Stronger by Killing

Chapter 419: Chapter 286: Battle of Destiny (Double-Length Chapter, 12,000 Words) (Part 5)

Yuan Zhixiang furrowed his brows and said, "It’s unpredictable!"

The rain was too heavy,

In an instant, the sound of rain merged into a roaring noise. The sky seemed to crack open with countless fissures, the torrential rain converged into waterfalls, pouring down onto the earth, every drop seemingly as heavy as a thousand pounds, falling onto the great fire on Danyang Mountain, directly consuming the flames.

Within the fusion of water and fire,

Gu Zhan’s body drifted like a leaf, the scenery around him extremely eerie, fire burning, water trembling,

And that sword moved against his chest,

This sword, very ordinary, with no particularly elaborate moves,

This sword, very simple, just a beginner’s thrust,

Yet it embodied the most terrifying killing intent in the world,

Gu Zhan, a dignified Supreme Grandmaster, was unable to avoid it,

He could only keep retreating,

Raindrops scattered,

Dripping onto the sword,

In one moment, the shadow is real, close at hand.

In another moment, the shadow flickers, as if at the edge of the sky.

Qi Baiyu’s blood-red eyes lacked the emotions a human should have, he seemed just like a killing machine, staring fixedly at Gu Zhan, the sword pressed against Gu Zhan’s chest.

Gu Zhan’s figure floated backward,

Even when facing the most terrifying sword in the world, his expression remained calm and unchanged,

At the chest, a faint sense of pain could be felt,

The sword had already pierced through the flesh at the front of the chest.

Under the azure sky, the rain curtain fragmented, scattered raindrops froze in the air and then began to swiftly reorganize,

One particle, two particles, three particles...

Ten particles, a hundred particles, a thousand particles...

Endless, innumerable,

The assembled raindrops formed a gentle stream, wrapping around Qi Baiyu’s sword like a vine.

"Boom!"

In a confused moment, a monstrous wave suddenly appeared,

It was the pouring rain from the heavens formed in an instant, like a great river, a river rushing across the sky, pulling along the stream,

Between heaven and earth, seemingly noisy, yet also very quiet,

Because at that moment,

The entire human world had only one sound,

That was the roar of the surging river’s waves,

A river like a dragon coiling in the sky, pulling at that sword,

At that moment,

Gu Zhan’s body and the sword parted,

An inch, two inches,

By the third inch,

Gu Zhan raised his hand, the iron lump in his hand scraped against the sword’s surface, a string of terrifying sparks exploded in the pouring rain,

Block,

Metal clashing explosively, like thunder in winter,

Turbulence, sparks, surging,

Gu Zhan halted his movement, his eyes cold and stern, his feet stepping onto the scorching stone slabs, directly crushing them into powder, his foot deeply sinking into the ground, still continuously retreating, a pile of thick soil and lime forming at his heel,

Slash!

The moment his movement stopped,

Gu Zhan also used the first form every beginner Swordsman must learn,

Chopping strike!

In that instant,

The sword and the knife reunited, the two iron lumps sparked terrifyingly.

The blade and the sword crossed horizontal between them,

Gu Zhan and Qi Baiyu locked eyes, then simultaneously withdrew their weapons, stepped back half a pace, and then at the same time executed the simplest move,

One swung the sword, one swung the knife,

In the most brutal posture, they smashed towards each other,

"Boom"

Metal clashed, the sound like a tsunami, shocking and horrifying, like the beat of heavenly drums, dull and startling. It immediately created waves sky-high, shattered peaks, countless boulders rolling down the mountain top.

In the terrifying airflow, Gu Zhan swiftly swung his leg, sweeping away like waves, with a "bang," his foot collided with Qi Baiyu’s knee,

"Bang"

A crisp sound, Qi Baiyu’s leg directly exploded, and in that instant, the whole person turned into a stone.

Qi Baiyu disappeared once again.

The next moment,

A sword suddenly appeared above Gu Zhan’s head, Qi Baiyu enveloped in surging Demonic Qi, the hammer of a sword slashed down, the world plunged into Chaos, the torrential rain crazily pouring down,

This sword struck Gu Zhan’s head.

"Splatter"

However, at that very moment,

Gu Zhan instantly turned into a puddle of water, exploding and splattering everywhere.

In Qi Baiyu’s emotionless blood-colored eyes, a rare hint of human confusion appeared, then, in the next instant, his body shook,

A terrifying pressure descended,

Instantly binding him,

The rainwater between heaven and earth at that moment seemed to turn to ice, solidifying, even the moisture so hard and stable.

Qi Baiyu looked up,

The night brightened, lightning flickering.

Tornadoes descended from the clouds, stirring heaven and earth, lightning flashed within the water spouts, the sound echoing in the sky, water dragons traversing heaven and earth, roaring as they came.

Thunder mixed with the water columns, almost in the blink of an eye, they simultaneously struck the ruins of Danyang Sect’s mountain gate, a dozen purple dragon-like lightning roared down, instantly exploding into a dozen large holes, terrifying rain swirled, thunder roared, began to merge together, directly converging around Qi Baiyu,

Gu Zhan stood upon the thunder, like a Celestial God.

Qi Baiyu’s face actually showed a trace of a smile, appearing very ferocious, he didn’t make any attempt to dodge, and of course, couldn’t dodge, the oppressive heavy water of the Water Manipulation Skill had already locked him,

Thus, he crazily swung the iron lump to strike a purple lightning pillar, upon touch, the ground shook and Danyang Mountain surged with chaotic net-like flames, brilliant light engulfing the mountain top.
