98: Chapter 97 Zhu Kun vs. Gu Yuan

Gu Yuan hurried over with Gu Lie and the three immortals of the ancient clan. His Fighting Qi surged faintly around him, and his expression carried a hint of vigilance.

This was already the strongest lineup of the Ancient Clan.

Gu Yuan was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, Gu Lie was an Eight Star Dou Sheng, and the three immortals of the ancient clan were all Seven-Star Dou Sheng. Together, the five of them were enough to crush any other power on the Fighting Qi Continent besides the Hun Clan.

Oh, right, now there was also the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

If anyone else dared to trespass into the Ancient World, these five would certainly join forces to kill the intruder on the spot.

Even if Hun Tiandi came, they would still be able to make him pay a heavy price.

But since the intruder this time was Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan had no choice but to swallow his displeasure, no matter how unhappy he felt.

Gu Yuan hurriedly reached out to stop the restless Gu Lie and the three immortals behind him, suppressing his inner unhappiness and forcing a smile onto his face.

He stepped forward to greet Zhu Kun: "Brother Zhu, why didn't you send word before coming here? I have been negligent."

While he appeared cheerful and his tone was very polite, the subtext of his words was clear: he was reminding Zhu Kun that the Ancient World was not a place one could just drop into at will, and that coming uninvited was very rude.

"There is no need for such formalities. I have specially brought gifts to visit you today."

Zhu Kun, unsure if he understood Gu Yuan's words or not, waved his hand. Some Cultivate resources appeared out of thin air before him, all of which were medicinal herbs used for Cultivate.

These resources were not few, but they were certainly not many; they were only enough for a Dou Zun level expert to Cultivate for a period of time.

Zhu Kun was no fool. The reason he had been so generous last time was because of his daughter.

Now, facing an outsider like Gu Yuan, he naturally wouldn't waste too many resources; just a token gesture would suffice.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan also needs to develop now, okay!

Gu Yuan looked at the gifts before him and was clearly stunned for a moment.

He had previously harbored secret expectations that since Zhu Kun was visiting, he would at least bring something good. He hadn't expected that it would just be these ordinary Dou Zun-level resources.

However, he did not show any disappointment on his face. He cupped his hands at Zhu Kun and remained polite: "Many thanks for your generous gift, Brother Zhu. Please, come inside, let us go to the main hall to talk in detail."

As he spoke, he wanted to lead Zhu Kun toward the Ancient Clan's main hall.

But Zhu Kun waved his hand and refused: "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, to tell you the truth, I have come today to spar with you."

Mentioning the spar, he was reminded of Hun Tiandi, and his tone instantly became angry:

"That guy Hun Tiandi, he spoke so nicely before, saying he welcomed me to visit the Soul Realm, but in the end, he moved the Soul Realm without a sound! When I find him one day, I will definitely ask him what he meant by that!"

During the wedding, he had seen that Hun Tiandi spoke quite nicely on the surface; he hadn't expected him to be such a person.

Zhu Kun had already made up his mind that as soon as he found the new location of the Soul Realm, he would definitely have a good talk with Hun Tiandi.

Gu Yuan stood to the side, secretly grumbling in his heart: You barge into someone else's territory without saying hello like this; whoever it was, would they really welcome you?

Hun Tiandi moving the Soul Realm was probably just to avoid a nuisance like you.

At the same time, he was also somewhat surprised by Hun Tiandi's actions in moving the clan.

The Soul Realm was massive in size, and moving it was by no means an easy task. Hun Tiandi had actually been able to do it so covertly and so quickly.

His movements were truly fast, dumping this living ancestor on him!

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, last time with Hun Tiandi around, you couldn't unleash your full strength. Now that we are in the Ancient World, it is your territory, so you don't need to have any concerns. Let us have a battle."

Zhu Kun was full of Battle Intent.

He did not take Gu Lie and the three immortals of the ancient clan beside Gu Yuan seriously at all. Even if these four joined forces with Gu Yuan to besiege him, he would not be afraid in the slightest.

If they dared to do so, he would definitely make them experience his rogue fighting style.

Before he had been trapped in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode, the strongest power on the Fighting Qi Continent had been the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Why?

I won't go into details, but in short, it had everything to do with this rogue fighting style...

Facing Zhu Kun's initiative to fight, Gu Yuan was in a difficult position and wanted to decline again:

"Brother Zhu, I am truly sorry, but it is really not convenient for me to spar with anyone right now. There are still many matters within the clan that I need to handle."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's brows instantly furrowed, and an expression of anger appeared on his face:

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, last time at the Ling Clan, you clearly said that when you had time, you could accompany me for a spar. Are you playing me for a fool?"

As soon as the words fell, the aura on his body surged again, and the pressure of a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage came crashing down, making Gu Lie and the three immortals of the ancient clan present find it hard to breathe.

Gu Yuan secretly lamented: That was just polite talk! Can't you even tell the difference between polite social pleasantries?

Zhu Kun did not care about any polite talk. In his eyes, Gu Yuan was younger than him and counted as a junior; for him to dare to lie to him, it was truly dishonest.

Gu Yuan looked at the signs that Zhu Kun was about to go berserk and knew he could no longer refuse. If he pushed any further, it would likely trigger a war between the two clans.

Helplessly, he could only nod and agree to the fight: "Fine, since Brother Zhu insists on a spar, then I will accompany Brother Zhu in a battle."

Gu Yuan felt secretly aggrieved: Clearly, I am in the same Realm as him, and this is my home turf, so why do I feel like the one being forced to fight, and why do I feel so aggrieved?

Complaining was one thing, but Gu Yuan still led Zhu Kun and flew toward the Void Realm outside the Ancient World.

A battle between Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage experts had immense power; even the aftershocks of the battle could easily shake a low-star Dou Sheng to death.

If they sparred within the Ancient World, it would inevitably destroy the Ancient Clan's buildings and might even harm the clan members, so they had to go to the Void Realm.

Gu Lie and the three immortals of the ancient clan also followed, but they only dared to stop at a very, very far distance, watching from afar.

With their strength, although they would not be shaken to death by the battle aftershocks, if they were close, they would inevitably be affected by the aftermath, and it was possible they would suffer serious injuries.

They did not want to suffer such unprovoked disaster for no reason, so they could only watch the battle from afar.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xian spoke softly, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty: "The Clan Chief should be able to win, right?"

The other three looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.

Although they all knew that their Clan Chief was one of the top experts on the continent, Gu Yuan's previous behavior of repeatedly avoiding fights still left them feeling unsure, and they dared not easily assert who would win or lose.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun started fighting.

The battle between the two top experts thus began.

The battle between the two was simply earth-shattering.

A casual strike would produce a huge energy shockwave when the Fighting Qi collided. Such an attack was enough to easily kill a Seven-Star Dou Sheng expert in seconds; even an Eight Star Dou Sheng would have to avoid its sharpness.

Both of them were Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage, and their Soul were both at the Emperor Realm; their strength was on the same level.

Therefore, looking solely at attack intensity, the two were evenly matched. Every collision could shake the Void Realm, and the aftershocks would spread for tens of thousands of feet.

But a battle was never just about comparing attack intensity and Soul Power; Physical Body and fighting style were also keys to determining victory or defeat.
