Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 166 Unavoidable

As for Yu Changsheng, he knew this day would come; he and Huang Suyu were bound to clash sooner or later.

He did admit that Huang Suyu was indeed putting a lot of pressure on him, especially now. Whether it was his Foundation Establishment cultivation or his minor mastery of sword intent, Huang Suyu was the strongest opponent Yu Changsheng had ever encountered among his peers.

As for Huang Suyu, he never expected that the kid he once ignored and could have crushed with a single step would now stand before him in such a manner.

But none of that matters. The important thing is to personally settle this grudge.

Meanwhile, the onlookers silently moved further away from the two. Miao Wenlun looked worried and hesitated whether to help Yu Changsheng, but after a look from the latter, he gave up the idea and breathed a sigh of relief.

As fellow disciples of the Beast Taming Peak, they should stand together in times of trouble, as they had agreed before coming here. However, given the current situation, firstly, Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu's feud is clearly personal, and secondly, he felt that if he rashly intervened, the outcome would likely not be good.

Miao Wenlun was unaware of the grudge between Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu. Had he known, he probably wouldn't have so readily agreed to stand together with Yu Changsheng.

The elders outside were already paying close attention to Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu, and they were all somewhat surprised to see the two confronting each other.

"This... I didn't expect Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu to have such a grudge. It seems like they're irreconcilable enemies. Should we stop them?"

Elder Hai hesitated before speaking.

In theory, they wouldn't interfere during the trial, but judging from the situation, it would be a fight to the death between the two. If they were both insignificant disciples, it would be fine, but both of them could be considered exceptionally talented. Losing either of them would be an outcome they didn't want to see.

Elder Li was the first to offer his idea, but he shook his head and said:

"No, as you all have heard, there is an indelible personal feud between Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu. If we rashly intervene, it will only make things worse for both sides, and the hatred will only deepen. It would be better to vent it now and, as they said, settle everything."

"But what if something happens to either of them?"

Yun Hejing looked worried and said through gritted teeth.

Elder Li chuckled, stroking his beard as he said earnestly, "With us here, are you all still worried about casualties? After the battle is decided, we will naturally intervene to prevent either of them from falling."

"Besides, they all have teleportation jade tubes. Wouldn't they teleport out if they sensed something was wrong? Moreover, Huang Suyu is right. Without this battle, his sword heart would be tarnished, and his future path would be limited."

Although Elder Li didn't say it aloud, his words revealed his pessimism about Yu Changsheng's chances in this battle, which was actually the sentiment of most people.

Although Yu Changsheng was amazing, in their minds, he was at most on par with Gu Zhen, and still somewhat inferior to Huang Suyu.

When Huang Suyu revealed his minor mastery of sword intent, the gap between them was magnified infinitely. Elder Li was completely determined to take Huang Suyu as his disciple, so his words were mostly for Huang Suyu's benefit.

Seeing this, Yun Hejing didn't say anything more, but just watched quietly, ready to take immediate action should anything unexpected happen.

All that's left is to silently pray for Yu Changsheng in my heart.

"Don't be stubborn! If there's any danger, immediately crush the jade tube and teleport out..."

Clearly, she didn't think highly of Yu Changsheng's chances in this battle either.

What she didn't know was that someone had secretly tampered with Yu Changsheng's jade tube long ago, and Yu Changsheng had tried to use it, but the teleportation function didn't work at all.

…………

Above the seven thousand steps, the pressure here is already the limit for ordinary disciples. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators feel immense pressure here and cannot stay for long.

However, Yu Changsheng and Huang Suyu were completely unconcerned about this environment. As their sword intent erupted, Huang Suyu took the lead and stepped out. At this moment, his sword intent exploded with earth-shattering force, unstoppable and suppressing all directions, causing the wind and clouds to change color, as if countless heavenly thunders suddenly reverberated here.

Yu Changsheng's expression changed, and with a wave of his hand, the Crimson Serpent, the Colorful Star Deer, and the Golden-Winged Eagle appeared, and he also retreated sharply.

The onlookers were completely unable to react; they were not qualified to see Huang Suyu's speed at that moment. Only Yu Changsheng, relying on his powerful divine sense, suddenly looked up and barely managed to make out Huang Suyu's movements.

However, while one's divine sense can see clearly, the body may not be able to react in time. At this moment, Yu Changsheng could only sense Huang Suyu moving, and just then, the shadow of the Crimson Serpent Beast blocked his way.

Ultimately, since the physical body has just been established, and there is no cultivation level to coordinate with it, it will take some time to adapt before the full power of the established physical body can be unleashed.

Even more deadly was that Xiao Cheng's sword intent was quite effective against Yu Changsheng's divine sense. After only a rough assessment, Yu Changsheng felt a ripple in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a stinging sensation spread through his mind.

Ultimately, having one's own divine sense alone, without corresponding cultivation to use and coordinate with it, is ultimately incomplete.

At this moment, even though Yu Changsheng's blood and cultivation surged and the Crimson Serpent Beast Shadow formed, it was only for a moment. The beast shadow cried out and collapsed directly, and Huang Suyu appeared directly in front of him.

The next instant, an extremely terrifying wave that shattered everything in all directions erupted before his eyes, overwhelming the heavens and earth, and unstoppable.

A deafening roar echoed through the sky. Yu Changsheng was violently shaken, his body swept backward like a kite with a broken string. His face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he had no other injuries.

The surge of qi and blood formed an outer armor, protecting Yu Changsheng from Huang Suyu's probing attack.

Huang Suyu's eyes lit up, and he sneered, "I thought you had something to rely on. Interesting. It turns out you've only achieved Foundation Establishment in the Physical Body. Not bad at all. I'd like to see how long you can hold out."

As he spoke, Huang Suyu moved again, but did not use his sword. It seemed that, for him, dealing with Yu Changsheng was not worthy of his sword.

The Crimson Serpent roared and its body slammed into Huang Suyu. The Golden-Winged Eagle flew low, its wings constantly whipping out wind blades. The Colorful Star Deer also cried out to the sky and stomped heavily towards Huang Suyu.

Huang Suyu frowned, his hands swung down like swords.

The next instant, a purple sword blade appeared in mid-air, annihilating countless wind blades, and slashed fiercely at the golden-winged eagle!

A purple light spread out, the sword light was astonishing, the golden-winged eagle cried out in sorrow, its wings turned to stone at the critical moment, and countless feathers withered away.
