and made him look especially coarse and wild. Between his eyebrows, there was rivulet of dried blood. This was a bloodstain that he’d been splashed with just when the red sun exploded.
On his body, there were numerous places that had blackened marks. The backs of his hands, his neck, and the rest of his bare skin showed injuries both large and small.
These wounds weren’t fatal, but the Third Prince’s appearance was much more haggard than before. Moreover, his clothes were somewhat torn. Just then, that spirit-weapon level changpao, which had been taken out to protect his body, had been greatly damaged. In the short-term, there was no way to take it out again to defend himself.
At this moment, the Third Prince was already furious.
He was like a fierce tiger as his fist intent burst forth, brazenly smashing down towards Tianheng’s head! Tianheng merely tilted his head and held his left palm up, which somewhat stopped the falling momentum of the fist intent. After that, Tianheng’s entire body twisted, and he similarly lashed out with an explosive punch!
The two began to fight once more.
This time, however, the Third Prince’s state seemed frantic. Each move was dedicated solely in offense, and he didn’t defend himself at all. Because even more profound qi was being poured into every attack and because many profound martial skills were being mixed together, the might of each move dramatically increased.
Tianheng’s gaze slightly brightened. It possessed a luminous and burning light.
He also fought fervently as if he was answering with a bitter and desperate battle, like the time when he was surrounded by a pack of spirit-level wild beasts. His mental state was stretched taut. No matter how the Third Prince took action, Tianheng was able to stably accept everything that the Third Prince threw at him.
Yet, due to the battle lasting too long, Tianheng’s meridians had a somewhat dull ache. And due to the Third Prince’s stormy and gale-like attacks, regardless of how Tianheng responded, it was also hard to avoid some injuries.
Suddenly, after the two smashed out a punch, they retreated simultaneously. Then, both of them slapped out a palm at the same time!
A golden-colored palm print instantly collided with a blood-red palm print!
