Chapter 852 - Controlling the War
Gu Sen did not turn around to counterattack because it was already too late for him to unleash his sword.
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, Gu Sen immediately shot forward. The cold Genuine Qi roared out from his body, instantly condensing into a thick ice wall behind him.
"Bam!"
In a split-second, the Flaming Pointed Awl had already landed on the ice wall.
Amidst the heaven shaking sound, the ice wall suddenly exploded and the Flaming Pointed Awl was also instantly shattered. However, the incomparably violent and blazing Strength Qi broke through the ice barrier and ruthlessly smashed onto Gu Sen's back, which had just formed into a layer of ice shield.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
The protective shield shattered and Gu Sen was sent flying. He flew a dozen meters through the air before heavily falling to the ground. He staggered a few steps before stabilizing his body.
The vital energy and blood in Gu Sen's chest churned, and a red flush appeared on his face. However, it was soon replaced by a livid expression.
At that instant, Gu Sen's expression was sinister, and his eyes overflowed with killing intent.
In regards to this life and death battle, he was absolutely confident that he could kill Tang Huan. Even though Tang Huan had blocked the two forms of the "Cold Edge Kill Sword" earlier, his confidence did not weaken in the slightest. However, he did not expect that after such a short period of time, he had become battered by Tang Huan's strange attack, and even suffered some minor injuries.
Gu Sen had always been a proud and arrogant person. He never thought that he would be forced into such a sorry state by a Rank Six True Spirit fellow on the life and death arena. To him, this was an extreme humiliation.
Almost at the same time, the surroundings of the round table went into an uproar.
"Am I seeing things? Gu Sen was actually tricked?"
"What cultivation technique did Tang Huan use just now? It actually moved so far away all of a sudden, and there are no traces of it to follow. "
"Could it be an illusion technique?"
"Motherf * cker, Gu Sen might even lose this battle!"
"You're thinking too much. This is just the beginning. Just you wait and see. Gu Sen suffered a loss, so he's definitely going to fight back!"
"..."
"Tang Huan!"
On the circular platform, Gu Sen clenched his teeth and growled.
In his line of sight, Tang Huan's figure was like lightning, his spear was like a dragon, and quickly approached him. Wherever he went, the heat would be like a tide. However, there was no aura that revealed itself within Tang Huan's body. The heat that followed the roar of the spear seemed to be dissipating in all directions.
This sign was extremely subtle, but Gu Sen was able to keenly sense it.
"Illusion!" Yet another move? "
Gu Sen sneered in his heart.
Although his eyes were still looking forward, his attention was completely focused on his left, right, and behind him. Almost at the same time, an extremely tyrannical pressure also surged out from Gu Sen's body. With only a blink, the entire Life and Death Stage was enveloped within.
Just a moment of carelessness had allowed Tang Huan to take advantage of the loophole, and now that he was using pressure, Tang Huan no longer had any chance. As long as he was on this life and death arena, no matter where Tang Huan moved to, the moment she appeared, she would definitely trigger his pressure and let him sense her presence.
However, what surprised Gu Sen was that there were no movements on the left, right, or behind him.
At this moment, a cry of surprise sounded out from around the round stage.
"This is bad!"
Gu Sen inwardly cursed. He immediately realized that Tang Huan did not use the strange teleportation method from before, but had instead used an attack from the front. The things that he had sensed previously, was only that Tang Huan had purposefully made an illusion to confuse him.
How could this be?
Gu Sen was shocked.
Even if his attention wasn't focused on the area in front of him, his pressure still covered the area in front of him. Logically speaking, he should have already known that something was wrong, but strangely, he hadn't noticed anything before. The reason he could realise it now, was because he suddenly thought of something. If Tang Huan was really an illusion in front of him, then he would have disappeared under the pressure that he had instigated.
But not only did Tang Huan not dissipate, he was already very close to him.
"How hateful!" At this time, Gu Sen no longer had the time to think as he thrust out the longsword in his hand at the fastest speed possible.
"Ding!"
In the blink of an eye, the crisp sound of clanging metals resounded above the Life and Death Stage. Gu Sen felt a surge of energy rush up, and although he managed to forcibly block the energy's impact and prevent it from invading his body, he couldn't help but take a step back.
Gu Sen's face darkened. A dignified peak Rank Seven True Spirit cultivator was actually forced back by the Rank Six True Spirit's Tang Huan!
A sense of embarrassment and annoyance rose uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart. However, before he could counterattack, the fiery red spear shadow appeared once again, rapidly expanding in his pupils.
Gu Sen could only swing his sword.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding … …"
Spear after spear, sword after sword. Intense crisp sounds rose one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Huan had unleashed eighteen strikes, and Gu Sen had countered eighteen attacks. Every time their spear and sword collided, Gu Sen would involuntarily take a step back. After the 18 strikes, Gu Sen was forced 18 steps back. His face swelled red as if it were bleeding.
This was not only caused by his vital energy and blood tumbling, it was also caused by his shame and anger.
Ever since Tang Huan had thrusted the first spear out, he discovered that he had completely fallen into Tang Huan's rhythm of attack. He had more than once wanted to pull apart the distance between them, or use a powerful offensive skill to force Tang Huan to retreat, but his attempts had all been in vain.
The speed at which Tang Huan teleported, the speed of his attacks, and even the power that he did not use his spear with, all made it impossible for him to react at all. The only thing he could do was to thrust out his longsword at the fastest speed he could, causing Tang Huan to be able to block the attacks.
This kind of situation appearing in a life or death battle was undoubtedly very frightening.
Under the circular platform, many spectators also noticed the abnormality and cried out in alarm one after another.
"Gu Sen's situation doesn't look good!"
"I never thought that it would be like this, Tang Huan has already completely grasped the initiative."
"Damn it, this Gu Sen might very well be defeated by Tang Huan. On this life and death arena, defeat is death! "
"..."
"I still underestimated Tang Huan!" Amongst the crowd, Gong Xi sighed endlessly.
"Tang Huan is actually this strong, to the point where he has complete control over the battle. Generally speaking, when facing an opponent at the peak of the Rank Seven True Spirit like Gu Sen, I m afraid it would have to be an expert of the Essence Condensation Realm to be able to do this. Eastroad was also amazed.
"Senior sister Qi Lian?" Under the eaves of a house, a young woman was somewhat unable to restrain herself.
"Don't worry, Gu Sen won't lose that easily."
Qi Lian frowned.
The development of the situation had indeed greatly exceeded her expectations.
Initially, he did not have much suspense towards this life and death battle between Tang Huan and Gu Sen, but looking at the current situation, Gu Sen was indeed at a disadvantage. If he could not find a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible, he might really die under Tang Huan's hands!
Narrowing her eyes, she sized up Tang Huan, who was once again striking out with his spear on the round stage. The coldness in Qi Lian's eyes grew stronger, this ability to control the battle was too terrifying, if he was able to escape this calamity …
