Chapter 48 Yin-Yang Wheel
"Back!"
Zhang Yang's expression was cold, without the slightest emotion. His whole body was like a heavenly blade.
After exchanging blows with Gu Qing several times, he had to admit a fact—Gu Qing was absolutely a Supreme Physique.
A Supreme Physique was already a serious threat to his position.
Today, he had to take this chance to kill Gu Qing.
"Yes."
His protectors shivered inside, knowing Zhang Yang was angry and filled with killing intent.
"Today, you must die."
Zhang Yang's figure flickered, forming six divine clones. Each held a Heaven-tier treasure, linking together into the Seven-Star Sword Formation.
Earlier, he had been careless and had not treated Gu Qing seriously. Now he would not give Gu Qing the slightest chance to breathe.
He refused to believe the Seven-Star Sword Formation could not kill Gu Qing.
This was an ancient divine technique passed down for countless ages.
Each clone was condensed from his Dao and law, carrying his full power. When combined into the Seven-Star Sword Formation, its might was overwhelming.
Even someone as strong as Jiang Yu had nearly died under this technique.
His record of invincibility and never being defeated as Holy Son was all because of the Seven-Star Sword Formation.
"The Seven-Star Sword Formation is indeed remarkable, but my Nine-Star Fist is no weaker."
Gu Qing's body flickered, forming eight divine clones of his own. Each was condensed from his Dao and law, each a living body of divine power.
In truth, Gu Qing could create even more clones.
Like the immortal technique One Thought, Blossoms Open, The World Bows, where every petal carried his full strike, power enough to shake heaven and earth.
But against Zhang Yang, eight clones were enough.
After all, Zhang Yang did not possess the Celestial Star Physique. The Seven-Star Sword Formation was only an acquired technique, and its power was limited.
Rumble—
Gu Qing's fist intent surged into the sky. Bathed in brilliant starlight, every punch seemed to shatter the void.
Zhang Yang's sword array, with its countless sword lights, was all crushed beneath the fist prints.
Nine figures merged into one, gathering the power of nine stars. One punch collapsed the void.
Clang—
Zhang Yang no longer had his earlier confidence. Terror flashed in his eyes.
The Nine-Star God Fist came crashing toward him. Even before it landed, the momentum bent his back, the terror of death spreading through his heart.
He had no time to think. At once, he summoned the Sun Cauldron again to block.
At the same time, he burned his essence blood. The Sun Blade in his hand blazed with divine fire, distorting the void itself.
Its blade intent was peerlessly sharp, as if it could split the heavens apart with one stroke.
Boom!
The Sun Cauldron was blasted billions of li away, its surface covered in cracks. The Nine-Star Fist weakened slightly, split open by the Sun Blade.
But Zhang Yang still took the blow's force and was sent flying.
Fortunately, he wore golden armor, another King weapon, which shielded him from serious injury.
"What a pity."
Gu Qing's mouth twitched.
Zhang Yang's battle experience was rich. If he had hesitated even a little or been reluctant to sacrifice the Sun Cauldron, he would surely have been injured.
Instead, Zhang Yang abandoned it without hesitation, pressing forward with his blade intent. It was the wisest choice.
Still, Zhang Yang had too many treasures, armed to the teeth. Even Gu Qing struggled to break through them all.
"Ancestor…"
"Ancestor, wake up! How did our Seven-Star Fist become his Nine-Star Fist?"
"Ancestor?"
"…"
…
"Celestial Star Physique…"
Zhang Yang swallowed a drop of Three Lights Divine Water. His injured soul recovered instantly, but his eyes still held fear as they fixed on Gu Qing.
Although he did not understand the exact origin of Gu Qing's Nine-Star Fist,
the fact that it resembled the Seven-Star Fist and carried the aura of a life-bound divine art made Zhang Yang certain—Gu Qing was very likely the Celestial Star Physique.
Only with such a physique could Gu Qing break through so quickly.
And his terrifying body strength was beyond belief. Aside from the Celestial Star Physique, Zhang Yang could not think of any other constitution capable of holding such power.
With this thought, his killing intent against Gu Qing grew even stronger.
He knew very well how important the Celestial Star Physique was to the Star Temple.
If Gu Qing lived, then there would be no place for him in the sect.
"Go and die!"
Zhang Yang summoned a treasure mirror, shining like a blazing sun. Its light seemed to melt the void itself.
This was the Sun Mirror, an imitation of the divine Sun God Mirror, forged from Sun God Gold and Sun God Fire—a supreme weapon and his strongest treasure.
Zhang Yang had once killed a King Realm cultivator under its light.
He did not believe Gu Qing could survive it.
"…"
Gu Qing nearly cursed aloud. Zhang Yang had far too many treasures.
At this rate, Gu Qing suspected he might even bring out a Saint weapon.
So this was how terrifying the descendants of immortals could be.
Boom!
With no time to hesitate, Gu Qing unleashed the Solar God Fist.
Under the light of the Sun Mirror, his Solar God Fist absorbed the blazing radiance, its power soaring.
But after only a breath of time, the fist was melted and dissolved.
That one breath, however, was enough. Gu Qing moved the three women away with a thought.
At the same time, his hands formed seals, yin and yang Dao rhythms flowing from his body.
A divine wheel of yin and yang appeared, blocking the solar light.
The wheel turned, devouring all things, shaping them into a realm of yin and yang.
"Hm? What divine art is this?"
"Isn't the Yin-Yang Divine Fist in our Taiyin Sun Chaos Record different from this?"
"Ancestor, with your vast knowledge, you must know where this divine art comes from. Won't you explain it to us?"
"Don't shout. Ancestor is comprehending the supreme Dao right now. How could he have time for such trivial matters?"
"…"
…
"Haa…"
The three women who had been moved away breathed with relief, their faces showing joy at survival.
The Sun Mirror was terrifying.
Even a hundred li away, even though they were not the target, the blazing solar light still overwhelmed them.
Their bodies had felt as if they were about to melt.
Luckily, Gu Qing had acted quickly. A second later and they would have been burned into ash.
"This is bad… Senior Brother is still inside."
Just as she caught her breath, Su Qingyue's face turned pale, her heart sinking.
"Don't worry. On his own turf, how could Gu Qing possibly fall? Besides, isn't Ji Ning still there?"
Chu Yao grasped her hand to comfort her.
She knew Gu Qing was the Celestial Star Physique, and she also knew how much he meant to the Star Temple.
It could be said that even if a Saint of the sect died, Gu Qing would still be protected.
"Mm, I was just too worried."
Hearing this, Su Qingyue finally calmed down, though her eyes still filled with concern as she gazed at the starry sky.
"Solar light… the light of destruction…"
Luo Li muttered, her phoenix eyes fixed on that blazing sun in the sky, her body trembling with excitement.
She had just decided what her life-bound treasure should be.
Once refined, no matter god or demon, all would perish before it.
