The phantom of the fire phoenix was lifelike, its wings spread wide, obscuring the sun and sky, as if it would burn the entire world to ashes!
“Such powerful momentum!”
Seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Gu Cheng’s eyes.
He could sense that this strike of Luo Hao’s was several times stronger than before!
“But… this is just the perfect opportunity for me to try… my newly-learned technique!”
With that, Gu Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, as he sank his mind into his Dantian.
“Buzz——!”
The "Primordial Qi" in Gu Cheng's Dantian immediately began to churn violently, like boiling water!
【You have grasped the essence of the "Twelve Palms of the Flying Phoenix"... understood the mystery of Yin-Yang interrelation, and created the Yin-Yang Infinite Art!】
As the prompt echoed in his mind once again, Gu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment!
His eyes, respectively, shone with black and white light!
Like the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, mysterious and profound!
“Yin-Yang Infinite Art?!”
A surge of understanding flooded Gu Cheng's heart, and he instantly grasped the essence of this technique.
The Yin-Yang Infinite Art was a supreme technique that fused Yin and Yang energies, capable of offense and defense, hardness and softness, with countless applications.
“Interesting… this art can actually be cultivated by both genders?”
After carefully experiencing the profundity of the "Yin-Yang Infinite Art," Gu Cheng couldn't help but be amazed, thinking to himself:
“It seems I need to find a suitable cultivation partner when the opportunity arises.”
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Cheng’s lips curled slightly upwards.
Then, he raised his head, looked at Luo Hao, and said with a smile:
“Luo Hao, be careful!”
Without hesitation, he formed hand seals, and the Yin and Yang energies in his body surged like great rivers!
“Yin-Yang Infinite, Borrow the Laws of Heaven and Earth!”
Boom——!
Gu Cheng's hands slammed forward!
In an instant!
A terrifying force erupted from Gu Cheng's body!
Black and white, two rays of light, erupted from his palms, transforming into a Yin-Yang fish, charging towards the giant fire phoenix!
…
“Boom——！！！”
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens!
The giant fire phoenix was actually… effortlessly… crushed by Gu Cheng!
After all, this was a technique derived from comprehending the essence of the 'Twelve Palms of the Flying Phoenix' with his "Sky-Defying Insight."
Gu Cheng wasn't surprised by this outcome.
“What?!”
Luo Hao's face changed upon seeing this, her beautiful eyes widened, and a look of astonishment appeared on her delicate face!
She couldn't believe that Gu Cheng's strength was so formidable!
“How is this possible?!”
A wave of turmoil surged in Luo Hao’s heart!
She knew that the "Twelve Palms of the Flying Phoenix" she unleashed was her signature technique!
It was a combination of twelve moves: Phoenix Chick Enters the Door, Phoenix Eye Pierces the Curtain, Phoenix Claw Plucks the Heart, Flying Phoenix Falls, Vermilion Bird Faces the Sun, Golden Phoenix Flashes its Wings, Whirlwind Chain, Mighty Phoenix Thousand Pounds, Phoenix Wings Heaven's Phenomenon, Phoenix Dragon Yin-Yang, Phoenix Pair Flying, and Great Phoenix No Heaven!
It was immensely powerful!
Even other "Slayers" wouldn't dare to receive it head-on!
Yet, Gu Cheng had effortlessly neutralized her attack!
“You… who are you?!”
Luo Hao stared intently at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng just smiled slightly, not answering her question, but instead said calmly:
“Luo Hao, your strength… is just that.”
“Next, it’s my turn!”
Gu Cheng finished speaking and assumed a posture ready to attack again.
“Hmph! Arrogant!”
Hearing this, Luo Hao instantly became furious, coldly snorted:
“Do you think this concubine is afraid of you?!”
With that, she took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and muttered to herself.
In an instant!
The wind and clouds changed, the world transformed!
“One Strength Subdues Ten Strategies, One Strength Suppresses Ten Techniques! One Leg Thousand Jun Force, One Foot Stabilizes Heaven and Earth!”
As Luo Hao’s voice fell, an even more terrifying aura erupted from her body!
Two giant "Kinnara" statues stood tall amidst the white flames!
Luo Hao was using the power she had usurped from the two Buddhist guardian kings — "Mici Kinnara" and "Nareyan Jian Gu Wang" — of the A-hum pair!
“Haaah!”
As Luo Hao let out a shout, the two “Kinnara” statues charged directly at Gu Cheng!
They were like the Kinnara of legends, guardians of the Buddhist realm!
Immensely powerful!
Unstoppable!
Seeing this, Gu Cheng activated his "Psychokinesis" and condensed a barrier in front of him!
“Boom——！！！”
The deafening roar echoed once again!
Two completely different forces collided in mid-air!
The violent energy waves, like a tsunami, swept in all directions!
For a moment, the earth shook, sand flew, and the sun and moon were obscured!
When the dust settled.
Gu Cheng still stood motionless, surrounded by a thin layer of Psychokinesis barrier, with no cracks whatsoever, as if the previous attack never existed.
On the other side.
Luo Hao had already lost her strength, she was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, the wounds on her originally snow-white skin, inflicted by the "Primordial Qi," were even more gruesome.
At this moment, her white Hanfu was in disarray, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, and her delicate collarbone, which further added a touch of pitiful tenderness to her.
Especially her exquisitely beautiful face, which had a sickly pallor, her originally agile and cunning green eyes were now devoid of their former brilliance.
Combined with her slightly disheveled triple braids, and the bloodstained white Hanfu…
It made Luo Hao, the "Slayer" who reigned supreme in the realm of "Martial Arts", display a kind of poignant and pitiable beauty.
If it were any other time, if someone dared to look at her with such an invasive gaze.
Luo Hao would have been furious and would have taught the audacious fool a lesson.
However.
Right now, as she felt Gu Cheng's gaze fall on her, Luo Hao didn't react at all, as if she had given up resisting.
However.
It was all just an illusion.
At this moment, Luo Hao was kneeling on the ground, gritting her teeth, struggling to get up.
Only to realize that she was already powerless to move.
As if an invisible force was suppressing her, preventing her from moving.
“Cough cough…”
At this time, Luo Hao coughed violently, her face pale, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.
She couldn't believe it.
That she would lose to a young man who seemed younger than herself.
And lose so completely!
She didn't even have the strength to stand up.
“This concubine is defeated…”
Thinking of this, Luo Hao forcefully suppressed the churning blood in her body.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes narrowed, looking at Gu Cheng with a complex expression, her voice tinged with bitterness:
“Unexpectedly… this concubine has cultivated for over two hundred years, and yet I have been defeated by a junior…”
“You are very strong, stronger than anyone this concubine has ever seen!”
“This concubine admits defeat!”
“But defeat is defeat, this concubine has nothing else to say.”
“Skill is inferior, to kill or to spare, as you see fit!”
With that, Luo Hao slowly closed her eyes, as if she had given up resisting, prepared to die.
And, this appearance of being so pitifully helpless and vulnerable.
If Gu Cheng didn't know that she was a genuine "Slayer," he would have been moved.
But.
Just as Gu Cheng was wondering if Luo Hao’s surrender was genuine.
At the same time.
As Luo Hao closed her eyes.
A clear prompt echoed in Gu Cheng's mind:
“Ding——!”
【Congratulations! You have completed the mission commissioned by group member "Luo Hao" — Defeat the Slayer "Luo Hao"!】
