Hearing that he would be defeated in ten moves, Gu Tianhe was instantly furious.
Looking at the girl before him, with her exquisite face and perfect figure, Gu Tianhe admitted she was a beauty of unparalleled charm.
But, are beauty and strength necessarily proportional?
You're only sixteen years old, yet you dare to challenge me, a "peerless master" who has lived for over three hundred years, and even claim you'll take me down in ten moves?
Therefore, Gu Tianhe was very angry and decided to be ruthless.
But at this moment, Chu Yang's voice rang in his ear: "Sect Leader Gu, show mercy, don't hurt this young lady."
Gu Tianhe was so angry he almost cursed. Can't you stop thinking with your lower body? Which side are you on anyway? How did your parents even give birth to a carbon-based life form like you? Damn it!
At this moment, Su Yunying stepped forward, "Are you Sect Leader Gu? I am Su Yunying. Our Boss Shen said I must defeat you within ten moves, or my future is ruined. So, please, Sect Leader Gu, give me some face."
"Stop the nonsense and attack!"
Gu Tianhe knew that he couldn't argue with these energetic young people. The only way to win was through strength.
"Take this!"
Gu Tianhe roared and launched into the familiar Great River Opening and Closing Swordplay.
Su Yunying immediately brandished her spear. With a spin of the spear, the sword qi rushing at her vanished instantly. Then, she thrust forward. The spear moved like a dragon, resembling a flowing cloud and a flying rainbow. For a moment, Gu Tianhe almost couldn't parry.
"What? This girl's cultivation seems to be on par with mine? How is this possible!"
After three moves, Gu Tianhe was shocked to realize that Su Yunying's cultivation was actually comparable to his own, and her spiritual energy was even purer.
Shen Zhao quietly observed the battlefield situation. After Su Yunying had used five moves, he basically understood that her combat skills were mediocre. Although her spear techniques were sharp, the moves were too old-fashioned, making them easy for old monsters like Gu Tianhe to predict.
Six moves.
Seven moves.
Gu Tianhe's sword energy surged, and sword light flashed, leaving trails of air marks in the air.
However, Su Yunying remained calm and responded in an orderly manner, both offensively and defensively.
After seven moves, the two figures crossed paths in mid-air, and the sound of metal clashing pierced the ears.
After eight moves, Su Yunying's expression suddenly changed. She seized a flaw in Gu Tianhe's stance and decisively thrust out a spear, directly attacking his vital point.
"Truly lacking experience, he's deliberately luring you in!"
Shen Zhao sighed helplessly upon seeing this scene.
Sure enough, the moment the spear thrust out, Gu Tianhe suddenly changed his sword momentum, directly pressing down on the spear shaft. Then, the Soaring Dragon Sword came off his hand, circling along the spear shaft.
"Not good, this is the Tianhe Swordplay!"
Gu Hanshan was shocked, not expecting that Gu Tianhe had actually mastered the Guhe Sect's foundational swordplay, and couldn't help but worry for Su Yunying.
Gu Tianhe believed that with this move, he could certainly sever the spear. However, when he confidently struck the spear shaft, the Soaring Dragon Sword actually snapped.
"What? This..."
Gu Tianhe was shocked, staring at the broken sword in his hand with disbelief.
This Soaring Dragon Sword was a Mystic-Grade Spirit Artifact, and it had actually broken just like that.
"Hey, Sect Master, that's the ninth move."
The next moment, Su Yunying seized the opportunity, employing a swift and agile movement technique. Her Lone Goose transformed into a storm of icy light, piercing towards Gu Tianhe's body.
Gu Tianhe gritted his teeth, using his broken sword to barely block the attacks. Before he could catch his breath, he saw the cloth-wrapped spearhead still spinning like a whirlwind, now pressed against his throat.
"Exactly ten moves!"
Su Yunying turned and smiled at Shen Zhao.
"Tch, still just relying on the advantage of the weapon to win."
Shen Zhao secretly scoffed.
Ten moves. Really, only ten moves, and Su Yunying had defeated Gu Tianhe?
This scene left Gu Tianhe and the Yao Race elites astonished, staring at Su Yunying as if she were a monster, their faces filled with disbelief.
"No, that's impossible!"
Gu Tianhe couldn't possibly accept this outcome, especially being defeated by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of so many disciples? This was a complete humiliation!
"You cheated! You cheated!"
He roared towards the sky, his eyes bloodshot, and the air around him surged, like a raging lion.
Su Yunying frowned: "What, are you going to go back on your word?"
"Hmph! This old man was tricked by you, you little bitch! This round doesn't count!"
Seeing that Gu Tianhe was about to go back on his word, Shen Zhao immediately laughed: "Hey, old man, a loss is a loss, are you really going to go back on your word?"
"Who said this old man lost? This old man didn't lose at all!"
