Chapter 769 - 408 Watching the Excitement without Minding the Big Deal_2

Senior Brother Yang wore an expression of icy coldness.

"Heh..."

Gu Sheng, upon hearing this, let out a disdainful laugh.

Without bothering to respond, Gu Sheng turned around, ready to leave.

"Planning to leave?"

Senior Brother Yang saw Gu Sheng blatantly ignoring him, his face darkened, and he immediately flew forward, blocking Gu Sheng’s path.

"Do you think you can look down on me?"

"It’s not that I look down on you; you’re simply not worth my effort."

Gu Sheng responded coldly.

"Quite the arrogance!"

Senior Brother Yang, enraged, laughed instead.

"Since this is the case, let’s make a wager. You and I trade punches. If you can take one from me, I’ll pretend none of this happened today."

Senior Brother Yang spoke as he channeled Divine Power, focusing it into his entire fist.

Suddenly, his fist radiated golden light in every direction.

At first glance, the fist appeared to contain boundless strength.

Gu Sheng wasn’t startled. Instead, he shook his head while looking at Senior Brother Yang.

"I decline, because I’ll cripple you."

Gu Sheng’s tone carried a hint of contempt.

"Hahaha..."

Senior Brother Yang burst out laughing, seemingly as if he’d heard the most amusing joke.

"Kid, you really don’t know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth, saying something like that."

"This kid is truly overconfident, daring to challenge Senior Brother Yang."

"Exactly, he doesn’t even know his own limits and dares to be arrogant in front of Senior Brother Yang."

"Looks like he’ll learn a hard lesson today."

Disciples from Ling Peak joined in mockingly.

It seemed that everything about the impending confrontation revolved around their anticipations.

"Gu Sheng, don’t embarrass Zhuo Peak."

Ji Ziyue interjected from the sidelines.

Gu Sheng turned his head toward Ji Ziyue and replied disdainfully, "Stop reveling in chaos as if it’s none of your business."

Finishing, Gu Sheng once again stepped forward, intending to leave.

"Ah?"

Senior Brother Yang reached out directly, clamping his hand firmly onto Gu Sheng’s shoulder.

"Did I not already say? If you want to leave, kneel and apologize!"

Senior Brother Yang said coldly.

A flicker of disdain crossed Gu Sheng’s face.

"I’ll say this once more. If I strike, I’ll end up injuring you."

He said to Senior Brother Yang with an undertone of warning.

"Injuring me? With just you? Absolutely laughable."

Senior Brother Yang showed no concern, mocking Gu Sheng mercilessly.

Just then, he suddenly swung his fist, aiming straight for Gu Sheng’s face.

That punch roared with the sound of breaking through the void.

"Swish!"

Gu Sheng’s silhouette shifted; he easily dodged the blow.

But instead of striking back, Gu Sheng simply stared coldly at Senior Brother Yang.

Having missed, Senior Brother Yang swung again.

Once more, Gu Sheng dodged effortlessly, as though toying with his opponent.

"Haha, is this what you call injuring me?"

Senior Brother Yang taunted sourly. "Turns out you’re just scared. It seems Zhuo Peak’s disciples amount to this at best."

"Senior Brother Yang, finish him off!"

"Yes, Zhuo Peak’s disciples have gone too far; avenge us!"

"Senior Brother Yang, keep going! Smash this Zhuo Peak brat back to his senses and turn Li Ruoyu into a fool!"

Ling Peak cultivators watching nearby sneered triumphantly.

This mockery stirred fury deep within Gu Sheng.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes—attacking Zhuo Peak or dishonoring Li Ruoyu was his bottom line.

When Senior Brother Yang punched once more, Gu Sheng finally struck back.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng’s fist glowed with an even more intense golden light than Senior Brother Yang’s.

Streams of golden radiance crackled like bolts of lightning as his fist collided with Senior Brother Yang’s.

Stunned, the onlookers froze.

Gu Sheng’s glowing fist eclipsed Senior Brother Yang’s golden aura several times over.

In other words, Gu Sheng’s strength was utterly overwhelming!

"Crack!"

The sharp sound of bones breaking filled the air.

Under Gu Sheng’s punch, Senior Brother Yang’s knuckles shattered entirely.

In an instant, his face turned pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Ah..."

