Chapter 475 - 475 Goodbye, Elder Yun!
Compared to the previous eight Fist Shadows, the ninth Fist Shadow seemed a little illusionary and transparent. It was not even completely formed, but the power it emitted was something that the previous eight Fist Shadows could not reach even if they were superimposed.
“I didn’t expect the Zhan Clan Master to have already cultivated this Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist to the ninth level. With this level of power, it can practically be said to be able to destroy the heaven and earth!”
“In the face of this attack, Gu Xi is most likely going to die here.”
“It’s already unbelievable that such a young kid could force Zhan Wushuang to fight so seriously. Even if this kid dies, his name will be remembered for eternity!”
“It’s a pity. Such a genius is going to die young here…”
Looking at the ninth Fist Shadow above, the crowd could not help but burst into a burst of sighs, and many people felt sorry for Gu Xi.
They knew that if Gu Xi was allowed to grow up steadily, with his immense talent, he would definitely become the leader of the entire Eastern Continent’s cultivators in the future. He might even become a legend of his generation. However, the chances of survival were slim in this situation.
Tong Shan and Tang Conglin’s mood had hit rock bottom. They wanted to protect Gu Xi, but they were not strong enough.
On the other side, a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Zhan Wushuang’s mouth. His face was already turning pale and green. After releasing the ninth Fist Shadow, his aura started to become more and more chaotic.
“I haven’t fully comprehended the ninth Fist Shadow yet, but I think that with your cultivation realm, your earlier move has put you on the verge of death. You’re a genius made by heaven, and using this move of mine to end your life is a sign of my respect for you.”
Zhan Wushuang’s body trembled slightly. He forcefully swallowed the blood that was surging up his throat and tried his best to control the Fist Shadow above him so that it would not go out of control.
“Then I really have to thank the Zhan Clan Master for the honor.” Gu Xi forced a smile. At the same time, a mysterious fluctuation that was hard to detect gushed out of his body. In the blink of an eye, it spread out and covered the huge Fist Shadow in the sky.
[Ding! Spirit skill Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist detected!]
[A total of 96741 flaws detected!]
[Would you like to extract?]
“Extract,” Gu Xi said softly.
[Instruction received! Extraction in progress!]
The System quickly gave an answer.
Zhan Wushuang was right. Gu Xi was indeed on the verge of death. After laying out two heaven-grade spirit arrays, he had almost used up all of his spiritual energy. Now that he was facing Zhan Wushuang’s ninth Fist Shadow, his only chance was to use the System to analyze the flaws of the ninth Fist Shadow and break it with the least cost.
And if he failed, he would undoubtedly face death!
“It’s time to end this.”
Looking at Gu Xi, who did not react at all, Zhan Wushuang revealed a vicious smile. He pressed his hand down in the air, and the huge Fist Shadow above him fell down.
[Extraction progress 50%… 56%… 61%…]
The System’s notifications rang out one after another, and each time it rang, it meant that Gu Xi’s chances of survival had increased, but it also meant that the Fist Shadow above was getting closer.
Gu Xi took a deep breath as he looked at the rapidly approaching Fist Shadow. He then slowly closed his eyes. The ear-piercing sound of wind breaking rang in his ears, and a terrifying wave rushed towards his position. However, he no longer cared about these things. The cold and heartless voice of the System kept echoing in his mind.
[75%… 79%… 83%…]
Gu Xi stood quietly on the spot and even spread out his hands, waiting for the final result. He was waiting for the final result of his life or death.
He could feel the Fist Shadow approaching, and the whistling spiritual power was piercing his skin. He knew that with the System’s current extraction speed, he was definitely not going to make it in time.
He even wondered if there would be an autonomous defense mechanism in the System.
If there was, he might be able to survive after this blow, but what about the next one? How could he leave this place when he was already at the end of his rope? One must know that Zhan Wushuang was not the only one who wanted to kill him.
No matter from which direction one looked at it, it seemed like they would definitely die today!
Gu Xi’s mind was filled with wild thoughts. Through the contract with Little Nine, he could clearly feel that Little Nine was starting to reveal her true form. But with Little Nine’s current state of serious injury, even if she revealed her true form of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, could they really withstand Zhan Wushuang’s last all-out attack?
This possibility could be said to be very small, and even Little Nine could die under this attack. Even if Little Nine was lucky enough to escape this disaster, the moment she revealed her true form in front of so many people, her fate was already doomed.
“If it ends like this, I’m really not willing!” Gu Xi muttered, feeling a little lonely.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation.
Little Nine’s display of her true form was forcefully interrupted. That familiar fluctuation seemed to have passed through space and arrived here at an unparalleled speed.
Gu Xi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and his sunken heart was lifted up again. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two figures who had appeared in front of him. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It was a man and a woman, one old and one young.
The old man’s hair was white, and his body was slightly hunched. The woman had a slim figure, and she was wearing a snow-white dress, which carried a faint fragrance.
“Since this old master has promised to protect you, I naturally won’t let anything happen to you while I live.”
The two of them turned back to look at Gu Xi, and Yun Zhiyi stroked his beard and chuckled.
Song Qingluan, who was standing at the side, did not say anything. She just stared at Gu Xi. When she saw the latter’s embarrassed appearance, her eyes were filled with unconcealed care.
“Master, this person is bullying Senior Brother Gu. You must teach him a lesson.”
Song Qingluan spoke softly and walked to Gu Xi’s side. She reached out her hand and a gentle spiritual power poured into Gu Xi, and his expression immediately Gu Xi’s face look better.
“Don’t worry. That guy is just an intermediate stage Great Saint. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Yun Zhiyi nodded confidently and turned around again. At the same time, the huge Fist Shadow above them was already a hundred feet away.
“The power is not bad, but it’s a pity… It seems like the user hasn’t fully comprehended the move yet.”
With a cursory glance, Yun Zhiyi came to a conclusion.