Gu Tianhe roared.
"That little bitch only won by relying on the advantage of her weapon. Why should this old man admit defeat!"
Slap!
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yunying slapped him across the face.
"Watch your mouth. If you dare to call me that again, I'll definitely stab two holes in you."
"You little bitch, you dare hit me? This old man today..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a furious Shen Zhao threw a punch at his face, sending him spinning in the air three hundred and sixty degrees, kicking up a whirlwind.
When he landed, Shen Zhao stomped on his face.
"Sect Leader!"
"Damn it, let go of the Sect Leader!"
"Kid, don't you dare hurt our Sect Leader."
Seeing their Sect Leader being humiliated, the elders and disciples of the Guhe Sect spoke out, trying to stop him.
However, Shen Zhao ignored them, rubbing his foot on Gu Tianhe's face a few times. He sneered, "Old man, I gave you face, but you didn't want it, insisting on asking for trouble, huh? Then I'll grant your wish!"
With that, he lifted him up, grabbing the back of his neck, and brought him before Su Yunying, saying, "Apologize to her. You dare to touch my subordinate? How many lives do you think you have?"
Held by Shen Zhao like this, Gu Tianhe felt utterly powerless. His qi sea seemed to be locked, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't sense any spiritual energy.
"Kneel and apologize!"
"You dare to humiliate this old man? Do you know..."
"Kneel!"
With a "crack," Shen Zhao kicked Gu Tianhe, forcing him to kneel in front of Su Yunying.
"You..."
"Kowtow and admit your mistake!"
"Impossible!"
"Stubborn, huh? Then let me help!"
With those words, Shen Zhao stomped his head down.
A loud boom echoed.
Gu Tianhe's forehead slammed into the blue-and-white porcelain floor, spiderweb cracks spreading out from the point of impact.
The Guhe Sect disciples watched this unfold, not daring to utter a sound.
Shen Zhao could torment their sect leader, a Soul Sea Realm cultivator at the fifth rank, as if he were a child; they wouldn't dare provoke him.
Gu Tianhe gritted his teeth, shame and fear warring within him, but he stubbornly kept his mouth shut.
He had to hold on. He absolutely could not give in.
This matter concerns the sect's reputation.
However, from the moment he was defeated by Su Yunying, and then went back on his word, he had already lost face, let alone any reputation.
Many Guhe Sect disciples looked at Gu Tianhe with none of their previous respect, but rather with disdain and contempt.
What Gu Tianhe wanted now was only his own face.
Seeing that Gu Tianhe still wouldn't budge, Shen Zhao stepped on his head and continued to kowtow to Su Yunying.
Su Yunying frowned slightly and hurriedly said to Shen Zhao, "Shen, stop it. I don't care about his apology."
Shen Zhao said, "Girl, since you've decided to follow me, remember this well: no matter where you go, you can't let others bully you.
If someone helps you, you must know how to repay them. If you've been wronged, then you must get your revenge!"
After speaking, another vicious kick slammed Gu Tianhe's face into the ground.
At that moment, something seemed to tug at Su Yunying's heartstrings. She felt a pang in her nose, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Just as blood streamed down Gu Tianhe's forehead, a deep, resonant voice echoed from within the Guhe Sect:
"Enough! You brat, how dare you humiliate my Guhe Sect like this!"
Hearing this, the Guhe Sect elders immediately knelt towards the sect: "Greetings, Old Ancestor!"
As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of disciples followed suit, kneeling and shouting, "Greetings, Old Ancestor!"
"Hahaha, the Old Ancestor has emerged from seclusion. Brat, your death is at hand."
Gu Tianhe was overjoyed, opening his bloodied mouth to threaten Shen Zhao.
Gu Hanshan and his group immediately turned pale, with Leng Hu directly placing a hand on the hilt of his sword.
However, Shen Zhao didn't even look back, once again stomping Gu Tianhe's head into the pit.
Unfortunately, this time the force was too great, directly crushing half of Gu Tianhe's body into the stone slab, leaving him hanging upside down with his legs in the air, a truly pathetic sight.
"How dare you!"
Gu Qinghe was enraged by Shen Zhao's actions, his voice filled with fury.
"You dare disobey my orders!"
In the next moment, a hurricane rushed towards Shen Zhao's face.
"Be careful, Shen-laoda."
Su Yunying cried out in alarm.
However, the next moment, the gale swept over Shen Zhao's back, only lifting the corner of his robes before there was no other reaction.
"Huh? That's it?"
Chu Yang, who had been waiting to see Shen Zhao get embarrassed, was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but look down on the Old Ancestor of the Guhe Sect.
"What the hell is this? Scared the shit out of me, I thought I was going to experience what it means to be terrifying as hell, but it's just this? Really, like a tiny knife scraping your ass, made this old man laugh."
