Just now, Chu Fengge almost poured all his strength into it—he was eager to defeat Gu Xu with one move, regain his prestige, and make the other party have no power to fight back, so he could only obediently beg for mercy in front of him.

It's exciting to think about such a picture.

But now, when Chu Fengge saw the drizzle falling from the sky, his heart sank, and his breathing involuntarily paused for a moment.

He didn't know what kind of spell Gu Xu was using.

However, he could clearly feel that in these rains like a thousand silver threads, his own sword intent was rolled.

How powerful the sword power Chu Fengge used just now was, how dangerous the killing intent that returned to him at this time was.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, how did this kid Gu Xu learn so many weird spells?" Chu Fengge was deeply surprised.

Chu Fengge, as a genius of the Great Qi Dynasty and a confidant brought up by the head of the division, has undoubtedly been exposed to many high-grade spells and martial arts, and he also knows very well how difficult they are to learn.

He still remembered that when he was cultivating the "Cloud Sea Star River Sword" two years ago, he was taken by the head of the division to the stargazing platform of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division to meditate for a month, to think about the operation of thousands of stars in the sky.

At that time, Lord Si Shou said to him: "Chu Fengge, you should know that there are two incarnations in the heavens, one of them is called 'Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor', known as 'Lord of the Stars, Master of Vientiane', who is in charge of the Stars of the World, the Fortune of the Universe, and the rise and fall of the world.

"When you can feel his existence and power through this starry sky, and feel the fate of the existence in the underworld, you will also be able to comprehend the true meaning of the avenue of "Meteor Walking the Moon" and "Cloud Sea Star River Sword"."

"Lord Si, is this your 'way'?" After hearing these words, Chu Fengge asked.

Luo Sishou smiled and did not answer this question directly, but said, "Otherwise, why do you think I can gain insight into the heavens and know everything in the world?" It was the mighty Emperor Ziwei who lent me his eyes! ”

Chu Fengge seems to understand whether he understands or not.

The legendary Ziwei Emperor who ruled the heavens and the earth, and the unseen and untouchable trajectory of fate, were too mysterious and profound for him, beyond the scope of his mind to understand.

He would rather carry a sword and single-handedly fight the "fierce god" level ghosts than think about such a complicated issue.

Therefore, so far, Chu Fengge has not been able to completely understand the "Yunhai Xinghe Sword", nor has he been able to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao hidden in it.

"Yunhai Xinghe Sword" has a total of nine styles, and Chu Fengge can only use the first four styles, and he can only exert less than sixty percent of his power.

Otherwise, his menacing "Falling Nine Days" would not have been easily resolved by Gu Xu's still unfamiliar "City Full of Wind".

However, although Chu Fengge was surprised in his heart, he was not panicked.

He held his sword across his chest and faced the drizzle and catkins in the sky.

With the sound of an iron sword "humming", the starlight and clouds converged above his head, forming an invisible barrier blocking the white rain curtain.

The wisps of sword qi immediately dispersed to both sides, and disappeared into the endless darkness with a clear sound like a spring of tinkling dong.

"The night of the Tianhe River turns and drifts back to the stars, and Yinpu Liuyun learns the sound of water."

This is the third type of "Yunhai Xinghe Sword", "Tianhe Night Turn".

This is the only defensive move in the Nine Styles of Swordsmanship, and it is able to block the enemy's area-of-effect attacks in a relatively short period of time.

"That's it?" Chu Fengge pretended to be calm, raised his chin, and said to Gu Xu in a provocative tone.

Gu Xu smiled faintly, his expression unfazed.

He didn't carry a "thrilling pen", so he could only exert about thirty percent of the power of the "full city".

It was expected to be blocked by Chu Fengge effortlessly.

However, Gu Xu did not feel lost.

Because he has confirmed his guess through experiments - the "Amazing Pen" is not only a weapon used in battle, but also a magic weapon to assist in enlightenment.

He can't rely on it forever.

He had to try to turn every spell of the "Amazing Pen" into his own completely in order to pave a path for himself to become a saint.

In addition, Gu Xu has another gain.

By observing the "Cloud Sea Star River Sword" cast by Chu Fengge, as well as the "Meteor Walking the Moon" body technique that he had observed the "Spirit Fox" cast before, he roughly guessed what the "Dao" of the head of the division was.

The "popular moon walking" method may seem unpredictable, but in fact, its whereabouts can be predicted by the position of the stars in the sky.

"Yunhai Xinghe Sword" seems to be confusing, but in fact, it also hides a law.

In addition, Master Si Shou is proficient in the art of celestial deduction, and is claimed to be able to deduce what will happen in the future.

So Gu Xu came to the conclusion -

"It turns out that the 'Tao' of the head of the division is fate."

He believes that although the world is impermanent, everything is certain.

"He believed that everything in the world was arranged, just as the stars in the sky would follow a fixed trajectory."

"This is the basis for him to perform the Heavenly Technique."

Gu Xu's thinking only happened in a short moment.

In the next second, Chu Fengge swung the iron sword again with lightning speed and slashed at Gu Xu.

Behind him, a phantom of a bright moon loomed.

This round of bright moon not only plated Chu Fengge with a layer of silver, but also made his movements as swift as lightning and unpredictable as a ghost.

The fourth style of "Yunhai Xinghe Sword", "Tianxiao Moon Shift"!

Gu Xu quickly recognized Chu Fengge's move and came up with a way to deal with it.

He thought: The "Tao" of the head of the division is to believe in fate and the arrangement of fate. And my "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" symbolizes rebellion and change—perhaps today, it can be used to restrain Chu Fengge's swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu raised his hand slightly.

The handleless flying blades on the edge of the ring, which were as thin as cicada wings, flew into the air one after another.

They flickered with a faint glow of fire, like fireflies flying in the dark.

Although as the saying goes, "how can the light of the fireflies compete with the bright moon".

But at this moment, at the moment when the "Firefly" appeared, the bright moon behind Chu Fengge suddenly disappeared.

Before Chu Fengge could swing his sword to resist, he was torn to pieces by the flying blade, and then burned into black ashes.

It all happened in the midst of lightning.

Because the damage of the "Firefly" burst in an instant was too high, Chu Fengge didn't even have a chance to use the "Wild Grass" magic power to repair his body.

In the vast darkness, a clear line of text emerged:

"Suzaku, win."

Gu Xu looked at these lines of words, thought for a moment, and only felt that this should be the longest time he had stayed in the "Dao Realm".
