Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 427: Desperate
In the Soul-Devouring Sect, on top of the sect's mountain, Gu Xiaoxing stood with his hands behind his back, while Xu Qianxing stood beside him, tall and graceful.
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue bowed their heads and knelt, extremely respectful.
"Get up." said Gu Xiaoxing.
"yes!"
The two disciples stood up and looked at their master, with excitement in their eyes that could not be concealed. At the same time, they also had an inexplicable feeling.
If the Master a year ago was only a person of great cultivation strength in their eyes, then at this moment, the Master was even more unfathomable in their eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing also looked at the two of them and said, "During the year when your master was away, have you two slacked off in your cultivation?"
The two bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Master, we disciples have never been lazy!"
The two of them had indeed never slacked off. Although they were still only in the late Jindan stage, their strength was already able to compete with those in the great perfection of Jindan.
You know, the two of them were only Qi Condensation cultivators twelve years ago. They were able to advance from Qi Condensation to the late Jindan stage in just twelve years. This talent is already extremely amazing.
Even for Gu Xiaoxing, it took him twenty-one years to reach his current level. Only he himself knew how many adventures and opportunities he had encountered, and how many painful hardships he had endured.
In contrast, although Du Xu and Gu Nianxue have Gu Xiaoxing as their master and have never had to worry about resources for cultivation, they have never encountered any real great fortune.
However, the fact that they can proceed smoothly on the path of cultivation and move forward step by step without any bottlenecks is enough to show their talents.
Even if many people have these cultivation resources, they will always encounter bottlenecks and it is impossible for their cultivation to improve so quickly.
For example...
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but look at Xu Qianxing beside her. Her cultivation level had not changed and she was still in the middle stage of Jindan.
Xu Qianxing blinked and cast a puzzled look, as if he didn't understand why Gu Xiaoxing suddenly looked at him like that.
Seeing her like that, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't bear to say anything to her. Instead, an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
Back then, Xu Qianxing was a genius who could rival the Little Wild Goddess Qiao Yanran, but everything changed from the moment he developed feelings for Gu Xiaoxing.
Sometimes even Gu Xiaoxing herself didn't know whether all this was good or bad. Xu Qianxing had indeed changed because of Gu Xiaoxing and had completely become like her.
But from that moment on, she was no longer a so-called genius.
In twelve years, she only advanced from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan.
Under normal circumstances, it would take her many years to break through to the late Jindan stage.
According to this situation, perhaps Xu Qianxing will never be able to become a Nascent Soul in his entire life.
But Gu Xiaoxing would never allow this to happen. The deadline for forming a golden core is only a thousand years of life, how could that be enough?
It’s not enough!
Xu Qianxing was stunned. Seeing Gu Xiaoxing's unwavering look again, his heart started pounding and he became inexplicably nervous.
She found that Xiaoxing seemed different after not seeing him for a year, but she couldn't tell what was different. She just felt that he was becoming more and more irresistible to her.
It was not until Gu Xiaoxing looked away that Xu Qianxing reacted with a slightly blushing face. Just now, he seemed to be... infatuated.
Thinking of this, her face turned even redder.
Gu Xiaoxing had already turned his attention to his two disciples and said, "Since you have not slacked off, let me see the results of your practice."
As soon as he finished speaking, his ancient spiritual force field naturally spread out, completely covering the people around him, and then he took a step forward.
Suddenly, the scenery around them changed instantly. When it became clear again, they found that they were already standing high in the sky.
Xu Qianxing was fine, after all, he had just experienced this feeling.
But for Du Xu and Gu Nianxue, this feeling was too shocking!
Moreover, the two of them also recognized where this place suddenly appeared was!
This place was located in a deep valley approximately 90,000 miles away from the Soul Devouring Sect. In other words, the master led them across 90,000 miles in one step? !
Suddenly, an even stronger shock came over them, and both of them looked at their master in shock.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled slightly and said, "Come on, let me see how much progress you have made."
After Xu Qianxing heard this, Mo Mo stepped back a little.
Gu Nianxue and Du Xu looked at each other, then both saluted and said, "In that case, Master, I'm sorry!"
The moment the words fell, the two of them moved at the same time!
The two men suddenly burst into power. Gu Nianxue summoned a long sword of ice and snow, and in an instant, he slashed with the sword, which was cold and sharp, and hit the master's face.
Seven spots of light appeared on Du Xu's body, and in a flash, he suddenly appeared behind his master.
Seven-pointed Star Movement!
Then he clenched his fist and punched down. Although it was clearly a pair of bare fists, it made a sound like a dragon's roar.
Gu Xiaoxing raised his eyebrows, finding it interesting. He could see that the two of them had great tacit understanding and could form a pincer attack in a blink of an eye. They must have practiced and fought together a lot.
Even though Gu Nianxue and Du Xu were only in the late Jindan stage, they would probably suffer great losses facing such a sudden siege even if they were in the great perfection of Jindan.
But what was in front of them at this moment was not a Jindan, but a Yuanying, and moreover, it was an ancient spirit, an ancient spirit at the level of the Five Infants!