Senior Brother Yang screamed in pain, collapsing to the ground in agony.

The unbearable pain in his fingers pushed him to the brink.

"This... how is this possible..."

Clutching his injured hand, Senior Brother Yang wore an expression of both agony and disbelief.

"Senior Brother Yang!"

Nearby cultivators rushed toward him in alarm.

Gu Sheng looked down coldly at him, disdain in his voice: "I told you, if I strike, I’ll injure you."

Ling Peak disciples looked on in shock, their faces full of incredulity as they stared at Gu Sheng.

Ji Ziyue clapped enthusiastically on the sidelines: "Well done, Gu Sheng!"

Gu Sheng ignored her and instead cast a dispassionate glance at Senior Brother Yang.

"Remember this: don’t provoke Zhuo Peak again—anyone from it!"

Senior Brother Yang, clutching his injured hand, gazed at Gu Sheng’s retreating figure, his expression filled with vengeful hatred.

"And what about bothering Star Peak disciples?"

Suddenly, a white-robed cultivator appeared out of nowhere.

"He..."

Li Xiaoman froze in shock.

"Senior Brother Chen Feng, you’re here too?"

Li Xiaoman stepped forward to greet the white-robed cultivator.

"I was cultivating on Ling Peak’s mountainside when I heard about the commotion here. I hadn’t intended to intervene, but it seems someone thinks Ling Peak is defenseless..."

As he spoke, Chen Feng turned his gaze toward Gu Sheng.

It was clear he intended to teach Gu Sheng a lesson.

Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly; he had unwittingly stirred trouble with Star Peak.

As Supreme Mysterious Sect’s core peak, Star Peak cultivators weren’t about to stand idly by.

"You’re Gu Sheng from Zhuo Peak?"

Chen Feng asked.

Gu Sheng nodded.

Chen Feng scrutinized Gu Sheng, seemingly satisfied with his response.

"You injured so many Ling Peak cultivators—what realm are you at?"

Chen Feng asked coldly.

At this moment, standing sideways from Gu Sheng, Chen Feng acted as though he barely regarded him.

Without hesitation, Gu Sheng replied, "Life Spring, give or take."

"’Give or take?’"

Chen Feng chuckled dismissively. "Life Spring Realm and yet this bold? Truly suicidal."

With those words, he struck without any hesitation.

Instantly, the seven stars above seemed to resonate with Chen Feng, showering him with dazzling rays of light to support his attack.

This power was immense and caused the very air around them to tremble.

Gu Sheng sensed the danger, realizing Chen Feng was leagues beyond Senior Brother Yang, and knew he must give his all.

At that moment, Gu Sheng recalled the Seven Stars Step Skill taught to him by the madman.

This technique was mystical, capable of harnessing the energy of the stars.

Gu Sheng began to execute the Seven Stars Step Skill: Tianshu, Tianxuan...

Gu Sheng’s footwork shifted rapidly across the ground, seemingly creating a mysterious connection with the stars above.

Simultaneously, the surrounding space began to distort, forming a protective field around him.

"Zzzz..."

Chen Feng’s overwhelming energy repeatedly crashed against this field.

To everyone’s astonishment, his attacks were effortlessly neutralized.

Chen Feng’s expression shifted; he hadn’t anticipated that Gu Sheng would block his strikes so easily.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Chen Feng asked, shocked.

Gu Sheng didn’t answer and kept executing the Seven Stars Step Skill.

His form flickered, as though merging with the stars themselves.

"Senior Brother Chen Feng, watch out!"

Senior Brother Yang warned from the sidelines.

Chen Feng snapped to attention, a solemn look crossing his face.

He recognized that Gu Sheng was no mere novice and prepared himself seriously.

"Huh..."

Chen Feng exhaled deeply, activating every ounce of his strength.

Chen Feng’s energy synchronized with the seven stars in the heavens, which now emitted blinding radiance.

These forces condensed into seven luminous blades, slashing toward Gu Sheng.

Wherever the blades cut, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving sharp howls echoing across the battlefield.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng leapt into the air.

His body spun rapidly midair.

The scene appeared haphazard, but it was an intricate manifestation of the Seven Stars Step Skill in the Void.

Gu Sheng’s form shimmered amidst the radiance, as if truly transforming into starlight to oppose the incoming attack.
