Chapter 232: I Alone Am Invincible Among Peers!

Xia Qianliu froze for a moment. Ever since awakening his Demonic Heart Body, his face had become covered in crimson lava-like patterns.

At this moment, watching Gu Fan step forward through the void from the ground, he suddenly felt a deep, instinctive chill.

“Good! This is good! Only then can I go all out, hahahaha!”

However, Gu Fan curled his lips and said:

“Laugh while you still can. Soon, you won’t be able to.”

The two of them occupied the sky, facing off from left and right.

Crimson demonic flames clashed with pitch-black, ink-like Killing Aura and demonic fire, creating a scene both bewitching and eerie.

This spectacle was witnessed by many disciples of the Immortal Ai Sect. Even some True Disciples who had been in seclusion were startled and appeared in the distance to observe.

“Xia Qianliu again? Who’s provoking that lunatic now? Don’t they know trouble when they see it?”

“Hehe, maybe that person has what it takes to beat Xia Qianliu into submission?”

“Heh, impossible. That guy doesn’t even acknowledge our Eldest Senior Brother. Who could make him yield?”

“True. I fought him once. Even after losing, he still refused to admit defeat, saying that anyone in the same realm would be pummeled by him.”

“Honestly, he’s not wrong. At the Divine Moon Realm, there’s almost no one who can beat him. Which means, no one has ever made him concede at the same realm.”

Just then, someone cried out in surprise.

“That disciple over there doesn’t look like a True Disciple!”

This immediately drew everyone’s attention. They all looked over, then looked at each other, shaking their heads to indicate they didn’t recognize him.

At that moment, Xia Yanhuan’s voice rang out.

“Stop guessing. That person joined the sect just yesterday. Late-stage Divine Moon Realm, a Core Disciple.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. Someone immediately asked:

“What? Another Divine Moon Realm monster?”

“To create such a grand clash with Xia Qianliu at this realm… yeah, definitely a monster!”

Then someone suddenly laughed and said:

“Now I’m looking forward to this. If that guy can defeat Xia Qianliu, we should all go ask him whether he admits defeat this time!”

“Hahaha, good point. Great idea!”

While the crowd chattered on, Gu Fan and Xia Qianliu’s fighting intent had reached its peak in midair!

The next moment, both vanished. When they reappeared, they had turned into two streams of light that violently collided!

Gu Fan’s eyes gleamed like icy lightning, filled with boundless battle intent.

His opponent was indeed no weaker than the Holy Son who once defeated him. In fact, his offensive power was even more frenzied.

Gu Fan recalled his first-ever defeat in the Rift Battlefield. Now, his fighting spirit erupted once more.

Inside his body, the Taiji Fish spun continuously, converting all Spiritual Power into Mysterious Power. His Blood Essence burst through the clouds in the sky.

His entire body radiated a treasured glow, appearing as if cast from glazed glass.

This was a sign of reaching minor mastery in the Path of the Physical Body.

Now, every one of his strikes, every punch, seemed to be empowered like a Magical Tool!

Even when Xia Qianliu brought out a Magical Tool long spear to attack, Gu Fan chose to confront it head-on with his bare body!

Xia Qianliu grew more exhilarated as the battle continued, his expression becoming increasingly deranged.

The whites of his eyes were gradually consumed by blood-red, indicating a continuous loss of reason, traded in exchange for skyrocketing combat power!

The long spear in his hands, paired with his combat techniques, unleashed an unmatchable offensive.

Each thrust carried the power to pierce the void.

A slight stir could cause space to twist and fold!

Thus, in Gu Fan’s eyes, the spear that was clearly aimed at his chest suddenly shifted to target his throat as it neared.

Like a venomous snake, the slightest carelessness would mean death and Dao extinction!

“Hahahaha, exhilarating!”

Xia Qianliu’s Mysterious Power surged explosively as he thrust out another spear.

The violent power instantly tore the air apart!

Yet Gu Fan remained calm, his face impassive. With one palm, he struck the spear tip from the side, and with the other, delivered a punch toward Xia Qianliu!

By now, Gu Fan had confirmed that his opponent’s reputation was no fluke.

To reach the level of a True Disciple at the Divine Moon Realm indeed required real strength.