Gu Xiaoxing slowly stretched out his hands, one in front and one behind, one finger pointing at the tip of the sword and the other at Longyin's flesh fist.
The next moment, Gu Nianxue and Du Xu both widened their eyes in shock.
The ice and snow sword in Gu Nianxue's hand was just a top-grade magic weapon. The moment it touched Gu Xiaoxing's fingers, it began to break into pieces from the tip of the sword.
Suddenly, she was horrified and stepped back quickly.
As for Du Xu, in his eyes, that point seemed not to be a finger, but a mountain of fingers, which made him feel unshakable.
Even though Gu Xiaoxing did not use his Fang Cun magical power at this moment, due to the huge gap in their cultivation levels, this finger naturally carried some of the Fang Cun meaning, and in Du Xu's eyes, it was like a vast mountain descending.
In comparison, his bare fists were like the howling insects at the foot of the mountain.
But it was an unyielding cry. Du Xu's eyes fixed with determination in them. He did not retreat because his momentum was suppressed. While the dragon roared softly, he still swung his fists to hit the incoming finger.
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded, Gu Xiaoxing stood still, while Du Xu was pointed at and flew backwards.
"Change!"
While flying backwards, Du Xu gritted his teeth, opened his mouth suddenly, and shook his body. He turned into a white dragon, soaring into the sky. When he opened his mouth, hot dragon breath spewed out.
On the other side, Gu Nianxue clasped his hands together, and ice and snow gathered, and the sound of a dragon's roar was also heard. Finally, nine giant ice and snow dragons appeared, and at the same time, they spit out nine ice and snow dragon breaths, and once again cooperated with Du Xu.
Facing ten powerful dragon breaths, Gu Xiaoxing did not dodge or evade, allowing them to hit him. Even if the ice and snow were cut and the flames were burning, they could not hurt him at all.
"go!"
With a delicate cry, nine ice dragons swung their tails at the same time and rushed straight towards Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing still did not dodge, just stood there quietly. The next moment, nine dragons arrived together, and a strong impact accompanied by an extreme chill came.
The Nine Dragons shattered in an instant, but the broken ice and snow did not explode. Instead, under the extreme coldness, they condensed into a layer of black ice, which completely froze Gu Xiaoxing inside.
Another dragon roar shook the sky. Du Xulong, who was not far away, spun around, as if he had turned into a sharp whirlwind. With an unstoppable momentum, he rushed straight towards Gu Xiaoxing.
It seemed as if it was going to drill a big hole in the frozen ice and the people inside.
But the dragon had not arrived yet. Gu Xiaoxing gently raised his hand, and the black ice shattered immediately. He pointed again and pointed at the sharp whirlwind that Du Xu Youlong had transformed into.
I have to say that Du Xu's attack was really powerful, and it could even make Gu Xiaoxing feel a slight numbness on his fingertips.
Although Gu Xiaoxing did not use any skills or magic, he only relied on his physical strength to resist Du Xu's attack.
But after undergoing the transformations of the Suzaku True Flame time and time again, Gu Xiaoxing's body has become so strong that Du Xu should be proud of being able to achieve this with his Jindan cultivation.
This shows that Du Xu’s physical body is also extremely strong!
It would not be possible to do this otherwise.
With this finger, the whirlwind stopped suddenly, and the dragon body appeared. Then with a muffled groan, Du Xu was directly beaten back to his original form.
"Enough, come here." Gu Xiaoxing stopped them, having already roughly judged their strength.
The two of them flew to Gu Xiaoxing somewhat frustratedly, bowed their heads, and said guiltily: "Master, I'm sorry!"
Gu Xiaoxing was immediately annoyed when he saw their disappointed looks. He slapped each of them on the head and said, "Why? Do you think you can only be worthy of your master if you can beat him?"
"No, no!" Gu Nianxue hurriedly shook her head, "It's because I feel... that I have failed the cultivation of my master."
Du Xu stood silently beside Gu Nianxue. Although he didn't say anything, he had the same idea.
The master is becoming more and more powerful, but the two disciples seem to be standing still.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at them and said, "I'll give you two a mission. The nameless valley below looks like a place where monsters live, but in fact, there is a demon sect's lair stationed in it."
"There are nearly a thousand children testing drugs inside. Go and rescue them. As for the people from the Demon Sect, don't leave any of them alive!"
Du Xu, Gu Nianxue were shocked when they heard this. They naturally would not question their master's words, but they had never thought that such a crazy demon sect was hidden so close to the Soul-Devouring Sect.
And their Soul-Devouring Sect was completely unaware of this, which was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on their part.
"Don't blame yourself. I have been the sect master for ten years and I have never noticed anything. Go ahead and don't be careless. This is a tough battle and a true test of your practice results."
"If you are defeated, you can call on me to save you, but I hope that there will be no such opportunity. I, your master, will not protect you forever."
The two of them were startled and bowed deeply to their master, then a strong murderous intent rose in their eyes. This evil sect was testing drugs on children, it was so cruel and insane, they should be eliminated!
