At this moment, Guo Chen resembled a god of war enshrouded in blood. When he opened his bloodshot eyes, people nearby felt an indistinct sense of palpitation.
Most crucially, Guo Chen’s aura faintly surpassed the peak of the Postnatal realm, and even Guo Hongguang’s face broke into a slight smile!
“Your challenge, hide the Guo family, next!”
A hoarse voice slowly spread out. Xiao Yufan’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and his eyes turned somewhat serious. He always felt that Guo Chen’s transformation was somewhat strange.
As the voice faded, all eyes were drawn to the seat where the Guo family was concealed. Especially Guo Chen, who had stood up, had become the focal point of the entire hall. However, everyone present was filled with doubt—when had the hidden Guo family produced such a terrifyingly powerful young individual?
“When did this guy become so strong…?”
Wang Wei, standing at the base of the stage, naturally noticed Guo Chen as well, and his eyebrows involuntarily knitted together. He himself was no ordinary person, and he could clearly sense the oppressive aura emanating from Guo Chen. The feeling was overwhelming, as if this guy were truly a god of death!
“So this is the one who threatened Father? He looks so despicable, and the aura around him is even more repulsive!”
Yu Xuan’s beautiful eyes swept over Guo Chen, without bothering to hide her disgusted expression. Indeed, that figure almost shrouded in blood was truly someone who could hardly inspire any sense of liking…
Wang Wei didn’t say anything else. Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened to Guo Chen, how could the young master possibly be defeated so easily? Moreover, those hidden experts within the Guo family weren’t even qualified to make the young master step back.
Beneath his calm gaze, a faint, unusual coldness flickered in his eyes. How could Xiao Yufan not sense the extremely terrifying aura emanating from Guo Chen? Yet even so, what could he do? He was determined to deliver a resounding slap to the concealed Guo family during the Ancient Martial Arts Conference.
Not only Guo Chen, but also that old dog and Guo Junyu, must pay the price, and he wouldn’t mind unleashing a wave of slaughter!
As Guo Chen gradually stepped onto the high platform, his aura steadily intensified. Xiao Yufan could even sense the violent, murderous qi emanating from Guo Chen, like a hidden beast lurking in wait for its prey. But the real question was—who would ultimately be the prey?
Ye Kong seemed to sense a whiff of danger. He slowly opened his eyes and looked toward Guo Chen’s location. From beginning to end, he had never truly regarded this guy as a threat, so why had he suddenly become so powerful? Moreover, the blood-colored aura around him was indeed… repulsive!
On a normal day, Ye Kong would definitely go up and confront this guy, but right now, he seemed to have no reason at all to take any action!
“I hope you won’t let me down. I’ve already touched the threshold of the Half-Step Innate Realm. Perhaps we’ll have another chance to cross swords. It would be quite dull if you were defeated by the hidden Guo family!”
Muttering softly, Ye Kong closed his eyes once again. After his intense battle with Xiao Yufan at their peak, his cultivation had reached a breakthrough. The threshold of the late-stage Foundation Building realm no longer constrained him. He believed that soon he would truly have the qualification to contend for the Core Formation realm!
And the half-step to the innate realm is just a hair’s breadth away!
Even though Guo Chen exuded a powerful aura, Ye Kong knew that Xiao Yufan wouldn’t lose easily. He clearly remembered the words they had exchanged through secret voice transmission when he was thrown out…
How much of your actual strength did you use?
Eighty percent, maybe!
Eighty percent of his strength led to his defeat. A faint bitter smile flickered across Ye Kong’s lips. Even when facing him, Xiao Yufan had still been holding back. Perhaps from beginning to end, no one had truly fathomed his depth, so this man would not lose easily.
“Today, I will make you leave this place on your knees like a dog…”
Facing his enemy who was now within arm’s reach, Guo Chen’s lips twitched violently. The blood-red halo around him also trembled incessantly. He had sacrificed so much, all for the purpose of returning to Xiao Yufan, in full measure, the pain inflicted upon him. And now, this was the opportunity!
“Back then, I could make you run like a homeless dog. Now, I can do the same!”
Xiao Yufan glanced at Guo Chen with a look reserved for an idiot. This guy’s cultivation was indeed impressive, but he was still just a rabid dog, biting everywhere he went!
“Hehe, is that so? I believe you will be disappointed, and the cost of that disappointment will be great!”
The anger in his eyes made Guo Chen’s entire face look somewhat distorted. He didn’t care about the rules of the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, nor would he worry about the Heaven Alliance behind Xiao Yufan. If he had the chance to kill this person, he wouldn’t hold back in the slightest.
Blood must be repaid with blood. His arm had nearly been crippled by Xiao Yufan; how could he possibly not be furious? If it weren’t for that guy, how could he have ended up in such a pitiful state…
The emotional tones of their voices reached everyone’s ears. Although they had previously known about Xiao Yufan’s conflict with the hidden Guo family, they never expected this feud to have escalated to such a deadly level. It seemed this confrontation would turn into a life-or-death battle.
A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Yufan quietly looked at Guo Chen, seemingly unimpressed by the threat. Even though his cultivation had become much stronger, his mentality was still fragile and easily broken!
This smile thoroughly triggered Guo Chen’s sensitive nerves. The fierce expression on his face suddenly froze, and blood-colored energy began swirling around him. In an instant, his imposing presence erupted…
Under this overwhelming pressure, even those seated close to the stands felt an intense sense of oppression—no exception for the younger generation of Houtian realm experts. The sheer force of his unleashed aura alone was terrifying to such an extent.
Even Old Master Situ’s expression subtly shifted. The aura emanating from this young man of the Guo family indeed gave off an extremely peculiar sensation—it felt as though he had undergone the baptism of life and death…
Although there was an unwritten rule in the Ancient Martial Arts Conference that participants must not take lives during the competition, judging from the intense confrontation between the two, how could they possibly hold back?
Xiao Yufan’s disdainful expression gradually faded as well. Guo Chen’s current strength was indeed formidable, surpassing even that of Ye Kong and Luo Tiangong. Without sufficient power, would he dare to step forward?
But since Guo Chen had stepped forward, Xiao Yufan naturally intended to deliver a resounding slap to the Guo family, skillfully concealing his true strength. The mighty aura around him surged forth once again, fiercely pressing down upon Guo Chen…
Even if this guy is extremely powerful, he still can’t change his fate. What makes him think he can get away with it? Is it merely because he has reached the realm of half a step into innate cultivation?
If that’s the case, it’s still not enough!
