Chapter 262: Sorcerous God Carefree Steps!

Gu Fan stood up, his aura erupting as he instantly stood on equal footing with Qingxia Young Master.

“I thought you’d avoid the fight again. Looks like you’ve accepted reality this time?”

Gu Fan sneered at the corner of his lips, unfazed by the oppressive aura released by Qingxia Young Master.

“How rare, the turtle finally pokes its head out.”

Qingxia Young Master let out a cold snort. These past few days, he had endured enough of the rumors circulating within the sect.

Some even thought he was afraid of Gu Fan, which was why he hadn’t dared to come out and accept the challenge.

He was one of the top three geniuses of the sect—how could he bear such slander?

After days of suppression, his fury erupted, and he finally accepted the challenge.

As for losing?

Qingxia Young Master never considered it. If he couldn’t defeat a junior who had only grasped fifty percent mastery of his domain, then he might as well end himself!

If not for concerns about affecting his condition for the Eastern Region Assembly, he would have long taught that overconfident Gu Fan a lesson!

“Gu Fan, I originally planned to teach you a proper lesson after the Eastern Region Assembly. Since you’re so eager now, I’ll grant your wish!”

“So much nonsense. Take a punch from me first!”

Gu Fan snorted coldly, raising his hand and unleashing a punch.

Qingxia Young Master, being one of the top three disciples, was peak-tier in both combat capability and cultivation.

He easily evaded the strike, then counterattacked with a burst of Mysterious Power.

In an instant, the two exchanged several moves, all ending in stalemates.

Qingxia Young Master’s expression was confident and arrogant as he looked down at Gu Fan with a slight smile on his lips:

“You’re strong. You’ve just broken through to the Solar Radiance Realm and can’t wait to challenge me. But unfortunately, to enter the top five, your strength is still lacking!”

“So much pointless talk!”

Qingxia Young Master wasn’t in a rush. His body slowly stretched out, like performing a special kind of dance, walking through the air in a leisurely manner.

This scene caused the expressions of many observing disciples to drastically change.

“That’s the Sorcerous God Carefree Steps! Qingxia Young Master’s signature battle technique!”

“They say he acquired this inheritance unintentionally while training outside the sect. It’s an extremely terrifying battle technique!”

“Why do I feel dizzy just watching those steps…”

“Soul attack! That technique comes with innate Divine Soul attack attributes! Don’t look directly!”

Immediately, several nearby disciples had their Divine Souls wounded and collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood!

Qingxia Young Master’s body continued its elegant movements, while invisible Divine Soul attacks continuously bombarded Gu Fan’s soul. It was an indiscriminate area attack—there was no way for Gu Fan to dodge, even if he wanted to!

“I see you’ve focused on cultivating the physical body, but I specialize in Divine Soul. Let’s see how you defend against my technique now!”

Gu Fan’s brows furrowed tightly. The stinging pain in his mind made his Divine Soul rather uncomfortable, though it hadn’t reached an unbearable level.

“What a powerful Divine Soul attack. If my Divine Soul wasn’t already a level above the norm, I might really have fallen for it!”

At that moment, Qingxia Young Master suddenly appeared beside Gu Fan, sweeping across with a dazzling burst of Mysterious Power.

Gu Fan sidestepped to evade, while simultaneously adapting to the Divine Soul assault in his mind and defending against the attacks.

“Divine Soul attacks aren’t considered techniques… my magic immunity can’t weaken it…”

Qingxia Young Master’s laughter grew more rampant. His body swayed like a willow branch, infused with an odd yet profound Daoist charm, launching continuous strikes.

“Gu Fan, if this is all you’ve got, I think this challenge can be declared over in advance!”

His movements became entirely unpredictable, yet struck out like thunder, with astonishing speed, launching multiple assaults at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan continued to evade and retreat—he needed time to adapt!

Engaging head-on at this moment was definitely not the best choice.

Qingxia Young Master’s offensive was unimaginably terrifying. Just after Gu Fan dodged another strike, Qingxia Young Master leapt into the air, appearing high above his head.

Then, a foot descended. Powerful Mysterious Power rippled through the space, as if the sky itself trembled.

Though his body didn’t seem to exert any force, the overwhelmingly fierce pressure pressed down solidly onto Gu Fan.

This was Gu Fan’s most passive battle since arriving at the Immortal Ai Sect. From the start of the fight, he had been entangled by Qingxia Young Master’s bizarre battle technique.

The feeling of being forced into pure defense was truly awful—an ordinary person would have already grown frustrated and made mistakes.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, Gu Fan finally managed to dodge the strike.

Qingxia Young Master’s foot shattered the ground, terrifying cracks spreading for dozens of li, and the surrounding terrain completely collapsed.

“In the end, all you can do is run? Gu Fan! You won’t escape!”

Qingxia Young Master pressed on aggressively. His battle technique continued to affect the Divine Soul. His body vanished again, and with horrifying Mysterious Power, he struck out with a palm, aiming to suppress Gu Fan beneath it!

“Hahaha, run! Keep running!”

“You think you’re qualified to challenge me? If I don’t thoroughly put you in your place today, others will really start thinking the top five disciples are easy to challenge!”

Gu Fan’s brow furrowed tightly. At that moment, he finally felt that he had adapted to the Divine Soul assault. The moment he was affected by it, he had activated the tiny Evil Lotus within his Root Bone to resonate with the main body of the Evil Lotus.

He simultaneously used Divine Soul Power to replenish what he had lost and balanced the effects of the technique’s interference.

Fortunately, with the Evil Lotus helping to share the burden, the powerful Divine Soul attack was finally completely neutralized and adapted to!

In that instant, a brilliant light burst forth from the center of Gu Fan’s brow!

It was the Divine Eye attack formed by the evolution of the Peaceful Dispersal Decision!

Qingxia Young Master had always been on guard against Gu Fan’s last-ditch counterattack. In his eyes, this move was simply Gu Fan’s final struggle!

Once it was over, Gu Fan would be like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

“What a pity, you couldn’t even force out my domain. I really overestimated you.”

Qingxia Young Master sneered coldly, then quickly dodged the Divine Light from Gu Fan’s brow.

But just as he turned around, preparing to end Gu Fan, he saw a massive phantom palm crashing down with a thunderous pressure!

Gu Fan swung his large hand, slamming it down directly at him.

The colossal palm was like a grinding mill, carrying the power to annihilate everything as it pressed onto Qingxia Young Master’s body!

Boom boom!!

“Damn it! Get lost!”

Qingxia Young Master’s expression drastically changed. The strength of this strike was so overwhelming that he couldn’t resist it at all—only by unleashing his domain could he neutralize it!

With a loud boom, a green domain erupted fiercely. Within this domain, all incoming attacks were greatly weakened and finally dissipated with a single slap from Qingxia.

Such was the power of a domain—no matter the nature of the attack, once it entered an opponent’s domain, it would be weakened by the power of the Domain Laws.

A technique with tenfold strength would be reduced to just around fourfold.

This was the might of someone who had mastered a domain—only a domain could contend against another domain!

Gu Fan smiled faintly at the corner of his lips and spoke somewhat indifferently:

“Qingxia Young Master, losing your temper already?”

Qingxia’s eyes grew darker. In that brief moment earlier, Gu Fan had seemingly neutralized the negative effects on his Divine Soul.

The sudden burst of power was terrifying enough that he had no choice but to rely on his domain to dispel it.

“Gu Fan, this game is over. The domain is my strongest technique!”

He was confident—in the contest of domains, he would absolutely crush Gu Fan!
