Chapter 203 Wildfire Cannot Burn Out
Dust billowed on the ground, and Gu Yan lay in a pool of blood, like a perfectly crafted doll that had been shattered. Above, Qing Xuanzi strode through the air, looked at the pitiful Gu Yan on the ground, and raised his sword.
"If you can't dodge this sword, you will die!" Qing Xuanzi said, and slashed his sword down at Gu Yan. The sword energy was like a blue waterfall falling from the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth.
Gu Yan's eyes reflected the sword light, and he was extremely anxious.
Move! Move your body!
His body was healing itself, but the process was too slow. At this rate, he had no chance of dodging the sword energy. If he couldn't dodge it, his life would end there.
Qing Xuanzi, that bastard, wasn't joking; he really would kill him. Gu Yan didn't want to die, he was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to die like this.
The instinct for survival unleashed Gu Yan's potential.
Driven by this survival instinct, the Chaotic Dao Body accelerated its physical repair with extraordinary power. Its body erupted with a blinding white light. In an instant, the shattered bones, internal injuries, and multiple sword wounds were completely healed.
boom!
The sword energy slashed down, splitting the ground in two and tearing a canyon that stretched for thousands of miles.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
Gu Yan floated in the sky, panting.
He originally possessed the same self-healing ability as his apprentice, Tan Yue, but his life had been too smooth, lacking the stimulation of life and death, preventing him from completing the evolution of his high-speed self-healing physique. The last time this ability was stimulated was when he was forced into marriage by Dugu Xun's father. The time when the goddess Wang Dieyi beat him half to death, he lost consciousness too quickly after the battle ended, and it didn't stimulate the evolution to the extent it needed.
Gu Yan had just caught his breath when a million sword energies rushed towards him.
Having no magical treasures to use, Gu Yan could only rely on his own abilities. He gritted his teeth and poured his immortal power into his right hand, which erupted with a dazzling golden light. The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power) surged rapidly towards his fist, and Gu Yan roared, unleashing a million golden fist imprints.
These golden fist imprints collided with the millions of cyan sword energies, creating a continuous rumbling sound in the void, as if the entire secret realm was about to explode.
After the sword energy and fist imprints disappeared, many holes and spatial rifts appeared in the void, but in the blink of an eye, the sky returned to its original state.
The wind in the sky made Qing Xuanzi's robes flutter, but he was still dressed in white, spotless. Gu Yan, on the other hand, was in a much worse state. His white clothes were covered in bloodstains, and his flawless face was now filthy, as if a pearl had been covered in dust and white jade had been stained with blood.
With a smile on his face, Qing Xuanzi swung his sword at Gu Yan again.
A gigantic sword phantom, thousands of feet long, appeared in the sky, accompanied by an astonishing howl, stirring up a storm as it hurtled towards Gu Yan.
This sword strike was earth-shattering!
Faced with this sword strike, Gu Yan clenched his fists, his muscles bulged, and golden dragon scales appeared on his skin. A dragon shadow soared into the sky and appeared in the void behind him.
Dragon God Technique!!
The five-clawed golden dragon seemed to have come from the torrent of ancient history, roaring as it charged toward the cyan giant sword phantom.
With a deafening roar, the golden dragon and the giant sword clashed and exploded, creating shockwaves that spread outwards. Gu Yan's long hair danced wildly in the wind as he gasped for breath, his strength completely drained once again. He recovered quickly, but Qing Xuanzi wouldn't wait for him to reply. That guy certainly wouldn't let him wait for him to recover before making his move.
Gu Yan thought to herself.
Sure enough, Qing Xuanzi appeared behind him without warning.
Qing Xuanzi kicked him.
Gu Yan suddenly turned around, her hands protecting her chest. Golden dragon scales spread across her arms. Although she blocked the kick, she was still sent flying by the enormous force. She barely managed to stand up in the air after flying a hundred feet away.
Qing Xuanzi, dressed in flowing white robes, stood in the void, enveloped in azure light. Endless laws spread around him, and this broken world suddenly came back to life, with ancient trees filling the void.
Gu Yan was suddenly surrounded by the giant tree. The branches of the ancient tree seemed like giant pythons, rushing towards him frantically, trying to bind him and tear him to pieces. Gu Yan's entire body burst into golden flames, the true fire of the sun. He transformed into a golden sun, or rather, a sun enveloped him.
The sun's true fire surged and burned fiercely, unleashing countless golden rays that ignited all the approaching branches, turning the ancient trees into ashes in an instant.
This time, Gu Yan used the "Great Sun Golden Crow Technique". He himself possesses the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow, and the "Great Sun Golden Crow Technique" can be said to be one of the most suitable cultivation methods for him.
Gu Yan practiced well; at least that's what his maternal grandfather and uncle said.
However, in Qing Xuanzi's opinion, this "Great Sun Golden Crow Technique" was practiced to an extremely poor degree.
Green fragments of stars shimmered throughout the secret realm, and celestial light rained down, transforming the place once again into a world of trees. Ancient trees grew wildly, instantly filling Gu Yan's vision once more, and no matter how the True Fire of the Sun burned, it could not burn them all.
Just like the saying goes, "Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life."
Each time these ancient trees were burned to ashes, they would spring back to life with a gust of wind, growing faster each time. The sun grew dimmer and dimmer because Gu Yan's magical power was weakening. His Solar True Fire was being consumed too quickly, and his magical power could not keep up with the growth rate of these ancient trees.
The golden sun was swallowed by the ancient tree. The boy inside the sun remained in the hand seal position, gritting his teeth as he endured the pain while frantically searching for a solution.
This is……
"The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret"?
Qing Xuanzi used the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Formula".
Gu Yan had also practiced the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique," reaching only the first level before stopping. This was the first time he had seen someone else use the "Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique," and the first time he had witnessed the true power of this technique.
Undeterred by the blazing sun, the jade-green branches bound the entire sun, attempting to pull Gu Yan out from within. The branches, like pythons, strained relentlessly, their life force seemingly devouring the sun's true fire.
I can't hold on any longer!
As soon as this thought arose, all the Solar True Fire on Gu Yan's body was absorbed by the tree branches, which then coiled around his limbs like dragons and snakes. Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder, Wood Azure Thunder, and Supreme Purity Divine Thunder surged from Gu Yan's body. The four-colored divine thunders surrounded him, shattering the branches that bound him, and he immediately broke free from the ancient tree's encirclement.
However, just as it flew into the circle of ancient trees, it was swallowed up by the frantically surging leaves.
Billions of green leaves, like a storm or a tsunami, engulfed him. He barely managed to protect his body with his magic, and then a giant green claw slapped him to the ground like a ball.
boom!
The ground cracked, and Gu Yan was seriously injured and vomited blood again. This time, almost all of her internal organs and bones were shattered.
