Chapter 454: Chapter 309 ’Peace Token’ Invincible in the World! ’Golden Stick’ Thrashes Witch! [Vote for Monthly Pass!]_2
The Emperor Yan held up the Treasure Mirror and cast it downwards—
Instantly, regardless of rocks, sand, or soil, they all turned illusory. In the faint traces of auras flowing, everything converged towards the ’No-Battle Token’ on the Hai Character Arena.
"So that’s how it is!"
Seeing this, the Divine Monk Ming Chan realized: "It seems this ’No-Battle Token’ indeed inherits from ancient lines. Though it can’t absorb human blood qi, neither can it tap into the Heavenly Mechanism Qi Fortune, but the Earth Vein Earth Qi behind it can act as a support."
"Seven days!"
"It can maintain for a maximum of seven days."
The Emperor Yan smiled and put away the Treasure Mirror.
He discerned the essence of the ’No-Battle Token’, saw its rate of absorbing ’Earth Vein Earth Qi’, its range, and other limits, estimating roughly what it could achieve.
No battles for seven days.
An incredible exotic treasure indeed, used in such a setting and tournament format as the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, it’s a perfect match.
But ultimately, it wouldn’t last.
After this use, the earth qi impact would dim the exotic treasure, making it difficult to use again.
Seven plus nine!
The day the ’No-Battle Token’ expires will only be the sixteenth day of the Sword Discussion Tournament.
The days ahead are still long.
It’s not a big deal.
...
Ninth day.
Tenth day.
Eleventh day.
Twelfth day.
...
As time passed day by day, indeed no one could break the ’No-Battle Token’ hanging high on the Hai Character Arena.
Anyone feeling disgruntled and choosing to fight on the Hai Character Arena suffered significant losses, losing at least a stage of cultivation, while the more stubborn ones got utterly diminished!
As soon as the ’No-Battle Token’ came out, it already seemed to be the first treasure of the Sword Discussion!
Avoiding battle!
Invincible in the world!
The ’Hai Character’ arena stood as steady as Taishan.
But the other eleven arenas were intense.
"Stirring the gun like a dragon playing in water, retreating and sweeping the ground makes the earth shake, a left-step thrust catches the enemy’s wrist, a right-hip step entangles and weeds out a snake!"
"Guo Xi is incredible!"
"She originally ranked fifteenth on the ’Chufeng List’, a heavenly pride, and her ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’ is indeed magnificent! Now, it’s unknown what cost she paid to exchange a ’Golden Stick’ from Xin Huan. Using the stick with spear techniques, the ’Eight Mother Pear Blossom Spear’ as the foundation, combined with other ’Azure Dragon Spear’ and ’Ten Great Sticks’ at will, changes are endless, her combat power skyrocketed, able to challenge many at once, overwhelming Wei Lingshan and Shi Mingzhu nearly leaving them defenseless!"
"Wei Lingshan!"
"’Natural Skill’!"
"’Soul Chasing Life Stealing Kick’!"
"’Double Complete Hand’!"
"’Iron Leopard Body Protection Skill’!"
"Cannot do! Cannot do! Even the ’Iron Leopard Body Protection Skill’, one of the ten ultimate techniques of the ’Natural Skill’, acclaimed for defense, can’t protect Wei Lingshan now, who is being brutally beaten by Guo Xi with a stick, nearly breaking the technique!"
"Wei Lingshan!"
"Can she hold the arena?!"
...
The Hai Character Arena, with the ’No-Battle Token’ hanging high, is invincible.
In a few days, Yan Chuan has long since recovered, regaining his usual vigor, once again giving commentary.
Holding the ’White Horn Trumpet’, he was passionately narrating the peak battle on the Zi Character Arena.
On the opposing side—
One is Wei Lingshan’s team, with Wei Lingshan ranked fourth as a ’Chufeng’, Shi Mingzhu ninth as a ’Chufeng’, Zhuo Teng forty-second as a ’Hidden Dragon’, and Gai Songlin ranked one hundred and eighth as a ’Hidden Dragon’!
A five-person team!
Four on the Human List!
This is the defense.
Looking at Guo Xi’s team, only Guo Xi alone is formidable, and logically, even if the members of Wei Lingshan’s team were in decline, it would not be time for Guo Xi to pick up advantages.
However, unexpectedly, after Xin Huan was beaten by Yan Chuan, whether he sold, lent, or gifted is unknown, but that invincible ’Golden Stick’ nonetheless ended up in Guo Xi’s hands.
Guo Xi spent more than half a day refining it, then aggressively used the stick to attack the ’Zi Character’ Arena.
An exotic treasure like the ’Golden Stick’ in the hands of someone like Guo Xi, who is already a master in spear techniques and a peak expert, manifests explosive combat power that is at least ten times more lethal than Xin Huan before!
Guo Xi, alone with the stick, forcefully suppressed the four great Heavenly Prides on the Human List led by Wei Lingshan, among which Wei Lingshan and Shi Mingzhu ranked top ten as ’Chufeng’, with Wei Lingshan recognized as ’Absolute’.
Yet even with such a lineup and strength, they were beaten severely.
"Three slanted door spears chasing the enemy general, sea exploring gun twisting turn hard to defend, coiling silk spear like a flood dragon hitting water, retreating step spear like an entangling venomous snake!"
