Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 401 - Absolute Suppression

In the huge hall, one could almost hear a pin drop.

Zhang Zhan’s fist was tightly grasped by Gu Xi. No matter how much strength he exerted, even though his face was red and his neck was thick, he still could not retract his hand.

“Damn it!” Zhang Zhan gritted his teeth, his face full of disbelief.

It was not just him, almost everyone present was the same.

They had never expected that Zhang Zhan would actually be at a disadvantage in the first exchange.

“With Zhang Zhan’s physical body, how could he be suppressed like this?” The female disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion covered her mouth and cried out in surprise.

Hou Yu, who was at the side, furrowed his brows, his expression gloomy, and did not answer.

He knew clearly in his heart that there was only one possibility to be able to create such a situation, and that was that Gu Xi’s physical body was more than one level higher than Zhang Zhan’s!

The two of them were simply not on the same level!

“With this little strength, it’s best that you don’t embarrass yourself.”

Gu Xi suddenly exerted strength and actually threw Zhang Zhan in front of him.

Under the enormous strength, the latter was unable to control himself as he continuously retreated. Only when he finally retreated to the entrance of the hall did he finally stop.

“This is merely a fluke of yours. Don’t be arrogant!” Zhang Zhan stomped his feet fiercely. The force was so great that even the ground under his feet had a slight crack. Then, his body once again rushed toward Gu Xi.

Gu Xi’s expression was strange, but he did not say anything again.

He had clearly received his attack in the most direct way and had steadily gained the upper hand. In the end, this guy still had the nerve to say that he was lucky?

Gu Xi tapped his toes and disappeared from the spot.

His speed was so fast that no one could see how he disappeared.

When everyone came back to their senses and subconsciously looked for Gu Xi, the two people on the other side had already come into contact with each other again.

Bang bang bang bang bang —

Muffled sounds rang out one after another. The fight between the two could be said to be a fist-to-fist fight.

Zhang Zhan was forced to stop where he was. A blurry shadow was attacking him like a ghost. He raised his hand and swung his fist in a panic, trying to block and resist. But every time, the ghost seemed to have predicted his next move.

He felt his body go numb. This was an emergency response when a human body was attacked in many places in a short period of time. He did not even feel any pain.

“The person you brought back… is really not simple.”

After taking in all of this, Tang Conglin, who was sitting at the head of the table, glanced at Tong Shan.

Tong Shan chuckled. From the corner of his eye, he intentionally or unintentionally stole a glance at the two girls, Little Nine and Qing Zhu. He did not respond to Tang Cong Lin’s words.

He knew that compared to Gu Xi, these two girls were the most dangerous ones here.

One of them had unfathomable strength. When he first met her in the Branch Pavilion of Jingyang, even he felt powerless under that faint pressure. One of them had a mysterious identity and could carry the Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token with her. How could any one of them be simple?

Thinking of this, Tong Shan smiled bitterly. In his opinion, among the three of them, perhaps only Gu Xi’s background was the simplest, and the strength he displayed was not too unexpected. However, what made him feel somewhat puzzled was that it was a man like Gu Xi who seemed to be the backbone of the three of them.

“Could it be that there’s something I haven’t discovered?” Tong Shan stared at the ghostly figure in the middle of the hall and muttered to himself.

At the same time, the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh came to an abrupt end.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the two of them, wanting to understand the outcome of this match.

Gu Xi’s figure once again appeared in the middle of Little Nine and Qing Zhu. He even sat down once again. His expression was calm and his breathing was steady. Not even a single wrinkle had appeared on his clothes. It was as if he did not participate in a duel at all.

On the other side, Zhang Zhan could be seen standing on the spot in a daze. A bloody scar flowed down his forehead, and his entire body was covered in bruises. Not a single piece of undamaged skin could be found. His clothes were in a mess, like a beggar begging on the street. The originally bright and beautiful clothes of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had long been ruined.

“I told you to withdraw from the duel long ago. Why did you do this?” Gu Xi spoke softly and took a sip of the tea on the table.

As his words fell, Zhang Zhan staggered and fell to the ground. If it was not for his ragged breathing, everyone present would have thought that Zhang Zhan had been beaten to death by Gu Xi.

“Impudent! You should have said it nicely, but you actually injured Junior Brother Zhang to such a state!” Hou Yu’s face was livid as he shouted sternly. He pointed at Gu Xi and reprimanded him.

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people nodded one after another. Their eyes were filled with hostility as they looked at Gu Xi, as if they were reprimanding him for being careless.

Gu Xi did not seem to mind their criticism. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

“Enough.” Just as Hou Yu was about to make things worse, Tang Conglin’s voice came, “Zhang Zhan only suffered superficial wounds. He didn’t hurt his root.”

Hou Yu was stunned at first. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Tong Shan’s voice. ”

That’s right. If Gu Xi really did not hold back, I would have stopped him long ago.” Tong Shan spoke calmly. The two of them were clearly standing on Gu Xi’s side.

“But…” One of the disciples wanted to voice out his doubts, but was stopped by Hou Yu with a wave of his hand.

Hou Yu glanced at Zhang Zhan, who was lying on the ground unconscious. His expression was terrifyingly gloomy. Even though he wanted to teach Gu Xi a lesson, he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

Since the two Pavilion Masters had already spoken, if they were to question the severity of Gu Xi’s attack now, they would be questioning the two Pavilion Masters.

“It seems that I have been blind. Sorry for making a fool of myself.” Hou Yu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The gloomy look on his face disappeared without a trace. He continued with a smile, “Since the outcome of the duel has been decided, we can’t say anything more. The quota for the Grand Sect Competition will naturally be replaced by someone recommended by Pavilion Master Tong.”

Tang Conglin nodded. With a wave of his hand, a few guards immediately appeared from the shadows and carried the unconscious Zhang Zhan out of the hall to treat his injuries.

“Although Zhang Zhan failed the duel, the conditions I mentioned earlier still stand. If he needs anything in the future, just come to me or the Branch of Jingyang Pavilion.”

Tong Shan spoke again, and the displeasure in the hearts of the crowd faded a little.

Tang Conglin, who was at the side, nodded. He then swept his gaze across the crowd in the main hall. His gaze lingering on Gu Xi for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, “In that case, I’ll give you a brief introduction of the specific points to pay attention to in this Grand Sect Competition.”
