Free Web NovelChapter 124: The Prodigal Son Returns (Part - 2)
Meanwhile, Gu Chen completely ignored Bai Haoran’s taunts because his eyes had wandered right back to Bai Bing.
He was genuinely shocked to sense that her cultivation had grown by absolute leaps and bounds over the past month. she was a Spirit Realm cultivator like him and he could already sense the Origin Realm aura from her, and it was not weak.
’Che!’ He internally clicked his tongue in frustration as he thought about how he was unable to use Gu Ling to cultivate the dual art technique with her, even though the poor girl was still entirely under his charm and will practically threw herself at him whenever he wanted.
But looking up at Bai Bing’s beautiful, sweat-covered face and her incredibly tempting curves, his mind could not help but fill with thoughts of dragging her down from the stage and mess her up even more in front of the whole damn crowd.
But Bai Bing just glared at him with pure disgust and entirely ignored his hungry gaze.
Standing right beside him, Gu Ling also noticed his lingering, lustful stare on Bai Ling, and her chest tightened with sudden rush of incredibly bitter jealousy.
"Ahemm!" She cleared her throat to forcefully grab his attention.
"Hmm!" Hearing her, Gu Chen snapped out of his dirty fantasy and looked beside her at Gu Ling, instantly putting on his gentle face as he smiled warmly at her, "Why don’t you go ahead and show everyone your beautiful magic cousin Ling? I know you will absolutely dominate them."
Gu Ling looked deeply into his eyes for a second longer, completely desperate for his absolute attention, before she obediently nodded her head and immediately dashed toward the Spirit Realm platform.
"Well, since everyone here was apparently missing me so much, it would be highly impolite for me to keep you all waiting any longer," With Gu Ling gone, Gu Chen announced arrogantly, slowly drawing his sword as he took a confident step toward Stage Three.
But before he could take another step, Gu Fan suddenly burst out from the Gu Clan crowd.
Gu Chen wanted to slap the person away but when he saw it was Gu Fan, he resisted the urge and watched as Gu Fan threw his arms around him, pulling him into a suffocating bear hug while acting like a terrified, loving little brother.
"Big Brother Chen! You are finally here!" Gu Fan cried out loudly, making sure the entire crowd could hear his pathetic, whining voice, "I missed you so much, and I was so incredibly afraid!"
"That bastard Bai Yun and the Bai Clan elders were shamelessly making fun of me, taunting and bullying me!"
Gu Fan shamelessly buried his face into Gu Chen’s shoulder, secretly moving his hand directly over Gu Chen’s lower back as he continued his loud act, "You have to take revenge for me, Big Brother! You have to beat the shit out of them for disrespecting me and our family!"
Gu Chen’s face dropped for a split second, looking utterly disgusted that this crippled trash was even touching his expensive robes in front of thousands of people, and he shoved his hands against Gu Fan’s chest to gently but firmly push him away.
"Yes, yes, do not worry, Little Brother, I will certainly see about that," Gu Chen agreed reluctantly through gritted teeth, trying to maintain his perfect, righteous image in front of the scouting sect elders.
Gu Fan stumbled backward from the push and wiped a fake tear from his eye, but internally he was laughing like an absolute maniac as he watched Gu Chen confidently leap high into the air and land heavily on the blood-stone tiles of Stage Three.
"Since you three seemed to have enjoyed yourselves so thoroughly without me, I will personally take care of all of you right now," Gu Chen tried to ignore Gu Fan as he declared pointing his sword at Song Tianyu and the masked man before he shifted his gaze to Bai Bing with a highly cheeky smirk, "And I will make sure to take special care of you, Ice Fairy, because I fully intend to fill stay behind you until you are completely exhausted and panting on your knees."
"You! Scum!" Bai Bing’s face turned beet red with anger as she channelled her Nirvana Phoenix Fire into her sword, creating a massive, roaring wave of crimson flames that she viciously slashed directly at Gu Chen’s smug face.
"You really think you can beat me when you are already half-dead?!" Gu Chen smirked as he let his Spiritual Qi erupt around him and let his sword ignite with a blinding, golden light.
As he watched the crimson flames swirl towards him, Gu Chen casually swung his blade, violently tearing completely through Bai Bing’s incoming fire wave with absolute ease before he explosively dashed forward, aiming a lethal, highly precise thrust directly at her right shoulder. He wanted her down, not kill her.
But before he could reach her, Song Tianyu instantly intervened, snapping his silver fan open and unleashing a massive, highly compressed tornado of razor-sharp wind blades that crashed into Gu Chen’s flank, forcing the Golden Boy to forcefully abort his attack and twist his body mid-air to parry the tearing wind.
Sensing the opening, the masked cultivator didn’t waste it as he stomped the ground and launched himself forward like a dark cannonball, wrapping his fists in dense, pitch-black Qi as he ruthlessly threw a brutal, bone-crushing punch directly at Gu Chen’s exposed ribs.
Gu Chen quickly brought his left arm down to block, and the heavy, sickening impact sent a violent shockwave rippling across the stage, pushing Gu Chen sliding backward across the stone tiles as he gritted his teeth when he felt the pain rush through his veins.
"Oh! You are good!" Gu Chen smirked as she stood up straight and raised his sword all the way over his head,
"Golden Dragon Ascend!" Gu Chen yelled and from over his head, dozens of blinding, razor-sharp golden sword beams viciously bombarded all three of those in front of him simultaneously.
The masked man crossed his arms another ’X’ and let his dense black aura cover him to tank the golden strikes, while Song Tianyu and Bai Bing aggressively dodged and weaved through the blinding barrage, violently combining their wind and fire elements again to launch a massive, screeching phoenix of roaring flames directly at Gu Chen’s chest.
"Ice Fairy, you are playing with fire?!" Gu Chen sneered arrogantly as he aggressively gripped his sword with both hands, channelling every single drop of his Origin Realm Qi into the blade as he prepared to split the fiery bird completely in half.
He bent his knees and forcefully kicked off the ground, launching his body directly into the massive, screeching firebird.
Without an iota of fear, he slashed his sword right through the center of the flames to violently split the bird in half, but the concentrated heat of Bai Bing’s Nirvana Phoenix Fire engulfing him and penetrating through his Qi defenses.
The searing flames wrapped around his arms and chest, scorching it and burning right through his expensive white robes to charr his flesh with blistering wounds.
"Not enough!" Gu Chen gritted his teeth as a sharp gasp of pain escaped his lips, but he forced himself to completely ignore the agonizing burns.
Using his momentum to burst forward out of the flames toward Bai Bing.
But suddenly, while aggressively dashing right towards the beautiful Ice Fairy, Gu Chen’s arrogant face completely changed at the absolute last second. freewebnσvel.cѳm
He felt something...
And his eyes widened in absolute horror as a sudden, highly unnatural sensation violently erupted from his lower abdomen, completely paralyzing his meridians and sending his brain into an absolute state of panic.
Instinctively he tried to stop his forward charge, but the sheer, aggressive momentum of his dash made his boots slip across the stone tiles as he skidded uncontrollably toward Bai Bing.
His hands suddenly felt as if they lost all of their strength, causing his sword to drop loudly onto the stone floor, and his butt cheeks violently clenched together as hard as physically possible while an incredibly desperate, and utterly pathetic expression completely took over his face.
By the time he finally managed to forcefully stop his sliding body, he was just a foot or two away from Bai Bing.
He stood in front of her completely frozen in place as he stood there awkwardly with his knees clamped tightly together and his face turning pale green, completely unable to move a single muscle.
"Miss Bai" Gu Chen managed to say through a forced smile on his face.
BAAM!