"Xiao Ti!"
"Step down!"
"Gai Songlin! No matter how excellent your Qinggong is, how ingenious your movement technique is, once all retreat routes are sealed off by Guo Xi with shadowy stick spear techniques, you remain at a loss!"
Yan Chuan seemed as if he had transformed into Guo Xi, battling alongside her.
Three slanted door spears, first defeated Xiao Ti.
A coiling silk spear, ensnared Gai Songlin!
The two top-notch experts on the Human List were easily knocked off the arena by Guo Xi.
Truly marvelous!
Truly passionate!
Truly thrilling!
Unlike Xin Huan, it could be said that rather than Xin Huan controlling the ’Golden Stick’, the ’Golden Stick’ was rather using him, with Xin Huan being more like a tool person; in the battle on the Hai Character Arena, it was almost the ’Golden Stick’ fighting on instinct, even so, able to suppress the joint forces of Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze.
But when faced with Yan Chuan’s ’Gun Breaking Form’, it was far from enough.
Guo Xi, however, is different.
She drives the ’Golden Stick’, integrating her understanding, her spear and staff techniques changing, proactively executing transformations based on her situation, her eye power, and her martial arts accomplishment.
Eighteen families of spear and staff techniques changing and changing!
Though each was only at the Fifth Realm level, not reaching the ’Absolute’ status, the quantity difference compensated for the quality gap, plus the power and solidity of the ’Golden Stick’ itself, forcibly enhancing these staff and spear techniques by half a tier, surpassing the ordinary peak, chasing towards the ’Absolute’ level.
Thus.
Furious! Wild Dance!
Shi Mingzhu was overwhelmed, executing the ’Cloud Rubbing Thirty-Six Strokes’ to the utmost, yet being hunted down by the ’Golden Stick’, perilous at every turn.
And while Guo Xi held the ’Golden Stick’ pursuing Shi Mingzhu, her main focus was on Wei Lingshan.
"Arrow step lifting wrist, catching spear stabbing at a spot, knee raised twisting waist like Taigong Fishing, falling step grabbing cutting, godly ghostly immovable, turn flower strike, catching spear entangling stabbing!"
"The ferocity of the ’Golden Stick’!"
"Paired with Guo Xi’s ’finesse’!"
"The combination of the two, unparalleled in power!"
"Wei Lingshan is in danger!"
Yan Chuan live narrated, following this momentum, in less than dozens of moves, Wei Lingshan and Shi Mingzhu will surely be defeated.
Zi Character Arena!
Twelve full days, finally about to change hands.
"Lift-hand turning, Jade Maiden Shuttle, delicate girl threading needle, mystery unpredictable, horizontal spear under descending, arrow step lifting stabbing, somersault spear landslide breaking ground."
Guo Xi, with a swing of the stick, landslides breaking ground.
"Crack!"
Shi Mingzhu could no longer turn over, hastily using both hands to block the downward strike stick, directly breaking both her arms into two bizarre angles, her entire body uncontrollably flying backward, blood spurting mid-air—
"Puff!"
Blood scattering in the sky!
Crashing to the ground with a thud!
The ninth ’Chufeng’ ’Cloud Overturner’ Shi Mingzhu finally hit a wall.
"Ha!"
Guo Xi, as if a divine general descending to the mortal realm, unstoppable, pursued her victory, a stick raised into a celestial pillar.
"Mounted godly spear coiling step entangling, victory secured with a return horse gun, advancing right catching spear entangling stabbing, coiling spear binding leg central stance!"
A head-on strike judging Wei Lingshan—
Boom boom boom!
Wei Lingshan, having fought a dozen straight days, now encounters a formidable foe, finally unable to support.
Crack crack crack!
’Iron Leopard Body Protection Skill’, accompaning Guo Xi’s stick strike came shattering, an invincible Wei Lingshan now with no backup, the figure flying backward like a rag, the unbeaten defense in facing ’Golden Stick’ completely shattered.
Bang!
Wei Lingshan flew back and fell out of the arena, heavily kneeling on the ground.
"Puff!"
Spitting a mouthful of blood, staining her chest, looking once more at her body, bloodstains scattered all over. She lifted her head, complexion like paper, disheveled hair, indeed at the end of the road.
Ban Xianfu!
Tan Dou!
Ying Jifeng!
They all have been defeated, but no one fell as miserably as Wei Lingshan at this time.
Wei Lingshan’s state alone shows how fierce the battle on the Zi Character Arena has been.
But at this moment, no one cares.
With the myth of Wei Lingshan’s invincibility broken, and no aura remaining, fewer people paid attention after her downfall.
More eyes focused on Guo Xi!
On the Zi Character Arena, Guo Xi holding the ’Golden Stick’, resembling a demon-suppressing lord from the heavens, truly a divine power in the mortal world.
This battle!
Guo Xi shocked the world!
More terrifying—
"Even the absolute Wei Lingshan was hammered, who can suppress Guo Xi holding the ’Golden Stick’?!"
This is another nemesis that’s probably even harder to deal with than Wei Lingshan.
Of course.
Speaking of holdouts.
After Guo Xi uprooted Wei Lingshan, the Zi Character Arena changed owners for the first time, now leaving only two arenas yet to change hands—
"One is the You Character, Situ Fei Team!"
"The second is the Hai Character, Yan Chuan Team!"
