474 The Ninth Fist Shadow

Gu Xi’s pupils reflected the shadow of the huge descending fist, and his expression was serious. He knew that this would be an all-out blow from a cultivator in the intermediate Great Saint stage, and this blow could annihilate an entire area. Gu Xi knew that he could not underestimate it.

If he was a little careless, he will fall here!

“Whew…” Gu Xi took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. The breath he exhaled was instantly evaporated by the high temperature, and at the same time, the anxiety in his heart disappeared without a trace.

“Old Dog, I hope you won’t let me down either!” His voice was so soft that only he could hear it. He immediately stretched out his slender hands, making a lifting motion.

The next moment, the ground began to tremble violently, and the magma from the depths of the ground poured out of the surface almost crazily, thick pillars of magma fire shot up into the sky, and gathered in mid-air to form an even larger pillar of fire. Like a long flaming dragon, it opened its teeth and swung its claws to meet the first falling Fist Shadow.

Boom—

Accompanied by a deafening sound, a tyrannical ripple of spiritual power spread in all directions, forcing the onlookers to retreat further away, so as not to harm themselves.

However, the aftermath of the first confrontation was not over yet, another huge Fist Shadow roared down from above. At the same time, the large formation below responded. Hundreds of pillars of magma and fire shot up into the sky again, striking upward without fear.

Boom boom boom—

In just a few short minutes, there had already been seven shocking fights, and laying waste to a large area around it.

At this time, the crowd of onlookers had already retreated several miles away and built thick barriers of spiritual power. The barriers allowed them to watch the battle safely for the time being. Some people with weak strength have already fled far away, for fear that if they stayed, they will be into an inconspicuous part of this battlefield.

In mid-air, seven of the eight Fist Shadows that originally covered the sky and the sun had disappeared, leaving only the last one. However, it was also the strongest one.

Zhan Wushuang was quietly suspended in mid-air. His expression was still ice-cold at this time, but one could vaguely catch a hint of emotion on his face.

“Looking at the entire Eastern Continent, there are very few people who can resist seven of my Fist Shadows, and you’re definitely the only one among the younger generation.”

He stared directly at Gu Xi who was not far away. He was silent for a moment before he continued, “If you are such a genius, it would be a pity to die like this. I will give you another chance. As long as you choose to join my Zhan Clan, I swear by my own reputation that I will definitely give you the most generous treatment ever in the entire Zhan Clan. Whether it is spirit skills, spirit arrays, spirit stones, or even women… As long as you want it, the Zhan Clan will provide them. I will do my best to give you everything, and your status will be unbeatable, below only me. How about it?”

After saying these words, Zhan Wushuang’s eyes were full of anticipation.

Gu Xi was very strong. At his age and in this cultivation realm, he was unbelievably strong. It was indeed very strenuous for Zhan Wushuang to defeat Gu Xi. However, even so, Zhan Wushuang still had the absolute confidence to defeat or even obliterate him.

Now that he had seen Gu Xi’s astonishing skills through these few fights, it also made him cherish Gu Xi’s talent. If Gu Xi could agree to join the Zhan Clan, then this battle will just be a great story to tell, and in the days to come, the strength of the Zhan Clan will also increase with Gu Xi’s growth. The Zhan Clan may even dominate the entire Eastern Continent one day!

Of course, all these ideas were predicated upon Gu Xi joining the Zhan Clan, which was also the main reason why Zhan Wushuang looked forward to it so much.

On the other hand, Gu Xi shook his head resolutely when Zhan Wushuang proposed such a generous and attractive condition. He smiled disdainfully and said, “I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you, Clan Master Zhan. Your Zhan Clan… I will never join it!”

Gu Xi’s answer was very straightforward, and he did not give Zhan Wushuang the slightest bit of face. It could even be said that he raised his hand and gave Zhan Wushuang two resounding slaps.

Just like what Zhan Wushuang said, looking at the entire Eastern Continent, there were only a few people who could match Gu Xi’s talents and abilities. However, in the same way, it was also extremely rare for Zhan Wushuang to extend an olive branch to Gu Xi again and again without hesitation.

Gu Xi was also the first person who could reject Zhan Wushuang’s invitations in such a way.

And as Gu Xi’s words fell, the smile that took so much effort to put on disappeared from Zhan Wushuang’s face.

“Since you have chosen not to join the Zhan Clan, then you will disappear from this world.”

After the words were finished, the eighth Fish Shadow roared down without the slightest delay.

The shadow of the gradually enlarged fist was reflected in Gu Xi’s pupils. Without the slightest hesitation, he manipulated the entire spirit array to explode, causing thousands of pillars of magma fire to erupt, and gathered a flame pillar of nearly a thousand feet. The long magma dragon flew out roaring.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the Fist Shadow and the dragon came into contact. After a huge roar, the nearly 100-foot void at the center of the explosion collapsed and shattered. Immediately, a terrifying spiritual power shot up into the sky, tearing apart a long-lasting crack in space along the way.

From a distance, the confrontation between the two seemed to tear the entire sky apart. This scene made everyone watching the battle from a distance gasp.

And with the shattering of the eighth Fist Shadow, shocking cracks appeared on the surface of the huge formation that stretched for tens of miles below. After a short period of time, the entire formation started to collapse inch by inch. The array formation was now broken, and it gradually degraded into nothingness.

“It seems that this is the limit of the Zhan Clan’s famous skills. How disappointing.” At this time, Gu Xi’s face was extremely pale, and his chest was heaving up and down. The spiritual power in his body was already stretched. It was obvious that the use of the heaven-grade spirit array consumed an extremely large amount of spiritual energy.

“This is definitely not the limit of my Zhan Clan’s Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist,” Zhan Wushuang said softly.

Compared to Gu Xi’s miserable state, Zhan Wushuang was in better shape. However, his clothes were a little messy. Although he was breathing a little heavily, it was almost completely negligible compared to Gu Xi.

As his words fell, Zhan Wushuang twitched the corner of his mouth. At the same time, a large amount of spiritual power began to gather in the sky above, and then another huge Fist Shadow appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xi’s heart suddenly sank.

“This is… the ninth Fist Shadow!?”