What made it even more troublesome was that Xia Qianliu had also cultivated the Body Refining path. Otherwise, Gu Fan’s earlier punches alone would have transmitted enough force through the spear to injure him.

But clearly, that wasn’t the case now!

Moreover, Xia Qianliu’s spear-type combat techniques belonged to the realm of Physical Body Combat. For him, Magic Immunity had nearly no diminishing effect.

“Gu Fan! Gu Fan! Let me enjoy this a bit longer!”

Gu Fan grew slightly annoyed at his endless chatter and snapped coldly:

“Shut up!”

Peaceful Dispersal Decision—blades of sword light appeared in the void, striking at his opponent with ghost-like unpredictability.

Xia Qianliu had clearly not expected Gu Fan to wield sword cultivator techniques. His defense was too late, and two wounds were immediately pierced into his chest.

Gu Fan activated the transformation again and stepped forward!

A massive footprint stomped down from the sky, aiming to crush Xia Qianliu beneath it.

Xia Qianliu met it head-on with his spear but was still blasted away by the immense force, blood spurting wildly from his mouth.

“Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena—Fall!”

Behind Gu Fan, the Phantom of the Giant Elephant converged into a single punch!

As the fist was thrown, heaven and earth fell silent!

Xia Qianliu’s face twisted in fury. Though blood poured from his mouth, he was still laughing wildly.

“You can’t kill me! I am the strongest! I am invincible among peers!”

“Demonic Heart Body! Freeform Demonic Fist!”

Countless demonic energy compressed into this blow. In that moment, both of them resolved to end it with a single strike!

Boom!!

They both unleashed their full-force punches.

The terrifying force of the two fists collided like meteors crashing.

Instantly, a mushroom cloud rose, and the violent explosion swept across the buildings of the Immortal Ai Sect.

Just then, a white figure stepped out slowly. The person wore the robes of a scholar, looking gentle and refined.

Yet, with a single step, he appeared above the two and flipped his palm to deploy a massive energy barrier, completely containing the two’s clash without affecting anyone else in the sect.

Although Gu Fan was curious as to who this powerful individual was, he had no time to think—this was the critical moment, and he could only go all out!

“Ahahaha! I, Xia Qianliu, am undefeated!”

Gu Fan growled:

“In front of me, who dares utter the word ‘undefeated’! Besides…”

“Don’t you know that the one on the left always loses in a power clash? You’re standing in the wrong position. How can you hope to win?”

Right after, Gu Fan sensed the Evil Lotus within his modified Root Bone open a connection and once again poured a massive amount of Spiritual Energy into him!

Within a second, the Spiritual Energy had all transformed into Mysterious Power. Receiving such a boost, Gu Fan’s aura surged once more, instantly blasting Xia Qianliu away!

Moments later, Xia Qianliu lay on the ground, dazed as he stared at the sky, seemingly lost.

Gu Fan immediately stepped forward, but a figure blocked his path.

“Junior Brother, let’s end it here. How about giving your Senior Sister some face?”

Gu Fan focused his gaze and realized it was the same Senior Sister who had appeared in his Cave Residence before.

“Why?”

“Sigh, don’t be angry, Junior Brother. My name is Xia Yanhuan, and he is Xia Qianliu. What do you think our relationship is?”

“That guy is my younger brother. If you give me this one favor today, consider it your Senior Sister owing you a favor. How about it?”

Xia Yanhuan said with a beaming smile.

Gu Fan was momentarily surprised, but then it made sense.

They both bore the surname Xia. Xia Yanhuan had even forewarned him about Xia Qianliu’s intentions. Clearly, their relationship was not ordinary.

Siblings… That was reasonable.

Besides, his current state wasn’t great. Engaging Xia Yanhuan now would definitely be an irrational move.

At this thought, Gu Fan suddenly asked:

“Then, Senior Sister, if I had lost just now, would you have stopped your brother?”

Xia Yanhuan paused, then replied with sincere eyes:

“I would.”

Hearing this, Gu Fan chuckled and turned away with a wave of his hand:

“Then let’s end it here for today. I’ve said it before—at the Divine Moon Realm, no one can stand against me!”

“I, Gu Fan, am the one who is truly invincible among peers!”
